Chapter 1936 The Series of Betrayal (2)

"Father…" Lan Zhi Wu's brother looked at his father and asked in a low voice, "The Imperial Family is not going to manage this matter?"

Duke Lan shook his head. "Leave them be for now."

He used to be loyal to the Imperial Family because this is his hometown and his entire family members were here.

But looking at how the Emperor was, he didn't want to dedicate his entire life anymore.

It was not worth it.

When Fei Yang Kingdom came here…

Duke Lan took a deep breath. "Let's go."

…

There were many people who were coming and going today. The matter of the crown prince coming was not exactly a secret. Besides, he was followed with so many soldiers that even the commoners around them would be able to see about what he did. Among the soldiers who came with the crown prince, two people went their separate ways. "It's really easy now," Wan Xiong murmured under his breath. He was part of the Night Rat Organization in the past before Nan Hua took him in. And before that, he lived in this city, Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City. Because he used to live here, he was naturally very aware about the high defense that the people in Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City had.

It was not something that can be dealt with so easily. Most of the time, the people who came to Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City would be inspected heavily.

But because they joined in with the Crown Prince's soldiers, they were able to enter easily. Behind him, Lan Fei Lin, member of Tiger Group who used to follow Chen Yuan, Nan Hua's ninth senior sister and now followed her, was staring at Wan Xiong calmly. She followed his instruction to come here and didn't cause any other problems to him. Even though Wan Xiong didn't really understand why she wanted to follow him even after she told him her reason, he didn't care too much. Adding another person to come with him would not stop nor hinder his plan.

"Where are we going now?" Lan Fei Lin asked as he took off the armor. The Crown Prince's army had suffered along the way, which made it much more easier for them to blend in and pretend to be part of the army. Once they entered the city, they went their separate ways.

Anyway, the commanders wouldn't necessarily remember all the faces of their soldiers. "Find an inn to stay for the time being," Wan Xiong said lightly.

"Openly?"

"Of course." Wan Xiong nodded calmly. He hadn't been here for so many years, who would still remember him?

His eyes turned in one direction.

Soon, he would find the best chance to sneak in and finish what he couldn't finish many years ago and had to flee. His failure on that year caused him to leave Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City and be chased for a long period of time in the road. After that, he managed to meet with the leader of Night Rat Organization and be helped.

Through the man's guidance, he was able to grow up safely and learned many things, included the most important information gathering. Climbing up with his own ability to the high position, Wan Xiong swore that he would return one day and took his revenge. No matter how long it took, he would come back when he was ready and prepared.

All the maps were ready and as long as he could avoid the detection of the people there, he would be able to sneak in. "Let's go."

Lan Fei Lin looked at Wan Xiong and then followed him silently. Her eyes caught the prosperous atmosphere of Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City. The world was really vast and she had been limited in her vision, only following her master's order and never actually took her time to appreciate everything around her. She lowered her head again and followed Wan Xiong. …

As the woman with the highest status in Shi Long Kingdom, the empress's palace was much more grander than the other women. Even if the Emperor didn't necessarily favor her, he had to give her the treatment that deserved her status.

If he dared not to, the family behind her would come to him and choke him during the morning court.

This was the importance of having a powerful natal family. "Your Highness, Princess Luo Qing Wei had returned."

The Empress, Empress Ye, who was playing with the cat in front of her, paused in her movements. She raised her head and looked at her maidservants. The Empress was already in her late thirties, but she still looked as young as those women who were in their late twenties.

Her beautiful appearance was still very good as she kept herself maintained well. "Princess Luo has returned?" Empress Ye asked with a faint smile. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "How is she? I heard that she sneaked off to the frontline."

The decision of Luo Qing Wei to go to the frontline could only be seen as something stupid by the Empress.

However, she knew that she couldn't persuade Luo Qing Wei, so all she did was to keep news about her whereabouts and safety. As long as Luo Qing Wei could stay alive, everything is good.

There was no need for her to worry about anything else. The maidservant looked at Empress Ye's face carefully and then replied, "Replying to Your Highness, Princess Luo Qing Wei look shaken."

Shaken?

For such an innocent and simple minded girl to be faced with the real cruelty of war, Empress Ye was not surprised about this. But perhaps for her to grow up a little bit, this was a necessary step for her. She sighed. "It'll not be appropriate to pay her a visit now. Send some fragrant flowers to her instead so that she could cheer up a bit."
