Empress
Episode 49 - Switching Tuan(?)

Right now, a woman was sitting leisurely staring at a man in front of her who looked very nervous. The man seemed very restless, his fingers squeezing each other, as well as his toes that seemed to move slightly from inside his shoes. Do not forget the sweat that even now began to flow from his forehead.

The man was Fu Tong, and the woman who looked at him was Xiao Shi. They faced off like a master who was punishing the negligence of his servants. It was as if yesterday's celebration had never happened, and as if laughter as well as their closeness back then was just a dream. Even Yuan and Feng Yue were not as friendly as yesterday, would the red-haired man also be more sinister?

Fu Tong felt as if he could not stand up, not a word that the Empress told him, why does it feel so difficult to face the Empress instead of facing the Emperor? Is it possible because he has been with the Emperor for a long time, while with the Empress? Is it possible because of that? Not likely. But if it wasn't for that then what?

" Are you done with all your thoughts?" xiao Shi's voice stole Fu Tong's attention.

Actually Xiao Shi who had been silent earlier was to listen to Fu Tong's thoughts.

" I'm sorry my Empress, but what did you call my servant here?" from his question, it seemed like this Fu Tong was extremely impatient.

" Don't you want to know why we know where you are?"

Xiao Shi's reply made Fu Tong very interested. Is it possible if he wants to ask for her truth?

" Can I know Your Majesty?"

" Certainly, Feng Yue, explain everything" Xiao Shi said.

In accordance with his given orders, Feng Yue explained since the beginning of Fu Tong's arrival that was already known to them, she explained everything without anyone missing, including the reason behind the drowsiness that always experienced.

" So." said Fu Tong hanging.

" That's right, I told them to put you to sleep so you couldn't follow the things I was doing in secret" Xiao Shi explained.

'impossible' Inner Fu Tong. Who is the Empress? Why could he do such a thing? What secret did he mean?

" Because I found you, and that means you failed in your duty. Doesn't that mean your life depends on me now?"

What the Empress said was true, if it was like this shouldn't she have fought back and saved herself? But this was the Empress, injuring the Empress was the same as wounding the Emperor. It seemed like this time he had to resign, there was no other way.

Fu Tong knelt down, removed the sword from its sheath and gave it with both of his hands to Xiao Shi with his head bowed.

" What you say is true, Your Majesty, your servant's life is yours now" Fu Tong said.

This thing Fu Tong did made all of her feel dejavu. Back when in the forest, Feng Yue also did this.

Xiao Shi finally decided to take his sword and point it at Fu Tong's neck. " Are you sure of your decision?" xiao Shi asked to make sure.

Fu Tong took a deep breath. " Servant is sure Your Majesty"

Xiao Shi pressed down on the little sword that was on Fu Tong's neck, fresh blood started to gush out slowly from there.

" I asked again, are you sure?"

There's no answer. Fu Tong closed his eyes as if waiting for death itself.

" What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

" Work me from now on, follow my orders, isn't that the same as giving up your life"

" Your Majesty, but—how is it possible? Servant is a confidant of the emperor, if servant works on you does that mean the same as betraying the emperor?"

'it turns out he was just as stupid as Yuan' Inner Feng Yue.

" Not true but not wrong. You keep working for me and for the Emperor, but your life is entirely mine now, so I hope you know who you have to be more loyal to"

Fu Tong thought it seemed like this was a good choice rather than him dying. But wait why the atmosphere is different now, there is a more dominant aura here. Like there were others who had just joined them, but here were only the four of them.

Fu Tong raised his head to look around and was surprised when he knew that the dominant aura was coming from Yuan and Feng Yue, this aura was like the aura possessed by the emperor. Is it possible that they have already reached the highest magic level? Not likely.

Not stopping there, the red-haired man yesterday suddenly walked in and stood right beside Feng Yue, looking at her and waving his hands. Wait, why is his chest getting tight, the pressure from this high magic he can't stand, his breathing is really heavy, is that red-haired man? Fu Tong tried to take a look but this suppressing aura was not from the red-haired man. This aura comes from...

'The empress? Wait for. Am I not wrong?'

Fu Tong rubbed his eyes trying to see more clearly where this unwearing aura was coming from, he tried to lock his self-defense from falling down. But there was nothing wrong, this more pressing aura indeed came from the Empress who was holding a very beautiful sword in her hand.

Fu Tong kept trying to look at the four people in front of him carefully, how could anything that did not feel like any aura could suddenly come out like this? But as soon as his gaze reached the red-haired man, something happened, the man turned into a dragon, a red dragon that had pearls on its head. Waitaminute! There is only one dragon like that, Legendary Dragon. But hasn't the dragon been around for hundreds of years?

"Aarghhhhhhh!!!!"

Fu Tong held onto his head which was extremely painful. His eyes could not even see clearly now, the dragon was seen perched around the neck to the Empress's arm, while his head was directly above the Empress's arm holding the beautiful sword.

" Who are you" Fu Tong was already unable to endure the pain again and finally fell to the floor, he fainted.

Actually this was the way that Teng She planned, she knew that a person like Fu Tong would not easily turn away from his Master. Unless that person was taller than the previous master, since it was certain that he would feel powerless even if fighting back. All this time there was no one stronger than the Emperor, therefore even if he was found out he still devoted himself to the Emperor and no one was able to make Fu Tong his slave.

This plan that Xiao Shi had initially disapproved of had finally been carried out as well, for some reason in him desperately wanted to make Fu Tong his person. It was just that Xiao Shi felt that one day he would need Fu Tong as his person, not as a person from the empire.

This palace is too much intrigue, so inevitably, like to dislike, he also has to recruit his insiders, so inevitably, not because the people are not able but the connections and benefits of insiders are also sometimes very necessary. Although Xiao Shi currently did not know what good luck Fu Tong joined him, but he hoped that one day Fu Tong would really be useful to him.
