Chapter 361 - The Performance (3) (2/2)
She mumbled to herself, ”Truly alike... my Ah San...” She said it in a low voice, so no one but her personal Mo Mo could hear that. The latter came into the palace along the Empress Dowager, so of course, she knew about this Ah San. She felt helpless because she knew how much the Empress Dowager used to love Ah San --- and maybe, she had never ceased loving him. However, she needed to bury the love deep within her after she served the Emperor.
This was what Xiao Fang and friends had aimed. They wanted to evoke the forgotten feelings of the Empress Dowager with their performance so that no one would stop them from playing the performance until the end --- or at least, the Empress Dowager who had the most saying wouldn't stop them. They were using the Empress Dowager's feelings towards her own personal hidden guard.
After all, they knew that the Han Emperor must have been trying to find their mistakes, just because the one who brought them here the person that he currently hated the most --- Feng Yong Rui.
Not many people knew about the love story between the Empress Dowager with her personal shadow guard who had passed away due to protecting her, but Han Xiang was one of the people who knew about it. She was the Empress Dowager's most favorite granddaughter and the Empress Dowager accidentally talked about it once, but Han Xiang couldn't forget about it.
After all, it was such a sweet love story which a young girl would like. At that time, Xiao Fang was still in a good relationship with Han Xiang. Thus, Han Xiang told Xiao Fang about it --- there was no third person who knew about this matter because this was the Empress Dowager's secret ah~! If people knew they were the one who spread the story, they would be punished ah~!
The Emperor was surprised when he saw her mother's tears. ”Mother, what happened to you? Do you want me to stop the play?” He asked softly, however, there was displeasure in his eyes. The Han Emperor was feeling the need to blame this to Feng Yong Rui once again. It seemed like he would get another chance to make trouble for Feng Yong Rui using this matter. After all, his play made the Empress Dowager cried sadly.
Too bad, he had to be disappointed once again, because his mother rejected his idea bluntly. ”No need... I want to see this play until the end,” The Empress Dowager answered. The Han Emperor could see how lonely she looked, so he didn't dare to comment on it or reprimand Feng Yong Rui. If his mother wanted the performance to finish, he would let her be.
As long as she was happy, he wouldn't meddle in this matter. After all, this banquet was dedicated to her.
The Empress Dowager could see the love between the young miss and the shadow guard. Her heart felt so painful that she clenched her fists tightly. The young shadow guard was able to chase away Yao Ying but didn't manage to injure him --- because the latter also had a pretty good martial arts skills.
The audience stopped breathing due to the amazing fight between the two men --- they knew that both of them were really good at martial arts skills. They wondered who these people were... the men and women who performed seemed to be not ordinary people.
When Yao Ying was gone to backstage, he needed to help to prepare their next segment. Yao Ling was changing the fighting tune that she had just played and turning it into a soft melodious one. It was time for the lovey-dovey moment, so of course, the song would be about a love story. This time, there was an added singing voice from a female singer that was hired by Feng Yong Rui for them.
The next segment would be the beginning of Yao Ling's last-minute plan... The plan which would decide everything...
