Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The night was deep.

In the guest room in the palace’s backyard, Yu Ming, as promised, set up a table of delicious food from all over the country to treat his sister, who had not seen his for many years, and the white bird who seemed to be of extraordinary status.

As soon as Miyo woke up, she didn’t feel much hungry. After eating a few mouthfuls, Miyo put down her chopsticks and looked at the strange stranger in front of him. However, Huang was still not full of food, picking and eating, from east to west around the table, busy.

Seeing her turning her head, Yu Ming was very happy. He quickly leaned forward and called out, “Sister Miyo.” He felt that she did not know where to start. Looking at the confused purple pupil, Yu Ming asked: “You… Do you remember me?”

The girl didn’t answer. She scanned his face, saw his chin from his forehead, and looked back. She didn’t feel any impression, so she shook her head very slowly.

“Not at all?” Yu Ming was anxious to ask a question, saw the girl was still indifferent expression, lost. He thought she didn’t want to recognize himself, but he forgot about the reaction now. How could this happen? They both grew up together. Even if they were young when they separated, they should not have any impression at all…

” Could it be… Had you lost your memory? ” He frowned, but his teeth, and continued to ask, “Sister Miyo, do you remember the little wooden man we made together? You also carved a heart pendant for Yu Ming, do you remember? My brother keeps them well. Can I show them to you? “

Little wooden man? Peach heart drop? The girl blinked blankly, and her eyes were not clear. Therefore, Huang was upset by his problems. He looked up from the food pile and said, “What’s the noise? Don’t you know if you eat or not? What a shame?” He bowed his head and pecked a few more times. He flapped his wings and flew back to Miyo’s shoulder. He trimmed his feathers and pretended to disdain: “Your food is also very ordinary… I, ‘burp’… I just barely ate one, ‘burp’… half-full Hiccups… “

He had a good time just now, but he put on this look of disgust when he was full. Yu Ming couldn’t help crying and laughing. Just as he was trying to pacify the hair blowing guy, a soft laugh came from the door. The boy was familiar with the laughter, so he quickly stood up and looked back. A middle-aged woman in a plain blue linen dress stood outside the door with her hands in her hands, a string of long ebony beads in her hands. There was no powder on her face and covered the corners of her eyes were with shallow wrinkles.

However, her face was as bright and lustrous as white jade, like a girl’s beauty. In this cold winter weather, she wore only a thin skirt, but she was not hurt at all. She was a chosen with profound cultivation.

“Mother!” As soon as Yu Ming saw this lady, he ran up to her, took her by the hand, and walked in. “Look, sister Miyo has been found by me!”

This simple lady turned out to be the hostess of Yu’s palace. With a soft smile like water on her face, she was led forward by the teenager until she reached the table. She looked up at Miyo, but she looked away. She bowed to the fat bird and said, “Huang, I’ve met you. Please don’t blame the child for his ignorance. “

Fat bird has always been courteous to women. Seeing that the lady was so polite, he was embarrassed to make noise again. He grunted vaguely for a few times and closes his eyes, and pretended to sleep. Then the princess looked at Miyo again. Facing her four eyes, she quickly closed her smile and closed her eyes as if she remembered something. After a long time, she sighed, “You miserable child Ming, you can avoid it for a moment. I’ll talk to her… “

When Yu Ming heard his mother’s emotion, he didn’t like to disturb their relationship. He turned around and walked out of the room. Mo, the blackguard, was standing under the eaves of the porch, staring at the dark shadow of the bushes in the distance.

This hateful guy… The boy thought of being left alone in the dining room in the afternoon. He waved his hand and threw a breeze to the door of the room. He glared at him and whispered, “You are so bold that you dare not take my words into consideration. Do you really think you can’t clean you up?”

The guard was called back by the magic wave and quickly bowed down to plead guilty. As soon as he wanted to explain, he was stopped by Yu Ming’s impatient wave: “Go away quickly. I’m upset when I see you. Go away!”

Mo knew that he was in a hurry and left without informing the master. It was a crime of dereliction of duty. However, he recognized Miyo at that time. He was too shocked to think about it. Now he couldn’t make up for it. He had to smile and bow again and quit the backyard in silence. “Let’s wait for the little master to calm down and then slowly make amends.” He sighed and turned around the nine winding corridors and went out to the reception hall in the front hall. It was strange to see that although the lights were bright, it was still silent.

Wasn’t Prince Yu still visiting? Was it over? He walked slowly to the door and looked in. The hall, built of pure ebony, had no ornaments at all. The columns and square beams were pure raw materials without decorative patterns. On the beams were hung several dark red octagonal wind lamps. Under the beams, there was a piece of oil-filled inclined wood panels. There were several small square tables, and several people were sitting on the cushions behind the tables.

On the left side of the innermost side sat an old man with white hair and a yellow beard. His face was full of deep wrinkles. He was wearing a thick warm cotton grey fur coat and sipping his wine glass. This man was the uncle of Prince Yu and the head of the main cabinet of the Ministry of the household.

The so-called “Main Pavilion” refers to the six small attics in the imperial palace’s front hall. All officials were in charge of government affairs in the cabinet. Therefore, it was commonly known as “Cabinet Minister” by the folk.

In front of him sat a handsome young man in a white silk shirt and a white jade crown. He leaned lazily on the wooden post, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind. His mouth was still full of smiles. This was Prince Yu’s brother Mo and the youngest younger brother of her royal highness. He often came to the house to rub wine, and he liked to be lively and unrestrained. His father was the Ministry of rites’ deputy head, but he never asked about government affairs. He only took a casual post in the guard camp and was happy all day.

On the other side sat two monks, one in black and the other in gold, in the secret order’s long robes. The black one, covered with a wide hood and lying on the table, was as thin as wood, sitting still. Still, it was a sorcerer of soul Mr.Coorong The man in the gold robe looked about forty years old and unsophisticated. He could hardly see any expression on his bronze square face. He squinted at the glass of sake on the table, but he did not move. This was Jin Ming, the eldest disciple of Prince Yu, who was in charge of the affairs under the holy tower’s gate. He was rigid and unsmiling.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The Prince Yu sat upright on the host seat, looking dispirited. There was no wine on the table. There was only a yellowing paper with a big “wanted warrant” written on it. From the simple description below, this was the Imperial decree of Miyo, which was wanted many years ago.

There was no sound in the hall. Although Mo walked very quietly, several people still noticed on the stage in an instant. When several different gazes swept over him, he immediately stopped and lowered his head, not daring to approach.

Seeing him, Prince Yu pointed at the wanted warrant on the table and ordered in a rough voice, “You came just in time. Tell them what happened at that time.”

“The situation at that time… “Mo naturally understood what Prince Yu meant. He was ordered to guard outside the Wanyun Palace, where Miyo was under house arrest. He had personally experienced the changes before and after the storm. After he sorted out his thoughts, he slowly said, “I remember that evening, the crown prince suddenly came to the door of the Wanyun Palace and lost his temper. He took the investigation file as the name and left Mr. Ye Chi. His men and others had been guarding the door. A two-quarters terms of an hour later, they heard the alarm, but they didn’t notice any obvious divine energy fluctuation. There is only one entrance to the Wanyun Palace. I think… “

“Okay…”Prince Yu suddenly interrupted her and looked around. “Did you hear that? It must be Shane! How could LORD meddle in this kind of thing? “

Everyone was silent. After waiting for a moment with widened eyes, Prince Yu’s eldest disciple, Jin Ming, finally opened his mouth and said in a loud and imposing voice, “Teacher, the legendary bird won’t follow her for no reason. I’m afraid the reason behind it is not that simple. You need to think twice before you act rashly. What if you piss him off?”

Prince Yu was infuriated by his question. When he was about to refute, the young man in white laughed and said, “Brother, I think you are just worried about nothing. It’s none of your business. Why did you get yourself into trouble! In my opinion, it’s better to leave it to the emperor and annoy him. Anyway, he was the one who issued the arrest warrant that year, wasn’t he? “

“Bullshit!”Prince Yu was even more furious when he heard this. He pointed at him and shouted, “You are so lazy. You always drink! Leave it to the emperor? Humph! If I hadn’t insisted on it, the arrest warrant wouldn’t even have a shadow. He wouldn’t have been able to turn big things into small ones! “

Seeing that he was not in a hurry to lose his temper, the young man smiled and leaned against the pillar to drink, without saying anything. Prince Yu raised his eyebrows and took a few deep breaths. Then he turned to the Minister of revenue and asked in a low voice, “Uncle, tell me what I should do.”

The old man stroked his beard and thought for a while. Then he shook his head and said word by word, “In my opinion, Priest must have something to do with this… Not to mention the crown prince, who was only eleven years old at that time, how could he take Miyo out of the palace? Just ask the Apocalypse… Only the emperor and Priest knew about it… What on earth happened inside? Our mind is still in a mess… However, the Priest was in Jing City now. If you have any doubts about Prince Yu, you can ask him first and make a decision. Otherwise, if you really piss him off… “

“Ask him? What should I say about Prince Yu? “

“Well…”The old man smiled bitterly and sighed again. There must be something wrong with Priest in the current situation. No matter how he asked, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be angry. But if he doesn’t tell you now, it will be more inappropriate to ask you when he finds out in the future.

The Cabinet minister frowned and thought hard. Then Prince Yu looked at Mr.Coorong… When he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a warrior in black bowing outside the door and reporting, “Sir, Prince Yu, Ye Chi wants to see you.”

Ye Chi？Prince Yu’s heart sank as he thought to himself, “I’ve been waiting for him the whole night. Finally, he’s here.”He waved at the warrior and sat upright on the soft cushion, ready to fight. After a while, the captain walked into the hall in a straight military uniform. He looked around and nodded at Prince Yu. Then he said straightforwardly, “I’m here to see her.”

“What does the emperor mean?”Prince Yu sat still and questioned coldly, “Does he take the wanted warrant seriously? Now that I’ve found her back, I warn you I won’t let her go easily. If you want to… “

“It doesn’t matter.” The captain didn’t wait for him to finish his words and interrupted him in a plain tone. It stood by the door and looked at him, without any emotion in its eyes.

Prince Yu was ready, but he was choked by his two words. He twitched his mouth in anger.

It was a waste of time to ask more. He could only point at Mo and shout helplessly, “You take him to the backyard!”

The guard took the order and reached out his hand to the captain. When he was about to turn around and leave, the young man in white who was sitting inside the hall with a cheeky smile stood up in a hurry and shouted, “Let me take you there!”He ran up to the officer, grinned at him, and made a gesture before leaving.

The officer didn’t care about it at all. Anyway, it was good that someone led the way. He followed out of the hall unhurriedly, and the guards in black naturally followed him. The hall was quiet again.

Prince Yu was pissed off by his rude brother-in-law. After blowing his beard for a long time, he slammed his hand on the table, which made the hall buzzing. The old man shook his head and sighed. He stood up and left. Jin Ming went out to see him off. Only Coorong lowered his head and remained silent.

Prince Yu sat there with a long face for a long time. Then he calmed down and squinted at the monk. When he was about to ask him something, he thought of something. Coorong, “Prince Yu, you don’t have to ask. I have some ideas to tell you in detail…”

Prince Yu raised his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and concentrated on listening to him, “The current situation is very advantageous to you. The emperor has to consider the wanted warrant on the table, and the princess is in your hands, so he must not act rashly at the moment. As for pries… Haha, I have to say something unpleasant. Even if he wants to interfere, he is powerless… “

Having a heart but no strength? Prince Yu was a little stunned and didn’t understand what he meant. Then he continued, “The Apocalypse incident that year was widely discussed. After the ceremony, many princes and daughters fell into a coma, but only Miyo and Shane, the emperor’s two direct lines, were safe and sound. It was inevitable to doubt what was going on… What’s more, when Miyo walked out of the pagoda, both of us felt the power that disappeared in an instant. We thought she was the successor. But after that, priest Dean named Shane to inherit the throne, and Miyo was said to be… Miss.Misfortune……I think he must feel guilty to take the wanted girl in. “

“Even so, why is he so weak now?”Prince Yu couldn’t help asking.

Coorong put his hand on the table and laughed weirdly. He continued to say in his mind, “Since he has a guilty conscience, now you have grasped something on him. If he dares to deny and clarify this matter, you can take the opportunity to use the relationship between Miyo and the divine bird to damage their reputation and also gain the support of the unwilling royal family in that year. If he admits it… Haha, that’s more like the black curtain of the Apocalypse. At that time, as long as you can operate it a little bit, you can even pull out the emperor and his family without any worries. “

“But what if he doesn’t say anything?”

“Then… Let’s force him to make a statement. “

“What tricks do you have, sir?”

“Rumor…”

“Rumors?”Prince Yu frowned. The Priest had always been indifferent to the world. How could some rumors touch him?

“Prince Yu, of course, it won’t work if we use this method before… However, the LORD is staying in Jing City now. Even if he doesn’t care about it, there will always be someone who cares about it… “

When Prince Yu heard this, it was as bright as the sun. All of a sudden, it was enlightened. He shouted three times in a row, and his heart sank. Now that Priest was still in Jing City, many people would come to him after the rumor spread.

After Coorong finished his words, he slowly stood up, bowed to, and walked out. Prince Yu was still sitting on the host seat, seeming not to notice his leaving. Countless plans flashed through his mind, making him immersed in meditation. The chess piece was in his hand, and he should think about how to put it down.

It was a long winter night. The lights of Yu’s Palace were on all year round. But after this night, there would be another storm in Jing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
