" I have the answer, King." Loudly Xiao Shi said so in front of everyone present.
" What does the empress mean, the emperor?"
Zhao had no intention of answering the question from the king, but he immediately looked towards Xiao Shi and nodded his head.
" Come here" he said.
Xiao Shi walked out of his room, accompanied by his personal servant as well as physician Long.
" What answer do you have, empress?" asked one of the Kings as soon as Xiao Shi was already beside Zhao.
" Previously in the invitation letter given, each kingdom is required to bring 5-10 people from your respective kingdom. The provisions of the people brought must also exist from all walks of life, ranging from nobles to the people with the lowest position. Did you guys bring them?" Xiao Shi.
The kings nodded, although at first they felt strange but they still brought 10 people according to the provisions.
Xiao Shi smiled, "If so, then I will allow the people who have been brought, as well as the people from the empire to enter here"
The door opened wide and showed the people standing at the door. As per the direction finally they were allowed to enter and sit according to the place already provided.
To be honest, Zhao still did not know what his Empress would do. But Zhao still allowed his wife to do anything, because of her belief in Xiao Shi that there was no way the Princess of Wang would do something that would bring down the pride and honor of the empire.
After everything is in their place. Long ordered some servants to bring along the ingredients they had already concocted.
However, the thing that makes long strange is. Why were the servants carrying only a few small gourds, shouldn't they be carrying a large frying pan? His inner.
" This pumpkin, contains a pill that can answer your questions" Xiao Shi said.
Long who heard very surprised, the reason, the last they tested it was in the form of powder that must be dissolved with water, as well as proving blood ties at that time. But suddenly it's a pill now?
" When did you change it?" Long Whispered to Xiao Shi.
" So morning" Xiao Shi replied.
" Have you done a trial in pill form?"
" Not yet"
What is?! This woman is crazy, Long thought. " What if it doesn't work?"
" I'm sure it'll work, you take it easy"
The whispers between the two men also did not escape Zhao's sight. It felt like Zhao was eager to get rid of the huge pest from his wife, but it was impossible in this kind of situation.
" What do you mean, Empress? Our only concern is what if our son cannot remarry and be alone for the rest of his life. No king, prince, or nobleman will accept a woman who has been married. They could only marry soldiers and commoners. It was our unrest, then how could a pill answer that?" Ask one of the kings.
" May I ask two women, one married, and one unmarried. If anything, please come forward" instead of answering, Xiao Shi instead made his announcement.
It didn't take long, the 3 women volunteered and directly directed them to stand before everyone. Although he only asked for two people, but no one forbade the third woman to come forward. Because basically, no one knows which woman is married and yet because that right cannot be seen through age.
" Sign your hands "please Xiao Shi on the three women in front of him.
The women did as Xiao Shi had instructed. As they waved their hands, their clothing sleeves descended toward the elbows.
" Put your hands down..... It could be seen, on the part of their arms near the pulse line there was no sign of anything there. Right?" Xiao shi tried to show it to everyone. The women's hands were clean and there was no sign of anything.
After his Xiao Shi gave direction to his servants, and had them give the three women each one of the pills he had made and also water to help swallow the pills.
" You even changed his position as well?" Whisper Long, and Xiao Shi simply replied with a nod.
Damn, he really didn't discuss it with me. Grunt Long.
After a while, Xiao shi had the three women wave their hands back. Xiao Shi's smile flashed behind his veil, red speck marks appearing on the two women's arms before him.
" Now, please take a good look. Aren't there red spots on the veins of these two women?" Appoint Xiao Shi.
Everyone nodded. " That means that the two women who have this spot have not been married and have never had intercourse with any man. And this one woman has no spots on her arms, which means that this woman next to me is married" she explained.
" How, am I wrong, miss?" Xiao Shi asked the three women. And they all shook their heads.
" That's right, my sisters are not married. I am married and have a child" he replied.
Xiao Shi nodded and thanked the three women who voluntarily came forward. The three women were also welcome to return to their original place, not forgetting the applause on this amazing result Xiao Shi also obtained from everyone who was in the room.
" Is this also what will be done to the concubines?"
" right. Therefore, each kingdom is asked to bring 10 people from each circle to bear witness to the sanctity possessed by the princess of their respective kingdoms." Xiao Shi. Finally the kings understood the reason for this commandment.
" What about the sign? Will there be forever?
" No, the sign will disappear once they have intercourse." This time Long answered.
" Is that forbidden magic?"
Everyone nodded, indeed this princess of money could not be doubted in terms of potion making.
" You are indeed a genius, empress" Zhao said in his heart.
Until finally, all the concubines who would be returned were summoned one by one and took her pills. All of them were shown to have red spots on their arms, and the emperor never touched his concubines at all.
Even the concubines who were not on the home list, also volunteered. Xiao shi asked the reason why they changed their minds, it turned out that the answer was in doubt and fear that they would be aloof or even married off to a man from among the common people. After this proof, they were no longer worried. In the end inevitably, zhao and Xiao Shi allowed her.
" I will put a statement that your witness is a person who was present from here, including the kings" Xiao Shi said.
In the end, the remaining concubines were very few. Only the grand concubine, concubine Yun, and the other 3 concubines survived. It was beyond their original plan. Even now the concubine who was not sent home also took her pills, just in case they change their mind.
Until in the afternoon, the evidence of these concubines was just finished. Even some kingdoms already exist who want to marry their crown prince to a princess from a neighboring kingdom, because at first the princess is the target of a couple from his kingdom. It's a relief, isn't it? Looks like everything went well.
" I'm sorry I cut the show, can I ask you a question?" Said one of the nobles, judging from his clothes it seemed like he was from the east.
Xiao shi nodded as a sign of his approval.
" If the healer said the pill was safe, why don't you try it empress? I'm sorry for the sassness of the servant, but wouldn't the best proof be if you tried it yourself?"
Zhao was furious to hear her, how dare that person ask such a thing to his wife.
Just as Zhao was about to speak, Xiao Shi had already given his decision. " all right. To convince all of you, me and my two servants will drink it too"
Xiao shi brought 3 pills, and gave the other two pills to Yuan as well as Yanran. " Drink too"
They drank it in unison, then after his yuan also yanran showed his arm to everyone. The two of them gained red spots on their arms, but when Xiao Shi showed his arms as well, there were no spots whatsoever. Of course it was obvious, since Xiao Shi had already had an intimate relationship with Zhao.
This made the sad kings agree with their daughter's decision. Of the many concubines, all proved to have never established any relationship with the emperor. Only the empress got her, it definitely made the hearts of the concubines hurt. But on the other hand, Zhao looks very proud. To him it was his way of showing that Xiao Shi was his.
" How, do you still have doubts?" Xiao Shi asked the noble man earlier.
" Not at all. Thank you empress, but will you sell the pills ?"
" Why?" Xiao Shi frowned.
" My sister is very happy to hunt, sometimes she will arrive home at night or the next morning because she always hunts in different forests. This made some nobles and the people talk bad about it, in order to maintain the dignity and dignity of the family we finally decided to never allow it again to hunt, and it keeps my sister locked up in her room. I was planning to buy her pills for my sister so she could still do her favorite thing, but our family also no longer get scorn from others. Because I'm sure, my sister will always maintain her pride and our family" explained the noble man.
" I will discuss it with my healer first because he is the one who worked the most in making this pill, so I have to discuss it with him. Moreover, the remaining pills are only a few more" Xiao Shi said as he glanced at Long.
" Good Empress, we will pay whatever price is given"
" No need, because of your courage to ask and explain why. I'll give this one pill to your sister without any payment "
The noble man immediately kowtowed and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Shi.
After that the meeting was closed and everyone was disbanded. The king and his retinue decided to return to his kingdom at sunrise tomorrow morning.
Xiao Shi and Zhao were already in their room, precisely at the empress' residence. Zhao helped Xiao Shi remove the crown, as well as his other hair accessories. After everything was done Zhao immediately embraced Xiao shi's slender body from behind and placed his chin on the niche of the wife's neck.
" Why didn't you tell me the plan in the first place?" He said as he gave a small kiss on the neck of Xiao shi's level, not forgetting that his hand also gently stroked Xiao Shi's still flat stomach.
" I don't know, I'm just not sure the plan is going to work"
" Don't do it again, from now on you have to tell me whatever it is"
" Alright, alright. Now can we sleep? I'm so tired" Xiao Shi lamented, blushing his lips.
Anxious looking at Xiao shi's tiny lips like that, as fast as lightning Zhao instantly grabbed onto xiao shi's lips to kiss him.
" Alright, let's go to sleep" Zhao carried Xiao Shi ala bridal style and lowered him on their bed, then slept together.
Heavy days have passed, the drama with the concubines will be greatly reduced starting in the future, and Zhao can begin to focus on his relationship with Xiao Shi.
Zhao hopes there will be no more disruptions that damage their relationship and disrupt her life. Really he craved a quiet life with Xiao Shi now.
On the other hand, a man in his robe only smiled at the Xiao Shi residence from a considerable distance away. " Let's wait, I haven't even started yet. You, are mine Princess Wang"
