Empress
Episode 94

It's night time, everyone should be asleep by now. But Fu Tong instead preferred to meet someone secretly in the forest.

" Why have you been so long, I've been waiting for you since!" Said a woman wearing a hood on her head.

" I'm sorry, Grand Consort Yi"

Yi immediately opened his hood and looked at Fu Tong. " What exactly are you trying to say until you ask to meet here?"

" What are you planning?"

" plans? What's that supposed?"

" Sir, what plan do you want to do with her? What do you want to exchange?"

" What are you saying?"

" Don't try to play games with the Empress, Consort "

Grand Concubine Yi was surprised, how could Fu Tong say something like this? Is it possible that his plan was already known to the Empress?

" You, what are you...."

" Stop whatever your plan is. The empress already knows your plans and intentions, she is not an indiscriminate person. "

" You're lying, if the Empress found out she would've said it when I met her earlier"

" You think he's a fool? He already knows all your plans, don't even think of negotiating a bad deal with him if you want to survive "

" I can't believe it!"

" Ck, do you know? He plans to—"

Bruukkk!!

Fu tong suddenly collapsed and could not continue his words. His chest felt very tight, he was very difficult to breathe. Concubine Yi who saw that was very shocked and felt a sense of hesitation. He was confused as to what to do.

Suddenly a light appeared near them. From the light came Xiao Shi, Feng Yue, Yuan, and Yanran. Once everything came out the light disappeared by itself.

Yanran saw fu tong as if dying about to run but Yuan stopped him. "Don't make things worse, the Empress won't kill him, trust me"

Xiao Shi approached Fu Tong and the grand concubine yi. " Try to betray me, Fu Tong?"

"Ak—kkkuu— kkkkk" Fu Tong held his own neck, it hurt a lot there. He felt very suffocated. Don't talk, just move his body he can't.

Cold sweat poured down his body, his face already looking extremely pale. Concubine Yi wavered and immediately knelt down. " Your Majesty, please forgive Fu Tong. It's not his fault"

" You defended her concubine?" Cynical Xiao Shi.

" His Majesty "Consort Yi just silently lowered his head. While Fu Tong really was already very pale, even he seemed to have looked limp. Yanran's cry became more and more.

" Fen Yue"

" Okay, Your Majesty"

Feng Yue instantly understood the meaning of Xiao shi's call. He immediately approached Fu Tong and took out a small urn from his pocket. Then poured a little of the contents of the urn on Fu Tong.

A few moments after Fu Tong's breath was back in order, his pale face also now looked refreshed. Even Fu Tong was able to move his body back.

Feng Yue gestured for Fu Tong to approach Xiao Shi. Fu Tong finally prostrated himself before Xiao Shi and begged for forgiveness as well as thanks for still saving him.

" Great Concubine Yi, from now on Fu Tong has no return to you. He's my guy, tied to me, and can't betray me. And don't you know that none of my people can harass him, not even the emperor himself. So, if in the future you need his help you have to ask me" his decision is absolute. Xiao Shi was about to turn around and leave but concubine Yi's words stopped him.

" Please forgive Your Majesty, but Fu Tong owes me his life. And the debt of life will continue to last a lifetime and—"

KRRAAAAKKKK!

An enormous tree branch almost fell right on top of Consort Yi. And Xiao Shi stopped him, making the twig float right above Consort Yi's body. " Well, does this mean you owe me your life, too?"

" Your Majesty, this cannot be counted because of —"

Xiao Shi lowered his twig closer to Consort Yi's body. " Well, if this can't be counted then I'll let this twig hit you and make you die here"

Concubine Yi bit her lips, there was no other way she thought. " Okay, Your Majesty"

Xiao Shi removed the twig and inserted something into Consort Yi's body.

" The movement will form a leaf. As a sign you are my man too, and you must obey me and never plan to betray me. Otherwise, your fate will be like Fu Tong just now."

" Your Majesty, but—"

" Forgive me tonight, assume I've never met here, and don't tell anyone everything that's going on here. Feng Yue's! Take Grand Consort Yi back to her residence!"

Then Xiao Shi opened the portal to return to his palace and enter it with Yuan. Yanran approached Fu Tong and helped him to stand up. " Go away, the Empress did not tell me to follow her "Fu Tong threw Yanran's hand from her body.

" Don't be a child of Fu Tong, follow the Empress if you don't want to feel pain like that" Feng Yue said.

" But the Empress —"

" Follow him before his portal closes "

" all right"

Fu Tong and Yanran entered the portal and the portal disappeared. Only Feng Yue and concubine Yi remained there.

" Let's Grand Concubine, I'll take you to your residence"

" No need, I can do it myself"

" I'll keep watch from a distance. This is the Empress's order, I can't just leave"

" Is that because of this sign?" Consort Yi thrust out her palm that had been imprinted with the mark of a leaf there.

Feng Yue nodded "yes"

Concubine Yi sighed. He understood now, it seemed like in the future he would also completely obey the Empress if he did not want to feel something like Fu Tong earlier. It felt so horrible and painful.

🧊 🧊 🧊

" Mister, this time I'm sure it's a demon"

" What are his traits like?"

" He has bright red hair, the rest he looks normal. It's just that sometimes there's a jewel on his forehead, and sometimes it's not."

Zhao frowned "are you sure, Zi Hu?"

" Of course Sir. The demon was even very often seen around the Empress's residence, even when I last saw her lying on top of the Empress's room"

BRAAKKKKKK!

Zhao hit his desk hard. He didn't want anything to happen to his wife. " Let's go there"

Zhao used his magic to quickly get there, before he had also told Eunuch Han and Huang Li through his telepathy that he was going to the Empress's residence.

Arriving Zhao with Zi Hu inside Xiao Shi's room they saw no one.

Zihu immediately peeked outside through the small gap in the window "Mister, the Empress's personal servant is also absent "

Zhao closed his eyes, trying to sense where Xiao shi was. He could feel it since their wing marks fused together, no matter what, wherever Xiao Shi was and with whom, Zhao could detect it.

" They're in a forest near here" Zhao murmured.

Zi Hu walked up to Zhao" Your Majesty, the demon is no longer there. Even the energy I can't detect"

Suddenly a light appeared, it was a portal. Zi Hu directly entered into the Zhao dimensional space. While Zhao directly used his magic and disguised himself so as not to be seen by others.

" The Empress...."
