My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 14

I knew if crown prince Liang would be very upset with me, I knew after this he would inhabit me even though the emperor's father would tell everything through their meeting this morning. I was wrong to prank him, but I couldn't tell him even more that I had promised the emperor's father.

It's fine if crown prince Liang is still silent to me even if a lot of time has passed. Isn't that how I can devise a plan and strategy so that the catastrophe does not come back to us. I may not be able to make everyone avoid and survive the misfortune, even though I am blessed with terrible memories of the future or my past life. I was still a weak young girl, just because the circumstances and events that would befall us forced me to mature and become a person who had to think quickly and precisely. I will try my best to save everyone, but if it doesn't go my way in the end, at least I've tried my best.

I frowned at my throbbing forehead, other than the matter of crown prince Liang leaving me a few minutes ago with annoyance, as well as the matter of the plan and strategy of the resistance I was about to create. The thing that made my concentration break was because the shadow of Bo Qing's figure filled my head. The young man I wanted to make the bodyguard to still keep on filling my mind, and all the preconceived notions about rejecting my offer asking him to be my personal bodyguard kept turning around until I felt dizzy.

At first I thought I would get it easily. Now I regret the words of my wise sage who said he wouldn't force it. I closed my eyes for a moment followed by a tired breath coming out of my mouth.

Earlier I thought about making plans and strategies when Bo Qing had been by my side. It seems that I must immediately devise a scheme to try my best to save everyone, as well as a scheme of revenge that they cannot forget moreover my enemy is not only the young general Wu Cheng who betrayed me, it wasn't just Mei Rong who stabbed me in the back and took General Wu Cheng away from me, nor was it the prime minister Ma Ze Dong and the prime minister Wu Ge Ming who dropped me at the bottom and put me on the brink of despair.

The enemy I must face is the eldest daughter of Dong's prime minister, Ma Xiao Qing. The snake-like beautiful woman was the one who gave instructions to them how to devise plans and strategies to overthrow the royal family. The devil-hearted woman wanted to take them down and make them suffer so much just because the empress' mother and I refused her to be the candidate of the crown princess who would be paired with the crown prince Liang first.

The heartache he felt made him show his rotten and evil side, he took revenge by making us all die to die in the hands of the dolls - the dolls he moved behind the scenes. But in this life, I won't let him win a second time. I will make him repay his deeds, for the debt of blood must be avenged, and the debt of life must be paid with life. I won't make them die so easily, I want to make them feel alive but want to die.

Tuk tuk tuk!

The sound of a knock jolted me from the daydream, slowly raising my eyelids and revealing both my clear-eyed balls. I turned to look at the door, not long after how long a lady-in-waiting entered my contest and walked over.

"Honorat Iwa to the princess" his greeting did not forget to sing and then rise with a little body in the bow.

"What's wrong?" ask me on that day

"Answer to your majesty, there is a young man who seeks the noble outside" he replied

"What is the name of the young man?" ask me patiently

"Your highness princess, the young man's name is Bo Qing" replied the lady who managed to make a look on my face startled for a moment before turning into a delighted look "The young man said he has accepted your offer" add the lady that made me move from the contest with enthusiasm and step towards the closed room door.

When both of my hands were holding the door algae, I suddenly remembered that the current crown prince Liang was angry with me. Then how am I supposed to persuade him to get Bo Qing to enter and get military training from the special soldier Shi Rong in his shelter?

'Zhang Mu Lan, you are so careless!'

"Has the report you gave been manipulated before? Since yesterday you said that the dock construction project went well without obstacles. In fact, the project has been completed for months, but the construction workers and manual laborers have not been paid. Is this how you work?" Ask emperor Wei

"Your highness, please calm yourself" said the prime minister of Dong from the Ma family who finally spoke up after a long silence.

"Do you think this problem is a small thing? You forget that your existence here is due to your desire to serve and prosper the people of Zhang's kingdom, not to drown the money that should belong to the people to enrich yourself," pause the Wei emperor gnawed his forehead "If no one claims to have lost the funds for this project, Zhen will investigate it himself to the roots. If one or more of you are involved, don't blame Zhen for taking you and your family into the dungeon of Zhang's kingdom" the emperor added coldly.

Hearing the punishment they were about to get, instantly some officials trembled with paled faces. Unable to stand the pressure in the atmosphere of the threat of the Wei emperor, they then glanced at the prime minister Ma Ze Dong and the prime minister Wu Ge Ming who seemed relaxed and unaffected. Though the punishment that the Wei emperor gave was quite large, they could have come out by living in a dungeon or come out with a corpse that had been stiffened.

It should be from the beginning that those involved should not be entangled in the whispers and seductions of the two prime ministers, just because they want to enrich themselves, he said, they forget that their opponent is the emperor of the Zhang kingdom which in the eyes of the public is a generous emperor, but in their eyes the officials who have served for a long time are cold-blooded ruthless demon figures.

In addition to his ability to process government and courts, his intelligence in managing strategy and plans, his skill in fighting with various combat tools, he also has strong reasoning and instinct. No matter how much they hide their wickedness and rottenness, as time goes on, the evil will be discovered and their rottenness will soon be sniffed. If all their crimes were proven, their lives would probably be lost.
