One night, in Long country.
Han Xi was busy with some documents in his reading room. Before long, a bird came from the window with a scroll tied to its feet.
He then got up from his seat and walked over to the bird. The large enough scroll was released slowly. After that, Han Xi started reading it.
Suddenly, he immediately widened his eyes as he began to read the contents of the scroll. A moment later he immediately rolled back the scroll and hurried away from his room.
Han Xi walked with quick steps. His feelings became unsettled after reading the scroll. "I must immediately tell the Emperor's father," he murmured inwardly.
Moments later, he arrived in front of his father's reading room. However, the bodyguard confronted him while saying, "Your Majesty is being undisturbed right now."
At that time Han Xi just remembered that this afternoon the Emperor had the arrival of a guest from Yangjou country, a country that would soon be a Long country. Knowing that, Han Xi chose to leave and would tell him another day.
On his way back to the room, Han Xi accidentally saw Shen Xiao Lu sitting alone in a gazebo by the lake. He who was worried about her approached her.
Upon arrival, Shen Xiao Lu recognized his footsteps but did not turn his head and continued to daydream.
Han Xi then sat down and said, "night air is not good for your health. Go back to the room, Shen Xiao Lu."
Shen Xiao Lu did not move a bit, then asked, "why should women marry?"
"Why don't you want to get married?" ask Han Xi.
"After marriage, a woman should go with her husband, right? I don't want to. I don't want to leave this country. I don't want to leave this place full of memories with my mother, brother," he replied.
Han Xi was speechless, she clearly understood how her little sister felt. Before long, he stood up and said, "quickly go back to the room."
After saying that, Han Xi immediately stepped foot about to leave. However a short while later it was stopped by Shen Xiao Lu's statement.
"What ... can you talk to your father about this? I'm sure, if it was brother, father would have listened" she asked with a hopeful look.
Han Xi only turned his head then said, "sorry, Shen Xiao Lu, I can't. You better forget your wishes and follow your father. It's for your own good. You have to learn from your sister."
"He's not happy with his marriage, brother."
"He's just not happy."
"He will never be happy!" shen Xiao Lu snapped with a sharp look. "Why are you so greedy and selfish! You made us suffer only for the benefit of the country! I hate you guys!" After that Shen Xiao Lu left Han Xi.
He stared at the passing of Shen Xiao Lu without being able to do anything. "Sorry, Xiao Lu. Soon this country may face war. Neither you nor Yunza should at least be in a safe place when it arrives," Han Xi's inner.
Meanwhile, in Hou country.
Lin Jian walked on foot at night while daydreaming. He could not forget what he had just discussed with Wang Xi.
"How is the investigation in that village, Wang Xi?" asked Lin Jian.
"The genie replied, Your Majesty. According to your orders I sent some people to the village a few days ago and found out about him. After the survey, none of them knew Lin Jiangyu's name," Wang Xi replied.
"But, when Mu Jiang's name was mentioned, their expressions changed and tended to avoid questions. They just leave without answering like they're afraid of something" he said.
Hearing that, Lin Jian stopped his hand. "Why? Do they know anything about my mother's name?" tanyakanya.
Lin Jian sighed violently then leaned his body onto the chair. Not long after, he got up and walked towards the exit.
"Your Majesty," exclaimed Wang Xi.
Lin Jian stopped his footsteps then asked, "is there still more?"
Wang Xi was silent for a moment. Judging from the look on his face, he seemed a little hesitant to say his words.
"What's up, Wang Xi?" asked Lin Jian.
"Please, Your Majesty. There was one important piece of information but I hesitated to tell him" he said, bowing.
Lin Jian turned his body then said, "say!"
"When I was about to meet them to find out the information, after that, a mother came to me. He confessed that he and mistress Jiangyu had been friends since childhood."
"Mother's friend? Did he say anything to you?" asked Lin Jian.
"really. At first she asked about the news of mistress Jiangyu, then I told her that madam ...." Wang Xi stopped her words. "After hearing this, he was shocked to the point of crying. Then tell me one piece of information," he continued.
Lin Jian silently listened.
"He said ... that mistress Jiangyu has a relationship with ... with General Thang Su."
Wang Xi's speech made Lin Jian widen his eyes. "General ... Thang Su, you say?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know if the information is true or not. But apparently, we should go to the military camp to ask the person directly."
Lin Jian did not answer anymore. He turned his body and immediately left his room.
Walking without direction with a myriad of problems in his head. Who would have thought, footsteps instead led him to the door of his wife's room, Yunza.
He was silent for a moment, until he finally pushed the door and went inside. Tiredness led him to a sleeping bed where Yunza was fast asleep.
The man looked at meu at the figure in front of him.
"Lin Jian wants to sleep with Mother!" said the little man with a pillow in his arms.
"alright. But for today, yes. Later on as an adult, Lin Jian would sleep with the person that Lin Jian loved."
Memories with his mother came back to his head. "Love, huh?" his mind while looking at Yunza's back.
He doesn't understand his feelings. Whether love or not, when he saw it really made his heart calm.
Lin Jian then raised his legs and slept beside Yunza. Instantly, his scent attracted the attention of the man.
He ventured to turn his body to Yunza who was behind him. Hugged him from behind. The warmth of Yunza's body really provided calmness for Lin Jian.
Lin Jian closed his eyes while inhaling the scent of Yunza's body. "Mother ... Do I love her?" After that, he fell asleep until tomorrow.
