Empress Oh
Traps.

"Oh Dae, the look in his eyes was like he had won from me!"

"How come, the lady-in-waiting died that way, and so did... It's impossible that if this was all his plan, how would he do it?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor wants His Majesty to meet him on the throne." said the lady-in-waiting No.

"Darang No!"

"Yes Your Majesty!"

"Did you hear that strange noise last night?"

"Absolutely not Your Majesty!"

"You how did the lady's corpse get in my room?" furious Concubine Na Ra.

"Aahhhh, after I have finished meeting His Majesty the Emperor, you must gather anyone who was guarding my residence last night!"

"Your Majesty!"

Consort Na Ra went to see Emperor Jung, this time she did not know what else her husband would talk about.

"Hamba Concubine is coming to Your Majesty!" he said to Emperor Jung, who is currently in the room.

"Consort, sit!"

Concubine Na Ra sat before Emperor Jung, a little worried from seeing Emperor Jung's serious face.

"Last night, what were you doing after seeing the Queen Mother!"

Last night Consort Na Ra had met the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother again called her to discuss the matter of pregnancy, there were no signs of anything that showed her pregnant. The Queen Mother again recommended medicine for her fertility, saying that she was the only person responsible for giving birth to the crown prince.

Hearing that Consort Na Ra's heart as slashed, during this one year of marriage she has also tried, but Heaven has not also brought happy news.

"Hamba took care of himself, drank the potion given by the Queen Mother and then fell asleep!" honestly speaking.

Well that's the case, the potion the Queen Mother gave her last night really made her sleepy.

"Did that lady meet you?"

"This time you must bring me satisfactory results! You want to see your family destroyed overnight? I can't be patient anymore, make her face look bad as ever, then you look for anything suspicious, a talisman or whatever, I don't want to know!"

"Yes Your Majesty Concubine!"

Concubine Na Ra recalled the piece of events before she actually fell asleep from drinking the fertilizing potion. Where the lady-in-waiting was, it was true to meet her, rather she was the one who asked to meet.

"No, Your Majesty!" answer lies.

"Really?"

"What?"

"Hemmm it's okay, as expected, my concubine can't possibly do such a disgusting thing!"

"Actually what would His Majesty mean to question the Servant Concubine with a question like this, His Majesty the Emperor... Not being suspicious of this Servant Concubine right?"

"Ekhm!" Emperor Jung coughed a little, then he looked at the red face of Consort Na Ra, despite being very polite, Emperor Jung knew there was anger embedded in the concubine's face. Concubine Na Ra wasn't good enough to hide it.

"There's news in this palace, your involvement in the ladyboy's murder?"

"Homicide? Didn't the lady die by suicide!"

"Hooahhh!"

Concubine Na Ra was really surprised, not only because she heard that the lady who was killed, but more surprised because why the killer made a drama hanging himself on the corpse, he said, and worse because it was found in his room, he is now a person who is so suspected.

"This concubine's servant really doesn't know anything that's going on..."

"Your Majesty, the head of the investigation is asking to meet!"

As Kasim's voice rang out, Emperor Jung immediately agreed to open the door.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Hemm! Sit down, is there anything you want to talk about?" ask Emperor Jung quickly. Concubine Na Ra was also there, she was so curious what news the head of this investigation would bring.

"This morning, as His Majesty the Emperor knew, there was a swelling in the esophagus of the lady-in-waiting, we tried to find out the cause, and we found this!" The Chief of Inquiry handed over a paper that had already turned red with blood.

"We found this paper clogging the oesophagus!"

Emperor Jung took the paper, the week he opened and how surprised he was when reading the paper.

His eyes looked at Consort Na Ra dead, yet he was still able to keep his servant as an Emperor.

"So... With this evidence, it is strongly suspected that the lady actually died from being killed!"

"Yes Your Majesty!"

"Is there any other evidence?"

"The clothes that the lady-in-waiting was wearing, on some of the fabrics had also changed color!"

"We made sure of something, and have also found the answer!"

"What?"

"Your Imperial Majesty, I beg you for permission to speak alone!"

Emperor Jung sighed, then he asked Consort Na Ra to leave his room.

...***...

"Look how tangled that face is!"

"Aaiishhh how could she be the Emperor's concubine with such an ugly face?"

Rymi muttered as she saw Consort Na Ra come out of Emperor Jung's room.

He had planned to meet Emperor Jung, providing some useful information to further launch his play, but it seemed that it was not necessary when he also saw the arrival of the Chief of Inquiry.

"It turns out that this kind of investigation in the ancient world was faster than I thought! Good, at least they work really well!"

Rymi returns to his residence, the thing he currently continues to think about is his economic situation that is starting to bleak. How can he fix that.

I want to sell medicine, but... Can the business grow rapidly and make it rich in an instant. It didn't feel like, after all, such a business required her to open a shop, Rymi shook her head slowly.

"Asshhhh, it seems to be true, money and life are two things that are equally important! Look, I feel like I'd die if I didn't have this kind of money!" mumbling grumbling.

Seriate...
