Empress
Episode 84

The news regarding the decline of concubine Yun and the appointment of concubine Yi had already spread greatly. Even the head of Mao's personal servant was already hung at the palace gate.

This made the people see the other side of her empress, although the empress was known for her kindness but it turned out that she was the one who never toyed with her words. This made the people respect their queen even more.

On the other hand, Zhao was busy with a huge pile of paper. Lately he has not been preoccupied with this paper.

" Your Majesty, rest. You haven't eaten since yesterday" Eunuch Han scolded.

" A little while longer" Zhao replied but was still struggling with his paper paper.

In fact, this incident started from Huang Li who reported that Xiao shi had already given his visitation schedule to the concubines. Since then he was immediately asked to search the files related to concubines.

" Eunuch han, return some of this paper. And clean up the trash. Huang li, give me this scroll according to the name written there. Do this secretly, and don't give it to anyone. Just give it to the receiver "

" Good, your majesty" said the two in unison.

Zhao leaned his body against the chair. He could finally finish it all. With the scroll, he could mess up the schedule of visits made by his empress.

*Flashback

As the queen mother visited the emperor's residence, she realized something was troubling her son. It was then that Zhao said Xiao shi's crazy plan that made the concubine's visit schedule.

" What your empress is doing is not wrong son" the Queen's mother said.

" What's not wrong? She doesn't appreciate my feelings mom!"

" Do you think it's easy for him to set that schedule? His heart must have been sick, too"

" No ma'am. He did it with pleasure to keep me away from him. She made that schedule when she never made it either "

The queen mother did not think out of the stubbornness that her son had. " Come here, listen to good mother"

Zhao approached resignedly and let his mother hold her hand as when calming her first when she was a child.

" Dadmy only has 2 concubines, it doesn't require any visitation schedule. Your father even visited us all fairly. These are all different from you, you have dozens of concubines, and you never visited them at all in the first place. Based on existing regulations, if it is like this it must be made a schedule of visits arranged by the Empress as the leader of the palace in. "

Zhao was speechless trying to digest what his mother said. " Then, what should I do?"

" Return the women you don't want back to where they came from "

Zhao was surprised, he just heard something like this "Is that possible, mother?"

" It can, on one condition"

The queen mother told zhao what he had to do so he could scrape off one by one the concubines.

*Flashback off

After resting and being forced to eat by eunuch han, Zhao preferred to take a walk to relieve his fatigue. However, instead of relieving the fatigue precisely his decision this time made his head want to explode.

In front of him, right in front of him, right, right in front of him General Chi was chatting with his empress. They even laughed together. Is their story not over? Zhao clenched his hands and immediately returned to his residence.

" Your Majesty —"

" Go Eunuch, I want to be alone"

Eunuch Han understood the feelings of his emperor, he chose to go out and not bother Zhao.

On the other hand Huang Li had finished giving all the papers given by the emperor, how surprised he was that the contents of the paper was to return the concubines to his home. With his magic high enough, putting things without being known to people around is an easy thing.

It was night time and it was time for him to return to his room after a day of spreading letters here and there.

" Hoaaammmm-s. Today was very tiring" Huang Li threw herself down and fell asleep.

...🧊 🧊 🧊...

The next day, news of the concubines being returned to the palace and their homes had spread. It had even reached Xiao shi's ear.

" What exactly is the plan?" Mumbled Xiao Shi.

" I'm sorry if I interrupt Your Majesty, but this seems to be the way to prove his feelings for you" Fu Tong said.

"You mean?" Xiao Shi asked not understanding. What proof? Wh-wh-what for?

" The last time you were together, didn't you quarrel over the schedule of the emperor's visit with the concubines?" fi tong asked cautiously, afraid of offending Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi nodded.

" He seemed to be trying to get rid of the concubines so that the schedule of the visit did not happen"

Xiao Shi began to understand. If what Fu Tong said was true then it meant that the emperor was already very crazy. " Let's go there" he said as he passed away.

When Xiao Shi arrived at the emperor's palace, he saw that there were many personal servants of concubines waiting in line to give a letter of approval to be returned to the kingdom and its place of origin.

Everyone looked at him. " His Majesty the empress "respect them.

" What are you guys doing? As a personal servant of a concubine you should remind them of their duty and devotion to the emperor. Why did you guys approve of him and come here?" Xiao Shi asked with anger.

Xiao shi's arrival and anger rang out into the room. Zhao ordered Eunuch Han to come out and approach Xiao Shi. " If she asks to come in, tell her I'm busy and will see her the next day"

Just as Eunuch Han was about to open the door, he heard the voice of a servant who seemed to be trying to answer Xiao shi's question yet he was frightened. His voice sounded very shaky.

" Please forgive the queen. However, concubines who serve do not feel happy to be in the palace even with the facilities and honor given. A life that goes without love will feel very heavy every day "answered one of the servants.

" I've already made a schedule—"

" Empress "Easim Han's arrival stopped the furious action that Xiao Shi was about to take next.

" Eunuch Han, where is His Majesty?"

" His Majesty is inside. He advised that if Her Majesty the Empress wishes to see him then return, Your Majesty will meet you later in the day" the remark given by the eunuch han slightly made Xiao shi's heart ache. The Emperor refused to meet him?

" Tell him I will wait here until His Majesty is done" Xiao Shi stubbornly said.

" But —" eunuch han could not continue his words once he got a look that made his chest a little tight from the empress.

" Well, I'll say "then eunuch han comes in and says what the Empress said.

" Alright, let him wait" Zhao said. It made Huang Li and Eunuch Han surprised. How could his emperor allow a woman, who was none other than an empress to stand so long before the door? Oh god why did you create this stubborn creature to be with.

" Eunuch Han, help me again" he said. Eunuch han could not refuse his Emperor's orders even though he felt sorry for the empress.

Time went by so fast, even the servants who had been waiting in line were now gone. It was almost night, and there was only one more servant inside waiting for Zhao's approval and decree.

" Thank you Your Majesty. Thank you, finally the princess can return to her kingdom. Thank you" said the waiter. Zhao just nodded without any emotion.

Just as the maid was about to come out, Huang Li held her back. " When you came in, was the empress still outside?"

The waiter nodded. " The Empress even refused to eat even though the servants offered her, she also refused to sit down and chose to remain standing. It also refused to shift when the sunlight was pointed towards it earlier. It seems that the Empress really did not like the decisions of the concubines" said the maid a little grieved. After all, the Empress was not a bad person or arbitrarily like concubine Yun. Therefore the servants cared deeply for him even though they did not serve him directly.

"Alright, thanks. You can go"

Afterwards, Huang Li received a sharp glare from Zhao. " You seem very considerate of the Empress"

GLEEKK!

Huang li swallowed his own saliva. Oh god will he die today? the real question was to awaken the emperor. But it seems like this made him misunderstand.

" His Majesty this is not—"

BRAAAKKKKK!!

Zhao instantly rose from his chair and walked up to Huang Li with a gaze that felt like he was able to chop off his head this instant. Huang li had already prepared himself to resign and accept his death with a chest of air.

But nothing happened to him. Zhao passed him just like that and went out followed by Eunuch Han.

" What are you doing stupid! Let's go!" Eunuch han's words resuscitated Huang li from his daydream.

Once out zhao immediately looked with Xiao shi's eyes that were no less cold. His heart felt even more pained, this gaze was the gaze when they first met at wang. Previously Xiao shi had always looked at him with a gaze that felt warm and made the love within him even greater. But this time it was different, this gaze was like a hateful gaze.

Zhao stepped his foot towards Xiao shi. No, wait this is not approaching Xiao Shi. His steps were indeed heading towards Xiao shi, but now Zhao was not standing before him but rather beside Xiao shi's ranks.

Zhao stared straight at the door in front of him without any intention of turning his head to the side. " Come home, it's night. We'll talk about it the next day"

" We need to talk now, Your Majesty" Xiao Shi replied with his stubbornness.

" I'm tired, come back" Zhao just stepped foot. Yet Xiao shi's remark was able to bring his steps to a halt.

" If you go, and refuse to speak now. Then I will file my consent letter to be returned to my kingdom as well"

Zhao's body stiffened. Not long after, however, Zhao smiled. " Then do it, empress "Zhao continued his steps without hesitation.

While Xiao Shi smiled wryly. " All right, I'll do it"
