Conspiracy II

"Miss Luo, I still don't understand why the Emperor wants the First Princess to marry Huang Zi Feng? Huang Zi Feng would have been the one to inherit the sacred tree had he made it to the inner tomb. The Emperor would also have given Huang Zi Feng a princely status had he succeeded. Also, how would the Emperor benefit from Huang Zi Feng's win?" General Fu was too stressed to understand.

At Zhao Li Xin's command, Mong Yi prepared a carpet and a small table for General Fu and Lory to talk properly. Zhao Li Xin and the others also sat around the table, while Mong Yi prepared wine for everyone.

General Fu's hand trembled as he lifted the cup to his lips. He gulped all the wine in one breath. Lory could understand his desperation as she would have fainted on the spot if this had happened in her Kingdom.
