My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 72
As the rumors say, Dong Jui is very savage over the contest. Evidently how the young man made Ma Mei Rong until now had not moved from the top of the contest, he was too tired and weak just to get up and occupy himself.
"Dong Jui is such a jerk, he really doesn't hold himself back from trying to make fun of me like this" Ma Mei Rong said resentfully trying her hardest to get up from the inn room that was also in the restaurant they were staying at last night.
After successfully waking up and reassembling his clothes that were scattered with the contest, Ma Mei Rong stepped out of the inn with both feet trembling. With great difficulty Ma Mei Rong stepped out of the inn room as early as possible by enduring the pain under her groin, he had to return immediately before either young general Wu Cheng or prime minister Wu Ge Ming realized that he had not been in Wu's residence all night.
"Ma Mei Rong, just for tonight, after you avenge you, Dong Jui is of no use to you anymore. Hang on and then go as far as possible" Ma Mei Rong said.
Ma Mei Rong walked out of the restaurant in a complete disguise, wearing dark clothes. A headscarf with a black satin cloth that dangled to the chest disguising his face, he stepped across the cold of the early morning breeze that pierced to the bone.
Even though Ma Mei Rong was cold, she still stepped back with great difficulty. He had to arrive immediately at the Wu residence without the knowledge of the people of the Wu residence, especially he knew that young general Wu Cheng did not care about him at all to not put a soldier to watch over him, so that Ma Mei Rong could roam around freely like this.
Dissolved into deep thoughts, Ma Mei Rong did not realize that she had arrived at the gate of the back of the Wu residence. The atmosphere is still very dark, the cold air is certainly making some people still choose to roll in their thick blankets.
Ma Mei Rong then entered the rear gate which is very rarely used with heart - heart, rusty door hinges can produce a loud noise that disturbs. With heart, Ma Mei Rong managed to enter, and as per her estimation and calculations the Wu residence was still very quiet as it was 3 days ago.
Ma Mei Rong managed to return to her residence without anyone suspecting, when she arrived at her residence, she immediately changed her clothes and hid her disguise before she pretended to close her eyes, but eventually keblasan fell asleep because of fatigue serving Dong Jui just because of a barren potion.
But just as Ma Mei Rong was asleep for a while, the sighing and moaning of a woman next to her room disturbed Ma Mei Rong's sleep. Irritated Ma Mei Rong got up and settled herself on the contest, she turned her head and looked at the wooden wall that was the barrier to her room with the room belonging to young general Wu Cheng.
Ma Mei Rong should have gotten used to hearing a voice that somehow sounded disgusting in her ears for the past 3 days, but more and more the day Ma Mei Rong began to feel sick and could not stand the treatment of young general Wu Cheng who heard her voice - a disgusting voice that often made her angry.
"I can't stay silent like this," Ma Mei Rong insisted on her "I think I should carry out my plan immediately!"

On the other hand, at the Han court, the Wei emperor had just returned home after completing a routine meeting with government officials. Throughout the meeting he only listened to all the nonsense that the prime ministers of the Zhang kingdom said about their performance for one month, they continue to brag and boast about themselves with a lie with a trick to fake data to make him believe. Unfortunately everything they said did not work out for him and it was all thanks to the warning of his little daughter and the case of embezzlement of labor wage funds some time ago.
The evidence he had was enough to drag all the silent officials into forming an alliance of rebellion against the royal family, originally only a presumption of the Wei emperor, but some time ago the prejudice was strengthened with the arrival of reports from the royal special soldiers who oversaw the residence of the prime minister Ma Ze Dong who held meetings with officials and scholars who succeeded in the his incitement.
"Ayahanda you're finally back" he said with a distinctive raspy sound of waking up.
"Lan'er why are you sleeping here baby, doesn't your neck hurt?" emperor Wei asked sounding worried.
"I'm waiting for Father, there's something I want to ask" I answered, rubbing my eyes that still felt heavy.
"What's so important about making this old man's little daughter come to this waiting?" asked the Wei emperor to step towards his desk and sit on his chair with both hands resting on the table and copy the interlocked.
"Only a few things about having lunch with the Han royal family last time that somehow bothered me so much" I replied without delaying and wasting my time just to be compassionate to the emperor's father.
Hearing my question, the Wei emperor seemed a little surprised, but he quickly changed his facial expression and said "Does it if your father said nothing, you would believe it?" the question made me answer with a slit.
"Look, see, you wouldn't believe what Father would have said if you said there was no talk or anything important that day other than just having lunch together before the return of crown prince Han Zi Xin and prince Han Ze Min to the Han kingdom" obviously the Wei emperor tried to cover up the real incident by lying.
I looked at the Emperor's father with a sharp and deep gaze, I looked into the eyes of Ayahanda even read his movements while looking for reproach to suspect and found the lie from the words of the Wei emperor, unfortunately, I found nothing at all to make me sure that Emperor Wei was lying to me.
As I stared at Ayahanda thinking for a long time about her words that still made me doubt, on the other hand the emperor Wei began to feel nervous. His biggest weakness is his little daughter and it will be very easy to find a blemish that can make his daughter or everyone suspicious if he is currently lying, especially his weakness is currently in front of him. But since he had promised, he would try to stay this way and hope that if his little daughter believed his current lie, for let time answer his daughter's question with the official arrival of crown prince Han Zi Xin.
