Soul Karmas

"Where is Shao Feng right now?" Hong Tai asked the person kneeling before him with a serious expression while there is still an ongoing fight happening before them.

"Milord, Shao Feng  is still outside the Capital and will take time to arrive along with his own soldiers after receiving the news of what is currently happening in the Capital." ,he answered the question while bowing his head respectfully.

Hong Tai nodded his head, despite being young, Shao Feng, are also one of the people he has been wary off, specially after learning that the young man seemed to has given his loyalty to the Royal Family.

Aside from himself, Shao Feng was also the other person that has exactly the same prestige and authority in the military with almost the same power that he has.

Base from the time that they have planned their attack, it will be too late for Shao Feng to come over and rescue the Regent King and the Young Emperor after receiving the news about their sudden rebellion.

Even if the Regent King has been outstandingly smart, he surely wouldn't have figure out that they will move the exact day that they receive the information of what he has just done.

It was the also reason why they quickly and decisively made their rebellion at this moment on.

The monitor that they have secretly place everywhere has finally made it use at their current situation.

Right at this instant, aside from the Shao Family with their military might, no one else will be able to come and rescue the life of the Regent King and the Young Emperor.

As for the Royal Family most loyal ally, the Jun Family, Hong Tai has already given the order from his other subordinate to attack the Jun Family after making sure that the young man Jun Chen has been called out by the elder of the Jun Family to help out from the trouble that he has secretly create in order for the young man to leave the Rong Palace.

Jun Chen will have to go over and handle his family affair after all.

Handling Jun Chen is a bit problematic since he was the destined Future Emperor in the future, even if Wang Lau would have taken the authority and power of the Dynasty for a bit more longer after this.

Hong Tai has to make sure that it wouldn't affect the intimate affection that the young man will have toward his precious daughter.

As for the affection that he has toward the Regent King? The young man will sooner forget about it since there is no way that the few days that the two of them has met has a very strong affection with each other and was deep enough to the point that the young man will think about avenging the death of the Regent King, specially when after learning about getting the most powerful and greatest authority in the entire Rong Dynasty in the later future.

Men are born ambitious and that young man definitely was that kind of a person just base from learning about him being the Future Emperor in the near future.

Right now all they have to do is win their current fight and only need to eradicate those two people that has the Royal bloodline, as long as those two important people die today, the entire Jun and Shao Family will not be able to do anything no matter how much they felt in the end, unless they want their entire family to be eradicated!

Suddenly another person has appeared, "Milord! Young Master Ling was able to successfully rescue our Young Lady Tai! He has already sent the Young Lady away and to safety! He is currently on his way right now!"

"Good! Hong Ling, I knew that you would not disappoint me!" a relief expression suddenly appeared on Hong Tai face after receiving the very important news that he has been anxiously waiting for the whole time, before quickly asking the whereabouts of the other people.

"The young man Jun Chen has been outside when the attack has happened and is currently not in the Rong Palace, while our spies inside has told us that the Regent King has been visiting the Palace where his Imperial Brothers has live when the attack happen and the Young Emperor is currently staying in the Royal Hall."

"How about the Right Prime Minister Milord?" asked of the other person with a bit wariness on his face because that person has been crafty as a fox.

Something flash on Hong Tai eyes as he glance at a certain place, precisely the resting place of the Queen Mother before turning around as he gaze at the now nearby Royal Hall that was currently being guarded by numerous Imperial Guards as they fought his own soldiers at the moment, protecting the Royal Family.

"No need to worry, the two of us already plan everything."

.

.

"...Lei Shan..."

Wang Lau couldn't help but whisper softly, blue eyes open wide with surprise as he gaze at the currently miserable beautiful person sitting in a wooden chair before him.

"... um.... eh.... hskhe... " a rather unintelligent reply answer back as the Queen Mother amber eyes filled with utter despair as she gaze with shame and hopeful emotion at the handsome man that has appeared before her, while the beautiful face has been covered with tears.

... your finally here Lau... Lau... hu... hu... save me... save me...

Unintelligent noise continue on, as Wang Lau slowly step forward with unbelievable face, blue eyes couldn't help but glimpse of the open mouth of Wei Lei Shan causing his body to shudder, specially when she has been unable to move the whole time and has been keeping still in that wooden chair of her the moment that he has arrive.

"wu...sah.....uj....."

"You.. You..." anger, overwhelming anger, as he look at the wretched situation of the person he has love and has been endlessly longing for so many years, before suddenly howling in sorrow.

"Ah! Monster! Monster! Regent King! How could you do this to your own Mother!"

Before suddenly rushing over with uneven step at the still beautiful but miserably person as his lip keep speaking in a comfort way,

"Don't wory! Lei Shan, Don't worry! I'll save you! There is definitely other people that can heal you. Everything will be alright! I am here!"

However, the moment that he has almost walk halfway toward where Wei Lei Shan was something suddenly happen as the ground under his feet has started glowing brightly while line slowly appeared and spread around the whole place as it slowly forming a huge circle that has made Wang Lau to stop and stand still, his head lowering down quickly at the sudden appearance of a mystic spell underneath him.

"An Ambush!" Wang Lau blue eyes suddenly widen in panic before quickly moving backward and away from the rune spell that has activated, however the unintelligent noise has immediately cause him to turn his head around as panic blue eyes met with tearful amber eyes that has been looking at him desperately causing him to stop moving.

He has been observing the entire mystic spell after it appeared and knew with a high chance that he still has enough time to save her but it will be dangerous thing to do specially when even his life will be in danger and it might even cause him to lose his life if he did.

As his mind brim in chaos, complicated blue eyes flash with hesitation, causing the paralyze beautiful woman that has been gazing and observing the person before him to has caught the emotion that has flash by causing her heart to turn cold, specially when remorseful blue eyes gaze at her one more time before turning around without hesitation and dashing away madly.

Wang Lau has been biting his lip tightly enough that it started to bleed while it drip down into the ground as he run away with a heavy heart, feeling remorseful as he turn his back at the person he love the most.

"... Lei Shan... Sorry!"

I... I just don't want to die!

Amber eyes filled with disbelief as she stare at the person that has turn around without even looking back once as he escapes from danger, saving his life while abandoning her, the person that has been telling her nonstop that he love her very deeply.

No... Noo.... you abandon me...? Why...? You... you said that you love me! WANG LAU!!!

She stayed frozen, amber eyes widen with utter shock at the reality that she is currently experiencing while the painful sound of the soldiers that Wang Lau has bring along that has been unable to escape doesn't even registered in her mind.

She was in a complete disorder and confusion as the image of the person she has been loving the whole time ran away from danger and leaving her alone keep repeating in her mind, at first she felt intense denial as she tried to think of a reason that Wang Lau has left her alone before somehow, the voice of her youngest child echoed so loudly and clear at this moment on.

"You both are a coward, you two choose the same thing, rather than love, you both choose Life instead!"

Ah...

Ah...

Suddenly, she seemed to figure it all out on this moment on.

The frozen and paralyze Wei Lei Shan at this moment on couldn't help but let her head fall, the power that has been controlling her body the entire time has disappeared, but right now, she doesn't have any strength any longer as she face the reality before her.

Is that it?

She has been wrong all along?

Did I... make a mistake and choose a wrong choice?

Did I... love the wrong person?

Unable to voice the question that she desperately wanted an answer from, tears fall relentlessly down her beautiful face as expression of intense regret fill her entire being up.

During the entire time that the people around her continue to howl in pain, Wei Lei Shan figure miraculously remain safe and sound, as no attack come even close by her body.

After finally rushing and running madly along with the other soldiers that has been with him, Wang Lau couldn't help but kneel down in the floor feeling unpleasant the entire time as his back facing the Palace of the Queen Mother.

In that single moment, there has been two choice that he has to choose, either die together with the person he love, the Queen Mother that he has been wanting to be with or either save his own life and continue to fight for the throne in the Rong Dynasty.

Regent King!

Regent King!

Rong Xen!

Blue vein bulged on Wang Lau forehead as he knew only one person that can only plan something cruel and ruthless before him.

After learning the whole thing, the Regent King has made a devious ambush plan and a choice for him to choose from.

Wang Lau couldn't quickly raise his head up high in the sky as he howled in extreme hatred and regret that echoed loudly that it even reach a certain place.

"I Will Not Forgive You!!!"

Hong Tai couldn't help but turn his head around as he heard the painful voice of the Right Prime Minister causing him to feel anxiety as he couldn't help but feel a deep ominous feeling the entire time, specially when they have been winning this entire fight the whole time.

While Rong Nie that was able to hear Wang Lau voice, remain unperturbed while his red eyes flash coldly as he continue to sit calmly on his throne.

And somewhere in the Rong Palace, a delicate figure is laying lazily around at a very luxurious couch while delicate finger play along with his own long black silk hair before suddenly turning his head around a bit when he heard the howling voice of a certain place.

After a few seconds at staring in the distance, he turn his head back and continue to play with his silky black hair but the pink lip couldn't help but curve up.

.

.

"Young Master Lou! Are you alright?"

Clank

Clank

Clank

Beat up handsome face raise slowly, while painful green eyes glance at the person that has remove the chain that has been tying him the whole time before helping his severely injured body up carefully.

"... Father?" Wang Lou green eyes flash while asking one of the subordinate of his father that has help rescue him at the moment.

"Young Master Lou, do not need to worry about the Lord and please take this medicine to heal most of your injury at the moment."

Wang Lou silently took the medicine from the person before him, and although it was not able to completely cure him because of how severe the injury that he has taken, which immediately remind him of the two person that has just cause it that immediately made him grit his teeth with great anger.

The person before him has felt the growing anger of his Young Master couldn't help but speak with a bit more cautious on it when he carry on, "Young Master Lou, our Lord is currently fighting his way into the Royal Hall along with the Great General Hong Tai! The Regent King has been caught unaware and was not able to make his own preparation quickly to fight back at the moment. We has the momentum and in the winning side at this moment on!"

Already in the Royal Hall? Rong Xen losing? Hong Tai? Beside that...

"We are winning?" A surprise expression flash on Wang Lou face, before a calculation flash on his green eyes which the person before him has failed to notice.

"Yes! The greatest ally of the Regent King Shao Feng has been outside the Capital and doesn't have any other soldiers to fight us back, specially when we have more people because of the Alliance with the Great General!"

Green eyes darkened before standing up, "Take me there right now!"

The other person couldn't help but wanted him to rest his injured body but his young master was just being stubborn and could only let him go to the Royal Hall, while guarding him along the way.

"I'll let all of them pay the price for going against me!"

.

.

"Love... your back?"

Amber eyes gently gaze at the young handsome man that has suddenly appeared before him, the white robe flutter as he walk gracefully causing Snow to stare a bit more at his handsome lover.

"Um! Sorry Baby, I was a bit late."

Dark Ink eyes worriedly gaze back at his little lover before bending down as he helped fixed a bit of the messy purple royal robe when his little Xen has raise up from lying down on the luxurious couch before his gaze move up to stare at a bit at the crooked jade crown which he immediately fix.

The entire time, Snow remain silent as he obediently let Li Chen take care of him before a large and slender hand was extended before him when Li Chen take a step back a bit after he has finish taking care of him.

"Lets go?"

Snow gaze at the gentle smile with dark ink eyes filled with heavy love as it gaze at him causing the beautiful and charming face to flush a bit before gently raising his own small soft hand and grasping the much larger and warmer hand before him.

"... Um... Lets go."

Two figure, one is a small and delicate person wearing a magnificent purple royal robe while the other person was a tall and slender figure of  handsome young man wearing an elegant white robe, walk side by side together while their shadow intertwined together.

.

.

Hong Tai couldn't help but glance at the person that has arrive a minutes ago but remaining silent the whole time, sensing about how there is something wrong with Wang Lau at the moment and continue his entire focus more on the ongoing fight before him.

Seeing as the Imperial Guards was losing now, even though they are powerful enough to fight back but it doesn't change the fact that they only have fewer people than what they are against with, specially when they are far more skilled in protecting rather than fighting which his own soldier has been more adapt with from fighting in the border region of the Dynasty.

"Open it! Hurry! We have to win this fight fast!"

"AH! Protect Your Majesty!"

"Traitor Die!"

The fight continue on, both Imperial Guards and Soldiers dying one by one, the entire Rong Palace currently in a bloodshed while dead bodies has been scattered all around the place before a bit of joyful shout suddenly echoed out loudly causing  Hong Tai to smile a bit when he saw the open door of the Royal Hall where the Young Emperor has been staying at, while Wang Lau eyes flash in wrath and greed as blue eyes gaze at the open door where most of the authoritative place in the entire Rong Dynasty is, the throne room. 

Hong Tai and Wang Lau along with a group of the demoted officials entered the Royal Hall finally before stopping as expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Rong Nie, slowly raise his head up from the memorial that he has been reading on his hand before gazing at the group of people that has entered the throne room while the shivering eunuch has been standing before him has taken the offered memorial from the Young Emperor and turning around to place on a stack of memorials that has been finish during the attack was happening.

Everyone couldn't help but feel utter disbelief about how carefree and unworried the Young Emperor has been acting to the point that he has been reading memorials despite the fact that there has been an ongoing fighting and bloodshed happening in the entire Palace, specially when his life was in great danger.

"Oh... We have been waiting for a bit too long."

Since it was taking them time to fight their way in, as an Emperor there was a lot of matter that he has to handle, specially when there has been a lot of official that he has just demoted and remove in the Royal Court causing more work for him and it didn't help over the fact that his Imperial Uncle seemed to has his focus and attention more toward the Young Jun to the point that he sometimes has to go himself to discuss important matter to his Imperial Uncle but to only see those embarrassing and shameful scene when he arrive before them.

Hong Tai and Wang Lau couldn't help but frown at the scene before them since it just felt so wrong that they started to get suspicious causing them to look around the place in a guarded way before a voice suddenly echoed loudly that caught their attention, everyone turning their head around at the direction of the open door, even Rong Nie red eyes stare at the figure that has appeared before them.

"Son! I'm glad that your safe! Hurry and Come here, we are finally going to win this fight!"

Wang Lau felt a bit more relieved as he saw the safe figure of his son beckoning him to come on his side since it is the safest place in the entire place at the moment, specially when there are still an ongoing fight going on outside as those Imperial Guards tried to come and rescue the Young Emperor.

Although Wang Lau has decided to let the fate decide on what will happen to Wang Lou, he has still given an order to one of his important subordinate to rescue him just in case he was still alive from being caught by the Regent King, as blue eyes observe his only child, he felt relief that Wang Lou is still alive even if he was severely injured base from his appearance.

But as he look around, Wang Lau was unable to find his subordinate causing Wang Lou to lower his head in regret, "Father I apologize... he died saving me along the way. I almost died too, thankfully another young man has save me in time."

"Uncle, I didn't fail the mission that you have given me!"

Another young man appeared exactly the same time that Wang Lou has finish speaking to Wang Lau, causing Hong Tai to nod his head in approval, eyes flashing in gratified manner.

"Good! I know I could count on you Ling!"

Among the other relatives in the Hong Family, he was the very best and obedient, specially when they saw in the magical artifact in their family that Hong Ling was destined to be the successor of the Military power that he has, making the Hong Family more safer and stronger than ever.

After finally arriving in the safe place of the other important figures while the other soldiers protect them from any danger that might appear, everyone began to finally face the Young Emperor that has stayed silent the whole time.

Rong Nie gaze turn sharp and vicious as he look at the people who dared to betray and lead a rebellion.

"We are greatly disappointed." sighing deeply at these people that wanted their life, specially when red eyes gaze at the Great General who has been remaining neutral the whole ordeal, at least Rong Nie has thought that he just want to stay safe and not wanting to be joining the chaos that is happening in the Royal Family.

Rong Nie would have understood it as everyone was just trying to protect themselves but who would have thought that among the people in power, he was the same ambitious as the current Right Prime Minister?

"The Emperor, please don't try to fight back and struggle anymore, I promise to give you a burial befitting of an Emperor and will specially give the respect of the entire Rong Family after this is all over."

Hong Tai bow his head respectfully, although he dare to betray this person before them, it doesn't change the fact that he was still the current Emperor of the Rong Dynasty and as the last Emperor of the Rong Family, that is all the greatest respect that he could give to him.

Rong Nie stayed silent for a second before opening his mouth, "... What will happen to my Imperial Uncle?"

"Please don't ask something that you already know the answer Your Majesty."

Hong Tai answered back with a bit of hopeless expression because there was no way that they will leave the Regent King unharmed because Rong Xen existence is the most frightening.

The Regent King is the one that everyone wanted gone the most because he was really the most decisive, ruthless, cruel and bloodiest person that he has really met in his entire life.

Even if they decided to leave him alone, there was no way that Rong Xen will leave them alone, he might even make a come back in the future to enact his revenge.

Besides, they all need to cut all the roots in order to avoid danger in the near future and anyone that has the Royal Bloodline has to be remove in order for the Future Emperor to appear.

The only reason why Hong Tai has allowed the Queen Mother to be kept alive and safe was not only because of Wang Lau reason, it was because she doesn't have the bloodline of the Royal Family, thus making it easier to accept her being alive, although he was a bit surprise to learn about the secret between Wang Lau and Wei Lei Shan because really who would have thought of them having affection with each other?

After observing the expression on the Great General face, Rong Nie turn his attention to the Wang father and son before waving his hand causing everyone to tense up before their eyes widen as another figure appeared before them, though the two Wang people was the one that was affected the most.

"... How about this person?" Rong Nie spoke, as cold red eyes just glance at the person that has been thrown violently in the hard ground.

The person started to cry pitifully, the beautiful face covered with tears as blue eyes flicker with pain and hope as it gaze at the people before him, the person looking so delicate and frail that even everyone want to step forward and protect the person from all the pain and suffering he might have experience.

Wang Lou green eyes glance at the people around him, before turning his attention at his miserable wife before he turn to stare deeply at his father while speaking in a low voice, causing Wang Lau to frown deeply as sweat drip down his forehead.

This Young Emperor is just like his Imperial Uncle! Both of them has been giving them troublesome and complicated choices!

"Son... we cant... not at this moment... do you understand?"

Wang Lau spoke in a very difficult voice, not wanting to stare at his own son, feeling so heavy on his heart, specially when he heard the defeated voice of his only child.

"... Ok..."

Just a day, Wang Lau has been force to give up the person that he has been loving and longing for all years while his son has been force to give up his wife, something that Wang Lau believe that has really love this person before them.

After speaking Wang Lou turn silent, as he look away from the desperate and disbelief Xiao Feiyu, that began to panic frantically, blue eyes gaze from one person to another, which has turn their gaze aside, although they wanted to save the person before them, they all treasure their life more.

Why? Why is this happening to me?

I am obviously the Protagonist in this world, I shouldn't be in this current situation!

I should be... I should be...

Xiao Feiyu remain frozen, mind seemingly unable to believes what is currently happening before him.

Rong Nie eyes couldn't help but gaze around everyone and was about to open his mouth again only for Hong Tai to cut him off, 

"Enough, Your Majesty! Don't struggle anymore, no one can protect you. If your waiting for the Regent King to arrive, he doesn't have enough time to come and rescue you this instant! It will be far too late!"

Red pupil turn bone chilling cold instantly, while noting the fact that the outside fight seemed to have been over, and one by one, a group of soldiers in armor covered in blood entered the Royal Hall while another group of soldiers started guarding the door so no one else can enter inside.

"You lose your majesty! Come and handle those hidden guards!"

After ordering the new soldiers that has finally arrived inside, Hong Tai began to move and walk toward the sitting Young Emperor before them, however after walking halfway, his body couldn't help but shake before coughing roughly with a wet sound on it as he felt his entire throat burn.

Splash!

Eyes widening in surprise as he stare of his hand covered with the blood that he has just coughed out while the blood contain with a bit of a black color on it.

Poison? How could I have been poison?

Hong Tai couldn't help but stumble backward while his entire body swaying a bit as he felt entire weak at the moment.

"Uncle!" Hong Ling that has been following, couldn't help but shout in panic while rushing forward to steady the body of his Uncle.

Wang Lau that has been watching the whole thing couldn't help but widen his blue eyes, he couldn't help but want to take a step forward seemingly wanting to make sure what is happening before him is true because it happen so so suddenly!

Swish! Squelch!

A cry of pain suddenly echoed out causing everyone to remove their attention at the currently poison Hong Tai, as their gaze turned at the figure of Wang Lau that has stumble forward with a pain filled face, their eyes widening in disbelief as all of them look at the currently long dagger that has been plunge from behind him and into his left chest, seemingly close enough to where his heart at, the injury was severe but not enough to take Wang Lau life.

But what made everyone surprise and shock in utter disbelief was the person that has plunged the dagger behind him was none other than Wang Lou, his own son!

Turning with great difficulty, Wang Lau eyes widen in incredibly as he stare at his son that has just plunged the dagger into his chest which has already started bleeding while blood drip downfrom his lip.

"You... You...!"bewildered with a question expression Wang Lau stare at the person before him.

This was his son! How could he do this to him?

"Why are you looking at me like I have done something wrong?"

Wang Lou tilt his head with a bit of confuse expression on his face while green eyes suddenly brimming with complex and dark emotions as he stare at his disbelief father before turning at the soldiers that began to walk toward him, leaving the hidden guards that they have been fighting the whole time.

"If you want your Lord to keep his life then don't make a move or else something bad might happen to him~"

Wang Lou made a smile when the group of soldiers stop and stood still, while the people that has been watching couldn't help but shudder as they deeply gaze at his expression seemingly finding something disturbing, even Wang Lau felt about something off and different about his son while walking painfully a few distance away from him.

Rong Nie couldn't help but shake his head, this person is gone.

Imperial Uncle lover jealousy sure is scary... Rong Nie couldn't help but think deeply in order to make sure that he hasn't done anything wrong since that person sure could get jealous easily even though he doesn't look like it.

Imperial Uncle where are you? Your little Nie has been waiting for so long.

Somewhere close by, a delicate figure could be seen being plaster over a wall, while a tall and slender figure was bent over a bit as his more larger body was entirely press over the delicate figure before him.

Snow small soft hand couldn't help but grip the taller person shoulder while his head was tilt over as a much larger lip was press over his own.

Amber eyes couldn't help but rolling inwardly since Snow just mention a bit about Wang Lou mentality, then this person immediately become extremely jealous and before he knew it, he has been pushed, though gently, on the wall and has been given another kiss.

It seemed that after the punishment game that they did, Li Chen turning more braver and shameless?

Or was Li Chen taking advantage off and looking for a reason to touch him?

Oh well, soon amber eyes stare at the holographic panel before him that has been playing about what has been going on with the help of Flake and as he gaze at it for a few more seconds, Snow suddenly move, making his smaller and delicate body to press up more  forward as the small and slippery tongue of his plunged into his lover open mouth.

Well, they still have a few more minutes so... anyway his Little Nie can wait for a bit more.
