My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 16
"Was Mei Mei so hateful that accusing Xiao Qing would be a catastrophe for us in the future?" asked the crown prince Liang held back his emotions that wanted to explode because he did not accept the words of his sister by clenching his hands until the books turned white.
I sighed, the influence of eldest miss Ma was still that bad. Crown Prince Liang's feelings have not changed in the slightest about him, although many years have passed. I turned to look at crown prince Liang for a moment before throwing my gaze forward and saying "Gege could not believe me, I know that. He even said that seeing the future through dreams is a phenomenon that only spiritual experts have. But I experienced it, I saw all of us perish under his accomplices" I said
"If gege does not believe, then with this problem gege can find out. I'm sure that prime minister Ma was involved in embezzling funds to build a pier on the south coast. In order to avoid investigation and punishment, the eldest miss Ma will give the prime minister Ma solution to drop all the blame on one person. Maybe to one of the ministers who were also involved, or to other small officials in the government who also got some funds. -- I sighed for a moment and continued -- if this is really the case, then will Gege trust me?" I asked for something that crown prince Liang did not answer
"What if gege still does not believe, if this happens and ministers or officials who bear all the blame. I want the gege to go directly down with Shi Rong soldiers to witness the victory celebration that Ma Ze Dong's prime minister will do later" I added
Crown Prince Liang seemed to think for a moment, it seemed that he was weighing my considerations. I let out a heavy sigh, I know that to date crown prince Liang has not put his people in charge of Ma's residence. Maybe because the woman of his clan used to live there, or he believed it was with Ma Xiao Qing so he also believed that the family of the eldest daughter of the Ma family would not be involved in any crime.
Though he should be a prospective heir to the throne, he should not mix his work problems and feelings. Because it always doesn't end well. I looked at my brother for a moment, he had so long deceived everyone and himself by displaying a flat and cold face. But his heart was still that soft with the Ma family.
I know the crown prince is not a figure who would easily believe it. The proof is that he put his Shi Rong soldiers to monitor ministers and other officials in the government. Only the Ma family gets an exception and that doesn't describe it as incompetent, and discriminate? How will the Zhang kingdom be led by him if he seems to lean and side with one side.
I stared at the door of my room that was closed. My gaze never left to look at the wooden door with the intricate carving, even after hours passed.
My heavy breathing, my mind kept spinning about my brother's attitude. Crown Prince Liang has been gone for hours, but my thoughts about him continue to worry me about his attitude and nature. If it stays like this, what will Zhang's kingdom be? His heart was still filled with the eldest daughter of the Ma family, even though Ma Xiao Qing had married two years ago.
It might indeed be difficult for crown prince Liang to forget about it, however, her figure was so charming that it was difficult for crown prince Liang or the other young men who roared her to forget her even when she had changed status to wife and mistress at the Lao residence.
What am I just going to stand by and let my brother stay that way? But if I don't stop it, though, crown Prince Liang will feel guilt and remorse for his sins and deeds in the future if the Zhang royal family is destroyed in his hands if his attitude and nature towards the eldest daughter of the Ma family. He'll feel the same way I feel, and I do not want crown prince Liang to take the wrong path and feel the suffering and fear of the shadow - the terrible shadow that befell the entire Zhang royal family and his loyal servants.
I closed my eyes for a moment before getting up from the side of the contest, I then moved to the table in the middle of the room where there was a paper and brush along with the ink is always available. I dipped my brush in ink and started making scratches on the surface of the paper.
Right now all I can do is record all the events that will befall us in the future, after that I will just think about what plan so that I can save everyone from the map and misfortune.

The middle-aged man was the prime minister of Ma Ze Dong. The man with the wrinkled face was enraged when he looked at the imperious Emperor Wei on his throne this morning, his domineering anger made him forget the consequences of his actions embezzling most of the workers' wage rations.
Given the threat of the Wei emperor, immediately the anger of the minister Ma Ze Dong or commonly called the Dong minister who had reached his crown slowly disappeared. The shadow of Zhang's royal dungeon that was rumored to be extremely terrifying and ugly made the middle-aged man shudder in horror. He did not want to end up in that horrible place with his Ma family, then what should he do so that his rottenness was not smelled by the investigators or the Zhang royal court?
Prime Minister Dong sighed while kneeling his throbbing forehead. But the feeling of tiredness and fear that began to dominate slowly vanished as the soft voice that was so femiliar greeted his auditory senses, and with a flash of worry, a feeling of worry, and his fear vanished as he looked up and looked at one of the two beautiful women chatting while enjoying their afternoon tea.
As if getting answers from his worries and fears, prime minister Dong wasted no time approaching the two beautiful women who were in the gasebo next to the main building of the Ma residence. The presence of a young woman who is now with his wife seems to make prime minister Dong is getting a miracle and hope free from the problem of embezzlement funds that ensnare him.
"Ma Xiao Qing, why are you here?"
