Happy Reading's.

Liang gulped his saliva with difficulty, now in front of him sat an old woman who was staring at him intensely.
In front of this woman the charisma as an emperor collapsed just like that, only this time he felt extremely depressed.
"You're asking for my help but you're endangering my two grandchildren yourself?" Say Sharp Grandma Hong.
"Yes, because now the kingdom needs the help of the Li family" Liang replied.
"I'm not Li's family" Granny Hong argued.
"Then I also urgently need the help of the Hong family" Liang added.
"What did I get?" Ask Grandma Hong.
Honestly Cheng who had been eavesdropping on the conversation was also depressed when he heard Grandma Hong's always sharp tone.
"I'm not a good Emperor, tap-"
"You are indeed not a good emperor" Granny Hong slashed down.
'Jia where you are now' Guma Liang inwardly hoped that Jia would help him immediately.
"I-i"
"Grandmother, I told you not to treat Your Majesty that way" Cut Jia who finally came to make the two men exhale in relief.
"My granddaughter, Grandma is just trying to help you escape the clutches of this stupid Emperor" Grandma Hong said.
Jia patted his eel, 'Stupid Emperor'. If Grandma Hong knew how cruel the man in front of her was.
Jia immediately approached them and sat down in the middle of Granny Hong and Liang.
"Grandmother, I became a concubine just to help Big Brother Liu and soon I will be released" Jia explained.
"Grandmother knows, but life in the palace was terrible" Grandma Hong replied.
"You take it easy I will ensure Jia's safety" Liang said.
"Silence you're a young man" Grandma Hong snapped.
Jia let out a tired sigh, he immediately looked at his Grandma's wrinkled hands.
"Grandmother, trust me! I can protect myself" Jia assured.
"Grandmother no longer wants to lose anyone, enough of your mother killed" she said
Liang and Cheng were stunned to hear a fact, which everyone knew Madam Li died while giving birth to Jia.
Grandma Hong immediately sighed.
"Well, my boy will help you make the Silk Cloth of the sky. But the condition is that you have to reveal the death of my daughter!"
"May I know! Why are you just going to reveal it now?" Liang asked confusedly.
"This matter is more complicated than your problem this time. There are a lot of people involved and we didn't have a strong relationship with the palace yet" Granny Hong explained, according to the facts. Although Jia's father used to be a general, the political power of their family was too weak at that time.
"Alright, I will accept his terms and will investigate immediately" cried Liang, Grandma Hong nodded and he immediately handed over a book containing the investigation of the Hong and Li families.

"I never knew your mother was killed" Liang said.
Jia who was sitting in front of Liang immediately put some embroidery thread, although he hated to embroider and could not even. But Jia had to do it as the reason he came out of the palace to learn to embroider.
"You don't know, at that time my father was not concerned about the palace even though he was a general. But ever since he brought victory and you ascended the throne, my father was respected" Jia was sad to remember.
Liang was silent in return, he now understood why he ascended the throne in his teens. Because of his father, the previous emperor wanted him to do something for military officials.
"I've sent orders for a re-investigation and robust evidence collection"
"Hamba is very grateful for that" Reply Jia.
"But I also did not expect that my father's concubine used to be involved and even play games with the Prime Minister" Liang said.
"His Highness if you know, behind his high rank the Prime Minister is a man who likes to try the warmth of a different woman's body every day" Jia said.
Liang screeched in disgust.
"If that's what I know, that's why I'm going to speed up the investigation for the prime minister to be overthrown"
"But don't you have other plans to overthrow the prime minister?" Jia asked confused by the change of plan.
"I changed my mind after seeing your mother's case and the people couldn't wait anymore" Liang explained.
The death of Jia's mother was the behavior of the prime minister and a concubine of the previous emperor, a month before Jia was born, his mother caught the Prime Minister and the concubine was mingling love, love, love, love, and love, ill-fated when he was about to leave his mother dropped a jade that only he had one and soon they found out that his mother was an eyewitness to the affair.
The Prime Minister pays people to kill his mother and manipulate as if his mother died from childbirth. Actually the plan was perfect, but Uncle Hong was a smart man so he soon learned of the murder.
And you know who killed his mother? That person was the sister of the Queen Mother and Uncle Liang who now served as Judge in court. Yep even though he has been converted but mistakes still have to be redeemed and this is the problem how they can uncover this while the Killer is a judge and is strongly supported by the people.

Now that it was late afternoon, Grandma Hong was still working on making the Celestial Silk Cloth assisted by Uncle Hong.
"Your Majesty, here rarely people have farm animals so I hope Your Majesty does not matter to just eat vegetables" Jia said.
"It doesn't matter to me" Liang replied.
Jia smiled in return. The two of them were now resting after previously collecting the materials of the Sky Silk Cloth and as Jia said that this village rarely had farm animals so they only ate vegetables.
"I understand the state of this village, although this village is quite a lot of residents but considering this village is on a hill and it is very likely that livestock can escape" Said Liang while putting food into the mouth.
"That's how Uncle Hong used to have a cow. But then somehow in the morning the cow was lost and the cage was damaged" Jia explained.
"You don't suspect there's a thief?"
"No, because once a resident saw for himself that livestock tried to escape by damaging the cage" Jia explained.
"I think because here surrounded by forests and the instinct of wanting to be free animals becomes bigger" said Liang.
Jia nodded in response and they immediately finished eating to go to sleep. Deployed tomorrow morning they must return to the Capital.

Jia lay comfortably on the bed and next to her Liang lay down, actually Liang was very restrained from pouncing on Jia.
Although they had slept in bed but Liang was still a Normal Man who would be passionate to a woman, Liang also could not ask for another room because considering this was not a palace that had many rooms.
"Your Majesty should I sleep somewhere else?" Jia asked who was aware of Liang's state.
"No, you're here" replied Liang strong-witted.
"Hamba knows His Majesty is holding back and I can't help either" Jia said.
But Liang remained steadfastly strong-witted, Finally Jia got up and walked towards the closet. He took something and handed it to Liang
"Your Majesty drink this! This will help you" Jia said. Liang who could not bear it immediately took the bottle containing herbs and gulped it down with a single gulp.
While Jia grinned mysteriously.
