Rong Xuan stared coldly at Huang Liyue and Tang Yulan, then shifted his gaze towards Huang Mingxiang. Their gazes met, the two throwing cold hatred at each other. Rong Xuan turned around, leaving all of them without excuse. The woman was currently in a very bad state of heart due to Xiao Jihuang's decision. But she could not continue protesting, or her relationship would get worse and Tang Yulan would actually be repatriated to the South Coast Kingdom.
Huang Mingxiang also had no other reason to remain here, he immediately climbed into the horse carriage and was overtaken by Wu Zeyuan and Lu Fenghua. The three of them continued on their way to Wu Zeyuan Palace which had been delayed.
After the departure of Huang Mingxiang's horse carriage, several maids began to arrive and help Huang Liyue and Tang Yulan to get back on their feet, then take them to the prepared place. The place where they received the entire punishment that Xiao Jihuang had said.
Inside the carriage, Wu Zeyuan slowly regained his composure. Huang Mingxiang clasped his left hand with a smile. "You've done very well." Then his head turned towards Lu Fenghua. "So do you, Lu Fei."
Lu Fenghua smiled at Huang Mingxiang's praise, then stroked his stomach. "I will always do my best, Wangfei."
"I'm just doing a little thing, Wangfei. It's all thanks largely to you. The emperor would not have moved if it wasn't for you." Wu Zeyuan said that with a smile, there was an implied intent from his sentence. This made Huang Mingxiang's smile slowly disappear, while Wu Zeyuan still continued to maintain his smile.
It seemed like Wu Zeyuan already knew Xiao Jihuang's feelings for Huang Mingxiang. Wu Zeyuan was smart, that woman was not stupid. With just one night with Xiao Jihuang and exchanging sentences with the man, Wu Zeyuan would easily be aware of Xiao Jihuang's feelings. But amazingly, the woman did not peep in personally or even change her resolve because of the jealousy she had. The woman was also not noisy or making a fuss, instead using the situation with her wits. Seeing that Xiao Jihuang had once slackened to Wu Zeyuan, it seemed that the woman had managed to get Xiao Jihuang's special attention thanks to her ingenuity. Huang Mingxiang shortly afterwards returned a smile after thinking about this, he was delighted. He has a smart fighting partner.
Wu Zeyuan who saw Huang Mingxiang's smile frowned. "What makes you smile, Wangfei?"
Huang Mingxiang shook his head slowly. "none. I'm just happy to have a partner like you."
Wu Zeyuan immediately grasped the intent of Huang Mingxiang's sentence, then lowered his head for a while and again raised his head to stare towards the window curtain of the horse carriage. "I'm just doing things that don't endanger my life or don't make me a stupid woman." Wu Zeyuan's lips smiled again.
Lu Fenghua did not understand what Huang Mingxiang and Wu Zeyuan were talking about, the woman only understood that Huang Mingxiang praised Wu Zeyuan's hard work in cooperating.
After arriving at Wu Zeyuan's residence Palace, Huang Mingxiang said, "It seems that I can't stay any longer in the Palace. Forgive me for only being able to meet up here, I promise that I will spend more time with Wu Guifei and Lu Fenghua in the future. But, now I must return immediately because Wangye has already been waiting for me at Xiao Wangfu."
Wu Zeyuan frowned. "Don't you have any plans to stay at the Imperial Palace, Wangfei?"
Huang Mingxiang smiled, then placed his palm on Wu Zeyuan's shoulder. "I trust you all. Syaa sure, just get here, you can easily control it, Wu Guifei. Plus, we currently have Lu Fei present. You two can easily take care of everything." At the end of the sentence Huang Mingxiang turned his head to look at Lu Fenghua.
Wu Zeyuan and Lu Fenghua were stunned, then nodded steadily towards Huang Mingxiang simultaneously. Lu Fenghua clenched both his hands in front of his chest, then spoke excitedly. "of course! Me and Wu Guifei will do their best!"
Wu Zeyuan chuckled at Lu Fenghua's behavior, then nodded once more and said, "What Lu Fei said is right, we will definitely do our best."
Huang Mingxiang nodded. "Sure, we'll all do our best."
Shortly after another three to five sentences, Wu Zeyuan and Lu Fenghua descended from Huang Mingxiang's carriage. The two of them bowed towards Huang Mingxiang's horse carriage, then before long Huang Mingxiang's horse carriage drove away.
Huang Mingxiang smiled in satisfaction, he could leave the Palace with a triumphant smile. Huang Liyue, this is just the opening for the main game. The woman had to pay what she had done to Huang Mingxiang in her previous life. As well as Rong Xuan, Huang Mingxiang would take care of them one by one after Huang Liyue and Xiao Muqing's legs were done. His plan slowly began to go as he wished.
In the middle of the road, Huang Mingxiang's horse carriage had somehow stopped suddenly for no reason that he did not know first. Yui who was outside the carriage immediately lifted the window curtain of the horse carriage slightly and said, "Your highness, there is a servant standing in front of the horse to block your way. Do I need to take action to 'clean it'?"
Huang Mingxiang raised his left eyebrow. Previously the servant who dared to do something like this to his carriage was Xiao Jihuang's messenger.
"Your highness, it was the servant who some time ago also had time to intercept your path." Su Mama came along, making Huang Mingxiang convinced that it was Xiao Jihuang's messenger.
Huang Mingxiang was silent for a few seconds, thinking. Since previously the man had helped her in making Huang Liyue's deterrent, this time .. alright, Huang Mingxiang would agree. I don't know what the man wanted to say, Huang Mingxiang had a not-so-bad premonition. Looks like that guy won't act crazy just yesterday.
"According to what he wants," Huang Mingxiang said, leaving Yui a little confused, but not much to say and immediately carrying out what Huang Mingxiang said.
Before long, they immediately followed in which direction the servant was taking them away. Su Mama frowned, again the Palace is cold? But considering Huang Mingxiang was fine yesterday after returning from within, the old woman no longer fussed about him too much.
Huang Mingxiang immediately got off as soon as his horse carriage was opened, he walked inside the cold Palace through the back door of the Palace. The servant again immediately disappeared as soon as it opened the door for Huang Mingxiang.
Inside, Huang Mingxiang saw Xiao Jihuang standing by the window and staring at the large, dry tree behind the building.
"Do your majesty still have something to say?" huang Mingxiang asked, his body standing four steps behind Xiao Jihuang.
Xiao Jihuang slowly turned around, their gazes again meeting. The man smiled. "Are you feeling pretty relieved after this?"
Xiao Jihuang nodded, then heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God, Zhen thinks you're going to be mad."
Seeing the man's calm demeanor, Huang Mingxiang slowly relaxed his emotional feelings. The woman for the first time smiled towards Xiao Jihuang, although that smile was not a sincere smile, but it was quite enough to make Xiao Jihuang happy.
"How could I dare to be angry with you?"
Xiao Jihuang smiled back again, this time her smile looked lighter. "You said disappointedly to Zhen, how could Zhen let the woman whom Zhen loved be disappointed?"
Huang Mingxiang's smile was gone again, it seemed like the man did not really go back to his sane state. What did the man say just now? How could he let the woman he loved be disappointed? If the woman he was referring to was Huang Mingxiang, that man was wrong. In his previous life Xiao Jihuang had already greatly disappointed Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang took a step back. "Your highness, if there is no interest anymore, please allow this Wangfei to resign."
Xiao Jihuang shook her head. "Zhen promised not to be rude, please don't move further away, Mingxiang ...."
Huang Mingxiang grew increasingly uneasy, the woman immediately said, "What should I do to make you realize that I am the wife of your Imperial uncle, your highness?"
"And what should I do to make you realize that my love is so great for you, Mingxiang?" reply Xiao Jihuang.
Huang Mingxiang shook his head firmly. "Your love is forbidden, your majesty. You can't love your uncle's own wife."
Xiao Jihuang shook her head. "This love is hard to kill, Mingxiang. This love has existed since we were both little, you are too cruel if now ask this feeling dib**h just like that."
Huang Mingxiang took a deep breath, he threw away his gaze from Xiao Jihuang. "You are an Emperor, millions of lives and hundreds of areas of stability are in your hands. You can't possibly quarrel with your own uncle and start a cold civil war and then get a bad view of the surrounding community for already loving the wife of your own uncle."
"Mingxiang, then what should Zhen do? You always talk without giving solutions. You always talk without thinking about how crazy and crazy I feel!" Xiao Jihuang walked closer towards Huang Mingxiang by three steps, the distance the two of them were now not too far away.
Huang Mingxiang looked back at Xiao Jihuang, this time he walked closer towards Xiao Jihuang. The woman then pointed at Xiao Jihuang's chest, the place where the heart's organs beat. "Remove. Remove me from here. You have hundreds of women who can please you. There are more beautiful women in the Harem that you haven't met. And .. learn to love your Huanghou seriously. You are doing all this not for no reason, but for your own Empire. Your Honor, have you ever heard the phrase that leadership is good because of the good state of the heart? Many of the previous late senior Emperors had already proven that. Their advanced leadership one of the factors is their peaceful Harem state."
Xiao Jihuang looked at Huang Mingxiang difficultly. "If I were not an Emperor, would you be willing to become my Empress?" xiao Jihuang asked, omitting the formal designation for himself before Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang looked at Xiao Jihuang, their eyes meeting long ago. Huang Mingxiang shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, your majesty."
"Why?"
"When you're not an Emperor, my husband remains? Will Xiao Wangye still be my husband?" huang Mingxiang asked back.
Xiao Jihuang clenched both her hands. "Do you really love that guy??"
Huang Mingxiang was silent. But soon he nodded. "I love Xiao Wangye, my husband."
Xiao Jihuang was stunned, her heart was hit hard. The man walked backwards a lot until he stuck to the wall. His eyes were staring at Huang Mingxiang heartily. "How do I treat this loss wound? I was indeed the one who dropped the wedding decree, but I was the first to moan the hardest in my heart for seeing you enter Xiao Wangfu's door wearing a wedding dress."
"Your moans are your own fault. You fail to protect what you already love, your majesty." Huang Mingxiang frowned deeply, so he felt complicated by Xiao Jihuang now.
Xiao Jihuang turned around, turning her back to Huang Mingxiang. The man rubbed his forehead slowly. "Mingxiang, I hate my own destiny as Emperor. What good are the hundreds of women and great powers in the East if I fail to protect what I love?"
Huang Mingxiang shook his head slowly, that was all he could give. He could not answer Xiao Jihuang's sentence anymore.
There was no point in Xiao Jihuang regretting, she could not change her absolute destiny for being the Emperor. Huang Mingxiang knew, that man had no interest in having many women. The first time the man was appointed crown prince, Xiao Jihuang had absolutely no concubines or escorts. It was only when the man ascended the throne, due to various demands from the noble officials, that the man finally inevitably filled his Harem with a woman that was sometimes not his choice. The man seemed to have miscalculated, because in the end he was a little controlled by the Rong family. Right now his main force was the Rong family, if Xiao Jihuang were to expel Rong Xuan, then, then the crown that is on his head will fall because it does not have a strong supporting force to fight the enemies who are not happy with his leadership.
Huang Mingxiang bowed towards Xiao Jihuang. "Your Majesty, I think this talk is quite up here. Please your majesty reconsider everything I have said. This wangfei, retreat."
Huang Mingxiang turned around, stepping away. Xiao Jihuang did not budge, the man was still him by the window as he kept his back to Huang Mingxiang. The two men's eyes were tightly closed, Xiao Jihuang regretting her own actions. He hated his helplessness.
'Mingxiang, the further you go, the darker my world becomes.'
