RETURN OF THE ACTRESS
Inculpation

Concubine Yao had prepared the perfect plan after thinking for a month. The first step has been successful, it only takes the second step and all will be in his control.

"Concubine Yao must be planning something, I must be careful!" Inner Jieru.

Concubine Yao's first step was to make the emperor, empress, and concubine Jiao willing to go along with her look at the market by disguising herself as a commoner. He knew Jieru would definitely come along, so he was very careful this time around.

By night, the market.

"The merchants set the price according to the quality of the goods, there seems to be no problem here." Emperor says.

"Yes, I think it's enough to get here. It's almost dark, we'd better get back to the palace." Concubine Yao said.

"I think I'm too worried, this time he didn't plan anything." Inner Jieru.

But not long ago they were surrounded by some robbers. Jieru who tried to protect concubine Jiao was injured in the arm, while the emperor protected Empress and concubine Yao. The emperor was caught off guard and one of the robbers took the opportunity to kill him.

Crass......

One stab landed on the stomach, not the emperor, but concubine Yao who was trying to protect the emperor.

"Consort Yao!!! Are you all right?! Awake it!!!" Shouted empress.

"Ware!!! Run!!" Shouted the robber leader, they all ran away. The emperor captured one of them.

"Tabib, why is he still unconscious as well?!" The emperor panicked.

"The weapon they used contained poison, fortunately it was detoxified immediately and I had already made the antidote. Consort Yao can be sober tonight." Answer healers.

The emperor allowed the healer to leave, the whole day the emperor waited for concubine Yao to wake up.

Night

"Yes.... Your honor....." Concubine Yao said weakly when she saw the emperor sitting beside her.

"You finally realized!!! You're making me really worried!!" Said the emperor grasping the hand of concubine Yao.

Concubine Yao smiled, "I'm fine already, sorry to worry you." Her speech.

"You don't have to worry, I managed to take down one of those criminals and know who planned all this!!!" Emperor says.

"Thank God, I don't know what those people think that they become robbers. When they can work, why follow a criminal and become a criminal? Has the leader of the robber been captured?" Ask concubine Yao.

"Not their leader, but someone from this palace is ruling them!!!" Emperor furious.

"Now you rest, I'll announce it tomorrow." The emperor softly said.

"Well, can you stay here? I want to talk to you." Concubine Yao said.

The Emperor smiled, "I'll stay here tonight." Answer emperor.

Morning, palace hall.

Everyone gathered after receiving the edict, no one knew the reason except Empress and concubine Yao.

"Two days ago I did a search in the market in disguise with the empress and concubines. On our way home we were attacked by a group of robbers, and the person chained in front of you is one of them!!!" Emperor says.

"What?! Emperor attacked?! How can?!" For a moment the officials whispered to each other, but they fell silent again as the emperor continued his sentence.

"Today, I gather you all together to show you who has ruled them. You, please appoint the one who gave the order!!" Emperor says.

The robber timidly pointed, "He.... He told me!!!" He shouted while pointing at Jieru.

"What do you mean?! Jieru can't do that!!! She is a kind and virtuous girl!! He won't go do that insulting thing!!!" Bela concubine Jiao.

"Shut up!!! Do you think I don't know if you killed the other concubines, huh?!" Shouting emperor.

"A... What's?! I've never killed anyone, your majesty!!!" Firm concubine Jiao.

"Don't dodge it anymore!! Concubine Yao has provided concrete proof that you killed those concubines!! Fortunately he told her in time, otherwise you would definitely get rid of the empress and her!!!" The emperor accused concubine Jiao.

"Your majesty!! Madam can't possibly do that!!!" Jieru.

"Shut up!!! You guys are the same!!! You two made a big mistake!!!" Emperor says.

The empress did not speak even looking at concubine Jiao in the slightest, she seemed to believe what the emperor said. The look on his face clearly illustrates the usual disappointment. She thought that concubine Yao was a bad person, but it turned out that her best friend was the one who wanted to get rid of her.

"You even believe that? Has a decades-long friendship simply disappeared because of a slander? Do you think that I'm that cruel to want to get rid of my best friend?" Inner concubine Jiao.

"Evidence and witnesses are in my presence!!!! Don't dodge it anymore!!! Today, I issued an order!! Concubine Jiao and her servant, Jieru, have made a grave mistake!!! They would be imprisoned in the basement for three days, not fed or drank, after three days would be sentenced to death!!! They will be hanged in front of all the people!!!!" Emperor's Order.

"Taste the consequences of fighting me!! Soon you will be dead!!" Inner concubine Yao.

Jieru and concubine Jiao were unable to defend themselves, they could only think how they could be free in just three days.

Seriate......
