"Bring me to see Wangye."
Gu Sinjie who heard Huang Mingxiang's request again bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, Wangfei. Right now his majesty refuses to meet anyone. The noble leg pain was relapsing, Wangye was afraid that this would make Wangfei feel uncomfortable."
Huang Mingxiang who heard this reason stared at Gu Sinjie coldly. It seems that it is not a real reason, but a fabricated one. However, Huang Mingxiang did not want to care too much.
"Alright, I hope Mr. Gu informs me immediately that Wangye is already feeling better with her pain." Huang Mingxiang forced a faint smile onto Gu Sinjie.
Gu Sinjie smiled back. "Well, of course, Wangfei. Wangfei, this subordinate will escort you directly to your residence that Wangye has prepared in this Wangfu. Ah .. and this is Su Mama. He is a senior servant who will serve and accompany you." Gu Sinjie glanced at Su Mama, Su Mama immediately bowed and smiled towards Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang smiled back, then they immediately walked inside Xiao Wangfu. Huang Mingxiang paid attention to every detail. It was truly an extremely beautiful and majestic Wangfu, vast and its beauty almost rivaled that of the Palace. If Xiao Muqing had not been crippled, he would have already become one of the dream son-in-law men that the noble families had been after. Unfortunately due to the war three years ago, heavy injuries hit his leg which left him numb and predicted to be permanently paralyzed. Xiao Muqing's light soon dimmed, but the previous Emperor still gave a tremendous reward for his services. The abundant money from the Palace continued to flow because of his services, as a protection for his dignity, the previous Emperor also gave full power over half of the imperial army. In fact, even the current Emperor who was his nephew only held his quarter. Ever since that incident, Xiao Muqing pulled himself out of the sight of people and rarely came out of Xiao Wangfu.
Xiao Muqing was the younger brother of the previous Emperor. One year after her brother paid her a large sum for her services, she died. Making his son who became the Crown Prince, none other than the current Emperor, ascend the throne. This made Xiao Wangye's position of Xiao Muqing even higher, as he was the Emperor's uncle. But even so, there was still no noble woman who would willingly marry him. Want as good as his title, if flawed, then no one will be wise.
Huang Mingxiang thanked Gu Sinjie before Gu Sinjie finally resigned himself after completing his task.
Huang Mingxiang was actually tired, but he had to be vigilant and dig up information regarding Xiao Wangfu. Xiao Wangfu was completely covered, they were like dead. There was no news of Xiao Wangfu and Xiao Wangye after the incident three years ago.
"Mama's Su." Huang Mingxiang chose to dig up information from Su Mama.
"Nubi, Wangfei?" replied Su Mama politely, her face a warm smile typical of a mother.
"How long have you been working in Wangfu?" asked Huang Mingxiang.
"Answer, Wangfei. Nubi had been working since Xiao Wangye first established this Wangfu. Does anyone want Wangfei to ask again?" answer Su Mama.
Huang Mingxiang nodded. "What's Xiao Wangye like? Anything about Xiao Wangye, please tell me."
Su Mama was stunned, staring in disbelief at Huang Mingxiang. To Su Mama's true thoughts before seeing Huang Mingxiang's figure, Huang Mingxiang would tremble in fear and dissolve in grief. Not wanting to meet Xiao Muqing and not wanting to know, after that shut himself up. But ... Su Mama was wrong, precisely Huang Mingxiang looked calm and resolute. The woman asked Gu Sinjie about Xiao Wangye's whereabouts many times, and even now took the initiative to ask him something about Xiao Wangye. This makes S Mama's heart happy, because their Wangye did not get a wife that is not too bad. But still, Su Mama's happiness couldn't be too great given the reason why Huang Mingxiang was married to their Wangye.
"Wangye was a quiet and resolute person. Although there were many rumors that said that the noble was cruel and heartless, the noble one still greatly appreciated one's efforts. Whether it's a small or big business. His highness was happy to eat snacks like bakpao, because Chen Taifei used to make them for Xiao Wangye."
Half an hour passed, and most of the topic was to discuss Xiao Muqing.
Alright .. Now Huang Mingxiang already knew the rough picture or most of this Xiao Muqing and Xiao Wangfu. It seems .. he can deal with it.
Huang Mingxiang's calmness existed not because he had already taken for granted his humiliated and banished destiny, but because there was indeed no other way but to calm down. He couldn't have killed himself, it wouldn't have produced anything. If he had to die, he would have to clear his name and be in a respectable position, then avenge the pain he felt towards Huang Liyue and pay the mouths of the nobles who had already sneered at him as they pleased. The entire Empire should be able to feel his anger.
Evening arrived, Su Mama stood guard at the door of her room. Huang Mingxiang sat alone on a mattress still in bridal attire complete with heavy accessories on his head as well as his face cover. He cursed Xiao Muqing for not coming to remove his head covering. If the man does not come late, Huang Mingxiang will open his own headgear and ignore the customary rules. Currently he is patient because he respects the customary rules that have been made by the ancestors.
"Su Mama, is Wangye still unable to come as well?" huang Mingxiang asked Su Mama, her tone looking tired.
Su Mama let out a short sigh before replying, "Yet, your highness. Your Excellency what a good-for-not finished Su Mama spoke, Huang Mingxiang has already returned to talk.
"Fine forget it, Su Mama. You can go back to your room, I'm tired too."
Su Mama returned to her room, after which the guard in front of the door of Huang Mingxiang's room was changed to the Xiao Wangfu warriors.
Huang Mingxiang sighed furiously, then flicked his bridal hood. The woman could finally see. Huang Mingxiang stood up, then walked towards the dressing table. One by one, the gold accessories attached to his head were removed. Leave long black hair sepunggai freely.
As he was about to walk towards the bed, Huang Mingxiang's steps came to a halt, his eyes focused on looking towards the closed window of the room. His heart was beating faster, yet it did not make his mind mess up. He felt that someone was outside his bedroom window.
Huang Mingxiang walked back, after which took out the longest and sharpest hair pin and continued walking towards the mattress to lie down. As he began to close his eyes, Huang Mingxiang heard the sound of a window slowly opening, with almost no sound, only the wind from the outside entering.
Huang Mingxiang felt a cold sensation on his face, his heart already couldn't bear to close its eyes any longer due to anxiety. Huang Mingxiang quickly opened his eyes and pulled out a pillow to cover his stomach, then lifted his hairpick to pat the dagger that was about to be cast towards him.
His eyes widened, looking at the figure of a man in all black clothes standing beside his bed while raising his dagger high, preparing to penetrate his body.
Trang!
Huang Mingxiang's stalk succeeded, then quickly got up from sleep and jumped away from the mattress. Shit, when he was about to lie down earlier he forgot to take off his outer clothes. Because of this the movement becomes slow because the wedding clothes are very heavy.
The assassin dashed towards Huang Mingxiang, making Huang Mingxiang's heart beat rise. He was not very good at martial arts, only able to perform light forms of self-defense such as fending off and dodging.
Huang Mingxiang ran away towards the dowry chest he had brought from the Huang residence. Nimblely his hand opened the casket cover and took out a small glass bottle containing a mysterious powder. The powder is a poison that makes the eyes blurry and hot, then slowly weakens the muscles of the victim. He got this from Huangtaihou just in case.
Prangs!
The sound of the broken glass bottle rang out loud, a puff of poison powder spread throughout the room.
Huang Mingxiang covered his nose tightly with his cloth, then kicked at the door of his room. The two guards on duty at the door of his room were surprised, because they were dreaming beautiful, but now heard the door kick from Huang Mingxiang's room.
"Fast run away from here, the poison will spread here!" Huang Mingxiang gave a warning as he continued to run towards the front yard of his residence. However, the two guards had not yet understood what Huang Mingxiang had said, they had already been affected by Huang Mingxiang's poison powder.
"Killer!" One of the room guards Huang Mingxiang exclaimed before finally his eyes closed and fainted.
Due to the exclamation earlier, the entire residence became in an uproar. Su Mama nimbly walked out of her room looking for Huang Mingxiang.
"Wangfey! The wangfei! Where is Wangfei?! Find your majesty! We must protect Wangfei!"
Huang Mingxiang who heard Su Mama's voice immediately shouted. "Su Mama! I'm here!"
Su Mama who also heard Huang Mingxiang's voice immediately dashed towards the front yard, her eyes glazed over with tears, her body trembling.
"Wangfei ... you .. are safe? Jeez, thank goodness. Thank you God, thank you ...." Su Mama squatted on the ground, crying.
Huang Mingxiang was stunned, Su Mama's reaction was really very alarming to him. This made Huang Mingxiang's heart slightly touched.
