West Border
After being pushed back by the Lan family, Lan Gao Ya stayed quiet in her place and waited patiently. Ye Lei had come to accompany her and allow her to use the force as she wished. As the two of them sat comfortably, the battle was still going on.
Ye Lei listened as the servants tell him the news about the Nanglong family and the one in the Ming Kingdom. He smiled deviously.
"It's time to go to the North Border. You will take care of the things here," Ye Lei stood up.
"I understand," Lan Gao Ya answered.
As the man walked farther, she stared at his back feeling slightly stifled. It seemed the end of Ming Kingdom would be near and she could take her revenge towards the emperor too. Everything seemed to go in the right way for her.
She smiled towards the guards. "Finish the battle today."
The battle against Ming Kingdom turned into a brutal fight that day. The number of causalities on two sides' increased rapidly as the two sides clashed. Looking towards the unfavorable battle fight, Lan Teng quickly sensed that something was amiss.
The battle continued and Lan Teng did his best to fend them off with his limited capabilities. He needed to make sure that they held on long enough for his son to go.
"That woman… she makes a secret passage."
Lan Teng finally understood why Lan Gao Ya gave up this fortress. This was because she had made the way to capture it swiftly. In the end, the Ming Kingdom lost and Lan Teng was captured while Lan Ping disappeared.
When the servants told the news to Lan Gao Ya, the woman smiled slightly. After the son, she got her hands on the father. The one who ordered the massacred to her family was this person, and she wouldn't let him get away with it.
Walking to the prison, she quickly found the battered Lan Teng. Because of the fight with Jun Zhenxian in the past, he had lost one of his arm, and his foot was not like the past anymore. He was no longer the great general and more like a normal soldier. If not for his feet, there was no way Lan Gao Ya could capture the other party.
Lan Teng raised his head to look at Lan Gao Ya. He sneered. "How is it felt for you to sell your body for power?"
"Oh, I didn't know that you still have so much energy," Lan Gao Ya said coldly. "It seems the fight where you lost is not enough to make your spirit withered."
Lan Teng didn't answer. The girl in front of him has changed so much, she reminds him of someone from his past, a person whom he could never beat no matter how hard he tried, his own perfect brother.
Lan Peng has everything he didn't have and the power of the Lan family was in his hand. For years, he eyed the power, but never got it in the end. He would never imagine that the power would be in the hand of someone that previously so insignificant.
"I would not let you get away from this place alive," Lan Gao Ya said calmly. "For what you did to my father and mother, I can't let you go."
"You better do it quickly," Lan Teng smirked. "Because I'm not one who will pardon people easily, for what you do to my son, you will get the retribution."
"Why don't you try it?" Lan Gao Ya raised her eyebrows.
Lan Teng just stayed quiet. "You will not get what you desire. The emperor would not fall to your hand."
"Not me, but my husband," Lan Gao Ya smiled mirthlessly. "Do you even know that people who schemes against the emperor cannot be counted in one hand anymore? The Jun family, Nanglong family, Prince Ming Yan, Prince Ming Kui, Prince Ye Lei, Prince-Emperor Mou, me, and many others, we are all have our own scheme against the emperor."
If it was the two families, he had heard the recent news, but he didn't understand why Ming Kui and Ming Yan were included. It seemed the ability of Lan Gao Ya is far more than what he knew. Not to mention that there was actually someone from other kingdoms.
Lan Gao Ya looked at him with pity. "You try to replicate the power of the Lan family, but you're too idiot to do it. You might not realize it, the number of spies I have cannot be counted anymore."
Lan Ten looked towards the woman coldly. "You can be happy now, but you shouldn't be happy too soon. The emperor would not be as foolish to follow your lead."
"You will see it in the future."
Given how confident the girl was, Lan Teng knew that it must be something really bad for them. However, his condition didn't allow him to give the warning to the emperor. He can only stay quiet here and hoping for the plan successful. Because he was looking down, Lan Gao Ya didn't notice that he was smiling.
Lan Gao Ya looked at the guard. "Finish him in a long way."
"Yes Princess."
Walking back to the residence, Lan Gao Ya ordered the servants to prepare a meal for her. Lan Teng would be finished by the guards and she didn't need to bother with him anymore.
"Too bad that Lan Ping is not captured," she wanted to see how that cousin of hers would fare if he were to undergo the torture again.
Eating the meal calmly, she walked to her room and has some rest. Ye Lei would not return until the plan is over and it will be better for her to save her energy. Before she went to sleep, she got the news that the torture for Lan Teng was finished, and he was no longer alive.
The next morning, she felt that her stomach felt sick, and her body unable to move according to her will. Her face paled considerably as she quickly called for the doctor, which said that she was poisoned.
"What kind of poison?" Lan Gao Ya asked with fury.
"It's an internal and slow poison," the doctor explained. "But the cure for this poison only exists in the Mountain Kingdom."
Lan Gao Ya wanted to shout to Lan Teng, what a good method he had prepared.
She gritted her teeth in anger as she asked. "How much time I have?"
"Two weeks."
Two weeks would not be enough for her to get the medicine because the distance to go there alone would take at least three weeks from here. Besides, she couldn't guarantee that there would be anyone who was willing to help her.
'Jun Hua is there.'
Her mind remembered the little lass that she met in the forest, but she didn't want to have any dealings with her anymore. There must be another way for her to find the cure without asking for help from the Jun Family.
Dismissing the doctor, she threw a fit inside her room and order her servants to get the cure as soon as possible while at the same time found the one who poisons her. That afternoon, she got news that one of the eunuch died. She quickly checked on him, which made her felt even angrier.
The 'eunuch' was Lan Ping. He had sneaked into her side without her knowing and poisoned her food. The Lan family was hell-bent to not let her go and the last method they used was something this wonderful. Lan Gao Ya gnashed her teeth.
"Found the cure! I will not let their trick succeeded!" she would not allow herself to die before her revenge was finished. She would see things to the end.
