Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Disappointment

Wu Li Mei stared coldly at Yang Jia Li who was being carried by several soldiers. Wu Li Mei knew that if the scheming empress was just pretending, of course, that was her forte. His Netherworld accidentally met Zhou Xing Huan, the prince back thrashed as the soldiers herded him back to prison. There was a sense of pity to see him having to bear Yang Jia Li's guilt with his life, but it was a punishment worth his deeds. Even if Wu Li Mei knew that Zhou Xing Huan had only been taken advantage of in this situation, the innocent and naive young prince would have been consumed only by Yang Jia Li's incitement.

Wu Li Mei clenched her hands, this time the cunning empress managed to escape again. Though he had already desperately revealed the truth about Yang Jia Li. Wu Li Mei stood up, he was about to protest to the emperor. But, his two children came near with the queen mother. Wu Li Mei was forced to hold back.

"Mom, what the hell is this!" the Zhou Ming Hao.

"How can it get away so easily?" added Zhou Fang Yin inexhaustibly, the two twin brothers saw the court ceremony from start to finish. They of course felt disappointed by the decision made by the emperor. They had desperately gathered evidence but the results obtained were incompatible.

The queen mother looked at the entourage carrying the empress in annoyance, "We already have enough evidence, it should be enough to punish Yang Jia Li."

Zhou Fang Yin nodded, "Yes, grandma. But the support of the empress mother is very strong, what should we do?"

The supporters of Yang Jia Li were already no secret if they were to blatantly control the empire, many members of the Yang Clan became high-ranking officials in the empire. Therefore, Yang Jia Li did not have to worry about the behavior he was doing. For example, this time, he easily escaped thanks to the intervention of Yang Hong Hui and Yang Jian Zhu. The two people who became the pillar of the power of Yang Jia Li.

"Mom, let's do something!"

"I can't accept this decision."

"Mom, we must do something before it's too late." urged Zhou Ming Hao. The crown prince was upset himself to see Yang Jia Li's entourage, maybe they looked chaotic and upset because the lord was unconscious. But in their hearts they must have cheered with joy.

Wu Li Mei nodded, she held the shoulders of her two children. "Mother will talk to the emperor, you guys wait in Xiao Ling's pavilion. We will work out the next plan there, take care of Xiao Ling for a while."

The concubine glanced through the tail of her eyes the emperor was about to leave, quickly following her. His steps led the woman to the row of rooms that were behind the hall courtyard. Apparently, Emperor Zhou went towards a special room in the torture hall. What he was doing, Wu Li Mei did not know for sure, which is certain these rooms might be weapons storage warehouses.

Wu Li Mei waited from behind the door as the emperor walked into a hidden room, the woman preferring to wait for the right moment to speak. He was silent while twisting his lentic fingers to drive away boredom.

"May-er?"

Wu Li Mei turned her head, but the concubine just kept silent without any intention of answering anything. The look in his eyes was cold and flat, at a glance that gaze was exactly the same as the old Wu Li Mei.

"What are you doing here?" ask the emperor again.

"I want to talk."

Emperor Zhou frowned, he turned his head to the right and left to make sure no one was stealing the hearing. "Should it be here?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Alright, say!"

Wu Li Mei stared fixedly at the black bead that washed away, there was no more admiration for him, there was only a sense of disappointment. "Why did you get rid of the empress?" wu Li Mei asked directly.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean?" the concubine sighed. "Is this a fair decision?"

"Yang Jia Li was clearly involved in the mercury poison, but you instead handed the punishment only to Zhou Xing Huan. It's not fair, is it? Look what he did to my daughter. He poisoned her on purpose."

"Zhou Xie Ling almost died from the poison, and you instead released the empress this time."

Emperor Zhou turned his head to the right and left to make sure no one stole their hearing, and he had expected that Wu Li Mei would be the first to be angry with his decision. But what to say, the evidence to ensnare Yang Jia Li was still lacking, even the supreme judge received a defense from the Yang Clan.

The Emperor could naturally reject the verdict, but the possibility of still blaming Yang Jia Li for this matter was minuscule. They still don't have any solid evidence for it.

"We don't have solid evidence yet to punish the empress."

"Strong evidence?!" wu Li Mei's. "Oh, jeez! The truth is, what evidence we have is not strong enough."

"The evidence refers more to Zhou Xing Huan, Mei-er."

"Then?" Wu Li Mei raised her right eyebrow, "Is that the right reason to pass it? What about the jade ornaments?"

Emperor Zhou sighed softly, he grabbed onto Wu Li Mei's two palms and grasped them. The clenched hand felt cold, mixed with the freezing winter temperatures. "We have to give in to better prepare ourselves, Mei-er. Yang Jia Li was not an indiscriminate person, he could not be destroyed easily. There are many loyal supporters behind, if you want to ensnare Yang Jia Li, we need a strong trap."

Wu Li Mei jerked both hands, "You're wrong! We're not giving up, we're losing." he said.

Wu Li Mei averted her gaze as her two eyes started to blur, again she was weak, disappointed, and angry. But he could not vent the emotions in his head at this moment.

"I can't really count on you" Wu Li Mei said softly and coldly.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't count on you." repeated the grand concubine.

Emperor Zhou sharpened his eyes, drawing out right at the concubine's bead. "You doubted me?"

"After all this, there's no way I still trust you."

"I still have a plan, Mei-er. It's still bell-----"

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

Wu Li Mei and the compact emperor turned their heads at one point, Dayang Yi. The lady-in-waiting seemed to be struggling to walk over to Wu Li Mei.

Dayang Yi immediately looked down respectfully, the middle-aged woman caught her breath in a stupefied manner.

"Sa.sa.salam, Your Majesty."

"Rise!" wu Li Mei's.

"Daughter...daughter Xie Ling!"

"What's wrong with Xiao Ling?!" Wu Li Mei subconsciously raised her tone, if it was related to the little princess, Wu Li Mei was always wary.

"Princess coughs great, Your Majesty."
