THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
TSOLE 45'S
Dayang Fuo painstakingly struggled to look calm before Zen. Even Zen had been watching Fuo and was reluctant to move away.
“Yes Gods!! Why didn't Mr Zen leave as well? Share if Siu suddenly appears?” The dayang Fuo.
“Did you say something?”
“B-nothing, Sir. I just said that lady Wen would cry all night if the necklace was not found.” His alibi.
While Zen still faithfully observed one of Empress Ling's ladies-in-waiting. Suspicion was definitely there especially the moment they were at the residence of Lord Huang.
It was not impossible if the empress' loyal lady would tell Mr. Huang the truth as well as Madam Xue.
According to the decree of the Emperor to supervise the movements of the maids. Empress Ling will be directly supervised by Emperor Feng.
“Do not try to lie to me. And one more thing, do not ever cause trouble with His Majesty the Emperor. You understand that not by the meaning of my words? So act as a lady-in-waiting who does not interfere in the affairs of the employer.” Zen said at length and passed away.
Seeing Zen's departure managed to make Dayang Fuo exhale heavily but relieved. Dayang Fuo took in as many breaths to neutralize the feeling of nervousness.
“So Mr. Zen must have thought I would report to Mr. Huang. But thankfully, I was able to refocus looking for Siu.”
“Haishh.... Where is siu really? Mr. Zen would definitely go around the residence to keep an eye on everything. It would be very dangerous if he found Siu.” Dayang Fuo continued muttering.

Still under the same tree, Fenrir and Flo sat with a little distance between them.
...SIU \= FENRIR...
The awkward feeling was still felt by Flo, especially the handsome face of Fenrir so provoked the eyes to always see him.
“Nona!! Why are you sitting away? Why doesn't Miss want to look at me? Am I so ugly in human form?” Fenrir asked with his voice heavy but soft on hearing.
What did he say? Ugly? Don't you realize Fenrir with his handsome face? Didn't you know Fenrir was nervous when he saw his face?
Slowly, Flo manages his breathing and restores the heartbeat to normal again.
“No! No!! You're not ugly.... H-just..”.
“What's it, Miss?” Fenrir asked slowly crawling closer to Flo.

Now he was right in front of Flo and immediately sat next to her. Eyes that were golden yellow as soon as he looked at Flo's eyes fixedly.
Close-up... No!! It's too close....
“Will Miss join me?”
“---”
“E-eh?”
“COMMISSARY!!” Shouted one from the side.
Hearing the scream managed to make Flo spontaneously turn to the origin of the sound.
How shocked it was when his eyes caught the silhouette of a man so familiar in his memory.
“What does the empress do these nights?” Ask.
“Zen?? What's the deal with you?”
Getting the question certainly makes Zen silent not warted. Of course it is the personal right of Empress Ling to want to do anything, especially this entered the residence of her parents.
“Pardon me for my indecision, but it is not good if the empress sits alone with the situation late at night!” Zen said in a soft voice.
By himself? Did Zen not see that he was sitting with Fenrir?
“Owny? What do you mean? Don't you see if this empress is sitting around with-Where is she?” Flo's words stopped as he turned to the side but there was no Fenrir.
Is empress Ling fantasizing? Or see a ghost?
While Flo turned around to look for the whereabouts of Fenrir who suddenly disappeared without form.
“It looks like the empress is too exhausted. It's good that the empress rests soon. It would be very suspicious if the empress did not sleep immediately.”
Inevitably Flo got up and cleaned up some traces of soil attached to his hanfu.
“Cih!! You think this empress wants to linger outside feeling the cold of the night? This empress is lost, are you tay?? I was looking for a bodyguard but nothing. Be this empress sitting down and even want to sleep as well while waiting for tomorrow.” Upset Flo.
Actually there was a feeling of disgust when Flo called herself with the phrase “this empress”, as if she was so proud of her position as Imperial Mother.
Hmm!! If it weren't for future retaliation, Flo would rather just go straight and not deal with dangerous people.
However, as a form of remuneration to the previous empress Ling who had given her body to him. He must do something to repay her.
Hearing the sighs of the woman before him made Zen sigh tiredly.
“Mari, let the saga deliver to the empress' residence.” Say Zen and drive from the front. While Flo would not want to follow from behind.
It was certain that Zen would take him for a room with that savage Emperor.
Once again Flo looked back and saw if there was Fenrir sitting sweetly while waving at him.
“Fenrir?? She really..”

The turn-around journey made Flo not stop beroh-oh ria. It's worth getting lost because there are many similar turns but some of them will take us to the place we were.
After walking far enough, they arrived in front of a door that had a carving of a phoenix.
“Alright, empress!! Then I say retreat.” Pamit Zen slightly bent his body a sign of respect.
But... Looks like Flo forgot something...
“Oh gosh.... Almost I forgot about this.”
“ZEN!!!” Shouted Flo with a slight run chasing after Zen's steps.
Feeling himself called, he immediately stopped and looked back. Empress Ling called out to him? What was?
“Huhffh... Good thing you haven't gone too far!! This empress just remembered that tonight her mother asked this empress to sleep with her. But this empress doesn't know where the room is.” It was clearly Flo that Zen could understand.
“If you don't believe it, you can report it to your Emperor.”
“---”
“Let's follow me!”

“Ling'er, is it really okay for tonight you don't sleep with the Emperor?” Ask Madam Xue.
He is currently in the same room as his mother. Although there is an awkward feeling because honestly in the previous dimension, he never interacted with the mother because he was born as a daughter.
“You daydreaming? If it can't then it's okay-”
“B-not so, Mother. It's just that I don't know what to say after so long meeting Mother.” Clearly Flo stopped the unpleasant feelings of the middle-aged woman before him.
“Haha... Oh yeah, why did you just come to Mom's room so late at night, Ling'er?”
Flo was so confused himself to give an answer like what. It's impossible for Flo to say she was lost.
“Yes god!! No need to tell your mother. Your mother should understand that you must have spent a moment with the Emperor before leaving here, right? Hm... No need to be shy, Ling'er.” Madam Xue said with a slight chuckle.
Spending time? It was true that he spent a moment with the Emperor but to hear the threat from him.
Because the words of the bastard at dinner last made Empress Ling's mother think that I felt heavy hearted away from her. That's what Flo thought.
