The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #123

Araaaang!

"How dare that woman, she is just a child of the former prime minister. But it's very brave to say that to me." Said the woman with annoyance.

All this time he had been very fond of prince Rong and hoped that when he returned from the border, prince Rong who had helped him first, would see and be interested in him.

But when he arrived at the capital, he actually heard that the royal palace would hold a party for the queen's pregnancy from Prince Rong.

"Your majesty, how could you choose such a weak woman, and not see me who is always at the forefront of every war?" Say that woman again.

Both of his hands clenched firmly, recalling how gentle Prince Rong had been treating Empress An a few months ago.

Braaaaac!

"I should be able to attract the attention of prince Rong, and immediately get rid of that Empress An from the prince Rong's side." Say that woman again.

So very visible were the eyes of the two women who were filled with an aura of hatred for Empress An.

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

In the afternoon, Feng Ying secretly met Prince Rong in the reading room, to tell her about the incident this afternoon, because Feng Ying was sure that Empress An would not tell Prince Rong, if a woman comes and scolds her.

"He said that Empress An had bullied me when she hadn't returned?" Prince Rong.

"Yes, your honor. I heard clearly what the woman said, for she said quite loudly to Empress An."

Prince Rong was speechless, if what Feng Ying said was true. So there was only one woman who dared to say that to Empress An for being his wife.

"All right, I'll take care of that woman. You stay by the empress." Prince Rong.

"Okay, your honor."

Feng Ying bowed her body then walked out of prince Rong's reading room.

Meanwhile Prince Rong stared out the window, and it was seen that he was clenching both palms.

"It's very clear I said, if I don't like it. And I also wouldn't care what he would do. But, it seems like she is starting to dare towards me by disturbing Empress An." Prince Rong.

Prince Rong stood up and threw a small stone out the window, and instantly Xiao Li appeared in front of prince Rong.

"Your majesty."Xiao Li said as he saluted.

"You watch Mei Huang. Don't let him come back near my palace."

"What do you mean by noble is, Mei Huang the head of the army at the northern border?"

"True, a few months ago he came back for a few days, and now he has come back again. This afternoon he met Empress An and said something beyond his limits to the empress."

"Hamba heard that he had long liked the noble. Perhaps because his majesty did not care about him and he considered the noble kindness as something else, he increasingly liked the noble and wanted to know more about the noble."

" I don't care if he has liked me for a long time or not. I just don't want anyone to interfere with my life and that of Empress An."

"Okay, your honor. The servant will do what his majesty has commanded the servant."

Prince Rong nodded.

Xiao Li then saluted Prince Rong and went to perform the task.

"I never expected that he would dare to meet Lin'er, and say things that would make Lin'er misunderstand me." Prince Rong.

Prince Rong walked out of his reading room and into his room, wanting to see what the empress was doing right now.

After arriving inside the room, Prince Rong felt that the room was very cool. Then he saw a container with water in it, because the originally large ice cubes had melted away.

"It looks like he's overheating, should I make a few more windows inside this room?" Prince Rong said slowly.

Prince Rong walked around a bed cover, and saw his empress who was still sleeping soundly.

"He slept very well, as if he had never been to someone who yelled at him." Prince Rong said again.

Slowly Prince Rong rubbed the face of Empress An who looked so calm, then rubbed the stomach of Empress An who was already quite large.

"May you and our son always be okay. I will punish anyone who has made you uncomfortable, because I will make them also feel uncomfortable living in this world."

Prince Rong stood up and walked to the side room to clean himself up.

And right after prince Rong entered the side room, both of Empress An's eyes opened and stared at the room.

"I may seem unconcerned, but he has made me feel bad. And I'm sorry, because before you do anything to her, I'll do a little blow to that woman."

Empress An lay longer on her bed, although both her eyes were wide open, but she still refused to get out of bed.

Kraaa

The sound of the door rang out, and empress An was certain that it was Feng Ying.

" Feng Ying." Said empress An.

"Yes, your highness. I'm here."

"Come and help me."

"Okay, your honor."

Feng Ying walked over then moved the bed cover to the side of the room.

"Your majesty, are you sleeping well?" Said Feng Ying.

"Yes, I slept pretty well."

Feng Ying nodded, she felt relieved hearing that. And after helping Empress An sit by the side of the bed, Feng Ying brought her the warm tea she had just brought from the palace kitchen.

"Thank you."

Empress An received the tea and drank it slowly.

"Has noble prince Rong not come out yet?"

(I mean get out of the side room)

"Yet, your honor."

Empress An nodded, "Alright, then you make some tea with ginseng for her."

"Okay, your honor."

Feng Ying immediately walked out of Empress An's room to make the ginseng tea that Empress An wanted. While Empress An waited for Prince Rong to finish.

"Your majesty, someone brought you food." Said the waiter outside the room.

Empress An who heard that was astonished, "Bring here."

"Okay, your honor."

Kraaaaac

The door opened and the waiter came inside with a box wrapped in red cloth.

"Who sent the food?" Said empress An.

"He said if this food was from the noble princess's palace."

"From the noble palace of the princess?"

"Yes, your honor."

"Was he wearing that palace maid outfit?"

"I'm sorry my noble servant, I don't remember the clothes he was wearing."

Empress An stared at the box wrapped in red cloth, "Open it, I want to see what food is inside."

"Okay, your honor."

The waiter placed the box he was carrying on the table and opened it. After it opened, the maid took a few steps back.

Empress An looked at the food on the table, and took the food with chopsticks.

"Take me the brown box." Said Empress An while pointing at a box that was on the other table.

The servant walked over and took the box that Empress An meant, and gave it to Empress An.

Empress An opened the box and took out a silver needle the size of a spoon, then stirred the food with the needle in her hand.

And just a matter of seconds, the needle turned pitch-black.

The servant who was standing not far from Empress An was shocked when he saw the discoloration on the needle that was in the hands of empress An.

Bruuuk

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I can't tell you who the waiter brought the food box for you." Said the servant while kneeling before Empress An.

"I can understand, if you don't know who he is. But it seems like someone is eager to see me die quickly."

Prince Rong who had just walked from the side room was speechless to see a servant kneeling in front of his empress.

"What's going on?" Prince Rong.

Empress An looked at Prince Rong, "Someone wants me and this child to die a horrible death, your majesty."

Both prince Rong's eyes were rounded, "What! Who would dare to do that to you?"

"I don't know, neither does the waiter know. But if you look, this poison is really very good."

Prince Rong looked at the food in front of Empress An, then picked it up and kissed it.

"This scent, I think I've smelled this scent." Prince Rong.

"Where did your majesty smell that scent?"

"At the border of uta...."

Prince Rong fell silent, as he remembered something.

"Your majesty." Said empress An.

"Xiao Bo!" Prince Rong.

Xiao Bo who was outside the room immediately went inside after hearing the loud voice of prince Rong.

"Hamba here, your highness."

"Bawa Mei Huang here. If he doesn't want to, drag him."

"May Huang, your noble intention is the head of the army at the northern border?"

"Right, it was likely that he had not gone to the border again after a few days ago to return. So bring him here."

"Okay, your honor."

Xiao Bo immediately exited the room of prince Rong, while Empress An who knew nothing was just silently watching the interaction of the two of them.
