Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
The Third Prince's anger

Today, the palace is plagued with grief. The royal Physicians were summoned by the Emperor to his residence to heal the Great Lady of the Harem Palace leader. Yes, She is Empress Jian Xia.

The empress was wounded by a poisoned sword slash by an intruder, while in the Third Prince's residence. He accompanied Xin'er that night, because her daughter-in-law was sad. But unexpectedly, the fateful incident had to befall him due to three intruders into Zhoseng Palace.

The purpose of the intruders going in there was most likely to kill the Third Prince or his wife. There was no sign of the loss of valuables from the room, which meant they were not robbers. After all, which fool would rob the inner Palace and also come while the soldiers were on patrol.

Who would dare to do something like this to attack the royal family? Do they have deep connections, making it easier for them to enter the Palace without the guards knowing? That was never thought of by everyone, because they were currently being preoccupied by the Empress' condition.

Empress Jian Xia was lying weakly helpless. His eyes were covered with a face that was deathly pale and blue, his body was ice-cold as well. The Physicians continued to try to save his life, but until now there was no sign of movement from him.

Really am. This sight made everyone's heart ache, especially Xin'er who clearly saw the fateful incident with her own eyes. The Emperor ordered a tightened guard throughout the Palace, especially its residence. Everyone cannot go in and out of the Palace, without permission from the Emperor. If anyone defies and stays in, then he will have to bear the consequences by going to jail.

Zhaoling, who was meditating in the Northern Prohibition Forest, went straight to the Palace after hearing the news of the attack on Zhoseng Palace. He was very worried about his wife's situation after Liu Wei informed him of the news. However, his face turned even more anxious when he heard his mother who was injured by the poisonous sword slash.

Hearing the news, his blood boiled. He was eager to find the intruders and eliminate them with his own hands.

"Liu Wei, Yu Xuan. Find out who they are! What purpose did they come to my residence! If I find out the facts as I have thought so far, then they should take responsibility!" zhaoling's word to his two shadow guards.

"Ready," said the two then disappeared.

Zhaoling immediately entered the Palace with the appearance of being the Third Prince. Despite the panic, he still remembered to change his identity first.

Arriving at the Palace, he was soon to meet his mother who was lying weakly in her room. Seeing her mother's deteriorating condition, Zhaoling grew angry. His hands became itchy wanting to hit the person who dared to injure his mother to this extent.

"Excuse him! Don't let him enter the Empress's residence again!" the voice of someone Zhaoling knew.

"Please, Queen Mother! Let me in. I want to see the Queen's situation. I beg!" the door while cribbing. Zhaoling knew, it was his wife's voice.

His legs were dragged out to ascertain what was really going on. Why did Xin'er have to beg to be able to enter the Empress's residence? What made the Queen Mother prevent her from entering?

"What's this?" a heavy voice came out from Zhaoling's mouth. Everyone knew that he was currently devastated by the Empress's injuries.

It appeared that outside her mother's room was lined up with many people, ranging from the Queen Mother and her servants, the guards who stood with spears at the entrance, and Xin'er with her two servants who sat on the floor.

"Xin 'er. Why are you sitting on the floor? Come on, get up! You don't deserve to be that kind of moody, "Zhaoling immediately helped his wife to stand up. He also cleaned Xin'er's clothes exposed to dust by patting her slowly. "Tell me, what's really going on?" ask Zhaoling later.

"I-I just want to see the Empress to see how she is, Prince." Xin'er said. "But .." his words just hang with a glint of eyes fixed on the old lady who looked indifferent in front of him.

Zhaoling followed the glance of his wife's eyes, then let out a long sigh. "Come, meet Mother! You must be very worried about her situation, aren't you!" take Zhaoling with him while pulling his wife's hand to enter his mother's room.

But again the Queen Mother acted. He prevented Xin'er from entering by ordering the guards to close the entrance for her. "Guardian. Don't let him in! I don't want the Empress to be cursed because of an unlucky girl like her" he said firmly.

"Mother Suri. What are you saying!" zhaoling snapped at his grandmother. "Why do you hate her so much, to the point of calling her a pesky carrying girl? After all, Xin'er is my wife and Mother's daughter-in-law!" zhaoling again.

Everyone who was there was dumbfounded to hear the Third Prince's words. Normally, the Third Prince never dared to go against his grandmother's orders. But this time, he yelled at the Queen Mother. It was all because for the sake of defending the woman beside him.

"Please!" shouted someone who suddenly appeared behind Zhaoling.

Plaques

A hard slap landed on the smooth cheek covered in the black veil. Although covered in a veil, everyone was sure that his cheeks at this time must have been flushed from the person's hard slap.

Yep. The one who dared to slap that Zhaoling was the Emperor, his own father. He stood with a face full of anger. His hands were clenched by the appearance of green strokes around the wrists.

"Yahanda. Xin'er is not a damn girl! Why did you say that? It's tantamount to insulting me" Zhaoling defended.

"If not the unlucky bearer, then what? My wife slept at your place last night. But, overnight, she was wounded by an intruder who was after your wife's life. Can't that be said to be a bad-ass carrier?" press Emperor.

Zhaoling. He digested all of his father's current speech. Her mother was staying at her residence last night, when she evaded Xin'er yesterday. Did Xin'er tell her the matter of the two of them to her mother, to the point that she had to stay in her room? Why did Xin'er have to tell her mother about personal matters? Nah! Xin'er wasn't a spotty girl like any other whiny girl.

Zhaoling's face now faced his wife. Seen, he was very hesitant to ask. "What does the Emperor say is true, that the Empress is staying at our residence?" Xin'er simply nodded slowly with her husband's question. "So, you told Mother everything?" any more. Xin'er nodded back with a second question.

A long sigh could be heard from Zhaoling's mouth. He clutched his clothes firmly to spill all anger. Why could Xin'er act so foolishly like this? But, if his mother had not stayed at his residence, it was certain that Xin'er was injured at this time.

"Follow me!" Zhaoling took his wife's hand to follow his steps. After arriving at his residence, Xin'er's hand was blown away just like that. Then, he sat down in the chair. "Aren't you able to do martial arts?" Xin'er looked down upon hearing her husband's question. "Don't I give you a weapon to protect yourself?" Again Xin'er just kept silent and did not answer. "Do I have to put guards in my room when I'm not around?"

Xin'er looked up at her husband's question. What kind of question is that? "What did you say? Put a guard in the room? You better not think that way, Your Majesty!"

"Then what? Why is it that when I leave, there are problems like this?" snapped Zhaoling. "And ... Why are you talking about our problems to Mother? You're a spotter girl now?" he pointed it at Xin'er.

"I don't mean to tell you about our problems, Prince! Mother of the one ..."

"What if Mom asks, you have to answer everything honestly? This is our problem, Xin'er. Let no one know about our problems. Whether it's my parents or yours!" hardik Zhaoling again.

Xin'er simply kept quiet by lowering her head. Really am. Her husband is not as usual. The Third Prince who had always been soft-spoken and very affectionate, had now turned out to be very rude and fierce. Xin'er understood, she was angry that her mother's life was threatened and it was all because the incompetent Xin'er was keeping the Empress safe.

"Sorry!" xin'er said sincerely.

However, Zhaoling who was already burning emotions could not control his anger. His love for his mother made him dark. He kicked the chair he had been sitting on until it broke.

Brakkk

Xin'er was aghast as the chair almost hit her body. The quiet Zhaozu turned into a monster.

"You better not get out of here! If you dare to come out without my knowledge, then be prepared to accept the consequences!" threaten Zhaozu then.

After saying that, he stepped out just like that leaving his wife who was currently shedding tears. Zhaozu, filled with emotion, could not see the sadness in his wife's eyes. She was already angry and disappointed by Xin'er who complained about their personal problems to her mother.

After the Third Prince left, Xin'er dropped her body resting on both knees. She did not expect that her husband was angry and did not want to hear any reason from her. 'Zhaozu was being emotional at the moment. Perhaps, after her anger subsides, she will come back and apologize again to me, Xin'er thought.

Xin'er brushed aside all the negative thoughts she had about her husband's rude attitude. He does not want, if the relationship increases because of each selfish attitude. His guilt is now growing even greater, after he yesterday subtly refused the Prince, now must let the Empress hurt in front of his eyes.

Really am. Actually, none of this is what Xin'er wanted. Whatever happens, he should be able to protect everyone who is beside him. But, those intruders had quite high knowledge, so Xin'er couldn't fight it.

"I need to be stronger, so I can protect everyone. I won't let anyone hurt in front of my eyes!" xin'er.

He firmly grasped his fist and encouraged himself to get through all the problems that plagued his life at this time. Let's just say, these are all tests that must be passed by him as best as possible.
