Incarnated
New Empress

Flass Back in the banquet hall

Ying Zheng already knew that the woman was a murderer because they had met once in the Eastern Jin kingdom, when he saw the woman kill one of his ministers, Ying Zheng chased after her and managed to see the woman's face, but it seemed that the woman had forgotten and as she approached Ying Zheng only remembered that they had met.

The woman was an assassin sent by someone, she was teasing the person into forgetting herself so that she would easily plan her actions, Ying Zheng had already guessed that the woman had come to kill Zhang Han, she said, and it seemed that the woman knew that Ying Zheng was infatuated with Jiang Huan and she offered to work together so that the job would be easier.

As the banquet ended, Ying Zheng intentionally lingered at the banquet until everyone left, Zhang Han noticed Ying Zheng drinking tea, he then approached Ying Zheng.

" You want to sleep here?"ask Zhang Han. Ying Zheng smiled then stood up, he then walked over and stopped right beside Zhang Han.

" I hope your cold poison has healed so that you are ready to attack you later tonight." whispered Ying Zheng in Zhang Han's ear, Ying Zheng guessed that the woman would react later that night.

Zhang Han raised his eyebrows looking at Ying Zheng, he then turned to Ying Zheng.

" Are you trying to save me?"

" I just don't want you to die young."

" sometimes I don't understand, you're crazy about Jiang Huan, but why do you want to save me? wouldn't it be if I died you could have Jiang without having to duel with me."

" I'm an honorable man, I wouldn't have used cunning means to achieve my goals, if I had wanted to do it before but I didn't, why would I wait this long if I used sneaky means, but I would get by competing healthily." Ying Zheng said then patted Zhang on the shoulder then left, Yuwen Xue and Ling Long did not hear their conversation as they spoke quietly which only the two of them could hear.

Flass.

Zhang Han recalled, he then sighed heavily, finished the treatment he immediately rested. In the morning they all gathered in the arena to watch the match Ming Hui and Jiang Huan. The first half was brewing tea, the second half pitted intelligence and the third round fought using swords.

The first half started with tea brewing, Jiang could make it with the memories he had, all the royal guests would be judges of that match. Concubine Ming Hui smiled because all over the country he had never lost in tea brewing and Jiang intended to destroy Ming Hui's confidence.

The two teas were ready and immediately served to the guests, they tried the tea of the famous concubine Ming Hui after which they felt that the tea belonged to Jiang, they had already obtained the winner.

" The winner of this round is concubine Ming Hui." shouted Zhang Han, Jiang sighed, it was not easy to destroy the confidence of people with such abilities.The second half began, pitting intelligence, pitting, the kings asked questions and they both answered.

Ming Hui gaped at the sight of all the questions answered by Jiang without giving a chance to let Ming Hui answer him, everyone acknowledged the intelligence Jiang possessed, he answered all perfectly.so the second half won Jiang, Jiang won, the third round will determine the winner later.

The third round was the one everyone was waiting for the most because they were curious as to who was the strongest, Jiang Huan was famous for not being able to fight, perhaps he would not be able to raise a sword because he was weak. when the two people were already standing in the middle of the arena, everyone watched.

Jiang turned to Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang smiled at him, He clenched his hands, as the match began, Jiang Directly pulled the sword from its sheath then ran to attack Ming Hui, Ming Hui welcomed Jiang's attack, Jiang's attack was not the case, he could see that Ming Hui was not very strong.

Ming Hui retreated when he received Jiang's attack, everyone thought that maybe Jiang whom they had considered weak would win the match because it looked like Ming Hui would lose, but all were surprised to see Ming Hui dominate the match, until he lost and suffered injuries to his arms, compared to Ming Hui there were many incisions on his body.

Ying Zheng was speechless staring at the fight, Zhang Han was no less astonished, he was sure Jiang won because it was obvious Ming Hui was weak, after seeing all that Ming Hui smiled happily, he was sure Jiang won, Jiang saw that Lu Xiang was no longer on the stage and Jiang did not see concubine Bai Qian.

Jiang left the arena and returned to his residence, Zhang Han announced about the new queen, Ming Hui, after which the appointment of the queen was immediately carried out. Looking displeased on Zhang Han's face, Ying Zheng had also left, he was chasing after Jiang Huan.

" Jiang." called Ying Zheng, Jiang turned his head then stopped.

" What's up?"

" Are you okay?"

" Why?"

" It's obvious you gave up earlier, don't you want the empress position anymore?" ying Zheng asked, they chatted as they walked towards the Jiang residence. Jiang was speechless not answering Ying Zheng's question, Jiang's face lethargicly staring at Jiang

" If you feel miserable with Zhang Han, I promise I'll take you away from him and he won't be able to find you anywhere."

" It's not like that." Jiang shook his head, he smiled at Ying Zheng's words.

" then?"

" I just feel tired of everything that's happened, it feels..." Jiang did not continue his words, he only took a heavy breath.

" What's up? you can tell me, did anyone hurt you?"

" Ying Zheng, I want to rest so it's better that you rejoin the other guests, otherwise you will be insinuated by them again later."

" I don't care about them, I'm just worried about you."

" I'm fine Ying Zheng."

" Are you sure?" Jiang nodded, Ying Zheng reluctantly left Jiang, he returned together to see the new queen's appointment, Zhang Han turned to Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng threw his face at Zhang Han.

After that event, tomorrow the day that the guests were going home, tonight actually Zhang Han wanted to meet Jiang to ask why Jiang was relented, but he remembered the murderous woman so he immediately went to prison to interrogate the woman.

Lu Xiang kept his promise, he gave the antidote to Lian and Yuan, Jiang intends tonight to sneak in Bai Qian's household to find out something he might know about Bai Qian.

Zhang Han went to see the woman accompanied by Wei Chan and Lan Huan, the woman was already dressed because Wei Chan had given her clothes. Zhang Han entered the prison while Wei Chan and Lan Huan stood guard outside the prison.

" I've heard of you, you're nicknamed the seductress, am I right?" The woman looked at Zhang Han, she then threw away her face and did not answer Zhang Han's question.

" It turns out that you chose to shut up, but I already knew who was the mastermind of all this." the woman immediately turned to Zhang Han.

" Why then would you interrogate me here if you knew about it?" the woman said angry.

" I want you to betray him?"

" Just dream about you."

" In that case, let's work together, I can give you what you want." the woman seemed to think.

" I can't betray him, so it's useless for you to say anything to me."

" Let me hear you killed a minister from Eastern Jin, is that his plan, too?"

" That minister wanted to harass me, of course I killed him out of anger." the answer, Zhang Han understood.

" I can get you out of this prison but I want you to do something for me."

" I'd rather die."

" Alright, after all I've got the answer, your wish to die will be fulfilled tomorrow." Zhang Han then exited the Prison, Zhang Han had expected the woman to betray but it seemed like he was trained to be loyal to death.

Zhang Han already knew who the mastermind who sent the woman to him, he also knew everything that happened in the palace and of course the traitors in the palace were known to him, it was just that Zhang Han waited for the right moment to snatch them up at once without remaining.

He still had not found out who was the most powerful to rule them move, Jiang Fengs death actually made Zhang Han shocked as he did not know what his relationship with Jiang Feng was, but rather, Jiang Feng's death, and a loud slap for Zhang Han for losing one of his best generals.
