King's Regrets
Eps 14's
After drinking the potion made by the palace healer, Empress Yan's condition gradually recovered.
During the treatment period emperor Shun also often came to the palace of Yue Ji to see the state of empress Yan.
As of this moment, emperor Shun was sitting on a chair that was inside the room of Empress Yan. He continued to look at Empress Yan.
While Empress Yan ignored the existence of emperor Shun, she preferred to read books on her bed.
"Your honor, all the food is served. Does your highness want to eat now?" Xiao Wei said to Empress Yan.
"Yes, you help me walk there." Said empress Yan.
"Let me help you." Emperor Shun said as he stood up.
"This noble one is joking, how could I let his highness the emperor get me?"
Empress Yan stood up and walked towards the door of the room assisted by Xiao Wei.
"Oh right. Your Majesty, you are a busy man. So it is better from now on that you no longer need to come to this palace of Yue Ji, after all it could make concubine Ning hate me even more."
Emperor Shun felt very furious, only this time there was a person who dared to refuse to even expel himself who was a king.
With wide steps and clenched hands, emperor Shun left the palace of Yue Ji.
"Emperor Shun, do you think I would be moved and forgive you just because you acted that way to me? You're too naive!"
Empress Yan ate casually accompanied by Xiao Wei who stood beside her to help her pick up an unreachable side dish.
After she finished eating, Empress Yan went to the courtyard next to her room. He moved his leg which was healed.
"My condition is much better now. It's time to avenge the man who hurt me." Said empress Yan.
The next night Empress Yan quietly walked out of the palace, she went to a little secluded hut.
Empress Yan looked at some of the men sitting in front of the hut. The men stared at Empress Yan with questionable gazes.
A middle-aged man came out from inside the hut, and welcomed the arrival of empress Yan.
"Miss Luo, forgive me for not directly welcoming your arrival." Said the middle-aged man.
"It's okay, I can't linger here."
"Good, fine. Please Miss Luo."
Empress Yan who was disguised as Miss Luo walked into the hut.
Brak!
The sound of the table shaking made the middle-aged man turn his head, and instantly his eyes were rounded from seeing one small chest containing about 100 gold pieces.
"No.. Miss Luo. You can tell me what I want to do for you."
"I want you to spread a word throughout this Qin state."
"What news is miss?"
"Emperor Yan was again poisoned inside the palace due to a trap that someone had deliberately placed in the palace garden. And it is currently searching for the identity of the person who has set the trap. The reward for finding him will be one gold chest."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly. He was a person who was already familiar and expert in this job.
"Well Miss Luo, you take it easy and won't be disappointed with my work. Tomorrow morning you'll hear people talking about this great news."
"alright. Remember you can't be caught by anyone, if you get caught I won't care."
"Well Miss Luo, you don't worry."
Empress Yan nodded then immediately walked out of the hut and returned to the palace.
"Emperor Shun, concubine Ning. Retaliation has arrived, I hope you can accompany me for longer."
In Yue Ji's palace, Xiao Wei who was standing guard in front of Empress Yan's room felt extremely anxious because empress Yan had not returned after nearly an hour of her sneaking out.
As Xiao Wei was feeling anxious and scared, he saw some people walking towards the room of Empress Yan.
"I want to meet Empress Yan." Said concubine Ning who was already standing in front of Empress Yan's room.
"Sorry concubine Ning, but your highness the empress is asleep."
"Isn't he sleeping too fast? Move away I want to meet him!"
"Please concubine Ning don't make a fuss here, your highness the empress is already asleep. The empress' noble body is being unwell."
Concubine Ning who did not believe Xiao Wei's words intended to enter the room of Empress Yan.
But just as his foot stepped he stopped because he heard the sound of objects being thrown.
"Xiao Wei, which dog is late at night is still noisy! Get rid of him, I don't want him to disturb my sleep!"
Hearing those words, concubine Ning was angry. How not, she was the favorite concubine of emperor Shun, but just now she was equated with a dog by empress Yan.
Xiao Wei who heard the voice of Empress Yan from inside the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Concubine Ning, I've told you if...."
"Shut up!"
Concubine Ning looked at Xiao Wei sharply, she then turned around and left the palace of Yue Ji in annoyance.
After concubine Ning left, empress Yan walked out of her room. He was still wearing the clothes he was wearing when sneaking out.
"Your majesty, you're really freaking me out." Xiao Wei.
"I'm sorry. Let's help me get some water ready, I want to take a bath before I go to bed."
"Okay, your honor."
From the top of the tree someone who was observing the palace Yue Ji nodded, he then went from the hiding place to report to his master.
Prangs!
Prangs!
The angry concubine Ning threw away and broke the items in her room.
"Empress Yan, who do you think you are! You're just an unconcerned empress, how dare you treat me like that!"
Concubine maid Ning who saw that could only stand in the corner of the room, she did not dare to approach.
Someone came and whispered to concubine Ning's servant. Concubine Ning understood and nodded.
"Your highness, our bodyguard says that the head of the court has found out who hid the trap inside the palace."
"Say who?"
"That's..."
"Quick say!"
"Sorry your majesty, it is your noble brother. Mr. Xi."
Concubine Ning's eyes were round, she couldn't believe that her brother was so brave. Previously he had already told if they would start moving after the two guests of the Qin state palace left.
"Are you sure it's my brother?"
"Yes, your highness, and now the officer from the court is heading to Mr. Xi's residence to arrest him."
Prangs!
"Yahaagh! You useless brother!"
Concubine Ning grew angry and upset that her brother had not listened at all and obeyed what he had planned.
"If this is the case, your highness the emperor will definitely suspect me of what happened oada empress Yan."
Concubine Ning sat down, her trembling hands clenching firmly. His eyes stared straight at the nanar.
Meanwhile empress Yan who had also gotten word if the culprit was the older sister of concubine Ning just smiled.
Empress Yan had already guessed that only concubine Ning and her family would dare to take such an action against her.
And now empress Yan just had to wait for the people she paid to spread the rumors she had arranged, so that tomorrow morning the Qin state would get even more uproar.
"The Ning concubine's family conspired to poison Empress Yan, in order for concubine Ning to rise to the empress position. Isn't this very good news. The people and officials would think if the Ning concubine's family had dared to shake the foundation of the government. And of course, that family as well the emperor would feel very ashamed in front of everyone." Said empress Yan.
"They've made you close to death, they deserve it, your honor." Xiao Wei.
"Not only did they make the original owner of this body close to death, but they did make him die."
Empress Yan looked at the loyal Xiao Wei with a look of pity, as she did not know that the one in front of her was someone else, not the empress Yan had been serving.
