Twenty years later ...
Still in the palace-election hall of concubines.
Right now everyone was staring at the nervous Xin'er to display her talent. Xin'er who was the center of everyone's attention, could only smile wryly as she walked towards the center.
If only he could, he would choose to escape from this uncomfortable place. Not just nervous! Honestly speaking, Xin'er was currently thinking hard so that she was immediately rejected by everyone, especially the Emperor as well as the Third Prince. But ... What to do?
Xin'er bowed respectfully, then said. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I have no talent to show. I'm just a little girl who doesn't understand anything and also ... doesn't have any special abilities!" he tried to calm down, after pausing a little of his words.
Everyone started whispering. "He dared to speak his honesty in front of everyone. Salute, me!"
"Rubber. Rarely will anyone ever tell you the truth!" the other timpal.
"But, he's so stupid that he can't do anything. Take look! At his age, he doesn't even have any special abilities. What a stupid girl." The other one sneered.
"Yes. You know what, she's a lady from which family?" others shook their heads because they did not know. The man continued his words again. "She was the daughter of the great and famous Prime Minister. Prime Minister Yun!"
They immediately round their eyes to hear that. "Ah, is that right?"
Rumors spread as time went on. They noisily gossiped people until their voices sounded like birds in an animal market. In fact, they blatantly insulted the Prime Minister for not being able to educate his youngest daughter.
Muning and Mingna laughed happily inwardly, as everyone finally knew that Xin'er was a foolish girl. Unlike Mr. Xiaoyu who was relieved, even though everyone was gossiping, but it did not matter. That way, this matter would make the Prince reject Xin'er directly.
Actually, Prime Minister Yun did not want his daughter to marry into the royal family. In addition to being dangerous for his safety, he disagrees if Xin'er marries a disabled man like the Third Prince.
But Xin'er was very furious to hear the words from the mouths of the lemes of the Eunuchs, Ministers, Nobles, let alone the Princesses who were centilnya nauzubillah. His hands clenched a sign he was very angry. But, right now was not the best way to make a fuss. Plus, he was in the middle of a kingdom surrounded by soldiers. Haish, really upset!
Slowly, he stood up and stared fiercely at everyone gossiping around him. Accidentally, the pearl netra was centered on a middle-aged man who was looking at her miserably. Her own face was very bright, if she was sad to see her daughter humiliated like that. However, there was nothing that could be done by him. At least, this way his daughter will be rejected directly.
With a nod with a smile, his father hinted that he must be strong and not have to care about the chirping of people around. Why listen to them? After all, they won't know what our hearts are like? So, don't mind their words!
The intelligent Xin'er caught her father's cue. He retreated slowly, knowing that there was no need to wait to be rejected or expelled. Rather than that, it was better for him to leave this place first.
Everyone agreed with Xin'er's decision to resign because she did not have any abilities, including the Emperor and Empress, as well as the other Princes.
However, a concubine must have good skills and talents. Not only to be a wife, but also to have something to be proud of. For the Royal family, skill was something important. Be it in any case, as long as one had the skills, they would always be respected.
Zhaohan smiled because Xin'er would not be chosen by her sister to be a concubine. He still had the chance to make one of the concubines of the occupants of his harem Palace. However, the Third Prince's voice made his smile disappear.
"Who let you go?" the screams invited the faces of all looking towards him. "I haven't decided whether you deserve it or not. Why did you just leave? Isn't that disrespectful?" a sly grin on his face that no one could see.
Everyone looked at him strangely. Does the Third Prince still want the girl to be his concubine? Even though he has no special talent?
Immediately, Prime Minister Yun came forward to approach his daughter and bowed respectfully in front of the Third Prince. "Punished for the disrespect of the servant's daughter, Your Majesty. He was a child and did not understand the grammar. If you want to punish, punish the servant only. Slave is ready to get any punishment from you!" he said with regret.
"Dad. Dad shouldn't have done that. I'm wrong, and you don't have to do anything to save me!" xin'er exclaimed upon hearing his father's words.
"Shut up, bad boy. You must not bear His Majesty's anger. I don't want you to get hurt. Better, apologize to Your Majesty immediately. Hurry along!" whispered Mr. Xiaoyu.
The Third Prince smiled triumphantly. In this way, he could show everyone that Xin'er was indeed worthy of being his companion. "You're guilty. But, your father must get the punishment for not being able to properly educate his daughter. A Prime Minister's daughter was being arrogant like that? Heh, what are you doing?" taunted.
It was furious to hear the words that made his heart squeamish like it was pinched a little. Xin'er wanted to hit the person wearing the veil. In addition to having a ugly face, the Third Prince had a sore mouth.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" only those words came out of Xin'er's mouth, with no words to resist.
But, the Third Prince's next order, made Xin'er round her eyes. "Supervisors. Come and get your sword out! Slash the Prime Minister's neck in front of everyone, especially his arrogant daughter!" his word was directly obeyed.
"What?" The surprised Xin'er immediately looked up at the man before her. It's so cruel this guy. Inner Xin'er.
The Prince was immediately obeyed by the bodyguard who immediately raised his sword without hesitation. "Ready, Your Majesty!"
Everyone turned their eyes to see that. The prince is well known to be kind and friendly. He is not a cruel person either. Butwhy? Because an Xin'er refused to be a concubine, she did something like this? In fact, sentenced his father to death in front of everyone.
The empress who felt her son's actions were excessive, immediately stood up. After all, the Prime Minister is his loyal follower. "Prince Zhaozu, that's not true! You shouldn't do that, Prince!"
The Third Prince glanced at his mother, then looked back at Xin'er's anxious face. But, there was not the slightest trace of fear on Mr. Xiaoyu's face. Perhaps, for the sake of saving his daughter, he was willing to sacrifice. "Prime Minister Yun alone did not hesitate to accept this punishment. Aye, kan. Mr Prime Minister?"
Master Xiaoyu nodded. "The servant will not go against your orders, Your Majesty. As long as you let my daughter live, I'm willing to die!" firmly answered.
"No. Dad can't do that. Let me accept the punishment. I'm ready to die, if it makes Prince Zhaozu happy. Go ahead, kill me!" xin'er shouted in a loud voice. "After all, I was dead in a previous life. It's okay, if I die again. But, as a hero, not a loser taking refuge in a father's armpit."
The Third Prince smiled wryly. "Sad. You don't want to be with me? To the extent that you're always trying to get away from me. But, I will make you unable to dodge anymore." Zhaoling determined inwardly. "No. Your father will still get his sentence!" resolute again.
"No. Don't do that, Your Majesty." now Madame Muning and Mingna are advancing. "Your Majesty. If you punish the servant's husband, how can we live? Please forgive him, Your Majesty!" said Mrs Muning.
"Do you mean you want to be punished?" zhaozu's question silenced the two who instantly shook their heads. "alright. Then their laws too. Hurry along!"
Without hesitation, the bodyguard immediately raised his sword and swung forward, towards them. Everyone was screaming hysterically watching such a cruel execution being carried out in such a public place. But what can they be? They cannot resist the royal family.
Be it Mr. Xiaoyu, Madam Muning, and Mingna, closing her eyes could not imagine dying in this way. If they were to die right now, it would be due to Xin'er's fault. So, the mother and child would certainly hate Xin'er a lot.
However, it was not yet possible for the sword that the bodyguard swung to touch Mr. Xiaoyu's neck that another sword had struck him. So, there was a very loud crash.
Trang ...
They were all shocked by the incident. Who would dare to resist the Prince's orders? Moreover, this is still in the Kingdom area.
Mr. Xiaoyu and his wife and stepson immediately turned to the side. How surprised the three people were when they found out that Xin'er was standing with a sword in hand. "Xin'er,"
"If anyone dares to touch my family, I'll make sure you die in my hands!" xin'er shouted with a sharp look towards them.
Hearing Xin'er's stern remark, the Third Prince smiled in satisfaction. "It's time for him to act!"
