True Empire'S (True Empire)

True Empire's 05th Anniversary of the Royal Family's Arrival

One month after the return of prince JinHu the second prince of the kingdom of Quan finally Zee Lin decided to spread the word if he had woken up from his long sleep and he was forced to have a show like when he had just woken up a few months ago.

The news was so quickly spread, even among the outer court had heard that the useless princess had already opened her eyes again.

Some are happy and relieved by the news of the wake of the princess and some are not happy because they feel threatened by her existence.

At a residence outside the palace they gathered and planned to kill the princess. But, they did not know if the figure of the princess they were after had awakened from months ago and the figure was no longer a weak and easy princess figure to oppress.

They had mistakenly expected and they were only waiting for the day they were sentenced to death or death at the hands of the princess herself for daring to attempt murder to the first princess of Quan kingdom.

After their plan was neatly arranged they finally disbanded and returned to their respective places.

The Orchid pavilion

Inside Zee Lin's residence was now a very crowded atmosphere. How not, though, The King and Queen and the princes and princesses of the two kingdoms of Quan gathered there with happy faces because the wake of their daughter who had been two years was said by the healer that the possibility of the princess to survive very small considering the impact on his head that was very hard.

They did not know if the real Quan Zee Lin daughter was dead and now occupying that body was General Luo Zee Lin of the future Liang imperial dynasty.

At the moment Zee Lin was having a charade still limp and it was hard to move the same as when he first woke up. Even his face looked very flat and there was not a hint of sunyum blanched pale before that he made up so that his face looks still sore.

Zee Lin looked at the crown prince, third brother and fourth brother with a hard to understand look. After that Zee Lin looked at the King, his father with a difficult gaze.

'So he's Zee Lin's real father?! I actually saw a worried look and relief in his eyes. So what the first brother said was true. Third brother and fourth brother also had the same gaze. No lies or theatrics in the eyes of the two of them. Zee Lin if you were still alive, I'm sure you'd be happy to see the gaze that your father and your older brothers had.' muttered Zee Lin inwardly as he looked at what he saw.

His gaze changed towards the Queen now or was once only a concubine and also his daughter named Quan Hia Lu that made Zee Lin cluck dislike.

'They are both serpents! Just look at their stares. I want to hide both their eyes. Lying once if they were worried about Zee Lin!' meaning while turning his eyes towards JinHu.

"Sister JinJin" he called in a whisper.

JinHu who felt summoned approached Zee Lin then sat beside Zee Lin who was leaning against his body. "What's the matter, sister? Is anyone sick? Brother will call the healer to check" he said, being made as worried as possible.

Zee Lin shook his head slowly "No big brother. Ze'er is just tired of wanting to rest" he said slowly.

"Alright, big brother will ask them to GIVE YOU SPACE so you can REST" JinHu said, suppressing some of his words.

Jin Hu asked everyone in his sister's residence to let her rest. They had to leave Zee Lin's residence.

The crown prince looked at Zee Lin who was currently staring at the two backs that were gradually moving away from his gaze with various hateful gazes.

The king and his two sons, the third prince and the fourth prince, were forced to come out and followed by the crown prince behind them. They were forced to leave because they did not want the enemy party in the blanket to know that Zee Lin was still under the strict supervision of the four men despite being hidden.

"Check if they're really gone or still around here. Remember not to be suspicious!" JinHu's orders to Fu Len. The girl nodded after she left to carry out the orders from JinHu.

It didn't take Fu Len long to return "The royal family has returned the prince, they are no longer seen around the residence" he reported with a bowed body.

JinHu nodded then told Fu Len to come out. "Ze'er why do you have to perform like that?" Ask Jin Hu.

Zee Lin looked at her brother with a faint smile "If I face them in good health, they will definitely be suspicious of me. Anyway I just announced the news that I just woke up, it's impossible if I show that I'm okay" he explained.

'And I am sure that after this news has spread the enemy will surely and the traitors will be vying to kill me' he continued inwardly. Zee Lin couldn't say that to her brother because of that Zee Lin would finish off the assassins with traps around the pavilion as well as within the pavilion he would install in the afternoon.

"Sister should go back and rest. I'll be fine here. I can take care of myself" he said as if banishing.

JinHu looked at Zee Lin confused at the meaning of his sister's words. "I will also rest and need time to be alone" he continued slowly.

Forcibly JinHu nodded then returned to his pavilion after stroking Zee Lin's hair slowly.

The sun is now on the western horizon. Zee Lin ordered all the servants and soldiers loyal to him to help set the trap.

After finishing setting the trap and leaving only one hidden exit and only the occupants of the pavilion knew the hidden exit to make it easier for them to get out of the palace without anyone knowing so that they would can go to the market to buy various needs. But, it wasn't that easy to get through that door. They had to give Zee Lin permission first because the access to open the door was inside his residence and also in Fu Len's private residence which was given specifically for his personal servant.

For the next month, though, Zee Lin forbade everyone who came from outside the pavilion for everyone including the King though with the reason for his true self-recovery being so that his family would not be injured because the existence of the trap was hidden and only the people in the Orchid pavilion alone knew where it was located. Zee Lin also asked them to be careful in walking so as not to be hit by the traps they had set up.

Everyone who came from outside the pavilion was forced to return because of Zee Lin's request and the pavilion gate was closed from inside and outside the gate there were only two soldiers on guard duty as usual. The gate would only open slightly when they were about to exit. After that the soldier inside the gate will close his gate back.
