Empress
Episode 39 - Plan
The sun was shining brightly this morning, flowers were blooming beautifully, butterflies were flying and perched among the flowers. It was a beautiful morning, right? Sure oes. Nature seems to support people to do good today. But unfortunately, this was the day that Xiao shi's plan would begin.
" Have you done what I told you to do?" asked Xiao Shi.
" Of course Your Majesty, I have changed the warrant to search the home of Minister Yun for Mr. Hao to do" Feng Yue explained.
" And what about Master Hao, has he received his warrant?"
" I think he'll take it this morning Your Majesty"
" good. Yuan, what about you? What potion did you find in the grand concubine's residence?"
" There are no dangerous herbs for now Your Majesty, just some ingredients, herbs that are often used on the wedding night, and also some beauty herbs. I heard that Grand Concubine has already started drinking her fertilizing potion."
" Well, nothing is dangerous, and I guess he did indeed obey his father's will, beautifying himself and luring the emperor."
" Right Your Majesty"
" Alright, I don't think he's a hindrance at the moment. Now let's play with that old minister. Teng She how's your report?"
Silent, not a single word was spoken from the mouth of the red-haired man, he was just cool eating while crossing his legs. Seeing that Xiao Shi moved his hand and threw a brush at him.
On target! The brush hit his head.
" Can't you be gentle a little? I am a legendary dragon!"
" Can't you just say a little? I am your master!"
With a lazy and annoyed face, Teng She finally got up and walked over to Xiao Shi. " The old man began to cooperate with several groups of criminals. He asked them to follow you and attack you when the time was right.He also asked for some deadly poison from the demons, I think it's for you"
" ouchhhh" Teng She lamented when her head was hit by Yuan.
" What's your problem, stupid girl?!"
" You can say dangerous things without feeling."
" Ckk, that's stupid shit"
" You--"
" that's enough, it's not the time to fight. Your report I received, has Minister Yun returned to the palace?" said Xiao Shi broke up the quarrel between the two different species.
" It doesn't seem like it yet, maybe he'll make it to noon"
" All right, let's wait for him to get here"
" What about His Majesty Fu Tong?" asked Feng Yue.
" Do as usual"
" good"
Outside the room, he saw Fu Tong just standing still while yawning. Now he started to go crazy because he always chatted with trees due to his boredom.
" Are you not bored? To be a tree that only dwells and always sits? I've only been sitting on you for a few days is very bored. How old are trees? Dozens? Decades? Hundred years? Or even thousands of years?" fu Tong said to the tree he was sitting on.
This speech of his was of course heard by Yuan as well as Feng Yue, to be honest they were very eager to laugh now, Fu Tong looked very like a fool now.

Early in the morning the imperial party visited Mr. Hao's residence, several soldiers lined up outside his residence, and several other entourage entered his yard.
" RECEIVE THE WARRANT FROM KAISAAAAARRRRR!!!"
All the residents who were there came out and knelt before the person who shouted earlier, including Master Hao and Yanran.
" FOR THE CASE THAT OCCURRED REGARDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE IMPERIAL DECREE THAT WAS HANDED OVER TO THE YUN MINISTER, AND WITH NO PROGRESS IN THIS CASE. SO THE EMPEROR HANDED OVER AND TRUSTED THE CASE TO HAO CHANG TO LEAD HIS CONTINUATION. TAKE HIS ORDERSAAA!!"
Master Hao and Yanran were stunned for a while, was this task really given to him? After a long time in the kingdom, this is the first time he is trusted to lead a case, he said, and what made him not believe was that the first case he led was a big and very serious case, did he dream?
Feeling that there was no movement and response from the two people in front of him, the person who had read the command began to get upset.
" ASSY! THIS IS THE EMPEROR'S ORDER, ARE YOU TRYING TO REBEL!!!"
" Servant does not dare, please forgive me my leniency." Said master Hao surprised.
" Servant, Hao Chang received the Emperor's orders and trust with all his heart" he continued, and Yanran bowed.
The warrant along with the imperial seal was given to the servant of the Chang residence, and the party left with the guards standing guard outside his residence.
After the departure of the imperial officials Yanran helped his father to stand up. " Dad, is this true? Are you sure this isn't a trap from Daddy's ministers?"
" Who's dad then?"
' You just follow my game, Mr. Hao'
" This is the Empress's plan"
" Empress??" yanran asked confusedly.
" You're right" no, this isn't the answer that comes from Mr. Hao's mouth. But this was the answer that came from a girl who was standing on the verge of the entrance of the Chang residence.
" The Empress" master Hao and Yanran immediately approached while prostrating.
" Wake up" Xiao Shi said.
" Pardon us for not preparing anything for your coming here, Your Majesty"
" No need to bother Mr. Hao, I'm here because I have something to talk to you about"
" Then let's go to His Majesty"

Arriving inside the room, Xiao Shi took a look around the entire room. Yanran and Mister Hao simply stared at each other.
" I'm sorry Your Majesty because the room is so small"
" Ah that's okay, I was wondering, a court clerk has a very simple house, why? I'm sure your pay is big enough and even enough to buy a prestigious house for an official like you"
Mr. Hao smiled, "You're right Your Majesty, my income is enough to buy a house larger than this"
" Why don't you buy it?"
" I'm sorry Your Majesty, but most of my income, I give to the people"
" It turns out you're an honest man, Mr. Hao"
" Thank you Your Majesty"
" From next month you don't have to bother putting your money aside, buy a decent place to live and spend your money on your happiness"
" But Your Majesty—"
" This is Hao's command, this is an order" Xiao Shi said in a stern and emphatic tone.
" Good" resigned Mr. Hao.
Yanran who was daritadi was there just quietly listening to the conversation between the two people above him. Honestly speaking, seeing the Empress made Yanran have countless questions in her head.
" I told you, I have things to talk about with you" Xiao shi's voice broke Yanran's daydream.
" Of course Your Majesty" replied Mr. Hao.
Xiao Shi stared at Yanran with a meaningful smile, Yanran smiled innocently, but Mr. Hao who understood the meaning of his smile immediately gestured for his daughter to leave them alone.
" A—ahh then excuse me Your Majesty" Yanran stood up and saluted him before coming out.
" I know you have a lot of questions Yanran has, but right now I have something important with your father" Xiao Shi understood what the lady-in-waiting felt, saying, but Yanran's father was his top priority at the moment.
" I understand Your Majesty" then Yanran came out and returned to his room without caring about the greeting from Yuan or Feng Yue.
" Why is he?" ask Yuan
Feng Yue who felt not curious just shrugged her shoulders.
' Ck, basic man' Inner Yuan.
