Wu Yange found it all amusing and chuckled in a low voice before saying, "Well since that settled. We should move on to why I am here. Are you going to tell me or I have to force it out of you?"

With a fixed face she outrightly lied in a way that could convince anyone else other than Wu Yange. Her plan was simple, kill Rong Zian as soon as Wu Yange left and take away someone important to him so he could feel how she felt when Wu Qingsong died. She solely believed if Wu Yange had stayed and listened to the emperor, taking the title of the crown prince, he would have survived the death curse and therefore his twin would still be alive. It was time for her to make him feel her pain.

"I don't know who you are referring to. I would advise you to leave since there nothing for you here and don't bother coming back, you are not welcome," she said in a dismissive tone.

"This is why Wu Qingsong left you. He didn't want scum like you dirtying his eyes that he left your palace with only the clothes on his back. He risked falling sick just to get away from you, if I hadn't found him almost frozen to death he would have met his fate fleeing from you. Even your father couldn't tolerate you anymore that you had to kill him for shedding light on your dark secrets. You ar-," said Wu Yange before he was cut off when a teapot came flying in his direction but missed hitting the pillar. She flung anything she could get her hands on while screaming words Wu Yange didn't bother following.

Annoyed, Wu Yange couldn't tolerate her tantrums and sent to fireballs in her direction scorching her hand that was busy flinging things like a toddler.

"You see my son wants to kill me! The whole city will know what a murderous son I have and avenge me!" she screamed like a crazy person her chest heaving rapidly as the servants tended to her.

"Tsk…," tsked Wu Yange exiting the main hall thinking, 'If she can't tell me where he is then I will let her lead me. As angry as she is now, she can only vent on Rong Zian.' He closed his eyes and followed the flames in the palace. He could see anything as long as a flaming torch was around. Observing through the flames, he saw the angry mob led by his mother crease crossing through various maze-like passageways till reaching an underground dungeon hidden from public view. He would have a hard time finding this place if he had gone off on his own. Activating his sapphire flame, he went after them to get his lover back.

***

Rong Zian had been chained up for hours, his lanterns already floating in the sky and Wu Yange hadn't shown up yet. He was getting bored and just felt like breaking the chains and walking out of there but he also wanted to be the damsel in distress saved by the handsome prince. A manga comic was going on in his head that went like this:

"Oh-oh help me would somebody free me from these tyrants!" says actor Rong Zian in a girly voice with his hand over his forehead. Boom! A loud sound is heard with the handsome Wu Yange flattening his captures.

"Oh valiant prince you thus have saved this poor soul and I give you my body to do as you please as a token of my appreciation," says the actor Rong Zian while tossing himself onto Wu Yange's body looking pitiful. And so the prince didn't waste any time smacking Rong Zian's bottom with a Pa sound filling the room.

"Oh my, not here the villains are watching us," replies the actor Rong Zian all shy and provocative.

"Let them watch, I can't hold off any longer," replied an impatient prince planting his lips on actor Rong Zian who had his legs wrapped around Wu Yange's waist.

As the manga x –rated scenes commenced in Rong Zian's head the angry mob arrived only to find Rong Zian with his eyes close foolishly smiling as though in a trance.

"I must have been too accommodating, you seem very comfortable. Well I am here to rectify that and be more hospitable," said the empress gesturing for the prison guard to bring out her torture devices.

'Fuck! Just when things were getting good!' thought Rong Zian as he opened eyes seeming disappointed, "Huh, I see the empress brought along her angry villagers with pitchforks and fire to burn the witch. Ahhhh go ahead do as you please, I was getting bored in here anyway," he replied impatiently waiting for Wu Yange.

The empress was still puzzled by Rong Zian's reaction, she couldn't understand what ace he had under his sleeve that made him this brave. The guard picked an iron bar and shoved it into the burning charcoal until it was hot enough to the empress's satisfaction.

"Let me start by burning that handsome face of yourself, the face of a hoe must be burnt. The face that attracted him in the first place," she said waiting for the iron to be hot enough, "You seduced him with those phoenix eyes, right? I will burn a hole through those bewitching eyes of yours so no one can ever fall victim to your charms again!"

Rong Zian chuckled while responding, "Well that's still undecided, who provoked whom first so it would be unfair to crucify me for it," before pondering for a moment, "oh wait, you're right. I did provoke him first. I cuddled him all night and he couldn't help but fall in love."

The empress' face turned ugly with veins bulging on her forehead, "Burn that vile tongue!" she screamed at the guard but as the man got closer the iron turned ice cold in an instant. He was confused and ran back to the charcoal afraid the empress would beat him to death. But it happened again and this time the empress noticed the delay and started yelling something but Rong Zian wasn't listening.

As the empress grabbed the iron rod from the guard and shoved it in the fire herself, Rong Zian was looking at Zhao Lee currently walking towards his bag. She went through his stuff like a thief taking out the fragrance Rong Zian made for Wu Yange. "Hey! Don't you fucking touch that!" he yelled but Zhao Lee pretended not to hear him fiddling with the lid to open grinning at him, her eyes taunting him.

"What the fuck! Tsk....okay bring it on!"

She had tipped his bottom line, no one was allowed to touch that without permission. The fun was over and he had to educate some ruffians. "Fuck! Didn't your mother teach you not to touch other people's stuff," scolded Rong Zian suddenly right in front of her, his chains gone raging like a bull.

Everyone was shocked but before they could react Rong Zian took back what belonged to him and waved his hand emitting a strong force that flung Zhao Lee straight into the wall with a cranking sound echoing in the dungeon. Zhao Huang cried out for his daughter while Madam Zhao foolishly came after the culprit with a dagger. But she too suffered the same fate as the rest hauled a great distance their bodies scattered on the ground. Some dead, some paralysed while others lucky enough to only be coughing blood.

The empress was horrified, the blood completely drained out of her face pointing at him with trembling hands, "Wh-What are you?"

"Someone you shouldn't fuck with. Do you think your son would be interested in someone simple with that temper of his? It's actually such a miracle that he found love with a mother like you. Tsk…. Look what you made me do. Zhao Lee if I get dumped its all your fault, I will come to finish you if you aren't dead already," he said tossing his hand about accidentally releasing some energy that brought the iron dungeon gate crashing onto the empress's legs.

"Shit! I didn't mean to do that," placing his hand over his mouth in surprise as the empress hurled curses and insults.

"Zian!" yelled Wu Yange running towards while jumping over the scattered bodies on the floor.

"You're late," he said averting his gaze, "go help your mother, it really wasn't on purpose." The empress was being assisted by the royal guards responding to the commotion. Their objective was to get the empress out of there as soon as possible not even bothering to apprehend the culprit.

"She has plenty of help," he said placing his warm hand on Rong Zian's cheek turning his face to look at him, "The lanterns were beautiful," he spoke in a low magnetic voice, his eyes rippling with emotion. Rong Zian heard him but the prince's voice was being drowned in madam Zhao's wailing.

Wu Yange blasted a fireball in her direction hitting the wall near her knocking her out due to the impact of the explosion, "Will you all be quiet for a second!" turning to face Rong Zian with a gentle smile, "I got your message."

Rong Zian took out his gift nervously biting his lower lip and asked the important question, "Yan Yan, will you be my boyfriend? Despite the fact that I kinda paralysed your mother." Wu Yange opened the jade bottle and almost immediately the unique scent diffused into the atmosphere. He loved it and Rong Zian had made it especially for him. Thinking back when Rong Zian was making those perfumes, he couldn't help but wonder if he was making it for him.

Wu Yange smiled as a flush crept up his neck all the way up to his face and replied, "Mm," nodding in agreement, "but I want more," showing him a ring dangling on a chain before placing it his neck, "Is that okay?" Rong Zian's eyes sparkled in excitement admiring the beautifully crafted dazzling ring.

He was done for, his legs gave in with mixed feelings. Wu Yange caught him and drew him closer into an embrace as he chuckled with a sly grin. 'Argh!!! Fuck me! What does more mean?' thought Rong Zian messing with his gorgeous ring.

The empress who still being assisted witnessed the whole thing as it happened right in front of her. She was extremely livid forgetting all her pain directing insults at them.

"Yan Yan are you trying to anger your mother to death?" asked Rong Zian looking her direction.

Wu Yange pinched his chin and made him face his direction. "Mm," he replied and planned a gentle yet possessive kiss with his had around Rong Zian's waist slowly moving downwards groping the man's ass. Rong Zian could barely breathe as they tongues were intertwined together in a sensual dance while letting out a subtle moan. This motivated Wu Yange placing his other hand behind Rong Zian's neck drawing closer for a deeper kiss.

"Fuck! You two just get a room!" yelled Ying Tie who had finally arrived after following the commotion. The empress almost chocked in her anger losing consciousness just as the kiss happened.
