The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 143 - Yangzheng Palace.

a few days after the Emperor's engagement,

The Chun Yan Pavilion.

The door to the guest room of honor opened, Zhi Yuan stepped slowly staring, two women sitting face to face, a ring was located on the table before them, the young man knelt down and saluted with a forehead almost touching the wooden floor in the room, and the woman sitting in the place of honor nodded, yet full of vexed faces.

"Your Majesty Suri what does this mean?" ask Counselor Ming.

"Counselor, you know very well the meaning of the ring," said Suri's mother raising her face towards Zhi Yuan who was just kneeling.

Counselor Ming took a slow breath, as if he could not believe the wishes of the person before him.

Her Highness Suri's mother should not in the rest of your life do more useful things," said Counsel Ming was already unable to contain his anger.

"pretty!! Counselor you do not need to advise me on what is useful and not, from today your servant will be part of Yangzheng Palace," Suri's mother widened her eyes to look at Counselor Ming.

Counselor Ming smiled angrily as he showed his docked teeth,

"Suri's mother, I know you from being a child, you better stop, after all she's an assassin, and no longer a virgin" Ming said.

suri's mother stood up, and made Councillor Ming be forced to stand up slightly, bowing,

"experienced? it'll be more fun, this talk is over, it's good if you know me from childhood, so you know very well my nature" Suri's mother said and stepped up, paused for a moment before Zhi Yuan who was just staring straight ahead.

"You'll feel what it's like to be the lowest part of a man" the Queen Mother said and exited the special room of the guest of honor.

Counselor Ming placed his palm on the table, and within seconds the table was reduced to ashes, and left burning remains hovering around him, and a ring that fell on the floor and slipped before Zhi Yuan.

"Receive the ring, and accept the destiny you have made yourself" Ming said.

Zhi Yuan picked up the ring on the floor, and stared at it intently,

"What's this?" ask Zhi Yuan.

"That will make you one of the inhabitants of Yangzheng Palace, a palace within this palace, for some people it is heaven, but a small part considers it hell" said Counsel Ming.

"The palace in the palace? I don't understand," said Zhi Yuan staring at his master who folded his hands under his huge mountain, like looking for a way out.

"Well, Yangzheng Palace is not real, only 10 percent of the inhabitants of this palace know of its existence, a reality that has never been recorded in any history, but this is there, this is the dark side or disgrace that is so secretive" Counsel Ming said.

Zhi Yuan opened his lips in annoyance at the increasingly puzzling remark of Counselor Ming.

"Mrs, can we speak only in male!" zhi Yuan said because the woman's speech was too swirling for the purpose of her conversation.

Counselor Ming nodded,

Zhi Yuan swallowed the saliva that was like it was stuck, his fingers docked full of death energy, Councillor Ming felt the anger of the young man.

"This must be wrong, how could such a noble Empress Dowager have such a shameful thing like this," muttered Zhi Yuan.

"haha.... Your majesty? you sound like you're not human, listen to me carefully, Suri's mother is considered a holder of glory, loyalty, majesty, and she is considered the mother of all women, she said, yet he was still a human being who still had lust, and the Emperor's widow was usually so beautiful and extremely dangerous when cooperating with many of the Empire's male officials, he said, so in order to avoid things that were not desired then the Empire gave her a special service, and it was Yangzheng Palace, many of the Queen Mothers who rejected this servant, yet some accepted her, and some accepted her, when the Queen Mother died all that her comfort man would burn to go with him, there would be no evidence of life spreading out, he said, this will remain the darkest secret that cannot be proven to be true at any time" Ming said.

"Mrs... Please give your orders? other than suicide I will do whatever you tell me to do, and please free me from this humiliation" Zhi Yuan said.

Counselor Ming frowned, and shook his head.

"I know you're not a perverted young man, though impure, you have the blood of an assassin who still has little honor, and about my orders? now hide all your identities, don't fight before your point of death, do whatever the Queen Mother asks you to do until I find the best way to trade you back, "Secretary Ming said.

Zhi Yuan was still full of anger, the young man closed his eyes trying to catch his breath.

"Suri's mother still holds a grudge against you, you've killed her lover, although for whatever reason she will still hate you, but be calm! I heard that the Queen Mother is not sleeping with her comfort man, so now go!" said Counselor Ming, and waving his hand made the door behind Zhi Yuan open, some of the maids of the Empress Dowager were already preparing to drag Zhi Yuan by covering the young man's face.

****

Two months had already passed in Yangzheng Palace

A small palace behind the Moon Pavilion, the palace had three very beautiful pavilions around it, the Chrysanthemum flower pavilion was the favorite flower of Suri's mother, the Fushia Flower Pavilion, and the, and lastly the Peach blossom Pavilion. Each of those Pavilions had two comforting men and they were always competing for the attention of the Queen Mother, as it would gain many advantages.

"Sister Zhi you're so stupid, you can barely do anything, other than your beautiful looks. How can you be the darling of Her Majesty the Queen Mother if you are still at level 1, aahh... Our peach blossom pavilion will always be the laughingstock of his other pavilions" said Bai Fang, a 22-year-old man.

The man looked quite handsome, despite not having any charisma at all. Lips that are so thin with a slim body and look always pay attention to the clothes worn, making her never counted in the struggle for the attention of the Queen Mother.

"Zhi's sister... Why don't you ever talk?" said the young man and saw that Zhi Yuan was just speechless making him look desperate,

"Forget it, I've only been so smart for five years at only level 3, and never been summoned, why should I share the Pavilion with this useless brat," said the man kept getting angry while fixing his clothes in front of the mirror.

Zhi Yuan only looked at the man scolding him, though,

"Do you think I care?" inner Zhi Yuan shook his head.

"It's time, you better not make a mistake, this is a test for you, and after that we'll get a vacation, quickly comb your hair first!!" the man looked increasingly angry.

Zhi Yuan frowned, he frowned,

"Are we going to Suri's mother?" ask Zhi Yuan.

"Can't you read? only level 3 entertainers can serve the Queen Mother, with our abilities, the queen mother will kill us before finishing one song, now we will learn to take out the charisma of a real man," said the man and pulled Zhi Yuan's hand to follow him.
