LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 49 - Border

The night was so cold, the wind gently swung the window curtain that was deliberately made open by Yijin. Before the event was over, Hu Yazhu quickly went to the border to see the situation. Tonight, Yijin, who was supposed to enjoy a good night with Hu Yazhu, decided to stay in the room, he decided it was better to meditate to perfect the Qi he had than to do nothing.

In order to achieve high knowledge, he had to practice often before actually studying with Xiao later. Royal affairs must also be temporarily handed over to Prime Minister Su. One day, two days, a week, two weeks even a month had already passed Yijin without Hu Yazhu. Only letters have been their communication tool all along.

The situation at the border has become increasingly precarious, the military forces have begun to lack food. Not to mention the Long Kingdom that was continuously attacking, Hu Yazhu did not say that the Kingdom was assisted by the demon incarnation that was now the Empress Prince Long. Until finally, after refining his Qi, Yijin decided to follow Hu Yazhu across the border and bring food to the military camp.

"Your Majesty are you sure you will continue on this journey?" ask the Servant of Yijin.

"Of course, just hearing the story behind the letter was unsatisfactory. I alone must witness why the Long Kingdom became such a rebel."

Two days of travel safely, strangely every morning there is always a flower placed in front of the door of Yijin's horse-drawn carriage. No one knows where the flower came from, but Yijin still likes it. The personalities of Yijin and Ryu before ascending the throne had already changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.

Ryu who used to always look cheerful, excited and also a little bit of nutrition has turned into a firm, ambitious Yijin also a little talkative. He no longer laughed as often as he used to, all Yijin had in mind now was the government and his people not even rarely he forgot what he wanted.

He has changed and arranged things several times according to what he wants, but the more he is like that the more officials and ministers who challenge him. Not infrequently they still send the servants to serve Yijin even though he had dissolved the Harem Palace.

After arriving at the Military Camp, Yijin descended and was warmly welcomed by Hu Yazhu as well as his soldiers. A sweet smile was engraved on Hu Yazhu's face which was now impatient to hug his wife. "The emperor must be very tired, the servant will escort the Emperor to the tent to rest."

"Thank you General Great."

The two of them immediately went into the tent, where Hu Yazhu could no longer hold back the anxiety he felt. How not, this time the problem is not that easy. The demon incarnations that some people have not seen until now, just that many strange disturbances that have attacked the soldiers several times. Like a skin disease that suddenly attacked them and also some soldiers who were frightened to look insane. Now, only nine hundred of the thousand guards were brought to the border.

"Yijin my wife, why do you have to go here? In the palace alone is not safe especially here, how can I ensure your safety?"

"Hu Yazhu, if you are not calm. Wouldn't it be better to let me stay here with you?" yijin Proposal.

"What about the palace? Did you really entrust it to Prime Minister Su?" Hu Yazhu grasped Yijin's hand and watched the woman's pale-looking countenance.

"Yes, but calm down. There's still a grandfather watching everything. He's my real confidant, the Prime Minister just for formality."

Hu Yazhu shook her head. "You're too rash. But since you're already here, I hope you don't go far from the military camp. Some people experience a strange skin disease that appears suddenly, also some others look frightened like people are not sane."

Yijin widened, he did not expect the situation to be this hot. "Can I see it directly? Tell them that I am a healer sent directly by the emperor!"

"Yijin, I won't let you in any danger!" Hu Yazhu clearly disagreed, this rare disease that appeared suddenly was a dispatch disease. What if Yijin later contracted and became ill, he really would not forgive himself if that happened.

"Grand General, isn't your soldier's life important as well? You better put forward your task than your feelings for now. Don't you trust me?" Yijin patted Hu Yazhu's shoulders gently and calmed her down. After Hu Yazhu agreed he called each one of the several people affected by the skin disease and was afraid to meet Yijin who performed as a healer.

Inside the tent, Yijin immediately checked what skin diseases were actually attacking his soldiers. After studying, the disease looks like chickenpox which is more severe than usual. The skin is getting blistered and the wound is widened until the sufferer is no longer strong to withstand the pain as well as itching. Now some people who experience this disease are even secured in a special tent so as not to spread everywhere.

"Have you guys checked the tanks for the soldiers' supplies? I see, this disease is not contagious. It's just, the wound is quite severe and can make them crazy for experiencing painful things like this.

I will make a special potion that can be used in the bath at once. But, this will not take place quickly should be used several times can be healed completely. For now, please order the few remaining soldiers to build a pool of warm water baths that will later be mixed with the medicinal herbs I made."

"Good General!"

After immediately leaving the place, Yijin now checked the condition of the man who was experiencing prolonged hysterics. The deafening sound boomed inside the tent as the man screamed and ran around like an insane person. Yijin asked the other soldiers to hold the man, he took out a jade necklace and focused the man's gaze on the object he was holding.

"Maintain his position, let him see this jade for a while!"

The man's eyes also moved to the right and left according to the jade groove, not long Yijin said a few sentences that he believed could cure the anxiety inside the man. "Conscious! You live for your family, fighting against the enemy is a noble thing, being a Great General soldier is honor and being a shield for the kingdom is a blessing!"

The man quietly followed Yijin's words. "War against the enemy is a noble thing, to be a Great General's soldier is honor and to be a shield for the kingdom is a blessing."

Instantly the man fell down and fainted, after more or less one incense the man had awakened and his consciousness had returned. He looked confused while in the tent which was now surrounded by the Great General and the others. Yijin smiled at the man as well as Hu Yazhu who smirked softly at his wife. "Thank you General, Physician...."

"Rij!" sahut Yijin firmly.

"Tabib Ryu, thank you."

"What were the symptoms you felt before?" ask Yijin.

"That night, we were on patrol and then one of us wanted to pee and went into the woods. There appeared a big snake that was about to eat us so that it frightened us and after that we do not remember anything else!"

Hu Yazhu frowned. "You sure? I didn't hear any commotion or the big snake you just told me about."

Yijin gently touched Hu Yazhu's arm, he already understood what those people were going through. Afterwards, Yijin asked the man out and left him and Hu Yazhu both inside the tent. "General, they're exposed to witchcraft. This black magic is really strong as if it signifies the existence of demonic incarnations around here."

"The emperor is clever, sorry that I haven't told you this fully. Rumor has it that the Long Kingdom used the incarnation of a demon to attack us." Hu Yazhu pulled Yijin's waist and embraced the woman in her arms.

"really? Then please schedule a meeting with Prince Long. I am still an Emperor, they still have to obey the imperial edict! All at once, I want to teach our little friend that one a lesson!"

Hu Yazhu nodded slowly. "Well, everything will be done according to the orders of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Thank you, you are faithful." Yijin gently stroked Hu Yazhu's hair making the man blush in embarrassment.

"If you're around me like this, I can't be sure that I can hold back my longing for you." Hu Yazhu held Yijin and carried her to her desk while Yijin clasped her hands around Hu Yazhu's neck.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, someone wants to see you" said Xie, Yijin's servant.

Yijin looked at Hu Yazhu and watched the man for a moment, then got off the table and immediately met the person meant by Xie.

After half a year, he finally met with that view again. White man with his hair. Yijin gasped and immediately his body pegged, "Advisor Bei?" ogre.
