Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Surprising Facts (Part 2)

A girl walks alone in the city. Around it, many people who pass by enjoy the bustling atmosphere of street vendors. Stores were opened along the way, as well as street performers who were performing their acts just to get a piece of silver coin. Yep. That's the Capital City.

There is a proverb saying, if the Capital is more cruel than the Stepmother. But according to Zhaozu, the Queen Mother was more cruel than the two. Hehe. No. .. no! Its serious.

The Queen Mother would do anything to fulfill her wish in various ways. It can be subtle, or even violent. Many were subject to the rule of the Queen Mother, including the Ministers and Eunuchs. But for Zhaozu, the Queen Mother is just an old Grandmother who must be respected and loved. Ought to.

But, that was not what Zhaozu was thinking at the moment. He did not accept any reason that the Queen Mother had spoken in the name of affection. Zhaozu said it was wrong and it remained wrong. Indirectly, the Queen Mother was involved in everyone's hatred for Xin'er.

Back to the girl who was walking. He looked so leisurely walking with the grocery basket in his hand. Seemed, a cheerful smile was etched beautifully on her red lips. He stopped by a few shops to buy what he needed.

While busy shopping, a burly hand held his hand, making him turn towards the owner of the hand. He just gritted his forehead because he felt he did not recognize the person.

"Sorry! You who?" immediately brushed off the hand of the person who turned out to be a handsome man. Observed with the face that beautiful. "I don't know you" she said again.

The man smiled kindly at him. "You're Shio May, aren't you?" the girl knitted her eyebrows together when her name was mentioned. "Your Majesty ...!" the man had not finished his words, but the girl immediately retreated in surprise.

The girl ran away from the man because she felt her life was threatened. However, quickly the man immediately chased after and caught up to him. "Why did you run?" clutching the girl's arm firmly.

The girl tried to rebel, but still could not let go. "Bu-not! My name ... my name ... Chikie," he said nervously. It was obvious that he was currently frightened.

Seeing Shio May frightened, the man immediately shook his head and said softly. "Don't be afraid! I'm not gonna kill you! I just ...!"

"Sir, please don't disturb my life anymore! It's not that Her Majesty the Empress has agreed that if I leave Yongsheon City, then she won't kill me and my family!" shio May.

The man was stunned to hear Shio May say. "An empress?" mumbled wailing.

Why did Shio May mention the Empress in between her fears? In fact, His Majesty meant that the man was not the Empress, but rather his Master.

"Master. Please have mercy on me!" pinta Shio May again made the man regain consciousness.

The man looked at Shio May, then glanced at the surroundings that many pairs of eyes were watching them. "Follow me, then I won't hurt you in the least! I promise," he said to make Shio May calm down.

With a resigned nod, Shio May followed the man's steps somewhere towards the famous restaurant in the City. He continued to follow the footsteps of the man towards the second floor. As his foot stepped on the second floor, he was made to be shocked instantly. A man was sitting on a chair while enjoying the dishes available at the table.

Handsome yet cold face. That was a clear picture of the man's appearance. Who else if not the Xili Kingdom Warlord, Zhu Zhaoling. Yep. He was the one who was called His Majesty by the man earlier.

The handsome and cold figure turned a glance upon seeing a girl brought by her shadow bodyguard. "Who are you carrying, Yu Xuan?" ask before focusing on the food.

Zhaoling won't recognize the girl. But, Shio May clearly knew the figure before her. The man who was notoriously cold and ruthless on the battlefield, the man who always made the hearts of the enemies tremble with fear, that was Zhaoling.

Yu Xuan approached and whispered in Zhaoling's ear. "Your Majesty, she's the girl!"

Zhaoling stopped eating. The eagle netra stared intently at Shio May like a dagger ready to stab at any moment. He quickly got up from his seat and said, "take him!" after ordering this to his shadow bodyguards, Zhaoling's feet stepped away and were immediately followed by them.

"Ready!" Yu Xuan pulled Shio May's hand so that the girl would follow him.

Really, right now Shio May is scared. He can be sure of what will happen next, if he follows the man's invitation. However, he had no other way to avoid the cold man. "Master. Are you going to punish me?" asked with a trembling voice.

Shio May quickly nodded. "good. Yes, Lord Commander! Whatever you want to ask, I'll answer all your questions as I know them!"

"Good," said Zhaoling again.

They also arrived at a small house in the City, with Li Wei welcomed. Zhaoling, Yu Xuan, and Shio May immediately sat on the chair Liu Wei had prepared in the room.

"Say!" said Zhaoling briefly without wanting to waste time.

Yu Xuan immediately opened his voice. "The Empress was involved in this," immediately Zhaoling stared intently at Yu Xuan and Shio May.

Brakes

The table in front of them was shattered because Zhaoling hit him hard. "How dare you slander the Empress!" the clasping made Shio May frightened.

His high tone made the girl tremble and not dare to say anything. He was surprised to see Zhaoling that angry, yet Yu Xuan tried to calm him down. "Master. Let him explain what really happened. If he's lying, then I'll put him in the Tiger cage to be his meal!" the tone of the threat was clearly heard, making Shio May even more frightened.

"Really sir, I'm not lying! The queen herself came up to me and asked me to buy the medicine, and mimicked the appearance of Princess Xin'er. I don't know, if the goal is to slander him!" speak honestly.

"Are you sure it's the Empress?" asked Liu Wei.

Shio May nodded for sure. "I wasn't sure at first, because he was covering the robe!" then, Shio May recounted the events of that night.

Three men in black clothes came to his house. There was one woman among the three men who came over with her head covered with her robe. However, not once did the woman open her face.

They expressed the purpose and purpose of his arrival. Under threat and helplessness, Shio May agrees to the woman's orders. To be honest, he did not know that his actions would have a bad impact on someone's life. He only knew to buy a bottle of medicine according to the writing on the paper, without knowing the efficacy of the drug.

Shio May was confused because she had to wear clothes and imitate someone. But, she did not remember that her appearance back then was very similar to Third Princess Xin'er. After he finished, he rushed to the woman who covered his head. However, his guards did not allow him to approach the woman.

Out of curiosity, Shio May followed them and discovered that the woman covering her head in a robe was the Lord of the Harem Palace, the Empress.

Not much to say anymore, he rushed away in fear after confirming the truth. A week later, a murder incident occurred inside the Palace involving Xin'er as the suspect and the Empress being the victim. After that, Xin'er was expelled from the Palace and exiled to the Border. Then a man came up to Shio May and gave her a bag of gold coins and threatened her.

Frightened, Shio May agreed and fled to this city. But unexpectedly, the Commander's shadow bodyguards can still find him.

Zhaoling stared intently at the girl who kept looking down afraid of it. He did not even dare to look up after he finished telling the true incident. It was clear from the look in his eyes, that no words of Shio May were lying. He did not know, because that time was only told to buy a bottle of medicine on the black market. For what and who, he doesn't know.

"Fuck," said Zhaoling annoyed by kicking the chair to vent emotions.

Crushed already Zhaoling's heart at this moment. There is nothing more painful than betrayal by someone you trust. Indeed, the actions of his mother did not directly make his life destroyed.

Zhaoling is very frustrated at the moment. "Yes Gods. What am I supposed to do?"
