Episode 86 Supervision

Turning from the western forest, again greeted imperial concubine Xili who was busy with the welcoming event of their family's future successor.

Emperor Murongyu was in his study, with scrolls of reports almost filling the table.

A eunuch, bowing saluted before delivering a news, which he received from the eunuch pavilion guard concubine Xio. "Congratulations Your Majesty.the concubine has safely given birth to a little prince.''

Hearing the news, Murongyu stopped the movement of his hand that was controlling the brush pace.

He closed his eyes for a moment, before opening his mouth and said calmly.'' Tell him he (the concubine) is doing his job well, I'll give him the right gift.''

The eunuch frowned at a glance, but he hurriedly displayed his normal return and replied.'' Servant understands Your Majesty, your word will be conveyed soon this servant.''

The eunuch immediately bowed down, saluting, after seeing the flickering hand of the Xili ruler.

In the midst of his footsteps leaving the master's room, the Chief Eunuch was astonished by the response of Emperor Murongyu, who seemed to have no happiness, when he heard the news of the birth of his successor.

But he just kept everything in his heart. Whatever is done and what kind of response the master gives, is not his business. His job is to just send a message.

After the eunuch's departure, Murongyu stood up from his seat walking towards the back of the rattan barrier at the end of the room. With a firm step, he stepped out from the hidden door between the neatly arranged rows of book storage shelves.

As far as his feet went, a shadow swiftly followed from behind, the shadow of the guard who had always faithfully accompanied the Emperor, beginning to equalize his footsteps, with a rhythm one step behind Murongyu.

''Hanwen do I have to see that woman?.'' Murongyu asked the guard.

As if lacking in understanding the Emperor's sentence, Hanwen frowned for a moment before asking.''Which woman is His Majesty?.''

Hearing the reply, Murongyu stopped his steps, The Xili ruler turned to the guard and said again.''Are you playing me?, of course, the woman who just gave birth

that's concubine Xio, which woman do you think is it again?.''

''Oohhhh...''Hanwen nodded his head.

Emperor Murongyu, turning his body back towards the guard, when he heard a short reply coming out of his lips, as he was about to continue his steps, headed towards the Empress' pavilion as he always did.

An empty Pavilion, which he had been preparing for a long time, to welcome the arrival of someone special to the man.

''Why did you answer me with something that Han was unclear about?.''Ask with a flat look.

Hanwen smiled and replied with great respect.'' Because I know, you only consider Miss Ziaruo, as a woman Your Highness.''

Emperor Murongyu lowered his head for a moment, he let out a long sigh before returning saying.''Is that wrong?, for me Ziaruo is just a truly sincere woman towards others, I did not want any of this at first.''

''However, in order to give him my best, I turned into a demon and thirst for power, made my way and just wanted to be happy with him.'' He continued with a face that could not be seen.

Hanwen was silent and listened, he understood every struggle carried out by the emperor, his college friend.

There was no reply from the man beside him. But Murongyu did not want it either.

Both of them were silent in their minds. Sometimes a question does not require an answer, nor does an answer that is already known, need not be spoken.

''Is there any news from the Zing empire?.'' Murongyu asked, after a while, in a quieter voice, but clearly in his eyes a great enthusiasm was emanating.

Hanwen sighed and smiled at a glance, he drew closer to the Emperor and whispered softly.'' That woman, in her health, Your Majesty, perhaps even in a moment, will come to attend the annual banquet in the Tang empire.''

Hearing those words, Murongyu rounded his eyes, there was an unusual swish in his heartbeats, there would be disappointment there too.

For the sake of the woman, he steadied his hesitant heart, when he was about to wrest the throne from the elder brother, Emperor Muronghui.

But just as he had obtained the throne, a marriage message from Ziaruo reached him.

Makes him a cold and unmerciful figure.

Murongyu felt that everything was unfair to him, he was the man who brought Ziaruo and knew him first, for him Ziaruo was his, and had to return to him.

"Are we getting an invitation from the Tang country?." Murongyu's face displayed a flat expression, when asking that.

After all, since the incident in the western forest (the ambush of the red village) the relations of the Xili empire and the Tang empire were less friendly.

Moreover, when prince Canzuo inherited the throne from his father, the cooperation of the two countries became cold, it could even be said that he was starting a feud.

Prince Canzuo held a grudge, as well as hatred for Prince Murongyu, who became Emperor of Xili.

Hearing Murongyu's question, Hanwen nodded as he said." I think I got it Your Majesty, because the whole empire on this continent has an invitation."

"Heeemmm.." Murongyu nodded his head a few times, before returning to say."Watch Emperor Canzuo's movements, I don't think the party this time is as simple as it looks."

"Servant understands Your Majesty, I will order some of our men to investigate and conduct surveillance."Hanwen replied firmly, he saluted before darting away, leaving the Emperor with the 2 guards he trusted.

For Hanwen, he could not have done anything wrong, regarding guarding the Emperor's safety.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion room in the right wing of the palace, several maids were busy helping to serve and care for the body of Empress Xio, and the little baby she had just delivered.

"Your Majesty concubine, it seems the little prince is thirsty." Say one of the maidservants who was swinging a small baby on a swing bed.

The maid, feeling sorry to see the little baby who was now crying, but the concubine remained silent and tilted her body, turning her back to everyone there.

Concubine Xio did not heed the cry of the little baby, which only a moment ago she was born.

What was the woman thinking?, she refused to breastfeed her own son.

The servants there had begged several times, in order to be willing to give milk to the little prince.

The longer, the baby's cry grew louder, but concubine Xio remained silent and ignored it.

Until the sound of the eunuch guarding the door outside, announced the arrival of Emperor Murongyu loudly." His Majesty the Emperor entered the room."

Hearing this, concubine Xio immediately tried to wake up, but with a body that was exhausted after childbirth, he had difficulty getting up and standing up to welcome the man, even to hold his body he did not have much energy.

Two servants immediately came to his aid, that was when everyone there saw clearly, concubine Xiao's face with tears streaming down.

All the servants were confused and did not understand what to do, they were frightened and immediately prostrated as they said." Forgive us Your Majesty, forgive our incompetence and foolishness His Majesty the Emperor...Your Majesty's concubine."

Emperor Murongyu let out a long sigh, before shaking his hand as he said." You guys get out."

Hearing Emperor Murongyu's remark, everyone felt relieved, and hurriedly rushed away from the room."Thank you Your Majesty."

Murongyu walked up to the cot, picked up the baby, and walked towards concubine Xio's bed.

"You don't have to salute me Miss Xio, you just have to give her milk, she didn't do anything wrong." Said Emperor Murongyu, when he saw the woman was about to salute him.

He gave up a baby who was still red, fragile and even, was crying from thirst.

"Are you going to punish him for someone else's mistake, Miss Xio?." The Emperor returned, when he saw the woman on the bed, clasped her hands tightly under the covers, and did not want to accept even seeing the baby.

The woman was still streaming clear grains from the corner of her eyes, slowly sounding softly a speech from the lips of the woman." But that person was his Noble father, he was his flesh and blood."
