The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 93 The Goal Is Love? Impossible.

When I succeed in taking over the throne from Wang Zhengyi, I will announce our relationship to the world.” Wang Chengliu gently touched Huang Wushuang's face, as if he was imagining that future. “And, you will be the most beautiful empress in the world.”

Huang Wushuang's hand held the blanket in front of her chest, and her eyes stared expectantly at the man before her. “I ... believe you,” he doesn't know what else to say.

Wang Chengliu stared bitterly at Huang Wushuang, aware that the woman was still unable to tell him love. “I love you, Wushuang” the man said as he kissed Huang Wushuang's hand.

Although he knew that he still had not fallen for the man before him, but Huang Wushuang was touched by Wang Chengliu's treatment of him. Clumsyly, the woman uttered, “B-be careful.”

Surprise appeared on Wang Chengliu's face, but it was replaced with a handsome smile that was so charming. As a healthy young woman, Huang Wushuang could feel her heart pounding as she looked at the man's face. Slowly, the woman had sunk into the charm of the sixth prince.

“I go,” said Wang Chengliu as he left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Huang Wushuang dropped her gaze. He felt that what had just happened was insane. ‘I ... have just committed adultery with another man, a man who is none other than my husband's younger brother.’ His hands shook, a little worried when this secret was revealed. However, the woman then clenched her hands, rounding her resolve.

Selling his body, it was something Huang Wushuang had done before. Now, for the sake of freedom and vengeance in his heart, the same thing he did for the second time.

‘What makes me a jal*ng like Mom?’ huang Wushuang thought as she stared straight into the darkness of the night with a blank look. ‘No!’ A burning fire was seen from the eyes of Consort Huang. ‘I'm fighting for life!’ She bit her lip, “Huang Miaoling .. You will fall soon.”

Outside the room, Wang Chengliu who had still not left the courtyard was speechless looking towards Huang Wushuang's room. Hearing what the woman said, a smile slowly expanded on her blameless face, ‘Huang Wushuang, you are indeed a foolish woman ..’.

After walking away from Huang Wushuang's courtyard, a black-clothed figure knelt before Wang Chengliu, making the man stop his steps. A cold glance was given by Wang Chengliu to the man before him, “How?” ask, “Have you caught that little mouse?”

The man before Wang Chengliu gnashed his teeth. Without daring to raise his gaze, the man replied, “We almost caught it, but—”

Without waiting for his subordinate's reply, Wang Chengliu floated a kick on the man's face. “He escaped?!” he grumbled with a stifled voice. “How can a little girl just get out of your hands?!” His hands clenched firmly, showing anger over the negligence of his subordinates.

Wang Chengliu's subordinate didn't get back on his knees, but before his master returned to launch a deadly attack, he hurriedly said, “There was someone helping him!”

The sixth prince froze. Then, the flames of anger that had flared on his manic subsided a little. “Who?”

Hearing Wang Chengliu's question, the man scrunched his face. “We can't see her face, she's wearing a black hood.” Aware of the flames of anger re-emitting from the prince's eyes, he quickly added, “However, when he helped the servant girl to escape, we managed to injure her. It's just that, by the time we had surrounded them, they jumped into the pool and disappeared!”

The explanation of his subordinates made Wang Chengliu frown. ‘What?’

Wet footprints and also blood spots accompanied the footsteps of one figure in the darkness. On his back, there was another person with closed eyes and gasping breaths.

“Hold, we will be there soon,” said the figure who is still fully aware, hoping that people who are with him can hear his words.

With great difficulty, the figure crossed the main street of Zhongcheng to then arrive in front of a high-rise building, the lotus emblem clearly emblazoned on the flag showing the name of the place. When he saw the two soldiers guarding the back door of the place, he immediately whistled.

Surprised by the whistling, the two soldiers immediately stood by. However, when they came to their senses with the chanted melody, they rushed to direct the torch towards the whistling.

“We don't have time!” yuanli. “Call Mudan soon, there is someone who needs help!” the girl orders quickly. “In addition, please send a message to Junzhu immediately to come here.” He glanced for a moment at the hooded figure perched unconscious on his back, “There is someone who wants his presence.”

***

Inside Lianhua Yuan's room, Yuanli had a serious face. His view was directed to Mudan who was holding the hand of a man, checking his pulse and the state of his patient.

“How?” yuanli asked as he saw Mudan put the person's hand back.

Mudan stood up and explained, “Belati was pierced right between the ribs, but was lucky not to injure vital organs.” The girl showed no worried or panicked expression, but there was confusion emanating from her eyes. “From his so stable pulse, he should soon wake up.”

Yuanli furrowed his brows, looking extremely confused and surprised. “Secap it?” tanyakanya. Although he had no medical knowledge as deep as Mudan, he knew that with such severe injuries, it would take at least one to two days for a normal person to wake up.

Mudan's gaze shifted from the figure on the bed to Yuanli. “What happened?” he ignored the question of his interlocutor. “How did you end up here with this guy?” Yuanli's lips opened, but before he could say anything, Mudan raised his hand. “Forget it, wait for Junzhu to arrive. Looks like, tonight we have to be on standby against a surprise attack.”

Finally, Yuanli could only nod his head in response to Mudan's words.

About an hour later, Yuanli and Mudan who were waiting silently in front of Lianhua Yuan's stage were startled by the door that suddenly opened wide. They turned their gazes and found Huang Miaoling's figure stepping inside in his casual clothes.

“Mrs!” call Yuanli as he rushed over to the woman.

Huang Miaoling looked at Yuanli and grasped the girl's hand, he twisted the body of his subordinate as if looking for something. When Yuanli returned to face him, Huang Miaoling sighed, “Thank God you weren't hurt." The woman then asked, “What happened?”

After offering his employer to sit down first, Yuanli immediately explained what happened to him a while ago. He began to tell from the beginning, which was about the adultery of Wang Chengliu and Huang Wushuang.

‘A bedeb*h and a jal*ng\, what a matching couple\,’ Huang Miaoling quipped in his heart.

Upon hearing every remark Wang Chengliu made to Huang Wushuang through Yuanli, Huang Miaoling's gaze darkened. No, the woman was not burning with jealous flames. Although it must be admitted that he felt very disgusted by the madness of Wang Chengliu and Huang Wushuang, but there was one thing that made him put on that gloomy expression.

His guess regarding Wang Chengliu's goal was to approach Huang Wushuang.

‘Huang Wushuang no longer has any use value for the purpose of Wang Chengliu taking the throne. On the contrary, the woman will be a burden and also a strong reason to tarnish her good name in the court of the palace as well as the world ..’ Huang Miaoling frowned his brows. ‘Knowing Wang Chengliu, he certainly did not do this on the basis of love. Then, his goal of having an affair with his sister's own woman was ...’

Not yet had Huang Miaoling set his mind, he heard an exclamation from upstairs, “Yuanli, Mudan, that person is already aware!” Upon realizing Huang Miaoling's whereabouts, the girl who was one of Lianhua Yuan's members immediately put on a shocked face. “A-ah! S-greetings to Junzhu!”

Huang Miaoling threw a short nod to return the greeting. However, he quickly turned his gaze to Yuanli and Mudan. “Who ‘orang’ does he mean?”
