QT - My Destiny

3.3

Ian entered the hall after the eunuch announced his arrival.

Ian sat on the cushion in the right side of the Emperor. In the left side that handsome man was sitting. This time he clearly see the red string tied in his finger. His eyes smiled.

The Emperor smiled "Zhen wanted to introduce you. Ah Sian didn't see him for many years as Ah Sian went for training under your respected grandfather and then left to border. This is Zhen's only brother, the great prince Yan ChuNian and Ah Sian's fiance."

Ian screamed inwardly "Coco. We can complete our mission."

Coco sent a message "How?"

"The great prince is this General's betrothed Prince and hubby."

Coco : "....." oh...wait.....wowwwww...great.

Ian smiled at his hubby. Great Prince was stunned to see his smile. "Yes. Your Majesty. "

He looked at Yan ChuNian tenderly "Your highness great prince"

Great Prince also greeted back "General Ian" and smiled politely.

As per the plot, the Emperor throw a banquet that night in the honour of the Soldiers. Ian was sitting in the table just below the Royal Family beside Great Prince.

He can feel Great Prince peeking on him time to time.

Coco was also lying beside him. Because Coco is there almost nobody dares to come talk to General Ian.

The Palace guard announced "Great General Duke Feng is here."

Ian looked at his so called Grandfather and stood up.

Grandfather Feng came and patted his shoulder "Well done Ah Sian.  Grandfather is very happy."

Ian took a step back and bowed "Ah Sian greets the Grandfather."

Grandfather Feng noded and sat with him.

This time it was arrival of Emperor  with his Empress and Concubines. "Emperor and Empress are here."

Every one stood up and bowed "Long live the Emperor. May Your Majesty lives thousands of years."

Emperor Yan sat on his throne "Haha. Sit down. No need for formalities. Today is for the honour of our war heroes. Zhen is very happy.  Our friend is back after so many years."

Even if Emperor said this, would anyone dare  not to follow the customs.

The Empress sat on her sit while the Concubines sat on two sides a level below.

This is the first time Ian looked at the Empress and the Concubines. "Coco. Tell me the background of the wives of Emperor."

Coco : Empress is only daughter of the Prime Minister. She and the Emperor has a little son, Prince Yan Jiheng. Concubine Lu is second daughter of Grandmaster Lu who had taught the Emperor in young age and she had a daughter, Princess Yan Jilin with the Emperor. Lastly Concubine Yin is princess of Yin Kingdom. She..."

"Wait. Concubine Yin is from Yin Kingdom. Investigate her throughly." Ian frowned inwardly.

Coco : "okay. Host. Concubine Yin don't have any child with the Emperor. The Prince and the Princess are sitting in front of the Great Prince."

Ian looked at the kids. The boy is around 7-8 years old while the girl is 4-5 years old.

Ian nodded and took a sip of ancient wine " yes. Original owner didn't betrayed the kingdom but someone else did. Who framed him."

Ding~

Hidden Mission : Find out who framed Original owner.

Ian : "..."

Coco : "...Host....Host...."

Ian looked at Coco who is also looking at him. He patted his head and blurted out "What?"

Coco : "Someone served wine with aphrodisiac  to Great Prince. Aphrodisiac has taken its effect. I am sorry host. I didn't know before."

Ian's eyes darkened.  "Check about it carefully"

Ding~
Side Mission : Save the Great Prince.

Side Mission : Find the truth about the night of banquet.

Ian saw Great Prince taking leave because he is feeling unwell. He stood up and bowed to the Emperor "your Majesty. Please grant me leave. This general wants to see what happened to this general's fiance the great prince."

His words represent that the great prince is his fiance and he cares about him.

The Emperor laughed "Sure. Sure. Zhen gives you the permission."

Ian bowed again and retreated "Thanking your Majesty."
