The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #124

"Your highness, I brought Mei Huang here." Said Xiao Bo, who came with Mei Huang and Xiao Li.

Prince Rong looked at Empress An, "You stay here."

"Your majesty."

"I'll be right back, after I finish everything."

Empress An simply kept silent, not responding to prince Rong who had stepped out of their room.

"It's been over 4 hours now, I think it's already started working."

Empress An stood up and walked towards the door of her room. Since prince Rong forbade him to come out, then he could only see everything from the front of the open door.

Prince Rong who was already in front of Mei Huang looked at him seriously, while Mei Huang was so happy that prince Rong called out to him, without him noticing that he was being called because of the thing he had done.

"I salute his highness prince Rong." Said Mei Huang while saluting.

"You don't have to, I called you here because I wanted to ask you."

"Please, your honor."

"Do you still have the medicine that we use when we're dealing with those bars on the northern border?"

Mei Huang fell silent and looked at prince Rong, at this moment he understood why prince Rong had called him.

"Your highness, I..."

"Nobody here owns and understands the drug, and no bar-barians sneak in here. But I get that medicinal scent on Empress An's food."

Hearing what Prince Rong said, Mei Huang felt that what he had done was already known by Prince Rong, but that was before Empress An ate the food. Because Mei Huang could see if Empress An was standing in front of the room door.

"Your majesty, how could I have known that, since the morning I was inside my residence." Said Mei Huang by pretending to be calm.

"Since morning? But I heard that this afternoon you visited my queen, when I was in the reading room."

Both of Mei Huang's eyes looked at Empress An, as she thought that it was Empress An who had told that to prince Rong.

"My majesty....."

Mei Huang's mouth suddenly fell silent, and could no longer speak.

Seeing that, empress An smiled at the medicine she secretly gave Mei Huang, by having a servant mix it into the tea she drank, it had made Mei Huang unable to speak for a moment.

"I knew you were going to do something to me, so I did something to you first. And after this, you will definitely say everything to prince Rong. And of course, you won't be able to quibble anymore."

Prince Rong looked at the silent Mei Huang slightly furiously, "Say, did you give the medicine to Empress An?"

Mei Huang remained silent, as she could not make a sound out of her mouth at all. While Prince Rong was looking at him sharply.

"May Huang!" Prince Rong exclaimed and made Xiao Bo and Xiao Li who were not far from prince Rong a little surprised.

Hearing Prince Rong's voice loud enough, made Empress An smile.

"May Huang, tell me. Are you the one who mixed the medicine into Empress An's food?" Prince Rong said again.

"May Huang! So presumptuous of you!"

Mei Huang covered her mouth with both palms, as what she wanted to say was incompatible with what came out of her mouth.

"No, not your highness. That's not true." Mei Huang.

"Not right? If so, then how is that right?"

"Actually, actually I wanted to do that a few months ago when I saw his noble smile so warmly, and treat him so gently."

Both prince Rong's eyes opened wide, and both his hands clenched firmly.

Mei Huang was again confused by what she had said earlier.

"Why, why would I say not come out. And what kind of jutsru am I supposed to keep secret comes out so easily?"

Prince Rong sharply looked at Mei Huang, "Xiao Bo, Xiao Li. Drag Mei Huang into the palace prison!"

"Okay, your honor."

Mei Huang shook her head, "No, your majesty. I really like you, please forgive my servant and don't do that to me. Your honor, your honor!"

Xiao Bo and Xiao Li took Mei Huang by force to prison, because she had committed a great crime to Empress An and the child who was inside her stomach.

"I will never let go of anyone who would hurt my queen." Prince Rong.

Empress An who saw everything felt sorry for Mei Huang, because her feelings for prince Rong had blinded her, and did a very cruel thing.

"If you hadn't done that to me, maybe I could have made a friend. But unfortunately you prefer to walk towards your own destruction." Said Empress An who was still standing in front of the room door.

Prince Rong turned around and walked towards his room, and he saw that his empress was standing and looking at him.

"Why are you standing here?" Prince Rong said after being in front of Empress An.

"I just want to see how you clean things up."

"I know, you must have done something to him."

Empress An smiled, "She has bad intentions towards me, so I only gave her a slight punishment."

"I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."

Empress An shook her head, "No, I just don't want anyone to do anything bad to me or your majesty."

Prince Rong looked at Empress An then hugged her.

"Thank you, I won't let anyone hurt you and our child."

"I understand, your honor. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of myself and our son."

Prince Rong felt very lucky and guilty towards Empress An, even though empress An could protect her as she was today. Prince Rong was still uncomfortable.

"May Huang, I'll make sure you receive a very severe punishment from me. For daring to do so to Empress An and my son."

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

"Your majesty! Your Majesty, please let me go. She is just a weak woman, your majesty. I have been at the forefront of every war. I'm the faster one standing next to you!" Shouted Mei Huang who was in the palace prison.

Mei Huang's two hands held the prison pole tightly, as she felt it unacceptable for Prince Rong to imprison her because of Empress An.
