Sister, I advise you to lose those thoughts about that Phoenix Lord. He doesnt have you in his eyes. This was the first time Hong Ming Yue had to face such indignation. However, shes not her foolish sister Hong Yu Ying and could think things through along the way.

Theres no way someone like the Phoenix Lord wouldnt care about their own image in front of the public, considering their status and all. As such, there can only be one reason for the boys behavior today and that was for the woman in his heart.

If shes not wrong, the person should be that Lan Ling Yue.

Ming Yue, when it comes to martial cultivation, you are indeed better than me. However, when were talking about feelings between man and woman, I can say you dont know much. Comparing me to that bitch, which part of me is losing out to her? Dissatisfied with her younger sisters attitude, Hong Yu Ying directly fires back.

Honestly, I do think you are inferior to her. Indifferent in her tone, Hong Ming Yue tells the truth.

Mother, can you talk some sense into Ming Yue? Im her elder sister, how can she be siding with some outsider in a time like this. Now the big girl was truly annoyed.

Hong Ming Yue wasnt blind. When placed together, she can already see her elder sister had lost in terms of appearance. This was on top of the fact that her conclusion was based on excluding the two girls temperament. If she had included that part in her judgement, there were no questions asked, its her sisters loss.

Mother, youd better advise her to stay away. Im saying this now, that Phoenix Lord is no ordinary person. If sister here keeps being obsessed with that man, she will eventually come to regret it. Although in Hong Ming Yues view Feng Shen was nothing more than a frail looking boy, but something wasnt right when she approached him. Its like she was dunked into a bath of ice water back there.

Despite the goodwill, theres no way Hong Yu Ying will take it to heart. As such, Hong Ming Yue eventually decides to return to the Three Life Valley after losing all interest from the fight.

Meanwhile on the other end, Ling Yue was currently insider her pocket dimension. After having an unhappy encounter with her so called half-siblings at the Phoenix Cry, shes been busy at work raising the Cloud Silkworms.

As per her expectation, the worms were thriving under the nourishment of the Red Mist Sky because it didnt even take a day, only one night, for the larvae to hatch. As the lazy looking worms crunched away at the leaves on the trees, she can already see all the money flying into her eyes.

Happy over the smoothness of it all, Ling Yue went ahead and returned to the outside world. Thats when a messenger crane flew over and lands on her hand.

Seeing its from Madam Lai, she immediately sent her spirit force inside to activate the message, Theres movement, quickly come over.

Considering how rushed the voice sounded, its quite clear it was done in a hurry. Not wanting to miss this long awaited opportunity, Ling Yue immediately disguised herself as Red Thirteen and headed over to the Green Moon Brothel where her people are waiting.

During this period after Madam Lai infiltrated the establishment, the Ghost Sects been secretly developing their forces inside this place. As such, this Green Moon Brothel was now all but in name Ling Yues property.

Sect Leader, Vice-Sect Leader Wulei (Madam Lai) is up ahead inside the VIP room. Shes currently serving the customers inside.

After being informed by her people, Ling Yue went ahead and entered the room next to the one indicated. She was hoping this would allow her to eavesdrop in on their conversation, but it was dead silent, clearly the work of a silence spell.

Just like that, with a cup of wine in hand, Ling Yue waited for over an hour before the door to the next room was opened again.

First to come out was Crown Prince Xia Hou Hong and Hong Fang. Then next to them was another covered in a large cloak, likely a guest of theirs.

Oddly though, when the third individual stepped through the doorway, this person actually tripped and staggered forward.

Careful there, Hong Fang wanted to reach out and help when he was cut off by a loud hollar.

Dont touch me! The unknown person angrily orders.

Though Ling Yue still cant get a good look at whoever was underneath that big cloak, she did prick her brow at the voice because its clearly that of Lady Yaos. Someone who hasnt shown her face for quite some time now.

What is she doing here of all places?

After sending away the customers, Wulei (Madam Lai) immediately rushed over to Ling Yues room. Sect Leader, Yang Qing (Sha Sect) and the others seem to have something big planned for tomorrow. Unfortunately, when that woman wearing the cloak entered the room, she wouldnt allow me to stay. In the end, I could only catch some bits and pieces of what they were talking about. I believe its noon the palace something ominous and the generals home.

Ever since Lady Yao was severely injured by the mysterious voice inside Ling Yues body, the womans been extremely temperamental in her personality.

For example, on one occasion when the king visited her place and praised one of the serving maids to have beautiful eyes, this vicious woman immediately ordered the maids eye to be ripped out the very same night.

Such cruelty was so frightening that it even turned off the king. If not for the Brilliant Star Astrolabe in Lady Yaos possession, the man couldnt even be bothered anymore with her.

That woman is Lady Yao from the palace. It seems that Prince Hou Hong and Hong Fang are colluding together with her. Apparently discrediting my name isnt enough for them, now they are planning something else. Ling Yue starts musing over the possibilities of the new information.

Though she dont know what those people are planning, but one thing was certain, she cant sit idle and wait around.

Meanwhile back at the palace, the king had just received a new message.

Your Majesty, its my fault for not being careful enough that weve lost our child. I had intended to wait until the baby is stable before informing you, but. I deserve to be punished. Swollen in her eyes from all the weeping, Consort Luo looked so pitiful right now with that face.

My love, this matter cannot be blamed on you. The king had only just been informed of this horrible news. According to Alchemist Chous wording, Consort Luo had a miscarriage this morning due to a careless fall, thus losing the two month old child in her belly.

His mood was low to begin with after the queens supposed miscarriage, but now he learns his other wife had also faced a miscarriage. Thats two in this short period!

The king himself was already drawing close to forty years old. Normally a ruler would be blessed with many children considering how many women was at his disposal at night. However, he only had four daughters and two sons to his name.

Its not like the man didnt try to conceive more children. There were other princes before this, but all of them had passed away at a very young age.

As a result of this, the king was very irritable lately.

Your Majesty, theres something I dont know if I should say. Seeing the big frown on the kings face, Alchemist Chou starts enacting his part of the plan.

Say it if theres something, why are you being so hesitant. The kings tone sounded very impatient here.

Aside from medicinal skills and alchemy, I also know something about physiognomy. Your Majesty, when I see your forehead and the glimpse of blood in your eyes, I can tell its a sign of misfortune. I can say its very likely that in the near future, likely in the coming day, something unfavorable will befall your body. Careful in his words, Alchemist Chou nervously throws this out for fear of being imprisoned.

How dare you Alchemist Chou! What you are implying is no different from cursing me. The kings been feeling very bad lately. To hear the old man say something so ominous out of the blue, it only fouled his mood even further. Heck, part of him even wanted to have this old master beheaded on the spot.

My king, please quell your anger. I only wish for your wellbeing that Im willing to risk death in my bluntness. Like a hammer, Alchemist Chou starts knocking his head against the floor like a ringing gong.

Your Majesty, hes only speaking whats on his mind, theres no ill will in his words. When it comes to these matters, its best to believe than not to believe. Lets do this, why dont we seek out Lady Yao so she can use the Brilliant Star Astrolabe. This way we can be certain if theres any impending danger. With a worried face, Consort Luo also chimes here to help her partner.
