The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 41 Warning to The Defei

Huang Yade's gaze turned to Langcao who was today accompanying him, hinting at the man to get close. After Huang Yade received a box from her father's bodyguard, she placed the box on the table and pushed it closer towards Yang Yuechan.

As Huang Yade did so, she said, “I want to convey an apology from my sister.” A faint smile was etched on his lips. “He feels sorry for having to force you to take action like this on your son.” There was regret from the Defense Minister's tone, knowing that his younger brother had encouraged Yang Defei who had never sought trouble to expel his own son. “He plans to see you himself. However, for some reason, he couldn't.” It was obviously because of Liang Fenghong. “Therefore, I hope with this gift, Defei can feel his sincerity.”

Yang Yuechan put on a polite smile as he grabbed the box thrust towards him. Without any worries at all, the woman opened the box and looked at the contents. Yang Yuechan's eyes did not blink for a moment when he saw the thing inside the box. Then, his eyes turned shrouded in worry.

“What Minister Huang chose this gift?” yang Yuechan asked as she raised her gaze towards Huang Yade.

Surprise enveloped Huang Yade, but the man tried to look calm. “My brother chose it, and I was not allowed to open the box,” he explained with a little nervousness. “Does ... Which Defei does not like?” He cursed someone inwardly when he realized Yang Yuechan's expression looked a little bad. ‘Liang Fenghong, you said this woman must have liked her!’

Yes, actually, the contents of the box were not given by Huang Miaoling, but rather Liang Fenghong. After all, Huang Miaoling did not have time to meet with Huang Yade this morning because the effects of sleeping pills given her future husband were working too well. In addition, Huang Yade knew clearly what the contents of the box were, it was just .. In his view, the gift should be safe.

Then, why did the expression of the Defei look so alarming?!

Yang Yuechan closed the box along with his eyelids. Then, a determined look emanated from his manic in the second he opened his eyes.

“I like it very much, Minister Huang.” The woman smiled. “In addition, there is no need for Mingwei Junzhu to be so condescending.” He dropped his eyes. “Ambition always ends in destruction. From the beginning, I should have stopped my son and not just kept quiet,” Yang Yuechan said.

If only Yang Yuechan had the heart to be harsh with his son, it was possible that his father would not have succeeded in inciting Wang Wuyu. However, his overly soft heart and his belief that the sky would brighten his son's mind blinded his senses. In the end, it was evident that it was all just a mere empty hope.

‘Taking the decision to be kind to her now, I hope it won't make Wuyu fall deeper, Yang Yuechan's inner’ with great worry. ‘Should, with the information I gave, Wuyu knew the best option for him now was to stay quiet and do nothing.’

Huang Yade did not intend to talk much, he had only come here to finish the thing that needed to be done. “I don't want to bother you too long with my presence, Defei,” he said. “Can you allow me to take my subordinates away now?”

Yang Yuechan understood that Huang Yade was worried that there would be some people who would suspect their interaction should the man stay too long in Yang's residence. Thus, Yang Yuechan also gave a gesture to someone. It didn't take long before a man stepped forward from the side of the room.

When Huang Yade caught the presence of the figure, she was slightly surprised. ‘Zhongcheng?’ He recognized the figure of the escorting bodyguard who had served the Fifth Prince for many years. For a moment, he understood. ‘Ah, so she is Yang Defei's eye on her son's side.’ The man was inward, ‘Then, Yang Defei let Wang Wuyu go unaccompanied at all to Kun Lun?’

Yang Yuechan knew clearly what Huang Yade had in mind when he saw Zhongcheng's figure, but he ignored it. Without Zhongcheng being Wang Wuyu's hands and feet, the prince would be unable to do anything. Therefore, pulling Zhongcheng from Wang Wuyu's side aimed to show the Huang family that he was earnest in dealing with his son.

“Zhongcheng, escort Minister Huang to pick up his subordinates,” orders Yang Yuechan.

Yang Yuechan turned his gaze to Huang Yade. “Unfortunately, I cannot accompany Minister Huang because I have other business. Therefore, Zhongcheng will replace me. I hope Minister Huang doesn't mind.”

Seeing the sign that it was time to leave, Huang Yade immediately stood up. He paid his respects to Yang Yuechan. “Sure, The Defei. I am so grateful for your generosity. May the sky always bless you.”

Yang Yuechan returned the man's respect with a faint smile. “May the heavens bless us all, Minister Huang.” The woman's look was sad. “Because if not ...” The woman did not finish her words. Instead, he ended his meeting with Huang Yade with a puzzling sentence. “Title my regards to Mingwei Junzhu and also Young Master Liang when you return later.”

Despite the confusion with Yang Yuechan's intentions of specifically sending greetings to his sister and future brother-in-law, Huang Yade still nodded her head. “I'll give you your regards, Yang Defei.” His heart felt that Yang Yuechan had a veiled impression of the two people.

Convinced that there would be no more exchange of conversation between the two people before him, Zhongcheng immediately swung his left hand in one direction to allow Huang Yade to come with him. “Mari, Minister Huang,” said politely.

After the two men had left the courtyard, Yang Yuechan reopened the box that Huang Yade had just given her. His tanned bead vibrates when it encounters an object in the box.

A pair of earrings made of gold glistened as they reflected the sunlight that landed on them. The top of the earrings was carved to resemble Gu Ting's flower [1], and the bottom was decorated with pomegranate pendulants, adding to the beauty of the jewelry. Without a jeweler, Yang Yuechan knew clearly that it had extraordinary value.

However, would the heart of an emperor's concubine tremble at the jewel? Yes, but it was not the value of that thing that made Yang Yuechan's heart pound, but rather the meaning.

Yang Yuechan's expression looked gloomy. The woman grabbed one of the two earrings and went down each curve with her index finger. Yang Yuechan's finger then stopped on the tiny pomegranate stone hanging at the end of the earring.

Yang Yuechan is impregnated, ‘Gu Ting flower symbolizes beauty and pomegranate stone symbolizing desire as well as power.’ Only the inhabitants of the palace fully understood the hidden intent of the gift. ‘Wu Fenghong .. Your warning has been received.’
