Once again Zhao Li Xin was carried by palanquin, he used to not care about this but now he wishes he can just walk normally side by side with his little savior, Zhao Li Xin face turns somber he start to feel stupid keeping up this façade it's not like he scared with the Emperor and his cronies.

They walk pass through the stone moon gate then enter 'Refined beauty' courtyard just like the name everyone wears a beautiful uniform dress all the maids inside is a lot more beautiful than normal maids. They smile coquetishly when they saw Zhao Li Xin some even giggles with shy expression but contrary to his reaction with Lory coquettish acted this women's behavior only makes him nauseated, he does not hide his disgusted to them make all the women embarrassed and perplexed.

Just like their Lord Mong Ki and Mong also maintained their indifferent expression, they used to visit the vermilion palace for Zhao li Xin and they had seen a lot of beautiful women in there, whatever type of beauty vermillion palace have it. The women not only beautiful and witty they also deathly.

Surrounded by women like that make the mong's brother numb by the beauty inside this courtyard, but that's "Let's go then…."not the same with Lory, she feels she was attended 'beauty pageant' everyone's is so beautiful with their lace and frill uniform they wave their beautiful fan with small bead dangling on the bottom of the handle, they giggles and whispering as if they talk about funt things and yet she sees the Mong brother are indifferent and Zhao Li Xin look like he constipated.

The maids and eunuch stunned when they see Lory walk beside Zhao Li Xin Palanquin, everyone knows how much Zhao Li Xin hated young maids, every time Royal Consort send a maid for him none of them have a good ending. Some died from beating, some got crippled and some just disappeared on the thin air, no matter how angry Royal Consort with Zhao Li Xin behavior his attitude never changed, until it's scarred all the maids who are going to send there only then Royal Consort Ying give up her idea and never send anyone anymore.

Lory feels she like a monkey in the zoo everyone watching her then whisper to each other some even looks at him with pity. She really can't understand people in this world. When they almost reach the front door Royal Consort Ying chamber the eunuch shout loudly "Your Highness sixth prince is arrived" the sudden shout make Lory jolt, she doesn't know there a custom like this in Royal Palace.

Zhao Li Xin feels bad when he saw her shocking face, he also finds this custom annoying and unnecessary he then glares at the young eunuch who was shouted previously but he doesn't know what he had done wrong. Zhao Li Xin descend from the palanquin, he raised his hand sign Lory to help him, Lory quickly holds his arms to help him acted as weakling seems like she got 'supporting role' this time.

Right in front of the door, he gazes at Lory with meaningful looks "Stay here…."

"Understood" Lory bow respectfully she tries her best not to called him your highness although he would allow her in this situation but if she can avoid she won't do it. Her understanding comfort Zhao Li Xin's heart tremendously. He gave the 'look' to the Mong's brothers meaning 'take care of her', The mong's Brother understand and nodded their head.

Lory feel the air inside the chamber is chill and intimidating and Zhao Li Xin face turns to dark and stern is not like a son expression meeting his mother, her heart tremble with worried maybe she should not ask him to take her to attend the Banquet, Lory feel guilty and remorse, she can't stop thinking how stupid she is.

When Zhao Li Xin enters the room, he sees his mother silhouette behind the red curtains the woman always take a long time putting on her makeup, he doesn't know what's different would make from adding more powder on her face. zhao Li Xin sneered watching the maids put more hairpin on the consort hair the hair styles looks heavy for Zhao Li Xin tasted. But know where this behavior coming from, his mother getting old her beauty start to wither at the same time she must fighting for the Emperor favor from the younger women inside the harem she even so desperate she took a lot of beautiful servants just to make his lascivious Father enter her courtyard she also let her maid to 'served' the emperor in her owned room, how crazy is that.

When he sees his mother finish with her makeup Zhao Li Xin flicked his robes and kneeled in front of her "This son's greeting Royal Consort mother" Zhao Li Xin cupped his fist, his head keeps looking down courteously. Consort Ying ignore Zhao Li Xin she took her time to sits on the chair while her maids pour warmed tea for her, she even took a time to smell the tea fragrant as if she does not sees his son kneeling not too far from her.

Zhao Li Xin used with her behavior, he less than care for her. Royal Consort Ying feel upset every time she saw her weak Son's but then she met with Xiang Wu Ci and make lucrative deal with her, something that can help her become Empress dowager because of it she doesn't lash out to her weak son like she used to.

"Raise…." She said eventually. This show of power is like a joke for him if he wants to he can kill her with the flick of his finger.

"What took you so long, you become more and more impudent after long years away from the Palace" her anger rise again when she remembered a servant told her Zhao Li Xin to delay his visit, she never knew her weak son can be so bold.

Zhao Li Xin smirk inwardly, isn't her who make him left the palace from the first place "I'm deeply sorry mother, this one heath is getting worse so he needs more time to recuperate" Zhao Li Xin plead with remorse make Royal Consort Ying annoyed how weak her son is, is he so weak why is he not death yet.....so annoying.

"If you not well why are you not stay at your manor, you just make trouble for everyone here!!" she berated Zhao Li Xin, she always lost her patience when she talks with her sixth Son.

Lory can hear clearly their voice from outside the door, it's only wooden door after all it had no soundproof. Lory eyebrow frow her heart aching for him, how could his mother treat him like this, hearing the rumor it's different compare to see it with her own eyes, her guilty grew deeper she should never let him enter the palace ever again.

Inside the chamber, royal consort Ying sips her tea to calmed her anger "Master Xiang Wu Ci wants you to marry his daughter" she put down her cup tea "Xiang Feng Ran is beautiful and talented woman, even I wonder why she wants to marry you" Royal Consort Ying said with ridiculed "I want you to marry her, The emperor will release decree for both of you, take it as good fortune for you"

Zhao Li Xin's hand clenched tightly, he doesn't want Luo Ri Yi to hear about this and misunderstood. Well, Lory hear it her face turns pale her she feels someone poked her heart with a knife, her eyes become hot, she doesn't know why she had the urged to cry and left but before her tears fall she heard Zhao Li Xin speak.

I refuse…." he said calmly.

"What did you said" Riyal Consort Ying glared with disbelieved.

"I won't marry that crazy woman" he said casually.

Royal Consort Ying throw her teacup to his face, Zhao Li Xin tilted his head swiftly dodging the flying cup. His ability to dodged easily stunned Royal Consort Ying, even though she not a talented cultivator she is still cultivator at warrior level and Zhao Li Xin is only a waste how could he dodged her attack, her suspicion rising "You dare to refuse…" she question him with an icy glare.

"I dare..." Zhao Li Xin's face remains placid, there's no worries or fear on his face.

"You change...can you cultivated know?" she probes Zhao Li Xin. She wants to know where is that confidence coming from. Her weak Son's never refuted her before.

Zhao Li Xin smiles "I never change mother, I always the same…."

She stared at her son's dark cold eyes she can't see anything reflected from those beautiful eyes, no anger, sadness, fear or anxiety. It's like staring at the night sky without moon and stars, just darkness. She suddenly feels her spine runs chilled for the first time she scarred with her own Son's. She doesn't understand why she suddenly scared with him, why must she fear him she shakes her head to calm herself.

"You will marry Xiang Feng Ran, after you married her used Ming Hua Sect to support your fifth brother. You will help him become the next Emperor" her demand is absolute she does not give Zhao Li Xin a chance to reject.

Zhao Li Xin's mouth curved it was sinister smiles that make the room temperature froze, the maids beside Royal Consort Ying shiver with fear and so Royal Consort Ying. She doesn't recognize the man in front of her, this man is not her weak Son he is a devil coming from hell to collect his debt, Royal Consort Ying feels sudden regret provoking her son.

"As you wish…." Zhao Li Xin bow respectfully, he left the room before Royal Consort Ying have time to say anything.

"Let's go!" he commanded the mong's brother and Lory to follow him.

"Your highness your palanquin….." a young eunuch speak anxiously.

"Leave it!!" he not even looks at the young eunuch, he holds Lory's hands and left the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Royal Consort Ying legs become jelly she slumps on her chair with cold sweat she feels ver bad premonition, the maids lean on the table or in the wall they feel their soul almost flew away, they all wondered is that really the weak Sixth Prince.

Lory tries her best to follow his pace but then she stumbles to the ground luckily Zhao Li Xin holds her waist swiftly, he feels guilty when he sees her forehead cover with sweat "I'm sorry, are you okay?" he wiped her forehead gently with his sleeve.

Lory nodded her head but she still panting, make him more guilty it's all because his mother infuriated him beyond believed, seems like he must hasten his plan "Mong Ki" he called

"Milord!" Mong ki moves forward while cupping his fist.

"Called Bei Li Yan, tell him to brings his flower…..tell him this Lord wants to see Red"

Mong Ki and Mong Yi stunned they feel chill all over their body, this time Royal Consort Ying has puss his limit she has angered their Lord tremendously, they don't know what kinda calamity would befall this country, this is so exciting and frightening at the same time.
