In a palace room.
''What do you want to do Your Majesty?, don't be rash, everything may be a misunderstanding.'' Said a man with a confused face.
However, the woman he called as His Majesty, as if he did not heed his opinion.
He quickly stood up, and moved towards a room not far from where he was.
''I have to do it General Feng, or everything will be out of our control.'' Answer the woman with certainty.
The woman who was none other than, the Empress Dowager or the mother of emperor Jing, seemed confident in every decision he took.
In fact, even though the loyal General tried to prevent it, he did not respond at all.
With a definite step, the woman entered the workroom of the son.
He headed for a box hidden behind a large drawer, which was right behind the Jing emperor's desk.
''I'm forced to do this for you, everything will be fine if you don't fight me Jing.'' Mumbled the queen's mother.
Seeing this, General Feng immediately approached her, and tried to prevent the Empress Dowager's actions.
''What are you doing?, you want to shake the throne of our son?.'' Said the man with the hand that pulled the woman, and carried her in the arms.
Receiving such treatment, the empress Dowager struck General Feng right in the face.
The woman was furious, to the man who had been loyal to her all this time. ''How dare you, let go.leave my words.'' He said in a rather loud voice.
In fact, there are many pairs of eyes that know everything.
But who are those who would dare to hold back, prevent, or gossip about both.
Their relationship was a common secret in the palace, especially the palace within the Zing empire.
Perhaps it was only Emperor Jing, who did not know about the truth between the two.
''Do anything to me, but not to him, he is my son, our son.'' The man with an unbearable voice.
General Feng held onto both of the empress dowager's shoulders, and carried her right before his face.
The two faces sat for a moment, before Feng finally said again. ''You can hurt me for your glory, you can dump me for that stop.''
The man looked so seriously at the woman, he sighed deeply for a moment, before continuing his words. ''But don't do that to him, or I will...''
Feng's words were unresolved, he stared at the dowager empress' face, there was a mixed feeling in his heart.
However, hearing the general's words, the Empress Dowager became furious and replied. ''Or what? what huh?, what do you want to do to me?.''
The empress' widow seemed to have lost her mind, she felt surprised by the attitude of General Feng, who suddenly dared to threaten her.
''Say, what are you going to do to me?.'' The woman returned, hitting again, the General's chest.
''If you hurt her again, I will die and take you with me, I will kill you first and accompany you in hell together.'' Feng replied in a soft voice, yet filled with affirmation.
However, as slow as her voice, can still be heard clearly by the Empress Dowager.
''You have destroyed me, destroyed that woman (wife and general Feng), my daughter, even you also caused death for your second son, do you still want to destroy our son Lexue?.'' Continue Feng with a sad look.
''Let him take care of his throne, he's the great king Lexue.Do not bother him again, let's go to a secluded place, and meditate for the forgiveness of our sins.''
General Feng tried to persuade the Lady, in order to undo her intentions, to take out Jiang jing wei's imperial seal.
She felt that the current Empress Dowager was being blinded by jealousy, by the son's closeness to Empress Yun.
Therefore, he intended to take the imperial seal, to use to threaten emperor Jing, in order to remain obedient to him.
However, he did not understand the truth, the son had a lot of disappointment against him, since the poison he gave to the man.
Plus, emperor Jing was disappointed, for every bad act he had done for the empress (Ziaruo).
However, the empress dowager thought that Emperor Jing was being influenced by his wife's persuasion and seduction, so the man dared to fight against him.
He therefore took the initiative to restrict the emperor's movements, using the imperial seal.
''What do you mean?, what did I do to hurt him?.'' Kill the woman by the hand, who again struck General Feng in the chest.
''I didn't do it for myself, I didn't do it with the intention of hurting her, I'm her mother.'' The woman said again, this time the woman began to sob with sadness.
Seeing this, General Feng felt a pain in his heart, with both of his sturdy hands he grabbed the woman's body.
''He ..you didn't do it on purpose, you wouldn't have bad intentions for him on purpose, forgive me.''
The man kissed the head of the empress dowager several times, he wanted to appease his beloved woman.
Perhaps he is a man who is specialized by destiny, as proof of a proverb, that love is blind.
''General Feng had complete and perfect eyes in sight, but because of his great love, he could not see the cruelty of the woman to others, even to his own son.
General Feng turned a blind eye to every mistake, and forgave Lexue's past misdeeds.
In fact, he was a supporter and the only member of the imperial council, whose loyalty was not to be doubted.
With facial expressions trying to be as calm as possible, Feng helped Lexue walk away, from where the imperial seal was stored.
''Let me take you back to your village.'' Take the general, to the empress dowager.
''You guys, no one opens their voice to today's events, or I will kill you all.'' Said the General, when he was in front of Emperor Jing's door.
He said the remark, to all the eunuchs, and the soldiers who were guarding there.
''Good General...'' Everyone answered, almost simultaneously.
However, General Feng had forgotten that there were still a pair of eyes watching over everything, and the owner of the pair of eyes, would not obey him or the empress dowager.
''It turned out as expected by His Majesty the emperor.'' Mumbled the owner of the pair of eyes, with a thin grin on his face.
.............................
Meanwhile, after a 2-day journey, the two entourage finally reached the Tang empire.
''Welcome to the entourage of the Zing empire, welcome to the Xili imperial entourage.'' Welcoming an elite army of the Tang empire, with great respect.
Even from the reception, has been provided with escort convoys complete with escort weaponry.
Hearing the reception, both emperor Jing, and emperor Morongyu did not answer him directly.
They were only represented by other imperial advisers/officials, to answer to the Tang emperor's emissaries.
And after the friendly, stale welcome was over, they resumed their journey to the Tang imperial palace, which was a half-day trip away.
''Rest, we will still be on the road for another half day.'' Said Jiang jing wei, gently rubbing Ziaruo's head, which was now resting his head on his lap.
Hearing the words, the empress' eyes seemed to sparkle, and replied. ''But if you enter the middle of the city later, please wake me Your Majesty.''
On the agenda of Ziaruo and Emperor Jing's plan, they would stay in the center of the Tang empire, precisely in the city of Diwei.
Where, there Ziaruo has a large jewelry store, as well as a fairly comfortable residence, behind the store.
As for emperor Jing, by staying there, in the end the man would be able to get rid of emperor Murongyu, from the sight of his eyes.
''Don't worry, I understand.'' Said jing again, with his hands still rubbing gently, the head of the Empress.
And while in the carriage, Ziaruo spent a lot of time sleeping.
Many crowds outside their cars, residents who lined up to offer merchandise, passing through the streets from their activities, or just standing to see the accompaniment of an entourage of imperial guests.
However, all of them were unable to interest Ziaruo to see.
For the woman, everything is normal and natural, for the busyness of a growing city.
Until, a loud voice attracted the attention of everyone. ''The goddess.the goddess please give your mercy, give us justice.''
A voice so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone there, even the entire group was forced to stop.
A woman prostrated herself in the middle of the street, shouting loudly, expecting a favor from a woman in the car.
Seeing this, 2 people from the front row of the Tang imperial guard, came forward and tried to expel the woman.
''What are you doing, you are hindering the journey of the honored guests of the empire.'' Hardik the bodyguard, with a rather loud voice.
He found a complaint, and his petition got no results, even his body got encouragement from the guards.
The woman prostrated herself on the side of the road again, saying. ''Levite...Dewi..give me justice, we have been persecuted.''
The woman, constantly yelling out her plea, to the woman she had never even seen at all.
Although the entourage, had passed away, from where it was now prostrating, the woman continued to speak repeatedly.
Until, a handsome man came and helped him stand up, saying. ''Looks like we can't draw his attention this time, wake up.''
''You are right, maybe our efforts will be much more difficult than we calculated.'' Answer the woman.
The two walked into one of the buildings there, with occasionally they would return to see the entourage, which walked away from its place.
''Perhaps, his kindness is just a rumor?.'' It was murmuring in the heart of the woman.
