Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 697 - Happy Or Sad

In the Wang Residence, when Wang Fuxing knew about the presence of the Sixth Prince in the house, he went to meet him.

"The Sixth Prince is here and nobody informed me," Wang Fuxing's loud voice fell in the ears of Lei Wanxi which intimidated him. He immediately turned and saw Wang Fuxing coming towards him.

Lei Wanxi brought his hands up and bowed before him. "Warm and Humble greetings to the Ex-General," he said and put his hands down. Wang Fuxing walked to him and pulled him into a hug.

"Prince Wanxi has grown up to be so handsome," He pulled away and patted his shoulders.

"The Ex-General still has the same strength which I felt years ago. My shoulders started to ache," Lei Wanxi remarked and they both smiled.

Wang Fuxing fisted his hands. "The intense practice for years made them like this," he stated.

"Was the Sixth Prince not wanting to see me? Is that the reason I was not informed?" He glanced at Huo Jin.

"The Ex-General knows his student well. You used to be so harsh in training. I had to make every kind of excuse to run away from the class," Lei Wanxi asserted and passed a tiny smile to Wang Fuxing.

Huo Jin and Xu Wenhai smiled too while Yin Na was surprised to hear that her father taught the Princes about warfare.

"However, the Sixth Prince did not improve himself. This saddens me," Wang Fuxing said.

"I am learning archery and swordsmanship these days," Lei Wanxi informed him. After Zhu Lin got injured, he started to learn those things.

"I am amazed to hear this," Wang Fuxing said. "Let's go inside and have some tea, Prince Wanxi."

"Sure," Lei Wanxi could not refuse Wang Fuxing.

"Xu Wenhai, thank you for bringing Yin Na home. I heard that you were helping Huo Jin with his work. Please don't trouble yourself with this work. Huo Jin and other servants will handle the work. Please have tea with us," Wang Fuxing offered to him as well.

"I did not even start," Xu Wenhai murmured. "Sure," he stated and they both left with Wang Fuxing to the guest-chamber.

"You should go too," Huo Jin told Yin Na. "Take some rest," he suggested to her.

"I will get married soon. Are you happy with this?" She peered at him with desperation.

"Young Master!" A servant came to Huo Jin and their eyelock broke. Huo Jin looked at the servant and asked him about it. New chapters are published on N(o)v????l(F)ire

"The materials are here. Please check them once," the servant told Huo Jin, who left with him, leaving Yin Na behind. Her eyes turned misty because Huo Jin was not reacting at all.

"Now, even if he begs me, I will not go to him," Yin Na muttered and left for her room.

Huo Jin, on the other hand, thought, 'I do not know whether I am happy or sad about it. My thoughts are still fluctuating. Sometimes, I feel good that she will go to such a great household, but sometimes, it annoys me. The way she makes comments bothers me.' He turned to look if Yin Na was still there, but she had left already.

Sheng Li sent Wang Hao home, however, did not go with him since he had to converse with Jian Guozhi, Nianzu, Xiao Zhan, and Commander Yang about the situation in the region of the Eastern Province.

They gathered in the private chamber.

"Brother Sheng, we both will sneak among them… try to find what is the real reason before starting a strategic plan against them," Nianzu voiced his opinion.

"However, both the Princes need to be in disguise. Changying town is near to Luoyang and there's a possibility that people must have seen you both," Sheng Li advised them. He rested his palms on the edge of the table and looked at the map before him.

"Brother Jian, Brother Nianzu, it is the main center of uprisings," Sheng Li lifted his right hand and grabbed the brush. He made the circle on the map. "We will deploy the army at these borders," he stated.

"Your Majesty, if we deploy the army at the border, then it may raise suspicion in them," Commander Yang suggested.

"Securing the borders is important. The strength of the masses cannot be ignored. Unlike South-Western province rebellions, the situation here is different. People are with that unknown man," proclaimed Sheng Li.

Jian Guozhi agreed with him. "Deploying the army is important. We cannot let them degenerate this region from the Han. It is an important economic region for us," Jian Guozhi announced.

"The army will be deployed in a way that the people in Changying Town will not find out about it. Brother Jian and Brother Nianzu will analyze the situation in the region. At most a week is enough. Also, do not let yourself get harmed in any way," Sheng Li told them.

"Your Majesty, the leader had taken a woman as the hostage. What about it?" Commander Yang asked. "We need to rescue her," he stated.

"Brother Jian and I will look into it. Since this unknown person has the support of the town and village people, I do not think that he would harm the woman. Instead, he may have some demands which are still unknown to us," Nianzu calmly answered his query.

"If anything wrong happens, without any delay send the message to me. I will come to Changying," Sheng Li again stressed his words.

"The Empress is pregnant. The Emperor shall be around her. Though, we think such a situation will not arise," Jian Guozhi affirmed.

"I hope so, Brother Jian. However, I have a duty towards this Empire as well," asserted Sheng Li. "Please inform your respective wives about this," Sheng Li told the two Princes.

Jian Guozhi and Nianzu stood up and before him. They left the private chamber.

"Xiao Zhan, Commander Yang, don't let the fight break out in any way," Sheng Li stated.

"Yes, Your Majesty," they both said in unison.
