Empress
Episode 36 - Thumping

After hearing the explanation from the Empress, Master Hao could not help but feel astonished. How could a queen do that? Back then, she was told how the Empress was aware of information regarding the disappearance of the Imperial Decree. How Feng Yue was able to get her, and how she knew the right moment to attack Minister Yun.

Mr. Hao assured himself, it seems that the Empress is indeed not to be underestimated. The plan and all preparations were already owned by him, no matter what happened it would be under the control of the Empress. She really had to be careful, besides that her daughter was also within the reach of the Empress. If he messed around, Yan Ran could have been targeted. Moreover, the words of the Empress at that time were very swirling in her head. For some reason, but he felt like he was getting a heavier burden than before.

" I decided to trust you Inspector. Because it'll tell you everything you want to know. But, you have to be on my side, you will support me no matter what the circumstances. I know, you're gonna need support for your career. And I need an honest man who is ready to uphold the truth as you are. As long as you are loyal to me and the truth, then your life is assured in my hands!"

If you look around, the Empress is not a power-hungry bad person. But there was something strange in the Empress from her point of view. Butwhat? Ah forget that. Right now, Master Hao had already decided that he would trust the Empress and devote himself to her.

Isn't that a blessing? When an empress would usually ask for support from Ministers with the strongest power, the Empress instead chose her who was old and did not have a supporting factor against a power.

After everything that happened, Mr. Hao was even more curious about the Empress. With such brilliant thinking, it was impossible for the magic level to be low right? Is he on par with the Emperor level? Ah no way. The emperor was at the highest level, level 10, everyone knew that. It was impossible for the Empress to be at that level, let alone the Empress to be a woman. At the highest possible the Empress would be at the 7th level.

Master Hao shook his head, what was he thinking? He should have prepared the investigation materials by now and handed them to the Emperor.

Ashhh, you stupid.

*^*

Currently Emperor Zhao was walking with his convoy. Discussing the Empire's problems in his room was sometimes very boring.

" So, how's the progress of Minister Yun's case?"

" I'm sorry Your Majesty but the Decree is really nowhere to be found, the suspicion of the Decree being stolen to threaten the security of the Empire is getting bigger" Kasim Han explained as he accompanied the Emperor's move.

" then? What does the court do? I certainly didn't hire them here just to guess"

Eunuch Han and Huang Li looked at each other.

" Pardon Your Majesty, but the Court has not made any movement yet" Eunuch Han had to say this with a heavy heart.

The Emperor only sighed, he knew the Court was under the direction of Minister Yun. If the Court does not take any action in the future, then this is the true fault of Minister Yun.

" What about Master Hao, did he not find anything either?"

" So far he has reported nothing to His Majesty, it seems that no evidence has been found" Huang Li replied.

The emperor breathed again. " all right"

In the midst of the indeterminate journey, from a distance the Emperor saw the silhouette of a woman with a golden pattern on her shoulder. He was just standing on the riverbank doing nothing, not far from where there was a entourage of servants and some soldiers.

That is the Empress, what is she doing by the pool like that?

It did not take long for the Emperor to widen his steps and approach his Empress.

As Yuan and Feng Yue wanted to greet the Emperor stopping her, she did not want the Empress to know that she was coming.

Now, the Emperor was already standing right beside Xiao Shi, but there was no movement from the girl. He daydreams.

" Are you unhappy here?" the Emperor's speech was able to snatch back Xiao shi's consciousness.

Seeing the Emperor who was already beside him, Xiao Shi immediately paid his respects. " Your Majesty, since when are you here? Forgive me for not realizing your arrival"

Seeing Xiao Shi bending his body made the Emperor's hand extend out by itself and held onto both of Xiao shi's shoulders. " Wakeup"

Xiao Shi who was shocked by the touch on his shoulder also made the Emperor startled and immediately pulled his hand back.

" Ekhemm, sorry "said the Emperor, his ears are flushed a little now.

" Thank you Your Majesty"

Silent...

There was no talk of either.

" Your Majesty"

" Empress"

said the Emperor and Xiao Shi simultaneously. Of course it made the atmosphere even more awkward, the Emperor even scratched his non-itchy cheek.

" You first"

" Is that?"

Xiao Shi nodded his head.

" Alright, you haven't answered my question from the Permaiasuri? Are you unhappy here?"

" Why are you asking like that, Your Majesty?"

" You're daydreaming on the river bank. For an empress it was rare, unless she was unhappy"

" If I am happy or not, will it affect you Your Majesty?"

Zhao turned his gaze to look at Xiao Shi, those beautiful, shady eyes had always been his favorite part from the start. But now it seems that the eye holds a sadness.

" Are you unhappy?"

Xiao Shi smiled behind his veil. " Happy Your Majesty? Is this marriage based on happiness?"

" Of course"

DEG!!!

Whatdoes thatmean? Was the Emperor trying to seduce her or something? What happiness does he mean?

" Are you happy Your Majesty?"

" Of course, marrying you was the best decision I've taken so far. Making you the Empress who will always accompany me, shouldn't that be a happiness?"

DEG!!!

Bluussshhhh~~~~

'What the fuck? The Emperor was drunk. He would not be able to possibly say that' Xiao shi's inner

Xiao Shi's heart was now pounding very fast, it was pounding very fast than usual. His cheeks were even now very red like a boiled crab. Xiao Shi turned his face away, he did not want this man before him to feel victorious because he was like this.

How could he be like this? Drugged only by the words of a man?! Oh God, it seems that since moving to this world there have been many changes about his emotions. But these? It's mortifying.

" Sir, why are you turning your face away like that? Did my words hurt you?"

Xiao Shi instantly turned his face and looked at the Emperor, they stared at each other. It felt as if the gazes were interlocking, they could not take their eyes off. Until finally Xiao Shi who first opened the lock.

" I'm sorry Your Majesty, but I must return to my palace. There are some things I have to take care of. Excuse me Your Majesty"

Xiao Shi instantly paid his respects and left just followed by his maids. Staying there too long is not good for his heart health.

The Emperor only saw Xiao shi's departure with his expressionless face. Suddenly, he realized something and widened his eyes and patted his eel slowly.

' God, what I told him. Why would I say such a thing? Where would my face be if I met her again after this? How could he believe it if it wasn't me who said everything, it just came out of my mouth, and I didn't realize it. Arghh!!!!! Forget it'

The change in the look on the Emperor's face was seen by the ladies and guards, as the emperor was angry that the empress had left him.

" Your Majesty, are you upset that the Empress just left you? Should I call him back?" ask Eunuch Han. He also saw how the change in expression happened to the Emperor, therefore he thought maybe it was his relationship with the Empress.

The emperor looked over with a face that was difficult to decipher. " Hush! Let's go back to my room!"

Hearing that Eunuch Han and Huang Li were increasingly wondering, did the Emperor and Empress quarrel earlier? Why are both so confusing.
