EMPRESS TO PRINCE
CHAPTRE 33
"But sister, I did tell you the truth" said Arana sorrowfully in a cynical gaze by everyone.
"your Majesty must believe in me" said Arana staring expectantly at the prince of Jikxi, Arana in the eyes of others now looks so fragile.
"you must help me today" whispered Arana as she winked at Prince Jikxi, hoping that the man who had now officially become her fiance would cooperate with her.
"it could be, but there's a price you have to pay later." lightly prince Jikxi with a meaningful look.
"it can be discussed later, which is clear you have to help me, or your reputation will be destroyed along with my destruction" whispered Arana full of threats.
"please leave everything to me"
"You're saying that if Arana received many gifts earlier that she couldn't tell the difference between the emperor's giving and someone else's giving?" asked the prince Jikxi as he looked at Bai min meaningfully.
"really noble" Bai min replied confidently.
"Arana you have to admit that, the emperor will understand your stupidity if you want to confess Arana, believe me." continued Bai min while looking at Arana with understanding.
"do you think Arana is a stupid little girl who can't tell which quality goods with lowly goods huh?! even if he can't tell the difference it's not his fault but yours!, my innocent and innocent little Arana is very easy to be fooled by you rotten hearts!" hardik prince Jikxi with murderous aura.
"no noble, that's not what I mean by servants" elak Bai min fearfully pressed down by prince Jikxi.
"Well, Arana will admit your mistake or our family will be in big trouble this time!" insist Bai min while looking intently at Arana
"so I'm not like that hyx. I really don't do his hyx... everything I wear today is indeed the item that was delivered by the father's servant to my pavilion, I myself received Nobu, Darxa and Xixi as witnesses " the sad cry of Arana beside prince Jikxi, it was clear that the girl was feeling oppressed.
"emperor you must give justice to my fiancee! I don't want any bad rumors about her to be circulating out there after today! please be clear as soon as possible, Your Majesty!" firmly prince Jikxi while tightly hugging Arana's tiny body that looks so pitiful.
"Mentry of justice will resolve the matter immediately!" the emperor was firm.
"your Majesty, let the servant go check on the residence of the minister of Huan" said the general who volunteered, saying, he wanted to prove how shameless Arana was who was reluctant to receive attention from Bai min and also Minister Huan who had tried to remind Arana, so as not to cause trouble to the examination stage, so as not to cause trouble, but like her the little girl was too stupid so inevitably general Pang had to act to punish the little girl himself after the examination was over.
General Pang is the one who hates the most people who play tricks, what else is that person playing before his eyes, therefore he strongly distrusts all the absurd reasons of Arana's prior explanation, general Pang greatly doubted Arana's explanation for having seen a very clear gap in each of his words, what else the emperor's gift could be valued with just a glance, even a fool would know the difference in the quality of the items that the emperor was very giving away with the items that others were giving away.
But in order to appease all hearts, General Pang will prove his own, he wants to know how long Arana can play tricks in front of him.
"heh, wanting to play with fire in front of me, he is still not worthy." cynical general Pang in heart.
"go" the emperor said.
"good noble one" said general Pang and immediately rushed off leaving the kingdom.
"and for the entire family of the Huan minister it is not permissible to leave the kingdom before the investigation is completed!" the emperor's order was firm.
"good your honor" answered the family member Metri Huan.
The event that had been running well immediately changed 180° because of the stupidity of Arana.
"Why didn't I rebuke that unlucky girl first before coming here?! if I had done it before coming here, he would never have done something stupid like this! it's a pity that my family gave birth to a descendant like her!." said the great madam angrily staring at Arana's hateful manner.
"ck, why doesn't that stupid girl just admit it?, if this is what should I do?." upset Bai min in the heart who is feeling restless with the results to be obtained by General Pang later.
"Arana why are you so stubborn like this? do you know the consequences of what you did today, huh?" asked mantri Huan with a look full of anger towards Arana.
"i know, but I don't care, the name that's going to be tarnished is your surname and I'm, I'm not in it, and anyway what you gave me is what I'm wearing, if you don't believe you can ask your beloved daughter." cynical Arana answered the Huan minister in a whisper but could still be heard clearly by the Huan minister.
Hearing Arana's words, minister Huan immediately looked at Bai min meaningfully, then realized the hairpin that Bai Min was wearing now looks familiar in his eyes and immediately minister Huan was immediately stunned because he realized something.
Of course the minister of Huan had already gotten an answer from Arana's words before him, but what was the power of rice to have become porridge, the emperor would definitely not let go of his family so easily, either, even to be angry, Minister Huan was not given any rights at all.
"essential stupid and careless girl, like mya I was overindulging her!" murmured minister Huan while staring angrily at Bai min. but Bai min still did not realize anything because the distance between Bai min and Minister Huan was quite far away, unlike Arana's distance with Minister Huan which was quite close.
"So did he take all your belongings?" whispered Prince Jikxi while looking coldly at Bai min who was seen clenching his hands strong, it was very clear fear was seen there.
"you'll know after General Pang returns." lightly Arana.
Three hours wait finally General Pang returned with all the goods that the emperor had given before him to propose Arana and also some goods with poor quality, along with several servants of the Huan ministerial residence.
"Your noble report, all these items are on your list of gifts to ask Miss Arana before her, complete with official clothes and jewelry, she said, but there are still some other items that have not been found there and this one is the item that Miss Arana meant a while ago." general Pang said firmly while handing over all the items he got.
"stands the general" said the emperor.
"in fact Zen does not need the general to bring all these items, because all of them have been given to Miss Arana, but Zen awaits what the general has found there." continued the emperor.
"please forgive the emperor, but I must bring all these things, so that they are much clearer before your noble eyes" said General Pang.
"alright, according to your investigation" said the emperor.
General Pang then said the results of his investigation inside the house of minister Huan today, all the items he brought before the emperor there was not a single item he took from the residence of Arana, he said, and even the maid of the Arana residence did not know that her missus had obtained such a lot of precious items.
The three servants of the Arana pavilion said that their lady had indeed received the dowry that the emperor had sent some time ago through the servant who was sent by Minister Huan, but all the items pointed out by the three are low-quality items such as clothing and jewelry that Arana wears today, all of those items were indeed items that Arana received from the ministerial servant Huan the other day.
After that, General Pang said that the items given by the emperor were mostly in the residence of the first lady minister Huan (Bai min) and the others were in the residence of the minister of Huan himself, it was strengthened by several witnesses and servants who were the perpetrators of the Huan ministerial envoy to provide low-quality goods to Arana.
Hearing the results of General Pang's investigation the face of minister Huan instantly turned deathly pale, but there was a killing aura in his view.
"please forgive your majesty, this lowly servant did indeed take some of the goods you gave to the servant's daughter, but the servant really gave what should be given to the servant's daughter." clearly the Huan minister immediately prostrated himself pleading for mercy before the emperor.
