THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
THE TSOLE 34

Still with his surprise. Flo's body seems stiff with a heartbeat that increasingly beats with tightness.

What did he say? Has he been declared missing for 4 weeks? Even being in the sky palace and conversing with the gods and goddesses did not feel like weeks.

“A-are you joking? Your jokes to this empress are not funny, Mr. Zen.” Denying Flo.

“That's exactly what the empress is. If the empress doesn't believe it, perhaps the empress' loyal ladies-in-waiting can tell the truth. But before that, the empress must meet with His Majesty the Emperor.” Zen's voice sounded an absolute command.

Not yet exhausted by this shocking fact, he instead had to face with a creature that was very obligatory to avoid.

***

This is where Flo is, in the Emperor's office. This is the third time this meeting has been. It was undeniable that his body was currently feeling the cold heat even sweat was also felt flowing down his forehead.

If Zen says he has disappeared for 4 weeks, is not it confirmed that the great calamity of the haughty man before him must have befallen him.

Flo had been standing for a long time but not a single word came out of the Emperor's lips. Are you waiting for an explanation from me? So thought Flo.

(It's better to just shut up Flo... Bang sky feels a bad feeling (¡ ̄3 ̄) )

“A-I can men--”

“Who told you to speak heh?” Refuting Emperor Feng.

“---”

For whatever reason, Flo prefers to face Leo the furry beast he met in the sky palace. Even though being threatened with growling is okay. However, the man before him this time was more dangerous than anything he had encountered.

The aura in the Emperor's room felt so gripping. Even Zen who was right behind Empress Ling was quite stuffy and intimidated.

It was no wonder that the Emperor gave off this kind of aura. Empress Ling was declared missing for weeks. Not because of care or anything like that. But there was one thing that made the Emperor to mobilize the inhabitants of the imperial palace to look for him.

While Flo had been chanting all the prayers to be able to survive the rampage of the man who was staring to kill him.

‘Ya Gods... If it is true that you have blessed me with good luck, please save me from this cruel creature.’ Inner Flo expectantly.

Suddenly Emperor Feng stood with the same whip as he met his death. Surely it managed to make Flo's heart pounding more and more unbecoming.

‘A-will I be tortured again? Hix... Truly a trickster little god!! He said he had blessed me, but what is this?’ Inner scared.

(Which man says that god is a deceiver? Probably only Flo a -_-|| )

A little look back as if asking for Zen's help, but what can Zen do? He was only the right hand of the Emperor who must have obeyed all his orders without any intention of refuting.

SPLASH...

The flutter of lashes collides with the air until it makes a very loud sound. Flo's body shook in fear.

Step by step the man like a life-seeking angel stepped closer to Flo. His eyes looked as if he said this is your end.

Spontaneous Flo closes their eyes and prepares to feel the pain of a lash. Just wait!! Wait until he becomes strong then he will reply many times than he received so far.

But nothing was felt by his body other than a slight chill pierced into his skin. Slowly he opened his eyes and right in front of him a pair of jet-black netra looked at him hungry.

“This time you survived, but not for the next.” Emperor Feng's words were full of emphasis.

“Eh?”

Hearing his words, of course, made Flo become confused and wondering. Why would that bastard say that? That's what Flo thought.

After saying that, Emperor Feng passed away leaving Flo as well as Zen in the room which was now silent yet quite tense.

‘Is the lash just a bluff?’ Inner Flo looked at Emperor Feng's back which slowly disappeared.

“Thankful for the generosity of the god who has sent his help through the invitation of both empress parents, so as to ease the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“---”

“A few weeks ago, one of the emissaries of the empress' family sent an invitation to the empress as well as Her Majesty the Emperor to attend the welcoming party of the empress' elder sister.” Continue Zen.

The sister?

***

The sound of crying was heard so clearly in the residence of Empress Ling. How not, after he returned from the Emperor's workroom and went straight to his residence which was right behind the imperial palace.

The three loyal maids instead shrieked and immediately hugged when they saw her. Even the hanfunya felt wet from the tears of the three of them.

“Huhu... Where has the empress been all this time? We are very worried about the queen.” Adu dayang Wan's.

“Hei!! Be calm! I've been back with you guys, then what else you cried.” Flo felt innocent.

Didn't know Empress Ling if the three of them had been very worried and also tried to dig up information with other bodyguards about the whereabouts of Empress Ling but there was no news.

Moreover, about the contract of work with Miu's hanfu shop which every week must give him a new hanfu design.

They did not know exactly what the agreement was like, but if they broke the agreement could not be reported to the Emperor who was the husband of Empress Ling herself?

“How are you guys doing? Are you guys okay as long as I'm not around?” Ask Flo.

“We're fine, empress.” Reply dayang Fuo.

Flo's gaze turned to little girl Wen whose eyes looked very puffy, even her eye bags were clearly visible.

‘Haishh... Do they cry for me every day? Who would have thought that I only went briefly to the sky palace but it turned out that it had been weeks. But most importantly I can survive the savage Emperor's rampage.’ Inner Flo relieved.

There was a small howling sound coming from under his feet. Seemed Siu was leaning on his feet while his tail was swaying as if participating in welcoming his arrival.

“Ah... Siu... You're getting bigger.” Flo said with a slight bend to stroke Siu's head.

He remembered the words of Zen. Her brother's welcome party? He had absolutely no memory of the life of Empress Ling. He never even thought about whether Empress Ling had an older sister or even a younger sister.

“Dayang Wan's... Do you have food? I'm so hungry, you know.” Tanya Flo weld.

Actually he did not feel hungry, it's just a form of diversion of sadness for them.

Hearing the words of the empress, Wan's lady-in-waiting and Fuo's lady-in-waiting began to concern themselves. Dayang Wan went to buy food at the city market while dayang Fuo prepared a bath.

But before Wan's dayang left, his steps were stopped by Flo. It seemed that the girl was remembering something.

“What's the empress? Does the Queen want to order something?” Ask dayang Wan.

“Ah yes... No need to buy ready-to-eat food. Simply buy fresh fish and also some ducks that have been cleaned. I'll cook for our meal this time.” Clear Flo.

In the city market does provide a variety of snacks but is still limited to salty, sweet and sour flavors. And maybe one of the foods he likes is tenghulu with a rich sweet taste.

Given the taste of roasted duck the other day when looking for spice plants in the forest makes Flo's saliva taste sour. The salty taste that so dominates the duck makes his appetite disappear instantly.

It is fitting that the barbaric Emperor and his subordinates were often angry because of the frequent consumption of food in this dimension. Maybe just counting the years they'll all be up*alcause of high blood pressure or even a heart attack.

At first, Wan's lady-in-waiting was confused by the empress's direction, even more so would she cook herself? All their ages had never seen Empress Ling cook.

“B-well empress... Then I'll say goodbye now!!” Dayang Wan.

...SEE YOU NEXT...
