Empress
Episode 35 - We know!

After Mr. Hao's departure, Xiao Shi now discussed with Yuan and Feng Yue. There were only them at the moment, Xiao Shi even removed the cloth on his face. If it is like this, it means they are discussing as a friend.

" Can we trust him Shi'er?" to be honest Yuan was feeling misgivings.

" If he disappoints, Yanran is in our hands. So I don't think I should worry. Also, the information that Feng Yue gathered couldn't possibly be wrong. Didn't you?"

" Of course, I always try my best for all of us. Mr. Hao was not an indiscriminate person, he was not a crafty person. So believing it also benefits us, we need it for some things. And of course he needs us as support to sustain his career. Saying it or not, I'm sure there won't be anyone who does something for nothing" Feng Yue explained.

" Mister Hao is neither a bad man nor a sly man. But it was impossible if he did not want a supporter to prop up his career" Xiao Shi said.

" If it's like that, why hasn't he been looking for that support all this time?" ask Yuan.

" Yuan, I told you he's not a bad guy. While someone who can guarantee a support is people under the orders of Minister Yun. His heart is holy, he wants a truth, and it doesn't seem like he's discovered it all along" Ciao Shi explained.

" Shi'er is right Yuan, do you understand now?" asked Feng Yue. Yuan nodded his head steadily.

" What about Fu Tong, he hasn't come back here yet?" asked Xiao Shi.

" No, I'm sure he's still reporting everything to the Emperor." Replied Feng Yue.

" Make sure she doesn't know the fact that you're aware of her existence"

Yuan and Feng Yue nodded their heads together.

Hhhhhh!!

Xiao Shi, Yuan and Feng Yue immediately looked towards the door. Xiao Shi smiled and returned to using his veil.

" It looks like he's back" he murmured.

*FLASHBACK

Xiao Shi smiled satisfiedly as he managed to make Minister Yun silent without twitching. Xiao Shi stared at his face in the mirror, looking at his smile which was now much more dangerous than before.

When she becomes Ana, she will not smile at all while on a mission. But now? He even smiled, there was a sense of satisfaction in him. Whether this was good or not, but he would not do something to others if that person did not harass him first.

" Your plan is going well Shi'er" said Yuan, who was combing Xiao shi's hair. They're just two there.

" You're right Yuan, I didn't expect the Emperor to give you 100 magic lashes"

The magic whip was a pretty painful punishment for the person who possessed the magic. This whip risks making the flow of her victim's magic stop. One magic lash could make his victim unable to perform magic for one day. People who are used to magic will feel tormented if they cannot use their magic.

" 100 days without magic, what do you think he can do Yuan?"

" Maybe she'll feel upset and her feelings will fall apart. And for sure, he'll try to take revenge on you when the magic comes back"

" You're right. Hahhh,, well, let's see what he's going to do"

" Your Majesty, this is Feng Yue" he exclaimed from outside the room.

" come inside"

" How? " ask Xiao Shi impatiently.

Feng Yue closed the door, then bewitched for the room to become soundproof. Then he paid his respects to Xiao Shi.

" As planned, he was completely whipped. There was Huang Li watching over there, so he actually got the lash" Feng Yue explained.

" Huang Li? Hmmm nice. Then what about after?"

" Everyone is commanded to seek the Decree. The Emperor even asked the Court to intervene and watch over this incident"

" Court? But the Chief Justice is under Minister Yun's orders"

" That's right. But that was the Emperor's order"

" It seems that there is not a single honest official in this Empire Shi'er" Yuan said.

" There" chimpanzee Feng Yue.

" Who?" asked Yuan and Xiao Shi simultaneously.

" He's the Inspector of the Court, Mr. Hao. He's the only person who's honest and clean of all the people I know. He is Yanran's foster father."

" He's pretty good at surviving alone, being the only white when his surroundings are black" to be honest, if Feng Yue had not told him she probably would not have believed if there were still good and righteous people within this intrigue-ridden Empire.

" You're right Shi'er." Yanran agrees.

Wusshhhh!!!!

" It seems like someone is starting to watch over us" Feng Yue said.

Xiao Shi simply smiled, then got up from his seat. " Find out who the master is, and make sure you act like you don't realize it. Her magic energy is so high, I don't think she's a random person"

" You're right, I'll find out now" then Feng Yue resigned first.

" Yuan, you come out. I want to sleep"

" good"

Yuan paused and closed the door, letting Xiao Shi rest in comfort. The Empress's room had always been heavily guarded by the ladies and soldiers, but as of now it was a different matter.

The energy coming from a person could only be felt by certain people, an equivalent or even higher level. If it is felt, the energy was quite high, they are sure it is not the man who is a regular person.

Time changed so fast, the moon began to hide again, now only dawn was visible. Yuan was preparing preparations for Xiao shi's activities in the morning, suddenly someone approached him.

" How, has there been a result?"

" Emhh, come here" Feng Yue brought her face closer to Yuan's ear and whispered the information she had obtained.

" Well, I'll tell him later"

Feng Yue nodded, then left again. Yuan simply did not run out of thought, why would that person have to have someone keep an eye on Xiao Shi?

The rays of the morning sun had already appeared, now he was shining on Xiao shi's clean and smooth skin. Yuan was massaging Xiao shi's head, this was his usual morning bath.

" Has Feng Yue returned?" tanyakanya.

" Already"

" What information did he get?"

" The one watching us is named Fu Tong. He was the Emperor's man"

Xiao Shi was aghast, "Emperor?"

" right"

" What's the purpose?"

" Feng Yue said that the Emperor suspected you, and also seemed to be just to take care of you"

" Suspicious? Why would he take care of me if he suspects me?"

" He was just curious about you, that's what Feng Yue said"

" The emperor is weird. huh,,, fine. Let him follow us, it won't harm us either" hela Xiao Shi.

" But it will trouble us a little" he continued.

*FLASHBACK END

Feng Yue and Yuan walked out of Xiao shi's room.

" The queen will sleep, you may rest and replace the duties with other ladies." Yuan's word to the ladies.

" And tighten guard as long as the Empress rests!"

" Good Madam!" said some soldiers.

Feng Yue and Yuan threw eyes at each other, they knew that Fu Tong was right beside them now. But given the orders from Xiao Shi they had to pretend not to know about it. Finally, they decided to go to their rooms and rest.

The care and service of the Empress were already there to handle at night, they took turns to keep watch.

Xiao Shi who tried to close his eyes and fall asleep along with the night wind that entered the sidelines of his room could only smile inwardly. He had not expected that Emperor to do something like this to him.

'All right, Your Majesty, if this is what you want then I will follow it. I'll follow your game so you're happy. But I won't let you know everything about me that easily! Let's see, Your Majesty, I'm in your game? Or you're stuck in my game'
