Empress
Episode 81

*Flashback

A few days before.....

Xiao Shi was sitting in his chair while reading a book. He was never allowed to focus when he read. Since then, yuan and fu tong have not stopped fighting. They always fuss over things that don't even matter at all. It made his focus split and was extremely annoying.

" Your Majesty" a servant approached them.

" What's up?" Ask Yuan.

" Outside was concubine Yi, and asked to meet you"

" Consort yi?" Mumbled Xiao Shi.

" Let him in"

Then xiao shi gestured for himself to be left alone with concubine yi.

This is the first time that concubine yi has met the Empress personally, she even came here without her servants. He did it in secret.

" Welcome concubine, how are you?" Sapa xiao shi as soon as concubine yi entered his room and the door closed very tightly.

Concubine yi paid her respects as she should. " Thank you for asking me. I am good, your majesty. I hope you're in good shape too"

" Of course. Be seated"

Xiao Shi poured the prepared tea for concubine yi, although concubine yi had already refused but xiao shi did anyway.

" It's the first time you've come here. So I have to make you feel comfortable as my guest, don't hesitate." Xiao Shi handed the teacup that was already filled with tea to Consort Yi.

" Thank you, your honor"

" What does your waiter like? I'll ask yuan for —"

" You don't have to do it, your majesty"

Xiao Shi frowned "why?"

" Sa-I went here alone"

Xiao shi let out his breath. Actually from the beginning he already knew it, so he wasn't surprised.

" Have anything been bothering you lately, concubine? If yes, you can tell me. Whatever it is"

" What is your honor?" Xiao shi nodded.

" If I want to report and complain about the state of the inner palace. Can that be too?"

" Of course, it's my duty to make sure everything's safe"

Concubine Yi took a deep breath before finally deciding to tell her everything. " It's about the great concubine"

" Say"

Consort Yi told me the whole chronology that happened, and everything she knew about the great concubine. In fact he gave all the records and information regarding everything that the grand concubine had done.

' he was this detailed as it turned out to be 'inner Xiao Shi.

The dates, times, events, and even reasons for all of Mao's known deviant behavior are written there. Including some of the torture victims hangs happened lately also there.

" This cannot be allowed, your honor. This is already too much"

Xiao Shi simply smiled. " I know, I knew it happened from the beginning of the concubine"

Concubine Yi was shocked in disbelief. If the empress found out why didn't she act at all?

" You know that, your majesty? And just let it go?"

" I know this sounds evil. But I can't just act without strong enough evidence"

" I'm sorry, your majesty. But what evidence are you looking for? The wounded concubines wouldn't that be enough evidence?" Consort Yi was starting to feel annoyed.

" It's not enough if it's just one person, we need a few people. And do you think I let oara the concubine get hurt? no. gabe. I took care of it, I even persuaded him to tell the truth in front of everyone later. I didn't abandon them concubines, I wasn't that bad "

Concubine Yi let out a sigh of relief. She thought the empress would be as evil as the grand concubine. But apparently not, he even acted secretly unexpectedly.

" Look at you a very detailed person. Are you here because you know you're the next target?"

" I?" Beo concubine Yi.

Xiao shi nodded.

" you're the next target, he'll start looking for your mistakes and punish you"

" Wh-what?"

" Will you cooperate?" The bargain xiao shi.

" Be the target and act like you know what. Then leave it to me"

" Your Majesty!" Concubine Yi was not inexhaustible with the empress' thoughts. How could he be the next target.

Xiao shi tried to inform her of her plan and persuaded concubine yi to have her willing to make a sacrifice.

1 hour trying to persuade and explain, finally concubine Yi agreed. Now that there was no doubt in her, she was already very confident in the empress' plans.

" How?" Asked Xiao shi.

" Okay, your highness. I agree"

" good. Prepare yourself for torture"

*Flashback off

...🧊 🧊 🧊...

Yuan had just returned from concubine Yi's residence. He had already treated and treated the concubine's injuries according to the direction given by Xiao Shi.

" Where's the Empress? Has he not returned?" He asked slowly so as not to be heard by the other servants.

" He's still being squeezed. There seems to be a problem there because this is not in accordance with his plan" replied Yanran no less slowly.

Bruuk!!

It sounded like a sound falling from within. It seemed that xiao shi had already returned. Yuan and his comrades immediately entered and saw the situation.

" Your Majesty" respect them four in unison.

" Are there any obstacles there, shi'er? This is beyond the initial time agreement" Yuan asked.

" Hmmm. Tao found a new spirit animal near the store a few days ago. He was seriously injured and Tao decided to take him. But who knows if the animal will be so rebellious. So I have to tame her first "answer her while opening her veil and tidying herself up.

" Have anyone been hurt?" Asked Feng Yue.

" no. Everything's secure. Ah yes, how about concubine Yi?"

" It's getting better, he's constantly asking you"

" All right, prepare my visit"

" Good" feng Yue and yuan instantly came out to prepare for the Empress' visit. Fu tong and yanran are still inside.

" What about you guys? Is everything going well?"

" Of course the Empress. After escorting concubine yi to her residence back then I immediately spread the gossip as planned.

" good"

" Even the rumors we never expected, your majesty" timpal fu tong said.

" you mean?"

" They all thought that what you did was truly an insult to the great concubine. Punishing a great concubine but giving her decision only through a servant? That's really low-key"

Xiao Shi simply smiled. " This is according to plan. Let it spread and don't block anything. "

" Okay, Your Honor "

" What about the residence? Did anyone break my orders?"

" There is a noble"

Xiao Shi was startled and looked at fu tong with a hard-to-digest gaze. " I can't believe anyone would break it. Then, have you taken care of it?"

" He is in our place, your majesty "

" Alright, let him live until the meeting. Spread also the rumor that the maid was kidnapped right away when she tried to break my orders"

" Good noble" said the two.

' It looks like this will be the beginning of a very big incident. I don't know why this makes my heart so unsettled. But, even so I should still do this inner xiao shi.
