Empress Reincarnation
Dong Country

"Prince, I don't want to offend the Han prince. But ..." Liu Li did not like his arrogant attitude.

"Don't worry about that. The woman must be taught a lesson" said Prince Jin.

"Quick get out of my sight" the woman shouted.

"Hurry and tie him up" prince Jin ordered his guards.

The bodyguards carried out the orders of the Jin prince and moved quickly.

"Prince Han will not spare your lives" the woman shouted.

After tying and silencing the woman's mouth - she kept shouting so her mouth was forced to be silenced. Then Prince Jin continued his journey to Dong. The group until the end of the night.

"Daughter Liu Li, you have finally arrived as well," greeted prince Han with a glowing face.

"Ehem." Prince Jin reminded Prince Han that he was standing next to Liu Li.

"Prince Jin," greeted Prince Han with a contrived smile, "you must be tired, let's take you to the pavilion" he said.

"How's the trip going?" prince Han asked Liu Li. They talk while walking.

Prince Jin felt as if he was the third person, "prince Han ..." he muttered furiously.

"In the middle of the road I met your future wife" Liu Li said.

"Yun Xie's? Have you met?" ask prince Han.

"So his name is Yun Xie? The train stopped our horse-drawn carriage in the middle of the road. Because he tried to kill me, so I caught him. Now he is tied up in a horse carriage" Liu Li said.

"How dare he do that!" prince Han said angrily, "let me take care of it later."

"Rest," said Prince Han as they reached the pavilion, "say when you need something."

"Thank you, prince," Liu Li replied.

"Go, your future wife must have been waiting," said the prince Jin who had just been silent.

Prince Han felt himself being reminded not to approach Liu Li, "yes yes, I will leave now."

After the departure of the Han prince, Liu Li and the Jin prince sat on the porch of the pavilion. They enjoy the natural beauty of Dong. Suddenly, people were running around in panic.

"What's this?" ask Liu Li.

"Wei Hong, find out what happened," the prince Jin ordered.

"Okay, prince." Wei Hong immediately left to find out what had happened and returned a short while later.

"It was rumored that there was a Han Tian prince running amok. He tried to burn down the palace" Wei Hong reported.

"Prince Han Tian? Is he prince Han Yu's brother?" ask Liu Li.

"He is the elder brother of Prince Han Yu. Reportedly he is indeed sick and often goes berserk," replied prince Jin.

"Let's go over there to see it," Liu Li asked.

Prince Jin and Liu Li headed towards the source of the crowd, where the Han Tian prince was rampaging

Prince Han Tian held a torch in his hand, his eyes were red, and his face was pale. He raved indistinctly and brandished the torch to everyone who wanted to approach him.

"Sorry, make you see him doing this shameful thing" prince Han Yu told Liu Li.

"Is he sick?" ask Liu Li.

"Yes, he should have been treated in his palace. But he ran away and ran amok. All of his tranquilizers were thrown into the lake. Now it's still waiting for the healers to take the sedative out of the palace" said the Han prince.

The healer arrived and gave the bodyguards a needle-shaped sedative, then the bodyguards shot it down and hit the prince's body, Han Tian. After the prince of Han Tian fell, the guards carried him inside the palace.

"Has Prince Han's brother been like this for a long time?" ask Liu Li.

"Yes, since he was a child he was sickly. Father locked him in the palace because he was often out of control" replied the Han prince.

"I can't accompany you, I have to see my brother's condition" Prince Han said.

"Prince go, we're fine" Liu Li said.

Then Prince Han left the two of them.

"Is something bothering you?" prince Jin asked when he saw Liu Li's expression.

"Prince Han Tian is addicted to something, maybe opium. I suspect someone is involved. How could the court physician not know it" Liu Li said.

"Are you suspicious of Prince Han?"

"I'm not sure" Liu Li replied.

"Although I don't like Prince Han, but he's not the one who can do such a thing. He was a knight on the battlefield who held fast to the truth."

"Just like you," Liu Li said with a smile, "do we need to tell Prince Han about this?"

"Tomorrow morning we'll tell him. Now get some rest."

Then the princes Jin and Liu Li returned to the pavilion. The next morning, the prince came to see them.

"Liu Li, do you need anything? Why did you ask me to come in the morning?" prince Han asked with a carefree heart, he was delighted to meet Liu Li.

Prince Jin encouraged Prince Han not to stand too close to Liu Li, "stay standing there!" exclaimed prince.

Prince Han was about to protest but then Liu Li started to say, "prince, there's something important I want to talk about. Sit down."

When everything had sat down, Liu Li began to speak again, "prince Han, I saw prince Han Tian last night, I think he is addicted to something forbidden."

Prince Han was surprised to hear that, "so you mean someone intentionally made him like that?"

"I hope I'm wrong. But, the prince of Han Tian had relied on something forbidden," Liu Li explained, "is there a vast estate in this palace?"

"Yes, the queen loves beautiful flowers. He planted many flowers in his private garden. Even outsiders cannot enter, they do not want their flowers to be damaged" replied the Han prince.

"Have the prince been there?"

"Yes, a few times."

"Are the flowers planted red with large petals?"

"How do you know?" Prince Han asked back.

Liu Li was surprised to hear that.

"What's wrong?" ask prince Jin.

"That's an opium flower" Liu Li replied.

"Opium? I never knew how opium trees were. So the empress planted it herself in the palace garden?" Prince Han was even more surprised to know what had happened. He was silent for a moment, seemingly beginning to understand something.

"Liu Li," said the Han prince, "don't talk about this with anyone. I don't want you to get hurt," the Han prince looked at the Jin prince, "prince Jin, please let me settle matters in my palace. I don't want to involve you."

"I know," replied Prince Jin.

"I want to take you to enjoy the beauty of the land of Dong, but .." said Prince Han.

"Prince Han, go. We'll take a walk here ourselves" Liu Li replied.

Prince Han smiled then left prince Jin and Liu Li.

"Is the empress the mother of the Han prince?" ask Liu Li.

"Yes" replied Prince Jin.

Life in the palace can be terrible. They kill each other for power, inner Liu Li.

Prince Jin clasped Liu Li's hand, "don't be afraid, I'll always be by your side."
