Honey trap on the way

At duke ying's study,

Duke ying was as solemn and in deep thoughts like Prime minister Zhou. Though on surface they seem neutral but inside they were in cahoots with the Zhou and the mu clan. He was able to rise to a duke with the waves pushed by them.

Insatiable greed was what he was filled with inside, promised to be titled a Wang when the battle climaxes over ones victory he certainly was not saint of a man.

His hands filled with the blood of his brethren's to secure his position by no means he was less than prime minister Zhou. His mind right now was how to kill two birds with one stone.

Wining the favor from Yusheng and also cement his ties with Zhou and the mu. Seated opposite him was his heir Song hui same age as the third prince Pei yan.

He was really proud of this son , by his thorough training song hui had the same cunningness, greed, and visciousness like his father. Because of corrupt teachings from childhood he was able to befriend the third prince like brothers in arms while in others eyes he was a gentle, wise and talented scholar.

Born with mixed features of his parents he had a dark eyebrows, pair of pheonix eye, long nose, light pink lips, fair as jade face. His posture and aura was upright yet gentle as slight breeze.

Making him one of the top four gentlemen of Nanling. Desired by many ladies. Many top families wanted to have him as a son-in law.

Duke ying looks at his son and questions .. Hui'er what do you think of today's situation? Any special thoughts you care to share with father?

With a voice like of a flute gentle and soothing playing with his jade pendant he looks to his father and with a smile that had ladies of entire capital swoon he replies..

"Expected yet unexpected. Though there was sure to be a backlash for the dukes outrageous foolish behavior, yet loosing his life was out of the box.

The privilege and the talent indeed unprecedented and with the mountain of medicine valley behind her daring enough to poke a hole in heaven.

It is just a matter of time for her name and beauty to fly in all four countries. Handful but if subdued then glory till 9 generation will not be a dream"..

Hearing the thoughts the duke himself had made him very happy. Nodding like a chicken pecking rice he said .. have you think of a way to subdue this wild horse, remember be late than hasty ... offending her we cannot afford.

"A genius indeed but still a small girl, what she shows is what she learned. The elders and even that mama of hers are definitely tree with deep roots. Being in seclusion and guided thoroughly would indeed show results. Though I accept that she is undeniably a great genius but still wet behind her ears in terms of emotions.

May take time but won't be able to escape this son's honey trap" replies song hui confidently.

"Hui'er don't forget though not known outside both consort mu , prime mister Zhou and our family knows that you and Xuan are to be betrothed, it's just matter of time... along with lord of the valley we also can't afford to offend the Zhou and mu" remindes duke ying.

"Father who says one need to keep it for life time, once thoroughly eaten till bone what left is always discarded. Even the Zhou and mu are thinking the same this son wants to claim the prize before they can. Even without the head the body still remains, once subdued medicine valley this treasure trove will be the opener that will help us to unleash the leash that Zhou and mu have upon us. Though not above them this son still be on equal length with them.

For this to happen just their main daughter is not enough. And what we need is clear to us.. father this son believes in ...Don't miss opportunities: time doesn't come round again"... replies song hui.

Learning that his son has already thought pro and cons and even had plans he nodded implying him that he supports him. Well why not aim higher when one can. Though called friend but as his son said indeed they were leashes and restricted, and beacause of ones greed and position still had to be humble.

Feeling happy as if they have already soared high they had nice sleep but how would they know their so called honey trap would not only not succeed but in future they will cry tears of blood till all blood drained by this so called wet behind ears girl.
