My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 4

The day passed so quickly, it did not feel like the morning had greeted. I who was still wrapped in my thick blanket then poked with a soft clap in my arm that managed to make me grumble because I was annoyed with someone who disturbed my sleep.

"Stop disturbing my sleep!" my grumbling is upset

"Tks, if I don't wake you, Daddy will increase our punishment!" said crown prince Liang who was the mastermind of the disturbance that disturbed my sleep.

I who was still half conscious on the contest immediately woke up and occupied myself when the words 'Ayahanda' and 'Punishment' forcibly withdrew my consciousness. With the consciousness that has not fully recovered, I also turned my head and left to make sure that this time is really morning. After making sure of the situation, I then turned my head and looked at my brother who still looked sleepy.

"Liang Gege (brother Liang) what are you doing here?" much

"Did you forget? Ayahanda gave us the punishment of copying the government rule book" he asked that I reply to the ring.

"I do not forget, Father gave us the punishment of copying the royal rule book by hand as well.- my eyes widened when I realized one thing-imperious! Liang Gege, let's get to Daddy's office right now" I said anxiously.

I descended from the contest, pulled Crown Prince Liang forcibly and dragged him to the courtyard of my Shan pavilions. The 20-year-old had been trying to hold me back since then, and his efforts bore fruit as I bounced towards him and crashed into his body.

"Liang Gege what are you doing, let's leave immediately, Father will increase our punishment later!" I said.

"I know you're afraid of extra punishment, but at least look at your performance now!" firmly crown prince Liang who makes me frown but still obey his orders.

I looked down at my appearance, immediately my eyes widened in surprise and unconsciously I squealed at my appearance which was now the center of attention of the residents of the western palace in my residence.

"YAKKKK..!! WHY DIDN'T GEGE TELL ME BEFORE!!!" I shouted and then ran back to the pavilium Shan leaving crown prince Liang in my courtyard alone.

"Why am I the one you blame, didn't you pull me out first without changing your clothes first?" muttered crown prince Liang who now shook his head and did not get out of thought with the way of his sister's mind.

I looked at the annoyed crown prince Liang who had been struggling to copy the royal rule book, we were now in the Han palace, precisely in the work room of the Emperor Wei's father while serving his sentence.

We know that if we are wrong, however, our actions are very rash and careless. Although I knew that crown prince Liang would not be able to come out of the palace with me alone, because I knew that his Shi Rong warriors were also following us in the dark, in the crowd of many people and most importantly of all, they were scattered.

Unfortunately the emperor's father did not know that. All of Shi Rong's soldiers were special soldiers belonging to crown prince Liang, they were all recruited and trained directly by him. Moreover, the recruitment of special and personal soldiers for him without the knowledge of the emperor's father. If I recall the dark memories that will occur in the future, the reason crown prince Liang recruited and had a very loyal soldier on his side was rather than memapah and train Zhang's royal warriors, he said, that was because from the beginning the crown prince Liang had known if the Zhang royal warrior had an intruder and also a traitor.

Therefore crown prince Liang has made careful preparations, but since I am the weakness of Zhang's kingdom, he would rather succumb to his death. Knowing the end of crown prince Liang was because it was all my fault, the guilt, pain and tightness instantly managed to make my vision blur because my tears began to reminisce in the pelupuk.

It turned out that my current behavior was being observed by crown prince Liang through the tail of his eyes, the handsome young man at the age of 20 then stopped copying the royal rule book and sighed harshly.

"May mei.. What are you doing? Quickly continue your writing, do not be lazy - lazy. The longer you delay and carry out your punishment, the longer I can get out of the punishment trap and look for the young man you want to make your bodyguard" crown Prince Liang's order that managed to make me then immediately lowered my head and continued my writing.

"I only rested for a little while, after all my eyes to the dust" I was in the middle copying me

"Whatever you want to say, I'm just reminding. Copying the royal rule book will take a long time. We copy not just dozens of sheets, but hundreds. Are you sure you can finish hundreds of pieces in a day? copyist only (someone who works in printing/paper seller who sells his services in printing, writing or imitating someone's writing) takes a week in working on it, even in one book it takes 3 copyists," crown Prince Liang pauses "we are only two may may, while each of us must copy two books. One week is not enough to copy all this, we need 3 weeks or maybe 1 month" crown prince Liang advised.

"If you have time to spend on this punishment that long, when will you find that young man? Are you going to look for it when the young man you're going to make your personal bodyguard into is taken by someone else?" his question made me realize immediately.

Bo Qing was a talented young man, there were many people who wanted to take him underlings. Although I know that Bo Qing is a difficult young man to tame, but there is a time when his self-esteem that he upholds will decline when he is in a period of difficulty facing the economy and its needs. Maybe someday he will be tempted by a big offer from someone who will guarantee his life. Although I was born with luck, power, throne, and wealth, to Bo Qing who upheld the principle of loyalty, if he had chosen to hang on to the one who took it first, he said, then all I have will be nothing in his eyes.

'Huwaaa. I must not lose my talent like that' my roar in my heart.

Without delaying any longer, I began to seriously struggle with copying the royal rule book, probably due to being too focused and forcing myself to at least every sheet I reduced to each other little by little, perhaps, I didn't realize it was getting dark, the maids and maids started to light the lights in Ayahanda's office.

All the admonition of crown prince Liang to tell me to rest for a moment I considered the wind then, so that at once I felt my feet tingling and made my writing produce a big scratch on the page I just copied. Seeing that then managed to make me stare, though, the pain I felt from my legs as if - it would be unable to restore my life that was immediately drifting to see the results of my efforts ended in vain - was in vain only because of a large coreta that stained my writing.

"I told you, rest is necessary. Don't force yourself. Look, because of your carelessness, you have to repeat from the beginning again" said crown prince Liang who managed to make me roar

"Huwaaa. I don't want to repeat!"
