Sima rui's heart shriveled in pain, when he saw all the prajuri prostrate for his sake. Even so, it could not be denied that the feeling of haru also slipped into his heart. Their loyalty is proven, the soldiers who became his partner when defending and protecting the homeland turned out to be so loyal to him.
Sima Rui looked back at the queen mother, although her face looked flat but her eyes were sharp. He then pulled the sword on his waist and stuck it on the ground.
" I, Sima rui. The first prince as well as the main general of the Jin Empire refused the order of the queen mother... " Sima rui's momentary pause. Then he went back to his words. " .. To hand over military tokens. But as a proof that there was no rebellion, I would take off my armor and sword upon entering the palace. " And soon Sima rui's oversized clothes slipped off her body.
All the soldiers were stunned by Sima rui's actions. Even commander Jiang's hand was clenched firmly because he was so angry to see his role model being treated like that.
Instead of being happy, the queen mother actually smiled sneering at Sima rui's actions. Actually what he needed was Sima rui's military token, not the heartwarming drama he was watching right now.
" What's the reason you refused to hand over your military token prince? " Task the sharp queen mother.
Sima rui was already waiting for this question. Refrain from smiling. Sima rui steadily replied without taking his eyes off the woman with the status of the queen mother.
" For only the emperor has the right to take back my military token. " He took a scroll from under his shirt and opened it in front of the queen mother. He did not care if the woman could read it or not remember the distance between the two.
" It is clearly written here. That the military token can only be taken back by the Emperor. But if the emperor has died, then the control of the token is entirely left to me. "
" It's bullshit. Sima shao couldn't possibly make such an edict. " Sangkal the queen immediately. He believes that this is all Sima rui's plan.
" The Queen mother can check the authenticity of this decree. There is also a royal seal here. We all know that only the emperor holds the royal seal. " Take Sima rui. Then continue his words again. " In the presence of the Jin people, I can testify that this decree I hold is genuine. "
Sima rui from the beginning had deliberately led the people of Jin to follow him. He knew that the queen mother could not act rashly before them.
' Look at that angry face. I know you're cursing me right now. ' Inner sima rui.
Seeing that there was no chance of seizing the sima rui military token. So the queen mother chose to retreat, she would think about her next move.
" Open the gate. Let the first prince come in. " After saying her word, the Queen Mother turned around and hurried away.
And the big, sturdy gate was opened. Sima rui stepped in, but when commander Jiang behind him Sima rui was about to enter.
" The queen's order is only the first prince allowed in. "
Jiang almost burst into rage if Sima Rui did not stop him. Sima rui nodded at Jiang to have him obey what the guard said.
Jiang said, but his clenched hands channeled his anger because he could not beat the guard who forbade him.
The Queen mother threw away all the items on the table. In a short time, the reading room that was originally neatly arranged changed like a broken ship. He expressed his frustration and anger at Sima Rui's actions.
" Damn it! it turns out you've been anticipating this Sima shao. " Murmured the queen mother. He did not expect Sima shao to take such extreme measures in order to protect the military might of his kingdom.
Now that he knew the edict of the emperor. The choice to kill Sima shao became impossible. If he killed him, then Sima rui's military token would forever be his.
Prangs.
" DAMN! " This time an urn was subjected to the woman's rampage. Neither the eunuch nor the servant dared to approach. All could only pray with trembling bodies so as not to become the target of the queen mother's anger.
" Get out all of you. " Exdict the queen mother to the eunuch and her servant in a voice that sounded much quieter. And without waiting, quickly everything went away.
After everything was gone, a shadow came out from behind the curtain.
" The first prince went straight to his room. Then enter the eunuch and the servant in charge of serving him. And after that he did not come out of his room at all. "
The queen mother narrowed her eyes. He felt a little awkward on To mu's report.
" Are you sure he didn't do anything in his room? " Task the suspicious queen.
" I'm sorry Your Majesty, for not checking it out. "
" Go back and keep an eye on Sima rui. Then have your men keep looking for Sima Yan. Kill him after getting his military token. At least a quarter of the army of jinn in his hands should I get. " The queen's orders.
" good. " Tomu went straight away.
" Sima rui, let's see what you're up to. " Murmured the queen mother.
While elsewhere.
In her room, Sima rui looked at the five female servants standing in line in front of her. The eunuch who was driving them started talking.
" Your Majesty, those who will serve you take a bath. Please give orders if you need anything. " Sima rui felt an unusual tone from the eunuch's words.
Sima rui simply nodded, then began to notice one by one the women in front of him, scanning from top to bottom.
" Just you. I don't need anything else. " Show Sima rui to the fourth woman.
After the eunuch brought out to the four unselected girls. Sima rui and the waiter were just the two. Sima rui got up from his chair and walked towards the hot spring pool that was connected to his room.
Sima rui spread out her hands, a sign that the maid had started her task. The maid began to take off Sima rui's clothes and left only her thin trousers.
" Rub my back. " Sima rui's orders in a loud enough voice.
The servant frowned, but still rubbed his back.
" Someone's watching us. " Lirih Sima rui's.
The waiter nodded in response.
To mu who returned at the behest of the queen mother continued to pay attention to the interaction of Sima rui and the female servant from behind the tree. But he felt nothing suspicious. Even so, he kept watch according to the orders of the queen mother.
" It seems that the rat this time is not giving up. "wept Sima rui spoke.
The servant smiled but if seen clearly there was a bulge of anger on his forehead.
" So I have to rub your back until it's done, brother. " Whisper the waiter.
One corner of Sima rui's lips lifted. " Of course. When else would my back be rubbed by the crown prince. "
Sima yan clucked in annoyance. Upset having to wear women's clothes, and now she has to rub her brother's hard and burly back.
