Jiang's army was already awaited by Bai Yunfei and Xiolin's troops who finished their duties, when seeing the state of the wounded Zishu, Bai Yunfei was astonished and then approached Jiang.
" Take care of Zishu first." Jiang knew Bai Yunfei wanted to ask but Jiang did not want to discuss it. Bai Yunfei immediately instructed the two warriors to help Zishu meet the healer to be treated. " How's Xiaojiu?" ask Jiang again.
" As planned." replied Bai Yunfei, Jiang nodded. They had arrived at the encampment, a soldier came running and immediately saluted Jiang and Bai Yunfei.
" General, there is a great army outside the forest, they bring along food and shout that they want to meet general Jiang." Report the soldier.
Jiang recalled that he had sent a letter to Ming Hui if he wanted to send troops then he had to shout outside the bamboo forest and did not enter first because Jiang had set a trap and would hit them if don't know the way.
" You bring some people and lead them in here, they are a relief force for us." replied Jiang, the soldier immediately nodded and resigned.
" Whose message?" ask Bai Yunfei.
" The army arrived late, they should have come yesterday so that we don't lack troops, they will be useful later for the next war." Jiang replied speaking to himself.
" Jiang.. I asked?" bai Yunfei said
" Ming Hui." Jiang replied and left Bai Yunfei to enter the tent.
" Ming Hui? how's..?" Bai Yunfei wanted to ask further but Jiang had already left, he just shook his head and went back to his tent.
In the morning the news soon spread throughout the palace, all the ministers were waiting for Zhang Han to be present to discuss this matter, Zhang Han knew this he could not avoid so he could only face everything. Zhang Han entered the court room with an unsightly expression, he entered followed by Wei Chan and Lan Huan.
The entire crowd saluted as Zhang Han sat on his throne. " May your majesty live a long life" they said in unison while saluting. Zhang Han looked at their faces all he wanted then took a deep breath.
" Your Majesty." a minister advanced.before the minister continued what he wanted to say, Zhang Han first stopped him.
" I know what you guys want to say." replied Zhang Han.
" Why haven't you acted yet?" answer the other minister.
" Right, your Majesty, Consort Jiang has clearly done the rebel and you have seen it for yourself" said another minister.
" Your Majesty, don't involve feelings, the guilty should be punished, he is clearly a traitor and should be sentenced, you should arrest him whether he is alive or dead" replied the other minister.
" If you don't care just because she's your concubine, then there's no justice in this kingdom and people will laugh at the laws of this kingdom" another minister said
" In that case, you're the king" said Zhang Han, the entire minister prostrated immediately.
" His Majesty pull your words" they said in unison, they then stood back up, they were shocked to hear Zhang Han's words.
" Minister Wang, you're an advisor, how about you just replace me as king?"Minister Wang immediately prostrated himself begging for mercy.
" Your Majesty, with your attitude like this, it will not solve the problem" said one minister again .
" And what do you want me to do?" zhang Han shouted furiously hitting his throne hard
" Your Majesty, please calm down" they said in unison.
" Your Majesty, you voluntarily let go of concubine Jiang and release him just like that, when the enemy before your eyes does not act, please tell us what to give priority to" replied another minister.
" Then you want me to bring her body to the palace to be punished, she would rather die than return, you want me to punish my unborn child." Zhang Han replied angrily.
" That's not what I mean by noble, concubine Jiang used the child in the womb to confuse you." Hearing that Zhang Han instantly whipped out his sword, all the ministers immediately kowtowed begging for mercy seeing Zhang Han's fury.
" Your Majesty." concubine Lu Xiang walked out of the curtain and stood in the middle of the court.
" What plan do you have?" inner Zhang Han.
" Say." he then sheathed his sword back.
" Concubine Jiang is very close to Zhao An, what if we lure concubine Jiang by informing him that Zhao An will be put to death on the grounds that he cooperated with treason, then the news must have reached him."
" What if he's not lured to come?"
" So we're really going to sentence Zhao An to death because he helped concubine Jiang to keep their hideout a secret, it would be better for Jiang to eat his bait."
" It's not clear concubine Lu Xiang, not necessarily Zhao An know Jiang's hiding." Zhang Han replied.
" Don't try, won't know the outcome, even if Zhao An doesn't know, Zhao An is his right hand, it's impossible if he doesn't know Jiang's plan."
" You speculated too much concubine Lu Xiang." Kill
" You want to kill two birds with one stone, amazing." Inner Zhang Han, He long looked at Lu Xiang.
" Miss concubine Lu Xiang's plan was very good" the ministers said happily.
" Please consider your majesty" they said in unison.
" I don't agree." said Ming hui suddenly.Everyone turned to Ming Hui, he said, all this time they knew after Ming Hui became Empress he almost never decided on anything even to interfere he did not want, so people sometimes consider himself to be absent.
" Why should we sacrifice Zhao An, concubine Jiang doesn't seem to have a problem with his noble but he has a problem with others, every incident since the murder happened, he said, why was it only the residence of concubine Lu Xiang and concubine Bai Qian. "
" What does the Queen mean?" lu Xiang asked sharply looking at Ming Hui.
" I don't mean anything, I'm just saying it." Ming Hui replied at last.
" It's none of my business, I don't think it's necessary to interfere." Ming Hui's mind, he breathed heavily.
" If you don't know better not to interfere, empress." said Lu Xiang.
" You dare speak disrespectfully to me concubine Lu Xiang, don't confuse your attitude towards concubine Jiang with mine."
" I'm sorry if my words offend you." Lu Xiang looked down respectfully, Ming Hui threw his face away.
" You completely forgot who you are Ming Hui, you're too arrogant now, let's see how long you've been on your throne" Inner Lu Xiang
" I have decided to deploy all the troops and have the code to search for concubine Jiang's whereabouts without sacrificing anyone else's life" Zhang Han finally said, leaving the room, all the ministers and those present were bowed respectfully until Zhang Han passed them
Zhang Han returned to his residence followed by Wei Chan and Lan Huan, Zhang Han was upset.
" Where exactly is Fang Yin? that woman, when needed like this she doesn't exist" Zhang Han said.
" I'll look for him again, Your Majesty." Wei Chan.
" No need, it's free, it doesn't seem like it's in this palace" Zhang Han finally said.
" What are your plans now" Lan Huan asked.
" Wei Chan, you investigated the incident last night, Jiang said someone else did it, I believe that, you should get evidence that could make Jiang innocent." Wei Chan nodded then saluted, he then resigned.
" Deploy all our secret codes, search for Jiang's whereabouts without anyone else knowing, he must be found as soon as possible before anyone else" Zhang Han said, Lan Huan understood and resigned. Zhang Han rubbed his face.
" What exactly is your goal" Zhang Han said to himself.
