King's Regrets
Eps 16's

This morning the elder brother of concubine Ning was dragged into the royal court hall for examination by the head of the Qin state court.

The head of the court along with the other court officials were ready, the guards who would deliver a blow to Ning's elder concubine when she did not want to answer correctly were also ready with the trigger.

Right now, Consort Ning's brother is kneeling before the head of the court and the other officers. His hands were tied and his feet were set in large chains.

"Mr Xi, you're accused of a crime inside the palace. You purposely laid a poisonous trap so that her majesty Empress Yan was exposed to that trap and poisoned." Speak the head of the court to Consort Ning's brother.

Sister concubine Ning silently heard the words of the head of the court.

"Say, who ordered you to do that, mister Xi?" Speak again to the head of the court.

Everyone stared at mister Xi kneeling on the floor.

Mr. Xi was silent, he did not intend to say anything to everyone who was there.

Seeing that, the head of the bodyguard raised his hand and a bodyguard carrying a whip walked up to mister Xi and swung it at the body of big brother concubine Ning.

Despite being hit several times, Consort Ning's brother remained silent unwilling to tell the truth.

The head of the bodyguard again raised his hand, and the bodyguard stopped the swing of his whip on the body of big brother concubine Ning.

"Master Xi, do you know the punishment for hurting and wanting to kill a royal member?" Ask the head of court.

Consort sister Ning smiled as she endured the pain, and looked at the nanar to the head of the court that was in front of her.

Everyone who came was surprised to see him smile like that.

"You are only sycophants inside the royal palace! You guys don't even deserve to salute concubine Ning!" Excited big brother concubine Ning.

The sound of applause suddenly sounded from the direction of the door of the court hall.

Everyone saw Empress Yan walking into the court hall with a smile and looking straight at the elder consort Ning.

Big brother concubine Ning who also saw Empress Yan enter the hall was shocked to the point of falling to the floor.

"Are you surprised to see me okay, Mr Xi?" Empress Yan said to consort Ning's sister.

The head of the court and the other officers immediately stood up and walked over to Empress Yan.

"Greetings your highness the empress." The head of the court and others.

"You guys just continue with your work. I just want to say something to Mr. Xi."

"Please your honor." The head of the court invited Empress Yan.

Empress Yan walked up to elder concubine Ning's sister and crouched down in front of her.

"Master Xi, do you know? if you do not acknowledge that it is my own doing, then your majesty the emperor will give the order to drag your dear sister and your entire family to come with you into another world. Because I heard that his highness the emperor had already started to suspect concubine Ning. Do you really want to see concubine Ning and your family suffer, mister Xi?" Empress Yan said to elder consort Ning slowly.

Hearing the words of empress Yan, big brother concubine Ning shook her head in fear. She certainly did not want to if her family would be dragged along, especially concubine Ning who really wanted to become the queen of the Qin state.

Empress Yan who seemed to have already gotten what she wanted stood up and turned around.

"I've already said what I want to say to mister Xi. I hope in the future you won't have any trouble handling this." Said empress Yan.

"Thank you for the noble kindness of the empress." Said the head of the court and all the officers there.

"This time I've helped you save from concubine Ning's death, but it's certainly worth the price you have to give me."

Inside the He pavilion, concubine Ning was seen pacing back and forth in her room alone.

The servant who used to accompany concubine Ning had already sold to the slave seller in the suburbs.

To concubine Ning, her servant was already useless and had already made her very upset. So he sold it.

"My stupid brother! Even if he did it for me, but still. If he says I'm involved in this, I'll definitely go with him to the grave." Murmured concubine Ning.

His hands did not stop shaking with fear.

"Consort Ning, concubine Ning." Someone called his name while running.

"What's wrong, why are you running like that?"

"Your brother...."

"Say it clearly! what happened to my sister?"

"He'll be beheaded tomorrow in Xu's town."

Concubine Ning was sculpting, her body suddenly seemed to have no bones and fell on the floor.

"Concubine Ning."

The tears of the concubine came out, she sobbed after hearing the news about her brother.

If tomorrow her brother was to be beheaded, it meant that he had confessed his crime and said nothing about concubine Ning who was also involved in it.

"Sister, sister. No way, this is impossible. My sister.... He can't die. Brother!"

The hysterical cries of concubine Ning rang out to the outside of her pavilion.

Empress Yan who accidentally passed through the pavilion smiled at the voice of concubine Ning who was shouting from inside the pavilion.

"Slowly, enjoy everything concubine Ning. Because after this, emperor Shun who always spoils you will also feel a little game from me."

Empress Yan stepped away from the front of the He pavilion building along with Xiao Wei who had always been loyal to her.

Meanwhile inside the king's palace, emperor Shun who had heard that the elder brother of concubine Ning had already confessed that he himself committed the crime was silent.

Emperor Shun still felt awkward because after all, Mr. Xi was not a royal official and did not have access to and from the palace. Unless someone inside the palace gives him permission.

That made Emperor Shun suspicious of concubine Ning, if his older brother sneaked in and set the trap at night, of course he would be caught by the bodyguards guarding there.

"Concubine Ning, if this is related to her. I'm...."

Emperor Shun who was very fond and pampered concubine Ning would certainly not be willing if he had to give the same punishment as his brother got tomorrow.

Emperor Shun's hand clenched because he couldn't make up his mind against concubine Ning and empress Yan.

Emperor Shun who obtained the paper from the royal court, looked at him seriously. The paper was a letter stating if Ning's older concubine had committed a crime against a royal member and would get a beheading in Xu city.

Emperor Shun opened the dragon-shaped seal of the king and it was made of gold. Emperor Shun then placed the stamp on paper from the royal court, meaning he agreed that Mr Xi would carry out the death sentence tomorrow.

After giving the stamp on the affidavit, Emperor Shun kept the paper. Because the paper will be taken by the head of the court later.
