King's Regrets
Eps 22's

One month later, according to what Emperor Shun had said, if he was going to visit the Ming state.

The reason emperor Shun went there was to thank crown prince Zhang and the Ming state because thanks to the three ingredients of the potion from the Ming state, empress Yan was able to walk the way she was.

Empress Yan, who was unwilling to join the emperor Shun, was forced to join and sit together in a royal car that would take them to the Ming state.

As long as Empress Yan was silent, she would rather open the window curtain and see the view of the mountains out there than have to talk to the emperor Shun who was next to her.

"After arriving in the Ming country, behave well. Don't make me and Qin's royal name ashamed." Emperor Shun said to Empress Yan.

"I understand." Empress Yan said without turning her head to emperor Shun.

"Can't you look at me when you talk to me? You really can't appreciate other people."

Empress Yan turned her head and looked at emperor Shun.

"Oh, your highness the emperor who has never appreciated me, also wants to be appreciated?"

Emperor Shun was stunned by what Empress Yan had told him.

"What has your majesty forgotten about what her majesty has done to me all this time?"

Empress Yan was still staring at the silent emperor Shun.

"Ah, and also it seems that his highness already knows that even his noble beloved concubine has never appreciated me. So your majesty must know clearly, how I will behave to your majesty."

Empress Yan again looked out of the carriage, she did not care what the current emperor Shun had in mind.

From the beginning, Empress Yan had only intended to avenge Emperor Shun for the real Empress Yan, so he did not care about how the original Empress Yan felt towards emperor Shun or the emperor Shun's guilt.

During the journey to the Ming state, Empress Yan never cared about how emperor Shun treated her, unless they were with someone else.

After two days of travel, finally the entourage of emperor Shun and empress Yan arrived at the gate of the Ming state capital.

In front of the gate there is already a group that turned out to be specifically sent by the emperor of the Ming country to welcome the arrival of emperor Shun and empress Yan.

"Greetings to the emperor of the Qin state and empress. I am the warlord of the Ming state, come greet the emperor and empress of the Qin state." Said the Ming country's warlord.

"Thank you warlord, I'm very happy for the welcome that the Ming country gave." Emperor Shun.

After that the entourage of emperor Shun and empress Yan guided by the Ming state warlord entourage entered the capital and will continue to walk towards the royal palace of the Ming state.

Empress Yan looked at the market they passed by.

"Very crowded and prosperous, would be very happy if you could stay here." Empress Yan's murmur was apparently heard by emperor Shun.

"The Qin State is no less prosperous."

"But at least I can live happily with people who love and value me. Although it should be an ordinary folk, it is much better."

Emperor Shun clenched his hand at the words of Empress Yan, he knew the meaning of the words of Empress Yan who was very piercing herself.

But the truth was that Emperor Shun had never treated Empress Yan well all this time. And it cannot be ignored.

The chariot mounted by emperor Shun and empress Yan stopped right in front of the royal palace of the Ming state.

Emperor Shun and Empress Yan descended from the carriage, and gazed at a palace building in front of them.

"Welcome to our country, your highness the emperor Shun and his highness the empress Yan." Crown Prince Zhang welcomed emperor Shun and empress Yan.

"Thank you crown prince Zhang." Emperor Shun.

Empress Yan only smiled and lowered her head in honor of crown prince Zhang.

"Good."

Emperor Shun and Empress Yan walked towards the king's palace to meet the emperor of the Ming state.

Crown Prince Zhang was secretly feeling very happy because he was able to meet Empress Yan. Moreover, the condition that Empress Yan saw was much better than a few months ago when she visited the state of Qin.

In the evening, the emperor of the Ming state held a feast to welcome the arrival of emperor Shun and empress Yan.

The emperor of the Ming state had also invited the greatest dancers present in the Ming state capital to console the emperor Shun and empress Yan.

"Your majesty, I brought you some gifts from the Qin state as an expression of gratitude from our Qin state for the Ming state, he said, who saved our Empress Yan from a dangerous poison a few months ago. Please your majesty can accept it." Emperor Shun said to the emperor of the Ming state.

"Thank you, your majesty. It was an honor for us to be able to help the noble empress of the Qin state."

Emperor Shun also promised the emperor of the Ming state that in a few weeks he would send his bodyguards to bring 5 tons of fresh fruit from the Qin state to the Ming state, who have difficulty getting fruit at the turn of the season like today.

The relationship between the two countries that had been at odds was getting closer by helping each other. And make the dispute between the two countries that ever existed is increasingly invisible.

While in the Ming state, emperor Shun and empress Yan would stay within the western palace.

The palace was located not far from the royal palace, so emperor Shun did not need to walk too far if he wanted to get out of the main door of the palace that connected directly with the market in the Ming state capital.

Empress Yan who knew if they were going to sleep in one room, had already prepared some thick blankets that Xiao Wei had brought from the Qin state.

"You're really gonna sleep there?" Emperor Shun asked when he saw Empress Yan remove the blanket and spread it over the long chair in the room.

"I don't want to sleep with someone I don't like and don't like. After all, isn't this better, Your Highness? You don't have to sleep with me." Said Empress Yan without turning her head.

Emperor Shun felt very upset at the attitude of Empress Yan who seemed to no longer like him.

Emperor Shun quickly withdrew Empress Yan's hand and stared at both of Yan's eyes sharply.

"Do you think you can play pull-out with me Qing Lian? Remember, the fate of your family is in my hands."

Empress Yan stared back at the emperor Shun's two eyes.

"Stop threatening my majesty, after the incident at Ju's palace back then. I don't care about everything."

Empress Yan threw Emperor Shun's hand from her body.

"I'm also not Qing Lian who you easily beat up like you used to be. I wouldn't hesitate to destroy the Qin state if you or your dearest concubine were to displease me." Extend empress Yan while looking at emperor Shun hatefully.

"Empress Yan, you..."

"Have a good rest, you must be tired after a long journey."

Empress Yan laid her body down and turned her back on emperor Shun, she was already lazy to argue with the current emperor Shun.

Unbelieving Emperor Shun was still sculpting while staring at the back of Empress Yan.

"I should be happy because he doesn't like me, so I can immediately return him to his family. But why do I feel like there's something that makes me uncomfortable?"

On top of the roof of the room of emperor Shun and empress Yan, someone was peering at them by opening one of the tiles of the room.

"So their relationship is getting worse, this is really good. I can get close to Empress Yan after they split later."

The spy, who turned out to be crown prince Zhang, put down the tile he took and then flew away from the roof of the room of emperor Shun and Empress Yan without being noticed by anyone.
