The Second Prince's
Chapter 23

Yi Feng continued to listen to every utterance that came out of the three, he felt unfair to that Lin village.

"Thank you, if you don't want to fight, that's all we can do, right?" said it.

"accept? How could... We won't get any benefit from there, "the Emperor's retirement.

"Grandfather, do you know a saying?

While diving for water, do you know what it means?" asked Yi Feng.

"We don't understand what you mean, Feng'er" Emperor Xian said.

"By accepting their request, we do two things and also benefit a lot from that Lin village," Yi Feng replied.

"There's no advantage, Feng'er.

When winter comes, we also experience almost the same things as their kingdom. What's more if the snow season is prolonged, many people are experiencing hunger" said retired Emperor

Yi Fang chimed in, "It caused us to take out the food supplies from the palace warehouse to help them."

"And our kingdom can be destroyed from within" Emperor Xian said.

Yi Feng shook his head, "No, we still benefit from that Lin village...

In addition, there are no residents living in the hilly area, right?" Asked Yi Feng.

"Indeed, but what advantage did that Lin village get? There are inhabitants" said the retired Emperor.

"Of course from apples and their potatoes, we'll benefit from that." Connect Yi Feng.

"Feng'er, listen to us-"

"No, Your Grace. I'll make sure we benefit from it, I'll give you the information tomorrow. Calm down and trust me, when you're going to have a discussion with the ministers, let me know that I'm there too. I will do my best to help people," Yi Feng asked.

"Alright, I'll wait for you in my study tomorrow morning before the meeting with the ministers." Emperor Xian.

"Good, Dad. I will immediately bring the example I said, but it seems like I need my Brother's help," Yi Feng said staring at his twin brother.

"Me?" Show it to yourself, "Alright, I'll help you," Yi Fang replied resignedly.

Since there was nothing more to talk about, Emperor Xian and the Retired Emperor passed from the Moon Palace, leaving the two brothers behind.

Yi Feng took his brother to his room, there they still saw a small figure who was still faithfully closing his eyes.

There was only silence in there, until Yi Feng opened his voice.

"So I can rest, I'll go to my reading room for a while and find my inspiration there."

Staring at his sister, Yi Fang threw out his rough breathing.

"Will it not be faster if I accompany you? You may need my help later," he said.

Yi Feng nodded, "You can wait for me in the next room, I'll take the book first,"

"Yu Chen.." called Yi Feng, the young man who had been outside the room immediately entered.

"Hamba, Your Majesty." Answer Yu Chen.

"Take my brother to the next room, I'll go to my reading room first. I'll take something,"

"Good,"

...*****.....*****...

In a different place, it was Lio Guan who was the Emperor that was currently ruling.

The man was pondering something, considering how the sudden change had happened to his second son.

It was not without reason that his son had shut himself off from the outside world. A few years ago, from the moment when his beloved sister visited them for the last time, Lio Guan vividly remembered that his second son could see the spirit of his Sister.

It brings happiness to him, he really hopes his sister's soul will visit them at a later time, even though he himself did not see but there is still his son who can see the spirit.

But what would she hope would never happen if she asked her son "Did your aunt come to visit again today?"

Then the answer is "No, aunt does not come. But he saw another spirit,"

At first everything went well, even the boy was seen playing by himself, laughing and looking happy on his own, but if asked why the laugh little Yi Feng would answer "My friend accompanied me to play, but if you ask him why the laugh little Yi Feng will answer "My friend accompanied me to play, he made me a lot of jokes"

The more day little Yi Feng looked strange in the eyes of the people, but Lio Guan was very fond of that son, his two sons made his heart feel warm.

Until Yi Feng suddenly fell ill, and when examined by the healer said if there were Yin energy around Yi Feng was small, and Yin energy was very dangerous for one's body, The Yin Enegi itself is said to be an evil energy.

Mo Chen, one of the Pillars of the seven pillars said if he also saw a child who always played with little Yi Feng. Mo Chen himself was an Indigo, the last pillar cared for by Liu Mei.

It was supported by the other six pillars, they did not doubt Mo Chen's vision.

Lio Guan who knew this felt a bad feeling what else he also knew if this Yin Energy was extremely dangerous for a child as small as Yi Feng.

He requested that Mo Chen would speak to the spirit to no longer disturb his son, asking that the spirit leave his Son immediately.

After some time, Yi Feng finally returned as cheerful as ever. But as time went on, little Yi Feng started to fear the Spirit, what else he could not tell the difference between the spirit and the Manusi.

This really shook for Lio Guan, he saw for himself how scared his son was when he was with her. The boy would say there was a creepy-faced man standing at the door, always bothering him, and all the other bad things.

Back then Mo Chen would definitely chase him away, his body was still a child yet he ventured to protect the little Yi Feng well from the evil spirits.

Lio Guan saw clearly the frightened face of the boy, but he saw courage in it as well.

Little Yi Feng from time to time would only play with his twin brother, and in the residence of his children was installed a large amount of spirit filler talisman paper.

This was intended to protect the little Yi Feng from the spirits who had evil intentions on the child.

The two will play inside the residence, study together, and all activities are done together.

But when he turned 8, Yi Fang was crowned Crown Prince, the child was required to learn more from his younger brother. Learning all the things a future emperor would have to do, left him with little time to play with his twin brother.

While little Yi Feng would play by himself, he was also given a servant who was 10 years older than him to take care of everything he needed.

Little Yi Feng would just read his book, eat, then play for a while and go back to reading books. If the book is finished, he will change to another book, visit the library that was made especially for him, eat and sleep. All rights are done continuously until he began to be a teenager, never talk much, anti-social, and closed himself in his residence until he reached adulthood.

Lio Guan never forgot to always visit his son, he would take time to look at the boy, talk to him, but never get many words out of his mouth.

Even since his brother was made Crown Prince, the boy also started wearing a mask to cover his face, never taking it off in front of others including his own servants. Causing the servant to ask to be assigned elsewhere, and handing over his younger brother in order to become the second Prince's servant, the current Yu Chen.

Mo Chen himself never again met Lio Guan, including the other pillars, they would only appear when Lio Guan called them in times of emergency.

But what Lio Guan did not know until now was, The Pillars have always protected and helped them secretly.

Every month, the Retired Emperor would place 7 bags of gold coins inside his Daughter's den in the military barracks, all of them for the seven pillars, and the seven children would take them for their lives. And the old man also found out that they were protecting and helping the kingdom secretly, reporting information that not even everyone knew about him, this was what caused the Xian Empire to stand firm to this day.

Once a year, on the day Liu Mei's death will be held in the palace, all the people will close the door of their homes and pray that Liu Mei's spirit can be calm in the world of eternity. Everyone will be sad that day.

And the seven pillars will also be present, they represent the children of Liu Mei, and are recognized as members of the royal family secretly, but never show themselves before the public.
