The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 148 - Not an ordinary noble

A year had passed, no more attacks from the tall man.

the Peach flower Pavilion.

Zhi Yuan had only learned the mind-capping technique from the old dedengkot-giving book, and occasionally fought with the actual bracelet spirit Zhou Lu Zi, to relieve his loneliness.

"Why do you always bother me? I won't talk to you again!" yelled irritatedly at the spirit bracelet on Zhi Yuan's head.

Zhi Yuan only smiled, and his smile disappeared as Bai Fang brought a woman in from the side door and Zhi Yuan was so familiar with the woman.

"Yun May? Bai Fang why are you bringing guests to this Pavilion? this is the first rule that should not be broken" said Zhi Yuan.

"Initially I thought so too, but if our guest brought this, no one would dare to refuse him, and also could you call me big brother Bai again," bai Fang said showing the badge that belonged to the Queen Mother that was in Yun Mei's hand.

Zhi Yuan frowned, recognized a badge from the Queen Mother, and began to think that the young lady before him was no ordinary noble, the young man tidied up the sleeves of his broad robe saluting Yun Mei,

"Miss, forgive the gibberish I just said, I really don't recognize you" Zhi Yuan said.

Yun Mei smiled and surrounded Zhi Yuan triumphantly her index finger tapping her chin several times like she was thinking.

"hemmm... well, as your apology, you certainly don't mind playing with me, do you?" ask Yun Mei.

Zhi Yuan's eyes stared at Bai Fang with a deadly gaze making Bai Fang not dare to look at Zhi Yuan. Zhi Yuan smiled full of bitterness.

"Of course Miss, we will serve you to play until satisfied," said Zhi Yuan.

"aaahhhh, this is so much fun," muttered Yun Mei and several of the maids and maids came in carrying food, Bai Fang started playing the lute and Zhi Yuan prepared a drink for the woman.

After the dark sky had finished playing, it appeared that Bai Fang was cleaning himself up and Yun Mei was sitting alone with Zhi Yuan.

"it's so unpleasant, can you act like that night, and be honest with me" Yun Mei said.

Zhi Yuan looked at Yun Mei,

"I will do it, but the lady will definitely be bored" Zhi Yuan said,

"Just do it!" yun Mei said as if she did not care.

Zhi Yuan took out his beloved urn and gulped down its contents,

"Say little girl, how did you get that scary badge?" zhi Yuan asked made Yun Mei laugh out loud,

"guess what!" yun Mei said, and thrust the cup towards Zhi Yuan.

Zhi Yuan shook his head, while pouring his drink,

"i don't have time to play guessing" said Zhi Yuan, and the two began to enjoy the contents of Zhi Yuan's urn.

"Zhi Yuan, I like you, can't you just glance at me as a little mature woman, am I so unattractive in your eyes?" yun Mei.

"Miss Yun, you are so beautiful, with a face like yours you can get anyone, but my heart already belongs to another woman" Zhi Yuan said.

Yun Mei lowered her head, her tears just came out, Zhi Yuan's fingers wanted to stroke the woman's hair so as not to be too sad but to undo her intentions, because it could have been misinterpreted by the woman.

"Say Miss, you know for yourself I'm bound to this place, I'm not sure I can keep that promise" Zhi Yuan said.

Yun Mei nodded, though,

"I can't stand this pain, can you pretend to be my lover, so my heart will be a little comforted, and if the moment comes when I'll let you go,and don't tell anyone because if anyone knows it will hurt my feelings so much, and I look so low begging for love to a man" Yun Mei said.

"Miss, is that possible?" ask Zhi Yuan.

"promise!" said Yun Mei looking at Zhi Yuan seriously.

Zhi Yuan nodded, though,

"All right I promise," said Zhi Yuan.

Yun Mei exhaled deeply, looking so relieved her fingers held onto Zhi Yuan's fingers while blushing.

"Miss Yun? Brother Zhi what are you doing?" said someone who already looked so neatly out of the room in the peach pavilion.

"Let's guess!" yun Mei said not to let go of Zhi Yuan's fingers, Bai Fang shook his head like he did not understand.

"This beautiful lady is now my lover," Zhi Yuan said and pulled the woman's waist against her, leaving Yun Mei a little surprised and rebellious, saying,

"Zhi Yuan, get off! I was so embarrassed," Yun Mei said pretending to be struggling, but her face looked so happy.

"sister Zhi are you crazy, we are comfort men, you can't do something like this" Bai Fang said.

Yun Mei shook the Queen Mother's badge, making Bai Fang close her eyes and run towards Yun Mei, and tried to hold onto the woman's fingers and separate the two's grasp, respectively, however the woman dodged while jumping on Zhi Yuan's sling, and tightly hugged the young man.

"Miss Yun, I love you more than this half-mute brat," Bai Fang said in a very annoyed manner.

It had been a year Yun Mei pretended to be Zhi Yuan's lover, making the woman look so happy, every month the woman always paid a visit to the peach flower pavilion, she said, even occasionally they went out to enjoy the atmosphere of the capital.

*****

The death of the Emperor was almost two years old, the palace gradually began to stabilize, it was just that the death of the Emperor was still a mystery, and people started to forget about the incident, returning to their respective routines.

The crown prince who was now 18 years old became a wise Emperor, but his condition was so alarming after being exposed to the poison from the Qing Fan prince, the current Emperor could not take too long to think, so almost everything was helped by Empress Dowager Zhou Lu Zi.

The presence of Zhou Lu Zi in the grand hall and the running of the government made a new change, those pretty eyes were able to bare every dirty intention of his ministers, some of them had to be in prison, the, and the woman will immediately see the judicial process and beheading that always makes her look excited.

And that day that woman was about to preside over such a large gathering, the Emperor sitting at the top of the stage looked pale, pale, accompanied by a Queen who looks so innocent and is no more than 16 years old, both look not wrinkled in front of ministers who look senior.

But the atmosphere suddenly became tense as Zhou Lu Zi so gracefully entered the grand hall, those officials seemed to stop breathing, because the woman did not hesitate to open the disgrace of officials who want to try to suppress power.

And this is seen when the defense minister questions about the declining quality of weapons, and the morale of soldiers who are getting worse because the Emperor is considered never to go down to encourage military headquarters.

Zhou Lu Zi was seen propping up his chin with one hand, and watching the fingers of his left hand's fingernails, he said, and suddenly kicked off the back of his singasana as the minister increasingly blatantly insinuated the new Emperor was a man of little concern for the military.

The defense minister stopped talking, and his gulp stared at his allied ministers to help him, but no one spoke as Zhou Lu Zi's eyes stared deeply at the old minister.

"Cautious defence minister, already king, wanting to be god, unmitigated greed often leads us to doom, a few months ago you appointed your nephew to be a senior military official, I heard he was close to the Choe family who wanted to be the arms supplier to this palace again, ten years ago the defeat of the war on the west side due to the weak quality of the weapons of the Choe family, he said, I have not punished your mistakes in this matter" Zhou Lu Zi said, making the defense minister kneel with his forehead touching the floor, and followed with several ministers who became his allies.
