True Empire'S (True Empire)
True Empire's 11th Bid on the Emperor's Offer
"Have you forgotten your father's Ze'er?" The man said after opening his face.
"Dad?!" Zee Lin said almost like a whisper.
"Lin'er get the hell out of here!" Grandpa Luo cried out.
The man who claimed to be his father Zee Lin spread his hands waiting to be hugged did not forget the grin on his lips.
Without waiting for long Zee Lin ran towards the man then hugged him longingly.
"What are you doing Lin'er!" Shouted grandfather Luo.
"Ze'er listen to me." he whispered in the princess' ear.
"Dad knows if you were out of the room at the time, don't you, you know everything baby. I've suffered so much from losing your mother, and I have to leave you too. I always fought so hard to get you back. Ze'er.. will you come with me to see your mother? We're gathering together again. In the next life, I want you two to be my little family again. We live together and are happy. I will protect you both with my life, I will try to protect you easily later. Zeer's... Do you want daddy's little daughter" whispered Yan Lu.
ZeeLin was silent for a moment. After deciding, he nodded slowly. Then whisper "Ze'er wants daddy. Let's go see mom" and I can also meet big brother Xuan!. Continue ZeeLin in the heart.
"Dad loves you very much, little daughter of father"
"Ze'er loves dad too" ZeeLin replied.
"I'm sorry dear father"
The man grinned widely and a sword pierced through the heart of the young great general.
Blood came out from that puncture wound as well as from Zee Lin's pink lips.
"Yan Lu...!" Shouted Grandfather Luo furiously seeing his beloved granddaughter go through something similar to his daughter fifteen years ago.
"Grandfather" said Zee Lin then those beautiful eyes were tightly shut.

Early morning in the Orchid pavilion.
Haocun looked at his lover who was still sleeping in his arms.
After telling her what happened, Haocun decided to stay the night. He will leave when it is still evening.
"It turns out, your life was heavier than mine in her previous life. I didn't expect to have a girl as loud and as strong as you, baby" Haocun whispered and gently kissed the lover's forehead slowly, afraid to wake up his beloved girl.
Slowly, Haocun got off the contest. Once again he kissed his heart and then left.

The imperial palace.
The emperor stepped into his room. As he entered the room, a voice stopped him.
"You just got back, brother?" he said he only got Deheman in return.
"It's a good thing I came right back, not waiting for you. It turned out that my guess was correct." the young man tailed behind the emperor who entered the room and casually closed the emperor's room.
"When will you bring your sister-in-law here?" tanyanya who saw the emperor lay down on his contest.
"Come Yuan'er! I want to rest!" he expelled the emperor without answering his brother's question.
"Ck! Did you forget today your sister-in-law's candidate is coming?! He arrived this morning. What would he say later if his future sister-in-law who was an emperor was lazing around!" Han Yuan, the imperial prince of the Han dynasty, the only brother of the emperor chose to leave after saying so.
"Why can I forget that!" muttered.
"That's it. Clean yourself first"

"His Majesty the Great Emperor entered the hall" said the eunuch loudly who always followed the emperor standing before the door of the main hall.
Prince JinHu who was waiting for the emperor inside the hall immediately turned his body and kowtowed.
"What are you doing? Stand up!" the emperor's decree did not like it if the prince of JinHu prostrated himself on him. The emperor stood not far from the JinHu prince prostrating due to his arrival. The emperor did not stand or even pass the JinHu prince who was prostrating.
"Sorry Your Majesty?!" prince JinHu was confused.
"I said stand up" the emperor said coldly.
With hesitation, prince JinHu stood up. However, he still lowered his head.
The emperor walked back to his throne.
"Have you had breakfast?" the emperor asked after sitting down.
Hearing that, prince JinHu looked up involuntarily. "Sorry Your Majesty?"
The Emperor sighed softly and repeated his words. "Have you eaten prince's breakfast?" he said while looking intently at prince JinHu.
Gleck...
Prince JinHu directly lowered his head while gulping in fear.
His mind is now wandering. What should he answer? Before coming to the palace, he had breakfast in the inn. If he answered already, he was afraid the emperor would be angry at him. Rarely did the emperor ask such questions of the guests. All he knew, the emperor would only ask about it to certain people. But if he answered not yet breakfast, fearing that the emperor would think if he expected more by licking.
"What do you think the prince is? You just have to answer yes or no. I won't be mad if you answer yet!"
'I guessed! The Emperor wants an answer not yet from me!' inner prince JinHu was worried.
"Hamba does not dare His Majesty. Thank you for asking this despicable servant" replied the humble prince JinHu.
"Hm... Do you dare let this emperor starve, prince?" asked the emperor to make the prince of JinHu a fool.
"No-no, Your Majesty. Forgive me servant" said the prince JinHu to prostrate again, but stopped when he heard the emperor's words.
"What are you gonna do?! I didn't tell you to do that lowly thing! I just told you to accompany me to eat"
"Now answer my question! Have you had breakfast!" continued the emperor in a relaxed tone this time, to the surprise of Prince JinHu.
"Your Majesty, I do not deserve your honor" said the lowly prince JinHu, bowing his head.
"Why indeed?! You're different from everyone else. When others stay away from someone, but you stick by his side to protect him!"
"I want to offer you something!"
"If you may know, what will His Majesty offer you?" ask prince JinHu.
"Until now, people knew I only had one left hand. My right hand is empty. If you want to say that there is a prince Han Yuan, the answer is that he always wants to be free without anyone setting it up. I also don't want the boy to be my right hand" the emperor began to explain.
"The reward for my right hand position is higher than the position of my left hand. Since the position of the right hand must be willing to be introduced in the general public and that position is also very dangerous, what else there will be many parties who target the person who is my right hand. Unlike the position of my left hand, he is hidden and mysterious. Only me and my right hand know, and his own subordinates. Maybe my left hand looks harmless. However, the task that my left hand carries is heavier than my right hand. To this day, no one has filled it."
