Request assistance
Wu Li Mei did not think that meeting with father would be this hot, her father who used to be very and happy to joke. But it seemed that the original concubine's father was not that pleasant, as evidenced from a few minutes ago they walked together to enjoy the cool afternoon breeze, the emperor did not invite him to speak first. Should he start that conversation? But what he wanted to talk about with his father, he never thought of talking to the father who was an emperor. It will be awkward and full of crew.
The concubine soaked her dry lips while squeezing her fingers, her hands were cold and frozen when the spring sun shone warmly. The magnificent palace was very busy, many maids and bodyguards passed by busily. They were preparing for the coronation of crown prince Wu Zhen who would become the next emperor with a lot of preparations. There will be a feast of the people and so on that will also enliven the coronation of the new emperor.
Trying to take in as deep a breath as possible to expel the nervousness, Wu Li Mei came to a halt in a large pot with beautiful blooming peonies. “Dad, did you know my daughter really likes peonies?” Wu Li Mei glanced fearfully, afraid that the father was not interested in the conversation he was trying to open.
“Really? Then I will send a lot of peonies to Zhou Fang Yin.” The answer.
“Not, not Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin prefers the sweet smelling jasmine flowers of father, who likes peonies is my other daughter.” Wu Li Mei was silent staring at the pink peony for quite a while, her heart still felt sad whenever she remembered about the little princess.
“Then who else? Isn't your daughter just Zhou Fang Yin?”
Wu Li Mei smiled wryly then shook her head, “I have one daughter continued father, she is a beautiful seven-year-old child. Unfortunately since childhood he experienced many health problems, so very often experience pain. I love him as much as my own son, but he left me last winter.”
Emperor Wu stared at the princess's tender look with a gamang, a lot of which changed from his little princess first. The incident of Wu Li Mei sinking in the lake and experiencing memory loss, apparently has changed a lot of new things in the youngest princess. In the past, because he was the youngest, he was in charge of anything. His parents always obey and his brothers always give up, so it is impossible to see Wu Li Mei can love others sincerely, especially he is not his flesh and blood. “What is he sick?”
“No, she doesn't hurt.” Wu Li Mei replied firmly, that glint of anger was clearly implied in both of her clear eyes. “He was poisoned with mercury.”
“Who firmly does it, Mei-may?!” emperor Wu asked, the mercury poison is already very famous for being able to kill quickly. The circulation is always monitored so as not to be misused again, but now a princess can be killed because of it. The emperor stopped his steps and looked at the princess looking for answers. “How can mercury poison your daughter, isn't everything well guarded by the empire?”
“Everything is well taken care of dad, I take good care of it too. Every day he was always sad and crying in pain, I've given him a lot of herbal medicine and he's getting better again, but that joy must be destroyed when mercury poisons his food.”
“You know who the mastermind is?”
Wu Li Mei looked up as she stared fixedly at the father, “The culprit is Yang Jia Li, definitely he and his target is me.”
“Empress Ming?”
“Yes, who else can do it if not someone who has the power.”
“Because she wanted to kill me father, the cunning empress wanted to kill me to eliminate her eternal enemy. In a painful way through my dear daughter.”
Emperor Wu sighed deeply as he closed his eyes tightly, the power rivalry between the empress and concubine was always going on wherever it was. Monarchy always leads to the loss of innocent lives, for example, Wu Li Mei's daughter, she becomes a victim of a power struggle that she should not bear.
Wu Li Mei's hand just kept stroking the peony petals, she would not pluck them for fear of her beauty withering away quickly. In this palace there were many large pots of pottery that were deliberately planted with flowers beautifully, if only Zhou Fang Yin participated, he would be very happy to see jasmine blooming in the palace courtyard. Ah, how are they doing there, hopefully everything will be fine.
“What consort punished?”
Wu Li Mei shook her head, “No, because she bestowed her guilt on Zhou Xing Huan, an emperor who was exiled by the palace. The law does not apply to him because he is the master of that law, but I will not let this continue.”
Wu Li Mei grabbed the father's arm and grasped it tightly, “Dad, I need your support to become Empress Ming. Will father help me to ascend the throne as soon as possible, I must kill Yang Jia Li because lives must be paid with lives.” Said the concubine in earnest, there is no lie implied from it. Ambition, anger and revenge are very real.
The emperor fell silent to think of the princess' request, she was indeed about to step down, but the emperor still had his loyal army and countless treasures. The emperor was eager to spend his old days without thinking about politics and war, in a comfortable valley with his future queen mother. His health was deteriorating and he needed peace to pray to the gods. Wu Li Mei asked for a favor, it meant that he wanted to ally with the Hang Empire. The ambition was apparently still the same, the princess remained the same as she used to be, she always had a strong and desperate ambition to make it happen.
“How's dad? You want to help me? Just give me some of your troops and territory, if only I don't manage to kill him, I'll torture him in exile.”
“Sabarlah Mei-may, everything is not as easy as you think son, I have to think about this carefully. Why don't you ask your sister to help?” ask emperor.
“Means dad won't help me.” Wu Li Mei retracted her hand, she lowered her head sadly from the rejection. Wu Li Mei must be able to win the heart of the father no matter how, he needs soldiers and territory to survive. And like Yang Jia Li, he wanted to utilize the power of the father.
Wu Li Mei pretended to wipe her tears, “I'm sorry dad, I've been so presumptuous by asking for your help to depose Empress Ming, I do not deserve to ask her from you.”
“I mean not so, Mei-may.”
The great concubine shook her head, “No father, this is my fault, you better forget my request earlier.”
“Alright, father agreed to give you troops and territory.”
