Chapter 95 Apologizing 9

"That's why the slave trade grew so big," said Wang Ping.

"Yes. There is also another reason why there are more slave traders are in the area," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Why?" said Wang Ping. Wang Pin was thinking for an answer. He then remembers telling Lin Yu Yan about the mysterious people his father has been meeting.

"No… My father wouldn't!" he said out loud. 'He's selling the people just so he can keep his luxurious life? That's madness!"

"He's selling the citizens of Wang," answered Han Bingwen. "Since the people has no more money to give to the Emperor, the only thing left are the people themselves. He is selling them to slave traders to get money…"

"Right," said Lin Yu Yan.

"But why would Li Muqiu want to kill you though?" said Bingwen.

"I believe she hates my mother and now hates me and wants me dead," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Wang Ping is targeted because he was suppose to die 3 months when he was poisoned. It was to help her son to be the crown prince and for her to be the imperial Queen. From the information I have received from Wu Lang and Luo Bojing, most of the Elders of the so call Council, wanted the Imperial Concubine to be the Empress of Wang since her son is the crown prince. But… The Emperor doesn't want too and I don't know why," added Lin Yu Yan.

"I think I know... " said Wang Ping trying to think how to word his memory.

"I remember the fight between your father and my father, Lin Yu Yan. I wanted to talk to my father about my birthday but I as I was walking towards his room, I can hear my father and your father talking very seriously… and I remembered him saying something about Li Muqiu killing someone named...Lin Feng or something…. and your father leaving the room ferociously…" said Wang Ping.

Lin Yu yan thought of a familiar name, "Lin Feng Shu…"

"Ah that's the name!" said Wang Ping, shouting

"She's my mother," said Lin Yu Yan. 'Wait…. That means…'

"Where am I…?" said a weak tired voice.

Teo Wing has woken up. She woke up and remembered the last thing she saw was Wang Ping and the little white haired boy was with her.

"Ah, where's the 3rd prince!?" she jumped up and notice the change of scenery and to have the 3rd prince's face right in front of her.

"Your okay!" said the relived Teo Wing. "Where are we…?" she turn to look at the scenery and notice Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen was next to Wang Ping.

"Ah! The unknown beauty!" said Teo Wing, surprised to see them with her. She got down from Wang Ping and ran up to Lin Yu Yan and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that to you!" she was wanting to hold in her tears but wasn't able to. She covered her face so Wang Ping wouldn't see her ugly sad face.

Lin Yu Yan was waiting for Teo Wing to talk but she couldn't because Wang Ping was around. Teo Wing didn't want him to think of her as an evil lady.

"Guys, I want to talk to her alone. Can you leave us for a few minutes?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

Han Bingwen and Wang Ping nods and leaves the area.

"I'm sorry!" said Teo Wing apologizing again and bowing down low. "I… I was jealous of you because I'm in love with the 3rd prince and jealous that you are close to him… I.. I don't know what got to me but I… sincerely apologize for what I have done. I believed Lu Tian Tian's words and... "

She was getting quieter and spoke softly. "I-I was wondering if we can become friends. I know what I did was wrong and any excuse would be pointless but… I still hope you can be friends with me!"

Lin Yu Yan was surprised. Honestly, Lin Yu Yan would have never thought she would want to be friends with her. Lin Yu Yan can hear the honesty in Teo Wing's voice and the innocence in her eyes. Lin Yu yan was pretty angry and wished to never see her again but she just sighed and said, "We could be friends."
