Chapter 1874 Reactions from Several Parties
Prime Minister Zhi watched Prime Minister Dou's back and then looked into the distance, feeling that their ancestors were leaving them with such an irreplaceable situation. It made things very difficult for him to proceed. But what could he do?
He's also desperate.
All he could do right now was to pray that Shi Long Kingdom would not be drunk in this temporary victory. For them to completely defeat Fei Yang Kingdom, an arduous journey ahead would await them. 'Will Shi Long Kingdom be able to survive in the end?'
Amidst Prime Minister Zhi's worry, the other ministers all busy preparing themselves for the banquet. Only a select few were also a bit worried in their heart but couldn't say anything on the surface.
…
<Shi Long Kingdom, Imperial Palace>
The matter of their victory naturally spread to the prince and princess in the Imperial Palace. The servants were busy here and there, preparing for their celebration for victory. Among them, Crown Princess Zhu was also present. She had just put her son to sleep and now heard the servants told her that there would be a celebration banquet hosted by the Emperor to celebrate their victory.
"A victory?" Crown Princess Zhu asked and then sighed.
She was not very clear about the situation on the frontline. As the crown princess and someone who was confined in the harem, she was not very familiar with the current situation of the war.
After all, no one would purposely told her these things when there was no need for them to do so. She could only live without knowing what the outside world experienced. But this kind of life was also very good because at the very least, she didn't have to worry about anything and only needed to stay at home most of the time. All she had to care was her son.
And that annoying husband.
But considering that this husband of hers had already departed along with Luo Qing Wei and the others, then she didn't have to care about him anymore. The women in the harem could also calm down since their object of flattering and worship was no longer within them. "But if the Emperor knew about his departure from the Capital City, would he be angry?" Crown Princess Zhu felt a headache and then sighed.
No matter what, she could only accept whatever punishment that the Emperor wanted to impose on her. That b*stard was still having fun out there and the people he left behind had to clean up the mess he created. How easy going it is for him. He never cared for the people who worked hard for him and had to suffer because of his words and deeds all these years. If not because of his position, no one would ever want to flatter a person like that. "Your Highness…"
"Prepare my dress and all. I'll attend on my own." Crown Princess Zhu stood up and walked to the distance. "There's no need to inform my son about this kind of thing. Let him rest."
The servants bowed down. "Yes, Your Highness."

<Shi Long Kingdom, Imperial Palace, another location>
"It seems that Heavenly General Sang truly lived up to his proud name." Shi Long Kingdom's Emperor has several children through several women. Many of them have relatively high position in the palace, but it was mostly because of their mother's background.
After all, in order to make sure that the current situation in the court was relatively stable and these people could have high position, they handed their daughter to the Emperor. Thus, there were many women from various nobility families fighting on the backyard of the Emperor's harem. They used various means to make sure the Emperor's attention was on them.
But naturally, not all of these women who had powerful background had descendants. Coupled with countless conflicts, there were already many children who died before they could even grow up. Among those who didn't have much power, the fifth prince, Prince Wu, looked relatively inconspicuous. He would play with the other young masters and didn't have high power in the court. In the eyes of others, he was just a waste prince who only knew how to play around and didn't care about the court in the slightest bit. But if he did care, with his background, there would be countless assassinations.
Rather than living that kind of life where he had to run away almost all the time, it would be better for him to stay far away from the conflicts and slowly build his own power.
"Imperial Father wants a banquet at this time?" Prince Wu looked at the invitation and shook his head slightly. "He's really old and muddle headed. The time he spent with all of those women is starting to eat up to him."
There was only one servant not far from Prince Wu, standing guard to protect the prince. "Your Highness, you need to prepare for the banquet."
"Just pick the usual clothes." Prince Wu stood up and then smiled lightly. "I'm only there as the spectator anyway. There's no need for me to dress so glamorously and attract too much attention."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Prince Wu looked at the direction of the main hall as his eyes glinted slightly. In this situation, the overall situation of Shi Long Kingdom was not very good at all and as the unremarkable prince, he should also stay low.
Attracting attention at this time would only make things worse for him.

<Long distance away, Border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, the north border of Shi Long Kingdom>
General Feng frowned when he looked at the ominous signal in the distance. This signal meant defeat, but he knew very well that it was not his frontline.
At this time, he was still able to hold on the line well. General Wu might be strong, but he was nothing compared to Heavenly General Bao and General Feng could deal with him. "Is it the main battlefield…. Damn it!"
