RISE OF THE DRAGON-TANG DYNASTY NOVEL-SHINGS PERPECTIVE

Heading Back To The Palace

Getting in the sedan, it was going to be a long ride so hopefully she will get some sleep. Sitting next to me, she curled herself into me and drifted off to sleep, noticing that she was tossing and turning almost came out of my hold.

She screamed in her sleep. I gently move her so I can try to wake her up. Getting her to wake up finally.

"Are you ok?" Being concerned

"I am simply fine." She said, tired and grumpy.

Reaching the halfway point, we stopped to rest and stretch our legs to get a bite to eat. As we sit here and enjoy our meal together.

"Are you sure you are, ok?" being concerned

"I am fine. It was just a bad dream, that is all." She said, aggravated.

"I think we are better on our way." I said.

We loaded up and started our way back to the capital. It was awkward now, it just seems like the honeymoon didn't exist anymore. It was nothing but small talk.

I can see the gates now to the capital. We are coming up on them, galloping through the town, reaching her palace right in front of her gate. Letting her step out first, seeing her staff excited to see her.

I get out and stand behind her, watching all the commotion of the unloading. Hearing Cao give her orders.

"Crown princes, things go to the palace of eternal springs." Cao ordered.

"Wait, I want my belongings to stay here at Last Love Palace." I ordered.

Giving Na the biggest kiss ever. "I need to head to see the emperor." I said.

"Ok." she said as she sighed

"Shuming, are you ready?" I asked.

"Yes, your highness." He said as he looks at Cao giving out orders.

I reluctantly left the palace knowing she was coming back and alone on her first official day. I hope the Crown princess will stay at her palace.

"Your highness, what are you going to say to the emperor?" he asked

"Well, all we can do is tell him what all we found out." I informed him.

We are walking down the long pathway of walls to my dad's palace. I realized how many times I have made this walk and how scary it is. Me and Shuming just taking in how creepy it is walking in complete silence. Looking around at the dark walls, it really looked like blood, just at a constant flow. No other colors except the grey stone at our feet.

We finally reached my father's palace. Once we got there, we saw one of his concubines storming out.

"I hope my harem doesn't act like this." I looked and Shuming laughing

We just laughed at the door when my dad's eunuch announced us to my dad. Bowing to my dad "your, highness."

"You may rise, report your findings." My dad said.

"your highness, this trip we had only found that there are many people involved in this. We caught the bottom. He's in the prison now waiting for questioning. There is one big thing the people are being told it is you raising the taxes." I informed him.

"really, I am the one who raised taxes?" the emperor stated

"Well, whoever is behind this, they are keeping the difference between the taxes." Informing him.

"I am sure something alert them to your investigation, so lie low for now." Emperor said.

"Ok, I will do that." I said.
