The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 33 The Emperor's Sister

Wang Wuyu's brain spun. No matter how much wrong he did, the mother never punished him. Only a gentle reprimand would be thrown from Yang Defei. But now, why was that woman acting so cruel?

As he was welcomed back by Eunuch Gao, Wang Wuyu's gaze became increasingly dark. He walked out of the palace of the Father and led to his residence.

Wang Wuyu's mind felt tired. It was caused by the threads of events that began to connect by themselves after the prince traced back all the things that happened that day.

Huang Shufei's bad relationship with Huang Wushuang was known to Eunuch Xia, making the man inform Li Guifei of the matter. It was the basis of Li Guifei's cooperation with the Crown Princess. Then, to cover up his cooperation with Li Guifei, Huang Wushuang ended up removing Yuanli from his residence by having the girl deliver the goods to Huang Shufei as an excuse. At the same time, it opened up an opportunity for Yuanli to tell Liang Fenghong so that the man could arrive in time to stop Xiaoye from trapping Wang Junsi and Huang Miaoling.

“Your Highness,” the two female servants who were guarding in front of the room Wang Wuyu gave his greetings when he saw the man. The two opened the door for the man before closing it tightly again.

Wang Wuyu pegged for a moment in the middle of his living room. Then, he slammed his two fists on the table, making the teapot and tea cup on the table clink hard.

The two maids who were outside were shocked, but they could only fall silent. In their hearts, they pray that the anger that dominates their master will not be thrown to the innocent.

As the anger within him had not been completely shed, Wang Wuyu turned the table, letting the objects on it slam and break apart scattered on the ground. The man kicked the chair in front of him so that it hit the wall with a terrible sound.

Like a beast that had just escaped, Wang Wuyu vented all his anger at the unfortunate things that were in his room. Whether it's gifts from important people or valuable documents, nothing is missing from ‘touch’ the Fifth Prince. After all, those things would no longer hold any meaning when he was confined to Kun Lun.

Only when the room turned chaotic did the man calm down. He sat down on the cushion in front of his desk and began to look back.

Suddenly, something engages in Wang Wuyu's mind. ‘Wait, unreasonable.’ The man frowned. ‘How does that servant girl named Yuanli know what happened to Huang Miaoling? Did he catch the Death Troop that kidnapped Huang Miaoling?’ The wrinkles on his forehead became deeper and deeper. ‘No, with the ability of the Death Squad that could even take down Huang Miaoling, then the girl should not be able to escape if so!’

Then, how? What's wrong? Wang Wuyu felt that there was something missing from him!

For a long time Wang Wuyu tried to rack his brains. However, due to the anger and resentment that accumulated in his heart, his brain became unable to think clearly. His mind went back around the fact that he had lost all chance.

What is the point of thinking about what has gone before?

Wang Wuyu stuck his elbow on the table as his face was immersed in his palm. ‘Even after sacrificing Xiaoye who was on the brink of death to cover the tracks of the Death Squad members sneaking into Father's palace, I still ended up like this?!’ he screamed in his heart while growling. “I don't accept!” He hit the table strongly, trying to vent his anger at his desk unfortunately. “Where?! Where is my mistake?!”

Just then, the door of Wang Wuyu's room opened. The prince's gaze immediately turned to the figure who stepped into his room. “Mother ...,” he half hissed when saying this, still not believing the punishment the woman had filed with the Father.

In the next instant, Wang Wuyu's eyes could not help but turn back when he saw Zhongcheng's figure. The Fifth Prince's bead did not move from his subordinates who stepped in following Yang Defei.

Hearing this, Zhongcheng did not look surprised. The man bowed and then said, “Fifth Prince, you misunderstood.” He straightened his body while continuing, “I never betrayed you ... because from the beginning my master was Defei.”

Wang Wuyu's expression turned very bad, he could not believe that such a thing would come out of Zhongcheng's mouth. Even though he wanted to insult his escort's bodyguard, but he knew that Zhongcheng's words were not wrong. From the start, the one who put Zhongcheng by his side was Yang Defei, the Mother. Therefore, it makes sense that Zhongcheng served his mother and not himself. When talking about people who deserve to be insulted, wouldn't that person be Wang Wuyu himself?

‘Because of her obeying all my orders, I forgot one thing so obvious. Zhongcheng ... is the Mother's messenger!’ Wang Wuyu cursed himself while wrinkling his face, ‘Stupid! How stupid!’ He clenched his hand. ‘No wonder Huang Miaoling's servant could know what happened, this dog*n must have used a way to tell him without Xiaoye knowing!’

“Wuyu, stop,” Yang Yuechan said softly. The look the woman gave looked very sad. “You know what the end of a forbidden ambition is. See what Li Hongxia has experienced!”

“That's because he's stupid!” reply Wang Wuyu.

Yang Yuechan's face scowled. “What makes you think you're so smart?” his reply. “Are you still not aware of the meaning of today's events?” He continued, “The Huang family does not deserve your enemies. With the protection provided by Defense Minister Huang first, it was already very difficult to find a gap in their families. Now, there is a Mingwei Junzhu!”

“What can he do?! Were it not for Mother messing up my plans through Zhongcheng, would today have ended in failure?!”

Hearing his son's confidence, Yang Yuechan put on a face of disbelief. The woman shook her head. The nature of his son .no one knows better than he does. Just because he was so outstanding compared to his brothers when he was young, peerless arrogance grew in Wang Wuyu's heart. Coupled with the ambition that the Father instilled in his son, Yang Yuechan was confident Wang Wuyu's arrogance would bring about havoc.

“You don't know? Great Master Qing cooperated with Huang Miaoling,” Yang Yuechan said making Wang Wuyu silent. “Even if the girl falls into your trap, you will still end up in defeat. You will not only end up in Kun Lun alone, but completely lose your status as a prince.” Yang Defei's eyes darkened. “In fact, you will lose your life.”

“Mother, what are you talking about?”

Wang Wuyu felt that there was something strange about Yang Defei's way of speaking, as if the woman was completely convinced by his speculation. However, no matter how Wang Wuyu tried to find the reason behind his mother's fear, he did not understand and was unable to find the answer.

What person could have made her mother so scared?

“Liang Fenghong ...,” Yang Yuechan's lips quivered when saying that name. Then, he looked deeply at his son. “Do you know that the man is the younger brother of Emperor Huatai?”
