Days change.
Lin Jian woke up early. She covered Yunza who was still asleep, then got out of bed. He put his clothes back on one by one and left the room.
Out of his room, Lin Jian directly walked into the room next to his room to meet Wang Xi. There, Wang Xi was already waiting for Lin Jian's arrival to inform him of the information he had obtained last night.
"How's it?" asked Lin Jian while sitting on a chair.
Wang Xi replied with a headband. "None of the people knew about your family, or rather, they hid it and refused to tell you" he replied.
"I guessed it," Inner Lin Jian. "Then, what about the Village Chief?" tanyanya.
"Just after the Prince's departure that night, I saw him write a letter and had someone send him .. to Hou Zzi Palace."
Lin Jian widened his eyes. "It turns out, all of this did have something to do with the Emperor's father. Only he knows about all this" he murmured.
"Your Majesty," exclaimed Wang Xi. "I found a place that supposedly once stood Your residence there. But the place is very seedy and remote, the building is almost devoured by the towering weeds" he said.
"Your Residence?"
"really. There is an ancient sign that says 'Mu', some of which have been eaten by termites. What should we do now, Your Majesty?" ask Wang Xi.
Lin Jian got up from his seat, then walked towards the door. "Guide me go there, Wang Xi. I wonder what I can find there," he said.
"Alright, Your Majesty," Wang Xi replied. They also went together.
Time just passed by. The sun was tilted to the west, but Yunza had not yet awakened. Until finally, he accidentally nudged the table near the bed and then made him wake up.
He sat with a life that had not yet been fully accumulated. However he realized very well that Lin Jian was no longer there. "Where'd he go?" his inner.
"Since last night, I suspected Lin Jian was hiding something from me. Inviting me to come to this place is definitely not just to see the summer festival alone," he murmured as he put his hand on his chin.
Before long, he pulled out the blanket and got out of bed. "No! I can't just be quiet! I have to find out what Lin Jian is really hiding," he said while wearing his clothes.
After that, he left his room.
At the same time, at Hou Zzi Palace.
Someone came to see the Emperor while carrying a letter. The Emperor read the letter with a serious look. "So, Lin Jian went to Jongwu village to find out about his mother? Did General Thang tell him?" tanyakanya.
"The genie replied, Your Majesty. One night before his departure for Jongwu village, the second prince was indeed known to come to the military camp and discuss something with General Thang personally" the man replied.
The emperor was silent for a moment. What had happened these past few days really made him fret. "One month has passed, the scroll must have been in Emperor Long's hands. I can't go on, '" he murmured.
"Give me a paper and a brush. After that, go get an advisor here" he said. The man carried out his orders. After giving the paper and brush he went to carry out other orders.
The emperor began to write a few sentences on the paper. What it is is only he knows. To be sure, the letter was addressed to the Emperor of the other country. After that, he tied the letter at the foot of the bird and let the bird go.
Meanwhile, in Long.
Emperor Shen called Han Xi and the crown prince over to talk about something. Not only them, but the representative prince of Yangjou country was also present.
"The Hou country is planning something to avenge its defeat in the war some time ago. A spy said that the Hou country already has allies, namely the other country," said the Emperor.
"Neighborhood? Their emperor was someone who was extremely stubborn and ambitious. How could they possibly be willing to ally with the Hou state that might not benefit them?" ask the crown prince.
"You're wrong, first brother. Do not forget that the Hou country has a wealth of natural resources that we are also looking for. Likely, Hou promised to split those resources in return," Han Xi replied.
"What Han Xi said was true." Emperor defends. Before long, he glanced at the prince of Yangjou country, Xian Fang, then asked him. "How did prince Xian Fang respond to this matter?"
Prince of Yangjou country, Xian Fang. A man who had high intelligence and mastered excellent fighting abilities. He was also the future son-in-law of Long kingdom, the man who would marry Xiao Lu later.
"If I were them, I would have already made preparations before the enemy attacked first. And maybe soon, they'll make a move" he continued.
Everyone agreed to the reasonable opinion that Xian Fang had expressed.
"Hou's military strength was quite weak compared to Long's country. However, it is different from the other country. They have a prince who is very adept at strategy" said the Emperor.
"For that, we should also prepare everything as early as possible. So, what did Emperor Yangjou think of this alliance of ours?" tanyakanya.
Everyone looked at Xian Fang, waiting for his answer.
"I've already discussed this with the Emperor's father. He is willing to give 500 troops to help Long country" he replied.
"500 troops?" Everyone was surprised to hear that number was not much.
"Prince Xian Fang, are you kidding me? 500 Troops are not many" crown prince Shen said.
Hearing that, Xian Fang smiled. "It looks like you guys misunderstood me, I haven't even finished my words yet" he said.
"500 troops will be given before the wedding takes place. And after the wedding is over, the remaining 4500 troops will be sent. That's what the Emperor's father said, "he continued.
The emperor asked, "so, inevitably, the marriage must be carried out immediately before they begin to move. Right so?"
"really. The emperor did not need to worry, the Yangjou country always kept their word. Not only the assistance of the troops, the Emperor's father had also prepared other gifts as his sincerity," Xian Fang replied.
The emperor nodded his head. "Then, has Emperor Yangjou decided on his wedding date?" tanyakanya.
Strictly speaking, Xian Fang replied, "already. 29 Next month."
Once again, everyone was taken aback by Xian Fang's words.
"The 29th of next month? That's impossible!" reject Han Xi.
"Prince Xian Fang, the 29th of next month is the anniversary of the Empress's death. How can I have a wedding that day?" emperor Said.
"Emperor Shen, it's been my father's decision. Agreeing or not is up to you," Xian Fang said indifferently.
"Of course not! What's you--"
"Dan Xi!" The Emperor interrupted Han Xi's remark as he raised his hand asking him to be quiet. "I agree. The wedding will be on the 29th of next month."
Amidst Han Xi's disappointment at his approval, the Emperor then moved from his seat and ended the meeting today. Some people even left the room.
"Han Xi, stay here. There's something I want to tell you." Han Xi stopped his footsteps.
After everyone left, Han Xi asked, "why did Father agree to it? We can't have a wedding on the day of your mother's death!"
The emperor moved from his seat. "What you said is true. But did you forget something? The day of your mother's death coincided with Yunza's birthday. Every year we always mourn the passing of our mother did she ever celebrate with joy for Yunza?" tanyakanya.
Han Xi was stunned to hear his father's words. Never mind celebrating, just a birthday greeting no one ever said to Yunza.
"Throughout my life, I've never looked at Yunza. Always blamed her for the death of her mother, but Yunza was just a child who knew nothing. I'm so sorry." The Emperor's voice trembled.
"This time. After this war is over .. please bring Yunza back from Hou country. I want to give him the love he never got. Han Xi, can you promise?" ask her with tears.
Han Xi's heart was also sad. Every year, he thought only of his mother's death anniversary and did not think of his sister's feelings.
"Ayahanda, I promise to bring Yunza back here" he said.
