Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 22

Emperor Wei got up from his seat and kicked down his desk when Lie reported and also said the terms that crown prince Rui had for him to come back and return to MingQi's palace.

"Is crown prince Rui crazy? How could he ask Zhen to hand over the throne to prince Rong when he was the rightful successor!" Emperor Wei said

"'Your Majesty, calm yourself down" Lie said, warning that "Her Majesty the crown prince will make a plan on the day of the coronation. I hope it's good to give his highness crown prince Rui a chance to take down two or more people in one blow" Lie explained.

Emperor Wei dropped his body on his work chair, he let out a heavy sigh and stomped his throbbing head in pain. Emperor Wei did not believe his beloved son would pave the way to prince Rong and his supporters. Wouldn't that be too risky for him? Then why he wanted to take a risky step, even though he went home alone was enough to make Prince Rong and his supporters hampered to achieve their wishes and ambitions.

"Even though he's my son, Zhen obviously doesn't know his mind is this crazy"

In the manor of the Yan prince, the atmosphere in the Yan princely contest was very quiet and desolate as if there were no inhabitants inside. Though there was the owner of the room who seemed to be busy in his reading and also the eunuchs and maids who had just entered his contest while carrying out their duties.

Although his eyes were fixed on every sentence in his reading book, his ears never caught every movement that made a noise from all the activities of the eunuchs and maids who seemed to be busy preparing warm water for him to take a bath, also dinner that he will eat after bathing.

Amid the sound of movement and footsteps of the eunuchs and maids who seemed busy going back and forth. Prince Yan caught the sound of footsteps stepping closer and approaching him. There was no need for Prince Yan to turn his gaze away from the book he was reading, he already knew very well who the figure that approached him was now.

"Her Majesty the prince"

"Say!" Prince Yan's orders without waiting wetly eloquently went straight to the core of Tong's arrival who was nothing but sure wanted to report the problems that were occurring within the palace as long as he closed his eyes, ears, ears, and his mouth was to enjoy his life and world without any intention of intervening or dealing with governmental and political matters that the Yan prince thought was very boring.

"It was only now that Empress Lien and the vassals of prince Rong ended their meeting. According to the eyes - the eyes that infiltrated the meeting reported that Empress Lien began to urge, seduce and provoke the followers of her son to urge the emperor's highness to abdicate immediately" obviously Tong reported what their eyes were reporting.

"Ben Wang need not be surprised by your report" said prince Yan cuek "the Empress Lien will always act quickly, but rashly and recklessly at the same time. You think father will remain silent about this? I think now the father also drew up a plan when his eyes reported the meeting of Empress Lien and the supporters of prince Rong" added the prince.

Yoke!

Prince Yan closed the book he finished reading, his face displaying a smile that made Tong frown with a drastic change in the look of his lord's face.

"I think there's gonna be something interesting going on. Ben Wang should not be left behind to watch and watch the exciting show!" Said the prince Yan excitedly.

Tong who heard that was only able to gawk because he was so surprised by the words and thoughts of Prince Yan that were difficult to guess.

Actually, is that a fool or an idiot?

On the other hand, precisely at prince Rong's manor. It appeared that the 24-year-old young man who was still clad in the big clothes of a prince was staring intently at his personal bodyguard who had just given him a report about the meeting his mother held with his supporters.

At first prince Rong let his mother do everything as she pleased, but hearing that today his mother is back to pull out her fangs, prince Rong begins to feel disgusted and dislike for the actions that Empress Lien took.

Consort Lien was always at her disposal, even urging her supporters to ask the emperor to abdicate. Wasn't urging the Wei emperor a great risk to all of them? Emperor Wei was not a fool who could not decipher if their insistence was actually an 'Ruling'.

How could Empress Lien be so desperate to do that? Didn't he think the Wei emperor would be enraged. Moreover, his mother did not even question his readiness to become emperor if his mother's plan succeeded. Though at this time prince Rong still wanted to enjoy freedom, if he became emperor, then there was no longer a name for freedom for him to roam. All he did was take care of the government behind his desk and imagining it would soon approach and come to him, Prince Rong could not afford not to breathe heavily.

Prince Rong pinched his throbbing forehead, why couldn't his mother bear the item for a moment? Why does he always do things agitated - agile? It was not that Prince Rong did not want the throne and became an emperor, nor did he not support all of Empress Lien's actions for her to gain supreme power in MingQi. It was just that Prince Rong was afraid, with a plan made quickly and agitatedly without doing much consideration, it would obviously create a blemish and weakness for them. Although both his mother and himself had equally great ambitions, still Prince Rong was afraid that everything would fail and eventually lead them to destruction.

The clear sky and sun greeted the capital MingQi and the entire MingQi working domain. The residents of the MingQi capital as well as the MingQi royal residents of various factions and castes began to carry out their own activities.

The atmosphere of the capital as well as in the MingQi kingdom now seems to be alive with all activities. Apart from the atmosphere that looks alive accompanied by the sky and the sun that shines brightly. In the main hall of MingQi kingdom, the atmosphere was instead the opposite of what appeared outside.

A piercing cold to the bones, a sharp gaze from the eyes of an eagle that was able to shake the defenses, the aura of murder and cruelty is so intimidating that ministers and officials in the room are unable to breathe violently and freely.

After presenting their plea for the supreme power of the kingdom leading to the 'overthrowing' and the coup plot which since a few months ago the empress Lien and prince Rong did without obstacle to the crown prince Rui. Now Empress Lien is pushing her son's supporters towards the big waves ready to hit them at any moment.

Brought with pressure and the intimidating and murderous gaze of emperor Wei. The cold sweat was unceasingly coming out of the pores of their skin so nervous and frightened. Their heads are happy to look down as if the ceramic floor made of rare rocks and polished in such a way looks more attractive than what is presented in front of them.

After expressing their wishes, no one spoke up anymore. They were silent with all the slurs of the Wei emperor that seemed many times more frightening than usual.

Naturally, the Wei emperor behaved in this manner. Moments like this the Wei emperor was very sensitive about the issue of the imperial throne. His beloved son was never found, and now they were pushing the tide and adding waves that clearly made the Wei emperor very angry.

Emperor Wei left the main hall with a dead red face and a hardened jaw. Lie, the right-hand man and advisor to the emperor, took over the routine morning meetings and meetings.

"You may disband, in the future this advisor advises not to discuss the issue of the imperial throne in the future. At the moment the noble mood is not good" Lie said "of course my advice is not only an advice, but also a warning. Never burn fire and add oil if you do not want to burn. You know, although the noble age is no longer young, yet the soul of cruelty is still there" lie continued, which made ministers and officials shiver with fear when remembering the heyday and cruelty of an emperor of Wei.

Can't they turn back and turn back where they don't have to find support? Right now, even though it was only a few lines from Lie, they were beginning to tremble in fear.

"Your highness, are you sure you don't want to give your highness the crown prince a chance?" Lie asked behind the Wei emperor after successfully pursuing his master who was now stepping in the corridor towards his contest.

"Hamba thinks that his highness crown prince Rui has a plan behind the request and the requirements that he submits" Lie added trying to persuade his lord.

Emperor Wei stopped his steps. With reflexes, Lie also stopped his steps to not hit the lord who holds the highest power both outside and inside the palace.

Emperor Wei turned around and displayed a serious look on his face "Zhen doing this does not mean not giving Rui a chance!" Emperor of Wei

"Even if the request and requirements submitted are very risky and unnatural. Zhen had to believe what crown prince Rui was planning, as he was Zhen's son. The flesh blood of Zhen. Despite his crazy ideas, Zhen had to admit he was Zhen's favorite son and the late first empress" emperor Wei paused "but it wasn't that easy for Zhen to accept their request. It would be very striking and unexpected if Zhen arrived - suddenly accepted their request especially whatever the reason Zhen -- emperor Wei sighed -- they were not fools. They are very smart and talented in some ways, it would obviously be very suspicious if Zhen agreed to their wishes despite their great desire to achieve their ambitions" emperor Wei explained the reason for his actions and behavior today.

"For now, let Zhen do this charade!"

On the other hand, precisely in a large residence in front of the gate of the residence hung a gold carved board with the inscription Li family.

In a pavilium in the residence there appears a middle-aged man still with office clothes attached and wrapped his body was driving a healer and also a masseur out of the pavilium after them treating Li Ming An.

Yesterday, the daughter of the Li family residence came home with a groan of pain. His clothes looked dirty and there were also some torn parts. His appearance was very chaotic especially there were some leaves from fresh vegetables, straw, and wood fractures that stuck and were concerned in Ming An's clothes and also his hair.

Li Jung Shi, who was in government office at the time, had no idea what his daughter was doing outside of his control. Because he was too busy with work, government affairs and also participated in seeking protection, support and assistance by participating in becoming one of the supporters of Prince Rong for the sake of a higher position later.

But who would have thought, when he came home, he got word from the butler that his daughter was making big trouble that would hinder his career. Li's official stomped his temple, his head as if hit by an invisible big hammer. It also hurts dizzy at the same time that he feels. The middle-aged man even closed his eyes when the dizziness, and also the constant throbbing and stopping managed to make him grimace at the problems his family would face because of his daughter's actions.

Li officials should not spoil his daughter who even at the age of 19 years has not been married or engaged. That is because his daughter always eats a lot when her body weight is very easy to rise.

Li's official sighed heavily "among the many young misses, why should he create trouble with the young miss from Feng's military family?"
