Lu Xiang, who was combing his hair while glazed over, saw a shadow enter his room, the man approached Lu Xiang and then took a comb in Lu Xiang's hand and combed Lu Xiang's hair.
He saw the reflection of his face in the bronze mirror "Our plan to kill Jiang failed" said the man, Lu Xiang still looking at himself and the woman in the bronze mirror.
" I've never heard of you failing in making plans" Lu Xiang said, breathing a sigh of relief, The man saw Lu Xiang take a breath.
" Are you glad we failed?" asked the person still combing Lu Xiang's hair. Lu Xiang did not reply, he was silent .
" He was helped by three men, I don't know who they mean" the man continued.
" Wei Chan and Lan Huan are in the palace, Dao-Dao and Zhao An are also in the palace, only Zhang Han does not know where he is, even if Zhang Han is with Jiang, then who the other two men are" lu Xiang asked, he began to think who was with Jiang Now.
" I can't be sure of that, but we'll find out soon" replied the man,
The man stopped combing Lu Xiang's hair, he then brought his face closer to Lu Xiang's. " You look at our faces, we've come this far, there will be no way back Lu Xiang, never think of changing our goals, I know your heart and you know my heart." said the man, then he stood away from Lu Xiang and turned his back.
Lu Xiang then stood facing the person who was standing behind him. " Don't forget, you were able to stand up until now because of me" said the person, Lu Xiang felt claustrophobic as he recalled the past.
Lu Xiang used to love the man named Zhao Yu, Zhao An's older brother, but the whole family was destroyed except for Zhao An, he felt very sad at that moment, he was very sad at that time, then he heard the news again that he would soon be taken to the palace to become Zhang Han's concubine, he was very angry, hateful and vengeful at that time. How not? the man who has destroyed his beloved is the son of the man who soon becomes his husband.
Lu Xiang could no longer live when he heard the news, he ran to kill himself, but before Jiang fell down someone had already caught his hand, Jiang tried to let go of his hand but the person's hand was strong, Lu Xiang could not stand up, so he only resigned as the person pulled himself up.
Lu Xiang cried sobbing, the man then hugged himself." Why did you help me, why not let me die, it's better than I have to marry the man who killed my lover." she said.
" Why should you waste your life like this? just like you, my entire clan was wiped out with nothing left and I fled. You have to be strong, if we live then why not try to take revenge" said the man.
" Revenge? how can I not have the strength to avenge myself on the royal family" Lu Xiang replied.
" With you being the crown prince's concubine you must be able to win his trust, so that he does not doubt you at all, once he has mastered everything we will launch our plans one by one." replied the man.
" You're right, I have to avenge my heartache on the royal family, with me being a part of them I can break it from the inside, they have to feel the pain I feel now." Jiang clenched his hand, promising to take revenge through Zhang Han. Within 3 months he was practicing martial arts and deep power through that person, every day the vengeful Lu Xiang practiced nonstop until the time he was taken to the palace.
No days without practicing, Lu Xiang strengthened her martial arts, she became the number one woman in martial arts in the Qing kingdom and Zhang Han was happy to hear about it. When he used to fight with Jiang he deliberately relented to measure Jiang's strength and he was surprised by it because his agility without learning and his body was not yet strong but the movements Jiang released were different.
Lu Xiang had heard that Jiang was a future empress candidate but that was just a name. Slowly but surely the intelligent Lu Xiang gained Zhang Han's trust even though he couldn't get his heart because Zhang Han wasn't easily attracted to women, not everyone knew that Zhang Han was a cold person to women.
Of course the bloody events that Lu Xiang took justice to in the plan, when entering the palace Lu Xiang always communicated with that person through secret letters, all the plans that Lu Xiang had made were aided by that person, until he learned that Zhang Luhan and Zhang Ruyue were two people who could not be together and Zhang Luhan's ambition of wanting to be king made Lu Xiang pull them together to unite against Zhang Han.
After a few years after Zhang Han became king, in order to expand the territory and gain support from the influential people in the kingdom, the person who always helped Lu Xiang was chosen, too, all of that facilitated their plan to tear down Zhang Han's power.
" I hope you don't forget all of our struggles Lu Xiang" said the person, Lu Xiang who was daydreaming considering the past came to a conscious hearing of the person's words. it was indeed a very big struggle for Lu Xiang to rise up until now, not a little insult and ridicule that he had obtained to be able to stand up until now. Again it was Zhang Han who had always protected him from all other people's insults, that person always helped Lu Xiang whenever he fell.
" I've never forgotten all that struggle, it's just that..." Lu Xiang was unable to finish his words.
" have you heard the old saying? If you can't afford it, there's only an excuse. There is no turning back for people like us Lu Xiang" the person said.
" I know, but gradually my original goal changed direction" Lu Xiang replied.
" I've said never to fall in love again, because love only brings destruction, and you've felt it." cried the man angry.
" You're cruel to your own heart, but I'm not, I can be cruel to myself but not my heart, I don't have the ability to see my loved ones die in front of my eyes." reply Lu Xiang who was no less loud shouted furiously.
" Love is blind Lu Xiang, you will forget everything just because of love until you will perish because of love, love is poison of the heart, never experience it a second time." the man's eyes glazed over and held tight his chest, he had loved someone but out of spite he rejected the man even though he had so longed for it.
" I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my cause, even my heart will cut itself for my purpose" he continued.
" I hope you won't regret it." Lu Xiang replied, he knew nothing about the woman, they were both like two bodies but one heart, they both couldn't hide any secrets between them. That person then left Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang took a breath.
" I don't know what I'm doing right now right or wrong, but I can't go back." Lu Xiang muttered to himself, he then headed to the guide to sleep. for some time he could not sleep.
