Empress
Episode 25 - Rumors

After a long wait for the process, finally the wedding day was determined the day after tomorrow. It was a good time set by the elders and pastors, and they agreed to follow the predetermined time.

The Wang Kingdom and the Zhao Empire were already busy at the moment, preparing the necessary things for the wedding. The news of this marriage also spread rapidly throughout the Qun Ji Mainland, the news of their Consort Candidate always covering her face spread just as quickly, making everyone think this Princess Wang is indeed ugly.

" Why do they all know the bad news? Don't they know our daughter is so great!!" Yuan grumbled in annoyance while tidying up the items that Xiao Shi would bring along later.

Xiao Shi only smiled and shook his head, Yuan had already grumbled a lot about the rumors that were spreading about him.

" Dar!!! Why are you just keeping quiet? You should be infuriated as well as I am" Yuan protested.

" really? Is that what I should do?" ask Xiao Shi

" Of course, you have to bully them and tell them that you are not what they are rumored to be. You are also smart, the proof that the Wang Kingdom is advancing is your cause. Why was the news not spread at all" he lamented.

" It's Yuan, let it go. Explaining something good to someone who doesn't like us is pointless, let them do whatever they want"

" What Shi'er said was true Yuan" Feng Yue and Teng She came together. Now Feng Yue had already dared to call Xiao Shi her name if there were only them.

" You guys have already come" Xiao Shi turned his head towards them.

" What about my request?" tanyakanya.

" All is to your liking, me and Teng She have gathered everyone with the qualifications you mentioned. They are willing to work under you" Feng Yue explained.

" Even if it's the same as giving up their lives?" xiao Shi asked convincingly.

" Yes, they agree"

" good. Have you spread it all?"

" Already, they've been placed according to their duties"

" Are you sure no one has missed even one person?"

" Of course, I'll make sure everything's under your control right now"

" It's good that it's like that."

Yuan only looked at Xiao Shi and Feng Yue in turns, he did not understand what was being talked about.

" What exactly are you saying? Why I don't understand anything. Shi'er when did you order them? Why don't I?! Am I useless so I don't get any assignments?" Yuan scratched his unscratchy head.

" Stupid girl" Feng Yue flicked at Yuan's forehead.

Xiao Shi chuckled, "Unlike that, you are very useful but in that case I need both of them. I asked Feng Yue and Teng She to look for as many people as possible so that I could keep an eye on every single thing that happened"

" I don't understand"

" Yuan, you know that the life of this kingdom is hard, especially if a King has a concubine. You can see how the concubine father and daughter look at me with a stifling look. Even though this concubine of Father did not have the complete evil intentions, they were just envious. Father was fair enough to treat his mother and concubines, so they weren't that bad to me. But can you imagine what life was like there? The Zhao Empire"

" Ah, you mean there are many concubines, so there's a chance they'll do something bad to you?"

" It's quite true, but not only that, with the rumors I'm sure they'll try to bring me down at all costs"

" I heard there was a Grand Concubine, she was predicted to become Empress. But the Emperor's decision was very surprising, many people regretted it" said Feng Yue.

" That means she'll be my biggest enemy there, because she's definitely desperate for the Empress' position"

" You're right" FengYue nodded her head.

***FLASHBACK ON***

*It was already night but Xiao Shi had not been able to close his eyes, the news he received this afternoon of his wedding day was shocking*.

*Xiao Shi got up and came out of her room, all the servants and soldiers saluted and asked why she had not slept*.

" *I want to find the wind the night before bed*"

" *Hope the princess is not too long outside, the night breeze is very bad for your daughter's body" said a waiter. No Yuan, nor Feng Yue, they were already in his room, went to rest*.

" *OK, I won't be long" Xiao Shi stepped his foot toward the garden, he sat in the gazebo while staring at the moon at night*.

" *What are you thinking?" suddenly Teng She appeared beside him*.

" *You!! Can't you tell me first? just popped up like a ghost*"

" *ghost? is that a ghost?" ask Teng She confusion*.

" *tc. Forgetit. Why are you here*?"

" *You are here*"

*Teng She's answer made Xiao Shi even more annoyed. Finally he stood up from his seat and faced toward Teng She*.

" *A-what what are you gonna do?" the Teng She question was not answered by Xiao Shi. But Xiao Shi instead moved his hand towards Teng She, and a rope appeared that tied his body*.

" *What is this?! Hey, let me go, why can't I move my body*?!!"

" *I will punish you, you must be taught a lesson!" then Xiao Shi moved his hand up and pointed the body of Teng She who had been wrapped around the rope towards the gazebo and put it there. Then he recited a spell and appeared a feather in his hand, directed his feather towards Teng She's feet so that the feather rubbed his feet gently*.

" *HAHAHAHAHA,, nooo! stop HAHAHAHA,, please stop HAHAHA" Teng She's laughing voice boomed, her shout was also very loud, making Xiao Shi use a spell to eliminate her voice while*.

" *What are you doing Shi'er" Feng Yue came up to him*.

" *You! I thought I was sleeping*"

" *This dragon voice bothers me*"

" *Yes is correct. That's why I lost her voice*"

*for a while, Xiao Shi and Feng Yue laughed together, but over time they felt pity, and Xiao Shi decided to end Teng She's punishment. The rope and feathers have now disappeared. His voice was also returned*.

" *Huh,,,, huh,,, me,,, me se, a, a, a, a, a dragon,, honorable, treated like this,,, by you? humans do not, know themselves" said Teng She gasps*.

" *I don't think the punishment was enough for you, it looks like I should repeat it again" Xiao Shi was about to move his hand but Teng She raised her hand*.

" *All right, I'm sorry. Stop that*"

" *Why haven't you slept?" Feng Yue asked Xiao Shi*.

" *There's something I'm thinking about" he replied*.

*Instead of answering, Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking. He had a plan, previously he wasn't sure, but now he thought it should be done*.

" *Feng Yue, I need your help*"

" *Say princess" yes there are some times sometimes they have to go back professional even though there is no one. That aura Xiao Shi exuded could signal whether she wanted to become a friend, or a princess with her servants*.

" *Bring everyone I've ever asked to train first. Tell them it's time they did their job*."

" *All right, what's the job*?"

" *Put them on everyone related to the Empire. In each kingdom under the orders of Zhao, their minister. And also the imperial people, Ministers, soldiers, generals, palace kitchens, concubines, and Zhao himself. Keep them all in touch. I'm sure you can set it up*"

" *Good daughter, I'll do it*"

" *Solve as soon as possible, if possible I want it done before we leave for the range*"

" *Sure*"

" *And you're Teng She! do the same. Talk to the demons and demons in each region to report it to you if they hear anything about Zhao, or something that will harm me and my family*"

*Teng She woke up from her sleep. " You're telling me when my body goes limp like this*?"

" *Aren't you a great dragon? just like this weak*"

*heard the taunts making Teng She straighten up her body, and ripped her body*.

" *Do my orders Teng She*"

" *Alright, I don't have an option* anyway*"

*Then Teng She flicked her arm and disappeared*.

*Xiao Shi shook her head, "Do your duty Feng Yue*"

" *Good daughter, I'm sorry*"

***FLASHBACK END***

" Ah, I understand now. Then what are the people you're asking for?" ask Yuan.

Xiao Shi gawked at Yuan's question, he thought Yuan really understood.

Xiao Shi sighed and shook his head, "I asked that to keep an eye on every single one of the people in the empire. Prevent anyone from planning to harm me or the Wang Kingdom."

Yuan nodded his head.

" Not only that, I also ask for the same for all the allies of the Empire. That's why I asked Teng She for help, as the Elders of the demons so that all demons and demons could cooperate, any news they heard of all that would be conveyed to her."

" Ahhhh I understand now, you are so great Shi'er! How could you think of such a thing?"

" That's because he's not stupid like you!!" the Sarkas Teng She.

" You!!!!" Yuan ruffled his waist and glared at Teng She.

" Already, already. The Feng Yue report I have received, it is now your turn. Is there any news?" xiao Shi asked staring at Teng She.

" Hmmm" he answered lazily.

" What is that?"

" I won't tell you" he said, turning his face away. Feng Yue who saw that pulled Teng She's ear and directed her to look at Xiao Shi.

" Say it right!!" said Feng Yue.

" You!! How dare you touch my skin!! I'll—"

" I will punish you if you dare to touch Feng Yue with your strength" Xiao Shi cut down.

Teng She could only snort at Feng Yue. Imagining the punishment he would receive made him shudder.

" What's up?"

" My subordinate said that your future husband never did anything for the people and all the kingdoms under him, all the kingdoms under him would pay taxes and all their crops on him. In accordance with established rules and regulations. But when they complained or asked for help for what happened to them, there was never any response from the empire." Definitely Teng She.

Xiao Shi, Yuan, and Feng Yue were shocked upon hearing her.

" I don't think he's going to be that cruel, I think there's still a conscience, I think all this is just his selfishness to rule the mainland. I was wrong" Yuan said.

" You're right Yuan, seeing him treat Shi'er made my thinking change, maybe he wasn't as cruel as he said. But it turned out that he was more than that" Feng Yue chimed.

" So, they're all doing their duty, but they're not getting their rights. That means they are doing their duty on the basis of fear" Xiao Shi said.

" You are right, your future husband will raise the flag of war on a kingdom that does not do its duty." Teng She confirmed.

" I got it. Thanks"

" Hmmm"

" Are you sure you're gonna run this wedding?" ask Teng She.

" why? Are you worried about me?" goda Xiao Shi's.

" Tsk. Just hope."

" then?"

" I just feel like he doesn't deserve you. He is very evil, while you are, you are also evil because you have enslaved me, but your crimes are not worth it. He even exterminated my innocent class, he's like he's not human"

Xiao Shi smiled, "I see, this means that my duties will be numerous"

" Duty? What assignment?"

" What are you gonna do?"

Teng She and Feng Yue asked simultaneously.

" You'll find out later, and get ready for fatigue "

Many bad things you've done Zhao, you think I'll just let her go? It might look like I'm doing it for you, but trust me. I just do it for myself, even if it benefits you, I don't care. I told you, I'll do it for myself, just for myself.

inner Xiao Shi.
