The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 29 He's More Suspicious

Hearing Liang Fenghong's words, Huang Yade felt increasingly strange. His foresight increased and he began to realize that there was something slightly different about Liang Fenghong's figure. However, the longer he watched her, the more he became less and less aware of what was different.

Wait, is this just Huang Yade's feeling or .. The young man's lips are like using lipstick?

Huang Miaoling who noticed the change in her brother's expression as the man's gaze directed at Liang Fenghong's face widened. His instincts warned that Huang Yade was beginning to notice the oddity. Huang Miaoling's eyes glanced at Liang Fenghong, but he could not see the front of his face because the man was facing the Big Brother.

The girl cleared her throat and said, “So, what's the reason you came here?”

Huang Yade regained her senses from her daydream and immediately turned to her sister. His forehead that was already wrinkled with confusion was now punctuated with an aura of turbulent emotions. The man snorted. “Young Master Liang will quickly become part of our family. Therefore, then I will continue to be bright.”

‘It seems, I know what things First Brother will say,’ Huang Miaoling muttered inwardly while imagining himself turning an eyeball.

As Huang Miaoling expected, Huang Yade chatted at length, reprimanding himself for everything that happened today. How dare Huang Miaoling cornered Emperor Weixin about Wang Wuyu's question and also postponed himself to fall into the trap of the prince and Li Guifei.

Huang Yade also mentioned Wei Shulin's report on Liang Fenghong and Huang Wushuang's debate. He still could not believe that his sister had the sky-high courage to involve Princess Wu Meilan in order to protect her from Huang Wushuang's hands. If there was a problem, wouldn't the relationship of the Wu kingdom and Shi kingdom be its victim?

As his brother's mouth opened and closed incessantly, Huang Miaoling stared at Liang Fenghong, feeling a little embarrassed as his brother's true nature began to unfold. However, on the other hand, his brain was also still decorated with beautiful trinkets from his grip with the Young Master Liang. This made the girl slightly lose focus on the nagging of the Big Brother.

Arresting that Huang Miaoling had not listened to him, Huang Yade growled low. “Huang Miaoling! Did you hear what I said?!”

Liang Fenghong who was watching Huang Yade turned his gaze towards Huang Miaoling. The man realized that his future wife was a little surprised, evident from her slightly enlarged round black eyes. It was like there were butterflies in the stomach of Young Master Liang when he looked at the girl.

Huang Miaoling frowned his face and nodded his head. “I heard, I heard. However Big Brother, do you think I did that just to take down Wang Wuyu and Li Guifei? They're not worthy!” exclaimed the girl, a glimmer of annoyance could be heard from her tone. Maybe because of the beauty generated struggle with the Prospective Husband a little disturbed.

Ah!!

Sorry, a little change ….

That is, maybe because Huang Yade was interrupting his rest time ….

“What do you mean?” ask Huang Yade.

Just now Huang Miaoling wanted to open his mouth, Liang Fenghong interrupted him, “Because the biggest enemy in Ling’er's the Sixth Prince, Wang Chengliu.”

Unlike the previous time Liang Fenghong mentioned the name of the man, this time his face looked relaxed. It seemed, the burden in his heart had disappeared after ‘his conversation’ with Huang Miaoling.

Huang Yade put on a shocked face. “Wang Chengliu?” He asked, “What's wrong with him?”

As the one who cooperated with the Sixth Prince, Huang Yade placed a slight hope on the prince, just like the fact that he had started to believe in Wang Junsi. However, the three can be said to have built a plan together. If you want to be equal, then the relationship of Huang Yade, Wang Junsi, and Wang Chengliu is the same as the relationship of Liang Fenghong, Wang Junsi, and Huang Miaoling when they first devised a plan to save Wang Zhengyi.

Huang Yade hoped that he could continue working with Wang Chengliu to resolve the feud within the palace, balancing the forces within the kingdom. However, hearing his sister's remark, it seemed like the plan had to be reshuffled.

“Don't Brother wonder about the reason Sixth Prince helped Wang Junsi to catch up to the Wu kingdom?” Huang Miaoling raised his eyebrows. “Didn't you feel his decision to help us is strange enough?”

Huang Miaoling's question made sense, but Huang Yade felt he had his own answer. “The Sixth Prince is a descendant of the Shi kingdom, knowing Li Hongxia and Empress Dowager He want to rule his country, of course he will help. Besides, I heard from the Fourth Prince that the Sixth Prince wants to take down the Li family in order to avenge his mother.” He raised his eyebrows in confusion. “Isn't that a reasonable reason?”

Aware that they were so compact, the two lovebirds stared at each other for a moment before finally turning their eyes back to Huang Yade with a slight red hue forming on their faces. This made Huang Yade wrinkle her face.

‘What the heck?’ huang Yade's inner self with eyes slightly enlarged when she realized the hue that perched on the faces of the two lovebirds. ‘Oh, don't say they—!?’ He was beginning to guess what had happened!

Before the wild thoughts full of accusations Huang Yade had finished, Huang Miaoling said, “That's impossible.”

Again, Huang Yade's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at his sister in confusion. “Why is that impossible? Li Guifei poisoned Chen Meiren, no wonder the Sixth Prince held a grudge.” Then, he added, “More precisely, it would make more sense for the Sixth Prince to hold a grudge against Li Guifei.”

Huang Miaoling frowned his face, as if the Big Brother had just said something very strange. “Sister, what are you talking about?” his tan made the atmosphere turn a little strange, tense.

Liang Fenghong turned his head towards Huang Miaoling, feeling that something was wrong with the girl's tone. ‘What's with Ling’er reaction? Like there was a glimmer of annoyance in his tone.’

“Who said Chen Meiren was killed by Li Guifei?” huang Miaoling asked again.

His sister's question made Huang Yade wink, the anger that was still enveloping him instantly disappeared replaced by confusion. “It ...” He's spinning his brain, trying to remember.

Who said that?

After a while, Huang Yade said, “No.” His words made Huang Miaoling put on a bad face. “I .. I just realized that it was only my assumption from the Sixth Prince's remark.” Huang Yade's facial water exuded confusion, not expecting him to actually just base his statement on a mere assumption.

Looking at Huang Miaoling's expression that looked even more terrifying, Liang Fenghong couldn't help but stare at the woman and ask, “Ling’er, what do you know?”

“Chen Meiren killed Li Guifei?” Huang Miaoling's head shook violently. “Konyol.” His eyes stared intently at Huang Yade. “Chen Meiren died during childbirth, purely due to a difficult birth and without the intervention of others!”

Huang Yade bit her lip. “How do you know that?” The question was purely out of curiosity. He had always felt Huang Miaoling was like a box containing so much hidden information that it had ascertained its truth.

Huang Miaoling tried to explain calmly how Huang Yade's assumption was absurd. Li Guifei was probably a cruel and cunning woman, as smooth as an eel and as smart as a fox. However, his intelligence was directed at those who were able to shake power.

Chen Meilian, a servant who was accidentally touched by Emperor Weixin in an accident, was not Li Guifei's stumbling block. Meiren's position given to the woman was the result of guilt. Even if the woman was pregnant and bore a son, her son would not be glimpsed by the Emperor nor gain the support of officials. Therefore, there was no reason for Li Guifei to be afraid of that former servant!

Killed her? It would only be a waste of Li Guifei's power having other stronger opponents like Yang Defei, Huang Shufei, and Xue Xianfei!

Huang Miaoling believed that his brother who was called the Genius Strategist should be able to think the same as him. Then, what made Huang Yade so blind and ended up guessing that Chen Meiren was killed by Li Guifei?!

Huang Miaoling clenched his hands. ‘This must have been Wang Chengliu!’ the girl in her heart. His eyes emitted a thick killing aura.

A snort could be heard from Huang Miaoling. The girl laughed at herself who a moment ago suspected Liang Fenghong as the one who came from her past life.

Compared to Liang Fenghong, wasn't the most suspicious person for Huang Miaoling ... Wang Chengliu?
