The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 85

Rombongan menteri pertahanan, Cho Hain telah tiba di desa tempat Gong Sheng berada. Melihat kekacauan di des itu, Cho Hain memaki putra mahkota dan pangeran ke 4 dalam hati. Bagaimana bisa , keduanya membuat nyawa rakyat sendiri menjadi taruhan atas kepentingan pribadi mereka.

Cho Hain was astonished when he saw a grown man that he knew was an unlikely person to be in this place at this moment. The person that Cho Hain was referring to was Xijian from the hill village. But when his eyes saw the whereabouts of the brother, here he knew that it must be his brother who brought Xijian down the mountain.

" You and your troops should hide first when the Emperor arrives. It's not good if you all stay here. The Emperor's fear justifies the news of the bird saying that Gong Sheng formed an alliance to rebel" Cho Hain suggested.

" Don't worry, I know what I should do and don't" Xijian said.

" Thank you for your help..." Cho Hain reached out his hand to shake hands. But because of his prestige, Xijian did not want to accept the hand of Cho Hain.

Cho Hain was grateful that the leader of the notoriously unruly hill village was willing to fulfill his request to hide first when Emperor Xili arrived in this village. The reason as said earlier that in the capital had spread the issue about the 5th prince who made an alliance to rebel against Xili. And Cho Hain doesn't want that to be justified. Because it was not Gong Sheng who intended to betray.

The troops from Cho Hain he had brought from the capital, were now helping the villagers as well as the rest of Gong Sheng's army to repair the chaotic village due to the attacks from the 4th prince and the crown prince. If the men were to fix the village, the women would make a dish that could be eaten by the working men. Feng Ai became the front runner when helping the women from the village who were cooking.

" Is there anything I can help you with?" asked Feng Ai.

" The princess... Don't come here and dirty your clothes. Please just wait there, let us finish here." The village chief's mother forbade Feng Ai from joining.

" Don't hesitate if you need my help ma'am." said Feng Ai still kekeh help.

" Please wait there princess, we don't want you to help because look at your already huge belly. We don't want you to be exhausted just from being preoccupied by us here." said the village chief's mother trying to give a briefing.

After being persuaded by the village chief's mother and several other villagers, Feng Ai finally relented and chose to sit in the place that the people had pointed out. Although it felt bad, but Feng Ai was also unlikely to argue with the many mothers.

The activities of everyone in the village were completed in the afternoon. Everything looks so tired. Feng Ai immediately approached her husband to deliver drinking water and accompanied her husband to rest. Seeing her husband look tired with the body full of wounds, really Feng Ai did not have the heart to see it. But stopping was impossible because after all Gong Sheng was the leader of this village, in the current situation.

" Go clean the body, Ai.. Soon the Emperor will arrive." Gong Sheng said.

" I will prepare warm water for you first.. I'll clean myself up.." Feng Ai said goodbye to preparing all the needs of her husband.

It was proven that Gong Sheng's words were true, because not long after all the activities in the village were completed the entourage of the Emperor arrived. The Emperor's entourage came with some food and clothing needed by the villagers. Even so, Gong Sheng had absolutely no interest in paying any attention to what the father was doing. Gong Sheng's heart was already in pain due to the Emperor's indecision which resulted in everyone in this village suffering.

" As you can see... I'm fine." replied Gong Sheng.

" Let's meet the healer we brought from the palace, prince. Hopefully it can make ana get well soon." asked Kasim Mo.

" Command the healer you brought to examine the wounded throughout this village. It is not good if I am privileged when my current success is due to their hard work." said Gong Sheng who was immediately followed up by Kasim Mo.

The palace healer was slightly surprised when examining the 5th prince's body. Because the wounds on the body of the 5th century, not only wounds because of sharp weapons in war, but also there are scars of persecution. Gong Sheng, who was aware of the healer, wanted to tell about his injuries to Emperor , forced Gong Sheng to shut the healer's mouth.

" But your Majesty, the Emperor has the right to know what really happened to you" said the physician.

" What will happen after you tell me about the condition of my wounds? Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will follow up on this matter? Do not enlarge this problem because the end of the loss is still the Emperor." said Gong Sheng who immediately silenced the healer's mouth.

" But what should I say to the Emperor if he asks. I can't lie to him."

" Just tell me the truth, but don't tell me my wounds are because of persecution. Just tell me my wounds were because of yesterday's war."

" Good noble one." The healer was forced to obey Gong Sheng's wishes because whatever Gong Sheng said was true.

The Emperor could not possibly crack down on the two brothers who had injured him. This will only provoke the empress' family and also the Xi concubine's family. The emperor would later be the most disadvantaged in this matter. Gong Sheng did not want to be blamed in the end in this matter.

After being examined by the healer, Gong Sheng was about to return to his room, but was stopped by the squabbling sounds of people he knew. Soon Gong Sheng headed to the source of the voice out of curiosity.

" If you can't take care of her, then bring her with me!!" jolt Kim Yozu.

" She was my son.. Then the place is here not in your place." Gong Yuan replied.

" Your son you said? The son you kicked out of the palace when he was very young. When she needs affection you throw it away for the reason you want to protect her? Don't talk to me like I don't know what you're doing behind my back." Gong Yuan huffed.

Gong Sheng could only let out a long sigh when he saw who was fighting and witnessed by everyone in the village. Gong Sheng knew that if the two were to be met it would only add to the chaos. The two will not get along at any time. And Gong Sheng's regret grew even more when he saw someone present enliven the atmosphere.
