Chapter 141: Identity Exposed

t anymore. He kicked the door impatiently and roared:"What the hell! Behave yourself! Or you'll end up dead, and wouldn't even know how!""Hey man, do me a favor and deliver this message to Zhang Dashu...To Huo Mingliang's surprise, he was given a second chance at life, and it turned out to be as a fugitive prince. He went from being an ordinary nobody to a down-on-his-luck prince in the blink of an eye; even his sleep brought him joy.

Once he understood the world he was in, he felt even more astonished and fortunate. This place turned out to be the world from a novel he had read. For him, it was like having a head start; the space for manipulation was immense.

As a nobody, reading novels was his biggest hobby. He loved stories about weaklings turning the tables and getting revenge. As for why he remembered the world of transmigration novels so vividly, it might be because of Phoenix Nest Country. In that world, women held power, while men stayed at home taking care of household chores.

When he saw this passage, he felt uncomfortable for a moment because he was an absolute male chauvinist who believed that men were inherently superior to women. Even the most capable woman should be subservient to men.

So, when he discovered that his escape destination was the Phoenix Nest Kingdom, he had a vague plan. He wanted to use the Phoenix Nest Kingdom as a springboard to regain everything this body deserved.

A starving camel is bigger than a horse. Because of his royal status, he still had some people around him. Under the planning of these people, Huo Mingliang replaced someone else's identity and entered the inner courtyard of the Third Princess as a small attendant.

Before entering, he had made thorough preparations. He had people secretly investigate three princesses and, after gathering with his staff to analyze the results, concluded that the third princess was the best option.

Because both the eldest and second princesses already have a legitimate husband and concubines, after the period of indulgence in pleasure, they are now focused solely on power struggles. As for the third princess, she was newly married and had no children. If he could secure a position by her side, once the child is born, the child would also become a means to control the third princess.

After having a goal, Huo Mingliang, according to the staff's plan, played to the princess's preferences and approached her casually. He also brought out gambling-related items like mahjong, dice, playing cards, etc., enticing the princess to become addicted to them, thus bringing her closer to him.

The legitimate husband of the Third Princess, Wang, disliked Huo Mingliang very much. However, since they had only recently gotten married and the princess was not yet pregnant, he didn't want to make things too awkward. Moreover, he felt that the Third Princess was just a fleeting infatuation, and he wasn't bothered enough with such a person to argue with him. So he didn't take it to heart, which ironically allowed Huo Mingliang to become even more complacent.

This time, Huo Mingliang even followed the Third Princess into the Imperial Garden of Zhuxiu Yuan. Looking at such an elegant and luxurious garden, a place where only the Empress rested and escaped the summer heat, his jealousy and longing grew even stronger. The greed in his eyes was impossible to conceal. These would all surely belong to him one day.

Because of his status, he was unable to meet the Queen. But thinking about an elderly woman nearing fifty, plagued by ailments, he lost interest and increasingly focused his attention on the Third Princess.

It wasn't until the second month of living in Zhu Xi Yuan that the Third Princess stopped summoning him. At first, he thought it was the legitimate husband who was creating obstacles for him. He could still hold himself together because before his last separation with the Third Princess, he had specifically told her that he had come up with a new way to play, and he was sure that this princess would not be able to resist coming to him.

So Huo Mingliang patiently waited, but after ten days there was still no movement. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and arranged for his confidant to investigate. As a result, his confidant disappeared without a trace and was surrounded by the legitimate husband of the Third Princess.

" Huo Mingliang, you treacherous sycophant! You dare to have your people spy on the Empress's whereabouts Don't you want to live And don't drag the Third Princess down with you!"

Wang had long disliked this flattering man. Now, with a guard from the Empress's side here to arrest him, he was overjoyed. He said this to clear the Third Princess of suspicion.

After all, this person has been favored by the Third Princess recently, which is well-known. If he bites at this time, they will have no good ending, especially when the Third Princess is not around.

Huo Mingliang muttered to himself, "Oh no!"

But he cried out his innocence and tried to leave a message, waiting for the Third Princess to come save him. He refused to believe that his loyal subordinate would be so careless as to run off to investigate the Empress' whereabouts when he had explicitly told them to find the Third Princess.

Huo Mingliang didn't even have a chance to resist, and was directly brought before Lian Yi.

"Lift your head! Let me see, what color of man is it that has bewitched my third daughter to the point she doesn't even know her own name"

Hearing a serene yet commanding voice, Huo Mingliang initially intended to gather his emotions before raising his head. However, the female warrior escorting him from behind grabbed his hair and forcefully pulled him back, exposing his face before everyone. His gaze met that of the Empress seated at the head of the gathering.

But the queen was completely different from what he imagined. There was not a trace of aging or decrepitude. Her skin was smooth and delicate, her face beautiful and majestic, and she exuded an unparalleled noble air. Her crimson embroidered gown made her even more captivating.

"Tsk tsk, look at this little nose and eyes, he doesn't look like a prince at all!"

Liàn Yī looked at Hòu Míngliàng and said, straight to the point.

As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects their inner self. Although his shell belonged to Pan Long Kingdom's Fifth Prince, his core was that of a down-to-earth, penniless nobody from another time. Some things cannot be concealed. Without sixteen years of royal upbringing and education, one cannot cultivate that aura, that air of nobility.

That's why the Third Princess didn't give him any official title, and Wang shi, the legitimate wife, didn't pay him any mind. However, Lianyi would never underestimate any opponent, after all, this fellow succeeded last time, overthrowing the Fengqi Kingdom.

This naturally includes the original owner clinging to power, causing endless strife between the princesses and severe internal conflict, giving him an opportunity. However, it is undeniable that the other party has the ability to see openings and sow discord behind the scenes.

After taking the three princesses away, she began to crush this scourge.

Ho Ming-liang was startled by this, he didn't expect the queen to know his identity. But he wouldn't just sit and wait for death, he immediately said:

"Queen"

... Before he could even utter a word, Lian Ri directly ordered:

>>>>

"Since he could be so eloquent as to ensnare the Third Princess in gambling and so skilled at writing stories to beguile people's hearts, then silence him with poison, sever his tendons! Let him live, but force him to negotiate with the Panlong Nation."

"Spare the Queen!"

Huo Mingliang was truly astonished. He didn't expect to be treated this way. It would be better to die than this, he thought, maybe he could even reincarnate. With a burst of effort, he actually broke free from the martial officer's grasp and crashed into the pavilion pillar.

The wise lord detests this man greatly. Now that the empress has publicly humiliated him, anyone with sense will understand the gravity of the situation. Thus, he truly cannot die within the Phoenix Nest Nation, especially under the empress's orders.

So the wise servant threw the wine cup in his hand, smashing it against the other's ankle. This caused the other to stagger, losing their momentum, and then they were again seized by the martial artist.rom the city and uninhabited, making it difficult to be found here.Huo Ming entered the wooden hut and deliberately checked where he had hidden his food. He found that the rice, noodles, and half-cook...
