Two months have passed since the attack on the village where Gong Sheng was stationed. During that time also the rumor about Gong Sheng who would betray was lost like swallowed by the earth. It was all because of the remark Gong Sheng made as he faced Gong Yuan in the meeting in the village.
Gong Sheng's voice was so loud that it voiced his opinion from his perspective as well as the perspective of others. Gong Sheng was even very brave in front of the palace higher-ups who were accompanying the emperor to come to the village.
Flashbacks
All eyes stared at Gong Sheng's arrival in the room that served as a meeting between the Emperor and all those involved in yesterday's war except for the crown prince and the 4th prince. Gong Sheng was highlighted by everyone because of the news of birds blowing in the capital about the alliance he made to rebel against Xili's rule.
Gong Sheng who was fed up with all of that finally spoke up as well. And it all made everyone present in the room so shocked by the remark that Gong Sheng had made.
" Wouldn't it be funny if people told me I was a traitor. For what reason did I advance to the battlefield against Goryeo five years ago only to finally rebel. Why didn't I do it five years ago? It's all so ridiculous, and you're all sitting here believing in it." Gong Sheng was silent for a moment.
" The crown prince said I was a
traitor and you are vying to believe that. I never wanted the throne if that's what you consider the reason I'm in rebellion. Because no general will ascend to the throne at any time. But another prince could replace the crown prince, not with me. "
" Please think about everything I said today. If I had intended to carry out a rebellion I would have done so long before I became a general. Then, instead of being a rebel, I consciously prefer to walk the same path as my mother rather than be a rebel here." that was what Gong Sheng said that seemed to slap the faces of the palace officials present with the Emperor. This also made the Emperor silent.
Flashback off
The life of the 5th prince and his little family was so peaceful during these two months. Even they were completely inseparable because Gong Sheng obtained a leave of absence from duty due to his injuries. Nothing bothers you, everything is going well at the moment.
If asked how Gong Sheng was related to his other brother, then the answer was more tenuous than before. If normally they would pretend well then now they would not be at all reprimanded. They are like strangers who meet accidentally in a moment. It is nothing more and nothing less.
This made the Emperor concerned, it felt like he had completely failed to become a good father to his son. At that time after the return of the Emperor from the village, the crown prince and the 4th Prince were punished for having committed an act without a word from him and resulted in many people becoming victims. The emperor punished his children so severely that they took revenge on their hearts.
The crown prince and the 4th prince were disappointed by the decision his father made. They felt their father was favoritism towards their fifth sister. It further made their intention to harm the 5th prince become stronger than before. And this is where the crown prince is, his personal headquarters.
" Your Majesty, are you sure of your plan? If it fails then we will perish all." Cheng Li asked.
" Yes, I'm very sure about this. Our troops will join my other brother's army. Ri Yue will not be able to survive if we make continuous attacks. Their endurance is strong but if they are hit many times then they will still lose." said Gong Lie confidently..
" In this month after the fifteenth day when the full moon appears, we do this plan." replied Gong Lie.
" Your Majesty, leave everything to us..."
After everything had been coordinated together, Gong Lie returned back to the palace. He had to push his wife back to help her do what he had been thinking for two months. By using the excuse of his child, Gong Lie was sure that his wife would definitely help him.
A month ago, the crown princess was rumored to be pregnant. When he first found out, the crown princess was so happy, this way her position in the palace would be safe. But one of the clairvoyants at the palace said something that he thought was very unreasonable, but the next incident further convinced him of it.
" His Majesty's son-in-law is a prince. But because in other parts will also give birth to a prince, your child-to-be will lose. If left unchecked, then the one who will occupy the throne of Xili is the prince from the outside of the palace.." said the fortune teller laughs.
The words spoken by the fortune teller made Gong Lie angry but used it to make his wife's family want to help him defeat Gong Sheng. In this way the plan that he had been putting together for many years ago would soon be realized.
On the other hand in the 5th Prince's residence, the entire occupants looked extremely panicked. The mistress of this residence had just fallen down while walking in the garden so as to make her roof break and flow wet the ground. Blood also came out of the stomach of the 5th Prince's mistress making everyone immediately call for a midwife. Lucky midwife has been on standby at the 5th prince's residence since one week ago.
" Get the madam to the room... Immediately convey this news to your majesty. "said the midwife gave the order.
" Good mistress... "
The people who had been surrounding Feng Ai, were now split into two. One went by carrying the body of their mistress to the room, and another soon gave news of the future successor to the general to the father of the baby.
" Mrs, you must endure. Do not let you lose your consciousness. "the midwife tried to talk to Feng Ai so as not to faint.
" hurt.... It hurts my stomach a lot. " murmured Feng Ai once.
" Hold my lady, this is for the sake of the future successor to the general.. "
The midwife who handled Feng Ai tried her hardest to make Feng Ai able to push hard to make her child born. It would be fatal if Feng Ai fainted first before his son was born. There is still a method of splitting the stomach, but it is very risky with death from the mother. Therefore as much as possible the midwife tried Feng Ai to stay conscious.
