Episode 97 The fruit of pride and cunning.

Time went quickly, creeping as if he did not heed anything, even the light was reluctant to shade a man, who was walking with a clear face and looked shabby. His legs looked exhausted, now he was facing in front of the gate of a residence.

While in his right hand, carrying a cube-shaped wooden box, with a side length of approximately 30 centimeters meter.

His disheveled face, increasingly makes the man look chaotic, like people from the lower class (common people), who have for days not had enough food.

''Soldier help me get inside the residence, I want to meet with concubine Changbin.'' He said in a stammered voice, as if he was no longer able to hold back, as well as control his current fatigue.

Hearing the order, the two guards of the residence gate looked at each other, he barely recognized the younger brother of their lord.

''You... you young master Chang yeon?, sorry sir..let me help...why did you get like this?, and where is your horse carriage sir?.'' Asked the soldier in astonishment, while helping the young master inside.

Young master Chang Yeon was the half-brother of concubine Chang bin, the prettiest woman of prince Murongyu who was now Emperor.

Chang Yeon was the Emperor's sister-in-law.

With such a status, Chang Yeon thought he could do whatever he wanted. Until today, he was hit in a store in the middle of the city.

The guard soldiers helped her enter through the main door of the concubine's residence, with a pitiful-looking body she began to call out the name of the concubine.'' Brother.sister.see me now brother.you must establish justice for me.''

The call with a hearty tone from the younger brother, was clearly heard in the ear of concubine Changbin.

The woman who had entered the palace 6 months ago, rushed to her feet and walked out, in a calm voice she answered Chang Yeon's call. ''Why are you shouting?, can't you speak politely here?.''

''Look at my condition, I almost died of exhaustion, you know.'' Speak Yeon with a voice made as eleventh as possible.

Indeed, without acting, his current appearance is already apprehensive.

'' Hey...Chang yeon what clothes are you wearing?, why are you like a slave?.'' The concubine asked again, when she saw the clothes the young man in front of her.

''This is what they are, even in this city, we have no majesty over the honor you obtained from the Emperor Brother, do they not consider us?.'' Yeon replied with full provocation.

''Good.I have to make them pay for their deeds.''Mumbled in the young man's mind.

Hearing and seeing the condition of the younger brother, Consort Changbin felt that something was piercing his heart." Who do you mean?, who doesn't consider our family?.'' Changbin asked his brother.

With a word that justifies him, Chang Yeon composed every line of words that he conveyed to the older brother, he did not want to be seen as the one who caused the problem in the beginning. And it turns out that all the creativity and processing of the word that he imagines, for the concubine Changbin succeeded perfectly.

The woman began to be provoked by her anger, when she heard the narration from the sister, she felt very offended because compared to the servants (workers of taverns and inns), of course the sister-in-law of the empire (Chang yeon), she felt very offended, much more honorable and valuable.

With a voice that began to rise up Concubine Chang again said.'' You don't worry, let's go see the Emperor, we'll make them pay for everything.''

''With this, I also have the opportunity to meet with His Majesty, besides it can also make the other concubines think, too, that I am the only one who freely goes in and out of the workspace His Majesty. Let's just say, once paddled two three islands exceeded.'' Consort Chang thought inwardly, interrupted by her footsteps, which was followed by her sister and 2 maids.

A few moments later, they arrived in front of a large room with beautiful carvings on the door leaf.

Seeing the concubine's arrival, the guard bowed for a moment in salute, before finally one of the guards, entered the emperor's study, to announce the concubine's arrival.

''Sincerely Your Majesty, may you always be given a long life.'' Said the soldier, bowing his body.

Seeing the soldier enter, the Emperor stopped reading the report scroll. The man said flatly.'' Wake up, Tell me what's going on!.''

Hearing the Master's question, the guard soldier, got up from his bent position, but still with his face down he said again. ''Ampuni....His Majesty concubine Changbin and young master Chang Yeon wanted to face His Majesty.''

The emperor sighed softly.'' Heeehhh...'' While putting the report scroll and brush on his refutation, he grabbed the teacup and said.'' Get them both in!."

''Your highness.'' The guard replied briefly, and bowed his body for a moment before exiting the room.

Emperor Murongyu was astonished as to what made the woman come to him at such a time as now, for it had been made plain that they were not allowed (the concubines) to disturb her, while dealing with government issues.

''Your Majesty the Emperor, may you always be prosperous.'' Speak to the two people who just entered the room.

''Forgive this concubine Yang...'' The words of Changbin's concubine could not be completed, because Emperor Murongyu interrupted him with a question without a stale base.'' Stop it, just say it directly, I still have a lot of business to settle.''

Hearing the words, Consort Changbin became shriveled his guts, every utterance he made suddenly disappeared from the row of brain walls. She felt ashamed in front of her sister.

The attitude of the Emperor, as if to say clearly, that he had engaged the work of the Man.

With a voice that he set as calm as possible, Consort Changbin began to say.'' Your Majesty, please uphold justice for my servant sister, she has received ill treatment from the owner and waiter of the tavern in the middle of the city, and....'' The concubine, starting to tell the incident that happened to the sister, of course in accordance with what he heard earlier (according to Chang Yeon Version).

The emperor frowned, and again said.'You said where your sister was humiliated?, and what was in her hand.''

Hearing that, Chang Yeon lowered her head for a moment and replied.'' At the Nanchang Venerable inn, and this was an object that they thought, the price was worth the equivalent of a residence.''

Chang Yeon advanced closer, he handed the box he had brought to the eunuch beside the Emperor's table.

With Murongyu's permission, the eunuch placed the box on his desk.

Slowly the eunuch opened a large object from the wood of the forest, before he showed it to the Emperor.

Murongyu smiled for a moment, when he saw the contents of the box, in his heart muttered.''This is an item made by you Ruoer, I know this foolish man has caused you trouble, but it is also good....''

''Eheeemmm..., is it true that you did nothing wrong there?, even though I am an emperor, and you are a family-in-law of the empire, but I am also a patron of my people, too, and won't take sides unfairly.'' Murongyu said as he looked at the man in front of him.

Obtaining the question, Chang Yeon became nervous, with a stammered voice she again replied.'' Truly Your Majesty, even the servant has mentioned the name of the servant brother to make peace, but they do not care about His Majesty.''

''It's wet, I have to continue.'' The murmur in Chang Yeon's heart interrupted his nervousness.

However, unbeknownst to the two men, Emperor Murongyu was able to guess what happened to the woman he adored. Thin smile imprinted on his firm face, he felt funny with the two brothers in front of him.

''I will order people, call the innkeeper to come, and ask for their information.'' Murongyu said calmly, but unbeknownst to the Concubine and her sister, there was something he had planned in his mind.

''Will but if later, found fault with you, then don't blame me if you have to punish me with the rules that apply.'' Murongyu is back.

Hearing these words, they began to be surrounded by fear, especially Chang Yeon who had clearly lied, even now he also brought the brother in big trouble.

Chang Yeon began to feel regret, but she was also unable to do anything right now. Just continuing his mistake, and trying to think of a way to save Consort Changbin was his choice.

''If there is no one else, you can come back.'' Emperor Murongyu's words made his second body, reflexively saluted and said again.'' Well Your Majesty...We beg to withdraw.'' Simultaneously.

''Ziaruo you should come, even though I know your work is innocent, you should still.'' Mumbled wailing.

Meanwhile, it's outside the room.

Consort Changbin suddenly stopped, he turned around and looked at the sister with a look and asked." Yeon...you did not lie?, remember everything is in your hands..If you make a mistake, then your life, my life, even the good name of our family are at stake here."

The concubine said with great emphasis, trying to reassure her heart, that the younger brother was not lying.

Concubine Changbin sighed softly, and again said." Don't be afraid, as long as you're innocent, everything will be fine, let me order people to call the healer, to examine and treat your body.''

Hearing the elder brother's words, Chang Yeon felt a deep sense of regret, there was a great fear in her eyes.

''Sister...pardon Me..Will I apologize to them now, everything will be fine?, but how can the Emperor undo his summons to the tavern.'' Mumbled Chang Yeon's fear and regret in her heart.''

The young man's footsteps grew heavier, and it was as if he was about to fall there.Everything had happened and his regret would mean nothing now.

Vanity, arrogance, cunning even the lies he planted a moment ago, soon he will reap the rewards.
