Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Heartache

The palace is in mourning. A wife of the Third Prince, or the wife of a Great Commander had been killed on the battlefield.

He fought the rebels tenaciously without giving up one bit. Rela died in order to maintain his pride, what a commendable deed.

Yun Xin. No, but Sin Yoona!

The name written on the tombstone reminds of his strange life struggle, full of twists and turns and bitterness.

A woman who is tough and tough in living a difficult life though. She was Yoona, the woman who should have served as Empress in the next generation, even the greatest possibility would be a Queen Mother.

The Imperial Throne had definitely fallen into the hands of Prince Zhu Zhaozu, or Commander of Zhaoling. Because, he is the only legitimate Prince in the eyes of Royal law to serve as the next Emperor.

While Prince Zhaohan, Zhaoyan, and Zhaokang, all three have been killed on the battlefield and their names are remembered as traitors of the State.

But, despite that, their mother Consort Wang and Consort Bai remained in the Palace at the discretion of Emperor Zhihu.

Happiness does not have to be obtained even though a Crown Prince. In the next life, Zhaoling had to take care of his Son alone without a wife accompanying him. He had to take care of and raise Zhaolie as his late wife mandated in his last days.

The innocent and innocent face of Zhaolie was staring expectantly. Smiling at Zhaoling even in the midst of the bitterness of his father's life. That handsome baby doesn't understand what it's like to lose a mother. All he knows is that someone is now fond of him to sleep and prepare milk to fill his small stomach.

Unfeeling, Zhaoling's tears fell on his son's face. He remembered how they struggled when they wanted to have a child. Xin'er always believed that one day she would become a mother, although the Physician said she would not be able to get pregnant again because her uterus was damaged.

But, with his confidence and patience, he proved that his wait was not in vain. Eventually, Xin'er became a mother. However, the destiny of the Gods always played with his life. When she became a mother, the gods separated them by taking Xin'er's life.

Then, why would God give them offspring if they finally had to separate mother and child?

Zhaoling closed his eyes as his lips dyed the child's face. Although Zhaoling movement is quite hard, but fortunately does not disturb the sleep of the handsome baby.

Tok .. tok .

The door of the room was knocked repeatedly from the outside, making Zhaoling turn towards him.

"Lake in," in short.

It didn't take long, the door was pushed open and opened wide, revealing someone she knew very well. "It's late at night, why isn't the Queen sleeping?" asked Zhaoling without looking.

Although his face looked down at his son, but he knew who the person who entered was. Whether it was known from the sound of his footsteps, or he just estimated it!

Empress Jian approached her Son and Grandchild. He saw the handsome face of the little one that was similar to Zhaoling as a baby, but there were some parts similar to Xin'er, such as her eyes and lips.

"Did he have trouble sleeping?" asked without answering the question that came from Zhaoling earlier.

Zhaoling's tone and attitude change is obvious if he now keeps his distance from his mother. He was cold and indifferent to anyone, including his father the Emperor.

Ever since Xin'er's departure, she still had a lot of big question marks in her heart. Zhaoling has to go the extra mile to uncover the truth about his wife's death.

Yep. At his last moment, Xin'er said something that made Zhaoling shocked in disbelief. Xin'er mentioned that someone around Zhaoling is an enemy in a blanket, one who never likes to see himself happy.

Empress Jian Xia's sorrowful face appeared as her son replied with a flat expression. He rubbed Zhaoling's head gently as he said, "rest, son! You need rest to keep your body healthy. If you're sick, who's gonna take care of Alie? Although I exist and can take care of it, but he needs you more, doesn't he!" sengasihati.

Zhaoling's face immediately turned towards the woman who became his mother. It seems, it is hard to believe that women as good and gentle as this can commit crimes especially against their children and daughters-in-law. "No... No, he couldn't have done that!" inner Zhaoling denied what his wife muttered.

"What might Xin'er mean, the Southern Palace Master? Then ... Consort Wang Xiumeng must be the mastermind behind all of this! She is the mother of Zhaohan and Zhaoyan. Yes, she must be what Xin'er meant!" zhaoling continued.

Seeing that her son was silent, Empress Jian became misbehaved and also unwell. He said goodbye to Zhaoling and passed away from his son's room.

However, before it actually came out, its steps came to a halt when it heard Zhaoling's voice. "Mothers. I will take care of my health" he said, looking over.

Hearing the words of her son, the Empress turned around and immediately hugged Zhaoling who was holding Alie. "Nobody makes a mother's heart happy other than the mother's call from her son" she said sobbing. "Thank you, son!" continue then.

Zhaoling returned his mother's embrace warmly. "I'm sorry, Mother! I really ...."

The Empress immediately shook her head. "No, Son! You don't have to apologize, because you're not wrong. I understand your current situation, so I understand very well." she concluded. "All right! It's late and you two should rest" he said with a smile.

Zhaoling nodded with a smile. "Good, Mom!"

The empress came out of Zhaoling's room feeling happy. Finally, the only son of his puppet was warm again and again called him mother. He stepped into his room with a big smile.

While elsewhere.

"Fuck," he grumbled as he hit the table in front of him. "It turns out the damn woman can still open her voice even though the Devil of death has approached. Brash," he continued slamming the chair.

"Mom, relax! Madam says we don't have to worry about this matter" her son said calmly. "All we have to do is not appear before a member of the royal family, if we don't want to be captured by military forces!" move on casually.

The mother clenched her frowning hand. She was furious that Xin'er could tell that she was the one who did the stabbing to everyone. However, Xin'er did not have time to tell the mastermind behind all these events because her consciousness had completely disappeared. Though, Xin'er had already been told who the woman who became the enemy was in their blanket.

Muning took his breath deeper. It was very difficult to move freely after Xin'er said that she was the one who stabbed him to death. Muning's whereabouts have now been known to everyone, after the truth was revealed in public.

Same with Mingna. The woman could not freely go anywhere because of her mother's case. Although furious, but he was relaxed because he felt that someone was protecting them from danger. What must be done now is to be vigilant and hide as well as possible so that no members of the royal family or soldiers are known. If that happens, they will be dragged to jail, or maybe even worse. They will be put to death at that time.
