Wen You bowed her head thanking Han Ying as Han Ying entered her own room. Before going to sleep, she went to check on Han Ling. Although Han Ling had her own room, Han Ying knew that Han Ling slept in her room whenever she wasn't around. Obviously, she had not been wrong this time either. Going to where she had spotted Han Ling, Han Ying covered her daughter with a blanket and made sure everything round her was okay before leaving. She had seen Zhi Hao. It was as if heaven was helping her but even when she met him, there was nothing she could do because they had both been with different people. How was she going to be able to talk to her brother? Meanwhile, Xing Ming couldn't sleep either. The fact that they were still searching for Duke Fenghao's body made him anxious. For him, it would be better if Duke Fenghao was dead. However, if one body was missing , it would confirm his suspicion. Tossing right next to Dai Chan, Xing Ming finally decided to get out of bed. Dai Chan was the o

Xing Ming heard the plan the high priest and come up with and smiled deviously. It was really a good one and he loved it. “Fine. Don't worry because I have the perfect idea who will take his position. Someone that will be able to act the part beautifully." Xing Ming said. Later in the evening, Wu Huan got called into the palace and Xing Ming talked to him. “You want me to go in and lie to Duke Kaifeng that I am his son? Your Majesty, what is this?” Wu Huan asked. “I have every reason to believe that Duke Kaifeng is planning to rebel. Duke Kaifeng thinks I am with his son even when I am not with him. I want to use this to my advantage in order to stop the rebellion.” Wu Huan heard Xing Ming say. “If that's the case then, why don't you just truly help him to find his son? If you can't, then you should just come out clean that you don't know where his son is." Wu Huan said. " Do you think I have not done that? If I knew where his son was, I would have returned him back to Duke Kaif

Zhao Yao continued to wait for Song Huo to tell her the truth. She knew that he was hiding the truth from her. “ Han Ying's family, Duke Kaifeng and his generals. They are planning to rebel against Xing Ming.” Song Huo said. “What? They are planning to what?” Zhao Yao asked in shock as she stood up. “Yes. They are planning to rebel and they want me to help them. I met up with them and told them that I would think about it. Actually, I am planning on helping them." Zhao Yao heard Song Huo say. “You are planning to help them? Do you have any idea what would happen? Have you told Dai Chan?” Zhao Yao asked panicking and Song Huo noticed it. They were really siblings indeed. Zhao Yao and Wu Huan. They panicked whenever they became nervous about something. “Calm down." Song Huo said putting his two hands on her shoulders as he came close to her. Zhao Yao stopped staring at Song Huo as she watched him stare into her eyes. Knowing that he was affecting her, Zhao Yao moved back clearing

Han Ying's eyes widened and the pot of tea fell from her hand as she heard her father say those words. Brother? Looking at her father's expression, Han Ying realized that she had spilled tea all over the ground. “Sorry. I was...." Han Ying said trying to find an excuse as to why the pot of tea fell from her hand. “What is wrong Han Ying?” Duke Kaifeng asked not believing what she was saying. Han Ying went to the door opening it to see the person she had seen before but Wu Huan was already gone. She had not wanted to disclose anything to her father yet because it had been Zhi Hao's wishes. Now, her husband had sent someone to pretend as her brother. His motive was obvious. To keep an eye on them. But why? Did Xing Ming have an idea about their plans? “What is wrong? Is there something you are hiding from me?” Duke Kaifeng asked. “I just wanted to see Zhi Hao. He isn't here. Where did he go to?” Han Ying asked feigning ignorance. “Forget it. We are not yet sure if he is truly her

Duke Kaifeng gazed down at his hand that Wu Huan was holding desperately. Although Wu Huan sounded desperate, Duke Kaifeng couldn't trust him at all. Wu Huan still didn't know about their plans which was why Duke Kaifeng didn't throw Wu Huan's hand off his as ye wanted. Instead, Duke Kaifeng removed Wu Huan's hand carefully letting it fall. “A of this is a misunderstanding. Our family is very loyal to His Majesty. You have nothing to worry about at all.” Duke Kaifeng said before leaving. Wu Huan sighed after being all alone in the room. What he had said had not gotten at all into Duke Kaifeng's head at all. Few minutes later, the servants came back in helping Wu Huan to finish dressing up. The time for the Empress's birthday banquet finally arrived and eveyone sat down already eating and celebrating. The Empress Dowager and Xing Ming smiled accepting all the good wishes from the officials. Finally, Han Ying entered the room. Her beauty had always been the topic of the day whenever
