Empress
Episode 107's
The night that Zhao asked Xiao Shi last week, it was their last day together. Because in recent days his wife was always spending her time with Long. Not just from morning until night, but from morning until morning again they are not ceaselessly making this and that, combining this and that. I don't know, Zhao didn't know what they were doing because they didn't tell him anything.
" Are they still doing it?" Zhao asked Eunuch Han.
" Yes, Your Majesty" he replied.
Zhao sighed, he felt jealous and also missed his wife.
" Be patient, Your Majesty, I am sure the Empress is doing her best. Moreover, just wait for the time for your separation with the concubines" said Huang Li.
" Yes you're right, what about the kings and queens who have arrived?" Since yesterday many kings have arrived, only a few more kingdoms remain and according to information even some of the kingdoms have entered the border of the kingdom. Just waiting for time for them to arrive at the kingdom.
" I've arranged for their residence Your Majesty, and there are several kings who ask to meet with you to give gifts" Huang Li gave a list of names of the king who asked to meet.
" Let's just say we'll meet together tomorrow morning, and tell me there's something I still have to deal with"
" Good Your Majesty"
...🧊 🧊 🧊 ...
Sweat was already pouring out around Xiao shi's face, as well as Long's. Some days they don't sleep, and eat very little.
This was because of Xiao Shi's crazy idea of asking to concoct potions in order to prove something, just like he used to.
" Is there such a thing?" Yanran asked who was watching the two people in front of him who were constantly stirring and concocting some ingredients.
" Nothing is impossible for him, I'm sure" Yuan was very confident that Xiao Shi would manage to do it as he did when at Wang.
Until finally, the last concoction they made was ready. It's already night and means this is their only last chance to concoct the potion. It takes 12-18 hours just for one potion, while tomorrow morning is the day the concubines will go home.
" This is our last chance Shi'er" said Long staring doubtfully at Xiao Shi.
" I know, but I have complete confidence this time" instead from Long, Xiao Shi actually felt very confident.
Fu Tong and Yanran brought the concoction that had been concocted for hours on someone who had already been chosen and was willing to become a trial ingredient.
Xiao Shi and Long waited anxiously, they decided not to attend the potion since the second day. Although Xiao Shi said that he believed the experiment was successful but still the possibility of failure existed.
Xiao Shi bit his short nails, while Long kept pacing back and forth. To the worry of the two of them making Yuan and Feng Yue also become worried, they became anxious because of the anxious atmosphere transmitted by the two people in front of him.
Even someone far away felt this high anxiety. Zhao who was discussing with Eunuch Han and Huang Li suddenly stopped his words.
" What's up, Your Majesty?" Huang Li asked as he saw his emperor silent all of a sudden.
" You guys get out, we stop until here, I feel something from the empress" he replied.
" Both Your Majesty" Huang Li and Eunuch Han resigned.
After the departure of his two men, Zhao began to focus himself and try to find out what was happening. " What exactly are you doing, Empress?" Zhao said before he entered the wife's subconscious.
Yanran and Fu Tong had already returned with faces like the previous experiment. A smile that means not giving up, and an eye that also implies pity.
" Failed again?" Xiao Shi asked, he was really so resigned this time.
But instead of replying, Yanran and Fu Tong gave both thumbs to Xiao Shi and Long. " Happy Empress, you've made it"
Crickets.krik...
Instead of being happy, everyone just now looked at Yanran and Fu Tong with strange looks and faces. " Ke—why do you guys see us like that?"
" Are you sure?" Long asked with a very strange face than the others. Blackened eyes, his tired face, messy clothes and hair made his gaze extremely horrifying.
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa finallyaaaa" Yuan immediately shouted and ran to hug Yanran. Unlike usual, if normally everyone scolded as he shouted, this time not. Because everyone feels the same way.
Feng yue also smiled and patted Fu Tong on the shoulder, eventually their efforts all paid off as well. The extremely happy Long instantly laid himself on the floor, his tiredness completely paid off this time, there was a sense of pride in him as well as Xiao Shi. They can always create things that are impossible for others.
Long looked towards Xiao Shi who was leaning his body on the chair with a smiling face. The two of them nodded at each other as a sign that they had finally succeeded. Really, they're very tired this week.
Long looked at the sky sky that was starting to look blurry, he exhaled his breath in relief.
" Eventually, it's done"
Yuan and Yanran are still engrossed in hugging and jumping each other. They were too happy to know what happened to the person who concocted them.
Feng Yue held onto Yuan's arm, as well as Fu Tong who was holding Yanran's arm to separate their embrace and stop the commotion.
" Ish, what's wrong?! Don't pull—"
" Be quiet, look over there" Yuan who was about to protest stopped as Feng Yue pointed towards Xiao Shi and Long. Yuan was silent at once.
Be it Xiao Shi or Long both closed their eyes, they fell asleep. Long fell asleep on the floor on his back, and Xiao Shi fell asleep on the chair with his head resting on the seat support behind his body.
" They are very exhausted" Fu Tong said. Of course this is not a strange thing, for 6 days they do not sleep, even eat only a little, for a long time, be it Xiao Shi or Long both only relied on magic tiers to channel their magic into energy, until they still felt full. Sometimes they eat little, like fruits.
" All right, let's move them both. There is no way we can't let them fall asleep here" Yanran suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement.
At the moment when Yanran and Yuan wanted to approach Xiao Shi to move him, Zhao suddenly appeared right beside Xiao Shi. " Let me take care of her"
" His Majesty "respect the two of them in unison. Feng Yue and Fu Tong immediately turned their eyes to see whose great energy had suddenly appeared, when they found out that it was Zhao's presence they immediately saluted him.
Zhao immediately pulled out his chair and carried Xiao Shi ala bridal style.
" I'm sorry Your Majesty, but the Empress is in a dirty state and —"
" I'll bathe her and change her clothes, Yuan. Don't worry, you don't have to bring her clothes either, I keep some of her clothes in my place."
" Okay, Your Majesty "
Zhao immediately went to use his magic to bring Xiao Shi into his room and rest.
Arriving at the room, Zhao put Xiao Shi to sleep in his contest. Then he went to fetch a bucket of water and also a rag that Huang Li had prepared. Zhao chose to clean his wife's body with the rag, he really cleaned his wife like he was bathing the baby with a rag. He did not want to disturb his wife's sleep, zhao knew that Xiao Shi had not slept for a few days, although forbidding but Xiao Shi really did not listen to him.
Zhao took care of it very painstakingly, even though it had not been rationed for a long time but while cleaning Xiao Shi himself did not even desire to say the least. He only misses his wife so much, so evil not if he desires to see the body of his wife who is already very tired?.
Zhao eventually replaced his clothes with new ones, he also replaced his bed linen with his magic to keep his bed clean and comfortable. After that, he put Xiao Shi back to sleep, including himself also sleeping next to his wife.
" What exactly did you do like this? Rest, you've tried so hard" Zhao said as he kissed his wife's forehead, then fell asleep hugging Xiao Shi.
Zhao also felt that he had to rest and prepare for tomorrow which must have a lot of energy because he would argue a lot with the kings because of the return of their children and younger brothers as proof that they were no longer concubines of Emperor Zhao.
