According to Zhang Han's estimation if the two of them rode nonstop then they would reach the palace tomorrow afternoon so they were racing their horses nonstop.
Wei Chan and Lan Huan's palace were very dizzy thinking about the matter in the palace, the two of them went back and forth thinking about it, they were waiting for Jiang Feng's corpse to come today. Lan Huan waited in the residence while Wei Chan and the ministers waited for Jiang Feng's body in front of the palace gate.
Before long the cavalry and a luxurious carriage came, they were Min Yan's entourage carrying Jiang Feng's corpse, Min Yan instantly saluted Wei Chan as their supreme commander in the military, saying, Wei Chan Saw Min Yan's eyes were already swollen from crying a lot.
" I've never seen you grieve like now Min Yan, who is sad not only you Min Yan we are all sad too" Wei Chan said, Min Yan nodded his head, he did continue to cry but Wei Chan's words were a satire to him because as the commander of the army how could he look as pitiful as he was now.
" Get Jiang Feng's body inside." Wei Chan ordered, but a minister stopped him. " Wait." said the minister.
" What's up?" ask Wei Chan.
" Where is your highness? why do you keep coming Commander Wei Chan? not that I don't mean disrespecting you but the present state of noble absence made everyone ask, what exactly did the noble do so that it couldn't come to greet general Jiang Feng as a last salute." said the minister, now everyone began to wonder, what the minister said there was a point.
The whispers between them made Wei Chan sigh. " Is it time to debate Minister Zhu?" wei Chan asked a little annoyed, they could guess that Wei Chan was now a little angry, but their rank could be said to be equivalent since minister Zhu was an advisory minister.
" I'm also surprised, where did Empress Jiang Huan, yesterday I did not see her and today also she did not come to greet her brother, actually what is going on Commander Wei Chan? what are you trying to hide?" minister Zhu said no less fierce, he had withheld patience from yesterday, as an advisor how he could just keep quiet to see all the problems that occurred.
Minister Zhu was an honest man, he questioned all of that to shut up everyone who started criticizing Zhang Han who did not care about the current circumstances, Tomorrow is welcoming the royal guests and if Zhang Han is not around then the guests will consider Zhang Han demeaning them and that will add to the problem, now that Zhang Han had not come alone had already left everyone disappointed.
" Bring Jiang Feng's body into the burial chamber." Wei Chan ordered without answering Minister Zhu's question, the soldiers then carried out Wei Chan's orders. Minister Zhu was not offended as he understood it was not good to leave the corpse out for too long.
They gathered in the burial chamber before being buried by Jiang Feng's corpse, they were waiting for Zhang Han's decision on this matter because this corpse would be buried eaten by the military or brought it to his own family who buried it. as they were gathering a letter came from the Jiang family that they were asking to give Jiang Feng a corpse in order for them to bury themselves.
Wei Chan's head throbbed after reading the letter because the decision could only be taken by Zhang Han. " Now what noble does not want to come to give this decision?" minister Zhu asked, The Jiang family is a royal family respected for respecting the former king's friendship with the Jiang family.
" I can't stand it anymore" said a minister he then went towards the king's residence, all the ministers following from behind even Lu Xiang, Bai Qian, and Ye Yuan came along as well, they were all curious as to what exactly their king was doing so that he could not come.
" Where do you want to go?" wei Chan shouted furiously, all the ministers stopped, they then turned to Wei Chan.
" If your highness does not want to come, then let us come to see your majesty ourselves" said one minister, they then proceeded to the Zhang Han residence.
Lan Huan stood waiting in front of the gate of the residence, he actually wanted to see Jiang Feng but he could not leave the residence so he could only wait for Wei Chan's arrival to bring news to him. From far away Lan Huan saw Everyone heading towards the residence.
Lan Huan was surprised to see them coming. " It seems like it won't be held back anymore." muttered Lan Huan who saw the entourage getting closer to him.
" What's going on? " ask Lan Huan, soon Wei Chan came to stand beside Lan Huan.
" Do you want to break down the king's door? do you all want to be punished, your majesty?" wei Chan shouted furiously.
" His noble anger matters later, now solve this problem first, we have to meet his majesty" said another minister.
" Wei Chan, what's going on?" asked Lan Huan who did not understand.
" Prime minister Jiang An wants Jiang Feng's corpse to be given to them to be taken care of by them." Wei Chan replied, Lan Huan understood, because surely the entire Jiang family wants to see Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, the proud son of the family. if Jiang Feng was buried in the military then it could only be attended by Jiang An and Jiang Huan alone while others could not enter the palace other than obtaining the king's permission while the king was not there so there was no who can make decisions.
" Her Majesty ordered not to let anyone in, so you better come back" Lan Huan replied. Lu Xiang advanced and stood before Wei Chan and Lan Huan.
" When will the noble confine himself without giving a decision, is it to wait for the corpse to rot?" ask Lu Xiang.
" Consort Lu Xiang, do you not understand, your majesty is nowhere to be found now" Wei Chan replied firmly.
" What noble is not in the palace? so you two hid this so you two desperately forbade us to meet your majesty." Lu Xiang replied, he slightly raised his tone.
" Consort Lu Xiang." shouted Lan Huan furiously.
" Display your respect Lan Huan, be aware of your position." Lu Xiang said, he suppressed every word of his, even though Lan Huan's rank was the commander but he was still under Lu Xiang's rank of first-rate concubine, even though he was the rank of Lan Huan, so only Zhang Han should be high-pitched when talking to him.
They were all also shocked when they heard Lan Huan yell at Lu Xiang, even the face on Lan Huan's expression was innocent at all, Wei Chan only turned a glance at Lan Huan, Lan Huan said, but Lan Huan was like he was challenging Lu Xiang.
" Bring your eyes to me Lan Huan" Lu Xiang said angrily as he looked at Lan Huan.
" Lan Huan." reprimanded Wei Chan, Lan Huan took a breath then directly lowered his head . " Pardon concubine Lu Xiang's servant" said Lan Huan bowing his head, but no one knew what Lan Huan had in mind.
" Soge away." Said Lu Xiang, Lan Huan and Wei Chan wanted to hold him back but the ministers came forward to accompany Lu Xiang so the two of them paved the way.
" It was finally discovered as well." - Wei Chan's inner self.They both turned a blind eye for not being able to be discovered the secret they were desperately defending. Just as Lu Xiang wanted to push the door open, suddenly the door opened first from the inside.
