"But I still don't understand Miss Lao, why the Emperor wants to marry the first princess to Huang Zi Feng? The one who will inherit the sacred tree would be Huang Zi Feng, he also the one who will be blessed by status as a prince, what is the benefit for the Emperor?" General Fu too stressed to stand.

With Zhao Li Xin's order, Mong Yi prepares a carpet and small table for General Fu and Lory to talk Zhao Li Xin and the other also sits around the table, Mong Yi also prepares wine for all of them.

General Fu hands trembles when he lifts the cup without thinking he gulped the entire wine in one breath, Lory understands his desperation if this happened to her Kingdom she might faint on the spot right now.

"The Benefit is, Huang Zi Feng is the Emperor Son's" Lory take long exasperated sighs, the conspiracy is too deep she becomes chills when Ming Yue Yin told her all her stories.

"WHAT!!" all people around the table screaming at the same time except Zhao Li Xin who only makes his eyebrows furrows deeply this probably his shocked expression at least that what Lory though.

"The Emperor childhood lovers is a daughter of the leader of Heavenly jade pavilion, this whole conspiracy is initiated by the leader of Heavenly jade pavilion, first is to get the sacred tree power the second is to rule the Liangzu Kingdom, make Huang Zi Feng to mary Ming Yue Yin is like killing two bird with one stone" Lory sip her wine but the alcohol is too sharp she put the wine cup back on the table then she pushes it away.

General Fu pinch his temple, he feels like a failure he failed big time, the current emperor has played him for a fool all of this years he had this suspicion for the emperor but he brushed it off telling himself he had been paranoid but maybe he just wants to save himself from the trouble, he doesn't want to risk his life, career and his family, while the first princess lock up and raised as sacrificial lamb. How could he face his Lord in the afterlife, how could he live with himself?

"But the plan becomes haywire since the First princess fall in a deep slumbered"

"You mean the First princess do this to herself?"

Lory tilted her head, she slightly pursed her lips "She accidentally hears the old official talk secretly with his friend about her past that's how she knew she is not the emperor biological daughter, she didn't dare to confront the Emperor so she begins snooping around to investigate this matter by herself" Lory wave her hand aimlessly

"Then the emperor wanted to betroth her with Huang Zi Feng, she had no reason to refuse since everyone said he is handsome, talented, kind, gentle, nice to children, filial with elder and so on...…. Well overall he just too good to be true, then she got suspicious maybe it's woman instinct she begins investigated Huang Zi Feng background secretly, he goes as far buy intel from Red Flower brothels"

Red Flower brothels is Vermillion Palace branch, of course, Bei Li Yan knew about it, he suddenly clapped his hand "Oh, I hear someone purchased information about Huang Zi Feng, it's a young woman who looks like a maid, I didn't follow through because I thought is not important" Bei Li Yan smiled awkwardly, then he sensed his Lord glare sharply at him, Bei Li Yan admit his negligence he bows deeply at Zhao Li Xin "Apologies…."

"That maid is Ming Yue Yin personal servants when Ming Yue Yin knew that Huang Zi Feng is notorious sociopath she came to the Emperor to asked annulment her engagement, that's when she heavenly jade pavilion members talk with the Emperor about their plan to Taking over the Liangzu Kingdom"

Lory changed her drink with sweet flower tea, she sip the tea slowly before she continue again "So she ran, as fast she can but that still not enough at the end they caught her in the midst of fighting she was hit and become unconscious, and she's not awaked, the Emperor enraged his careful plan will go down the drain without Ming Yue Yin, so he do anything to wake her up"

"Is the reason Huang Zi Feng comes to the sacred tomb is to use the tree to awaken the princess, then kill her after she had no used?" General Fu hit the table furiously.

She's not surprised by General Fu outburst instead she answer him calmly "You know yourself the story about the tree and the chief who fall unconscious, The Emperor might though to get the tree to awaked the Princess and proceed with his plan,"

"THAT SCUM EMPEROR!!!" General Fu can't hold his raged, even f the princess is not his biological daughter but he had raised Ming Yue Yin since baby is he has no heart, even if it's a dog people would grow fond it after they raised it for a few years moreover a human being, General Fu body shaking from holding his anger, he bit his lips until its bleed and his fist clenched tightly.

"So, that's why the Emperor wants to kill you, he fears you would rebel if you know the truth, but your position in this Kingdom is too high you also the only person who bestows tiger tally by the previous emperor, if you want you can mobilize ten thousand troops under your command, your family had been served the Liangzu Kingdom for three-generation no one in this kingdom who have better position than you, and what make matter worst is the citizen adored you" Bei Li Yan prop her chin lazily.

"So, sending you here to protect Ming Ru Yi and get the sacred tree is the only pretext, I always wonder why sending a great general like you to guard a spoiled princess and the useless young master into the most dangerous place in the Kingdom, so this is the reason, then everything makes sense" Jin Hao snap his fan he smiles happily because he managed to satisfied his curiosity.

"And Ming Ru Yi is only necessary victims, the Emperor gives her the false map purposed is to misguided her and you General and his plan would succeed if Only Zhao Li Xin and me was not here" Lory lean her head on Zhao Li Xin arms, because Zhao Li Xin, Lory, and his people were here the General is managed to preserve his life, Zhao Li Xin going rampage killing every beast nearby inside the tomb also accidentally save the General, then the Huang sibling dead because of Zhao Li Xin, if the Emperor knew about this who can't imagine how angry he is.

"But how does the first princess knew Huang Zi Feng is the Emperor's biological son's, even I never knew about this?" Bei Li Yan looks annoyed, how could someone else have better information than him.

Lory smiles dryly "I think she got another source…" Lory said with perfunctory manner, she guessed it's probably Arthea and for what reasoned she just doesn't know but who can't understand the mind of Seeress anyway.

"Sister, do you know who is it?" Bei Li Yan pleads cutely who only makes Jin hao disgusted and Zhao Li Xin annoyed, Bei Li Yan stops acting cute when his Lord shoots a dagger with his eyes.

"Who knows, why don't we asked the princess herself" Lory raised from her seat.

General Fu flabbergasted "Miss….you….you can save the first prince"

"Yes!!" he said casually Do you know where is Ming Yue Yin sleeps?"

"Yes, I do!" General Fu nodded his head, his face lit up if the first princess can be safe then he still has a chance to atone his mistake and ask his friend forgiveness in the afterlife.

"How much time you need to reconvene your army?" Lory asked

"At least I need three to four days," said general Fu.

"So given takes is five days then" She rubbed her finger on her lips, she immersed in her thought then she nudged Zhao Li Xin "In five days we need to get Ming Yue Yin out from the palace, with the death of Huang Zi Feng and the sacred tree is lost her life would be in danger, we can't cover up is you who hurt Ming Ru Yi, this useless young master would become an eye witness"

"We can kill them.." Zhao Li Xin said nonchalantly.

Lory's mouth twitch a bit "Nah, they mistake is only being stupid, I don't feel good killing them, they also coming from influential family maybe we can use them somehow" Lory feels conflicted how to deal with them.

"Or we can altered their mind" Jin hao smiles slyly "We can use my drugs to altered their mind makes them think they we want it to be, but the drugs it only works for a weak mind meaning 'stupid' otherwise it would hardly work" Jin Hao raised the white bottle like drugs commercial on television.

Everyone unconsciously looks at the three young masters' unconscious face, they look like someone who sleeps soundly one of them even drolling.

"I think they stupid enough," said Bei Li Yan.

"Indeed…" Zhao Li Xin agrees.

And so the plan to save the sleeping beauty begins, Mong Ki and Mong Yi would lead a shadow guard to infiltered the palace and kidnapped the 'sleeping beauty' then Jin Hao would take care of the tree young master, Bei Li Yan would gather information and called Jiang Jin Wei to prepare if anything happened.

Lory and Zhao Li Xin would waiting at Ninjing manor for the 'sleeping beauty' arrival while General Fu would delay his return to the city at the same time send his subordinated to call back his troops, most general in the Liangzu kingdom respect the previous Emperor rather the current emperor because they had fight side by side with the Emperor so the loyalty between them and the previous Emperor is running deep and after the previous Emperor passes away they loyalty shift to Fu Xiao Jin as someone who is the closest to the emperor, this is why the current Emperor fear him very much.
