A few years later.......
The Imperial Palace had a considerable harem under Emperor Wu Jing Ren. Empress Wen Xi Meng gave birth to a son from her womb named Jiang Zhi. Eight concubines gave birth to sons and daughters who were in total about 12 children.
Crown Prince Jiang Zhi occupied the first position as the future heir to the Emperor's throne. Empress Wen Xi Meng has struggled to maintain her position as Empress in recent years.
Without the support of the family in accordance with the agreement that has been determined to make it confusing. Wen He Lei's presence for years could not be found. The Lou family's position was increasing in the government despite having no children.
"What are you saying! " angry Emperor.
"Do you want me to be known as the bastard Emperor! " he said angrily to one of his mentors.
One of the Ministers proposed the Emperor to replace Wen Xi Meng as Empress.
"Your Majesty. The Empress had no support in the government. If things continue, the influential extended family in the capital will act"
Emperor Wu Jing Ren took a deep breath trying to calm his emotion-stricken self.
"Do you want Wu's country to remain? " ask the Emperor.
Everyone nodded in agreement to the question from the Emperor.
"If you want this country to exist. Then you should never mention the decline of the Empress' position. Have you forgotten where the Empress came from? " said the Emperor.
Everyone was silent bowing their heads no one dared to raise their heads looking at the leader of the country. Everyone was aware that the poison valley college was part of the nine martial world powers that could not be offended easily. Empress Wen Xi Meng surnamed Wen was one of the three clans that led and had influential power in the poison valley college. Now the Wen clan is the leader of the poison valley college that makes the Empress have an extraordinary identity when everyone looks from the public eye.
"Don't think you can fool me so easily, "Inner Emperor
Emperor Wu Jing Ren had for many years maintained the position of Empress to Wen Xi Meng. In accordance with his promise to the Wen family that his daughter would remain in the position of Empress.
"The capital's great family has existed since the country was founded. The Lou family has my daughter as their daughter-in-law. The damned territory is my territory. The Empress has the support of your blessing. Did Your Majesty turn a blind eye to the existence of the capital's great family? " said King Jin.
Everyone's attention turned to King Jin. The Emperor looked at King Jin with a probing glance. Everyone knew that the capital's extended family stood as the buttress of Wu's country. The Imperial Family though was required to respect the capital's extended family. In recent years thanks to King Jin, the Lou family has darted from its slump to the number one family in the capital.
"What King Jin said was true, Yang Mulua had to look at them"
Everyone whispered a discussion confirming the statement from King Jin.
"Shut up! " snapsed Emperor.
"The position of Empress remains that of Wen Xi Meng! My decision has been unanimous, "said the Emperor.
"Never forget this country exists because of them. The bloodline you are proud of will only be a joke if there is no support from them in forming the country. Remember, the government and the martial world are different things" said King Jin.
"Are you willing to endure their anger? " ask the Emperor.
"Could not, I try to be able to. But are you willing to endure the rebellion? " said King Jin.
"You're outrageous!! " angry Emperor.
"Command King Jin to exit the hall!! " the Emperor's order is blaring.
Several soldiers surrounded King Jin as instructed by the Emperor. The hand threw the soldier.
"Remember. This country will be destroyed not from the outside, but from the inside. I want you to promise me, said King Jin.
" What promise do you want? "asked Emperor.
"If you are aware of the truth of my words, then you must ensure that the Lou family's bloodline and the three cities of my followers are not to be touched by your descendants. If you break it, then if I die I will never let you go! " said King Jin.
"How dare you threaten me! " angry Emperor.
The Emperor was working on the files with restraint of emotions. The Supreme Counsel saluted.
"Your Majesty must take care of your health" said the Supreme Counselor.
The Grand Counselor gave a bowl of medicine to the Emperor that was only avenged by an empty wind.
"Do you think King Jin has gone mad against me openly? " ask the Emperor.
"Hamba feels King Jin has a certain motive" replied the Grand Counselor.
"King Jin was never young or old. Everyone thought that he was a half-God. The Wu Empire was formed apart from the support of a large family, it was King Jin who helped the expansion of the territory. What does it mean to remove Wen Xi Meng from the Empress' seat, "the Emperor said.
"It is likely that King Jin knew something and could not move further because under someone's supervision, "the Supreme Counsel expressed his opinion.
"Knowing something and not being able to move freely? What kind of enemy King Jin warned me about"the inner Emperor.
The Empress Palace looked calm and serene from the outside. In recent years there has been no more movement than Wen Xi Meng due to the various pressures she has received.
" Your Majesty, the Emperor orders you to come to his room, "the servant of the Emissary.
"Go, I'll be there, " replied Wen Xi Meng.
The Emperor's emissary's servant resigned after delivering a message from the Emperor. Wen Xi Meng looked fresher with the lip dye she had just worn.
"I wonder, what happened in the meeting room earlier, " said Wen Xi Meng.
Wen Xi Meng stood up from her dressing chair out of the room which was then followed by several palace servants. The surroundings around the Emperor's office were very calm. The guard lowered his head respectfully without speaking.
"Your Majesty, " said Wen Xi Meng.
"Sit down, " said the Emperor.
Wen Xi Meng obeyed the Emperor's words to sit down.
"I believe in you no matter what happens" said the Emperor.
"What happened in the meeting room? " ask Wen Xi Meng.
"The Minister wants you to step down from the Empress position. King Jin added to the argument that you have no support in the government. King Jin said that even though you came from the Wen family part of the poison valley college, but the world of government and martial arts is different. King Jin asked me to promise him that one day if I knew the truth, then I should not touch the Lou family lineage and its followers, "the Emperor said explaining his uneasiness.
"And he brought up the fact that this country was established because of the support of the capital's extended family and King Jin who expanded the territory of the state of Wu" the Emperor said.
"Does King Jin know anything about me? And this was related to the disappearance of He Lei" inner Wen Xi Meng.
"Everyone doesn't look at me as Empress even King Jin himself. But I'm not going to make things worse by reporting what happened to Dad. You must be dizzy thinking about the pressure from the capital's extended family, "reply Wen Xi Meng.
"You understand about me. I will maintain the position of Empress for you to view your father's status as the leader of the poison valley college" the Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, may I ask for something?" asked Wen Xi Meng.
"What do you want? " ask the Emperor.
"I want to choose a personal servant and eunuch for me personally, " replied Wen Xi Meng.
"Easim Cang and the Chief Servant of the palace will arrange it for you" said the Emperor.
"Thank you." replied the Empress.
