The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 409 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
Nan Empire.
Chaos is happening in the kingdom. After Jingu's disguise and his crimes are revealed. Not only the Jin Kingdom, the Shu kingdom also stopped their entire cooperation with the Nan Kingdom. Of course what the Shu Kingdom did to Arthur's interference. And it managed to make the Nan Empire ketar ketir.
" How can the Shu kingdom also decide on cooperation with us? quickly explain it to me! " Shouted emperor Nan, his anger booming throughout the court hall. The whole office suddenly turned mute.
A brave Minister came forward ignoring his trembling legs.
" His Majesty replied, reportedly emperor Shu has a good relationship with one of the wealthiest nobles there. Not only that, he always listened to his advice. Coincidentally the noble had a good relationship with the Emperor and the Jin queen. "
" Then what does that have to do? why is that the reason the Shu kingdom has stopped all cooperation with our kingdom? "
The minister was getting trembling, cold sweat started seeping on his back. Hoping that what he would say would not be considered nonsense by the number one person in the Nan Empire.
" The news that I heard because of such close relations, the nobleman regarded the daughter of Queen Jin as his children. Therefore, he did all this to avenge the death of the crown prince of Jin, Your Majesty. "
" IT'S BULLSHIT! " Emperor Nan's shout made the minister jump in shock.
And sure enough, emperor Nan actually thought of it as nonsense.
" Even though their relationship is good, considering the other person's child as their own child is not excessive. Really joke. What nobleman is impotent to be unable to have children of his own and even recognize the children of others. "
Basically Emperor Nan was a bad person, no wonder if his mouth was dirty. If Arthur knew he was impotent, he would probably be vomiting blood because of emotion.
Crown Prince Nan looked at his father who started to say vulgarly as he advanced.
" Dad, please calm down. I will persuade emperor Shu to rethink his decision. "
Unlike his power-hungry father, the crown prince was much wiser. The man who was the same age as Sima Rui was still loyal to his position as crown prince after decades. The elderly Emperor Nan was reluctant to abdicate and still retained power and acted arbitrarily.
" What are you gonna do? do you think your stupid words are useful to convince them? " The subject to the crown prince. Emperor Nan also smiled sinisterly at him.
As if accustomed, the crown prince only considered his father's harsh words as a passing wind.
He said again, "We wouldn't know if I hadn't tried. There is no other way but to persuade them. If we fight them with our current condition, it is definitely only a defeat that we will get. "
Emperor Nan clucked in dislike as he was again reminded of the current weakness of their military might.
" Ck. it's up to you. Do as you wish. Make sure this way works. At least it proves you deserve to be crown prince. If you fail then just step back from your position. I still have a lot of kids who can replace you. " Emperor Nan did not care if his words offended the crown prince.
" Today's meeting is over. " Earlier Emperor Nan got up and left the hall.
Several ministers supporting the crown prince comforted him one by one. They actually did not like the way emperor Nan ruled and hoped that the old man would soon abdicate. But there's nothing they can do. They were too afraid to offend the emperor, cowards indeed. It was absolute power in the hands of the emperor. They still love their lives and their families.
" Thank you for your support. I hope that Emperor Shu will reconsider cooperation with us. " Hope the Crown Prince to the ministers beside him.
It was not without reason that crown prince Nan said so. No one thought that in his head was a plan that would make the cooperation back but also at the same time make the father descend from the throne. If emperor Nan was a tyrant, then the crown prince was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

" Daughter, does your chest still hurt? " A healer asked just checked on A Fei.
As soon as he woke up in the morning, A Fei felt a tightness in his chest. He had no trouble breathing, only his chest was painful
A Fei nodded answering the healer's question. And then I said, "here. " Sign it at the area where he feels pain. His position was exactly the same where he stabbed Jingu.
" It feels pain. Yesterday I didn't feel anything at all, but this morning it suddenly hurt. " Next tell.
The physician heard A Fei's explanation then nodded occasionally while holding his long beard.
Immediately the healer checked A Fei's pulse. The complicated expression of being confused there was nothing wrong with that. Then, he asked about A Fei's daily life yesterday, what he did and also what he ate. Again, nothing unusual was found.
The old healer's brain thought hard. Honestly, he himself did not know the cause of A Fei's pain. But as the head physician of the palace, there was no way he said he did not know.
" It seems like the princess is just too tired and exposed to the night wind, which is why the blood circulation around the heart becomes not smooth. That was also why the princess felt pain. " Clearly the original physician but very convincing.
The doctor cleared his throat, turning his brain to think. " We don't have to be physically tired, princess. Tired of mind can also. Could it be that lately the princess had too many thoughts? if that is true, please forget for a moment the problem so that your body does not stress. "
Makes sense. A Fei felt that this explanation was more convincing according to his current problem. The burden of the mind, maybe that's the reason for his pain.
Before leaving, the healer prescribed a tonic to increase A Fei's stamina. Xiao Er immediately prepared the tonic. It boiled it itself. Not because of lack of work, he just does not believe if others do it. Learning from Jingu's incident, Xiao Er became even more cautious.
" I feel like a decrepit woman when it comes to drinking this tonic. " His grunts were so finished finishing the tonic in his hands.
" It's not just the decrepit women who drink this, princess. Most married women also sometimes drink this to increase their stamina in serving their husbands in bed. "
Both of A Fei's brows furrowed deeply as if it was capable of making a dead mosquito pinch. His face was also growing more and more pouted.
" I am a widow. Who do you think I should serve. " A Fei said. " You can't say it hurts any more. "
If it was another servant, it would probably be frightened to think A Fei was angry. But not with Xiao Er. He can tell which one is really angry with which is just a joke.
" I think even though you are a widow, there are still many men waiting in line to marry you, daughter. So what if you're a divorced woman? "
A Fei clucked. " Married? I don't want to marry another trashy man. They only see my status not love me. Pursue a prosperous life without having to bother. Don't you remember the girls' chat that night. They think of me as a worn-out shoe that is not worth wearing. So how can there be a man who really wants to marry me without seeing my status as a princess. "
He suddenly recalled Jingu, and it made his chest ache again. The pain slowly disappeared again.
" You know, there's actually good luck with this widow's status. Because of this status, it made the men who used to want to ask for my hand reduced by half. At least I don't have to bother to sort out those who are lined up wanting to propose to me. Men who have absolutely no heart. "
Actually A Fei said this sentence as a mockery to himself. As if to show that there is no man who is sincere to him. Jingu was no exception, A Fei believed the man also loved him but was tucked into a veiled intent.
A Fei returned to venting mode. Where Xiao Er must faithfully listen.
Long before marrying Li Chenlan, many sons of nobles and officials were intent on proposing to A Fei, even though he already had a marriage agreement with the Wei kingdom. It does not make the men desperate. They thought that just because Wei was a small kingdom, the treaty could be broken at any time.
" But you can't keep it like this princess. The Emperor and Queen must be very worried about you. They also hoped that the princess could marry and have a family like the crown prince. "
Xiao Er remembered something, then he approached and whispered. " I just heard this and I think at least you should know the princess. "
" What? "
" There is a rumor that says that what happened to you because of the karma of His Majesty the Emperor who always rejected women and did not hesitate to hurt those who were desperate to do away. It is said that there was even one woman who had to experience shame and was forced to be exiled by her family after the incident. "
" What other ridiculous rumor is that? " While angry that his father was considered the source of his misfortune, A Fei was still curious and forced Xiao Er to return to the story.
With the volume of the voice very slowly, Xiao Er spoke again. "So..daughter are you okay? " Xiao Er panicked when suddenly A Fei groaned while holding his chest.
A Fei felt pain again. This time it really hurt.
At the same time but a different place.
Jingu who was still unconscious suddenly had a seizure.
" Granny Wu what happened to the prince? " Task bodyguard Jingu in a panic.
" Stop asking. You better shut up because it's interrupting my concentration. "
Jingu's wound turned out to be inflamed and it made his body temperature rise. Because the temperature was too high to make him convulsions. After giving pain medication and heat-lowering. Jingu's body temperature gradually dropped.
" It's better. The prince's body temperature has also dropped. "
" Why can the prince's wounds be inflamed? does the medicine you gave me not work, Grandma Wu? then will the prince return to convulsions? "
Grandma Wu rolled her eyeballs, this time she had the urge to sew the nagging mouth of Jingu's subordinate.
" Nobody thinks you're mute even if you don't speak. So stop asking because it makes my ears ring. "
As if having inner contact, the pain in A Fei's chest also slowly dissipated.
