Incarnated
A deep sadness

" Let's meet near the lakeside town." Bai Qian ripped the letter off, then returned to his room. Zhang Han returned to his room followed by Lan Huan and Wei Chan, before long a soldier entered and gave him an official letter, after reading the letter, he rolled it back.

" Where's Fang Yin?" zhang Han asked, they did not see Fang Yin from earlier, the woman would not dare to wander around during the day as she barred Zhang Han from leaving the Zhang Han residence during the day.

Lan Huan and Wei Chan shook their heads, before long Ying Zheng came in a hurry. " How?" ying Zheng asked so in front of them.

" Don't worry here, you better worry about your kingdom." Ying Zheng did not understand Zhang Han's words, Zhang Han then gave the official letter he had just received to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng quickly opened the letter.

" It's..." Ying Zheng was startled, he turned to Zhang Han who nodded in agreement to the Letter.

" Bring your army back, you need it." Ying Zheng nodded.

" I'm sorry, at a time like this I can't keep you company, I'm leaving, once my business is done I'll help you." Zhang Han nodded, Ying Zheng immediately went home because in the letter, his mother sent a message that the kingdom was in dire straits due to a sudden rebellion in the kingdom that would lead to war. Ying Zheng's mother had already thought that If Ying Zheng wasn't in the palace then the only place he was going was the Qing kingdom because only the Qing kingdom could make his only son submit.

That was why he wrote an official letter and sent it to Zhang Han.

Ying Zheng immediately left, Zhang Han then turned to Lan Huan." Find Fang Yin, it's not usually the woman to wander around." Lan Huan nodded then resigned.

Zhang Han sighed, he was so dizzy thinking about this matter, he was still unable to accept what happened, he suddenly remembered someone. " Wei Chan, quickly call Zhao An." he just remembered Zhao An, only Zhao An was close to Jiang, Zhang Han hoped Zhao An had the answer. Wei Chan resigned.

Before long Wei Chan came with Zhao An, Zhang Han immediately approached Zhao An." Your honor." Zhao An saluted.The look on Zhao An's face was lethargic and uninspired, even sadness was evident on his face.

" What's going on exactly? is it really Jiang who did all that?" zhang Han asked excitedly. Zhao An nodded.

Zhang Han directly pulled Zhao An's collar. "say clearly, why did Jiang do it? why did he leave me? why.." Zhang Han shouted in frustration, hearing Zhang say that, Zhao An got on a blackboard, he then stared angrily at Zhang Han then pulled his collar, Wei Chan gaped at him.

" Why did you say? it's all because of you."yelling Zhao An angry, he even forgot who he was talking to.

" You made him do all that, you made him sacrifice everything, isn't that what you wanted? you question him, now answer me, do you ever care about him? do you care when he almost lost his life just to expose the evil in the palace, when he sacrificed his life for you, do you appreciate it, he risked everything for the sake of this kingdom, while you... you didn't even do anything, he was fighting desperately out there, but you." Zhao An let out his annoyance, he threw down Zhang Han's collar violently.

Zhang Han was stunned, After a while Zhao An regained his senses, he then knelt before Zhang Han. " I'm sorry, noble servant, you can punish me for being disrespectful to you" Zhao An said slightly regretfully, Zhang Han fell silent, then sat down in his chair.

Zhang Han was speechless." You're right.I hurt him too much, you're right.Both then and now I can't protect him, I just put him in danger, I'm stupid....." Zhang Han laughed bitterly.

Zhao An then stood up to Zhang Han. " Your majesty, I say it only because I'm angry, your majesty." Zhao An regretted saying the thing that made Zhang Han what he was now. Zhang Han then patted Zhao An. "you're right." he said with a faint laugh enduring the excruciating pain in his heart.

" He even made you swear." he said annoyedly, Zhang Han was unable to hold back his falling tears.

" why is he doing all this. Why?" Zhang Han laughed loudly but his tears did not stop flowing.

" Your highness." Zhao An became dejected, then Wei Chan pulled Zhao An out of the room leaving Zhang Han alone laughing like crazy.

Wei Chan closed the door, the two of them slightly moved away from the room. Zhao An wanted to ask but seeing Wei Chan's annoyed eyes on him he so undo his intentions.

" If I hadn't remembered that you were a confidant of concubine Jiang, I would have slashed your head earlier" he said slightly annoyed, then he turned his gaze to look at Zhang Han's room, then, Zhao An did not dare to ask again.

Zhang Han immediately fell to his knees, he cried, then he hit the floor. " I'm weak.I'm useless.I think I'm the strongest in this country it turns out I'm as strong as a fragile branch of a tree, I'm not able to finish what's going on in my own palace, I think, forgive me. forgive me.." Zhang Han's hand bled from hitting the floor.

Wei Chan and Zhao An kept waiting outside, before long Lan Huan came. " How?" wei Chan asked as he looked at Lan Huan's arrival. Lan Huan shook his head.

" Not seen, but the guards said they saw him coming out of this house, but didn't know where to go and haven't come back yet." Lan Huan replied, Wei Chan nodded.

" Why are you waiting here?" lan Huan asked in surprise.The two of them only looked at each other but no one answered.

" Hey.I was asking, why are you just looking."

" Ask him." Wei Chan replied pointing at Zhao An, Lan Huan then turned to Zhao An. Zhao An hesitated to tell a story but finally he told what happened until it was over, Lan Huan immediately pulled his sword from the sheath, Zhao An was surprised.

" I'm too emotional..." Zhao An was frightened to see Lan Huan being annoyed at him.

" Lan Huan, sheathe your sword." Lan Huan sheathed his sword violently.he then approached Zhao An with his fierce face.

" You don't know anything about the noble, you think concubine Jiang alone suffers, the noble one suffers from it too." Lan Huan said annoyedly.

" You know what the noble has done for concubine Jiang, she..."

" Lan Huan.." cried Wei Chan stopped Lan Huan from revealing everything they had kept secret to others. Zhao An was surprised.

" What?" Zhao An wanted to hear the continuation, Lan Huan covered his mouth and stood with them waiting for Zhang Han to call them. At last the three of them were quietly waiting for Zhang Han.
