Zhou Dong stood up this time getting angry on behalf of his brother. The high priest stared directly at Zhou Dong as if they were about to confront each other. The empress saw what was happy and quickly came to stand in between them. “Enough. This is the emperor's funeral. Even if he was no longer the son of heaven in his later days, he was still the son of heaven before. Let's just keep silent.” The empress said. Without saying a single word, the high priest left the place not even bothering to pay his respect to the emperor. This caused everyone to be surprised. At the same time, it was bad since the burial of the emperor needed to be done by the high priest. The empress left running after the high priest to talk to him but she didn't see him. Coming back, the empress noticed that Zhou Dong was still holding Wu Huan. Having no other choice, the burial of the late emperor went on like that. For two weeks, the royal family marched round the capital with the emperor's body in a coff
Wu Huan looked confused at Dai Chan when she asked if his uncle was around. Somehow, she always came to his rescue whenever he needed her. It was already night so there was no one awake. Chen Wu Ying's room was right next to his uncle and his wife while his was far away so there was no way they would see her. “The emperor is dead. Do you know this?” Dai Chan asked even though she knew he must have heard. He was such a little boy and yet, he had gone so far as to drive the emperor to his death. Dai Chan knew he must be feeling bad. “It doesn't matter. Today, I went to see Zhao Yao. I have found a way to enter the Feng manor. I will have Zhao Yao taken out of there soon. Your cousin has ascended the throne now. You have also gotten your revenge. Things should stop here. Just continue to live a normal life.” Dai Chan said. For the rest of the night, Dai Chan carried Wu Huan over the wall so that he could burn paper money for his parents. Since it was over the wall, the servants could
While the empress and Shi Heng were talking, the empress's personal maid walked round the manor looking for Wu Huan. This was not the first time she had been here so it was easy for her to navigate her way through. The problem was she didn't know which place Wu Huan was occupying. Coming to the middle of a crossroad, the empress's personal maid just chose any road and decided to go along with it. After walking for a long time, the empress's personal maid decided to return back the same way she came. “Sure. I can take Chen Wu Ying along with me.” the empress said watching as Shi Heng became pleased with herself. While they were talking, the empress's personal maid arrived shaking her head as she gave signal to the empress. “Okay. I have to return back to the palace. The prime minister has gone to battle. I have to take care of His Majesty." The empress said. " Where is Wu Huan and Chen Wu Ying? Go and get them ready for the empress.” Shi Heng said. A few seconds later, the maids a
Immediately he entered the brothel, Xing Ming saw the place was fuller than usual. Glancing around, Xing Ming tried to look for Dai Chan. Back in the palace, he had heard that Dai Chan became the new mistress of the brothel. Even then, he was not able to come see her to congratulate her. Some of the girls recognized him making their eyes widened. One of the girls went running to tell Yu Bai. “Really? His Majesty is here?" Yu Bai asked happy to finally have the chance to please the emperor. Once she becomes the emperor's consort, she won't have to put up with that annoying Dai Chan or better yet, she would have the opportunity to finally teach that annoying little girl a lesson. Meanwhile, Dai Chan was in her room doing her makeup when she saw Yu Bai running down the stairs in a hurry. “Where is she running to?" Dai Chan asked the girl who was doing her makeup. “I don't know, Miss Dai." Dai Chan heard the girl answer making her sigh. She had asked such a question when the girl had
The empress saw Xing Ming talking to the emperor and became worried. The high priest had caused a lot of trouble in the late emperor's time and now, he was having private talks with Xing Ming.“High priest, I didn't see you in the court meeting. What are you doing here right now?" The empress asked." There is no need for you to be hostile, mother. The high priest was just talking to me.” Xing Ming said.“Remember what I told you, Your Majesty.” The high priest said leaving.The empress watched the high priest staring at him intensely until he left.“What was the high priest telling you?” The empress asked.“Why are you anxious? Are you afraid that he might spill your secrets?” Xing Ming asked.“Zhou Xing Ming. Don't think that because you have become the emperor, you can talk to me however you like. I won't allow you too.” The empress said sternly making Xing Ming afraid. He had always been afraid of his mother just as much as he loved her.“ Fine. He just told me that if I want some
Zhou Dong left Xing Ming and the empress to continue taking while the empress continued to get frustrated with her son. Xing Ming wasn't usually this stubborn. “Fine. I don't want you to faint here and then, I would be seen as an unfilial emperor. Mother, you know I don't want to fight with you, right? I just don't want to collect the seal now.” Xing Ming said switching his techniques to calm his mother. His mother was an empress. A very stubborn phoenix who they believed came from the heavens. For him, she was just a stubborn woman who would do anything to get her way. Arguing with her certainly wouldn't help. “His Majesty is right. Your health is mofe important, Queen Mother." The Empress Dowager's personal maid said supporting Xing Ming. “How I worry about my health now? Can't you see how stubborn he's behaving lately? He's not listening to a single thing I'm telling him.” The empress said . “Your Majesty, in my opinion, I think you should put Her Highness's worries to res
Just as Zhou Dong expected, Madam Shi's visit wasn't for anything good. It was now time for dinner and Madam Shi's eyes were almost about to kill the little boys as she was constantly staring at them. Wu Huan noticed it but he didn't care. Ever since he had suggested the adoption of another child in the manor, his days had become numbered.“ Are these the boys you adopted?" Madam Shi asked." Yes. This is Chen Wu Ying. And that is Wu Huan.” Madam Shi heard Zhou Dong say and stared at Wu Huan.It was just as she had heard about him. Wu Huan appeared to be a gentle, silent boy who could do no wrong. Unfortunately, she's knew better. The silent ones were the most devilish ones.“ Greetings grandmother." Chen Wu Ying said standing up to greet Shi Heng's mother.“Who is your grandmother? The only grandchildren I have are the ones that Shi Heng gives birth to.” Madam Shi said.“Mother in law.” Zhou Dong said trying to talk to Madam Shi.“Mother." Shi Heng said grabbing her mother's hand but
“You are now the prime minister. Of course they just attend your banquets from now on. But I don't understand. Why are you trying to set up the Emperor with Lord Kaifeng's daughter?” Shi Heng asked. “ Who said I wanted to set the Emperor with Lord Kaifeng's daughter? I am just holding a banquet for him. Why don't you go and check out what is supposed to be done in the kitchen?” Zhou Dong asked. Shi Heng nodded her head leaving Zhou Dong alone. Her relationship with her husband was getting worse by the moment. He didn't even seem to want to talk to her as much as before. “Shi Heng, what are you doing?” Madam Shi asked when she saw Shi Heng coming from Zhou Dong's room. “I have to go and check what needs to be done." Shi Heng said. " Everything has been done accordingly. You must not go missing. Stay in the crowd.” Madam Shi said. “Will this work? What if Zhou Dong has it investigated?” Shi Heng asked afraid as she looked at her mother. “All they will find is nothing. Don't worry
