Lu Xiang recalled their last meeting before Zhang Han's departure, he gave the Imperial Decree because Zhang Han had already expected there would be chaos in the palace if he left abruptly. concubine Lu Xiang sighed at the report of the first day he took care of the kingdom, he even almost cried to see the reports piling up on his desk.
" If I knew of the king's duties this much, I would rather be beheaded for refusing the emperor's order to succeed him." Lu Xiang whined at the pile, Lan Huan just smiled knots adding to Lu Xiang's piqued heart.
Jiang who had just woken up was surprised when he opened the door to see two people sleeping behind Jiang in the bamboo matting where he used to relax at this time the day was already bright but the sun had not yet appeared on the surface.
" Which beggar hitchhikes sleeps, there are usually no beggars in this village." murmured Jiang, Jiang intended to wake him up but when he saw that person turn to face Jiang, Jiang was shocked." Your Majesty." muttered Jiang involuntarily. Zhang Han opened his eyes and the first look he saw was Jiang's astonished face.
Zhang Han patted the back of Wei Chan who was still asleep, Wei Chan immediately got up from his sleep as soon as he got a pat, he looked for Zhang Han before him but nothing, no, then he turned his body surprised to see Jiang who was already staring intently at them.
" What are you doing here." Asked Jiang with a lazy face Wei Chan sighed, Zhang Han had no intention of answering, then as they kept quiet, Dao Dao, Xuelan and Zhao an came over.
" Jiang Huan." calling them in unison, Jiang, Zhang Han and Wei Chan simultaneously propped up, Xuelan who was first aware of Zhang Han's existence stopped making Dao Dao and Zhao An look at Xuelan in surprise, upon realizing what Xuelan saw they gaped wide and reflexively kneeled in reverence.
" Her Majesty the emperor." greeted them while saluting, Zhang Han told them to stand up, saying, the three of them walked up to Jiang with the expression of a fool for being uncomfortable with the presence of the most respected Emperor this entire country was in front of them. They were not used to meeting royal people, so it was very awkward. they wondered why the emperor was here in ordinary folk clothes like this
" Wei Chan, what happened? why are you dressed like this and sleeping in Grandpa Xian's yard?" jiang asked lazily throwing his face away not wanting to see Zhang Han.
" The Queen, your majesty cannot force you to join the palace so we will stay here with you until your willingness to return." clearly Wei Chan looked at Zhang Han's flat face that had no intention of explaining their arrival. Xuelan, Dao Dao, and Zhao Chan gaped at hearing that.
" The Empress, her majesty really sincerely wishes to apologize, she is even willing to leave the palace just because of her guilt to you.please understand that the Empress is empty, because the Palace is empty, His Majesty chose to leave the palace for your sake, if the Empress returns then the noble will not leave the palace." explained Wei Chan.
" Did I tell him to leave the palace? didn't you? so I don't care now to get out of here either." banish Jiang the umpteenth time.
" Your Majesty, say something." Whisper Wei Chan." do you want your efforts to be in vain." Wei Chan then said something to Zhang Han.
" It seems that my decision to leave the palace was wrong, let's go" Zhang Han said, Wei Chan became confused, last night he said very confidently that he was now a coward like this, and that he was being such a coward, Zhang Han came down from the bamboo matting followed by Wei Chan who did not know what to do.
"Not fought back, no effort at all." Xuelan muttered softly as Zhang Han passed by them, Xuelan guessed Zhang Han didn't hear his words. Zhang Han stopped stepping after hearing Xuelan's words.
Zhang Han took a breath, he turned around again then stood before Jiang making everyone confused by Zhang Han's behavior. Of all the people Wei Chan was astonished at the most, not knowing what Zhang Han thought.
" I don't care, from now on I'll stay with you here if you don't want to return to the palace" Zhang Han said firmly, Jiang raising his brow next to a flustered one.
" Your highness." Grandfather Xian suddenly came from inside the hut immediately saluted.
" grandfather, from now on I want to stay here, do you allow me?" zhang Han asked, Grandfather Xian heard him, immediately realized it and nodded in speechless speech again in shock at Zhang Han's words wanting to stay with him.
