Chapter 115 - Conspiracy

Jin Hao takes out his rope he threw his rope to ceiling after he make sure the rope is secure he used his Gin Qong to leap outside, he only needs two times jolted the rope before he climb safely to the top, Mong Ki ad mog Yi also threw their Ropes while Bei Li Yan used his whip to entwine with Jin Hao ropes then he pull himself to the top.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin carry Lory like five years old toddler again, he didn't need ropes he accumulated his power to his leg with one strikes he leaps in high speed to the top while carry Lory in his arms, in a second Lory already find herself safe and sound at the outside of the tomb.

The soldiers and general Fu painstakingly try to get out using the rope but they not as skillful as Zhao Li Xin and his subordinated need more time to get out but thankfully they all save before the tomb eventually collapse. There's nothing left inside the crater the big hall who was there a minuted before was covered in black soil, Miss Luo Ri Yi is right if they used the road they had previously been on they won't make it alive, once again they owed her again.

But General Fu feel conflicted, his mission is to bring the sacred tree out and protect the Princess but now the princess is hurt and the tree is gone how could he explained this to the Emperor, he can't blame Zhao Li Xin, after witnessing his power there's no way he able to fight with him no one in the country could win against him and with Hei Shen sect power, Zhao Li Xin has no problem to make war with the Liangzu Kingdom.

"Do you know the previous Emperor Liangzu?" Lory suddenly asked him.

General Fu still on a dazed but he answers her politely "I am, I was fortunate to fight side by side by his majesty"

"Do you know why he died?" Lory asked him again.

General Fu frowned "The emperor heavily ill, at that time no one can't cure him, why is Miss Luo asking me this?"

Lory pursed her lips "Do you believe it?"

General Fu hears about the rumor of conspiracy to take down the previous Emperor lead by the current emperor after one by one descendant of previous emperor especially male have mysterious death or accident but after the previous Emperor died he took the last Princess of the previous Emperor and raised her as his own.

The real identity of the first princess only known by few of first rank official including him as the Emperor confidant and close friend, after the previous Emperor died he tried to investigate the rumor for years but when he saw how much the current Emperor pamper the first prince his suspicion to the current Emperor disappear, he stop investigating him ever since.

"Miss Luo….what…" the suspicion rose inside his heart but how could Luo Ri Yi who is an outsider knew something he doesn't know.

"Brother Mong Ki can you knocked out the young masters?" she whispers, Mong Ki nodded his head in less than a minute the three noble young masters who also Ming Ru Yi fanboy knocked out on the ground, no one has time to react they don't even know when Mong ki moves behind them, the soldiers just realize how much different their power compare with Mong Ki.

"Can I see the map that the third princess carry?" Lory ignores General Fu's shocking face "I'll explain everything to you later, I promised!" her unwavering gaze sways General Fu heart, he took the map from Ming Ru Yi sleeve then he giving it to Lory.

Lory accepts the map "Li Xin can you open the map beside me?"

Zhao Li Xin smile faintly, he takes out the map and opens it beside her then Lory compares the map side by side, Zhao Li Xin frowned he understand why Lory wants to compare the two maps, she signs General Fu to examined the maps together.

"You see General, the map on your possession is less detail then my map, your map didn't explain about the shortcut and traps inside the sacred tomb," said Lory.

"Maybe the Huang Sibling have a better map then the third princess" General Fu replied.

"No, it's coming from the same source, look on the corner, both maps have the same stamp"

General Fu is utterly shocked, how could this happen both maps have a royal stamp but why both of them different, what this is all about? General Fu didn't understand, why anyone wants to harm the third Princess.

"Why anyone wants to hurt the third princess?" General Fu baffled.

"It's not her, it's you!" Lory said calmly, General Fu and the others stunned they can't believe what Lory had said, it does not make sense someone wants to kill General Fu.

"No, that can't be true! Why anyone wants to kill General Fu, he is a great Hero who protecting the previous Emperor, he respected by citizen and all the officials, the General had no flaw why anyone in a Kingdom wants to hurt him!" one of the soldiers refused to believe what Lory had said.

"Yes, no one in our kingdom would hurt General Fu, you are outsider how could we believe you!" other soldiers shouted angrily.

"She must be the spy!!" another soldier vent his dissatisfaction to Lory.

"And you must be want to DIE?" Zhao Li Xin said casually while Mong Ki and Mong Yi glare at the soldiers, not just Zhao Li Xin, the Mong's brother also furious, they have known Lory for quite some time and grew fond with her.

The soldiers forgot the' Demon Lord' who can burn them to ashes with the flick of his finger, his dark cold eyes stare right through their bones, he had no qualms to kill them all he doesn't even bat his eyes when he hurt Ming Ru Yi so why must he bother to kill an insects like them.

The soldiers immediately shout their mouth they did not even dare to look at Zhao Li Xin and other soldiers who are not involved glare at the soldiers who talk carelessly, if they want to die don't implicate them, who stupid enough provoked that 'Demon Lord' woman in front of his face!

"SHUT UP!!" General Fu berated his soldiers "Who told you to meddle in when your superior talking!!" the politic in the royal palace is messy and complicated how could his illiterate soldiers understand.

"It's because all that reason, they want to kill you" Lory said calmly, she pays no heed with the other soldiers said on a contrary she has all her sympathy for general Fu, he is straightforward, honest and loyal General it would be a great loss for the Liangzu Kingdom to lose someone like him.

"But your loyalty is not for the current Emperor, your heart remains to the previous Emperor and now to the first princess, am I right General?"

"You knew? But how?" General Fu's eyes widened, for an outsider knew this information is mind-blowing.

"Ri Yi, what's wrong with the first princess?" Zhao Li Xin also got curious.

Lory take a deep breath then she continues "The first princess, is the daughter of previous Emperor she is taken custody by the currents emperor when she's only one month old, he is the last descendants of previous Emperor"

General Fu face become pale how could an outsider knew about this detail is she really a spy, Lory then continue again "You all may ask why the current Emperor keep his Brother daughter and taken her as his own, it's certainly not because of love, but because she is the only one who can inherit the heritance from the sacred tree"

"What do you mean?" General Fu confused even more.

"The current Emperor, is not the descendant of Emperor Liangzu".... the bomb is dropped no one is speaking, Bei Li Yan is flabbergasted with the news because he doesn't know any of it and it is his jobs to knows everything in Royal palace especially something this BIG!! Bei Li Yan starts to question his capability as a vermillion King's palace.

"The current Emperor is born because of the previous Royal Consort Ping with Prime Minister Guan Zong Ge" another bomb was dropped and everyone becomes speechless, how the heck she knew about this!!

"How could you knew about this?" General Fu leg becomes numb he barely can withstand himself, thankfully one of his closed subordinated help him.

"It's the First princess who tells me about it" said Lory, Zhao Li Xin frowned since when Lory knew any Princess, his been stalk...he means watching her closely and she never goes anywhere without his notice and his Manor is highly protected not like Lao manor no one can get in and get outside without alert his shadow guard, so when she makes acquaintances.

"You first princess friend?" General Fu surprised how First Princess who is never taking a step away from her courtyard makes friends, and this woman also Long Ming woman, it's all mindboggling for him.

"The story starts when the Emperor wants to marry her with Huang Zi Feng, the Emperor knew he could never accept the heritance of the sacred tree because he is not the right heir so he keeps the Princess as the last descendant of previous Kings for that purpose only and to do that he needs Heaven Jade Pavilion support because they have secret art called Flower…..dance…I think" Lory squint her eyes she tries to remember the name of it.

"Dance of wildflower" Zhao Li Xin said with disdain.

"Milord isn't that transferring one cultivation to other through coitus, it's a taboo because the gruesome of the outcome" Bei Li Yan also hated this type of cultivation, it's shameless, degrading and inhuman practice, the one who was had their cultivation suck to dry died the victim corpses were mummified, Bei Li Yan had witness once the man and woman who become the victim of this horrendous practice, he surprised heavenly jade pavilion knew about this evil practice.
