April 23rd, Anqing Lord, Sung, who used to be blamed of connecting with another country secretly, has been released. Same as her mother, the Royal Empress. The same day, Wendy is branded as an Imperial Concubine. The Royal Empress will host the ceremony for Wendy’s new brand in May.
The day, Sean picks Sung out of the jail, he tells him all the things happened while he’s there. Like Wendy has been branded as the Imperial Concubine…
“What?! Does Zhuge know about this??”
Sean nods. Sung feels mad and goes to Zhuge fast.
That time Zhuge is checking his patient, while someone punches him on the face, he looks up it’s Sung., who’s panting and staring at him madly. “Let’s talk inside please!” Zhuge replies calmly then ushers him to the small room behind. Sung calms himself and asks, “Why you didn’t stop her?!” Zhuge sneers, “How? She’s there for you! How could I stop her if she makes her mind already?”
“Well, I don’t need her to do that for me…”
“Really? Just commit Sung, because of her, you can stay here even punch me! Sung, I thought you knew her well, she’s there all for you! We should respect her and her mind, If I stop her then it’s not right!”
Sung listens to him and feels Zhuge changing a lot recently while he’s in jail. Sometimes he feels Zhuge hating him for some reasons. He sneers, “Then how you know I don’t have my way out?? You are the one who thinks too much, Zhuge! You said you were my good friend, but when you try to think on my side?? Without my brother, I wouldn’t even know her and her situation. As my best friend, you don’t even try to tell me the truth! Have you ever asked me what I want, no!! You always make yourself high and nice, like you do this for protecting her, blah blah, don’t you ever think on my side?! I might also stand on your way to protect her and not to see her. Why you think I can’t control myself well enough after I know the truth??”
Zhuge doesn’t reply, somehow Sung is right. Maybe he really is patronizing, and protecting Wendy too much, cause he likes her… a lot. He always dreams about one day Wendy would come to him. However, if he can choose for Wendy, he would choose Sung, all because Wendy loves him deeply. “Yes, you are correct, Sung, maybe…”
That’s Sung, he knows Zhuge is protecting him and he should feel appreciated. However, he doesn’t thank him but complain. So he feels bad too. On the contrary, he really has figured out how to get himself out these days in jail. He could use the reason that General Liu is too old to fight, then replaces him and the King must say yes and let him out. But it’s too late… Wendy has sacrificed herself to ave him out earlier. He doesn’t like the way Zhuge or Wendy think of him, like he is a child or what, needs to be protected that much?! He begins to hate Wendy now, they all don’t know what he wants exactly, and use the wrong to protect him…
