The Next Of Phoenix
Chapters 19. Keeping What He Is Keeping

Once at Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Mingyui quickly went down and cleaned up her assisted by Bingbing. Until now, Xiao Mingyui's appearance was neat and clean with a new sweet purple hanfu.

Xiao Mingyui sat on a large rock, before him was a vast lotus pond. This place used to be the favorite area Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Xiangqing played in, then later their father who had just returned from the Palace joined in and the voice of his mother who shouted furiously from the worry of Mingyui and Xiangqing splashing into the pool sounded. Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly recalling those small memories.

The sky will be dark, time will go by so quickly without us noticing. Xiao Mingyui turned to Bingbing, then said, "Bingbing, prepare a lot of white rose petals. I want to visit the tombs of Mu qin and Fu qin."

Bingbing stunned. "But, your highness. The sky is beginning to darken ...."

Xiao Mingyui nodded thinly. "No problem, just prepare."

"Good ...." Bingbing could not argue, she immediately left and tried to prepare what her employer had asked for.

After the white roses were ready and handed over to Xiao Mingyui, they rushed back on the horse carriage to the tombs of Xiao Muqing and Huang Mingxiang.

Arriving there, the atmosphere was very quiet. There was only wind and moonlight, Xiao Mingyui wore a thin coat to protect him from the night breeze.

Xiao Mingyui sat before his parents' graves. This time his lips smiled, he was already able to let go of these two people he loved so much.

Xiao Mingyui saluted the two tombs, then returned to sitting in a normal position.

"Fu qin, Mu qin. Mingyui returned and brought good news. Mingyui managed to obtain the Crown Prince, our marriage will save while strengthening the strength of Xiao Wangfu in this Empire. Thank you very much, for both of you having educated Mingyui and Xiangqing with great care. Without the gentle teachings of Mu qin, Mingyui would probably not have become a serving noblewoman. Likewise, without Fu qin's strict teachings, Mingyui probably would not have been able to survive until at this second. Deep down in this heart, Mingyui misses you both so much. However, this longing will not be a weakness for Mingyui, but will instead become a new great spirit for me. Mingyui swore, Mingyui will not stop despite having been drenched in blood to defend Xiao Wangfu. Mingyui swore an oath to this Empire, Xiao Wangfu, and Xiao Wangfu's army. Be calm and happy there, Fu qin, Mu qin."

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Mingyui again paid his respects to the two tombs. After he finished, Xiao Mingyui quickly stood up and sprinkled the white rose around the graves of his parents. She purposely did not use any other flowers because white roses were her mother's love interest.

As soon as he finished, Xiao Mingyui was a little surprised to see Rong Wangxia who had just arrived. The man's right hand held a bunch of white roses.

"Mr Rong?" xiao Mingyui asked in surprise.

Rong Wangxia smiled faintly, then bowed briefly. "Ah ... princess is also here."

"You want to visit my parents' meal again?" xiao Mingyui asked.

Rong Wangxia nodded gently. "Right, did the princess just finish?"

Xiao Mingyui nodded back as well. "Yes, I'm going back. Please."

When Xiao Mingyui was about to step away, suddenly Rong Wangxia said something that made his steps come to a halt.

Xiao Mingyui looked at Rong Wangxia coldly, then then he gave a brief nod. "Yes, according to what you know." He deliberately followed the plot of Rong Wangxia's conversation to find out the purpose of the topic that the man had suddenly revealed.

Rong Wangxia smiled faintly as he stared at Huang Mingxiang's tomb. "Listening and seeing your persistence to protect Xiao Wangfu reminds me of the figure of the late Xiao Wangfei. You do everything you can, no matter if it will drop your pride or not, just like the late Xiao Wangfei did."

Xiao Mingyui raised his left eyebrow. "You're talking about this only in memory of the late Xiao Wangfei?"

Rong Wangxia chuckled, then before long the man's head turned. The man's albino white hair was fluttering softly. "Not only that."

"Then?"

Rong Wangxia looked back at Huang Mingxiang's tomb. "I love what Huang Mingxiang loves. I love what Huang Mingxiang loves. Seeing you and Prince Xiangqing suffer, it makes my heart unsettled."

"theirs?" xiao Mingyui asked, he was lazy to hear Rong Wangxia's pleasantries.

Rong Wangxia chuckled slightly hearing Xiao Mingyui's impatient tone. With a look of eyes that seemed reluctant to shift from Huang Mingxiang's tomb, the man said, "Because he has left, then I who am still here will replace him to take care of what he has taken care of all his life. I will help you and Prince Xiangqing to protect Xiao Wangfu, because, yet I must not fail in showing how much love I have." At the end of the sentence, Rong Wangxia turned his head with a bitter smile.

Xiao Mingyui was stunned, but before long his forehead folded. There were a million strange questions and feelings that she felt when she saw Rong Wangxia willingly doing anything for the sake of her love feelings that clapped one hand.

When Xiao Mingyui was still busy raging with her feelings, suddenly Bingbing approached with a panicked look on her face and said, "Your highness! I just received a pigeon message from Young Master Gu, it was written that the location that the prince and Crown Prince came to had an avalanche after! The existence of the two noble ones was nowhere to be found!"

Xiao Mingyui widened her eyes, the woman squeezed her hanfu cloth involuntarily. Xiao Mingyui's heart skipped a beat.

"Xiangqing ...." Anxiety began to envelop his heart, the look on his face also looked very gloomy.

"Daughter, as soon as you get ready and go to the location. I will be in charge and face the Emperor for permission!" Rong Wangxia got up from his seat, then looked solemnly at Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui looked at Rong Wangxia, without a second thought, the woman immediately nodded quickly and climbed into the horse carriage. Xiao Wangfu's horse carriage sped very fast towards Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Mingyui did not want to waste time preparing.

Arriving at Xiao Wangfu, the woman changed her clothes and Bingbing nimbly prepared the items that Xiao Mingyui would need. It was not until fifteen minutes, the two of them had now prepared with different appearances on horseback.

Da Xuan was also at Xiao Mingyui and Bingbing's side, the three of them started to spur their respective horses to exit Xiao Wangfu. Arriving before the gate, fifty troops of Xiao Wangfu were already waiting, the two of them would escort Xiao Mingyui away.

The gate of the Imperial Capital was opened wide, allowing the troops of Xiao Wangfu and Xiao Mingyui to exit. Xiao Mingyui continued to whip his horse, his heart unable to calm down. She was worried that something severe had happened to Xiangqing, she would not let the Fang family live a quiet life if she dared to touch her sister directly!

Amidst his anxiety to Xiao Xiangqing, Xiao Mingyui suddenly thought of Xiao Jiwang. The man was also declared missing, just like his sister. Whether where the two of them were, the last report he received from Mentoring before riding on the horse was that the last position the two of them looked at was to walk together towards the foot of Lang Tao mountain. Thinking that Lang Tao mountain was extremely dangerous and the center of the landslide was the foot of the mountain, Xiao Mingyui's forehead folded in. The woman was too worried to the point of not realizing that currently she was in addition to worrying about Xiao Xiangqing, she was also worried about Xiao Jiwang.
