Reborn Spoiled Ming Wangfei

28 Is Imperial Son still as Good as in the Past

The entirety of Hua empire’s imperial palace knew the Emperor Hua Mu Tian brought back a village girl from his hunt who was deep in imperial favor, even the favored consorts in the palace cannot compare. Who in the palace didn’t know of Consort Lian who the Emperor cupped in his hands?

An San sat in the palace courtyard that Hua Mu Tian had conferred onto her. In the last few days she pretended to be unworthy of Hua Mu Tian and fearing authority making Hua Mu Tian heart ache and like her even more. Because of this, Hua Mu Tian hasn’t touched her. An San still remembered the matriarch’s words. If Hua Mu Tian really wants to ravish her, she can resist and even kill Hua Mu Tian. After heairng this, An San was very touched. In the matriarch’s heart, they were very important.

“How is it?” Hua Mu Tian sat on the dragon throne asking the guards. Though he felt San’er was very different and liked her very well, as an Emperor, how can he not have a guarded heart, so he sent out his subordinates to investigate San’er’s background?

“Answering Your Majesty! It’s all true, Consort Lian is a medicine girl in the villager. Because of a poor family, she often goes into the forest to pick herbs. That day was the day she was going to pick medicine!” The guard knelt on the floor as he gave the report.

“Hn, this one knows, you can withdraw!” Hua Mu Tian sighed in relief. Though he treated San’er very well, there was still suspicion and alertness in his heart. Now he can be completely reassured. He prepared to hold a ceremony for the conferment of title, so he can have San’er. San’er won’t reject him any longer.

“Consort Lian, his Majesty is here!” A palace maid came into the palace. This Consort Lian really had a good life. She’s only a wild woman from the mountains yet could obtain His Majesty’s favor. These days His Majesty comes over to Consort Lian’s palace every day, making the consorts in the other palaces extremely jealous.

An San rolled her eyes inside. This Hua Mu Tian would always run over to her place. Fortunately she wore the front of a pure girl so Hua Mu Tian didn’t make any moves on her but An San knew she couldn’t drag it on any longer. She must find out where Crown Prince Hua has been imprisoned.

“This civilian girl greets His Majesty!” An San greeted him ceremoniously and felt aggrieved in her heart. As shadow guards, besides showing ceremony with the master and matriarch, they didn’t need to show great ceremony with others and now she had to act as well as be on ceremony with this uncle. An San felt she’d rather kill a few more people than accept such a mission.

Hua Mu Tian hastily helped An San up, scolding her, “Why are you still calling yourself a civilian girl? Didn’t this one tell you you’re his consort? Once the conferment ceremony is done, you are this palace’s Consort Lian!”

“This civilian girl is only an orphan village girl. How am I worthy of Your Majesty’s identity as Heaven’s son? I ask Your Majesty not to make fun of this girl!” An San said melancholily and her eyes turned red, like a lonely white bunny, deliberately getting men’s pity. This was the reason why Hua Mu Tian gave her the title of Consort Lian. “Don’t speak of such things!” Hua Mu Tian scolded. Then the two admired the flowers like every day but it wasn’t long that Hua Mu Tian fell asleep deeply. An San softly called Hua Mu Tian a few times and didn’t see Hua Mu Tian waking up.

An San smirked. The drug the matriarch gave her was really great. It was a short while and this Emperor was already unconscious and wouldn’t feel anything different when he woke up. It was a medicine they as shadow guards needed to have when doing missions.

An San saw it was dark out and changed into a black stealth uniform to move around the palace. In the last few days of investigating, she’s already found a place with many guards standing guard but this place was an ordinary palace hall. Why would it need so many people standing guard? Tonight she will go take a look.

An San came to the palace hall and saw there were still many guards standing guard as well as shadow guards hidden within the shadows. If it wasn’t for her excellent martial arts, she wouldn’t notice there were so many shadow guards. An San knew she wouldn’t be able to get in by herself. At this moment, An San saw a eunuch carrying a food box come out from the palace.

When the eunuch walked out of the palace, An San suddenly covered up the eunuch’s mouth and dragged him behind a remote fake mountain and the dagger in her hand pointed at the eunuch’s neck. An San’s voice was low as she demanded, “I ask and you answer truthfully otherwise I’d let you go see Lord Yama, do you understand?”

The eunuch trembled in fear and nodded. His eyes were filled with tears. He didn’t expect to encounter an assassin in the palace and for himself to fall into the assassin’s hands.

“The palace you entered, who are you bringing the food to?” An San demanded maliciously and the dagger dug a little deeper into the eunuch’s neck as the blood slowly dripped out.

“No...” The eunuch was about to deny it but An San’s dagger stabbed him ruthlessly and muted the eunuch with a press of his acupuncture point. After a moment, she unsilenced him, “I told you to answer truthfully!”

“I confess I confess! I am bringing food for the Crown Prince. I am bringing food for the Crown Prince. All I say is the truth!” the eunuch stuttered incoherently but An San can tell he was speaking the truth. An San sliced the eunuch’s neck, killing him and flew back to her palace to change out of her outfit and sent out the news.

At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan who was carrying gazing at the stars with Lan You Nian accepted the news An Yi handed over and spared it a look, “We have found the place where Hua Xiu Yi is imprisoned. Tomorrow An San will verify it once again. The night after we’ll enter the palace!”

Lan You Nian nodded. No matter what they must save Hua Xiu Yi but time didn’t wait for people. Lan You Nian knew Yue empire has become agitated by Yue empire’s delegates being killed on the road. Even the borders have started to stir with activity. They must handle Hua empire’s matters as fast as they could.

“Inform A’Mu!” Feng Yi Xuan said. They were saving his master. Naturally they needed Hua Xiu Yi’s subordinates to take the lad. Though he came to save Hua Xiu Yi, that didn’t mean he didn’t take his subordinates’ life seriously.

On the second night, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian and several others snuck into the palace. It was all thanks to A’Mu. A’Mu was Hua Xiu Yi’s shadow guard. There was still some of Hua Xiu Yi’s forces in the palace so Feng Yi Xuan them were easily able to sneak into the palace.

Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian quietly entered Lian Palace and saw An San waiting for them. An San greeted them when she saw her master and matriarch, “Master, matriarch, Crown Prince Hua is imprisoned in the prison under that palace hall. Crown Prince Hua is chained so we need the key. That key is on Hua Mu Tian. Tonight Hua Mu Tian should be visiting the prison to see Crown Prince Hua. Do master and matriarch want to wait for Hua Mu Tian to come out?”

“No, let’s go now!” Feng Yi Xuan said. Since the key is on Hua Mu Tian, they’ll just take it from him. If they waited, how much more effort would they have to waste?

Lan You Nian nodded in confirmation. Hua Mu Tian had Hua Xiu Yi’s life on his hands. The longer they waited the more dangerous it would be for Hua Xiu Yi. Tonight was the best opportunity.

Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian and the others came over to the residence and naturally saw all the guards. Feng Yi Xuan’s finger moved and the others rushed over to entangle with the guards. When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian was about to enter the underground prison, from the shadows suddenly jumped out many shadow guards. These shadow guards had very good martial arts.

Feng Yi Xuan glanced at Nian Nian, “Nian Nian?” Feng Yi Xuan’s meaning was clear. He will hold up these shadow guards and Lan You Nian can go to save Hua Xiu Yi because Feng Yi Xuan knew there weren’t any people below. This was the best chance to save Hua Xiu Yi. These shadow guards had very good martial arts. Even for Feng YI Xuan, it will take time for him to deal with them.

“Be careful. Don’t get hurt!” Lan You Nian whispered softly and walked down the prison without looking back. Hearing Lan You Nian’s words of concern, Feng Yi Xuan’s mood brightened, even the shadow guards who wanted to kill them were more pleasing in his eyes but that didn’t mean he will show any mercy.

Lan You Nian found the entrance to the prison and gradually descended the stairs. It was no surprise she noticed several guards standing at the entrance. Lan You Nian gripped her dagger and handled the guards without a sound and walked farther in, because she can hear Hua Mu Tian’s voice. That meant Hua Xiu Yi was there too.

“Speak! Where is the jade seal?” Hua Mu Tian gripped the whip as he continuously whipped Hua Xiu Yi’s pure white skin. From the ruthlessness of his actions, one can’t tell they were father and son, but rather enemies.

“Haha...” Hua Xiu Yi laughed joyously as if he can’t feel the pain. He didn’t even look at his imperial father, “Can’t find it? You aren’t able to pass any imperial decrees? You are so useless!”

Pa! The whip once again landed on Hua Xiu Yi. Hua Mu Tian squeezed Hua Xiu Yi’s chin, saying lewdly, “Does imperial son still resent imperial father? Indeed, imperial father still remembers imperial son’s taste, even better than those consorts in Imperial father’s harem. I wonder if the grown-up imperial son is still as tasty?”

“Scram!” Hua Xiu Yi spat, staring in disgust and hatred at his imperial father. This man who was his imperial father on the surface coveted his beauty when he was very young. He not only was this man’s child, he was also a male but when he was seven years of age, his drunken imperial father....

Hua Xiu Yi will never forget the pain and humiliation and fear of that night. He didn’t have a consort mother or anyone to lean on. He was ruined by his imperial father. Afterward, he didn’t dare voice it but the seed of hatred was already buried in his heart, so he kept masking himself in order to one day kill this filthy man...

Slowly he grew up and the power in his hands grew but every night that nightmare still tormented him. He felt too dirty so his Crown Prince manor had a lot of women. Every time he felt dirty and wanted to commit suicide, he will have relations with those women to conceal his own filth. But it only made him feel dirtier. Until he met that woman. He finally felt his soul quiet down as it has been cleansed, so he fell in love with Lan You Nian. But he knew he wasn’t worthy of Lan You Nian. When he thought that woman was already safe and sound, he felt everything was worth it.

Lan You Nian was stunned as she heard Hua Mu Tian’s words. She never expected this Hua Mu Tian would be so perverted to this extent! At this moment Lan You Nian was sympathetic to Hua Xiu Yi. For a child to be treated like that by his father, it was such a cruel thing. He was a person deserving of pity.

Just as Hua Mu Tian was about to stroke Hua Xiu Yi’s body that was more alluring than a woman’s, Lan You Nian appeared behind him and knocked him out. Then she looked at Hua Xiu Yi who was tied there and was stunned.

That peerlessly handsome face, the graceful and noble air, alluring and matchless style, a temptation of licentious debauchery, plus with the blood flowing from his body, mystery and beauty were intertwined. As long as they were people, they would not be able to escape this extreme temptation. But Lan You Nian could see from those eyes a deadness and despair, like her past self.

“Hua Xiu Yi?” Lan You Nian called him and noticed the light in Hua Xiu Yi’s eyes returned. Lan You Nian found the keys fro Hua Mu Tian’s body and unlocked Hua Xiu Yi’s chains. Hua Xiu Yi fell over. Lan You Nian had to support Hua Xiu Yi as they prepared to leave.

“You heard everything..” Hua Xiu Yi said bitterly. The person he most didn’t want to know was her. He was touched that Lan You Nian came to save him but despaired that his filthy self was known by Lan You Nian.

Lan You Nian’s footsteps stopped and looked at the weak and disheveled Hua Xiu Yi, no contempt or pity, only concern for a friend in her eyes. Looking into those eyes, Hua Xiu Yi’s heart calmed.

“Hua Xiu Yi, we will always experience some painful things in our life but so what? We are still alive aren’t we?” Lan You Nian seemed to speak to Hua Xiu Yi as well as for herself.

Hua Xiu Yi laughed suddenly, his bewitching face made the entire prison brighten. He nodded in agreement, “Thanks! We are friends now?”

“En...” Lan You Nian considered it and her eyes curved, “We are now friends, otherwise do you think we come here to save you out of boredom?”

Hua Xiu Yi wanted to say something but was suddenly yanked by another person. Hua Xiu Yi saw the black-faced Feng Yi Xuan supporting his body, appearing completely reluctant. Hua Xiu Yi understood this man was jealous.

Feng Yi Xuan naturally didn’t want to support this man. He was a clean freak but when he saw Nian Nian support Hua Xiu Yi, he felt extremely displeased. Yet he knew Hua Xiu Yi’s body wasn’t very good at the moment so he suppressed the desire to kill and helped hold him up and held Nian Nian’s hand with the other.

“What a surprise that this crown prince’s enemy came to save him!” Hua Xiu Yi sighed with feeling. He once considered Feng Yi Xuan his opponent but now the two were like friends, though they were friends they still didn’t like the other.

“If it wasn’t because you once saved Nian Nian, this prince wouldn’t come save you!” Feng Yi Xuan pushed Hua Xiu Yi to A’Mu who just arrived and looked in disdain at the hand that touched Hua Xiu Yi.

“This crown prince doesn’t care for you to save me...” Hua Xiu Yi refuted.

Seeing as the guards have been pretty much dealt with, they departed from the imperial palace...
