THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
TSOLE 24

There was still silence in the Emperor's office. No one intended to start a conversation, neither Grandfather Mo nor Emperor Feng.

Really, Zen could not bear this awkward situation. Both Grandfather Mo as well as Emperor Feng were equally giving off an aura pressure that was enough to make Zen slightly unsteady.

“You never change Xiu'er, always be indifferent.” Said Grandpa Mo while tapping his cane to the floor.

“Alright, get to the point. You already understand very well not if your teacher really likes gold haha.. ” Further Grandpa Mo ended his crisp laughter.

It seemed like Emperor Feng understood where the golden maniac old man's unlucky direction was his own teacher.

“I'm sorry before teacher... I forgot to tell you if the rumors about the appearance of ghosts have been completed.” Obviously Emperor Feng was casually.

Grandpa Mo's eyes rounded at once hearing the words of the Tang dynasty ruler. Is it finished he said? He had gone to great lengths to pack and carry his equipment to eradicate the evil spirit.

After all Emperor Feng had yet to send approval to Grandpa Mo and he suddenly came in the day the rumor announcement was over -_-+

“Then why didn't you say naughty student huh? Do you know, this old man took great pains to come here to see you.” Upset Grandpa Mo while raising his wooden stick prepared to hit Emperor Feng on the head.

Emperor Feng swiftly stood up and hid behind Zen's body. Zen himself remained silent and did not know what to do.

The emperor he knew was charismatic and dashing but why did he see him now as a child hiding from fear of being hit by a wooden rampage?

“Let's you naughty student!! Show me your strength!!” His shout while swinging the staff towards Zen was also Emperor Feng.

“Relax teacher... After all I have not agreed or even sent a reply to the teacher. Setting up a sack of burlap gold pieces only made the teacher accept my request for help? Very monster.” Emperor Feng explained.

Emperor Feng had memorized the character of the master which he had to prepare sacks of burlap gold pieces to fulfill his obsession. Is there a teacher who wants to blackmail his students?

If the gold is sold, how many hundred million? Or billions? $_$

This was also beyond Emperor Feng's control. He had no thought to independently investigate rumors of ghostly appearance and instead sent ChenWu to ask for help from his crazy teacher.

“Heii!! I rushed here so as not to take a lot of time and also more victims.” Grandpa Mo's alibi was completely untrue.

The main reason is because of the gold, bored, then the evil spirit. For the victims of the ghost could not exist, moreover, there was a holy altar that certainly would not be able to penetrate any evil spirit.

“I was able to go around looking for evil auras from around your palace but I did not feel anything.” Clearly Grandpa Mo after having calmed down from his frustration earlier.

‘How does the teacher feel the aura if the ghost is just the woman's wits.’ Inner Emperor Feng.

He forgot there was Zen here. I don't know what Zen was thinking about his behavior that hid from the raging staff of the teacher.

“Forget the incident!!” Whisper Emperor Feng before taking a sitting position back.

Zen was still surprised just able to nod and refocus on the conversations of different generations.

According to Zen, Grandpa Mo was classified as brave in his old age to look for the existence of the ghost. Really great.

“And on the way I got lost until there was a young girl who greeted me. She is very pretty also sweet---”

“Has the teacher now gone from crazy gold to old man mesu*m heh? The age of the teacher left a little more should multiply doing good deeds instead of depravity.” Grandpa Mo's speech was stopped by Emperor Feng.

Hearing the disciple's words certainly made Grandpa Mo's emotions increase. Does his student think he's a crazy little prickly-nosed man for women? Compared to women, gold is the most valuable.

TUKK..

The sound of the knocking of the stick as well as the ringing filled the silent room. It was confirmed that Grandpa Mo's wooden stick landed smoothly on someone's head.

“You are really yes... You call your teacher mesu*m?” Resentfully

Zen who saw Grandpa Mo's action couldn't cover his surprised look. A famous Tang dynasty emperor tyranny even got such treatment? Especially until grimacing in pain just because of the knock of the stick?

Heii.. Come on!! An emperor who did not fall despite the sword's impact on his body? And currently grimacing in pain just because of a cane?

“Then what? Teacher praises the girl is beautiful and also sweet does not lead to the thing that mesu*m?”

“The girl claimed that she was the one who saw the ghost directly. And when I asked for a moment to talk about this, he even let go as if in a hurry.” Clearly Grandpa Mo.

It seemed like Emperor Feng knew the girl his teacher meant. Who else if not Empress Ling as his wife.

“The girl lied teacher... It's just his wits just because of the stalling punishment I'm going to give him.” Said Emperor Feng flatly.

Stalling time? A penalty? What is it exactly?

“It looks like I've been in seclusion for too long until a lot of things have happened that I don't know here.” Ogre Grandpa Mo while nodding his head understood.

While at the residence Flo, a small celebration will be held for the arrival of Siu the wolf boy found in the forest earlier. More precisely, it was Wen's lady who organized.

Seen the look of the happy face of Dayang Wen when feeding the leftover bird meat Flo last afternoon. There's no way Siu was given tenghulu, right?

“Eat a lot of Siu so you get well soon!” Said lady Wen while looking at Siu who was greedily eating her food.

Flo and the other two maids were only able to smile knots were also astonished. It seems like Lady Wen was quite lonely not having any playmates all this time. Moreover, only she was the little lady-in-waiting that was in the imperial palace.

“Tak only Siu, but you also have to eat.” Tell Wan's lady to the sister. Too focused on giving food to Siu to make his sister ignore her own food.

It felt peaceful with the situation Flo was feeling at the moment. Being able to get together with people who love him and of course he feels like having a family.

Huhff... Again and again he remembered his grandmother and his best friend, Lylia. Somehow are they doing now?

“Enjoy, what are you daydreaming about? Does anything bother your mind?” Asked Dayang Fuo to Flo's surprise.

Why at a time like this she wanted to cry. He needs a warm embrace. And without saying much he immediately stood up and left the three maids who were looking at him questioningly.

‘What exactly is with the empress?’ Their inner compacts.

After Flo's departure, little lady-in-waiting Wen finally made a sound.

“Sister, what's with the empress? Is the queen having no appetite?”

“Entahlah... Maybe the queen needs some time alone. Nevermind!! You finish your food immediately and go to sleep.” Dayang Wan.

Dayang Wan was also the lady-in-waiting Fuo looked at each other as if asking through an eye gesture regarding empress Ling. The brief headband given by the two seemed to mean if they did not know the attitude of the empress.

...SEE YOU NEXT...
