Poor Girl Becomes Empress

Chapter 12: Understanding you

"I'm sorry in advance because I'll sound so presumptuous, mother-of-law. As the queen mother said if the servant is destined to be the queen of this land, then the servant will not change his mind. What happened in the past was not the emperor's fault. The emperor would not be able to kill the servant seeing the great effort of the emperor in bringing the servant to the palace. I'm sorry, stepmother, servant is too presumptuous." Wei lowered his head again. After saying that all he became afraid of getting into big trouble.

Nui turned her gaze towards the open window of the room, displaying a mountain view not too far from the palace. "I know it wasn't the emperor's fault, but it all started with his birth in this palace!"

Fengying could no longer hold everything back. He looked at Nui intently with a heart that was already burned by the flames of anger.

"I beg the Queen Mother, stop everything! My mother has been punished in hell, the emperor, the empress, and her son have also lived happily in heaven. Here I am only a victim of my mother's greed, nor did I choose to be born from the womb of a murderous concubine!" fengying sternly with a hunting breath so that Wei who was beside him was now staring with concern.

Wei who was in the middle of it started to understand a little. Yes, from the very beginning he knew that Fengying did not want to go through everything. That man must have had a hard time accepting a karmic fate in his life. She lost the empress, did not get any children, as well as the important people in the palace wanted to take her down because she was the son of a murderous concubine.

"When you feel it for yourself, you'll understand that giving up something you can't protect will hurt your heart deeply. Our relationship has never been good because you haven't felt in my position of losing my first child, daughter-in-law, and grandchild." Nui's eyes this time aren't as sharp as before. In both of his eyes emanated a deep sadness that made the heat in Fengying's heart slightly cool down.

"If only then had I not chosen Guinying as the chief concubine, maybe now I could have witnessed my first grandson become emperor and you as first-rate commander." Nui continued as he stared at Fengying.

For Fengying, the commander-in-chief was a powerless position that was every second life threatening. "Ah, it turns out that the Queen mother's plan did want to see me killed? How'this? It's a pity that I'm not a warlord so the Queen mother's wishes won't be fulfilled." Fengying said in her cynical tone. His heart that had begun to cool now warmed up again.

"You shouldn't have been emperor from the beginning. I should have sped up the pace to thwart your mother's heinous deeds!" Fengying could now only fall silent.

Wei's eyesight began to twitch. His body felt very tired and wanted to go to sleep immediately. Head Wei was currently very dizzy thinking about the debate between Fengying and Nui. It was difficult for him to digest the dark history of the past that was not even unheard of in the lives of the people.

Wei almost fell if Fengying did not catch her body. The panic grew on Fengying's face, fearing that the girl was sicker.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. It seemed like he currently needed a lot of rest," Fengying's remark made Nui sigh then he immediately walked towards the door.

"I will change the ladies and all the servants in the empress's residence. Remember what I said, Emperor. If you lose your empress again this time, I'll take you down!" firmly Nui before exiting the room.

After Nui's death, Fengying immediately laid Wei on her bed. What happened just now probably made Wei very surprised, what was his position when he just regained consciousness from fainting.

Fengying laid Wei down on her bed while raising the blanket on Wei's body to the limit of her chest. He sat on the edge of the bed then rubbed Wei's slightly pale right cheek.

"I'm sorry for not taking good care of you," said Fengying, who made Wei shake her head many times.

Nui and Fengying's relationship was not good therefore they blamed each other. There was actually nothing wrong between them, Nui and Fengying were both victims of the events in the past. He was determined to make the relationship of grandmother and grandchild improve.

"Are you not afraid of me?" fengying asked as he recalled Nui's words earlier saying that he could have killed his wife just like Guinying did.

Wei shook his head again. "I'm not afraid of the emperor."

"Have you forgotten what the Queen mother said? I'm the son of a murderous concubine, someday I could kill you."

It was likely that it could have happened but Wei fiercely thought that Fengying would not be able to kill him. The man went a long way to look for her and brought her to the palace safely, it was impossible if she was taken to the palace only to be killed.

"The emperor will never be able to kill me because I see sadness in the emperor's eyes. I can understand if the emperor actually hates a cruel destiny. I can also understand if one day the emperor will hate me. But the emperor must remember this one thing, that I will always be beside the emperor no matter what. Like the curse I said last night."

"I'm sorry if I was too presumptuous, emperor." said Wei as he caught the shock of Fengying's countenance. After hearing Wei's words, Fengying removed her hand from Wei's cheek.

"You..." Fengying hanging her words made Wei involuntarily frown her forehead.

Currently Fengying was worried between saying thank you or scolding Wei. He hates when others understand him when he doesn't. Only this first time there is also a girl who will understand if someday she hates him. 'What is Wei's intention and purpose in saying that?' inner Fengying.

"Let's say, I'll go to the training area." Fengying standing up from her seat made Wei sit up.

"Training area?" his tananya was directly nodding her head by Fengying.

"I want to play sword or archery there. I haven't honed my sword and archery skills in a long time. Why, you want to come with me?" said Fengying while staring at Wei. He could see the attraction on Wei's face.

A few seconds later, he shook his head and lowered his head. "I'm sorry emperor, I just asked because I don't know about the training area."

The man no longer replied anymore, only smiling faintly. "I will not be able to visit your residence because from tomorrow it is busy taking care of our wedding. During this week make good use of your time to learn," Fengying ordered.

Wei's shoulders slumped slightly, he felt a little disappointed after hearing Fengying's remark. "Okay, emperor."
