Chapter 29
Today the crown prince decides to visit chunshi mansion, where prince xuan and his queen live. I don't know what purpose she came to but now she has reached her doorstep.
The carriage on board has been parked in front of the residence. Yet helian Chen was hesitant to come down even though the intention of the heart wanted to visit here.
"Ha..."
Helian Chen let out his long breath. Until he got off his horse and made his way to the chunshi mansion entrance.
There are two soldiers in front of the chunshi mansion. Feeling an honorable crown prince, helian Chen ignored the two soldiers and wanted to enter the residence directly.
- sret!
"Wait!"
The two soldiers crossed their spears at the open door. The helian Chen's pace was blocked by the two soldiers' gate.
"I'm sorry, general xue banned outsiders from the chunshi mansion before returning!" said one of the soldiers loudly.
"What? How dare you tell the crown prince not to run!"
The crown prince's trusted people were immediately provoked when the two soldiers in front of him stopped the road. The sharp sword that was brought out of its sheath was pointed at the soldier's loud voice.
"We're just following orders. The crown prince can come again once general xue is back at the mansion!" echoed the soldier.
There is no fear nor hesitation in saying. The blade is sharp in front of us and ready to strike. But asa soldier trained by general xue, no weapon can be used to shake the body let alone inspire fear. If dead, then dead asa soldier who obeys his superiors' orders. Never go against what the general has decided.
"Shi cheng, withdraw your weapon," ordered the crown prince on his underlings.
"But your majesty ..."
The crown prince's trusted man still seems reluctant to listen to his master's orders. He still wouldn't lower his sword from the front of the soldier's face at the gate.
"You have already begun to defy my commands!" the second time, the crown prince Cetus.
With heavy heart the man named shi cheng pulled back his sword and put it in his sheath. There is a reluctance to punish the soldiers who have dared to block their master's steps inside the chunshi mansion.
"I'll wait here until general xue returns."
The crown prince walked back and entered his chariot. He insisted on waiting inside the chariot until the general returned to chunshi mansion. Not wanting to cause a fuss, which is why helian Chen doesn't want a battle at the chunshi mansion entrance. He relays and awaits the return of bai xue jian.
While inside the chunshi mansion, prince xuan has received word from feng yun about the crown prince's arrival. He who is still in the room has not decided what to do after hearing news of his second brother's arrival.
"The crown prince refused to make a scene and forcibly entered the chunshi mansion. He volunteered to wait until bai xue jian returned. This must not be so simple. What exactly does he want to do?"
Helian qi was suddenly very curious about the arrival of the crown prince to visit his residence. After all this is the first time helian Chen has visited, since the younger brother has not come to see her since helian qi left the royal palace and lived at the chunshi mansion.
Maybe even helian qi didn't know his brother's face after having not seen him for years. I've been living in a mansion and not allowed to go out so carelessly. If you sneak out to take care of the essentials.
Tok tok tok ...
"Prince, I've come to bring you a sweet snack."
Someone suddenly knocked on the door and yelled out there. Helian qi awoke from his reverie and immediately climbed onto the bed to pretend he was awake from his nap.
krieet ...
The bedroom door was opened by the person, who turned out to be shan dai. In his hand had carried a tray of some of the prince's favorite roses.
"Hooaaammm ...." Helian qi evaporated so long that his mouth opened at such an extent.
"Hmm ... What's the matter? Is jian 'er back?" helian qi asked while rubbing his eyes.
"You're not back yet. I come bring sweets to you as ordered by madam yesterday," said shan dai.
"madam said not to return to the residence today. There was much to be done in the yunlin camp," it went on.
"Oh, crumbs. Then I want to go back to sleep. "To rise the 'er to rise," prince xuan said.
Prince xuan, who was still sitting on the bed, went straight back to bed, pulling up his blanket. He shut his eyes after saying he was going to take another nap.
"Well, I'll put his rose cake on the table. The prince can eat it anytime."
Shan dai put the rose cake he brought to a table not far from the bed. When she had finished, she stepped out of the room and closed the door again so as not to disturb the prince's nap.
Finally, only after the servant left the room did helian qi open his eyes and stop the charade he was playing.
Helian qi has discovered the fact that his wife won't return to the chunshi mansion until tomorrow. Didn't know what there was to deal with.
But it was the crown prince who waited in front of the chunshi mansion for the arrival of bai xue jian. Helian qi wondered if his half-brother would really wait until bai xue jian's return tomorrow.
"If helian Chen will really wait for bai xue jian, then what I think is true."
***
The next day.
It was then that bai xue jian returned to the chunshi mansion. When his horse was about to arrive at the chunshi mansion gate, the steps came to a halt when he saw the carriage that landed ahead.
Bai xue jian knows clearly whose horse carriage belongs to Since he is often seen, there is no need to guess who is coming to visit the chunshi mansion this morning.
Tuk tuk tuk ...
The horse went back and finally stopped right behind the stagecoach. Bai xue jian climbed down from the top of his favorite horse and started to walk to the front gate.
"General xue has returned." Shi cheng who sat in front of the carriage sontak stood up when he saw the person his master had been waiting for since yesterday.
Shortly thereafter the crown prince stepped down from his chariot after hearing bai xue jian had come from a trusted confidant.
"You are back, jian 'er."
