There was a delay before they finally reached the Heaven Palace.

At the moment where the black and white horses passes at the Mountain Palace. A certain Prime Minister managed to stop them just right under the bridge to the entrance gate of the Mountain Palace. Most importantly when the Prime Minister figured out who was the man in the black armor and the same man who abandoned the paper works on that day. He must stop them! And perhaps do his scolding.

Prime Minister Chang glared at the disguised Emperor.

Truly, he should be more respectful towards the Emperor but this Emperor is not diligently doing his work and just dumb the loads to the side without leaving a note of his whereabouts. If only the Lord Chang should have known that his love sick best friend misses the Empress so much that the Emperor, himself disguised as one of his shadow guards.

The Emperor sweat drops, seeing the visible dark auras coming from his most trusted Prime Minister. He clasped his fist to his other hand's palm and do his greeting "Prime Minister Chang. Good day"

The Prime Minister only hmmed in reply and averted his gazed.

"A Good day to you, Father" the young Lord Chang greeted his father while holding his Red Daisy on his arms securely. "Greetings, Lord Prime Minister Chang. May your day be blessed" Little Feng greeted next respectfully towards the Prime Minister.

Oh! How the Lord Chang wished it was really blessed!

He also noticed the golden bracelets that sparkles under the sun's light from his son and the young man's wrists.

'Ah! I want grandchildren'

He sighed dejected on his lonesome dream corner of being a grandfather in the future but if fate decided then he will respect it. He smiled at the two "Greetings to you as well"

"Qiang'xiông!" Wenhe Jie called joyfully towards his older best friend that he haven't seen for a long time "How are you? I hope Tiānzì isn't troubling you... again or is he now." Wenhe Jie asked as he meaningfully glanced at the man beside him.

The Prime Minister Chang Qiang chuckled at his best friend's correct intuition and it seems his best friend hasn't changed at all "Welcome back and safe, Diànxià. I am well and you are correct. Tiānzì is really on troubled" he glared at the disguised Emperor.

Everyone knows what that glared means except for one and after a minute, he realized something.

"Ti...Tiānzì" Little Feng looked at the black armored man and turn to his very dear Uncle "Diànxià" his jaw dropped slightly.

The beautiful youth is now astound of what he heard.

Little Feng looked at his Big brother with his troubled expression "The man... his.. his..." he stuttered. Chang Yihuo can't help to caressed Little Feng's cheeks lovingly and nodded at the troubled boy in his arms.

Chang Yihuo is indeed surprised how his Red Daisy could read people's reaction and interaction in minutes. Very good that his Red Daisy never let his guard down.

"Then... Uncle... your... your.." Little Feng stuttered while looking at his Uncle.

No wonder his Uncle is always away from home and never came visit them, only in rare occasions just like today. Nor receiving any news of his Uncle having a relationship with a woman or a man. Speaking of today, it means that Uncle has no connection inside the Royal Palace from his sudden early enrollment because his Uncle is the secret Empress of the Kingdom of Yusan and the wife of the....

Little Feng quickly saluted the man in black armored who is by now revealed his handsome face to everyone "This young man greets the Emperor and the Empress. May you two live in longevity" he bowed his head while his Big brother grip him tightly from his waist so he won't get stumbled off on top of Beast.

The Emperor is very impressed how quick his little nephew in perceiving the situation from the people around him and this traits are very familiar to someone who is dear to him, his Wife!

'Very scary duo'

Wenhe Jie pouted at his nephew "Don't addresses me that, Ah'Feng. You are my dear nephew. Please call me Uncle always and at any time"

Little Feng blushes a little "Yes, Uncle Jie. Is just that? Your the secret Empress and your the Son of Heaven's wife..."

"And do you have questions to that, Young master Feng?" The Prime Minister asked immediately.

"Oh! No. I have no question of their love, Lord Chang. Is just that, Why do you need to kept it a secret to everyone else? Homosexual couples are now acceptable in our kingdom but not all and whoever Uncle's loves, I accept it and I am happy for him" he smiled wholeheartedly for everyone to see but then he get sad at the thought "Then why? Uncle never visit us because... he was kept in the Royal Palace all this time" he slowly cried. He is very fond of his Uncle Jie and all he could remember that Uncle Jie is the one who could understand him at everything. He dearly misses him so much and admired the young man.

Wenhe Jie wanted to comfort his little dear nephew in his arms but the young lord Chang beat him on a matter of second.

Chang Yihuo quickly pulled litte Feng for a hug and comforts the young boy. Whispering of sweet words and kisses the boy's tears away.

'Ah! You dare!'

No one will have his nephew over his dead body. Wenhe Jie promised to himself. But the problem is the questions of his little nephew.

How he wished to revealed the past to his little Feng but a certain man would be displeased.

The Prime Minister is also very pleased of the beautiful youth's answer and just like Wenhe Jie, he'll be in depth problem if ever they would talk such a undisclosed story of the past events.

"Thank you, Little Feng. For accepting us. As for the reason as to why that I let your Uncle stay at the Royal Palace and kept his title a secret is to kept him safe in my arms, only in my arms and in my home" The Emperor said seriously in such a cold gazed and slowly closes his eyes "Forgive this Emperor for keeping ài-Jie away from you, Little Feng" the Emperor apologized sincerely.

"I forgive you, Your Majesty. But keeping Uncle safe, From who?" Little Feng innocently asked.

"This topic is very sensitive, Little Feng. For now, we have to get you to the Heaven Palace" Chang Yihuo patted little Feng's head "But remember, you must kept this very big secret to everyone else even to your family. No outsiders must know" he warned and little Feng nodded in understanding "En." wiping his wet cheeks cutely.

-Ahem- Alert! Needs a distraction for Chang Yihuo.

"Well then as for the Majesty's work loads...." the Prime Minister didn't finish his scolding nor even contuining when the Emperor sprinted passes him and his son just bid good bye to him before they follow the Emperor.

Leaving the Prime Minister in such a bad mood and also, the beautiful youth didn't realized what stored for him in the future. Without knowing, who is real future heir which is the real huge secret for the Kingdom of Yusan.
