KIKIYO
ask for justice

Emi could only pat her forehead.

"Silver, the persimmon is absent, the stock is exhausted."

Miciko's face turned very moody, wanting to eat persimmon fruit alone was very difficult.

Emi who saw miciko's face turned sad even felt unbearable.

"What if I asked the kitchen at the other house, maybe they had it.

Now that emi had said that, miciko immediately had a bright face with drool willing to come out of her mouth and she could only nod her head in agreement.

Emi rushes away leaving miciko to tour the palace in search of the persimmon fruit that miciko so desperately wants.

After a long tour, he found only one fruit in the palace kitchen belonging to the queen mother, emi with her sweet smile walked while holding tightly the fruit, the fruit, until emi cross paths with kikiyo and also Hugo who cross the path traversed by emi.

From far away emi has stood up straight while bowing respectfully, when kikiyo will pass through, but kikiyo stops right in front of her, she is very curious, why when she saw emi was very happy because of the persimmon fruit.

"Emi's."

"Yes, your highness the empress,."

"That's not the persimmon?." said kikiyo while pointing towards the fruit that was being held by emi.

"Your noble consort is right, this is a persimmon fruit."

"For what the persimmon is, I saw that you were very happy when you took it away, even you held it very tightly."

Hugo who heard the words from kikiyo's words felt very surprised, he only realized that kikiyo was very attentive to the smallest thing like that, his master was so thorough.

"Yes, your majesty, this is fruit for brother miciko, he really wants to eat persimmon, he does not want to eat other foods, he said that he will vomit, so noble."

Hugo who heard the words from the mouth of emi was immediately confused face, why his wife did not want to eat and every meal he would vomit.

Unlike the kikiyo, he immediately asked to be escorted kemiciko now, emi happily drove the empress.

When they arrived at Miciko's place,

Kikiyo looked at the sitting miciko with a pale face.

Miciko who was surprised to see Hugo's husband walked along with kikiyo who was heading towards him.

Miciko was preparing to stand up but was immediately restrained by kikiyo with a movement of her hand.

Miciko who saw it immediately did not so to stand up and sit back.

"Greetings noble consort."

Kikiyo sat next to him, then immediately took miciko's wrist to check, after which kikiyo smiled happily while turning her eyes towards Hugo.

"You'll have a child, Hugo."

Hugo who heard the words from kikiyo was just silent, he was like he could not think, miciko who saw it thought that Hugo did not want this news.

Miciko became moody, though,

Kikiyo who saw this scene, she immediately elbowed Hugo, who immediately regained his senses and rushed over to miciko.

Hugged it tightly.

"My wife, you're pregnant and here's little Hugo." said Hugo in a happy tone while holding miciko's stomach.

"Yes, husband, if it weren't for the lady who said, I would never know."

"I'm a stupid husband, I don't know how you are like this, I'm sorry, baby,." Said Hugo while peeping miciko's forehead.

"Don't offend yourself, are you happy husband."

"Of course."

Kikiyo who felt like a mosquito now wanted to rush back to Yamato's workplace.

Hugo who saw it immediately wanted to follow kikiyo,

"Where are you going?" said kikiyo as she turned her body to look at hugo.

"I'll follow the madam."

"But miciko just needs a break so I want to accompany the madam, I also think about the thing that the madam said earlier."

"Hem, miciko are you okay."

Miciko just showed her thumb while eating the persimmon fruit given by emi.

Kikiyo again walked with Hugo behind her and several maids, upon their arrival at the door of the emperor's study, a eunuch approached.

"Greetings noble consort, the emperor is not in his office, the emperor is coming to the guests of the minister of literature of the middle empire, they are in the meeting hall now, your majesty."

Kikiyo simply nodded her head in understanding as she hurried away towards the meeting hall room.

Upon their arrival he begins a meeting.

"The noble empress of the middle empire has arrived." said the eunuch in a loud voice

Yamato and the others also looked towards kikiyo.

After arriving in front of the Emperor, Kikiyo saluted him and set her eyes on the minister, then looked back at her husband to ask for an explanation.

"My wife, come here."

Yamato asked kikiyo to come closer because Yamato was holding a paper scroll that had been next to the body of the minister's son.

While the minister is currently prostrating and pleading, he is asking for justice for the son.

Kikiyo stared at the scroll paper with a cynical look.

"Hugo." she said in an angry tone

"Yes, your honor."

"Go to the family residence of the middle imperial literature minister, look for all the evidence there, bring everyone who can help you, lest anyone be missed."

"Okay, your honor."

The minister who was prostrating immediately got up from his seat.

"Your majesty, what noble has known who did this."

"Have you listened to the emperor's edict that had to tighten the guard at each other's quarters?."

Even the middle imperial literature minister just bowed his head again, he knew that emperor Yamato asked his subordinates to tighten the guard in their respective private residences.

But he didn't take the word, so now it's because of his indifference that's what made his family like this.

Kikiyo who saw the expression on the Minister's face could only resign, from his face he already knew that the Minister did not pay attention to the emperor's position.

Kikiyo asks Yamato to talk.

"Minister of middle imperial literature."

"Hamba, your honor."

"Go back to your home, look at my loyal guards for evidence and clues as to who did it."

"Okay, servant, thank you for the kindness of the Emperor and his consort."

Kikiyo just smiled understandably,

Shortly after the departure of Hugo and the middle imperial literature minister, kikiyo and Yamato were still talking, kikiyo told him about his feelings that were in turmoil.

Kikiyo also tells about miciko's pregnancy to Yamato.

"Darling, how about you get pregnant like miciko?" Yamato said

Kikiyo was stunned for a moment, she did not think that Yamato's response was to miciko who was pregnant instead of about the murder problem at the residence of one of her ministers.

Ais, what kind of emperor he is, if it is not a matter concerning the good name of the emperor, kikiyo does not care, why this event must occur and use the name of the emperor all.
