LOVE AND BETRAYAL
FAN JIANYING'S REAL IDENTITY

Just before Bai Cheung and Fan Jianying left for the palace, a letter from Bai Hongli arrived at Bai's residence.

In the letter Bai Hongli said that he would use all the services obtained by the Bai family to ask for forgiveness to the emperor if his family was associated with the problems that afflicted Bai Wang.

Bai Hongli thought that the despicable actions taken by Bai Wang were the personal fault of his second son.

It does not involve his extended family. This can be proven by maintaining security in various regions in Huangshan state under his supervision or his first son, Bai Axiang.

Even his youngest son Bai Cheung also managed to quell the rebels and eradicate mutated animals in the eastern border region of Huangshan country.

And that according to Bai Hongli can be used as a consideration for emperor Huang in making decisions later on related to the problem.

“ Turns out, your father is one thought with you..”, said matriarch Bai a little relieved.

With a fluffy smile, Matriarch Bai ushered in the departure of her granddaughter with a high sense of optimism.

The letter sent by Bai Hongli made everyone feel calm. During this time the Bai family had always been loyal and had a high contribution to the country.

So they need not be afraid to face any obstacles that come in front of them.

After a journey of about ten minutes, the palace gate had begun to be seen in plain sight.

Fan Jianying clasped her husband's cold hands while smiling sweetly and said “ Believe me, all will be well – fine...”.

The word – said Fan Jianying instantly made Bai Cheung's heart warm. He started smiling and hugged his wife tightly.

“ Thank you for everything, Fan'er..”, Bai Cheung said as she gently kissed his wife's forehead.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the two immediately got out from inside the horse carriage. The eunuchs who were waiting for their arrival immediately led the two towards the residence of emperor Huang.

Although he had entered the palace to meet with Empress Wei some time ago.

But Fan Jianying was still unable to dispel her sense of admiration for the beauty present within the palace.

Fan Jianying's footsteps came to a halt as she passed the bridge where there was a beautiful small river. In addition there are many ornamental fish there, lotus flowers look to thrive along the flow of the artificial small river.

Bai Cheung's steps came to a halt for a moment and looked where the wife's eyes were headed. After knowing what his wife wanted, Bai Cheungpun started to approach and whisper.

“ I will make a beautiful little river like this one a residence for you..”, whispered Bai Cheung with a smile.

Fan Jianying's eyes immediately sparkled brightly when she heard her husband's words.

She was seen several times stealing glances towards her husband while thinking “ Since when did she become sensitized like that..”.

Such an understanding Bai Cheung's attitude made Fan Jianying feel happy. Not only more attentive, her husband was now more sensitive to his surroundings, especially her.

This change in Bai Cheung's attitude felt Fan Jianying was quite good. Not just for him, but for the entire Bai family as well.

Sometimes Fan Jianying thought, if her husband could read her mind so that he could know what was on his mind at the moment.

Seeing the cheerful smile on his wife's face, Bai Cheung felt extremely happy. In this life, he will try to forget his revenge and start looking for his own happiness.

Holding tightly his wife's hand, Bai Cheung stepped into the courtyard of the emperor Huang's residence until the eunuch announced the arrival of the two loudly.

Once inside, the two immediately gave a respectful greeting to emperor Huang politely. And also to Queen Qilin who just happened to be there.

From the corner of his eyes could Fan Jianying see, Emperor Huang stood upright in a golden-coloured oversized outfit.

Although he was already more than half a century old, the Huang emperor had not lost his dashing and dignified figure at all.

His black eyes were so deep and unreadable. The calm attitude he showed made the person in front of him would immediately have an attitude of respect without being asked.

Right beside the emperor, Fan Jianying could see the beautiful woman wearing an elaborate green dress and looking around forty years old.

The woman had a tall and slim figure. His clothes were tied just below his chest to press him, making him look seductive.

Can Fan Jianying feel if the middle-aged beautiful woman exudes an aura full of pride and strength with a sharp look as if intimidating his interlocutor.

Her face was full of makeup with seductive red lips. His eyes glanced like a magnet that was able to attract the opposite sex to approach but was unable to reach him.

This was the most powerful woman within the imperial palace at the moment, who else if not Queen Qinly.

The cat-like shape of his eyes glanced at Fan Jianying and Bai Cheung from the corner of his eyes in turn.

Like a ferocious beast that wanted to pounce on its prey right now as well as once they were off guard.

Although beautiful, but Fan Jianying still felt that empress Wei deserved to be first lady because of the graceful and wise attitude that the prince's mother Wei Jie had.

As well as the aura of motherhood that emanated made anyone who faced him would feel comfortable and reluctant towards him.

Fan Jianying's daydream caved in as soon as there was a heavy sound that resounded loudly in her eardrums.

Everyone can see Queen Qinly was unhappy with the treatment of her husband who was thought to have kicked her out of the room.

Seeing her husband's threatening gaze, Queen Qinly who was about to protest finally undoed her intentions and walked quickly away from the room.

“ I can walk alone...”, Queen Qinly said as the eunuch pointed the way before her.

But before he left, he briefly sent a murderous gaze to Bai Cheung and Fan Jianying.

The flames of anger were clearly blazing in the eyes of Queen Qinly. He had not expected that all the plans he had drawn up long ago could be shattered by Bai Cheung in such a short period of time.

Once outside the emperor's residence, Queen Qinly paused for a moment and before long a black figure appeared crouching beside her in a respectful manner.

“ Find information about Bai Cheung's arrival to the palace...”, Queen Qinly's orders are firm.

The shadow troops belonging to Queen Qinly immediately darted away to steal the conversation between emperor Huang and his guest.

After the departure of Queen Qinly, Bai Cheung and his wife immediately sat down the seat that had been reserved for them.

When emperor Huang saw Fan Jianying's face, there was a glimpse of deep longing from the look in his eyes that initially looked very calm.

However, one second later his face again turned flat and calm like the beginning. As if – if nothing that just looks just an illusion.

Although only briefly, but the change in expression of emperor Huang can be seen Fan Jianying and Bai Cheung.

Shortly thereafter the eunuch informed her that Empress Wei, fourth prince Wei Jie and princess Wei Xieun had entered the room.

Empress Wei could not hide the deep-seated glow of longing for her daughter.

But all that she tried to hold until her own husband explained to the girl about her identity.

Fan Jianying and Bai Cheung could only look at the stern look on their faces “ Why were they also called here, what is this?.”.

After empress Wei and her two children sat down, Bai Cheung and Fan Jianying immediately stood up and saluted everyone.

After the lunch was over, Kaisr Huang immediately said the essence of his purpose was calling the two to come to the palace.

Rrrr……

Like lightning, Fan Jianying was shocked to learn that she was the youngest child of Empress Wei, whose real name was Wei Fei.

Although very surprised but Fan Jianying could still control the look of his face to stay calm.

Not only was Fan Jianying and her husband shocked by the fact, Wei Xieun's daughter was also greatly shocked by the fact.

He did not think at all if the girl he had been in the middle of his life was his biological sister who had been rumored to have died after being born.

But now that he had only understood, why was his mother so considerate of Fan Jianying.

Even Empress Wei fell ill when she heard that Fan Jianying was suffering from the same illness as the late Queen Shua.

Everyone was seen watching Fan Jianying with mixed feelings as the girl's face still remained flat, expressionless.

Although the look in her eyes was a shock when she heard that she was the biological daughter of emperor Huang and empress Wei.

But it was only for a moment and his face returned flat as ever. Emperor Huang was seen taking a deep breath before returning to his voice.

“ Fan’er, come with me for a while.”, said kasiar Huang began to move from his seat.

Fan Jianying obediently followed emperor Huang from behind without taking a word out of his mouth.

Fan Jianying's silence was not because she was shocked at what she had just heard but rather what the hidden intent of Emperor Huang's words was to reveal her identity now.

If he wanted to protect his safety, he wouldn't have to hide it for the rest of his life.

Moreover, the current state of the palace is arguably in a precarious state, although not many realize it.

“ Your curiosity will soon be answered soon..be patient..”, said the emperor Huang without stopping his footsteps and continue to walk into the room that increasingly feels darker.

Even so, Fan Jianying was not afraid and continued to follow him from behind until he arrived at a minimal lighting room with a stone wall having a very large circular dragon image.

“ Long Wang...”, Fan Jianying's grunts are a little hesitant.

Sreekkk…

Arrived – arrived the wall shifted and displayed a fairly large room in front of him. Without wasting any time, emperor Huang immediately invited Fan Jianying into the room.

“ True – correct the chosen one..”, said emperor Huang chuckled.

As soon as the two entered, the door was immediately closed and the circular dragon image was immediately lost and left only a stone wall without gaps so that no one would realize if behind the wall there was a secret room.
