My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 8

A different turn of time from my memory kept me from stopping to copy the rules on every book sheet that now holds all the ink graffiti that turned into words that string sentences. My mouth did not stop muttering all the points - the points of the royal rule, my hand deftly wrote every word that came out of my mouth.

I sighed as I placed the brush on the ink container, I finally managed to finish my punishment quickly. I threw my gaze around the room, at that moment I realized that it was slowly starting to darken. The night will soon greet and slowly the sound of footsteps approaching was captured by my hearing. The door to Ayahanda's office was opened and the figures of eunuchs, ladies and servants came in droves to light candles and oil wicks in all corners of the room.

Not long after, crown prince Liang came with a disheveled and tired face. His brother nodded as the eunuch, the lady-in-waiting and the maid who had just turned on the self-deprecating lamp and passed with the heir to the throne Zhang's work.

Crown Prince Liang took a seat right next to me, his head he regained consciousness on my shoulder with both hands now embracing my arms. But his behavior did not last long when crown prince Liang again sat upright with his thumb and index finger clamping his nose pointed.

"May May how many days have you not had a bath?" tannya

I asked the question and thought, I started to remember the last day I took a shower. Maybe when crown prince Liang came and woke me up a few days ago, if that was the last possible - I then started counting with my fingers and replied "Maybe three or two days ago"

Hearing my reply, crown prince Liang shifted his seat away from me. Both fingers are still pinching his nose so that the smell of sweat coming out of my body does not enter into his sense of smell.

"Basar princess jojok! Go take a shower, you want to even beat the *** who likes to play in the mud pit" the crown prince Liang threw a flick on - heave one of his free hands.

Although I was upset by his words comparing me to the mud-loving beast, I still moved from my seat and obeyed my brother's orders. However, I also need to rest after forcing myself to finish the punishment while my stomach is still empty. Maybe after taking a shower, I'll have the waiter bring me a lot of dinner because I missed my lunch because I was too focused on copying. Maybe after all, I will just rest my body until I welcome tomorrow and think of how Emperor Wei's father will allow me to leave the palace when my imprisonment in the Shan pavilions has not been carried out.

I woke up too early, probably because I was thinking too much about the matter of time-spinning which is very much different from my memory of his life in the future. Besides, my life is still a big question, either the terrible memory of the calamity I brought to my entire family and the loyal servants of the Zhang kingdom is just a dream or it is indeed a reality that I have experienced.

I don't know if I'm brought back to life from the dead, and the different turn of time is the cost of one life's chance to pay for all the wrongs and sins I've committed, or maybe the sky just wanted to show me the events of the next 2 years through a dream so that I could quickly take preventive measures and fight against my fate that ended so tragically.

I don't know between those two, where is my true position? All I know right now is that the purpose of both is the same. That is to repair myself, to fight against destiny and to atone for the mistakes and sins I have committed against them - those innocent in the folly and misfortune I have created, he said, besides, I should avenge the debt of many people's lives to them.

Thinking of the two of them, my teeth gnashed. My emotions were heightened just by the thought of two men so cruelly overthrowing me from my position, destroying my hopes, wiping out my family and most painful of all, that, they burned out my feelings for reality if all this time his love was used by them.

I sighed while stomping my forehead which was throbbing pain. It was still quite early in the morning, even the sky outside was still very dark and the early morning air still felt very cold. But I was awake and forced the performance of my brain to think so hard. I sigh, until now I have not thought of how I can get out of the palace even though I have not fully completed my punishment.

Instantly the memory of serving the sentence as it slowly began to turn in the early hours, I was busy struggling with my copy and suddenly the father of emperor Wei appeared in his study. I still remember when Ayahanda said such times were the best times for him to finish his work. And maybe now Father is already in his study.

Compared to bringing the crown prince Liang back in trouble for accompanying me, it might be better to invite the emperor's father alone to accompany me in search of Bo Qing. With the Father coming out with me, my safety will definitely be guaranteed greater than with the crown prince Liang.

The father of the Wei emperor was known to the residents of the Zhang kingdom as a loyal, generous and virtuous emperor for the welfare of the population, but in the eyes of the enemies and outsiders, he was the second cold-blooded ruthless demon after the emperor of the Han kingdom, Han Yong Zheng.

In my memory, the greatest weakness of the Father unknown to everyone is me. To her I was her precious little angel, I was her little princess figure who in her eyes was meek and gentle. Because it was me, young general Wu Cheng took advantage of my feelings to conquer my kingdom. The emperor's father gave up everything because in his eyes I was still valuable even though I had destroyed everything.

I wiped the corner of my watery eyes, I promised to make up for all my faults and sins, I won't let the same thing happen a second time. Therefore the first step I will do is to meet the father of the Wei emperor and ask him to accompany me to look for Bo Qing.
