King's Regrets
Eps 5's

The next day Empress Yan was picked up by several palace guards and also a presiding eunuch to return to the palace by royal carriage on the orders of emperor Shun.

Inside the carriage, Empress Yan looked at the streets by opening a little window-covering cloth on the carriage.

"I didn't expect, I'd feel like riding a royal train like this." Said empress Yan.

After entering the gate of the royal palace, the carriage stopped then the curtain that covered the carriage door in was opened.

"Your highness, we've arrived at the royal palace." Xiao Wei.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Wei then helped Empress Yan get off the carriage.

Empress Yan looked at the large building that was in front of her, she looked to the right and to the left with a look of astonishment.

"This royal building looks bigger and stronger than the buildings in modern times."

"Your noble consort, your highness the emperor is waiting for you in the palace." Said a eunuch to him.

"Well this emperor, can't bear to insult and beat me up again?" Empress Yan muttered.

"Your majesty." Xiao Wei said anxiously.

"I understand. Let's take me to meet the emperor's majesty."

The eunuch then walked to take them to the palace to meet the emperor Shun.

"Your highness, your majesty Empress Yan is here to face." Said the eunuch to emperor Shun.

"Let him in." Emperor Shun.

After obtaining permission from emperor Shun. Empress Yan walked into the palace.

All the ornaments inside the palace amazed Empress Yan so much that she did not notice the emperor Shun who was sitting accompanied by concubine Ning.

"It turns out that the noble empress is very brave, to the point of daring not to pay respect to the noble emperor's bottom first." Said concubine Ning.

The words of concubine Ning made Empress Yan forced to stop her gaze from the ornaments in the palace.

"I think who would have dared to say to me so presumptuously, it turns out that you are elir Ning. Do you feel like a queen there?" Said empress Yan loudly.

Consort Ning and emperor Shun were surprised to hear Empress Yan's extremely bold remark to concubine Ning.

"You..."

"You? Concubine Ning, you don't even deserve to call me by that call. Ah right, if remembered again all this time you never saluted me. Are you no longer able to follow the rules in this royal palace?"

Concubine Ning could not say anything. She was still very surprised by the huge change in empress Yan, usually empress Yan would bow her head and cry. But now he dared to answer concubine Ning's words out loud.

"Enough! Empress Yan, you just arrived at the palace and you want to make a troublemaker?" Emperor Shun.

Empress Yan looked at the emperor Shun's two eyes.

"I wouldn't care about what your dear noble lady says, if only she knew her position."

Both emperor Shun's eyes were rounded, he did not understand what Empress Yan was saying.

Empress Yan turned around and stepped her feet.

"And also, I won't wait for your love back again. Because I've buried all my feelings for your noble one."

Empress Yan again stepped on her feet and left the imperial palace of Shun.

Both hands of Emperor Shun clenched. He felt extremely furious at what Empress Yan had said.

"Empress Yan, it seems you have forgotten what I did to you last time. How dare you say that to me!"

Consort Ning who was beside emperor Shun was also upset with empress Yan. Moreover, he had been humiliated in front of Emperor Shun.

"Basically j*lang, just wait. I'll make you sorry that I came back here!"

Meanwhile, Empress Yan decided to return to Ju's palace, which was at the northern end of the royal palace.

"Your highness, why are we going to Ju's palace?" Xiao Wei asked did not understand.

"Before we go to the prime minister's residence, we stay at Ju's palace. So now we have to go back there too."

"But your highness.."

"I don't want to live close to that person. Besides Ju's palace isn't bad either, it's quieter there."

"Your majesty."

"Don't worry Xiao Wei. I won't let his majesty the emperor touch me again."

Xiao Wei looked at Empress Yan. She really felt there was something different about her empress.

Empress Yan smiled at Xiao Wei and walked towards the royal carriage that was still outside the king's palace.

"Look, this train is still here. That means they're ready to take us back to Ju's palace."

Xiao Wei did see that the carriage was still there, but he did not know that it was deliberately left to bring them back to Ju's palace.

"Come, it's time to go back. I'm so tired."

"Okay, your honor."

Soon the carriage went to Ju's palace.

Emperor Shun, who did not know if Empress Yan had returned to Ju's court, ordered her eunuchs to tighten the Yan empress' guard inside Yue Ji's palace.

Kasim immediately carried out the orders of emperor Shun. He then went out and looked for the head of the palace guard.

"Eunuch." Speak the head of the guard.

"You, bring your 6 best guards to stand guard in the palace of the noble empress Yan."

"Sorry eunuch, what do you mean at Ju's palace?"

"Did the noble empress Yan go to Ju's palace?"

"Right, a while ago I saw the noble go to Ju's palace with the royal carriage."

The eunuch was very surprised, he no longer spoke to the head of the bodyguard. He immediately went to the emperor to inform him of the news.

"Her Majesty the emperor, your majesty."

Emperor Shun stared at the eunuch with dislike.

"What's wrong? Why are you so noisy eunuchs?" Said concubine Ning who was still together with emperor Shun.

"Punished the noble servant."

"Have it, tell me what's up?" Emperor Shun.

"Your highness, your highness empress Yan.. Your highness empress Yan, she's back at Ju's palace."

"What's? He would rather go back to that small and cold palace!"

"Right, right, your majesty."

Emperor Shun's hand clenched because again he was irritated by Empress Yan who bravely decided to stay in Ju's palace without her knowledge.

"Your Majesty, perhaps Empress Yan would rather be there. Let it go." Said concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning tried to appease emperor Shun, her hand reaching out and grasping the hand of emperor Shun.

"Well you're right. Just let him do what he wants."

"Yes your honor."

"Eunuch, you go and ask some guards to stand guard at Ju's palace."

"Okay, your honor."

The eunuch left.

Although concubine Ning was pleased that Emperor Shun had allowed Empress Yan to stay at Ju's palace, she was happy, but he remained unwilling as emperor Shun still paid attention by sending a few more bodyguards to keep Empress Yan safe.

The loyal servant of concubine Ning gestured to concubine Ning from the side.

"Your highness, you better eat first. The palace servants have prepared food for you."

Emperor Shun turned his head "Alright, let's eat."

Concubine Ning nodded and smiled happily at emperor Shun.

The two of them went to the Hua pavilion to enjoy their lunch there.

Meanwhile, at Ju's palace, Empress Yan, who had just arrived, was greeted by loyal servants inside Ju's palace to wait for Empress Yan.

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Your Majesty, please do not worry us anymore."

"Thank God your Majesty is back."

Empress Yan was delighted to see her servants worry so much about her.

"Your majesty, I have made a noble favorite meal. You better eat it before it all gets cold." Said the waiter who was in charge of the kitchen.

"thank you. I'm glad to have you guys so loyal to me."

All the servants were shocked by Empress Yan's words. It used to be that Empress Yan cared only for emperor Shun, although they had often advised Empress Yan, but empress Yan was never willing to listen to them and still ran around to get the attention of emperor Shun.

"Your majesty."

"Alright, after passing one death. I think I need to change myself. I will always be with you here and will no longer care what the emperor does there."

"Your highness. Long live a glorious life, happiness will always be with his noble consort." A servant prostrated in front of Empress Yan.

"Long live the noble consort." Say all the servants while prostrating.

Seeing that Empress Yan flinched, she did not know if her words would make them so happy.

"Qing Lian, you're such a fool that you're letting people who are loyal to you be neglected."

"Of course, you're up fast. You don't have to bow down that way too often to me."

The servants stood up and looked at Empress Yan with happy eyes.

After so many years, Empress Yan was finally able to change, and said that she would not care about emperor Shun who had often beaten her.
