"Fang Xi, that man is still alive. And so is his daughter!" exclaimed Han Ze Xuan with a serious face.
"really? They still alive?" han Ze Ti asked to confirm his hearing.
Han Ze Xuan nodded, "I really hope, father doesn't make things difficult for them anymore. Please return the post of General Yang and restore his good name. He is a good and loyal man."
"I understand!" sahut the man.
Han Ze Xuan then parted and walked out of the library room. He was a little suspicious of the Emperor even though he was his real father.
"Dad must have had another reason, there was no way he would do that without considering the death of Yang Fang Xi. Or the... Don't let that be what my father wants. He, wants to kill and eliminate two big families!" inner Han Ze Xuan.
The man stopped stepping, he turned back, staring at the library door with a sharp gaze. "If what I think is indeed true, then General Yang and Qing Xia will be in danger!" inner Han Ze Xuan.
The next morning, word spread that Yang Fang Xi was acquitted of treason charges. The man's office and title were restored and raised 1 level as a redemption for the Emperor's guilt.
In addition, Yang Fang Xi and his daughter were also declared to be alive. Yang's residence was returned to Yang Fang Xi, all the seals were released by the authorized soldiers and the confiscated property was also returned to him.
Yang Fang Xi was delighted to hear the news, he was asked to face the Emperor in order to receive his post back.
Qing Xia was also happy and happy because he had managed to restore his father's good name.
During the day, on the same day. A shocking news came from Fang's residence. The luxurious and large residence located in the middle of Han city had become ashes. Bodies were scattered in the residence, in a state of scorching and appalling.
Qing Xia changed her clothes, she wore male clothes to disguise herself. After fixing her hairdo, Qing Xia came out to investigate and saw the destruction of the Fang family.
Hundreds of people gathered in front of Fang's residence, many laughing at the Fang family's destruction that had already tormented the people.
Several people were seen cursing and thanking the fire that occurred at Fang's residence. Some even prostrated themselves and thanked the heavens for punishing the cruel family.
Qing Xia stood among the crowd of people who were in front of Fang's residence. The originally extremely beautiful and majestic place was now shattered into black rubble with corpses strewn everywhere.
Qing Xia put up an ear, hearing the information from the conversation among the people standing nearby.
"Do you know what's going on? Why would Fang's residence be burned to the ground without any commotion?"
"So, that's a little suspicious."
"Could anyone have deliberately set this residence on fire?"
"Isn't it strange that no one screams and tries to put out a fire in the event of a major fire?"
Qing Xia also felt astonished and curious. "Why did the fire spread to the entire residence? No room is complete without a fire. What the hell is going on here? Who is the person who wants to destroy the Fang family besides me?" thought Qing Xia.
As he was busy thinking about the various questions inside his head, the figure of a man caught Qing Xia's attention. The man stared intently at the rubble of Fang's residence while smiling with his sly-looking face.
Seeing the man move away, Qing Xia immediately ran following silently. He kept tailing in the back until the man turned into a narrow street. When it turned, Qing Xia lost track of the person she was following.
"Who are you? Why follow me?" the man asked, he appeared suddenly from behind with a dagger pointed at Qing Xia's neck.
"Don't try to fight. You better tell me, what do you want?! Why are you following me?" ask the man again.
"I saw you in front of Fang's residence. Did you do it?" qing Xia asked as he waited for an opportunity to break away.
"That's none of your business! Go and don't follow me anymore!" said the man then lowered his knife.
Qing Xia immediately turned around, yet the man had already disappeared without a trace.
"Who is that guy?" qing Xia asked in his mind.
Cold Palace
A woman sits on a chair that looks worn out with some cracks in the legs of the chair. The woman held a winged dragon-shaped jade pendant with a red pearl as the eyes of a dragon.
"I've been his wife for 15 years, never once did I think of harming or betraying. But, just one word from a foreign woman, she directly threw me into this place. Is this what you call true love?" said the woman with teary eyes.
After a moment of silence with tears flowing, the woman's room was entered by a man in black. The man that Qing Xia had followed.
"Mother!" call her while patting the shoulder of the sitting woman quietly.
"Ze Hao, is that you?" ask the woman without turning around.
The man named Ze Hao then walked up and sat down in front of his mother.
"Don't cry, crying is completely useless!" ze Hao said while wiping away his mother's tears.
"Mother also did not want to cry, but these tears could not be stopped. What should mom do? Should you blind these two eyes?" she said with a sad face.
"Don't say that, Mother! I will definitely find a way to free Mom from this place!" promise the man with a serious face.
"No need, Mother has no other desire than to be by His Majesty's side." the woman refused as she stared at the pendant in her hand.
"Mom, why do you have to suffer for a man like that?" ze Hao asked with reddened eyes, he felt sad for his mother who was always hurt.
"Because she is someone precious and very important to Mom. Ze Hao, he is your father! can't you forgive all his mistakes?" the woman looked down with eyes and begged.
"Huhhhh...!" Ze Hao sighed violently.
He stood up from his chair, lowered his body and knelt in front of his mother. "I'm sorry, Mother! I will be a filial and obedient child. But, I really can't forgive that guy!"
"All right, I understand! Ze Hao's... Take good care of yourself. Mom loves you..."
After saying her last sentence, the woman spewed a lot of blood from her mouth.
"I...Mama!"
