King's Regrets
The Eps 49

It had already been more than half of Xia Lian An's journey from Yu city to Ming country. And his head was already so dizzy, his waist was also very painful due to sitting too long in the car, plus the uneven road.

"I didn't expect that if I would feel this way again, I thought that going to the Ming country with that emperor Shun, would be my last. My plate's almost broken."

Xiao Wei saw Xia Lian An so exhausted, and felt uneasy. He also sat down to sit.

"Miss, miss lie down. I'll massage miss."

Xia Lian An looked at Xiao Wei who looked so refreshed after almost two days of their journey.

"Xiao Wei, don't you feel tired?"

Xiao Wei shook his head "No miss, I'm used to this kind of journey. Quickly miss lie down, miss must be very tired."

Xia Lian An nodded, she was indeed already extremely exhausted and dizzy.

After Xia Lian An lay down, Xiao Wei who was sitting below started to massage Xia Lian An's legs.

"Why are the people of this age so powerful." Xia Lian An muttered as she looked at Xiao Wei who was on her foot.

"What did the lady say?" Xiao Wei asked who had faintly heard the muttering of her miss.

"No, it's okay. I just feel my head hurt a little."

"Miss sleep, I'll wake the lady when she gets there."

"Yes, then I'll sleep."

"Yes, miss."

Xia Lian An then closed her eyes, and slept soundly in no time.

By now they had already passed the border gate of the Ming state, which meant that it would only be less than an hour away that they would arrive at the capital and at the royal palace of the Ming state.

The road that was no longer rocky made Xia Lian An sleep very soundly, until she was still asleep despite having reached the gate of the capital.

Xiao Wei who saw her miss sleeping so soundly did not have the heart to wake her.

Xiao Wei opened the curtains covering the carriage door, and saw that they had already arrived in front of the Ming state royal palace.

"Miss, we've arrived in front of the palace. And his highness the crown prince is already standing in front to greet you." The shadow guard.

"Miss Xia is still asleep, she said. if her head hurts after a long trip. Can you...help me lift my lady, sir?" Xiao Wei said doubtfully.

The shadow guard fell silent, he naturally did not dare to do so. He knew very well the consequences of touching the woman that crown prince Zhang liked.

"You guys wait here first, I'll tell your highness the crown prince first."

"All right then."

The shadow guard left the carriage, and Xiao Wei closed the curtain of the carriage door.

After a while, the train was back on tap.

Xiao Wei opened the door curtain, and was surprised to see crown prince Zhang in front of him.

"Your...."

"Sstttt." Crown Prince Zhang warned Xiao Wei not to be noisy.

Crown Prince Zhang then gestured for Xiao Wei to get off the carriage first.

The understanding Xiao Wei nodded, and carefully got off the carriage.

"Greetings to the crown prince." Xiao Wei said as he saluted.

"Quite the formality, you go with my bodyguards to the eastern palace. I'll carry Miss Xia there." Crown prince Zhang.

"Meng.wielding miss?"

Crown Prince Zhang nodded, then looked at his personal bodyguard who was immediately replied with a nod.

After Xiao Wei left with his personal bodyguard, crown prince Zhang entered the carriage.

"You still look beautiful even when you're asleep, Miss Xia." Crown Prince Zhang muttered as he looked at Xia Lian An's sleeping face.

Crown Prince Zhang then raised Xia Lian An's body carefully, and got out of the horse carriage.

"It seems, it won't be long before we have a daughter-in-law, your highness." Said the queen.

"You are my queen, though we know that she was once the queen consort of the Qin state. But, as long as the crown prince likes it, I won't bother with it."

"Your majesty is right."

Yes, after crown prince Zhang found out that Xia Lian An was no longer together with emperor Shun, he ventured to talk to his parents about his feelings for Xia Lian An.

In addition, crown prince Zhang also said about Xia Lian An who was once the empress of the Qin state who had come to the Ming state with emperor Shun..

The queen and the emperor were initially very shocked, and wanted to oppose crown prince Zhang. But, those who knew that crown prince Zhang had never wanted to be close to a woman became happy, and accepted that Xia Lian An would be their son-in-law.

Crown Prince Zhang carried Xia Lian An to the eastern palace, he did not care about the shocked gazes of the servants and the few palace officials who were in front of the royal palace.

When crown prince Zhang brought Xia Lian An, emperor Shun with some of his guards arrived in front of the royal palace of the Ming state.

Emperor Shun got off the carriage and was immediately greeted by the presiding eunuch and several Ming state royal officials who were waiting for him.

"Jiang'er also invited the emperor of the Qin state. Is this all right, your majesty?" Said the queen when she saw Emperor Shun walking closer to the palace.

"He's no longer in a relationship with Miss Xia, so I don't think anything will happen."

"But your highness..."

"You take it easy, our crown prince is all grown up. He knows what to do, we better go to welcome the arrival of emperor Shun."

"Okay, your honor."

The Emperor and Queen of the Ming state walked up to emperor Shun to welcome his arrival in their country.

"Welcome, my lord Shun emperor, I hope you don't mind returning to our country." The emperor of Ming.

"Of course not, I'm very happy to get this happy invitation."

"Then, I thank emperor Shun."

"Your great emperor Shun, I heard that his majesty has appointed a new empress. Didn't you bring her here?" Ask the queen carefully.

Emperor Shun smiled "At this time my empress is pregnant, so she can't travel too far."

"Truely, I am happy for the Qin state which will soon have a successor."

"Thank you Queen."

"Alright, alright. Emperor Shun must be very tired, we will take Emperor Shun to the western palace to rest." The emperor of Ming.

"Okay, thank you."

The chief eunuch representing the emperor and queen of the Ming state escorted the emperor Shun to the western palace, so that the emperor Shun could rest after a long and tiring journey.

Meanwhile, crown prince Zhang, who had reached the eastern palace, laid Xia Lian An on the bed slowly so that he would not wake up.

After laying down Xia Lian An, crown prince Zhang smiled looking at Xia Lian An's sleep which he thought was adorable.

"You also rest, I've asked some servants to prepare warm water and ginseng soup after Miss Xia wakes up later." Crown Prince Zhang said to Xiao Wei.

"Thank you for the noble kindness of the crown prince." Xiao Wei.

"It's my responsibility, because it's exhausted like that."

Crown Prince Zhang looked at Xia Lian An who was still asleep.

"All right, I gotta go back. Tell him I'll be here again tonight."

"Okay, your honor."

Crown Prince Zhang then left the eastern palace, letting Xia Lian An sleep even longer.

"Your highness the crown prince is very good, ginseng is a fairly valuable item on this land. But for miss, she's willing to give it." Xiao Wei muttered.

Without saying anything more, Xiao Wei walked over and took some of Xia Lian An's clothes and the ones she was carrying, then placed them into the closet in the room.

Xiao Wei also took out a box containing a bag of fragrances that Xia Lian An would give crown prince Zhang later on, she kept the box in the corner of the closet so as not to disappear.

Finished tidying up some items, Xiao Wei laid her body on the long chair in the room, then fell asleep quickly from exhaustion.
