My Empress From The Future
Can I Go?

Since her meeting with Hao Chen, Princess ChinSuo has often spent her time daydreaming. Hoping to get a chance to get out of the palace again, then meet Hao Chen out there. But where should he look for that young man? Other than the name and face clearly imprinted on his memory, ChinSuo knew absolutely nothing. Let alone who Hao Chen was, even where he lived he did not know.

Wait up! Wasn't that time Hao Chen shouted his name clearly? Li Hao Chen's! The youth's clan was Li. There shouldn't be many Li clans in this capital of Wu's kingdom right? Thinking of this, ChinSuo ran to see her brother. Hope to get help to find the young man. Hoping that he could meet again with the young man, even if only once before his appointment as concubine.

"Gege, will Gege help me?"

Chen Xu who was reading a book stopped his activity. He looked at his different sister the mother meticulously.

"Help what?"

"But Gege promised to help me!"

"Meimei, if you haven't said anything, how can Gege help you?"

"Gege remember that young man named Li Hao Chen back then?"ask ChinSuo shyly. Chen Xu raised an eyebrow, pretending to remember. "Gege Aiyaa! The young man who helped us at that time!"

"alright. Okay, Gege remembers. Why with?"

"Gege remembered his name Li Hao Chen. Will Gege be able to figure out where he lives?"

"Meimei, what do you want to do? Don't forget your status and position now! Soon you will be Emperor Tian Yi's Concubine!"

Hearing that mentioned again, ChinSuo sat down listlessly. "I understand. But shouldn't we return the favor? Gege always tells me, we Wen people always remember the slightest goodwill, also have to repay it properly. What now Gege forgot?"

"alright. My spoiled little sister now knows to return the favor, hmm?"

"So will Gege help me to get information about Hao Chen?"

"Alright, Gege will help you. After all, Wu Palace was happy now. Looks like your appointment as a Concubine won't be done so quickly."

"Thank Gege. Only Gege understands me."

ChinSuo's wide smile made the dimples on both of his cheeks clearly visible. For Chen Xu, it was happiness for him.

The royal palace is huge. The winding road through Meihua is getting quieter and quieter. The sun is also moving west. But he doesn't care at all. For him to go as far away as possible from Tian Yi was a good thing. Why would he continue to be here if his heart would continue to be hurt?

Meihua stopped her footsteps when she reached a sizable artificial lake. His memory says this lake is the lake he visited first during the election competition for empress candidates. It was just that now he appeared in a different direction. Meihua threw out her rough breath, then stepped towards the lake. Cold lake water, causing small waves on the surface of the lake. The vast lake water reflects the last rays of sunlight.

"What a beauty," Meihua monologue to herself. "I wish I could enjoy this sight with Tian Yi. Aiyaa!! What did I just say? Tian Yi's? Ciihh, wherever men are the same. I can't see a beautiful woman! They carelessly indulge in promises and love, no matter how it hurts the woman."

Satisfied with all the burdens of his heart, Meihua began to cry. His heart-wrenching cry sounded heartbreaking. Until sunset, Meihua was still sitting on the edge of the artificial lake with both hands hugging her knees. When the sky was completely dark, Meihua looked up.

"I think my life is absolutely perfect in this place. I have a husband who loves me and a family that loves me. I've always done good in my life, I've never done anything bad to anyone, but why is the sky still unfair to me? Why??!"

The sound of laughter rang out after Meihua finished her speech. Immediately Meihua stood up, his gaze circling the entire place.

"Who?! Whoareyou? Out!" There was no answer Meihua got. Only a breeze of the night wind carried the fragrant flowers smelled by it.

"Who are you? Are you a ghost? If you're a ghost, I'm not afraid, come out and we go to hell together!"

The laughter came up again, now more clearly. Meihua could not yet guess the owner of the laughter was either male or female. When the rustling of the tares burst, then Meihua saw his figure even though faint.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress. Forgive my sass." From his posture and voice, Meihua was sure that the figure was a young man.

"Who are you?! And why do you know I'm the Empress?"

"I'm Chen Xu. The Phoenix Conde Skeleton that you used, already showed your status, Your Majesty."

"Chen Xu's? Why is his name the same as the name of the messenger from Wen? Could it be that he is indeed the envoy from Wen? Gawat, what if he heard my words earlier?"inner Meihua panicked.

"You're Prince Chen Xu?"

"really. The empress is very insightful, can recognize me when we have never met."

"You insinuating me? Obviously you're the one who recognized me in just one look, and that's because of this konde puncture. Not because of my face!"

"The prince is too proud!" Meihua sat back in her place. Chen Xu chose to observe from where he stood.

"His Majesty the Empress. Aren't you afraid of the dark and animals like snakes or the others? Why are you here?"

"You! Why are you here too? I'm not like the women out there anyway. What is afraid of the darkness? Snakes, frogs, ants, I'm not afraid!"

Chen Xu laughed again. Empress Wu's persona really caught his attention.

"I'm sorry, Empress. This lake was right behind Chunyi Pavilion, the temporary residence of the envoy from Wen. So it's only natural that the servant is here. While you?"

"This lake is in the royal palace of Wu. Wu royal palace is also mine, so I can be anywhere!"

"You're right, Your Majesty."

"That's it. I have to go."

"Where?"chen Xu asked quickly. Realizing that, Chen Xu immediately closed his mouth. Meihua who saw him just laughed.

"Out palace. Also don't tell anyone if you meet me here! You understand?!"

"Why?"

"Easy! You must obey! Shut up and do your job! Be a good boy, okay?!"

Chen Xu nodded, though in his heart he felt funny with the words of the Empress. "His luck shouldn't be much different from mine, but he used words as if he was my mother," Chen Xu's inner amused.

"What are you laughing at? Go quickly! Don't let you see me go! You're not going to follow me!"drive Meihua away quickly while shaking her hand.

After making sure Chen Xu respected and turned to leave, Meihua hurriedly ran towards the thickets on her right side. There is a high wall of the palace that is hollow and covered with vines. Anyone who sees it at a glance will not know that there is a hole. Immediately Meihua bowed through the hole.

The little hole was fortunately still fit he passed. The scenery that greeted him was the dark bamboo forests. Meihua thinks she won't return to the General's house. General Li's residence was the first place to be searched, to find him. Right now he was thinking of hiding himself, until his mind went back to sane. While the recesses of his heart were wondering, could he leave like this?

Prince Chen Xu had originally wanted to take a walk around Chunyi Pavilion, after telling his personal bodyguards to find out about Hao Chen. Just then his sharp ears heard the sound of a woman's sobbing. His mind wondered who was crying in a desolate place like this? Could it be the ghost of a servant who killed himself?

As he finally heard the woman say a few words, Chen Xu began to guess who the woman was. Peering from behind the bushes, the swaying konde skewer told him one thing. That woman was Emperor Tian Yi's Empress. But why was the Empress in this place alone? Without the guards, the lady-in-waiting and the eunuch?

Chen Xu decided to show himself in front of Empress Meihua. From the exchange of sentences between the two, Chen Xu reached the conclusion that the woman in front of him was indeed very attractive. Her slippery style of speech, her un-created manner and attitude like other royal women, actually gave a special impression in her heart.

When he heard that the woman wanted to leave the palace, the deepest corner of Chen Xu's heart was worried. The pregnant young woman wanted to leave the palace without any escort at all, wouldn't it bring harm to herself? It was just that given his status here, which was only an envoy of another kingdom, Chen Xu decided not to interfere.

After pretending to turn around and return to the palace, the real Chen Xu went into hiding, seeing Meihua come out of a hole in the palace wall. A small smile appeared on the corner of her lips, this young lady was indeed different from the others.

Returning to Chunyi Pavilion, Chen Xu stared in astonishment at the group of soldiers running around in panic. The head soldier asked for his permission to search for the Empress's whereabouts in Chunyi Pavilion. After obtaining permission, the soldiers searched carefully.

Meihua walked down the small path that cut through the bamboo forest. With the illumination of the moonlight, Meihua tried to figure out the path he was going through. After being tired of walking, Meihua decided to sit leaning under a large, shady tree. His gaze probed throughout the forest where he rested. Realizing that it was getting night time, Meihua began to rack her brain. He will not want to sleep reasoned ground directly. The slithering night beast will make it bother later.

Perplexed, Meihua circulated her gaze upwards, trying to look at the moon. However, numerous and shady tree branches covered his sight. Tree oh tree, why are you so big? Wait up! This huge tree could be the place to sleep for tonight. Tomorrow he'll find a better place.

Meihua immediately climbed the big tree without any distress. Although using a heavy Empress dress is a little troublesome, Meihua needs it to be used as a blanket later. After arriving at the tree, Meihua looked for a place she could use. Luckily the tree branched so much that Meihua was not afraid of falling.

Meihua rested herself and her tired mind. From the top of the tree, the moonlight seemed so beautiful to Meihua. The sound of crickets and the roar of ferocious beasts in the distance sounded faint. After feeling sleepy, Meihua decided to remove her shawl and tie herself to the branch of the tree she was laying on. It was to prevent him from falling, even though the branches of the tree were so many, but just in case what was wrong? After using the heavy outer dress of the Empress as a blanket, Meihua fell asleep to dreamland.

The Wu imperial palace.

Emperor Tian Yi waited anxiously at the Golden Palace. Each report he received further added to his anxiety. In total, the five military commanders he appointed to lead the search inside the Palace, reported that the Empress could not be found anywhere.

"So you didn't find the Empress in the royal palace at all?"

"Right be Your Majesty."

"The General's residence is also not found?"

"No, Your Majesty. General Li was confused, so he also sent a squad to help with the search."

"Actually where is the Empress? It was impossible for him to escape out of the palace without anyone helping. You guys do a search in the city! If still not found do a search in a wider area!"

"We understand."

"Go! Cooperate with the General's residence to find the Empress to see you!"

"Ready."

Hua'er, where are you really?

.

Prince Chen Xu who was feeling uneasy finally decided to meet Emperor Tian Yi at the Golden Palace. After his arrival was reported, Prince Chen Xu saluted with reverence.

"Prince Chen Xu, what was the matter until you came to see Zhen?"

"Your Majesty, this is concerning...."

"Prince if this concerns Princess ChinSuo, then Zhen should apologize. At the moment Zhen was in big trouble, so the decision for Princess ChinSuo could not yet be Zhen decided!"

"His Majesty the Emperor. This isn't about my brother. But about your problem!"

"My problem? Prince Chen Xu do you know anything?"

"Your Majesty, this afternoon when I decided to take a walk behind Chunyi Pavilion, I saw the figure of the girl sneaking out of the palace walls. Back then I wasn't sure who she was, but after the soldiers ransacked the entire Palace, I guessed it could be the Empress?"

"Say! Where did you see the Empress sneaking around? Did he climb the palace walls?"

"No, Your Majesty. He broke through a hole in the palace wall."

"Quick! Get Zhen over there!"

"Please Your Majesty."

Emperor Tian Yi walked in a hurry with Prince Chen Xu beside him. After reaching behind Chunyi Pavilion, Emperor Tian Yi fluttered the vines and found a hole in the wall. The hole was small, with Meihua's posture of course she would easily pass through. If he were to pass through it, then it would be difficult.

Emperor Tian Yi looked up, at the row of dark clouds that were overshadowing the earth. Although on the other hand, the moon still shines silvery, the dark cloud could spew its cargo at any time. If until it rains Meihua has not been found, then Tian Yi will not forgive himself.

"Your Majesty. Behind these walls what's really going on?"

"Fear behind these walls is the bamboo forest in the North," Tian Yi replied listlessly.

"Then, wouldn't it be better for you to bring the troops there? Who knows the Empress hasn't run too far."

"You're right. She's pregnant, so she's tired. Prince Chen Xu, thank you for the help."

Chen Xu respectfully, the corner of his eyes saw Emperor Tian Yi running quickly back to the palace.

The news of Empress's disappearance has been heard by Consort Hong at Jade's palace. Concubine Hong was currently even having fun. Her pregnancy was recognized by the Emperor. The whole people rejoiced for her too, and Meihua ran away from the palace after hearing her title of concubine was restored.

Minister Kang, his father had even sent a group of people from the Black Mist Organization to chase after Meihua. If the person sent by his father finds Meihua first, then the girl he makes sure will not live after this. Without protection, Meihua is like a turtle without a shell. Hongmei even hoped Meihua would not return forever. That way her path to becoming Empress would be easier after this.

Luofen, Prince Chen Xu's personal bodyguard who was ordered to find out about Li Hao Chen had returned to the palace. He immediately looked for Prince Chen Xu in his room. The Prince is with Princess ChinSuo.

"Hail Prince, greetings Princess."

"How's it?"

"Prince Report. Li Hao Chen was the nephew of General Li. Which means also brothers with the Empress. He currently serves as the deputy General Li."

"It turns out that his identity is indeed unusual" Prince Chen Xu said.

"Gege, doesn't that mean he lives in General Li's residence?

"Daughter, he is currently at the border. His position was deputy general. So he wasn't in the capital all the time."

"Gege, how's this? Can I go to the border?"

"Meimei, don't be silly! Remember status! Soon you'll be Emperor's concubine."

"But the Emperor is not interested in me! He was busy looking for the Empress. In his mind there was only the Empress!"

"Meimei lower your voice! Don't let anyone hear it!"

"Then what should I do?"

"Meimei you should be able to tell the difference between big and small things. Replying is good, but think about our current priorities. The entire Wen kingdom is depending on you!" Hearing her brother's rising tone of voice, Princess ChinSuo began to cry. Without thinking of the palace rules, Princess ChinSuo ran back to her room followed by Yue'er, her personal servant.
