The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 41

All the pairs of eyes present in this banquet hall stared at the 5th prince and the crown prince in turn. The speech that the crown prince had just uttered managed to make everyone pay attention to them. The way to tarnish the good name of this sister will soon be fruitful. The crown prince smiled faintly, seeing how the party from the 5th prince to looked pale. One bait managed to get many fish caught.

" I'm sorry first brother, but I really don't feel like I'm doing a bad thing to get a lot of people to spread the word about me" Gong Sheng said, refuting the entrapping remarks from the crown prince.

" They spread the issue that the fifth brother has formed a secret army in the forest that is around your residence. They even said you were going to revolt." Gong Lie smiled mockingly looking at the sister.

Gong Sheng fell silent, not to justify the remarks from the crown prince. But to think of a way to break the intention of the crown prince who led everyone present at this banquet to pay attention to his movements.

" It's not that gossip is too much. After all why should I form a secret army if only Ri Yue troops were under my control." Gong Sheng's remark slightly broke the crown prince's speech.

" What first brother knows, that this brother of yours has achieved a glorious feat in the warrior world. And therefore all my troops are only obeying what I command. What do I have secret troops for." Gong Sheng did not immediately justify the crown prince's remark.

" It is fortunate that the issue is not true. I don't want people to blame your whereabouts at fifth sister's palace." circus crown prince.

No one was surprised to see this happening in front of them. It is very common for the crown prince and the 5th prince to be in the same room, then both will be involved in a quite horrendous argument because no one wants to budge between the two.

" Please first brother does not care about an issue that has not been true and not. This could make the crown prince's name tarnished for spreading false information." Gong Sheng's circus was able to silence the crown prince's mouth.

From his throne, the Emperor stared and listened to every remark debated by his two sons. True and not the issue, if until the people start talking about it then the palace must explain everything. But looking back, the Emperor knew very well that the prince of e 5 was not such a person. But looking at the crown prince who looked serious, the Emperor doubted his thoughts on his son.

" What does the crown prince mean? You know very well that this sensitive issue of your funds can be punished if spreading slander. " The Emperor tried to mediate.

" I'm sorry father, but this is exactly what I heard when I traveled to the second sister's residence." the crown prince launched his plan to influence the emperor.

" I want to ask about it to the fifth sister, because somehow this problem can have an impact on the father's palace" he added.

" I apologize if I am presumptuous to cut off the talk of the emperor's majesty with the crown prince. I just want to express my opinion. The issue is not true, I chose to be a soldier to avoid the problems about the palace and also everything in it. Since I was a child, I have been out of the palace. I have been an ordinary person ever since." Gong Sheng told the Emperor.

Gong Sheng's words just now really made the Emperor feel like he was slapped. Because he wanted to take care of his son's life, he could not utter a single word that revealed his heart that was so affectionate with this son. The Emperor thought, in his heart Gong Sheng could understand what he was doing to protect this dear son of his. In fact, to Gong Sheng, the title of 5th prince was only a formality.

If time could be turned back, the Emperor was eager to return to the past. The reason being, he wanted to strengthen himself and his power so as not to submit to the empress' family. That way, he can protect the woman he loves as well as their only child.

" I am now only a great general in Xili, the noble consort. I am not a prince. To me, I am part of Xili, not part of the palace." Gong Sheng said firmly. Feng Ai was stunned to see the firm and undaunted demeanor that her current husband showed. To him, it was really cool.

" Like it or not, in your blood flows the blood of the emperor. How can you say that. Is it true that you want to betray?" the Empress began to ignite her emotions.

" I've lost too much blood, Your Majesty. What kind of blood do you mean right now?" the Gong Sheng circus.

" You !!!!" empress furious.

" Fifth Adi, please take care of your words. She is our mother, however. Be polite." scold the 2nd most righteous prince.

" I'm sorry, but this is what I am" Gong Sheng said as he was about to take Feng Ai away from the banquet, before a voice interrupted his wishes.

" The 5th prince sat back." the Emperor's voice boomed in the room.

Feng Ai immediately pulled back her husband's hand to sit down immediately. Feng Ai had her own plans, so not until now did her husband ruin the plans he had made mature. Feng Ai then whispered words that could lower the emotions of this husband.

Gong Sheng tried to control his emotions. Really, coming to this place was a very bad choice. It was better for him to gather and party with his troops than to go to the palace and meet with his two-faced inhabitants.

" Alright, the show we continue." said eunuch Mo half-screamed. The dancers who initially stopped were now back to wander their bodies to the rhythm of music.

Feng Ai saw that the crown prince was still busy to discuss the clearly untrue issue. It was not Gong Sheng who had a secret army, but rather the crown prince himself. Feng Ai finally had to bring out the final move.

Before Feng Ai could speak, suddenly there was an arrow that shot right in front of him and aimed at the throne. And no matter when, suddenly Gong Sheng was on the throne to block the arrow that almost hit the emperor if Gong Sheng did not stop him.

" AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH." cried Feng Ai immediately ran towards her now bloodied husband.

' My husband.... Please please wake up. Please wake up my husband." Feng Ai cried in fear, truly this never crossed his mind. She saw her husband bleeding in front of her.
