Abandoned Princesses
Second Visit

These few days Emperor Qiao was finally able to eat quietly and sleep soundly. It was all due to Qiao Rong's rejection of the Moon King's proposal. Even inwardly, Head Eunuch Qi was extremely grateful to Qiao Rong.

The emperor was able to sigh with relief lately.

In the absence of an engagement between Qiao Rong and the Moon King, he was able to convince the man that he had not changed sides at all.

Or it should be.

*****

"Ayahanda, today the princess met Father to discuss the princess' engagement to the Moon King." Qiao Rong bowed his body slowly towards Emperor Qiao.

The current Emperor's expression was extremely ugly. It was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. Just yesterday he was able to sleep and eat without any worries, now Qiao Rong said as soon as his face was slapped.

Qiao Rong felt strange seeing the Emperor's shocked and disappointed face. Shouldn't she be happy that her daughter became the wife of one of the Kings of the three great sects?

That made Qiao Rong's suspicions even greater. Something is wrong with the Emperor.

On the contrary, seeing the Emperor's expression, Shen Haofeng instantly gave off an ominous aura that made Emperor Qiao unable to resist.

"Well, okay.." The emperor forced his smile.

"Then her engagement will be held in three weeks." Shen Haofeng said briefly and directly held Qiao Rong's hand out of the palace hall.

The emperor could now only be stunned while being shocked half to death. Now the position is wrong. If he did not approve of the betrothal the Moon King proposed, he would make the most unwanted enemy. Meanwhile, if you agree, maybe his neck could be targeted by the man.

The emperor was confused.

To be sure, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Moon King's treatment today. Isn't a good date and when the engagement will be held the property of the father? He arbitrarily did not look at the Emperor in the slightest as Father-in-law.

The emperor was upset.

"Dam."

Eunuch Qi's head could only look down and show a very worried face.

The emperor eventually withdrew from the palace hall and returned to his bedroom.

*****

Prangggg!

The black-robed man threw the Emperor's beloved ink stone until it broke into pieces.

"Yahoo!" Emperor Qiao could only stand while holding his forehead in frustration on the spot. Although his heart was broken when he saw his favorite ink stone, but he did not dare to dwell.

The black-robed man looked annoyed.

"The emperor should be clear, right? Which side are you on?" The man walked slowly towards the Emperor. While Emperor Qiao could only tremble.

"I'm on your side of course! I swear! I just don't know how Princess Rong can be together with the Moon King!" The emperor was cold. He felt he could die at any moment at the hands of the man.

The current emperor would naturally only be able to curse at Qiao Rong. He had only three sons and two daughters left from his many children.

One son as Crown Prince, one son who became the image of the royal family, and one useless son who was sickly.

One princess is full of ability but spoiled, who is now considered dead by the people. And one more princess was initially blasphemed and humiliated.

Now that his one daughter had already handed over to the black-robed man, his hopes automatically rested on Qiao Rong. Who would have thought that girl would even bring such a disaster on him?

Whereas by handing Qiao Lan over to the man, the Emperor thought that this time Qiao Rong could replace Qiao Lan's role and become a proud princess. With his ability to use a whip, there should be no problem if he could not use a sword or a protective spirit.

Now, the boy had even wreaked disaster on him like this. How could he not be angry? However seeing Qiao Rong receive the protection of the Moon King.. What can the emperor do?

"Oh so?" The man touched the Emperor's fingers and held his little finger.

Kreek!

Tears began to fall on the Emperor's cheeks. The man in front of her just laughed.

The man then turned around, his body emitting black smoke. That black smoke as if fused and enveloped his body, in an instant his body disappeared. Then only black smoke scattered and disappeared.

The man left the Emperor slumped on the floor. Right after the man disappeared, Head Eunuch Qi and a number of palace soldiers entered into the Emperor's room.

"Your Majesty!!!" Head Eunuch Qi directly ran towards Emperor Qiao. Seeing the Emperor holding his little finger firmly, Eunuch Head Qi could only look at that little finger in horror.

"Call the palace healer!!!" Eunuch Head Qi shouted. The Emperor fell unconscious towards Head Eunuch Qi.

One of the soldiers rushed out and broke the news in chains. While the others helped Head Eunuch Qi lay the Emperor's body onto the bed.

Moments after the Emperor was laid on the bed, the palace healer came carrying a box of medicine and acupuncture needles.

The physician examined the Emperor's pulse and also the condition of the little finger that had been broken.

"How's it?" Asked Head Eunuch Qi who was currently standing beside the bed.

The doctor just nodded.

"Emperor fainted from severe shock, also excruciating pain. Somehow, but this method of breaking bones is very brutal, starting from the muscles all the way to the bones. It can't be fixed." Hearing the healer's explanation, Head Eunuch Qi could only massage his forehead.

Of course, this news should not be heard by their guests. Anyone who harmed the Emperor, could be considered a great threat. But seeing the possibility that there is, who else is a powerful person other than the Moon King?

Eunuch Qi's head brushed aside that sight. The Moon King had just come this morning to the Emperor to propose to Qiao Rong. How could he possibly hurt the Emperor now?

Although he did not give any face to the Emperor at all, at least the Moon King had no good reason to do such a cruel thing to the Emperor.

After the palace healer prescribed the medicine and left, all the soldiers present were already told to shut up by Head Eunuch Qi. He was afraid, the one who did such a cruel thing who knew of it was only the Emperor himself.

Meanwhile, he could only wait until the Emperor woke up.

*****

On the other side of the palace, the black-robed man was standing next to a woman.

Who else if not Qiao Lan?

The woman now looks more thin, clad in red clothes that accentuate her adult side more. Her makeup changed completely. The present Qiao Lan was already different from the previous Princess Lan. She is no longer a princess.

"Does His Majesty have to hurt Father so badly?" Qiao Lan felt sorry for her Father who had spoiled her from childhood. Maybe his own mother wasn't that dear to him.

In his mother's eyes, Qiao Lan was just a tool, and he knew it. He also knew that Emperor Qiao had deliberately saved him from the death penalty. Instead, it meant that the Emperor had already sided with the man beside him.

The man looked calm, but his eyes were fiery hearing Qiao Lan's words.

"Concubine Lan, are you questioning my actions?" Instantly black smoke surrounded Qiao Lan's neck.

The woman was seen entangled by the black smoke until she had trouble breathing. Five seconds later, the black smoke disappeared. Replaced by Qiao Lan who fell coughing.

"S-I don't dare Yes-Your Majesty.." Qiao Lan tried to speak while panting.

The man smiled cunningly and mischievously. He walked slowly to the back of Qiao Lan. The two hands of the man hugged Qiao Lan's waist cordially.

"That's my smart and sweet concubine." The man whispered that word for word in Qiao Lan's ear. Qiao Lan's hair stood up to hear him.

He always expects love from others. Praise, adoration, yet he never felt dominated like this. Her husband, or rather called her master right now, the man dominated her body, mentally, her entire being as if it had been controlled by that man.

Qiao Lan was already like an entire puppet, one that could not will itself and was always threatened by death. But the man always whispered soothing words that gave him goosebumps. Romantic words that at once sounded disgusting to Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan could do nothing. At least it was the man who had pulled her out of her despair. He could not die before taking revenge on his cursed brother and sister. Haven't.

Their bodies twirled together, black smoke re-enveloped. And they disappeared too.
