Fallen Devil: The Resurrection of the God of Death

Xia Bao's Request

“Come on my brother, your subordinates are inside. Besides, I want to talk to you about something.”

Lin Xuan then entered into the royal palace unwillingly. After all he wanted to see the condition of Wu Yei who might already be in a conscious state.

Within the kingdom, Lin Xuan could see the interior of the kingdom so majestic. Let alone him sitting on a soft chair with a fragrant fragrance. If the kingdom alone was this luxurious, what about the imperial palace? he didn't think long about it all.

A few seconds later, Wue Yei came out from her break. He showed good condition and is in top condition. It made Lin Xuan feel quite happy if the child was okay.

“Master, I'm back. I'm sorry if I trouble you.” Wue Yei said with regret. But it was lucky for him that all this was done. Even as he woke up and the royal servant explained, he smiled and thought this was not a dream. But what he regretted was actually, Huang Yun senior's death was something that took him a hit. Especially death to save him.

While Lin Xuan nodded, accompanied by a few servants who poured drinks to him and Xia Bao who sat in front of him. Now it was time to relax, but it seemed Xia Bao wanted to say quite seriously.

“Wue Yei, sit down.” Xia Bao.

“Good noble.”

But before that he said many more thanks to Lin Xuan. If not for him, the kingdom might have been destroyed by being held by Xia Zhen who was his cousin's brother who was crazy for the throne.

Indeed, if traced, the throne should have fallen to Xia Zhen who as the son of the eldest son of the kingdom is the father of Zhen. Unfortunately the father of Xia Zhen gave the title of crown prince to Xia Bao. Clearly it made Zhen as his son feel humiliated.

And to date, both the deaths of Xia Zhen's parents are still a mystery and full of conspiracies. Even their deaths were also accompanied by the death of Xia Bao's parents so that the situation grew hotter. But, some say that the deaths of the four of them, was caused by Xia Zhen who indeed had hidden intentions.

“Again I also again said a thousand sorry Lin Xuan. I had time to accuse with a no-no.” accusation

“Yang excellency, get to the point. I know you want to say seriously in front of me.” Said Lin Xuan while sipping the warm drink the servant had just prepared.

“Looks like you're good at guessing.” Answer Xia Bao.

Without speaking much, Xia Bao then spoke his meaning both to Lin Xuan or to the Wu Yei who were near them. “I want to ask for your help to escort my sister Xia Xinran to the imperial palace.”

“Yang noble. There are hundreds of people probably working in the royal palace. But, why should we?”  Asked Lin Xuan with a cynical look.

But Lin Xuan thought, that what the city lord said was true that this was a matter of the princess's safety. The king also did not know about anyone who was a follower of Xia Zhen for all this time. So that what the king feared when he sent the wrong man, the life of the princess would be threatened.

They did not know that if Xia Zhen's followers still had vengeful intentions.

“Sorry your majesty. But, I can't see where the princess is.” Cut off Wu Yei with a face full of questions.

Xia Bao then sighed. He touched her head as if he was having a headache. This made Lin Xuan and Wu Yei stare at each other out of curiosity as to what was really going on.

Xia Bao said, “This is a political issue. Have you ever heard that the empire has three factions to determine who their crown prince is?”

It was clear, with the two wives of the emperor, it was clear that it was unlikely that the first prince of the first wife of the emperor would be the crown prince. Or what happens there will be a split between the other wives. So the emperor made two factions, and if each faction had the strongest followers, then the son of the wife would be appointed crown prince.

It looks fair, but also on the other hand it looks really awful.

“Then, the faction of the second wife and prince Han Yifan targeted my sister. By getting engaged to my sister, then it was already said that Xiazing city became a vassal of prince Han Yifan. It's actually not as simple as you think, first, they actually made an exaggerated approach, giving a lot of help to the Xiazing royal city. And, after the help was excessive, in the end they asked my sister, which is Ran’er as the fiance of prince Han Yifan.” Xia Bao explained.

“I didn't actually refuse, but I asked my sister first. He did agree, and did not refuse, after all who would not want to be married by the emperor's son?. The engagement had happened a few weeks ago, but she finally came home with a sad look, I don't know what happened, but all she said was that she only came home for a while

Lin Xuan and Wu Yei listened carefully to Xia Bao's explanation of his sister's engagement to Prince Han Yifan. They feel increasingly interested in the intrigue and conflict behind this political rivalry.

"So, Prince Han Yifan and the second wife faction are trying to gain the support of Xiazing City by marrying princess Xia Xinran" Lin Xuan said seriously. "However, something happened after the engagement. Your sister came home with a sad face, and you don't know what happened to her."

Xia Bao nodded, a worried expression drawn on his face. "Rubber, I'm very worried about my sister's condition. I tried to ask him, but he refused to give a clear explanation. He just said that he needed time to think and feel burdened with the responsibilities he faced."

Wu Yei added, "It's very strange. There might be something going on behind the scenes that made the princess feel disturbed. We have to figure out what's really going on and help her if she's in trouble."

Lin Xuan actually had no intention of escorting the princess back to the Han empire. It was just that he wanted so badly to head for the empire to search for his pet beast. So that he would not want to go there while driving the princess.

After all he was curious about the ins and outs of imperial politics. When the empire had two factions to choose their crown prince, it was clear that it would invite heavy conflict which they would not be aware of in the future.
