The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #105

The next day, Empress An was with prince Rong to the tomb of mistress Xia, as today was the 7th day of her death.

Accompanied by Feng Ying, Aunt Hong was also Xia's family and Xiao's family, they brought fruits, cakes and food for her mistress Xia, they were also rice araak.

Arriving in front of Lady Xia's grave, empress An and prince Rong saluted in front of Lady Xia's tombstone.

Empress An poured rice figs into a small glass, then placed them in front of her mother's tombstone.

"Mother, after this Lin'er will no longer be a weak woman. Hopefully in the next life we can be a mother and a child again. And Lin'er promised Lin'er would take better care of her. So that Lin'er won't feel like losing mom for the third time."

For Empress An, losing a mother twice was enough. And he doesn't want to feel it anymore. His body might be strong enough to withstand all that, but his soul was not.

"At this time, I would have lived happily. You should live happily here too." Prince Rong said to Empress An.

"Okay, I understand."

After empress An and prince Rong paid their last respects to mistress Xia, they returned to the royal palace.

"Your highness, can I do something inside the palace?" Said empress An.

"What do you want to do?"

"Practicing martial arts. I feel if the martial arts that I have are not so good."

"Empress An, you......"

"Your Majesty, there are many people who want my life. And I know, if your majesty won't always be there to protect me. So I have to practice to protect myself and those close to me."

Prince Rong looked at his empress, her desire An was based on a very good reason. But she is currently an empress.

"Your Majesty, can I do that?" Said Empress An again.

"Alright, but you're not allowed to practice every day."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, your honor."

Prince Rong nodded, the reason Prince Rong agreed to Empress An's wishes was also so that Empress An could protect herself, while she and her two personal guards were busy, and no one was watching the empress An.

Arriving in front of the palace, Empress An got down from inside the horse carriage and together with prince Rong, they walked into their room.

"You haven't eaten anything before we left, do you want to eat something?" Prince Rong.

"No, I want to be in the room for today."

Prince Rong nodded, "Alright if it's like that. I'm going to the reading room, if you need anything, you can go there."

"Okay, I understand."

Prince Rong smiled, then walked away leaving Empress An inside the room with Feng Ying.

"Your majesty, is there something you want?" Said Feng Ying.

"True, the box I wanted yesterday. Please bring it here."

"Okay, I'll get it."

Empress An nodded.

Feng Ying quickly went to the side room, to pick up the box that empress An wanted yesterday.

"Your Majesty, this is the box you want." Said Feng Ying while giving the box away.

"Thank you, Feng Ying."

Empress An received the box and opened it, inside the box was a bottle of medicine she had made from special ingredients.

"I hope that with the help of this medicine, my body will get better."

Empress An took the bottle, "Feng Ying, you stay outside."

"Okay, your honor."

Feng Ying then turned around and walked out of Empress An's room.

After Feng Ying came out, Empress An opened the bottle and swallowed the one pill that was inside the bottle earlier.

Empress An then sat on the bed and tried to feel her inner power, focusing her mind as she did while strengthening her inner power in her previous life.

"The medicine I drank could only recover my body in half. I will ask Feng Ying to make a young rabbit soup with ginger." Said empress An.

Empress An walked into the side room to change clothes. Because he will directly train the inner power science that he has.

"I have had the science of step 1000, though it is not yet perfect. Now I will try the sword skills I have first." Said Empress An after changing clothes.

Empress An walked out of the room wearing men's clothing.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why are you wearing clothes like this?" Said Feng Ying in surprise.

"Feng Ying, make me a young rabbit soup with two large gingerbread. Boil the soup for 1 hour."

"Soup a young rabbit with ginger?"

"Yes, do it now. And take that soup to the backyard."

"Okay, your honor."

Empress An nodded then walked towards the backyard, carrying a sword belonging to prince Rong that was placed inside their room.

Feng Ying who saw the change in empress An, felt surprised yet also happy. Because finally, empress An came back like before.

The servants passed by Empress An whispered to each other, but Empress An did not respond. Right now he only wanted to strengthen himself first, so that later he could help prince Rong.

...----------------...

News of the prime minister having so many fields and wealth secretly stored away began to spread in the capital.

The people were certainly in an uproar over this news, and they stared at the residence of the prime ministers with dislike gazes as well as whispering to each other.

Lkvaang!

"How can news of the wealth I have the greatest in the capital! Who would dare to do it?" Said one of the prime ministers.

"Although sir, the news spread very quickly this morning. Even the news had already been heard of leaving another city outside the capital."

"What!"

The prime minister clenched his hands together, if this news was heard and evidence of land ownership and wealth fell into the hands of the emperor, it was certain that everything he had gained all this time would be lost.

"Hurry up, find out who's behind all this!" The prime minister called on his bodyguard.

"Good sir."

The bodyguard went to do the prime minister's order.

"S*alan! Actually who did this. Could it... This is all that noble prince Rong did?" Said the prime minister.

Tap tap tap

"Master, sir!"

The prime minister turned his head and saw his wife walking quickly towards him.

"What's wrong? What the hell's been going on?" The prime minister.

"Master, how is this? I can't get out of the house. People are staring at our homes and they're talking about our families."

"Has it come to that? Just overnight, this news had already spread throughout the capital."

"True sir, it's not just our family. I heard from our servant, if the prime minister's family who opposed Empress An also got the same thing as us."

"What did you say? All the prime ministers who oppose Empress An are also experiencing the same thing that we are experiencing?"

The prime minister's wife nodded, "True sir, right now they can't get out of their house either."

"If it had been like this, the greatest possibility would have been prince Rong who had done so. He wanted everyone who opposed his empress to receive punishment from him."

"Master, how now?"

"I'm going to see some of those prime ministers, you and the others stay home."

"Good sir."

The prime minister then walked out of his room, his firmer jaw showing him so furious at this incident.
