The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 73 Wang Chengliu's Actions

“Mistress, are you okay?” said Xiaoming who was a little worried about the mood of her employer. He had seen tears fall down Huang Miaoling's face when the woman passed him earlier. If the chairman finds out the Wife has been crying under his watch, Xiaoming's history runs out.

Huang Miaoling who had walked quite quickly left his courtyard and Wang Junsi spoke immediately stopped. Then, he glanced in one direction. “Yuanli,” call him.

Xiaoming blinked confusedly hearing Huang Miaoling's words. Then, he slightly jumped up when he found Yuanli's figure landing smoothly in front of Mingwei Junzhu. Yuanli glanced at Xiaoming, nodding his head to greet.

Seeing Yuanli's greeting, Xiaoming smiled awkwardly and returned her nod. In contrast to Meihua and himself who came from the Liang Residence, Yuanli was the same as Mudan who was educated by Liang Fenghong at Lianhua Yuan. Thus, it was no wonder that the girl was quite affectionate with him. After all, Xiaoming was among the seniors in Yuanli's eyes.

Xiaoming's head turned towards the trees that she thought were where Yuanli had been staying just a moment ago. ‘Indeed the number one spy Lianhua Yuan, the slightest bit of aura I could not feel as she hid,’ Inner Xiaoming. ‘In addition, staying in the palace seemed to also hone his abilities,’ the man's head nodded at the thought of that. Then, he froze as he watched Huang Miaoling's expression that had returned flat, as if nothing was wrong. ‘Wait .. didn't the Madam cry?!’

“Mistress,” call Yuanli while saluting. “All I have carried out according to your orders,” he explained.

Huang Miaoling nodded, “Yes, I can feel the whereabouts of Wu Meilan and Auntie. Too focused on our debate, Wang Junsi seemed to be unaware of Wu Meilan.”'s whereabouts The woman walked back, worry emanating from her black bead. “I hope Bibi can convince Wang Junsi to open her eyes and reorganize her mind.” His hands clenched as he said, “Wang Chengliu has poisoned his mind too deeply, I was forced to throw him into a trap like this.”

Xiaoming was wide-eyed at Huang Miaoling's statement. ‘J-so, all the things that just happened are ... theatricals?!’ Then, he sat down, ‘Tak wonder Madam previously ordered me not to do anything when feeling the existence of someone.’ He looked at his master and Yuanli in silence. ‘So, that person was Princess Meilan.’

Yuanli nodded his head, agreeing with Huang Miaoling's words. “The Sixth Prince took the opportunity when you and the Chairman were busy preparing for the wedding to interact with some people.” He mentioned several names, “Fourth Prince, Consort Song, Yang Defei, Minister Yang, Minister Shao, and also a member of the investigation department, Investigator Rong.”

Hearing this, Huang Miaoling's footsteps stopped. “Investigator Rong? I've never heard this name,”.

“He only joined the government about three-four months ago, just when the Madam was still in Wu,” Yuanli explained. “One of the examinees who passed with high scores. However, instead of joining the core government, she chose to join the investigation department.” The waiter added, “His incredible ability and intelligence made him so trusted by the Chief Investigator Wei.”

“Oh? Brother Cousin Wei?” Huang Miaoling's forehead wrinkled as he continued on his way. “What does he deserve to be trusted?”

Yuanli explained, “He's a follower of the Sixth Prince.” The girl's words made her master put on a mocking smile, having expected it. “However, I heard a moment ago that he started to stay away from the Sixth Prince's stronghold.”

“Oh?” Huang Miaoling turned his gaze to Yuanli. “Reason?” his question was followed by the head of his subordinate's arm. “Continue watching her,” the woman looked back to the front.

A little hesitation enveloped Yuanli's gaze. “Attention Researcher Rong? What about the others? Aren't they much more dangerous? Moreover Minister Shao, Yang Defei, and Consort Song who know about some of the things we have done in the palace.”

Given that Yuanli had interacted with Wang Chengliu, Song Qiaolan, as well as Yang Yuechan, he would not be able to help much in Huang Miaoling's fight with the Sixth Prince. Instead of helping, Yuanli was a little worried that he would make it difficult for Huang Miaoling just in case Wang Chengliu would get rid of him suddenly.

Huang Miaoling's eye radiance did not tremble at all, showing an incredible calmness. “In addition to the Investigator Rong you mentioned earlier, I already have a way to deal with the others.” He added, “Wang Chengliu will not dare to touch you, he knows that you are under the supervision of Empress Mingmei as well.”

Yuanli fell silent, watching Huang Miaoling in awe. ‘Of course, what am I thinking? The madam must have prepared everything,’ the maid's inner self while smiling.

“Yuanli, do some things for me,” Huang Miaoling said. He also lowered some orders to his subordinates.

Huang Miaoling's orders were always shocking, but Yuanli had gotten used to not putting on an exaggerated expression. He bowed respectfully and said, “I understand, Madam.”

“Go,” said Huang Miaoling without paying attention to how his subordinates disappeared like dust blown by the wind. ‘Wang Chengliu, the lie you said that night began to unfold.’ A mocking smile was painted on the woman's face. “Xiaoming,” call it.

“Mistress,” reply Xiaoming, ready to receive orders.

“Prepare the train and tell A Feng that I will go first,”, said Mingwei Junzhu.

Xiaoming widened her eyes. “But Madam, the Chairman said that he expects you to wait for him,” said the man, a little worried.

Huang Miaoling was silent for a moment, recalling A Feng's remark that asked him to wait. The woman tightened her lips tightly, hesitating slightly at her decision.

Finally, Huang Miaoling said with confidence, “A Feng will understand.”

***

Brak!

The official hat that Shao Yanjun had just released was thrown violently onto the table. The man sat down on the chair while kneeling his temple, reflecting his deep anxiety towards his current situation.

“Yanjun, what happened?” li Yanmei said with a worried face. The woman poured the tea into her husband's cup, then presented it to Shao Yanjun. “Your face looks bad, you better get some rest,” she suggested.

Shao Yanjun shook his head. “Though Li Shijing is still alive, but the woman is no longer helpless. On the other hand, Wang Wuyu had been successfully eliminated forever.” The man hit the table hard. “However, only Huang Miaoling has become increasingly powerful and difficult to handle!”

To be honest, Shao Yanjun knew that it was not due to his incompetence. After all, the fact that Wang Chengliu himself could not defeat Huang Miaoling in the debate in the palace was also there. If you want to blame something, then blame the sky for blessing the woman with a tongue that is so good at sparkling.

Li Yanmei noticed her husband's facial water, and she knew that Huang Miaoling was not an easy opponent. However, there was an awkwardness that the woman felt from the Junzhu, as well as the Sixth Prince who headed the idea of taking the woman down.

“My husband, I have some things I want to say,” Li Yanmei said, successfully making Shao Yanjun turn his eyes on him.

“Tell me,” Shao Yanjun said as he grabbed his wife's hand. In fact, he needs to listen to the responses of others, hoping in case there is any inspiration he can get.

“Is allying with the Sixth Prince the best option?” Li Yanmei started with a question that made Shao Yanjun furrow his brows. “I'm sure that you've realized this, but I feel like I should say it back.” The woman continued, “I feel, the Sixth Prince does not just want to get the throne to improve the government situation.”

Li Yanmei explained that after the fall of Li Hongxia, Li Shijing, and Wang Wuyu, the situation of the palace should have been quite good. Then, what was the purpose of Wang Chengliu intending to take down Huang Miaoling and the Huang Family?

“The Huang family is a loyal devotee of the Shi Kingdom, even if Emperor Weixin makes a mistake, they will continue to support him without hesitation,” Shao Yanjun replied, somehow felt himself defending Wang Chengliu without any solid foundation.

Li Yanmei's forehead wrinkled, “I don't feel that way.” The woman sat herself on the chair and looked at her husband intently. “Huang Qinghao may be a loyal great general, but Huang Yade is not blind. The eyes of the Minister of Defense are open for the good of the people, as are Prime Minister Situ and other officials involved with the Huang.” Family

Shao Yanjun fell silent, trying to twist his brain and think back about all the things that had happened. His wife's words were indeed true, whether it was Huang Qinghao, Huang Yade, Situ Haonan, or Wei Xinhao, they carried out their duties well and for the country. To say they served blindly against Emperor Weixin is not appropriate.

After Li Hongxia's fall, almost the entire government had been purged. Those who had been involved in dirty business by themselves resigned or stopped doing so, worried that someone would find evidence and plunge them into the palace prison.

“In fact, Mingwei Junzhu herself is only at odds with everyone who intends to harm her family. In other words, the woman will make sure that she who sits on the throne is a worthy person and does not abuse her family's loyalty towards the kingdom, is it not?” cetus Li Yanmei carefully.

Shao Yanjun was silent for a moment, then tried to think. Then, he decided to explain a little of the information he got from Wang Chengliu.

Initially, Huang Miaoling attempted to take down the Crown Prince by pushing Huang Wushuang to the prince. With the chaos produced by the former crown princess, Wang Zhengyi's reputation became even worse. It was a good start considering that Wang Zhengyi did not have the qualifications to become a good leader.

However, after returning from Wu Kingdom, Wang Chengliu and Shao Yanjun felt Huang Miaoling changed. The woman began harboring suspicious ambitions, and it began with her match with Liang Fenghong, who turned out to be the Physician Jianghu and the chairman of Lianhua Yuan. Moreover, in contrast to his original goal, Huang Miaoling instead turned to supporting Wang Zhengyi.

“Wait,” Li Yanmei felt there was an awkwardness. “King Mingwei Junzhu aside, don't you feel the Sixth Prince's way of thinking is a little strange?”

“You mean?”

Li Yanmei hesitantly said, “Try to think. Before the disappearance of Mingwei Junzhu, the Sixth Prince was still fully devoted to the Crown Prince. He even got involved in the efforts of Minister Huang and the Fourth Prince to depose Huang Wushuang so that Princess Wu could be with the Crown Prince.” The woman continued, “However, now she intends to go against Mingwei Junzhu who intends to support the Crown Prince?” Li Yanmei felt his head turn dizzy. “This doesn't make sense.”

Shao Yanjun sighed, not feeling strange if his wife did not understand the way Wang Chengliu's mind was so runny. “In short, getting involved with the Fourth Prince and Minister Huang aims to get more information about the situation in Wu, as well as to establish relations with the Huang Family. In addition, helping Wu's internal war by sending Wang Junsi .. actually has another purpose.”

“Other destinations?”

“Intinya, the Sixth Prince used the opportunity to contact Tubo Kingdom,” Shao Yanjun reply made Li Yanmei put on a confused face. “When the Fourth Prince was attacked and disappeared, in fact he was not alone.”

Li Yanmei's eyes grew bigger. “You mean, the Sixth Prince sent people to accompany him?”

Shao Yanjun seemed to think hard, then shook his head. “It would be more appropriate to say the Sixth Prince sent someone to watch him.” He added, “In addition, this person also delivered a message to King Tubo.”

“What is possible—"

“Master! Mistress!” a shout made Li Yanmei stop his words. The woman turned to the door at the same time as her husband. A servant slammed the door open and entered the room in a hurry. “Master! Mistress!” call the waiter again.

“No manners!” reprimanding Li Yanmei while frowning, a little annoyed with the attitude of his servant.

The servant exuded fear, but there was something more frightening at the moment than the anger of his two masters. “Master! Madam! A woman came and barged into the courtyard of the Big Lady!”
