Empress
Episode 20 - Decision

All the members of the kingdom are now gathering, except for the Consort family. No matter where the mother and child are, they always do not attend events like this.

The King and Queen Wang were just silently thinking about how to avoid this. If they choose to fight then there is a possibility that their people will also experience suffering. But if he chooses to give up his daughter, he will suffer. Knowing the number of concubines in the palace of the Zhao Empire made the King and Queen shudder, what would happen to her daughter later. The royal intrigue was cruel and cunning.

" Dad, we can't let this go. We have to make a decision! " yan said in anger and excitement.

" That's right Dad. The whole country is ready and ready for war. " Said Xun equally stirred her

" Publish your decision Father" Prince Cheng tried as calmly as possible, so that his father would not feel cornered either.

The Queen looked at her King with a pleading gaze. He really couldn't bear to give up his daughter. Finally King Wang sighed and gave his decision.

" Okay, we're going to war. I'll talk it over with the ministers later" his remark sounded absolutely.Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

" You can't do it Daddy" Xiao Shi came and stopped his father's step away.

" What do you mean?" Ask King Wang.

" I will marry her" Xiao Shi had already decided, and this was his decision.

Hearing that Cheng approached his sister and shook both of his shoulders.

" Have you lost your mind Xiao Shi?! What are you talking about?!" He could no longer hold back his emotions this time. This sister has completely lost her mind.

" What will we get from the war? Answer me!" Xiao Shi clasped Cheng's hand which was on his shoulder and let go. Cheng remained silent and did not answer.

Then Xiao Shi walked over to his father.

" What are we going to get out of Daddy's war? Yeah, maybe we can beat them. But is there any guarantee I won't lose you? Is there any guarantee you'll come back intact? Is there any guarantee that none of our people will be victims? A mother loses her child, a wife loses her husband, and a child loses her father. Is that what you mean, Dad?" xiao said.

The King, the Queen, and the Princes were unmoved.

" Our kingdom has been fine all this time, don't make it messy just because I'm Dad" he continued.

" But son, how can you make that decision. You might regret and suffer there" the look of worry could not be hidden from the eyes of the King.

" It's my job, Dad. My duty as Princess of the Kingdom. It's my job to keep the kingdom safe, and I'm ready to accept any risk that's going to happen there"

" Shi'er, I'm sorry"

King Wang hugged Xiao Shi tightly, venting his helplessness against this all. What his daughter said was indeed true, if he chose to fight then it meant that he was a selfish King, only concerned with his family compared to his people. Though his subjects were also his children, he could not sacrifice his children for the sake of his biological children. But the sacrifice her daughter gave her worried her so much, she just wished everything was okay.

Crown Prince Cheng, Prince Yan and Prince Xun could only resign and accept Xiao Shi's decision. Everything he said was true, but there was still a sense of unwillingness within them to hand Xiao Shi over as a form of alliance.

Inevitably this was what Xiao Shi had to live as a Princess of a Kingdom. Sacrificing himself for the welfare of his people.

*°*

On the other hand, Minister Yun and his Princess and granddaughter met Emperor Zhao secretly, unbeknownst to King Wang.

They still offered Princess Sun Yi as a form of alliance. Not to forget they also vilified Xiao Shi in front of the Emperor.

" Really?" Zhao Said.

" That's right, Your Majesty. Princess Xiao Shi had such a poor face that it required her to cover her face. That's also the reason why the King and Queen are afraid you'll vote for him. Because it is likely that it will harm you" this sentence has been repeatedly uttered by the Minister. As indeed his goal was to disfigure Xiao Shi.

" Hmm well, I'll consider it. Huang Li, take them out"

" Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you"

Then the non-Femara family left to resign.

" Dad, we did it" Consort Chun said with excitement. He hugged his daughter.

" You're right, my grandson will be the wife of an Emperor. How lucky you are"

While Sun Yi only smiled shyly, his cheeks were as red as tomatoes. Still with the same shadow, what if he would sleep with the Emperor, hugging his burly and gallant body. You perverted brat.

After delivering the family, Huang Li went back in and asked the Emperor.

" Your Majesty, will you really consider it? "

" What do you think?"

" If it's true what they say about Princess Xiao Shi, then it's good that you don't choose her Your Majesty. But choosing Princess Sun Yi was also a mistake"

" Why is that?"

" Seeing from his behavior and behavior, he does not deserve to be with you, Your Majesty. Even if it's just a concubine."

Zhao sighed and patted Huang Li on the shoulder.

" You know Huang Li? When Princess Xiao Shi came with her sisters there was something different about me. My heart was beating so hard, and my eyes seemed to be staring in no other direction than at him"

Huang Li was surprised to hear what his Emperor said. This was the first time he had heard his Emperor speak like that about a woman.

" Are you in love with Your Majesty?" Huang Li asked carefully.

" You are right, Your Majesty. Judging from the way he talks and confronts you, he doesn't look like a woman in general"

Emperor Zhao smiled, then looked outside. He's thinking of something.

" I'll go, if anyone's looking for me just tell me I'm on some personal business. And if it's urgent, you can call me"

" Good Your Majesty"

Then Emperor Zhao left and disappeared using his magic.

*°*

Tonight the Moon looks so beautiful, the light is also very bright. Xiao Shi, Yuan, Feng Yue and Long laid themselves on the ground and looked at the moon together.

" The moon tonight is beautiful" Long said.

" You're right" Yuan said.

" Long. I want to thank you for treating my mother" Feng Yue had not been grateful since the last time they met in the forest.

" Look down, your mother will be well soon. There is no incurable disease, especially if the healer is me" Long boasted.

Yuan elbowed Long hearing what he said "Your arrogance is nothing compared to our Shi'er"

Long just smiled showing his teeth after what Yuan said was also true. Sometimes indeed Long would ask about some medicine towards Xiao Shi.

Without them knowing, their activities were seen by someone since. He was Emperor Zhao.

He sat on a large tree branch not far from Xiao Shi and disguised his body. If seen at a glance it will look like nothing, but if viewed carefully and detail it will also look like nothing. (hehe..).

Emperor Zhao used body disguising magic that made his body invisible to others, nor was it detectable by anyone.

She's a princess, but lying on the ground even barefoot? Attractively.

" I guess this will be the last thing I do with you guys" the tone Xiao Shi gave was extremely piercing in their chests.

So, you've decided to be with me? I've guessed.

" What do you mean? Me and Feng Yue will be with you Shi'er" Yuan rose from his slumber, as well as Feng Yue, feeling displeased with what Xiao Shi had said.

" That's right, Princess. I will still follow you" added Feng Yue.

" I'm not talking about you guys, I mean this is the last time we'll be gathering like this with Long" Xiao Shi explained.

" Are you right"

" So, I'm guessing you're gonna miss me right?" Said Long confidently.

" Of course not" Yuan argued.

" Yep. What Yuan said is true, we will not miss you because you are the laziest Physician I know" Xiao Shi sneered.

" What? You people! You really underestimate me here. Feng Yue, you're on my side aren't you?"

" No Long, I'm sorry. This time I agree with the Princess"

" You guys really let me down" Long turned his back on everyone. It makes everything laugh.

" Hahahahaha you look like a kid who sulks Long"

" Hahaa should I give you sweets?"

" Or do you want some candy?"

They all ridiculed him, it also did not escape Emperor Zhao's sight. Xiao Shi who only wore a veil without his hat managed to attract his attention.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she laughed, her laughter also sounding extremely crisp in her ears. Seeing their interactions he can make sure like his they are close friends behind their status and degrees in public.

It was also a unique thing that he saw.

There is so much uniqueness in you. Your eyes, your laughter, your personality. How could it all interest me, you're like a Xiao shi magnet. I can't avoid the pull. Whatever others say about you, I don't care. All I want is you, only you. You will be mine, no matter what happens, inner Zhao.
