Chapter 55 - Chaos

Lory and Zhao Li Xin were inside the carriage when the massacre happened in the royal palace, he pours Lory a cup of tea to calm her nerved, she gladly accepted it "What happened after this?" Lory asked.

Zhao Li Xin lean to the cushion leisurely "They would come for us…..asking forgiveness, mercy…..then they would try to take advantage of me....." he smiles lazily, they all so predictable he honestly becomes bored "Are you worried?"

"I'm not, because you don't.....I have a feeling you already have long predicted this would happened"

"Yes, you right but my original plan shifts a little bit" he's in deep thought while fiddling his wine cup.

"Really, something happened?"

Zhao Li Xin stifles 'You happened' he laments to himself "At first I want to destroy this country to the core but if I do that a lot of innocence people would hurt, so I change my plane…. I won't destroy it just shake it a little bit…" he smiles cunningly.

Lory smiles, she knew she can't interfere with his plan. Even after all these years she still can comprehend the mind of people in this world she had underestimated their will and desire to gain what they want. She never knew a parent could actually cast out their own child just for a simple matter, she used to hear about it but never seen it with her own eyes. After she witnesses it happened with someone closed to her, she feels her view about this world change quite a bit.

"They wouldn't let you go after they knew your identity, stay at Ninjing manor is unsaved" Lory quietly said.

"I know….." Zhao Li Xin gulped the remainder of his wine on his cup "We won't stay there anymore"

Lory nodded that was a wise decision, even though she knew Zhao Li Xin could handle them but stay at Ninjing palace it would be like 'sitting duck' at the end of the day we cannot underestimate our opponent.

"Where we gonna live? I don't mind anywhere...…." She spent half her life camping in the wilderness, of course, she not mind.

"Underground Palace" said Zhao Li Xin casually

Lory eyes buldged "You have an Underground palace?"

"Yes…" He wonders why she so surprised, is she hated live in underground, well it's not like forever…..

"I wanna see it!!" Lory shriek with excitement "Let's go now, I wanna see it" she bites her lips try to hold her excitement.

"You don't mind living down there?" he secretly relief.

"Are you kidding me!!" Lory holds his hands tightly "There actual palace in the underground that you can actually live in....I don't know what is it looks like but I'm in!!"

Zhao Li Xin patted her head "Then I'm glad, the secret entrance is behind our manor so we still need to go home"

"There's a SECRET ENTER!!" she screams in high pitch.

She used to spend her day with others exploring underground dungeon and cave, she saw many remnants of ancient civilization and also palace ruined cover with moss and wild grass, every time she saw that kinda place she always imagine what kinda people who use to live there, how the palace used to look like and how it feels to stay in that place. Sometime they would make a camp inside the ruined when that happened she would pretend to be someone who lives there, Fargo used to laugh at her normal woman would play 'House' with their dollhouse but lory play 'house' inside the ruined, how absurd she can be, but it also shows that she doesn't have a normal childhood.

When they arrived at Ninjing manor, his subordinated already packed everything including Lory belonging even the bellflower in the garden have been sent back to its original place, Lory surprised how quick their jobs and how empty this place could it be.

Zhao Li Xin leed her to the secret entrance inside the small pagoda, Lory's eyes glint with excitement never would have thought one of her dreams is come true in this world, both of them enter the secret door while Mong Yi left behind inside the Manor.

Mong Yi make sure nothing is left out and the servants already left the Manor, he takes out a stick from his sleeve and lit the fire.

He threw the stick to one of the rooms and fire immediately lit up and burns everything touch by it, the fire getting bigger and bigger it spread to another room. Mong Yi watches it with a blank expression. After he sure the fire is big enough he leaps on the wall and disappeared.

On the next day the news about Zhao Li Xin disowned by the Emperor and lost his title become popular topic in public despited painstaking effort from the Emperor not to leaked the news but with Red vermillion work behind the door what other people could do, there also news about Zhao Li Xin real identity as 'Long Ming' spread among the people most people can't believe it but doesn't matter, later the news about Sixth Prince manor is on fire become another popular topic.

At first The Emperor wants to coax his Son to returned he even make Royal consort Ying to visit his Manor personally, but the manor is burning to dust and Zhao Li Xin is nowhere to be found, The emperor so angry he throw everything on the grounds, Zhao Li Xin action show he wants to absolve his connection with the Jiang Wei Kingdom, whatever they plan to persuade him they must forget it because Zhao Li Xin would not give them a chance.

A week later the market inside Nan jing capital city become chaos, a lot of big companies closed down their business even though the business owner gives them big compensation but it's still a great loss. Much small company depends on them and for governments, they lost a quite sums tax money from it.

After that a lot of small company fall to bankruptcy many people lost their job and many people drown in debt, long time ago it was Zhao Li Xin who control the price in market using Hei Shen sect power while he bribe the governments to be quiet and never interfere with his business, everything was good and well until Zhao Li Xin release his claw many people take advantages with the situation and raise the prices when government wants to take control he had no knowledge whatsoever happened under the table and when he does everything already too late.

The Morning court inside the palace is filled with a scream and throwing something, it's happened almost every day the eunuch become accustomed about it. All the officials have eye bags because of the lack of sleep, The Emperor throwing tantrum every day even his Concubines doesn't dare get near him.

The one who got yell the most is Royal Consort Ying, he blamed her for everything he forces her to find Zhao li Xin at all cost and begged for his forgiveness and stop this chaos from happening, of course, the Royal Consort willing but where she can find him. All-powerful Sect in the world had tried to find Hei Shen sect location from years but no one found them how could she a normal woman could do it.

She begged Zhao Qin Feng to find Zhao Li Xin but what can't he do, he doesn't even know where to start, the rumor Hei Shen Sect control every major sector. If Zhao Li Xin doesn't want to be found then no one can find him, even the Ying clan doesn't want to irk Zhao Li Xin's wrath.
