The arrival and explanation of General Holing about what his daughter experienced did not necessarily make the Wei emperor believe it, he knew from the eyes of his subordinates was very illuminating seriousness, it's just that arguments without strong evidence have not been able to make the Wei emperor believe the words of General Holing even though what he said was the truth.
As an emperor who had served and ruled the kingdom long enough, he was required to remain meticulous and vigilant. He should not waver or simply believe. The world of government and politics that he occupied was not a pleasant world, this world that ensnared him was a disaster that was possible for ordinary people to think his work was a gift.
Unfortunately what they see is not always beautiful like a luxurious building that covers all the evil and bloodshed that has taken a lot of casualties in the luxurious building that they always glorify as a palace. In this place, many carved a long history of casualties that fell because of the ambition and greed of humans who were never satisfied with what they achieved.
As a great man in this terrible place, emperor Wei should raise his guard even more so that his age was no longer young. It is moments like these that he is tested for the loyalty and loyalty of his servants to be a bet and must be considered wisely. Either because this test concerns their earnestness and loyalty, or it concerns the falsity and hypocrisy of those whom they slavishly close.
Emperor Wei sighed. Gradually he watched and observed the great general Holing who was respected and respected by many people, he did not find a lie from the radiance of his sharp and firm eyes. That is what made the Wei emperor think again considering the explanation of his generals.
It was possible that what General Holing said was true, but the Wei emperor had to remain vigilant and should not take any rash and reckless steps that ended up harming him. Therefore, the Wei emperor only chose to help General Holing as much as possible, especially the Wei emperor began to desperately search for the existence of crown prince Rui who until now had no news. Its existence seemed to be at the side of the earth without leaving any trace, that is what makes the condition of the body of the emperor Wei decline thinking of the continuity of the MingQi kingdom which is currently faltering without a legitimate successor.
"Pardon Zhen who is unable to believe your words completely Great General Holing" the emperor Wei said, opening his voice at the end after a long silence and pondering.
"But at this time the situation and conditions in the palace are in a state of chaos because the existence of crown prince Rui who until now has not been found" the Wei emperor's pause "maybe your words are correct, you are right, your daughter needs royal protection for being an eyewitness to the crown prince's abduction, but-" Emperor Wei said in the air, the wrinkled look on his face turned moody as if the traces of the spirit of life had disappeared along with the absence of good news from the search for his legitimate son "time continues to spin, the existence of the crown prince until now has not found a bright spot even though it has been months Zhen tightened the search in all regions. There are no results we have found until now. The position of the middle emperor faltered especially the condition of Zhen began to decline late - this end.
Even if your daughter gets protection, the perpetrator will never be caught. The case of the disappearance of the crown prince will be lost in time, the evidence you have is not strong enough to bring the perpetrators of the crime into the path of the law - emperor Wei sighed.
Zhen can't promise much, but Zhen will protect your daughter from danger. At least if the crown prince's body is found one day, your daughter can testify and show justice for her death" the distraught Wei emperor added.
"Thank you for your noble generosity, hearing you want to protect this general's daughter alone is more than enough. I hope your highness the crown prince is found soon, so that you can live the day with the usual furnace" said General Holing sincerely.
"Sorry to have interrupted the glorious time, this general please resign" continued General Holing did not forget to bend 90 degrees before turning around to leave the main hall of MingQi palace.
"Do you think there's any hope that Zhen still hopes that Rui is alive?" Asked the Wei emperor to Kong Wen Lei who was his right hand who had been hiding behind the room divider after General Holing.
"Hamba tasa, his highness crown prince Rui has a great chance to stay alive and survive" Lei replied out of hiding.
"Why do you think that?" Emperor Wei looked at his right hand.
"Because his highness the crown prince is not as weak a young man as you think"

Qiang was shocked to find his brother lying on the cold, rough ground in the back yard of their residence. He immediately picked up his youngest brother and took him to the western pavilions and put his sister back to sleep on his warm quarrel.
Qiang did not think out, why his sister could be there. As Qiang recalled, he had checked the backyard repeatedly, but the whereabouts of his sister he could not find. Qiang did not know how long he had left the Feng family residence until not if there might have been a new hideout in the back yard of their residence.
Initially Qiang was only about to take his horse in the back yard of the residence to expand his sister's search in the capital MingQi, but who would have thought, who would have thought, he found his sister unconscious on the footpath of their home yard.
Along the way to Lan's pavilions which were in the western part of the main pavilions, Qiang was more silent. His mind wandered far away thinking about the problems - the problems of the successive - also approached his sister in a day. Usually Ai will not disappear twice in one day, Ai usually disappeared from their supervision and care when he left the residence but not repeated twice.
Ai often disappears and ends up bringing home wounds, but vulnerable events that always have a considerable distance and long.
It has been three months since the incident where Ai disappeared coincided with the kidnapping of crown prince Rui who shocked the capital MingQi on the eve of the welcoming and banquet of the success of the military and soldiers in seizing the southern region the YongXi kingdom. Since that incident, it has been counted 5 times Ai is always washed away - a shadow of the danger that threatens his life.
Maybe they were anxious if Ai dismantled their crime so they wanted to eliminate her sister, or perhaps they are beset by an inner battle where the level of safety and death of crown prince Rui is still the greatest fear for them because until now crown prince Rui has not been found alive or deep dead state. Maybe that is what makes them dead, worried and frightened so terrorize his weak brother helpless in fear and woe.
Thinking about it clearly made Qiang angry, it might be better if he chose to become a government official military office alone rather than having to leave his sister with his mother in Feng's residence which is now felt to be unsafe anymore. Danger could have attacked the two women he loved and loved at any time when he and his father were carrying out tasks on the border.
It might not hurt if he discussed it to his father first in order to consider the safety of the people that Qiang loved and cared about, he said, he did not mind if in the end he had to sacrifice his dream job all along.

On top of the contest, Ai looks restless in sleep. Cold sweat continued to wet his temple, he kept on wanting to mutter the word 'No!' repeatedly to make the three people who accompanied him in his room so worried about the state of Ai who seemed to be having a nightmare.
They do not know what Ai went through when they got the duty and order to guard the border from the enemy attacks. But tonight it seems that they feel devastated and guilty leaving Ai in the care and supervision of the servants who did not give them any guarantee Ai was okay from the conditions that currently make huang Fan Hua's chest tightened.
Huang Fan Hua who is a woman who gave birth to a fragile and poor girl who is now lying on top of the contest seems to have no heart to watch her daughter look tormented with nightmares that she experienced. The woman, who is almost entering her 40s, then approached her daughter and rubbed sweat and sweat increasingly rushing out of every pore - the pores of her beloved daughter's skin.
Hua continued to whisper tranquilizing sentences right in her daughter's ear, she so gently stroked her daughter's head which had also been drenched in sweat and continued to whisper and say "Calm Ai. Your mother, father and gegegemu are here with you. Don't worry, just calm down, son. We're with you, baby"
Like a magic spell, after hearing a whisper from her mother, Ai seemed calmer. His breathing was no longer intense hunting, now he began to breathe regularly and his body was no longer as restless as before.
After feeling her daughter had calmed down, Hua approached General Holing and Qiang who were sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. Hua looked at the two beloved men with sharp eye-pincing eyes waiting for an explanation from two different-aged men in front of him now.
Hua, who usually looks graceful and gentle in front of noble ladies, is now beginning to show her firm side, as the daughter of a former general, Hua knew something was wrong recently and it was always her beloved daughter.
"Say, between mister or Qiang'er, who would want to first explain the situation Ai was in?" Ask Hua
"You don't shut up, I'm not a fool who doesn't know his daughter always gets dangerous and wretched. Now tell me, what kind of problem makes Ai go on like this?" Urged Hua who made Qiang look down deeply while General Holing threw away his face because he did not want to meet with his wife's sharp gaze that looked scary.
"If mister and Qiang'er don't want to talk, let me find out for myself what problems and causes my daughter is always in danger!" Threatening Hua really.
