The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 84

The palace was in an uproar when it learned that the combined forces of the 4th prince and the crown prince were attacking the village where the 5th prince was located. The Crown Prince reported that there were spies from the Goryeo state who wanted information about Xili at this time. It was for this reason that the Emperor refused to send the remaining 5th prince's army to the village.

One that the Emperor did not know was the intentions of his two actual sons. Both sons wanted to kill their other sons. Surely this will never be revealed by the crown prince's side because surely the Emperor will be angry with him. The emperor was too unconcerned about what his son was feeling that his sons started a war in their silence.

The Minister of Defense got word from the person sent by Gong Sheng about their current condition. He also got word from the older brother who said he asked the hill village for help to save their nephew. Kim Young said it needed a presence now in the village to disguise help from the hill village.

" We go there later that night, of course by stealth because no one should know our departure. You understood? " Choe Hain is coordinating with his troops.

" We understand sir." replied Cho Hain's troops in unison.

Just like Cho Hain, the Emperor also ordered some of his confidants to come with him to the village where his son was. The news is confusing that the 5th prince is an accomplice of Goryeo's men. Some say that the 5th prince was a Goryeo henchman who was deliberately in Xili to spy on Xili.

The Emperor wanted to see with his own eyes before deciding what he would do next. The problem here is that his three sons are involved in this matter. That meant that the Emperor could not act rashly. A slight misstep would have trapped the Emperor in a vicious cycle that would have killed him.

" Prepare for my departure immediately. I can't wait any longer, or my three sons will be victims, one of them "the Emperor said that directly eunuch Mo follow up.

" Eunuch Mo.... Do you think the issue that is circulating is true? " ask the Emperor.

" I'm sure there's something in this incident that must have involved a person in the palace, Your Majesty. Because after all you know for sure what the 5th prince relationship with Goryeo. If it was true that the 5th prince wanted to betray, then the fight at the border five years ago, would not have been won by the 5th prince. This is according to my thinking, Your Majesty ", Eunuch Mo said.

" Well, you're right.... Gong Sheng's relationship with Goryeo will not be able to be wiped out just like that" the Emperor said...

Gong Yuan only realized Xia Nian's true identity when Kim Yozu came seven years after Xia Nian's death. And that was the beginning of the war between Goryeo and Xili because for Goryeo Xili had killed their daughter. Gong Yuan could neither dodge nor resist, foolishly he who did not find out Xia Nian's background properly.

In the village where Gong Sheng was located, looks could be arranged. The traces of chaos have been well cleaned and left some buildings that collapsed. They will work together so that the village can return to its original condition. It is true that the part of the survivors cannot return, but their spirit will remain embedded in the hearts of all who still live in this village.

Some of the villagers hiding in the fissure of the hill had already returned to the village. Feng Ai was so surprised to see her husband's wounds that instead of decreasing even more. Luckily her husband survived. Hearing that some people had helped her husband, Feng Ai took the initiative to meet those people and say thank you. It was inconceivable what if those helpers arrived late. Then no more will her husband live in the same world with her .

" What hurts? " question Feng Ai sounded funny in Gong Sheng's ear because his injuries were clearly ill.

" It's okay.. The healer had already treated him. "gong Sheng's hand grabbed Feng Ai's hand to appease this wife.

" Calm down, later from the hill village will send food supplies to us. Goryeo will also deliver food for us until there will be an action from the Emperor" Gong Sheng said.

Hearing her husband mention the 'Emperor', Feng Ai instantly realized about the cause of the attack by the crown prince and the 4th prince.Without the approval of the palace, this attack would not have been possible. In other words it could be said that this attack, the Emperor knew about it. Feng Ai immediately thought of the feelings from the husband due to this matter.

" I'm sure this must have been a misunderstanding. You do not immediately blame the palace for this" said Feng Ai.

" I know.... It can also be our means to turn things around. So you take it easy, I'll make sure everything's okay... Just think about your content Ai... Your stomach is already very big... " Gong Sheng smiled as he rubbed his wife's large belly.

" My gestational age is seven months, we only need to wait two more months then we will be able to see this child. " Feng Ai also rubbed her stomach..

" Yes... Then we'll always be together... "

Gong Sheng's words were immediately echoed by Feng Ai. Because the hope can indeed be with the husband and their children later. Feng Ai hoped that, if this was indeed his destiny then let him leave behind fond memories with Gong Sheng and their son later. But Feng Ai could not guarantee whether later at the end of this story, he stayed or not.

Before long a Gong Sheng's men came to relay the report he had received from the other Gong Sheng's men who were in the capital. The news that Gong Sheng had to listen to immediately in order to make a decision.

" General.... I've got word from our troops in the capital. Currently the Defense Minister Mr. Cho and the Emperor are on their way here "reported Gong Sheng's men.

" They left together? " ask Gong Sheng.

" No General.. Mr. Cho has already left before the Emperor. It's likely that by tonight Mr. Cho will have come along with some of his troops. And the Emperor himself will arrive tomorrow afternoon "gong Sheng's men explained.

" Tell everyone to get together. Tell my uncle and also the leader of the hill village.. !! " tell Gong Sheng.

He could slightly guess the intention of the arrival from his uncle who was the minister of Defense. But for the Emperor's own arrival he really didn't know what he meant. However, the Emperor has since withdrawn from the problems of all his sons. Therefore it is not surprising that fellow princes hate each other and compete in unhealthy ways..

" What do you want to prove by coming here, Emperor.... ? "
