''May the gods hasten your death, for it is much better....'' Mumbled, one of the guards of the other residence.
.........................................
While in a room of residence.
A man was lying on the bed, and right beside him a mirror three to four times the width of a man's palm was near the man's face.
''Why did you take so long Yun?.'' Said the man with an anxious face.
''I should have followed you, even though you forbade me earlier.'' Keep the guy up again.
His body was gallant several times, moving uncomfortably on the bed.
His hands, would occasionally grab the carvings on the mirror divider. Just to vent, as well as suppress his current turmoil, and anxiety.
I don't know how many times, the man who was none other than the emperor Jiang jing wei, let out a long sigh.
Until a golden glint of light shot out from within the mirror. Her lips could only sing a sincere and joyful smile.
''Yun...'' Call it happiness.
And sure enough, from the sparkle of the golden fog that came out, Ziaruo's figure was slowly, yet definitely formed.
Hearing and seeing the man there Ziaruo smiled, reached out his hand, and said. ''Are you still awake?.''
Seeing the woman walking towards the bed, Jing quickly grabbed the woman's outstretched hand.
''How can I sleep if you are still somewhere else?.'' He answered softly, pulling the woman towards the bed.
Jiang jing wei carried Ziaruo's body, helping him lie on the bed with gentleness, as well as affection.
''Are you meeting him (The teacher Baixio)?.'' Jing asked, with a face still showing the same feeling.
For the man, everything about the woman is sincerity.
Although, he was interested in other things, yet still he was the main one.
In fact, if he had to choose between the woman, or the son he wanted so much, he would still choose the empress.
Hearing the question, Ziaruo looked at the bead of the husband's eyes.
''This woman met with Master.'' Ziaruo lirih.
Hearing and seeing the woman's expression, Jing realized things weren't going right.
The man hugged the wife tightly, resting the tip of his chin on the tip of Ziaruo's head.
''Rest, let the god determine his destiny (the son in the womb).''
Jing said everything, suppressing the uneasiness in his own heart.
The man did not want to see his wife, the more sad.
However, of course Ziaruo understood, what he was thinking.
''But, I want him to be born safe.'' Ziaruo lirih.
''I know, and of course he will survive, you have to believe that.'' Jing said again.
Jiang jing wei emphasized a belief to Ziaruo, who was himself in fear, and was overwhelmed with great anxiety.
''This woman, has her way to save our son my husband.'' Ziaruo continued, with a still soft voice.
Hearing those words, Jiang jing wei was stunned for a moment, she looked at Ziaruo, and said. ''Is it dangerous for you?.''
''Of course not..'' Ziaruo reflexes.
The woman gave a small display of ruckus, at the time of saying that.
He wants to create comfort, in the delivery of his words, in front of the husband.
''Is it really the holy teacher who told you?.'' Ask Jing again.
For some reason the man felt an awkwardness in the words of his Empress.
He knew well the silent expression, at the beginning of the conversation.
However, now the wife says she has a solution, between them with the beauty of happiness on her face.
''Can you not hide anything from me Yun?.'' Jing continued again.
''Only, this woman must leave for a glorious week ahead, would you allow?.'' Ziaruo asked back.
''Seven days?, where do you want to be in a week?.'' Ask Jing reflex.
Hearing the question, Ziaruo looked up his head, he looked back at that face fixedly.
''The teacher will perform a ritual for our son, as a repellent of evil and put up a protective tattoo for him.'' Ziaruo replied with a calm looking face.
She wanted to convince her husband that everything would be fine.
''Okay, you can go this time. But only seven days, and no more.'' Answer the man softly.
His sturdy hands clasped Ziaruo's body tightly again, and Jing's eyes closed quickly.
Meanwhile, Ziaruo did not have any thoughts on the attitude of the husband who easily gave permission for him.
For Ziaruo, things will be resolved faster, if the man is easier to let go this time.
After a while, with fatigue on his body, Ziaruo finally fell asleep.
And after making sure the woman was asleep, Jing opened her eyes again, and muttered in silence.
''I know there must be something you're going to do, look al there won't be anything bad going on.
And I will also settle, all the affairs here before you return, Take care of yourself and our son Yun.''
Jiang jing wei kissed the head of the empress a few times, before she too fell asleep in her sleep.
The room became quiet and peaceful, like a picture of the calm of twilight, before a great storm struck.
...............................
As decided, that morning Jiang jing wei's entourage left Gu's residence, after allowing the old general and mistress Gu to meet the young Gu woman (coast consort Gu).
They were only given a chance to meet for a while, and that made the old general feel indebted to the Zing empire.
In return for the effort to save the princess (the concubine Gu), old general Gu handed another different plaque to Ziaruo.
A leadership plaque, top of the secret army belonging to old general Gu.
The army that once belonged to Gutingye, as a red shadow army that had been reinforced by General Tua Gu, in recent years after the death of Gutingye's son.
Long ago old general Gu only thought that the elite forces of the son should not be destroyed, and became a sign or proof of the presence of the son in his life.
Old general Gu also felt a pity, if the red elite troops had to simply disappear.
Therefore, he galvanised the red elite forces in secret, even allowing senior, experienced soldiers who had long followed him in the military camp to join.
Old general Gu did not think, that one day, he would hand over the elite troops to another country (Zing).
Although, there was pain and a bit of disrespect, in the old general's heart, but with his current condition, that decision was the best.
Emperor Tang, no longer appreciating his leadership, as well as the hard work of the predecessors, who helped build the Tang empire.
At least with the red elite troops, he can guarantee the life of the princess and their unborn grandchildren.
And maybe his son Gutingye will be happy, seeing the troops he built, in the hands of the woman he loved (Ziaruo).
Replacing her protects the woman, with the presence of her red elite forces.
Ziaruo at first rejected the troop plaque, but with the husband's approval, and the sincerity of the old general Gu's goodwill, the woman finally received the red elite troop plaque.
On the other hand, the current husband Jiang jing wei, was in need of a lot of trained manpower, to fight the rebellion in the Zing imperial palace.
Considering this, after receiving the red troop plaque, Ziaruo handed it over to the husband, with the intention of lending the item for a while.
After the affairs he had were resolved, and Jiang Jing wei had gone through a period of crisis in the empire, the plaque would be taken or returned again to Ziaruo.
And with the red army, the imperial forces will get help, from people who have been trained on the battlefield.
After bidding farewell, the party moved towards the Zing empire, at twice the pace it normally would.
Moreover, after the departure of the empress from the entourage, emperor Jing seemed to deliberately travel with a much shorter time.
Jing wanted to settle all the polemics, and the riots that now undermined his throne, in the Zing empire quickly.
He hoped that, when the empress returned later, there would be no more anxiety, over the upheaval and rebellion in the Zing empire.
''I will make everything possible for you.'' Speak in Jing's heart.
