Empress
Episode 69

Last night's celebration went well. The kings and queens went home the next day, except for the king and queen of the kingdom of Wang.

" Why haven't you done your duty as a wife?"

Xiao shi who was asked like that by his mother immediately wavered not knowing what to answer.

" i... L'm... Where do you know we haven't done it" she said.

Queen wang sighed and gently rubbed Xiao shi's back. " Don't try to lie to your mother, you haven't. Because if you've done everything, everyone will know it, my daughter "

Xiao shi frowned, "What does mother mean?"

" You'll understand later"

Both of them went out and approached the father who was near the train waiting for his wife.

As soon as the two arrived, the king of money immediately saw his daughter and turned to look at the emperor.

" Your Majesty, I would like to apologize if my daughter during this time might offend you a lot. Indeed must be a little patient in guiding him, I beg your noble understanding"

" Ah, king of money you should not hesitate. Your daughter is my wife, especially if I choose her, of course, whatever the risk is, I will be responsible and patient "

" Thank you, look son, your husband loves you so much"

Xiao shi nodded and looked awkwardly at zhao, he actually still did not have the face to meet the emperor due to last night's incident.

Queen Wang came back to her daughter and hugged her, she still misses her youngest daughter very much, but what can be done, she must immediately return to the kingdom.

After finishing with the mother, this time xiao shi hugged his father tightly, he wanted to come back with his parents, but fate instead locked him in this palace.

"Send my regards to Long, father" he whispered. However, his whispers could still be heard by Zhao.

King Wang bade back to the emperor, then went on his horse. Although he was old, the king of money was still very healthy and able to ride a horse, he refused to ride a car with his wife because he felt his body was still very strong and healthy.

The departure of the money king was like taking half of xiao shi away as well, he looked a little grim. He just sits on the edge of the pond while feeding his fish. Zhao who saw that immediately approached his empress.

" You sad?"

The unconscious Xiao shi instantly confirmed his sitting position. " Your highness"

His face blushing immediately if the veil does not cover.

'fuck, why last night's events are still overshadowed '

Zhao picked up the fish food that Xiao shi was in hand with and pelted the fish with food. To be honest, he felt awkward dealing with xiao shi.

" On last night's events...." Zhao hung up his words.

" Ah, I'm sorry for my sassness, your majesty" Xiao shi said frantically.

" No no, you ... You don't have to apologize, I'm not offended at all"

The atmosphere was getting awkward between the two of them, this was the atmosphere that was forward between all the atmosphere.

" Is your statement last night serious?" Tanya zhao tried to erode her strange situation.

" What? Which one?" Xiao shi recalled remembering what he said last night.

" On your feelings"

" Ah, that, I..... "

Zhao breathed a disappointed breath. " If that's not true then—"

" That's right, your majesty" he said.

" What?"

" Well, what I said last night was true, and of full self-awareness"

" Good" now Zhao could sigh in relief. He rubbed xiao shi's head gently. " thank you"

Dug Dugs! Dug Dugs!

'oh god, don't let this heart jump. Why should this man do that, collapsing is already my defense if it's like this'

...🧊 🧊 🧊...

The night wind blew fiercely, the stars scattered beautifully, and the moon shone brighter this time.

Xiao shi decided to take a night stroll for the first time in the zhao imperial region. His heart had been unsettled and agitated since noon, so he decided to go out quietly.

Xiao shi was accompanied by Yuan, he did not even wear his veil. But Yuan wore his mask so that no one would recognize him. They also did not hide his cultivation, not all were, but xiao shi only locked his cultivation at level 5 and Yuan at level 4.

As they were walking, he suddenly saw the silhouette of someone's body and looked very familiar. The person who was being stared at by the two of them immediately turned his body and brandished a sword.

" Who's there?"

He tried to approach the two people in front of him.

" You"

" Mister?!"

Said Xiao shi and General Chi simultaneously.

General Chi immediately sheathed back his sword and directed xiao shi to sit near the bonfire he had made.

" Long time no see, how are you?" Ask General Chi.

" I'm good sir, how about you? Is your horse raging again?" Ask while interspersed with the rarity at the end.

" Hahaha, of course not. Where did you forget this?"

" Where is it?" Asked Xiao shi innocently.

" Why are you so stupid, are you lost?"

" No"

" then? Why are you in the Yushi imperial forest?"

Xiao shi scratched his non-itchy nape. " I've been wanting to go out and explore the world for a long time, this is the first time I've set foot in this forest so I haven't had time to figure this out where, hehee"

General Chi shook his head. " You're women, how can you wander around like this. Has anyone been bothering you all this time?"

" Of course there are many masters, you know my lady is very beautiful. How could no one tease him" Yuan's serobot before xiao shi had time to reply.

Shortly after, there came two other masked men with swords in their hands. General Chi immediately got up and gave his respects.

The two people stared at Xiao shi and Yuan in full probing. General Chi who knew the meaning of the gaze immediately asked Yuan and Xiao shi to stand up.

" Mister, these two women are my friends, she is Miss Ling and Miss Liu"

" Greetings Master" Xiao shi and Yuan said simultaneously.

The two masked men immediately sat by the bonfire, followed by the others as well.

" Why did you bring them here? Who knows they are spies" cynical masked man next to him, if seen see maybe he is the bodyguard of the other man.

" They're not spies, they're my friends, they're from Wang's kingdom" explained General Chi who of course made the two masked men instantly see each other.

" The Wang Kingdom?"

" Aright, sir"

" Mister General, is he your superior? Why did you call him sir? Shouldn't your boss be your father?" Yuan asked without thinking about the grammar.

General Chi who was asked like that was of course a joke, the reason is that they are currently undercover, but these two girls know his identity.

Hearing that the man who looked like a bodyguard earlier directly pointed his sword right at Yuan's neck. " Who are you?"

Xiao shi and General Chi instantly panicked.

" Shortly, wait, why are you doing this?" Ask general chi.

" They know your identity"

" That's because I told him when we met at Wang"

" Tell me how you met" said the other man.

General Chi let out a sigh of resignation, then he told me everything from the beginning to the end they met again here. The two masked men seemed to think and communicate with each other through the gaze of each other, they were very mysterious.

" So, do you think it's safe if he knows our identity?"

" Of course it's safe sir" replied General Chi confidently.

" Tell him who we are" said the masked man, looking at his bodyguards and nodding at each other's heads.

What code is that?

" Are you sure sir?" Tanya Chi made sure.

The man nodded. General Chi sighed.

" Alright, Miss Ling, Miss Liu. The man I call this master, he is the leader of the Yushi empire, that is emperor Zhao. And the person next to him was the bodyguard as well as the right hand of the emperor, Huang Li"

DUAARRRRRRRR!

Xiao shi was shocked within her, how could she even cross paths with her husband again? Oh god why the world is so narrow.

Compared to Xiao shi who displayed a flat face and seemed to not understand, Yuan was actually surprised, lucky that he wore a mask so invisible at all.

Afterwards directly Xiao shi stood up and paid his respects to an emperor, followed by Yuan as well.

" I'm sorry for not knowing you, Your Majesty" Xiao shi said as he prostrated.

" It's okay, wake up"

The two of them got up and sat down like before. The two masked men immediately took off their masks and placed them on the ground.

' this is truly the emperor, oh god why do you have to doom me to meet him even while being outside' Xiao shi lamented in his heart.

' shi'er's fate is really bad. He came out because he wanted to calm his heart from the emperor, but instead met the emperor here too' Inner Yuan.

They talked about a lot of things, including his undercover operation. It turned out that the emperor had indeed done a disguise like this for a long time to look at the situation and make sure everything went smoothly.

" It turns out that the emperor did as well, all this time all I know is that only kings do it often" Xiao shi said as he grumbled his head.

" Why just the king?" Ask General Chi.

" Since the emperor has such a high standing, I think such a person would find it unsuitable to disguise himself as an ordinary person" he answered the plate. While General Chi was not careless, afraid of Ling's words offending his emperor.

" Ah that, that,, our emperor is not like that" General Chi said.

" Mister Chi, why is this empire called Yushi? Is it supposed to be the same as the emperor?" Ask Yuan.

General Chi looked at Zhao as if asking for permission, and Zhao nodded his head.

" That's because this used to be just a kingdom, a kingdom called Yushi. But after the leadership was switched by the late emperor before then this kingdom became an empire, and we do not intend to change its name, he said, it was a reminder that the struggle to get to this point took a long time and sacrifice" he explained.

Xiao shi and Yuan nodded together. While Zhao had not taken his eyes off Xiao Shi, he kept looking at him as if probing into something.

" Did I make a mistake, sir? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Shi asked slightly presumptuously.

Zhao raised his eyebrows, "where your manners are miss, I heard that money is the one who upholds the values of modesty"

" Why should I be polite? We look the same age. Besides, even if you're an emperor, aren't you in disguise? I don't have to respect you too much" he said.

Zhao shook his head, he was looking at Ling because he felt similar to someone. But looking at his behavior, the two of them were very different .

" It's too late, let's go back" Zhao asked. He and Huang Li immediately put on their masks and prepared to leave.

" Where are you going to sleep, miss?" Ask general Chi.

" We will sleep here, take it easy sir, we are used to it, and don't take us anywhere" Xiao Shi replied as if he knew where General Chi's question was headed.

" Well, all right, I can't force it. Beware, we'll see you again tomorrow night"

" Alright, be careful of your journey master" xiao shi and Yuan paid his respects once the three men left.

After the men left, Xiao Shi also decided to return to the palace with Yuan using his magic.

" Fuck it, why do you have to meet him again there" said xiao shi as he laid himself on the bed.

Outside the room, Yuan and the others were busy gossiping about what had happened, saying that this was disrespectful but they all laughed out loud when they found out that Xiao Shi had to meet the emperor again.

" Hahahaha, I can't help it, hahahha my stomach feels really sick" Teng she seemed to be the one who was most satisfied with it.

" But the emperor did it a long time ago, so it's not strange. What's strange is precisely why they have to meet again" said Fu Tong.

In the forest, Zhao, Huang li and General Chi who decided to go home by walking were still not there.

" You look like that girl, general" seduced Huang Li.

" Whose girl?" Ask general Chi to pretend.

" A pretty girl who wasn't wearing a mask earlier, what was her name? Ling?"

" Hmm, he's Ling" General chi's cheeks instantly turned red when mentioning Ling's name.

" Hoho, look at your majesty, her face is met. Our general seems to be really in love"

" Haishhh no, this is not love. She is beautiful, who is not interested in her? Too soon to conclude this love" elak the general.

Along the way, Huang li was busy mocking general chi continuously, to the extent that the general's face became very red, it felt that if juxtaposed with tomatoes the color of the tomatoes would lose.

As soon as he reached the palace, General Chi bailed to his residence. While Huang Li and Zhao immediately chatted in his study.

" Don't this look suspicious?" Ask Zhao.

" You are right, your majesty. People from Wang, but now being in this imperial forest was absolutely impossible. Maybe General Chi was already too blinded by his feelings, so he couldn't think clearly"

" Who do you suspect?" Zhao asked full of questions. Does this believer have the same thoughts as him or not?

" The empress, I thought the woman was the empress. And the other woman might be Yuan or yanran. But if you look at it, it's not yanran. And also general chi said that he had met them in wang, most likely they were empresses as well as her servant Yuan."

Exactly right! That was what Zhao had thought since. It turned out that he had not mistakenly recruited Huang Li, he was really smart.

" So, what's your plan?"

" Maybe we can ask the noble Fu tong"

" Right" Zhao immediately gave a signal and told Fu tong to face him.

" Greetings, Your Majesty. May your majesty have a thousand blessings" ucao Fu tong once appeared.

" Answer my question, did the empress and her servants leave the palace today?"

Fu tong pecked, damn it. What's he supposed to say? He had no time to practice answering this question, they were laughing. Stupid, I don't think about this.

" Fu tong, why are you quiet?"

" I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm remembering. As I recall that today's servants did not go anywhere, they were always around the palace and never came out, the last time the palace was when visiting Mr. Hao at that time " explained Fu Tong.

" Are you sure?"

" Of course, Your Majesty"

" All right, you can come back"

In an instant Fu Tong had already disappeared just like that.

" It looks like there's something that the boy is hiding" Zhao muttered.

" You are right, Your Majesty. It was not usual for him to think for so long when asked" Huang Li confirmed.

" Alright, it seems that in addition to investigating the forest girl earlier, we should also monitor the performance of the fu tong" Zhao snapped his finger and appeared a very beautiful young girl with her blue eyes.

" You, keep an eye on Fu Tong from now on and report to me" he said. The blue girl just disappeared.

" Huang Li, find out the information in Wang about the two girls. I have to make sure of that"

" Okay, your honor"

Huang li resigned and left Zhao alone.

' Those eyes, those are the same eyes I saw in the Wang royal hall. Although their attitudes are much different, I'm sure it's the same inner eye zhao.
