The Story Behind the Jade Pendant
Back to the Xiao kingdom

The second prince, who is currently being held in a royal prison, feels that this is unfair to him and intends to take revenge on everyone, who has made him suffer. Although the second prince was in prison, but he could still connect with his subordinates, he also told one of his personal guards to immediately go to one of the state officials who always supported him.

Shortly thereafter, his personal bodyguard said that he would soon be here to meet the second prince. The one who came to see the prince was a state official who was now quite close to the emperor but because he was not satisfied with the performance of the present emperor, he also intended to make a second prince as a successor to the emperor.

Since he was a state official, naturally no one dared to disturb him. He also removed the guards guarding the prison room and replaced it with his subordinates, this way he would freely go in and out of the prison to convey information to the second prince.

after all, he visited the Second Prince, who is currently being held in the royal prison, and he entered and saw the poor second prince, he also supported the second prince to ascend the throne in place of the emperor.

the prince also conveyed his evil plans to the state officials.

"sir Yang, I have a plan you must work out for me"

"what is prince?"

"sir Yang knows, if in my residence there is a bottle of deadly poison that I have long stored and now I intend to use it to the emperor"

"in that case, what does the prince need in order to carry out this plan?"

"i want you to find a servant who often serves the emperor, then you give whatever you want and after that you tell him to give the poison to the emperor's food"

"when the emperor eats the poison, he will feel a terrible pain on the third day after he drinks the poison and before he dies of course I want to negotiate with him for a while"

"and when it comes, you know what to do, don't you, Mr Yang?"

"well prince I understand, I'll find out soon what the prince needs and I'll do it according to the second prince's plan"

"well now you can go"

"good prince"

the second prince intended to poison the emperor and when the emperor was in a weakened state he would certainly take advantage of that state to take back his possessions.

meanwhile, after a few days of sailing they finally arrived also in Xiao kingdom, how happy they were when they could all return to their place.during the journey Xiao Yan did not forget to explain to the third prince, Xiao Yan said, if they fail to find that jade pendant.

the third prince did not expect that the jade pendant they were looking for could not be there, he also felt astonished at its existence.now they will try hard to get the jade pendant. since they already knew if another piece of the jade pendant was in Xiao kingdom, then they intended to help the third prince to obtain the jade pendant.

they finally persuaded the third prince to allow them to enter the royal palace.In fact the third prince did not want to involve them, but because they were forced, he said, the prince was forced to think of a way for them to enter the palace.

Xiao Yan also suggested that they become royal servants who serve the emperor in the palace that way, of course they would be easy to carry out his plans.The third prince was forced to approve of him, and he was not, but since Xiao Yan was a woman he had also suggested that Xiao Yan not join in on this plan.

Xiao Yan refused, he naturally still insisted on joining them. Finally Rong Ji suggested that Xiao Yan be the prince's bodyguard only so the prince would also be easier to keep an eye on Xiao Yan. the third prince also agreed with the advice of Rong Ji, so as not to be caught by others Xiao Yan took the initiative to wear his mask at that time.

after completing the plan, they looked for a way to smuggle Rong Ji and Ye Jing into the royal palace.The third prince invited them to enter the palace and when the guard was empty, the prince would take out two royal guard clothes for Rong Ji and Ye Jing.

luckily they had the opportunity, now Rong Ji and Ye Jing managed to infiltrate the palace by disguising themselves as royal guards. Xiao Yan who was disguised as the third prince's bodyguard, laughed as he looked at his elder cousin who was dressed like that.

but in order to go smoothly the prince asked Xiao Yan to hold himself back, since they were now royal guards, they were both invited by other guards to patrol inside the palace. after succeeding Xiao Yan and the prince went to visit the emperor in the palace.

but the emperor seemed to be busy with his work, because the emperor was busy finally the third prince and Xiao Yan chose to leave and they continued to the first prince when they got there, he said, the first prince continued to pay attention to Xiao Yan, probably because Xiao Yan was disguised with a mask and out of curiosity the first prince asked.

"sister, is he your new bodyguard?"

"graceful greetings" Xiao Yan said

"hehe actually..."

"please I know, you don't have to answer. Now please sit down Miss Xiao and sister"

"easy as it is, if I notice you look a little nervous and you don't show that you're a bodyguard either, but you look like your sister's partner and your voice sounds like a woman's"

"haha.it is fitting that the first prince can immediately know, even though I have tried to hide this"

"then why are you disguised as a sister's bodyguard? and what are you wearing that's a mask?"

"hehe when it comes to that matter, because I want to help the third prince to look for the jade pendant and the first prince said it is true, indeed, this is the special mask I made while going to Long Kingdom"

"a good mask, even if viewed from a close or far distance, is still exactly the same as a human face in general"

"yes, the prince"

"then brother, what about the second prince? is the emperor's father still holding him back?"

"the second prince while in prison is still fine, but I advise you not to go visit him, because you know for yourself he really has a big grudge against you and for now the emperor is still holding him so you don't worry"

"It's good then, then my brother saw that the emperor was so busy with his work, what's going on?"

"really, lately the emperor is busy.the emperor is busy with the problem of the flood disaster that is sweeping the eastern region in the Xiao kingdom and you know for yourself if it is now the rainy season"

"sorry prince, is there a dam or something?"

"what is a dam? can it withstand a flood?"

"prince, a dam is a building that has a function to hold or accommodate the water flowing from the river, the dam, so the water flowing from the river will be more controlled with this dam and with this dam, we can monitor the flow of river water"

"it sounds like a good idea, well I'll suggest the idea to the emperor's father and ask him to build a dam there immediately"

"yes, that's a good idea"

"then brother, is there any suspicious movement from the second prince"

"a few days ago I saw someone enter the royal prison, it's possible that it was the second prince"

"yes then we have to be careful and don't let him escape from that place, otherwise he will definitely make a big deal for us"

"yes you're right, I told my subordinates to continue monitoring the movements of the second prince, so if there is any suspicious movement then I will inform you immediately"

"Hem.. alright, brother, then I'll resign first, because there are things that I have to do right now"

"alright"

they left the first prince and after the first prince got the idea from Xiao Yan, he decided to tell the idea to the emperor when he arrived at the emperor's place, he immediately said the idea to the emperor and the emperor strongly agreed with the idea and the emperor told the first prince to go to deal with the matter.

since the first prince was assigned to go deal with the flood, he then relayed a message to his younger brother the third prince to help the emperor in the palace and also help him monitor the movements of the second prince. the third prince who got the message, went straight to the palace to deal with it.

at dinner tonight, there was a waiter who looked suspicious, but since the servant often delivered food to the emperor, the emperor was certainly not suspicious of him. after the servant finished delivering the emperor's food, he immediately left.After the servant left, the emperor immediately devoured the food brought by the servant.

it turned out that the waiter who brought the food was a man of the state officials or Mr. Yang, after the servant did his duty, he immediately packed his things and left the palace. one of the first prince's subordinates knew the strange gurgle of the servant.

since the first prince was not in the palace, he immediately told the third prince, and he told his other friend to go after the servant. but had not been able to go far from the palace the servant was dead hit by a poisoned arrow coming from the direction of darkness. allegedly for fear of the secret was revealed, it was revealed, taun Yang was forced to tell his subordinates to finish off the servant's life. Now they failed to catch the servant and the third prince became increasingly suspicious of the incident.he immediately informed the first prince.

knowing something was wrong, the third prince immediately went to see the emperor, but after arriving at his place, the emperor looked fine and nothing happened to him. the third prince was astonished by that, but in order to ascertain the condition of the emperor he deliberately included one of his subordinates in the emperor's palace, so that he could know the state of the emperor later.
