The Flower Of War
Chapter 23: The Missing Ceremony
The words of the Ming Physician made Yiu a little surprised and worried.
Yiu nodded and walked following Physician Ming towards the Lotus Pavilion and entered to the front of the Empress's room.
"Tell me everything."
"The empress' condition has improved but her mentality is still very shaken"
Not yet had the Ming Physician continue his words, Yiu cut him off with a pressing tone and a heavy sigh.
"I know ... Huh, I already sent the Empress to the Summer Palace and gave her sleeping pills so that the Empress would not intervene in the matter of yesterday's assault. If she finds out about it, then the Empress cannot tell the difference between real or virtual and what happened yesterday exactly as I thought."
"Ah, you are indeed Princess .. therefore the Empress needs a total rest for approximately 2 weeks. That's all I want to say, Princess."
Yiu nodded giving Physician Ming permission to retreat and opened the Empress's room door.
Yiu walked slowly to the side of the bed where the Empress slept. Yiu sat down beside the bed and reached for the Empress' hand and placed the Empress' hand on her cheek.
"I'm sorry mom .. I'm sorry I can't take care of mom .. I should still be at the Summer Palace until I come to pick up mom and I shouldn't be reckless back at the Palace, if I hadn't come and it had happened I probably wouldn't have forgiven myself."
Yiu spoke with a slightly quivering tone and involuntarily a tear escaped from his brown bead.
After feeling enough, Yiu sighed and slowly stood up then walked out of the room back towards the Dahlia Pavilion.
As he was about to arrive at the Dahlia Pavilion, Yiu stopped his steps when he heard a familiar heavy voice from behind calling out to him.
"Daughter Ying!"
Yiu turned around to see who called his name.
"Why aren't you in your Pavilion? Isn't the wound on your body not dry yet?"
Prince Wu Xiao walked slowly towards Yiu who was seen turning his eyes puffed.
God, why should these rioters come.
"I'm fine, Prince, don't worry about me. My wounds have healed."
Yiu smiled wryly towards Prince Wu Xiao who spoke like his brother.
"Oh, really? Can a puncture wound heal within a day? Well, what magic drug are you using? Ah, I better ask the Palace physician or perhaps Prince Huang?"
Prince Wu Xiao turned around and was about to walk towards where the Prince Pavilion was located.
"Tu .. wait!"
"Don't tell Prince Huang if I'm not in my Pavilion."
Yiu pleaded with Prince Wu Xiao because he had been commemorated to go straight to the Pavilion and could not go out until tomorrow.
"What are you doing here, Princess Ying?"
The voice of Prince Huang not far from where they were standing shocked Yiu and Prince Wu Xiao and made Yiu's face turn pale.
****** you're Yiu!
"Don't I tell you to stay in Dahlia Pavilion until your wounds heal, Princess? Then why are you still wandering around outside with Prince Wu Xiao?"
"Egh, I was away for a second"
Yiu had not had time to refute Prince Wu Xiao had already cut off his conversation.
"Look at Prince, Prince, earlier I accidentally saw Princess Ying was walking around the Palace area and then I approached her and warned Princess Ying that she should not leave the Pavilion until her injuries improved but Princess Ying refused and even threatened to get me kicked out of here."
Prince Wu Xiao said so eagerly that it appeared that he was telling the truth and not making it up.
Yiu glared sharply at Prince Wu Xiao hearing the story about him and replied to a sly smile on his face.
"Are you so, Princess Ying? Ah, you've started to contradict me, huh? Alright you I'm not allowed to get out of the room let alone the pavilion until the entourage of the Emperor comes."
"But, Prince, I don't-"
"Don't argue! Hurry back to your Pavilion and don't leave the room until the Emperor's entourage comes tomorrow! Wu Xiao please accompany Princess Ying."
Yiu only snorted in annoyance and glanced sharply at Prince Wu Xiao who was beside Prince Huang.
Prince Wu Xiao smiled sweetly at Yiu who was still glaring sharply plus a sour face, then Prince Wu Xiao blinked his eyes slowly allowing Yiu to return with him.
Yiu immediately walked towards his Pavilion without saying a word to Prince Wu Xiao.
"Hey don't bend your face like that Princess Ying. I was just kidding." Prince Wu Xiao tried to open the silent padlock between the two.
"I'm not ashamed!" yiu unconsciously cursed low.
Prince Wu Xiao pretended to be deaf, "You've always looked at me fiercely like that, have I ever done anything bad to you?"
Yiu desperately held back his growing emotions trying to sound as neutral as possible, "Close your duck's mouth or I'll chop it off to ah."
Not finished Yiu finished speaking, the wound on Yiu's left abdomen opened slightly due to too much movement.
Prince Wu Xiao immediately carried Yiu's body as if carrying a sack of rice. Yiu was again at a loss for words seeing Prince Wu Xiao's disrespectful behavior.
Yiu, "You! ..."
Prince Wu Xiao, "What am I? Huh basic, already know that badly injured still roam around and scold me. I helped you but you always swore at me."
Yiu immediately rebelled hoping to let go of this crazy Man sling, "Take me off, this is in the Palace! If anyone sees how?!"
Yiu glared sharply, "I don't want to marry you damn it! Put me down fast!"
Prince Wu Xiao chuckled, "Let's just that I don't want to have friends like you either, the Palace is busy right now so the servants are busy in the Hall and the kitchen. We're not gonna get caught."
Yiu was silent and just resigned to being in the arms of Prince Wu Xiao, honestly he was also too tired to walk and as they walked down the corridor full of silence, Yiu swore an oath of grace to Prince Wu Xiao who always made him rise in blood.
Until the two were at the entrance of Dahlia Pavilion, Prince Wu Xiao immediately lowered Yiu and parted ways.
Prince Wu Xiao exclaimed as Yiu was about to approach the entrance of the Pavilion, "Hey Princess Ying! You're not thanking me?"
Yiu said without looking at it one bit, "Don't bother me anymore, Damn it!"
Prince Wu Xiao retorted as he pursed his lips, "Alright, I take that as a thank you."
Yiu immediately entered his room with several servants welcoming him in front of the room along with Chichi's figure among them.
"Princess when you rest, you must not be too tired because the wound on your body has not dried up, Princess."
Chichi's voice made Yiu increasingly grunt. On the one hand he wanted to spurt Chichi but eventually he obeyed Chichi's words because the wound on his body was a little sore when he moved too much and chose to go to dreamland.

Next day.
The reddish sun was about to return to its fusion but the entire inhabitants of Qiu Wang Palace were still busied with the preparations for the Emperor's Welcome Ceremony and its allies who managed to quell the Tian Lu attack and achieve victory.
Unlike Yiu, he was still locked up for a full day in the room by his brother to rest and was not allowed to get out of the room a step.
The guard inside and outside of his pavilion was tightening, making it even harder for Yiu to move.
As a result of when he wanted to run away for a while to just walk in the forest as well as see the preparation of the Emperor's welcome by climbing the roof of the pavilion and did not even make a sound.
But again the action has been caught by the damn man named Wu Xiao who has been leaning in silence on the outer wall of the palace near the escape of Yiu as it was waiting for the arrival of Yiu, it seemed like Prince Wu Xiao had guessed that Yiu would not be able to remain silent in the room despite being seriously injured and would definitely find a way to escape for a second.
It was truly then that Yiu wanted to strangle Prince Wu Xiao to death.
Not only locked up, he also had to drink a green-colored medicinal herb to hitaman and was very bitter which made him want to vomit just by inhaling the smell.
And the Empress was also still not out of the room as she had to take a complete rest to recover her slightly shaken mind and mentality.
He also told Chichi to take care of and care for the Empress along with the Empress's personal servants for 24 hours.
Prince Huang, Prince Wu Xiao and General Rong were also busy preparing for the welcoming ceremony and restoring the condition of their people after the war.
The morning sun began to slowly emerge from the eastern horizon, almost all the residents of the Palace and the people of Qiu Wang were already preparing for the Emperor Force welcoming ceremony.
And now he is ready with royal clothes that seem very luxurious with neatly-coupled hair.
Yiu wore a bright yellow hanfu as bright as the sun and as beautiful as a peony blossom that makes it look like a goddess of heaven that is very beautiful in view even though now Yiu's face looks like paper bent multiple folds.
Yiu sat daydreaming beside the window of his room, his mind wandering somewhere. Habits when bored.
A voice forced Yiu's consciousness and made him turn towards the source of the voice.
"Daughter, the Emperor's entourage has arrived at the entrance of the city center and will soon arrive at the Palace. The princess was asked to come down to greet them at the palace gate with the others."
Yiu smiled sweetly towards the servant and got up from his seat then walked slowly towards the entrance gate of the Palace.
There was already seen Prince Huang with a golden hanfu wrap and a little white color that seemed elegant and charismatic.
Beside him stood Prince Wu Xiao in the typical oversized clothes of a gallant, silvery-colored Great General, and General Rong dressed as a War General with his right hand holding a sword that was white as snow.
Yiu stood next to Prince Huang, the manic had been continuously tracing the corners of the palace looking for the whereabouts of someone.
"Where's mother?"
Yiu turned towards Prince Huang and asked in a innocent tone as if forgetting his sense of regret that was now replaced with curiosity as well as worry.
"The condition is still not recovered, Mother is too shocked to know you who made the decision without her consent coupled with the state of the Father at that time."
Prince Huang's words sounded quite cold to Yiu, he felt that Prince Huang was offending him who was acting rashly.
"I'm sorry. But before the news of the attack reached the ears Mother's condition was already weak and after that fell unconscious."
"It's not your fault, though, this was all because of that Tian Lu louse that dared to make a troublemaker at Qiu Wang and seize the opportunity when we were not around but it was all over so there was no need to be in trouble anymore."
Prince Huang smiled briefly and looked straight ahead again. Yiu smiled a little and then followed Prince Huang's point of view.
Not long after the sound of a giant drum stroke echoed throughout the palace.
The palace gate began to be opened slowly featuring the group in battle clothes and swords by their waist not to forget dozens of red war flags fluttering in the entourage.
The front row of the motorcade had dozens of soldiers walking as fast as a plank and one by one began to pull over into a living fence and give way to the warlords with their horses led by Prince Xiao Ce and his a large, luxurious horse carriage was behind them to enter the palace.
Behind him were some Great Generals who were allies of the Qiu Wang Kingdom and aided in the war in the Zin Shu region, such as General Yao of Guang Ming Kingdom, General Xuan of Zhang Wu Kingdom.
Following behind them was an army that had already valiantly quelled the cunning and wanderlust of the Tian Lu Kingdom in the Zin Shu region.
Flowers began to fall towards their heads and the triumphant cries of the soldiers echoed all over the city making everyone shiver to hear the overestimated cries of the soldier.
