Empress
Episode 115's

The confidants Xiao Shi had previously withdrawn from, now they were again given the same task as before. That is to follow and observe people who are suspicious, especially Minister Yun and his son.

Back then Zhao planned to come secretly to surprise her empress, but once she reached the Xiao Shi residence she was the one who got the shock.

Xiao Shi was being together with someone, judging from his posture like a man. The man knelt down to face Xiao Shi and just waited for a word from him.

Zhao also looked at the other side of Xiao Shi, before this man his aura was very piercing. Her empress was even more dignified than when she was in the royal hall.

"who are you, xiao'er?" inner zhao.

"Are you sure the report is correct?" xiao Shi asked the man before him.

" Of course Your Majesty, I even confirmed it directly "the man replied.

" i don't want any mistakes, you guys have to be really thorough and don't let your guard down. If you need extra personnel, just take how much you need"

" Of course, thank You Your Majesty "

"hmm, go now "

the man disappeared just like that, but after that there were his personal servants.

" it's really outrageous, they're even targeting innocent people" Yuan said.

actually they had all been there since then, just like Zhao.they used magic to disguise their existence so that it could not be detected.

" You want us to act now?" asked Feng Yue

Xiao Shi sat in his chair, "No need, they haven't acted and this is still a plan. Wait for the moment they start doing so and we surround him. back then the gathered evidence must have been strong, he said, and they won't be able to argue with it" he explained.

" what really happened? who was in the plan?" inner Zhao.

" Don't lie to us Xiao Shi, you really don't look good right now" Fu Tong said.

" How can I be good, if their next plan is to gather an army to attack my kingdom? they want to bully me by attacking Wang. You think I'll be okay?"

what Xiao Shi said shocked Zhao, it turned out that his next plan was to attack the money kingdom. It seemed like he had to investigate this personally, judging from his xiao'er nature it wouldn't tell him so easily.

Zhao eventually left and chose to return to his study and called Eunuch Han and Huang Li to discuss about Minister Yun's plans from what he had heard. Zhao also ordered to find out about the empress, who were the people outside the kingdom who worked for her and what their status was.

" This task must be done carefully, lest the empress find out. And let no one suspect you"

" well, Your Majesty" the two nodded in understanding. Then they went to carry out their respective duties.

While Zhao continued to ponder in his room, he thought what he knew all along was that it was everything. It turned out that the empress still held a lot of mysteries.

" you make me feel challenged by the Empress, who are you? what else are you hiding from me?"

On the other hand, Zi Hu and Teng She were chatting behind the Zhao residence. This was because Zi Hu was the one who brought her there.

" Look, didn't I tell you he'd sacrifice for you"

Teng She was silent. He actually still could not believe what happened a few days ago.

" He doesn't even care about himself, he cares about you, and then you're this loud" Zi Hu continued.

" you just don't want to admit that you do. You don't want to lower your self-esteem, do you? you're too haughty" he sneered.

" really?"

" uh?"

there was something different from the current teng she. earlier, if Zi Hu sneered at her like that she would argue with her and continue to argue. but now Teng She did not do so.

" as if you're right, I'm too proud and won't admit to myself."

" ....." Zi hu really could not say what.he felt that this time he did not see the Teng She he knew.

" you're right Zi Hu, I'm too haughty. To be honest I've admitted it a long time ago, I even wanted to be close to her, really wanting to be noticed by her as her contract animal. He did it all with his version of himself, only I was embarrassed to admit it. A dragon like me should look gallant, strong, and able to stand alone, but I'm instead under contract.that's what makes me haughty."

" Teng She, you..."

" You're right Zi Hu, when you used to ask her if she would give her life to me even though my lips said no, but in my heart I really hope she does. I also want to know if I'm in her eyes? is it really considered his friend or just a contract animal. Even when I was bound by the demon whip back then, I wished my master was with me and we would definitely defeat them together. But, by the time he was really trying to save me. I don't feel like, I refuse that"

" why? isn't that what you wanted before her?"

Teng She shook her head, "I don't know, but it hurts my heart to see him hurt for protecting me. The pain was felt many times more than the wound from the demon whip. I felt useless as a contract animal.I should have saved him, but instead he saved me."

Zi Hu was quite confused as to what to answer, he did not expect it to turn out that Teng She had this kind of nature. " Well, are you still gonna fight with him next?"

" No, this time I will follow my heart, be it in his attitude, or whatever" said Teng She.

'Based on a stupid dragon, you're still like a child. I like that you've started to open up, thank you for coming back like my little dragon used to be'

Teng She stiffened, that voice.The voice she had in her mind was Xiao shi's voice. Shit, he forgot to disconnect his mind that had connected with Xiao Shi before coming to meet Zi Hu.

Oh god, where should he put his face when he meets Xiao Shi later.

Zi Hu who saw Teng She was silent and dumbstruck tried to call out to her and patted her on the shoulder. " Is something wrong?"

" Eh, there's no. ah Zi Hu, I want to go around here, can you accompany me?"

" Okay, I'll be your guide"

Someone from a distance also saw the interaction of the two.

"It turns out you still have that dragon in your life Xiao Shi? He is truly faithful to serve you, you were inseparable from the beginning. But, I wonder if the dragon will now end like before? that's dead in my hand"
