LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 30 - Chaos

Across the country when Ryu and Hu Yazhu were in the Tao Tribe, both were charged with a number of senseless slander. Even King Wen could not help them when Consort Fan Hai paid some of the people to break into the Palace and asked to serve the punishment for Hu Yazhu and Ryu Ito. The atmosphere was so precarious yet Ryu and Hu Yazhu still did not return to the Palace, even Consort Fan Hai had already sent some soldiers to raid the Ito Family home.

Concubine Fan Hai revealed Ryu's true identity coming from a psychic family to King Wen, because King Wen did not believe in his wife's words, Consort Fan Hai acted alone and then ransacked Ryu's house and forced Ryu Ito's family to face the Emperor.

The situation was so chaotic when the soldiers surrounded Grandpa Asahi's Shop. It was fortunate that there was still Huo Sijue and his group to stop the search that was not based on the Ito Family. "Why are you laying siege to this shop?"

Wen Jia exited her carriage then faced Huo Sijue while shaking the hand fan she was carrying. "On the basis of rebellion! You will also be in prison on charges of obstructing the investigation! Soldiers, search everything and if they obstruct General Ping's call with his army to eliminate this store!"

"Daughter, you can't accuse without proof!"

"Who said? How does the ministry of law proceed with this process if we have no hard evidence? If not, where is Miss Ryu now? At least he had to explain that he was innocent!"

Huo Sijue gritted his teeth as he clenched his hands tightly. "He's looking for the Royal Commander!"

"Reason! Fleeing after carrying out the rebellion, the Kingdom would definitely punish them severely! A death sentence of three times would not even be enough to punish a traitor of the Kingdom!"

"Give me some time, I'll find him and bring Ryu to the Kingdom!" Huo Sijue tightened the sword in his hand then turned his head back gesturing to his men.

"Alright, I will wait for you at the Palace!"

Wen Jia and the soldiers returned to the Main Palace reporting their duties to his mother as well as King Wen. Inside that cold room King Wen was silent sitting staring out the window. The moment Wen Jia entered, she simply gave an indifferent cold gaze. "Dad, I'll take care of it to the root."

"The evidence isn't strong enough yet, but you and your mother have already announced it to the entire empire! What's your goal?" King Wen glanced towards Jia who was smiling subtly at him.

"Dad, crown me soon to be Crown Princess I will definitely not disappoint you and will instantly eradicate the traitor of our Kingdom!"

King Wen shook his head, his body so weak after drinking one steeping of tea that Consort Fan Hai had made before. Because his affection for the Concubine made him close his eyes to the truth that he should have seen long ago.

King Wen snorted softly. "No, I believe Commander Hu will not be a traitor."

On the other hand, Ryu who had just gotten a gentle kiss from Hu Yazhu then released the man's snare. Making the atmosphere of the two become awkward, Hu Yazhu immediately turned his gaze away he did not dare to look directly at Ryu's already flushed face.

"How do you think of me now? As Ryu your future mercenary wife or Wen Yijin the missing Crown Princess?" Wen Yijin retreated a few steps and aimed at Hu Yazhu.

Ryu nodded, he understood what Hu Yazhu would do about it. Then not long before they got the news that the two had become fugitives for the kingdom and after hearing the news they immediately prepared to return to the Palace to meet King Wen Lei and tell him the details. Hu Yazhu rode the horse along with Ryu in front of him, followed by the rest of his other soldiers.

Before going to the Palace Ryu decides to go to the tavern because he is worried something happened to his family. Arriving there Ryu was stunned to see Grandpa Asahi's Shop had been damaged by an attack from Royal soldiers. He also saw Huo Sijue and his troops lying down inside the tavern, Sijue who was leaning back while holding his aching stomach then immediately stood up when he saw Ryu enter the Shop.

Grandpa Asahi remained calm while Akira cried over the incident they had just experienced. True what Master Tao said, this time the time has come and Ryu must immediately reveal his true identity before the Father and also the people of Wen Kingdom. This shadow seemed like the events in his previous life, Ryu who was considered a rebel, King Wen who was poisoned, his adoptive family who suffered everything was exactly the same as in his old life.

Ryu clenched his hands and carried a sword so sharp on his waist. "Commander Hu, prepare an army to fight the rebels!"

"Your Majesty," Hu Yazhu replied. Akira and Huo Sijue who saw Hu Yazhu obediently glaring at Ryu's words, they did not understand what was really going on between the two. But, Grandpa Asahi certainly already knew clearly, he walked closer towards Ryu then hugged her slowly. "The only evidence that you are the Crown Princess has been stolen. Grandfather is sure, they'll act faster than we thought."

"It's okay, Kek, I believe the inner bond is stronger than that little thing" Ryu said.

Huo Sijue walked over and furrowed his brows. "Ryu, explain it to me! I was about to look for you, but General Ping's army directly attacked your grandfather's shop! Sorry, I let you down!" Sijue held Ryu hand in his grasp, his scar-filled face left Ryu touched and feeling sad.

Before Ryu's hand came to stroke Sijue's cheek, Hu Yazhu's sword first floated over the young man's shoulder even with a gaze so resentful of Commander Hu Yazhu asking Sijue to release his Crown Princess. "Don't act immorally on Crown Princess Royal Wen! Get your hands off!"

"Commander Hu, let it go! He is my best friend, he is the exception to all the rules of the Palace!" Ryu gently stroked Huo Sijue's cheek and wiped the fresh blood coming out from the man's mouth tear. "Please take Grandpa and Akira to safety. Once everything is done I'll meet you and explain everything!"

Huo Sijue was reluctant to let go of his hand on Ryu, he felt like there was going to be something bad going on in the Palace this time. "Be careful!"

Ryu nodded and immediately left with Hu Yazhu towards the Palace. Inside the Palace, things had already been extremely chaotic. Consort Fan Hai and the Weaponry Officer had already prepared the rebel soldiers in the basement to attack and seize power from the hands of King Wen Lei. Ryu's Pheonix hairpin turned out to be taken by Wen Jia, he brought the object to his mother and so saw the golden pointed object, the golden-colored object, Consort Fan Hai was wide-eyed and immediately made another plan before Ryu entered the Palace.

"Damn it, it's Wen Yijin! It's worth the attitude that's so arrogant!"

"My dear, if she's right the missing Crown Princess then we can't pity her anymore. He must die before our own eyes." The weaponry official gently touched Consort Fan Hai's hand.

"We must immediately kill the Emperor!"

"Mother, don't kill father no matter how much Jia loves him!" Wen Jia shook her head and disagreed with her mother's decision.

Consort Fan Hai who was so emotionless instantly slapped Jia's cheek hard. "Based on a stupid kid! He's not your father, your father is him!" the woman pointed to the Weaponry Officer as Jia's biological father and that was indeed a fact.
