In an abandoned forest, there is a hut house in the middle of the forest. Inside the hut, there is a man wearing all black standing looking at a picture.
" Master. We couldn't contact our people in the Yan empire anymore. It seems that they get into a problem."
" Hmm. Don't worry about it, there going to be a war soon." The man in black clothes walks out of the house and disappears.
----------
Feng Mansion.
There are noise sounds like screaming and yelling. Every servant was cleaning the yard as there were a lot of birds who died.
" What is the noise and what happens?" Old Madam Feng scolded the servants.
" Old Madam, there is a lot of bird died in the guest courtyard." A servant report.
" Why are there so many birds died in the guest courtyard."
The guest courtyard is connected near Feng Wu's courtyard. There are fake rocks and trees near surround a pond. It would give guests peaceful scenery. Now the scenery of the guest courtyard doesn't look pretty anymore.
" Mother, what happened? Why there--- Ah!" Concubine Li exclaim and gasp as she cover her mouth when she saw the scene.
" Mother, this is a bad omen. It's a sign from heaven." Concubine Yi exclaim.
Old Madam Feng knows what they thought. She sighs.
"What's wrong?" Feng Wen came to the guest courtyard.
" Master. There is nothing. It's just some bird that dies." Concubine Li tries to smooth the atmosphere.
" Sister, why are you saying it nothing when there are so many birds die with a reason in the guest courtyard. If people know they will say us, the Feng clan are jinxed." Concubine Yi adding oil to the fire.
" Mother, maybe we need to invite a master to come to do a ritual to get rid of bad luck." Concubine Yi said in a concerned face.
" Sis----."
" Let do what concubine Yi says. To find a good Taoist priest to do a ritual for our Feng mansion." Feng Wen glance at the scene and Old Madam Feng.
"Go ahead." Old Madam Feng sighs and turns to walk back to her rest place.
Concubine Li and concubine Yi look at each other and smile coldly.

Xiao Li ran to the Lotus courtyard and saw Feng Wu drinking tea at the table.
" Yong miss! There was a problem!"
" Hmm?" Feng Wu looks at the doors with her hand holding the teacup.
" There is a lot of bird die in the guest courtyard and they say is a bad omen." Xiao Li said angrily. She knows what it means just by the servant's words.
" I know." Feng Wu put down her teacup on the table.
She thought; ' I guess, concubine Li want to use this trick to frame me. But I didn't know what reason concubine Li do this for? I think I need to act according to her plan to know what is concubine Li's purpose is.'
" Just act normal for now since I'm mute and can't talk. We don't want to scare the snake before hitting." Feng Wu went back to read her books.
----------
Wang Palaces.
Eunuch Fen ran toward the emperor's study room. He looks at emperor Wang. The emperor Wang looks like he is still 40s to 45s years old even though his age is a little bit older than 45s. He wears a dark red and black colors robe with a gold jade brass coronet crown. His face is cold with dark cold eyes. The third prince does resemble emperor Wang very much right now as Eunuch Fen thought.
" Your Majesty! There is bad news!" Eunuch Fen went to give the report to emperor Wang.
" Hmm. Leave it there. Go invite the third prince to the palaces." Emperor Wang said in a deep voice.
**
Wang Yanlin got news from the palaces that he got invited by the emperor to visit. So he got dressed up and ride the carriage into the palaces. He never goes to the palaces unless something serious happens. The palaces always remind him of his empire mother.
**
Palaces.
In the emperor Wang study room, the atmosphere is tense but it is interrupted by Wang Yanlin's presence when he walks in.
" Prince Lin." Eunuch Fen greets by bending thirty-degree with two hands hold together.
" Your majesty." Wang Yanlin salute by kneeling and holding a fist.
" You may raise." Wang Yanlin gets up and stands by.
" There a news coming from the broader, say there is something going on in Yan empire broader. I think we might need to get prepared for war." Emperor Wang looking at Wang Yanlin.
" If there really is something going on then we will prepare for the war."
" Okay then next two weeks, you need to get ready for leave to the broader. You will lead the army. You are my only son that I can believe and have faith in." Emperor Wang scares Wang Yanlin to refuse so he quickly says the last sentence.
Wang Yanlin thought of his mother's last words before she died. She says do not to blame his father as he is an emperor, not just a husband. Wang Yanlin sneers in his heart.
" I will get ready." Wang Yanlin said coldly with cold eyes.

After a couple of days, Old Madam Feng invites a master to come to do a ritual for the Feng Mansion. Everything was going smooth until...
" Who lives near the guest courtyard?" The Taoist priest asks.
" Why? What is wrong, master?" Old Madam Feng asks back instead of answering.
" It's our first miss live near the guest courtyard." Concubine Yi's answer.
Feng Wu just walk into the guest courtyard when she hear concubine Yi's words and went to greet Old Madam Feng.
"Yao Yao, why did you come here? You should just stay in your courtyard." Old Madam Feng holds Feng Wu's hand.
" Old Madam Feng, young miss want to visit you but you are not at your courtyard so young miss came to the guest courtyard to see the noise." Xiao Li answer.
The Taoist priest looks at Feng Wu's face and glances at Old Madam Feng.
" You guy should take her to go live outside of the Feng Mansion for a couple of years so that the bad omen go away."
Everybody gasps.
" Ha....!!"
"W...what...are you saying?" Old Madam Feng asks in tremble voices.
" Yes, Taoist master, what do you mean?" Concubine Li asks in concerned voice.
" Aha...!! Are you saying eldest miss is jinx? OMG!" Concubine Yi exclaims and cover her mouth.
Old Madam Feng glance at Feng Wu.
" Yao Yao, go back to your courtyard."
Feng Wu look at Old Madam Feng and glance coldly at the concubines and she went back to her courtyard with Xiao Li following.
Both concubines are stunned as they didn't think Feng Wu would look at them with that cold gaze.
