King's Regrets
Eps 23's
The next day, Empress Yan, who had already woken up, was sitting in the flower garden inside the western palace. Empress Yan greatly enjoyed the scent of some flowers that were not present in the Qin state palace.
Accompanied by Xiao Wei, Empress Yan felt very calm. He had even forgotten that he had come to that Ming country with emperor Shun still preparing in the room.
Moments later Empress Yan heard the door of the room open, she also heard the sound of footsteps approaching her.
"Aren't you supposed to wait for me inside, Empress Yan?" Emperor Shun said when he was next to Empress Yan.
"Sorry, your majesty, I'm not interested in seeing a man change his clothes." Empress Yan said without turning her head to emperor Shun.
Emperor Shun took his breath, he held back the emotions he could not let out.
"This is the royal palace of the Ming country, so keep your attitude empress Yan." Emperor Shun.
Empress Yan stood up then looked at Emperor Shun "I understand very well your majesty, so I also want to say to your majesty, so that your majesty does not make me humiliate you."
After saying that empress Yan stepped away "Oh yes, your majesty. Later in the day the emperor (ming country) wants to take you to the archery training ground, hope you prepare."
Emperor Shun looked at Empress Yan who was getting further away. He couldn't do anything at the moment, and that made him even more annoyed.
"Qing Lian, looks like I have to make you see that one of your families doesn't exist. You'll be scared of me again."
Emperor Shun walked away to meet with crown prince Zhang, as they had promised to go somewhere.
Meanwhile in the royal palace of the Qin state, concubine Ning who was staying by emperor Shun to the Ming state was planning something.
Within Ning's room was already her mother and sister's cousin, they would plan to harm Empress Yan when Empress Yan had already returned to Qin state.
"He's already made my brother die, I want to make him die horribly." Said concubine Ning furiously.
"Cousin-brother take it easy, I know some of the chief thugs in the capital. They'll do what we're told for the right pay." Said concubine Ning's cousin sister.
"Good.the lantern festival is coming soon, and it's exactly a few days after emperor Shun returned from Ming country. At the festival we drag Empress Yan out of the crowd and take her to the forest, and then we kill her there."
Mother Concubine Ning looked at concubine Ning with worry.
"Any mother?" Concubine Ning asked her mother.
"If we do so and are known by the emperor, he will definitely not let us go. And you'll never be a queen." Said concubine Ning's mother.
"If I can't be a queen, then she doesn't deserve that position either."
The hateful gaze of concubine Ning was so obvious to empress Yan, the desire to destroy and kill empress Yan was so great to concubine Ning.
Concubine Mother Ning and her cousin sister looked at each other and nodded.
"So calm down, once the emperor comes I'll go straight to the chief thugs to plan everything."
"Yes, I'm entrusting you with this."
"Good sister."
Concubine Ning stared at just any place, a sly smile on her back.
"Empress Yan, enjoy your last days. Because soon you won't be able to feel it."
As they spoke to plan for the accident, someone was hearing everything from behind Concubine Ning's room.
After no longer hearing anything, the person left quickly like a blowing wind.

In the Ming country, emperor Shun and crown prince Zhang were enjoying tea while playing chess near a waterfall.
Along with the sound of birds and a cool breeze, they really enjoy their chess game there.
"Emperor Shun, don't you have any plans to have a descendant?" Crown prince Zhang.
That question made Emperor Shun pause for a moment.
"The situation inside the palace is still not very stable, added Empress Yan just recovered from her poison." Emperor Shun.
Emperor Shun looked at crown prince Zhang who was running his chess pawn.
"Crown prince Zhang, is my relationship with Empress Yan good or not. It has nothing to do with you."
"I'm sorry if emperor Shun is offended, I only see Empress Yan so tender and feel sorry for him."
Emperor Shun stared at crown prince Zhang sharply, his hands clenched under the chess table.
Although all this time his treatment of Empress Yan was not good, but he did not want to if there were others who were unemployed and liked Empress Yan.
"If crown prince Zhang likes women from our country, we can help crown prince Zhang to find the woman that crown prince Zhang wants."
Tak
The sound of a chess pawn touching the table is so loud.
"If I say, I want Empress Yan. Is Emperor Shun going to give it to you?"
The two emperor Shun's eyes opened wide hearing crown prince Zhang's words.
"Crown prince Zhang, what do you mean?"
Crown Prince Zhang smiled faintly "I'm not telling the truth, I'm just saying 'if'. I know it is impossible for me to take Empress Yan, since she is the empress of emperor Shun."
Emperor Shun stood up "I hope you don't have any thoughts about it anymore crown prince Zhang."
Emperor Shun left crown prince Zhang with a furious and furious feeling.
Crown Prince Zhang smiled looking at the attitude of that emperor Shun.
"Even if you change, isn't it too late? For years you tortured Empress Yan. You're too naive if Empress Yan will forgive everything because of your change emperor Shun." Crown prince Zhang muttered.
Crown Prince Zhang took a chess pawn and placed it on the chess table.
"You're losing."
In the courtyard beside the western palace, Empress Yan was seen chatting with several imperial concubines from the Ming country.
They were so familiar, as if they were old acquaintances who had just met.
"Sir, I want to prepare. In a moment I will accompany the emperor to the archery practice." Emperor Shun spoke without regard to the concubines of the Ming state emperor there.
Empress Yan looked at emperor Shun, she then smiled insinuatingly.
"Didn't your highness the emperor once say to me, if your highness only wants to be served by concubine Ning or the others, as long as it's not me?"
Empress Yan certainly did not want to follow the wishes of emperor Shun, who wanted to show friendly relations to the people in the Ming state court.
Hearing the words of empress Yan, emperor Shun left with his wide strides.
Seeing that, some of the concubines became sympathetic to Empress Yan. They had indeed heard that emperor Shun loved his concubine more than empress Yan.
"Your Majesty, you must have suffered greatly and been depressed." Speak first concubine.
"Right sister, your highness the empress must be very depressed there." Said the third concubine.
"Thank you, but I'm used to it. But I also don't know, until when I can hang in there." Said empress Yan in a sad tone.
Seeing that Empress Yan was grieving, the first concubine grabbed the hand of empress Yan and grasped it.
"You're endowed with a happy life, you can be a noble one." Speak first concubine.
"If only the noble concubines of emperor Shun were like you, I would really feel very happy."
The concubines looked at each other.
Within the Ming court, the concubines and queens did indeed value and respect each other. So there was never any dispute between them, even though they already had children with the emperor.
