My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 70

Whether it was just my feelings, crown prince Xin seemed to keep looking at me and looked at me with a deep gaze. Whether I was judging or observing, what I know at this time I still feel uncomfortable but curious at the same time even though it had passed 3 days ago.

The thing I'm worried about isn't there, though, the important thing that Emperor Wei's father meant 3 days ago was a lunch with the Han royal family who would travel back to their kingdom with the entourage. Although I assume that it is very excessive because the Emperor's father said it is important, it is, but somehow I feel like there's something else behind that lunch together that they might be hiding from me.

It had already been 3 days since that day, it was likely that the crown prince Han Zi Xin, and the Han Ze Min prince and the Han royal entourage would soon arrive at their palace. Even though 3 days had passed, my instincts were still strong, my curiosity was still the same. I kept guessing that there would be good things the emperor's father, the empress' mother and the crown prince Liang hid from me, and my premonition said if it had anything to do with crown prince Xin or prince Min.

The sound of a call that was so femiliar the last few months greeted my hearing, I then woke up from my daydream when I knew the figure who called me. I looked up and looked at a young man my brother's age, his face was quite handsome, his jaw line was firm, his skin was getting a little brownish from too much practice under the sun, he said, his body seemed to be starting to take shape with muscles that were slowly starting to bulge, and the young man was my personal bodyguard, Bo Qing, the young man who had always been the center of attention of the maids and servants who liked and admired Bo Qing without the young man noticing.

"Sister Bo Qing, you're home" I said I was trying to control myself because I was afraid that a personal bodyguard that even I thought of as my own brother caught me just thinking about what happened the other day that still made me restless.

"Did big brother Bo Qing find something?" ask him

Bo Qing nodded before replying "This bodyguard found out the strange movement that the young mistress of the Wu family made, after the servant investigated, it seems that Ma Mei Rong is finally looking for supporters without the knowledge of young general Wu Cheng who for 4 days in a row brought a young girl to warm up her contest," bo Qing's pause cleared his throat for a moment of embarrassment explaining that intimate smelling thing.

"Hamba continues to follow Ma Mei Rong and eventually learns that he often visits brothels while looking for a target of striped men that he can use. And last night he ensnared the son of Di (legitimate son of the first wife or furen) of the Dong family, Dong Jui" Bo Qing added slightly to my surprise but quickly I shook my head and said, "Was he so desperate that he threw himself in a crocodile cage?" ask me with a slick tone.

"Ma Mei Rong, you're trying to get out of the lion's den, and now you're putting yourself in the crocodile enclosure. I know you're so poor and suffering that you're desperate and taking yourself to Dong Jui. Is he now a fool just because of the suffering young general Wu Cheng has given him in succession?" ask me again "Everyone knows who Dong Jui is, he is a young man who has a manic disease in sex. All of his innumerable concubines had died and now Ma Mei Rong wanted to become one of them, I can't believe that he has gone mad even though the power of the Dong family can help him avenge the Wu family" I added, which finally made Bo Qing understand.

"Bo Qing's brother, I don't think you need to spy on Ma Mei Rong anymore" I said, "You don't have to waste your time staking out the figure who dug his own grave. I think Bo Qing's brother will only need to scout and watch over the Ma family, because soon we will hear and see how Ma Mei Rong and the Wu family will end up"

The day soon rose in the evening, the atmosphere of the capital of the Han kingdom still seemed crowded with the activities of the residents. The sound of the crowd was so domineering and lively, but all the activities they did momentarily came to a halt when the sound of gongs and drums being hit with a hammer and managed to create a loud sound. The loud and loud voice managed to make the residents of the capital of the Han kingdom then scattered to the side of the road and began to prostrate, the sound of gongs and drums being hit will always signal that the Han royal family will pass through the capital's highway.

They had just realized that today the entourage of crown prince Xin and prince Min were going home after attending the birthday celebration of empress Yin Yin of Zhang's kingdom. The past few days they had also heard rumors regarding the beauty and talent that Zhang Mu Lan's daughter had shown at the celebration party, many of them did not believe the rumors because they knew how ugly the rumors and behavior of Zhang Mu Lan's daughter used to be. But when the representatives of the Han kingdom had returned, they would gradually learn the truth from those who had the opportunity to attend.

The entourage of crown prince Xin and prince Min had passed, already, the sound of gongs and drums slowly shrank in place of the mincing sound of coins - coins thrown by the royal family as gratitude for their safe return, the residents quickly picked it up as the entourage of crown prince Xin and prince Min had drifted away and disappeared behind the palace gate.

"Finally we arrived, I think my back almost broke!" moaning prince Min who just got off his horse and did the stretching.

"All of you may disperse and rest, let the eunuchs, the ladies and the servants who take care of the rest" crown prince Xin ordered the retinue that had gone with him for several days to do a long march.

Everyone then let out a sigh of relief, they finally went home and were able to sleep soundly. After a long trip without a good sleep because it is always in the flag to worry if - if they are attacked, if they are attacked, but luckily, their journey remained smooth and unhindered, and the YongLe soldiers overcame it without their knowledge.

"Before you guys disperse, there's still one thing I'll say" crown prince Xin jolted them from the daydream "Come to the palace tomorrow to take the compensation ration during your trip and also leave for 2 working days" added crown prince Xin who managed to make his entourage cheer and continue to thank you.

"You also go back to your residence and rest, instead of you complaining of exhaustion until your waist feels broken" crown prince Xin told Prince Min

"Without any gege tell me I'll be right back at my residence" prince Min replied, a little annoyed

"Good then!" said crown prince Xin turned around and passed leaving prince Xin who was now staring at the back of crown prince Xin with a curious look on his face.

"Gege where are you going?" prince Min's successful shout made crown prince Xin stop and turn to look at prince Min

"Of course, go to the emperor's father and ask for a wedding ceremony!"
