The news of Princess Liu Yao's palace attack by a group of people had been heard to the King's ears. King Liu Feng who was worried about Princess Liu Yao's state, he sent his best spy soldier to ascertain Princess Liu Yao's state. However, the soldier that King Liu Feng sent back empty-handed as he simply could not get past the tight guard on the entire side of the Crown Princess' palace, where Princess Liu Yao lived.

Knowing that his best spy warriors could not enter the Crown Princess' palace area, King Liu Feng planned to go see Princess Liu Feng in person.

However, when King Liu Feng asked permission to enter the Crown Princess Palace, the guards did not give him permission.

When King Liu Feng threatened them with his title, the guards said they were not afraid of the title of King because they were devoted to Princess Liu Yao, not devoted to King Liu Feng.

King Liu Feng who knew of his presence was not welcome in the Crown Princess' palace, in the end he could only leave without success.

However, from what the palace guard warrior Crown Princess said, at least she was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Princess Liu Yao was currently in a fine state.

“Why did they say that I should pay more attention to the Crown Prince? Did something happen to her, and I don't know it yet?..” King Liu Feng who was accompanied by two Royal Generals and dozens of soldiers, just went straight to the Crown Prince's palace.

Arriving at the Crown Prince's palace, King Liu Feng just went straight to the Crown Prince's residence after hearing the news of the declining health of the son he loved so much.

Seeing the state of the Crown Prince lying limp on the bed, King Liu Feng could not afford to interrupt the Crown Prince's rest time, either, and he only asked the Crown Prince's condition to the servants in the Crown Prince's residence.

The servant who King Liu Feng asked about the state of the Crown Prince, the maid replied that the current Crown Prince had too many thoughts and was lacking in rest. Those two things are what makes the Crown Prince sick, but the best healer of Shu Kingdom who checks the Crown Prince, he says that the Crown Prince only needs a longer rest period, but he also needs a longer rest period, and also the intake of food that can increase endurance.

Knowing the Crown Prince's not-so-serious state, King Liu Feng was able to breathe a sigh of relief because nothing dangerous, was threatening the safety of his son and daughter. Now he could refocus on his duties as King in Shu Kingdom.

Leaving the Crown Prince's residence, King Liu Feng walked back towards his chariot which stopped in the front courtyard of the Crown Prince's palace.

While walking towards his chariot, King Liu Feng accidentally saw the Crown Prince's palace guard soldiers burying something not far from the Crown Prince's residence.

Although quite far away, the keen smell of King Liu Feng, can catch the fishy aroma of the grave ling that began to be piled with the ground. But out of curiosity, King Liu Feng came to the place.

Arriving at the place where the Crown Prince's palace guard soldiers were burying something. Unbeknownst to them, King Liu Feng could see the white-colored parcel was in the burrow that was being stockpiled by the Crown Prince's palace guard soldiers.

From the size of the white cloth package and the presence of red stains on the wrapping cloth which King Liu Feng believed was red, it was the color of blood. King Liu Feng believed the contents of the package were human heads.

With curiosity and confidence in his possession, King Liu Feng asked one of the soldiers who was burying the neatly arranged parcel in the grave ling.

“What pack are you burying?..” The voice of King Liu Feng who raised a question, shocked the soldier who was doing his duty.

The soldiers immediately knelt knowing they were being confronted by King Liu Feng, but none of them dared to answer the King's question.

“I didn't tell you to kneel. I just want you to answer what I asked you about the parcel you buried!.” King Liu Feng stared intently at the soldiers who looked reluctant to answer his question.

Not wanting the King to get angry, one of them said, “Your Majesty, the package contains the head of the black lotus warrior who failed in doing his duty.”.

Hearing that, King Liu Feng was quite surprised because all this time the black lotus warrior that the Crown Prince had had never failed in completing the task.

Curious what kind of task they failed to complete, King Liu Feng again asked, “Before I had never heard of any failure in any of the tasks that the black lotus warriors did. Until at last today I saw firsthand the failure of the black lotus warrior. Tell me, what kind of task did the black lotus warrior fail to complete?..”

“Your Majesty, if that matter I do not know because they all received secret duties from the Crown Prince.”.

‘Hopefully the failure of the duty of the black lotus warrior has nothing to do with the assault on the palace of the Crown Princess,’ King Liu Feng said inwardly, and he really hopes there is no connection between the two events related to his son and daughter.

“Why is it only his head that you buried? Where's their bodies?.” King Liu Feng only realized that there was only a bundle of heads in the grave, and there was no visible body in the grave.

“Your Majesty, we don't know where their bodies are. Our job is simply to bury their heads properly, and compensate the families they left behind.”.

King Liu Feng just nodded his head, then he left the funeral procession, choosing to continue on to his horse carriage.

“My son, may you not beat the drums of war with the Crown Princess,” muttered King Liu Feng as soon as he was already inside the horse carriage.

The Crown Princess Palace...

“Mr Princess, do I need to use special clothes to attend King Qin Duan Ren's birthday party? How about I wear the bodyguard I used to wear?” qin Chen asked who was being measured by Princess Liu Feng's regular dress tailor.

“King Qin Duan Ren's birthday party is a big event. So, I do not want your appearance to look mediocre when accompanying me to go to the event,”, Princess Liu Feng said as she chose a suitable fabric color for Qin Chen's clothes, Qiao Bao, and his four personal servants.

In the end everyone obeyed Princess Liu Yao's wishes, and it didn't take long for their entire body to be measured, and at the same time Princess Liu Yao had also determined the color of the cloth for their clothes.

The tailor immediately worked on Princess Liu Yao's order, and within two days the order would be delivered to the Crown Princess' palace.

Finished sizing up the clothes, Princess Liu Yao asked Qin Chen for help with her heaped duties, and all the work had to be done before they went to attend King Qin Duan Ren's birthday party.

“Talk them out! Do you think anyone would dare to oppose if there was a special relationship between them?” qiao Bao asked the four personal servants of Princess Liu Yao who were standing with him outside the Princess' working room.

“With the power of Princess Liu Yao, and the power of Master Qiao Chen, I don't think even the King will be able to hinder the relationship between them.” Lu Sui replied.

The other three maids agreed with the answer Lu Sui gave, as well as Qiao Bao.

Meanwhile inside Princess Liu Yao's study, two people were so focused on their work.

“I just heard from the Empire, about the competition of the three Imperial Princes, for the sake of obtaining the title of Crown Prince. In your opinion, out of the three Imperial Princes, which of them deserves the title of Crown Prince more?” princess Liu Yao asked Qin Chen.

Qin Chen had met the three of them, and had a good relationship with them. Even though only a few days know the three. With his always precise observations, Qin Chen knew what the weaknesses and advantages of the three Imperial Princes were.

“The First Prince doesn't really want the title of Crown Prince, but he gives support to the Second Prince. While the Third Prince, he had the direct support of His Imperial Majesty.”.

“On who deserves to be the Crown Prince of the Empire, of course my choice will fall on the Second Prince. Everyone certainly knows who the Second Prince is, and how bad the nature of the Third Prince who is very ambitious to be the next Emperor,” Qin Chen said in an answer.

Princess Liu Yao herself had met the three figures of the Imperial Prince, even the Second Prince had once wanted to make her a Concubine. However, knowing Princess Liu Yao was already Crown Prince Qin Yuwen's fiancee, the Second Prince undoes his intentions.

“What are the three Princes asking for support on the six Kingdoms?” qin Chen asked after answering Princess Liu Yao's question.

Princess Liu Yao nodded her head, then she said, “They did ask for the support of the six Kingdoms, but I have no intention of supporting any of them. As a woman, I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the men's competition.”.
