King's Regrets
The Eps 76
Ruan Yi had already heard of the return of crown prince Zhang, he was beautifying himself so beautifully and hoped that if crown prince Zhang would change his mind towards the future empress he had once said.
Quickly Ruan Yi walked into the palace, he had absolutely no idea if crown prince Zhang had brought Xia Lian An along with him. So when he saw the crown prince who was with Xia Lian An, he felt very upset.
"That venomous woman, why did big brother Jiang bring that s*alan woman to the palace? I can't make her the consort of big brother Jiang, only I deserve."
With emotion, Ruan Yi left the palace. He would tell both his parents to help get rid of Xia Lian An who was currently already in the palace.
"Look, I'll make you disappear from this world. And brother Jiang will be mine." Ruan Yi muttered all the way from the palace to his home.
The queen who saw Ruan Yi's departure in annoyance, felt worried for Xia Lian An. After all, Ruan Yi had liked her son for a long time, she would definitely not be that easy to accept her son's decision, and would do the unexpected to interrupt Xia Lian An.
"I must tell your highness the emperor, I feel like something will happen." Queen's speech.
Crown Prince Zhang and Xia Lian An who did not know if Ruan Yi had come to the palace were still playing chess happily.
At the Ruan family home, Ruan Yi who had arrived immediately told his parents, if crown prince Zhang had returned and brought Xia Lian An to the palace.
"Dad, mother, I really like Brother Jiang, I don't want Brother Jiang to marry that lowly woman." Ruan Yi's.
"Calm down my daughter, you will definitely be the sole wife and consort of the crown prince." Ruan Yi's mother's words calmed him down.
"Don't worry, I heard that tomorrow the crown prince will gather all the people and will tell everyone who will be the crown prince's consort, if that woman is the crown prince's intention, he said, we're certainly going to eliminate him, right in front of everyone who comes."
"Did you have a plan?"
"Of course, I'll have the assassin kill the woman, when the crown prince introduces her to all the people as his empress."
"Dad, are you going to kill that woman in front of everyone?"
"Right, that woman will die in front of the people she thought could accept her as the empress of this country."
"But father, if the murderer is caught and tells the emperor's uncle, we will definitely...."
"Just calm down, before dad tells him to leave for the open hall. I will give him the food that I have poisoned first, and I will see him eat all the food that I have prepared. The poison would react three hours after he ate it, so when he was caught by the royal guard, he would die before he said who had ordered it."
"Dad, you're so great. This way the lowly woman will die, and the empress' position will be mine."
"Of course, only my daughter deserves that position."
Ruan Yi smiled happily, as soon as he would see Xia Lian An sprawled and die helplessly.
"Heh, Miss Xia. Have fun, for soon you will disappear from this world."
***
At the Qin state palace, emperor Shun had a guest from the Ming state representative.
Right now, the eunuch of the Ming state chief was sitting in front of emperor Shun. In front of him were some gift boxes he had brought from Ming country.
"Your highness emperor Shun, I am the eunuch of the head of the Ming state who was sent by my emperor's majesty to give this letter to his highness emperor Shun, and also to give these gifts." Said the eunuch of the Ming state leader without further ado.
The eunuch of the Ming state chief gave a brown scroll to the eunuch of emperor Shun.
"The emperor's majesty also said, if the past will never return. Then let that person be happy with someone who loves him more."
Emperor Shun clenched his hands, he perfectly understood what the eunuch of the Ming state chief said that was.
Slowly Emperor Shun opened the brown scroll of the eunuch of the Ming state leader. Both of his eyes were rounded and his hands were squeezing the scroll in his grasp.
She was so very emotional, yet she recalled what empress Rui had said and what the eunuch of state leader Ming had said earlier.
"What...they (Emperor and Queen) have already approved the marriage of crown prince Zhang to him (Xia Lian An)?" Emperor Shun said after reading the contents of the scroll.
"Right, your majesty, please, your highness emperor Shun can permit what my great emperor has written. It's also for the peace of our two countries."
With the words peace of the two countries, it meant that if emperor Shun rejected the will of the emperor of the Ming country, then the two countries would not be as peaceful as they are today.
"Qing Lian, is this what you want? Married to the crown prince of another country?"
Emperor Shun stared at that eunuch of the Ming state leader.
"Well, I'll write a decree permitting them to stay in this Qin state after they get married." Emperor Shun.
"I represent my emperor's majesty, thanking him for the kindness and wisdom of the glorious emperor Shun. May our country always be at peace together."
Emperor Shun of course allowed crown prince Zhang to stay in his country after marrying Xia Lian An by force. It was because he did not want the kingdom of the Ming state to be hostile to the state of Qin, if he refused to agree to the wishes of the emperor of the Ming state.
The Ming state had more and more powerful warriors than the Qin state, it would only create a blood war for the Qin state, if the emperor Shun was unwilling to fulfill the wishes of the emperor of the Ming state. And that's what's upsetting him right now.
After that, Emperor Shun had the royal officials who used to write his edict to make an edict, he said, he allowed Crown Prince Zhang to live in the Qin state after marrying one of the Qin citizens (Xia Lian An).
Emperor Shun gave a golden scroll with his word to his eunuch to give to the eunuch of the Ming state leader.
"Thank you, your highness emperor Shun. I will directly give this edict to his highness the crown prince after arriving at the Ming state palace."
"Good."
"If so, I will return to the Ming country now and no longer interfere with the time of the glorious emperor Shun."
"All right then."
After paying his respects, the eunuch of the Ming state leader who had not rested at all returned to the Ming state.
The chief eunuch was accompanied by three great bodyguards on his horse and walked out of the great gate of the Qin state royal palace.
Inside the palace hall, emperor Shun felt uneasy. His chest was so claustrophobic after knowing that soon Xia Lian An would marry another man, and that man was none other than his own friend who had long liked Xia Lian An.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Said the eunuch chief worried.
"I can't take care of her, I always hurt her when she was my queen. But why, why wouldn't I be willing if she was going to marry someone who could really protect her?" Emperor Shun's words were filled with regret.
"Your Majesty, if only you had heard what the princess said. Perhaps now, the previous empress is still the empress of this country."
Emperor Shun nodded, what the eunuch chief said was true. He was the one who mistrusted people, he was the one who was stupid because it was easy to be deceived by concubine Ning first. Now only regrets are he getting, and he should also be able to see the late former empress he loves living happily with other men who love him more.
