The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #93

As Prince Rong and Empress An relax inside their palace, it is different from the kingdom of their enemies. Because this morning all the people in the capital of the country were in an uproar, with the mayaat of one of their princes hanging in a hall that was in the middle of the market of the capital of the country.

"How could the 3rd prince die and his mayaat be hung like that?" Said one of the country's people who saw.

"The 3rd Prince was still wearing battle clothes, it seemed like he had lost and his will was hung by the victorious state." Say something else.

"Right, a few days ago the 3rd prince and his army went to war against the Chao state."

"But why could he hang by still wearing his battle clothes? And also, it smells so bad like this."

"It seems, the emperor did not want to pick up the 3rd prince who died during the war, so the mayaat was hung just like that."

All those who saw the 3rd prince's will stared questioningly, some were insulting the actions of their emperor who did not want to pick up the 3rd prince's will, because after all, some were disdainful, he was a member of the kingdom, there were also those of them who regretted the death of the 3rd prince.

Several royal guards as well as two princes of the country came to bring down the 3rd prince, who was hung in front of the people.

"Prince Rong of the Chao state, is truly abominable. Not even the dead man he let go of." Prince 2.

"Big brother is right, actually I've talked to father to meet emperor Chao and pick up brother 3 mayaat, but father won't."

"Dad is a stubborn person, he will only hear what the first brother said. And the first brother always supports what the father wants. Even this war was because of his will."

The smell of busuuk is very stinging the more teecium, when the mayaat prince to 3 they are lowered. Even his body had softened, as it died with a bruise and also a sword stab from Empress An.

"We must immediately bury the 3rd brother, otherwise his body will be more rotten and destroyed." Prince 4.

"You're right."

The guards, who lowered the 3rd prince's body, placed the mayaat inside the coffin they had brought. And immediately bring the mayaat to the palace, so as not to make more noise there.

After all, the one who died was a prince, and he died on the battlefield. But the emperor did not want to pick up the 3rd prince who had fought for the country.

And of course it made the people of the country wonder, and regret the treatment of the emperor against one of his sons.

After enjoying their breakfast, the prince Rong and the empress who had been prepared were about to depart for the prince Rong pavilion, coming out from inside their room.

"Feng Ying, have you prepared everything?" Said empress An.

"That's it, your honor. I have prepared everything. Your highness the empress doesn't have to worry about anything as long as you're there."

Empress An nodded, "Well, thank you."

"Your Majesty, this is my duty. And I am so happy to be able to help your majesty."

This time prince Rong would only bring empress An alone to his pavilion, therefore prince Rong and empress An had Feng Ying and the others prepare everything.

"Your majesty, do you really want just the two of us to go there?" Queen An said to Prince Rong.

"Yes, I'll do everything for you. And I don't want anyone else to be with us."

Empress An nodded, "Alright, if that's a noble wish."

Prince Rong clasped Empress An's hand, "I want to enjoy my time with you only. And I don't want anyone else coming with us while we're there."

"Okay, I understand your majesty."

Prince Rong smiled hearing the reply from Empress An.

"Okay, we're leaving now." Prince Rong.

The horse carriage started to move, although there were only 2 people coming along to help them move things, but elsewhere, Xiao Li and Xiao Bo certainly followed Prince Rong and Empress An from afar.

"If you feel tired, you can rest." Prince Rong said as the two of them were inside the carriage.

"Good."

Prince Rong clasped the hand of Empress An, he really felt as if he wanted to keep the empress.

"Your highness, is there a river?" Said empress An.

"Yes, we can go there on foot. Because the river is behind the pavilion."

"Can I catch fish there?"

Prince Rong looked at Empress An, "You can catch a fish?"

"Yes, your highness. I can make a small basket and put it up. The fish will be trapped in that basket."

"Well, we'll catch a fish there. And I'll burn it for you."

"The noble one can burn fish?"

"Of course, all this time I've been living on the battlefield. And while hiding in the woods, of course we should be able to make or find something to eat, when the food supply has been greatly reduced."

Empress An nodded, as she was still alive 100 years ago. He had also done that, but it was in a training from his teacher.

The horse-drawn carriage continued, and they had entered the last city they were about to cross.

Empress An who was feeling tired, could no longer endure the drowsiness that afflicted her.

Prince Rong, who saw the head of Empress An's drowsiness, immediately embraced her and placed the head of Empress An over her shoulder.

"Sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there." Prince Rong.

"Okay, your honor."

Empress An closed her eyes, and she soon fell asleep in Prince Rong's arms.

Prince Rong patted slowly on Empress An's shoulder. She was very happy to see her queen sleeping so soundly at this moment.

"Sleep, I hope after you wake up. You'll come back like the Lin'er I first had."

Gently, prince Rong rubbed the back of Empress An's hand, also wiping the jade ring from her that Empress An was wearing.

"Giok is good, it will look beautiful on the right people." Prince Rong said slowly.

The horse-drawn carriage they rode into a forest that was not so thick, and the road they passed was filled with small rocks, so that the horse-drawn carriage continued to sway and make Empress An wake up.

"You okay?" Prince Rong.

"Yes, I....."

Empress An's words came to a halt as their two eyes stared at each other and locked onto each other.

Prince Rong rubbed slowly on the cheek of Empress An, and because the wheels of the carriage they were riding on stepped on a fairly large stone, making the carriage not so balanced, the, and quickly Prince Rong hugged the body of Empress An so as not to fall.
