LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 33 - King of Tyrants

The hourglass was seen by King Wen Lei's bedside, leaving Ryu full of suspicion. He approached and greeted. "West Temple Tabib?" The Emperor looked so confused, he had long heard the term great physician named the Western Temple Physician. However, he did not expect that the famous physician was a woman.

"How is the Emperor?"

"It's getting better, what pills are you giving?"

"It was an immunity-boosting pill the body had made directly by the Servant Master. His Majesty has already consumed the iris flower, thus making His Majesty instantly fall ill."

"What kind of "flowers is that? I don't eat or drink anything."

"Most likely because someone gave it away secretly. This is included in the type of poison, although not deadly but if consumed continuously for many years will cause cardiac arrest."

King Wen was so stunned to hear Miss's explanation in front of him. It was not yet time for Ryu to open his disguise because the guards were still loyal outside, until Master Tao managed to cripple the people in front he would just speak truthfully to the Father. After hearing the sound of a collapsing sound from the bodies of the two guards, Ryu immediately walked towards the table on which he had prepared a glass of wine to recover his face.

After downing the wine, Ryu turned his head back towards King Wen Lei who was now rounding his gaze in disbelief. He was so careful, but there was hope in his eyes.

"Dad, I am Wen Yijin!" Ryu approaches and hands the hairpin with a ruby jewel on it.

"I rediscovered the Taoist Tribe that had long been considered lost. I promised them I'd bring them back and stay without hiding."

King Wen Lei threw away his face. Ryu furrowed his brows in disbelief of what he saw. King Wen seems to know that he is Wen Yijin. "Daughter, why do you have to do this? For years father tried to cover up the existence of the Taoist Tribe that threatened my position then you want to bring them back?"

"Dad? Do you realize what you're talking about?

All this time, did you know that I was Wen Yijin?"

Emperor nodded. "Of course, the inner bond between a father and his daughter will be so strong. Even seeing you care about me, I'm sure you're my daughter."

Ryu took a few steps back, he could not believe what he had just heard. His eyes were round and sad. How could his father have done evil to the Native Tribe of his late mother? Ryu tightened his sword, I don't know what he was going to do with it.

"Yijin, I'm trying to stay alive even though I know your stepmother is poisoning me every day. Even last night, the iris flower I know all about.

I was silent because only your stepmother and her sect had the power to make the Tao Tribe hide, all this time they were a threat to our Kingdom."

"Dad! They are not a threat, by allying with them and welcoming them back our Government will be even more successful!" Ryu did not understand, what made his father turn into the Tyrant King whereas in his previous life this did not happen.

The emergence of the Tao Tribe in his life this time made a problem that he thought was simple turned out to keep the ugliness inside. I don't know who he'll choose, his father or the Taoist tribe. Ryu was worried about it, so he chose to step back and move away from the Father. "Have my efforts been in vain? I tried to stop my stepmother's rebellion, but did you already know that?"

"Yijin, I'm sorry. As long as I don't make her Empress and also don't raise another Crown Princess besides you she won't dare to rebel."

"Enough Emperor! Servant is very disappointed in you, with this I decided to choose to live outside the palace and live this life myself." Ryu sauntered away leaving King Wen Lei with deep sadness. The man sat on his bed then let out a long breath.

Teacher Tao nodded. "It's not really that simple. You see for yourself, what kept us hiding all this time. Your father considered our great power to suppress him, make him lose the throne and make the Taoist Tribe reign."

"I'm sure you're not like that."

"Right, we're just tasked with balancing the forces of good and bad in this world. Although our tribe is so strong, we never want any office or power anywhere."

"Teacher, what should I do to my father? Moreover Hu Yazhu right now he might be in danger."

Teacher Tao shook his head. "Hu Yazhu has returned, he was ordered by the Emperor directly. His name will be cleared of charges of rebellion as well as your servants and family.

After this most likely, the King will no longer be weak before everyone including your stepmother and sister. It will soon make everyone look for your existence, at such a time what would you choose?"

"This search, will it have anything to do with you?"

Teacher Tao nodded. "If his goal was to exterminate the Tao Tribe, he would definitely do it."

"Teacher, I'll protect you. Please teach me some knowledge that I can use against them."

Teacher Tao smiled. "You proposed to me to be your teacher?"

Ryu nodded.

"I will grant it, let's prepare yourself to fight against your own kingdom!" continued Teacher Tao.

"Good Teacher." Ryu saluted then Master Tao carried Ryu without burden using his body lightening technique. He jumps from one tree to another while holding Ryu tightly.

Above the treetops, the two saw the forbidden forest begin to move forming a maze that looked even more difficult than before. He also saw the protection that began to form little by little outside the labyrinth to protect the Native Tao Tribe. Teacher Tao and Ryu landed safely, his aunt approached Ryu anxiously and hugged the girl tightly. "Thank you for coming back safely."

"Are you ready to do your meditation? Deepen your spiritual knowledge and refine the great Qi energy you possess?"

"I'm ready!"

"Sooner or later, your father will definitely attack this place with the strength of his troops. It is possible that he will also ask for the help of your stepmother's heretical sect."

"I really can't believe my dad did it."

The old woman took a long breath. "The throne made your father the merciless King of Tyrants, much less the incitement of your stepmother who promised to bring your father to eternal power.

All this they had planned, to know the whereabouts of the Demon King we hid here he should use you as their bait. If your father really woke up the Demon King, there would be nothing to prevent them from doing harm on this earth."
