Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Meet the Queen Mother

Arriving in Jhajhanan mainland, Xili Kingdom. Zhaoling rushed into the Palace through the main gate. The guards immediately opened the gates when they saw the Third Prince, or their Warlord, coming. Although Zhaoling had left Xili for several years, but the position of Commander still had nothing to fill with the reason that there was nothing as good as Zhaoling in organizing the Military.

But, Zhaoling did not care about it because his arrival was not to return to live in the Palace, but to visit both his parents and grandmother.

Everyone looked down respectfully at him as Zhaoling passed by. There were also those who did not know who he was because of Zhaoling's simple appearance by wearing commoner clothes. The servants and soldiers who did not bow their respects to him were those newly recruited by the Concubines and Princes to serve them.

"Hey. Why would a commoner enter the Palace so freely! Walk so arrogantly without bowing respect to the soldiers here. Do you want to be punished!" reprimand the soldiers who stand guard in the inner palace.

They blocked the man's footsteps by crossing the two spears in front.

Zhaoling who received a reprimand then turned his head. "sorry. Are you the new guy here?"

"I've been here a long time, almost two years. And you who just came to act like you're the owner of this palace. Get on your knees and apologize to me, then I'll let you go!" he said rudely.

The man just smiled wryly. It turned out, it had been two years since he left his Kingdom. Worth calling her home, maybe they miss her. Zhaoling did not yet know the reason he had been summoned to the Palace again by the Emperor via a flying message.

"So you wouldn't let me into the inner palace if I didn't kneel to you?" asked Zhaoling coldly.

"of course! I should also know your purpose in coming here and breaking through the front gate guards! They can let people like you enter freely into the Palace" said another soldier.

Before speaking again, Zhaoling patted the two soldiers on the shoulder. "It's very good your firm attitude. Maintain it!" he commended.

"Currently, you're praising us for being allowed in!" cibir both while pushing Zhaoling's body hard, but it turned out that his body did not move a bit from its place. "Hey, who are you really? Why so stubborn?!"

Before Zhaoling answered the two soldiers' questions, a military soldier came over. He immediately knelt before Zhaoling, "Honor the Commander!"

They turned to the soldier. In fact, the two soldiers looked at each other to hear the words of the military soldier. "Pa-Commander!" both are smearing.

Zhaoling raised his hand. "Wake up!" he said as he approached. "I want to meet the Emperor" he continued.

The soldier immediately stood up and allowed Zhaoling to walk first. "Please, Commander. The Emperor is already waiting for you in the reading room,"

The man simply nodded and immediately stepped into the reading room without looking back. While the two soldiers were seen to be grieving his stupidity for blocking the path of someone who has the highest office in the military. Not only in the military, this person's position is also the highest among the other Princes.

"Death us. Turns out that guy was Commander Zhaoling,"

Zhaoling entered the reading room where his father was there, already waiting for his arrival with longing. He approached the middle-aged man who was focusing on the pile of papers on his desk. "Honor to the Emperor. May you live a long and healthy life always!" he said right in front of his father.

The emperor looked up to his son. He got up from his seat, then hugged Zhaoling so tightly. "I still can't believe that you're coming, Zhaozu" he said, unraveling his embrace. "Where are Xin'er and your two shadow bodyguards?" asked while glancing behind his son's body.

"He can't come, Dad. Because Xin'er is pregnant!" slow down so no one can hear it. Zhaoling was afraid that a spy from the enemy would find out that his wife was pregnant and would try to harm them while he was in Xili.

The Emperor seemed happy to hear the news. "God, thank you for giving us offspring in my daughter-in-law's womb" she said, thankfully clenching both hands. "But you've ensured his safety, haven't you!"

"Sure, Your Majesty. Liu Wei and Yu Xuan must have taken care of it for me" Zhaoling said.

All the events are told to Zhaoling without a hint, because he trusted his third son more than others. While Zhaoling himself listened to all the words of his father carefully, and of course with the existing estimates.

The news that made Zhaoling shocked was Zhaohan's betrayal of the kingdom. Didn't that arrogant man want the throne of the Xili empire? Why did he choose to leave the kingdom and join another kingdom in order to bring down his own kingdom? And the most surprising is that the kingdom that supports Zhaohan is the Kingdom of Jhixang which is now held by Emperor Jhianglie, the man who claimed to be his wife's childhood mate.

How could Jhianglie give support to Zhaohan who had such a temperament? What kind of deal was going on between the two, which made Jhianglie agree with Zhaohan?

Zhaoling's head felt very sick when he heard his father's story about all the events in this Palace. Even though he did not want to interfere in the affairs of the kingdom, it does not mean that he should not care about the chaos that occurred here. That way, Zhaoling would have to stay longer in the Palace. Then, what about Xin'er and her future child? If only he could split, it would not be confused like this! The question is, can man divide?

"Your Majesty, I will investigate everything to the fullest. But before, I want to see the Queen Mother first!" zhaoling said goodbye.

"All right, boy! Meet your Grandma and your Mother first. They miss you so much" the Emperor replied as he patted his son on the shoulder.

The man nodded with his father's words. He stepped out of the reading room after bowing respectfully.

Now, Zhaoling was in the Queen Mother's room. Netra eagle was now looking down my head, staring with full haru. He sat down and clasped his hands that were beginning to wrinkle. There were no words spoken from his mouth, only silence in the room. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

Slowly, those closed eyes opened little by little. "You here, son?" he tried to talk.

Zhaoling looked up at the face that was already filled with many wrinkles with a faint smile. "You're sober?" he asked back.

There was pain when he heard that his grandson was still acting formally on him. The Queen Mother smiled insipidly, "my mistake is very much. It's only natural that you still can't forgive me, Zhaozu!" said later.

The man immediately shook his head. "It's not like that, Your Majesty. But, it's a form of respect to you!" tampik Zhaoling gives a reason. He knew exactly what his grandmother meant.

The two fell silent for quite a while, before the Queen Mother spoke again. "Didn't Xin'er come?"

"No!" sahut brief.

"Why? Is he still mad at me?" ask the Queen Mother again.

"No! His current condition requires him to take a lot of rest and must not travel far," Zhaoling explained.

"Is he sick?"

Zhaoling shook his head, then a little closer. "He is pregnant!" the whisper was right in the Queen Mother's ear.

The Queen Mother's face became bright when she heard that her daughter-in-law's granddaughter was pregnant. That news was what he had been waiting for all this time and only got now when he was lying weak. The news also seemed to be a cure for the disease he had suffered so far. "Thank you, God!"

"You must recover soon to see our child born" whispered Zhaoling, who was only heard by the Queen Mother.

He nodded with a happy smile. "Take them back to the Palace, for here is your home!" his words were instantly embraced by Zhaoling.

"May I be able to persuade her," now the Queen Mother nodded with the words of her granddaughter.
