King's Regrets
Eps 3's
The next day news of Empress Yan who had returned to health until Ning's concubine's ear.
Prangs!
"How can the j*lang woman still be alive? My plan will fall apart!" Concubine Ning said annoyedly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. As long as you can make your highness the emperor hate empress Yan and keep you a beloved concubine of the glorious emperor. He will never be able to compete with you." Said loyal servant concubine Ning.
"Yes, you're right. I won't let him go back into the royal palace. Because only I deserve to be by the emperor's side."
Concubine Ning clenched her hands, her breath hunting out of emotion to empress Yan who turned out to be not dead.
Meanwhile at the Qing prime minister's residence, Empress Yan was sitting down enjoying the tea served by Xiao Wei.
"Xiao Wei."
"Yes, your honor."
"Tell me, do I still have to love a man who wants me dead?"
"Ampuni noble servant, I do not know what the noble consort said."
Qing Lian looked at Xiao Wei.
"I think I'll stop loving her. That's enough of everything I've been through all this time."
"Your majesty."
Xiao Wei shed her tears. She did not expect that Empress Yan would say so, after a long time seeing Empress Yan survive only for the love of emperor Shun that was never obtained.
From the outside came footsteps approaching Qing Lian's room.
"Lian. I heard you were conscious, so I rushed over. I'm so worried about you Lian'er." Said the Qing prime minister in a hurry.
Qing Lian looked at the Qing prime minister who was none other than the father of the original body owner.
He already knew very well the character of a father like the Qing prime minister. And Qing Lian really wanted to kill that father who was only selfish of hers.
"You don't have to worry about dad. I'm fine."
"You don't worry, I'll ask the emperor for justice. After all you are the queen consort of the Qin state and the future queen."
"That's not necessary, because I've decided not to love her anymore. I won't care anymore whether the emperor will love me or not."
"Qing Lian, what do you mean? If you're not loved by the emperor's majesty, our family will be..."
"That's dad's business. Dad is the head of the family and I am just a child. I have no right to be the wood of rebuttal for this family."
"Qing Lian! You're... How dare you say that!"
"Don't yell at me dad. All this time you never cared what I experienced in the palace. The Emperor always hits me if he gets upset because of you. Do you care about that?"
"What's wrong, just hit it occasionally. Our family will continue to prosper if you...."
"Then do everything you can. I'm the empress of Yan, won't care anymore about the affairs of the Qing family!"
"You! You bastard son of a bitch!"
The Qing prime minister raised his hand preparing to hit Qing Lian.
"The punishment for hitting a royal is that both hands will be cut off. Are you ready to lose him?"
The Qing prime minister was silent, he naturally knew about the punishment for anyone who dared to act disrespectfully to the royal members. He pulled his hand back in annoyance.
"If it wasn't for me being your father, you would never be able to become Yan's empress now."
"And if it wasn't for you forcing your daughter into the palace and making her Yan's consort, your daughter wouldn't have died in the hands of the emperor she loved."

Inside the palace, emperor Shun was playing chess with his two best friends.
"I heard that noble consort Yan was poisoned at Ju's palace a few days ago." Liu Wei.
Emperor Shun was silent, he was seriously moving the chess piece in his hand.
Liu Wei looked at the warlord Choi who was sitting down and also saw the two people in front of him playing chess.
"It was because of his own carelessness. And it was also because of the Qing prime minister's mistake." Emperor Shun.
"Your majesty, isn't it enough that you make your highness empress Yan like that?" Said warlord Choi.
Emperor Shun looked at warlord Choi.
"It looks like you've started to like Empress Yan."
"Thank you my majesty. But I just think if you continue like that to Empress Yan, it would be great if one day you start to like Empress Yan. Empress Yan will definitely not believe and accept you."
Emperor Shun smiled, as if he was mocking what warlord Choi had already said.
"fun it? To see him I'm not willing."
Warlord Choi and Liu Wei looked at each other. They understood that Emperor Shun hated the Qing prime minister so much that he had done such a bold deed to the emperor that the daughter of the Qing prime minister became Yan's current consort. But the human feeling no one knows.
"Of that, you guys are so boring. I asked you here to accompany me to play chess, but you're talking about that Empress Yan."
"Punished the noble servant." Said the warlords Choi and Liu Wei while kneeling before the emperor Shun.
"Here you go, you go. I want to be alone."
"Okay, your honor."
Warlords Choi and Liu Wei left Emperor Shun alone.
"Liking empress Yan, heh. That never happened." The emperor Shun.
From far away concubine Ning saw emperor Shun talking to himself, he then walked over to emperor Shun.
"Hail your majesty." Said concubine Ning while bowing her body slightly.
"Oh concubine Ning, you're coming."
"Yes your honor. The servant saw the noble sitting alone here, so the servant came to accompany the noble."
"You understand best."
"Pardon your noble servant, but is your majesty angry with someone?"
Emperor Shun looked at concubine Ning.
"Yes you're right."
"If you may know, who has made your majesty angry?"
"That's the important thing. Come on, you're gonna play chess with me."
"All right then, your majesty."
Emperor Shun and concubine Ning then played chess together. Although concubine Ning was disappointed that Emperor Shun had not been able to open up and trust her completely, she still tried not to force Emperor Shun to speak.
