My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 42

Ma Mei Rong had just made it out of Ma's residence after confirming that her father, prime minister Ma Ze Dong had left with her mother, Cai Ning to resolve the matter of his presumptuous attitude towards Zhang Mu Lan's daughter. The departure of the two masters was of course not only the two of them, they also left together with his brother Ma Xiao Qing and scholar Lao Yu Zhu who were waiting for them at the entrance gate of the palace.

The departure of her parents clearly made it easier for Ma Mei Rong to sneak out of her Ma family residence. The servants and guards would lower their guard when his parents left so that they were all caught off guard and unaware of his disappearance.

Tonight Ma Mei Rong had made an appointment with the young general Wu Cheng the last time they met, if Ma Mei Rong had not mistakenly remembered, their last encounter as he hits the woman who seduces his lover and after that he again ends up on the top of the contest with young general Wu Cheng. Before they parted the next day, they promised to meet today, and fortunately the sky sided with him because he would take advantage of their meeting by asking the young general Wu Cheng to persuade Zhang Mu Lan's daughter to persuade his highness the emperor and his highness the empress so that Ma Mei Rong's problems yesterday did not continue and get bigger.

Zhang Mu Lan's daughter would clearly hear the words of young general Wu Cheng, considering that the one-year-old girl below her liked her lover. Thinking about it made Ma Mei Rong growl inwardly, if only Zhang Mu Lan's daughter hadn't played with him, she wouldn't have told her lover to persuade the girl. But what can I do? he did not want to leave the Ma family before he destroyed Ma Xiao Qing and his father.

There was no need to ask why he was so cruel and cold towards his family, all because of the incident this morning where Ma Xiao Qing let out all her hatred and anger, as well as her father who was intending to cut off blood with her. Everything that Ma Xiao Qing and her father said infuriated Ma Mei Rong, she was obviously fed up and would never want to breathe the same air as them.

The sound of the crowd greeted Ma Mei Rong's auditory senses, as Ma Mei Rong looked up and stared at the scene before him. The atmosphere of the residents of the royal capital Zhang greeted Ma Mei Rong's sense of sight, the activities of the residents who seemed to never stop even when night had greeted him. Ma Mei Rong blinked, it seemed that he was too drawn out - dissolving in his mind that he had unknowingly taken his footsteps on the highway and the center of the royal capital Zhang.

Ma Mei Rong lowered the headscarf she was wearing to disguise her face, at this time he should not be caught by anyone if he sneaks out of Ma's residence however his father has given him the punishment of not coming out of Ma's residence for a month. In addition, he is currently hotly discussed by the residents of the royal capital Zhang because of the problems he made. It will be hotter rumors and rumors circulating if he is found out, he said, in addition, the royal family will feel suspicious if the apology and resolution of the problems made by the Ma family is actually not sincere or it can be said that they are playing tricks on the royal family until the relationship between the Zhang royal family and the Ma family is growing.

Ma Mei Rong stepped hastily through the people who were still passing by on the path of the capital of Zhang kingdom, the capital of Zhang, no doubt because they want to immediately get away from the residents of the royal capital Zhang who are still doing their activities at night makes Ma Mei Rong accidentally hit people because they are too rushed - they want to rush immediately left the crowd and soon arrived at the restaurant he was going to.

The outburst of anger and mockery that was said from the people who were hit then made Ma Mei Rong many times have to bow and apologize, he even had to press both of his noses by pinning them with both fingers for his voice to change.

A few minutes after the incident, Ma Mei Rong was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, she had arrived at a luxurious restaurant that also provided lodging. Ma Mei Rong then entered and the servant who had known him very well then took him to the place that had been ordered by young general Wu Cheng.

As Ma Mei Rong headed to the room of young general Wu Cheng who was right next to and in front of the room that had been ordered by the crown prince Liang, next to the young general Wu Cheng's room, a 14-year-old girl was enjoying a meal ordered by crown prince Liang that filled the table.

"May may eat a lot, this restaurant is in addition to the expensive price, but the quality of food and service is worth the price" said the crown prince who managed to make me chop spicy beef and eat it.

As crown prince Liang said, the food they sold in this restaurant was very tasty. I who initially had no appetite then started eating because the food in front of me was very good.

"Eating a lot, thinking of a plan this big at your young age obviously requires a lot of energy" added crown prince Liang who I nod.

It was too cool to eat the food that was in front of me along with Gui Feng, instantly I choked in surprise when a black-clothed figure who had come from nowhere stood right in the middle between me and the crown prince Liang. Quickly Bo Qing who was standing right behind me took water for me, when Bo Qing thrust it, I immediately grabbed it and gulped it down the toilet.

"Excuse my noble servant princess" said Ah Ke who was a black-clothed man who managed to shock me.

"Are you always going to come like that?" ask me after my cough subsides.

"May may.you don't get angry, it's common for us, warrior Shi Rong to do something like this" crown prince Liang interceded and tried to assuage my anger.

"If so, you should start learning to get used to it from now on. Because crown prince Liang will also put some Shi Rong warriors for you" Gui Feng said

"Why should gege put his soldiers with me? I already have Bo Qing" I said

"You're sure Bo Qing can handle a bunch of people who want to denounce you someday?" ask crown prince Liang.

I knew it was of course impossible, only I knew the emperor's father would be impossible not to place his special royal warriors with me. The father who was known to be cruel, cold-blooded, generous and who loved me so much hid too many secrets. I know that at this time Father is gathering a lot of evidence, especially after I tell Father everything. And now the soldiers who protect and keep me behind the darkness will increase. It is not ungrateful with the care and affection of Ayahanda and crown prince Liang who put his people. It's just that I feel my movements will be more limited especially I will continue to suggest if there are many people who observe me if I do something. I let out a rough sigh of fatigue, it certainly stole the attention of the four young men still with me.

"May may. Why are you?" ask the crown prince Liang who managed to jolt me from the daydream.

I shook my head and said "i'm fine" I replied

When I found out that crown prince Liang wanted to ask again, I quickly cut him off by switching the phrase "Omong - by the way, why is Ah Ke here?" much

As soon as everyone in the same room with me realized, Ah Ke who forgot the purpose of his arrival apologized and said "the arrival of the servant here would like to report if young Ma Mei Rong has come, and the young lords of the nobles whom Gui Fei has invited will soon arrive" report Ah Ke who makes me smile on my side.

"The show is about to begin!"
