Back to the Palace

After traveling for days without stopping, finally the prince's entourage arrived at the king's city.

Arriving at the gate of the city atmosphere which is usually crowded with traders and residents who pass by suddenly deserted.

In front of the gate there are several royal soldiers and their commanders who are watching the residents and traders who pass by.

When they saw the prince's entourage coming to the gate, they immediately greeted him.

"Greetings respect us princes and eunuch masters" said the warrior commander as he bowed his body.

The prince only nodded his head, then followed by the eunuch messenger and the entourage continued his steps into the gates of the capital.

The situation in the king's city was also the same, there were only a few places to eat and lodging that were open as well as a few drug stores.

Some residents who passed by the prince's entourage welcomed and saluted.

"Once upon a time this city, was it like this prince in his daily life?" ask than long while looking around.

"Unlike this, usually this city is always crowded, my feelings are not good at this time." said lie er.

"Does this have anything to do with the pain of the emperor?" gunam yuen er while circulating his surrounding gaze.

"I don't know miss Yuen either" said lie er restlessly, then turned to the messenger eunuch and said "let's hurry we have to get to the palace, I want to see the emperor's father immediately".

"Fine prince" said eunuch liu.

The prince's entourage rushed to the palace, arriving at the front door of the gerbamg palace the group was again greeted with a man aged and large-bodied wearing a harness along with dozens of soldiers palace guards.

"Welcome to the crown prince" said the big man and followed by dozens of soldiers bowing their bodies as a form of respect.

"General qi, how's the emperor's father doing?" prince lie said.

Apparently the man who was wearing the armor of general qi who had gone down to serve the palace.

"The state of the emperor is not good, the prince should immediately meet him" said the general qi with a sad face.

"Alright, oh yes while I look at the state of the emperor's father, please accompany and serve these guests as best as possible" said the prince.

"Well prince" then the qi general immediately let the entourage enter the palace, the prince rushed into the palace while the thian long and yuen er directed the qi general to a resting place.

When entering the palace hall the officials and ministers had gathered to welcome the return of the crown prince.

"Welcome back prince" they said as they bowed his body.

Prince Lie nodded his head, then asked an old man who was there:

"How is prime minister zhan's uncle, how is father's current state?"

"Your highness the emperor's health is being disturbed, and is currently resting in combination with the empress" the prime minister said, bowing his body..

"Well uncle thank you for the description, I will soon visit my father now" said the prince, nodding his head and stepping into the emperor's chamber.

The guards standing at the door of the emperor's room saluted the prince, then opened the door.

When entering the room, the prince saw the empress sitting next to the bed accompanying the emperor who was lying weak, the prince immediately greeted and saluted

"Li er saluted his mother" the prince said on his knees.

"Lie er is fine, ma'am, and the training is suspended for a while, how is the condition of mom's father?"

"As you saw Lie er, your father's condition has not been awakened since the last time he was unconscious" the empress said in tears.

Lie er immediately hugged the empress while calming her down.

After the empress calmed down a bit, li er again asked:

"The empress' mother, father like this must have a cause, try to remember what happened before".

The empress was stunned for a moment, and then said to herself doubtfully :

"Is it true because of that, but how is it possible?"

"What incident, please tell lie er" said the prince curiously as he grabbed and clasped the empress' mother's hand.

"The emperor once told me that on the way home from the golden monastery, the horse ridden by the head of the army went on a rampage and accidentally hit a pair of grandparents and two grandchildren" said the empress.

"Then your father got off the horse-drawn carriage and tried to help the old couple and their granddaughter, the grandmother survived the disaster but her grandfather and granddaughter died from being trampled by the rampaging horse:

"When your father tried to help and comfort the grieving grandmother, at that time the general qi tried to hinder the emperor so that the emperor would not have to intervene alone, let the guards take care of him, he said, but the emperor refused, feeling partly responsible".

"After returning to the imperial palace much pensive, then after a few days later the emperor began to act strangely, sometimes laughing himself then crying arrived and shouting "please forgive me.!, he said...!, then the emperor was unconscious to this day.".

"All the court healers have tried hard, but no one has managed to cure your father" the empress said sadly, crying again.

Lie er fell silent for a moment and then he said: "Mother, lie er beg yourself for a moment, someone wants lie er ask general qi about the incident".

"Well lie er, go and come back to accompany your father.

"Alright empress mother, lie er please excuse me" said lie er then rushed out of the room and look for general qi.

After searching for a while, lie er found the qi general who was conversing with the thian long and yuen er in a pavilium in the palace garden.

The prince immediately approached them, then the prince asked the qi general to tell the incident in detail.

The general told me from the beginning of the incident until the end of the incident, the qi general then said:

"At the time of the incident, I prevented the emperor from helping the victim directly because I recognized the characteristic features of the old couple" said the qi general as he looked at the prince.

Prince lie and thian long and yuen er fell silent to listen to the story of general qi, then general qi continued the story:

"At that time his grandfather and grandson were killed on the spot, the grandmother had sworn us all including the emperor's majesty and threatened to avenge" said the qi general.

"Threatening the emperor is a great evil, at the moment when we move to arrest the grandmother the emperor prevents and hinders us".

"When the emperor helped to get the grandmother to stand up, the emperor felt that her hair had been attracted by the grandmother, but the emperor had no problem with that".

"The general hasn't answered my question, tell me who that person is" prince Lie said.

"Prince, based on the clothes worn and their speech dialect seems to come from the mongol tribe.

"Based on their characteristic features, I can confirm that the pair of old men are known by the nickname "an angel of death from the west.
