The Journey of the Empress
Figuring Out

That afternoon, as Yuan requested. First Concubine returned to the palace with Minister Taio. 

"Greetings Your Majesty!"

"Sit down!" In front of Yuan now sat First Concubine and Minister Taio with a face full of greed.

"Does Minister Taio know?"

"Yes Your Majesty. The servant's daughter has already told everything, and the servant feels strongly in agreement!" Minister Taio smiled down with a proud smile.

"Good."

Yuan grinned, the old man in front of him was indeed greedy and greedy. If not for the sake of the kingdom and his beloved Yie Er, where Yuan's tutelage involved the elder bangka in front of him. Especially raising her level.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And regarding the bastard son of a servant, he agreed to it." 

"Hmm... Tell your bastard son to kill the Great Commander of Zilong!" 

Yuan grinned. His best friend and brother from Yie Er, the Great Commander of Zilong will die. He does not need to share the attention of his beloved Yie Er to his best friend. Because the attention, affection, and love of Yie Er was only for her. 

"And for you First Concubine, repair your reputation in front of the people of the Han Dynasty." Yuan.

"Your Majesty." First Concubine smiled, ignoring Yuan's strange grin, she chose to raise her head high. Soon she would become Empress, her path to becoming Empress would open without bother. After she became Empress, she would kill Yie Er and retake Yuan.

"And you're old bangka. Work overtime from now on. Zhen doesn't want to after your appointment later, Zhen's in trouble!" 

"Good-good Your Majesty!" Minister Taio bowed, thanking Yuan. Finally he was able to return in the important meeting of the Palace. 

First Concubine and Minister Taio left the Yuan residence. A face full of satisfaction appeared in the face of the father and son. 

"Why are you guys staying silent here?" Yie Er's loud speech made the 3 servants gasp in shock.

"Greetings Empress! I was watching First Concubine and Minister Taio enter His Majesty's room." Answer one of the servants bowed respectfully. 

"Yu Are, why did First Concubine return home with Minister Taio?" Yie Er glanced sharply at First Concubine and Minister Taio who were far ahead of her. Moreover, they came out of the Yuan residence. 

He must know what is being talked about inside. With his two servants at the moment, his movements were severely restricted.

"Just be useful Yu Are." Reply Yie Er stepped away with Rei Rei leaving Yu Are who had been transfixed.

Yie Er walked indeterminate directions, the arrival of First Concubine and Minister Taio to the Yuan residence disturbed his mind. What are they talking about, is Minister Taio now involved? And Yuan, is he up to something?

"Kits will pay a visit to His Majesty's residence!" 

Yie Er decided to go to the Yuan residence. He would ask Yuan directly, that was the only way. Because surely his spies did not catch the conversation in the Yuan residence. 

"Sir, we'll wait here!" Yu Are smiled as usual. Got a smile back from Yie Er. 

"Yie Er, are you feeling better?" 

Before Yie Er said his greetings, Yuan first got up from his seat. Walking over to Yie Er who was still at the door. Without a word brought Yie Er to sit on the chair she was sitting on earlier.

"Your Majesty, the arrival of this Empress has a purpose. This empress wants to ask?"

"Yes, just ask." 

Yie Er was silent, staring at Yuan who was also staring at him. Hopefully the man in front of him is not suspicious about his question. 

"What did First Concubine and Minister Taio's arrival mean to His Majesty's Residence? And what are you guys talking about?" 

Yie Er stared expectantly at Yuan. The man in front of him answered. Just like an Indian movie. What happened was that he had fallen in love following the Queen's feelings first to Yuan. 

Yuan stiffened, did Yie Er know about his plan by killing his Gege of Great Commander Zilong?  

"We're not talking about anything. It's just that Minister Taio wants to get back on duty at the palace." 

Yie Er looked at Yuan after goal. The man in front of her could not lie to her. There must be something to hide, that was not the intention of the arrival of First Concubine and Minister Taio. 

"Ah so. But isn't Minister Taio a low-level Minister. And the low-level minister should only do city-level tasks such as maintaining the prosperity of the villages in the city?

"Yes, you're right. But, Zhen lately felt the need for a little more manpower. So that Zhen could spend some time with Empress Zhen!" Yuan hugged Yie Er, slapping his head between those milky-white necks. Without seeing what he hugged. 

"Haha... is that it?" Yie Er's hand reluctantly returned Yuan's embrace. He was unwilling to make Yuan suspicious if he did not return his embrace.
