Poor Girl Becomes Empress

Chapter 19: Can Martial Arts

"You who?" said Wei while continuing to rewind his steps.

The man held Wei's hand and directly brought the knife closer to Wei's neck. "If you yell, I'll slit your neck straight away!" her threat made Wei gulp her saliva.

Wei never expected the man would come to the empress' residence and threatened to kill her. For some reason the man wanted to kill him so badly, could it be true that he was the emperor's enemy?

"What do you want?" Wei ventured to look into the eyes of the man before her.

"I will take you as a guarantee to get the emperor to step down from his position!"

Hearing that made Wei understand the intention of the man giving a threatening letter through the arrow earlier. Fengying's enemies desperately wanted him down.

Wei clutched the man's hand which pointed the knife at his neck. With all his might he pulled the man's hand closer to his neck. The man was of course surprised and tried to pull his hand back.

As the knife was about to hit Wei's neck, the girl stopped. He smiled as he found the man's face panicked despite being covered in half. "My death is even better than having to let the emperor step down from his position" Wei sharply said with a very calm look.

"But I won't just die. People like you have corrupted this country and I will not remain silent. You only know I come from a lowly family, right?" said Wei who quickly held the man's left hand and the man's right hand which was holding the knife he turned towards the man's neck.

As powerful as the man tried to escape but Wei's power was greater. There were flashes of anger in both of his eyeballs staring deeply into both of the man's eyes.

"Do you think the enemy of the emperor is just me? We're even more than you think!" the man tried his hardest to escape, but Wei held him back even more.

There was panic mixed with embarrassment that the man felt. He was too sure that Wei was a weak girl like the others, but he did not expect the girl he thought was weak to be able to martial arts.

"At least I can finish you off one by one."

"Honey! Fuckingzuran!" wei suddenly shouted which made the man surprised instead of playing.

His right leg kicked Wei's left leg with all his might. The unprepared Wei instantly fell down making his hand slip away from the man. Hearing that the door was about to open, the man ran towards the window of the room and broke into it.

"Who allowed you to escape!" wei shouted as the man managed to open the window.

The man jumped down and immediately ran through the back door that was connected to the path leading to the mountain. Wei only looked at the man without trying to chase after him. Just now that he was too brave to fight against the emperor's enemy, he even put his own life at risk.

Ruyin, Tzuran, Jiang, and Yihan ran over to Wei who was standing facing the window.

"The queen's arm is hurt!" tzuran screeched as she found Wei's dress sleeves slashed with blood flowing down.

Wei looked at his right arm with an incision wound. The man really did not want to leave empty-handed. In a short time he even took the time to drink his knife.

"Tell the emperor if the man runs towards the mountain" Wei said, pointing to the mountain above.

Tzuran nodded her head, after which she immediately ran out of the room.

"You should have shouted, empress. Why are you so quiet that you get hurt like this?" yihan said as he sat Wei to the side of the bed.

Wei clasped Yihan's right hand while smiling warmly. "Mom, I can handle it myself. If I scream, that person will kill me. Ah, what a pity the queen's gown became like this." Wei then raised a little of her slashed dress sleeves.

"Is that more important than your safety?" yihan asked who was only responded with a smile by Wei.

"Honey, please bring medicine and bandages. My mother would not be at ease if my wound had not been treated." Wei ordered as she looked at Ruyin who was standing not far from her.

Ruyin lowered her head for a moment. "Okay, queen."

****

After getting word from Tzuran earlier, Fengying and his soldiers immediately headed towards Mount Jiri which was behind the empress' residence and the emperor's residence.

About half an hour into the journey they finally found the man who shot the arrow in the palace. The man was lying on the ground with an arrow nearby and a small knife he was still holding. His face was full of incision wounds so it was not tangible anymore.

Fengying understood that someone else had killed the man. His face was filled with incisions so that he was not recognized by others. If the man was caught, his other enemies were afraid that the man would divulge their secrets so they chose to kill him.

"He's dead, emperor." explained a soldier who had checked the man's pulse.

Both Fengying's hands were clenched. He was really very angry because he always failed to catch his enemy. "It's not very useful! Why do you always fail to catch my enemy!" it was the impact that made the soldiers bow their heads.

"Every time they come threatening to kill people who are near me. Who is so anxious to see me step down from the position of emperor?!"

"They're not even better than me!"

Xian who was behind Fengying started to speak which made Fengying speechless. "Emperor, this man has wounded the empress' arm in her residence earlier."

"Me and Xian are going back to the palace! You keep looking for my enemies on this mountain, don't go back to the palace empty-handed or I'll chop off your heads!" yelled Fengying like lightning during the day.

"Okay, emperor!"

Fengying and Xian walked down the mountain through the path they had passed. The length of their journey was simply silence with Fengying trying to assuage his anger. Soaking in the bathtub pool with cold water at this time might be able to relieve the heat in his heart, but he paused because he had to see Wei's condition first.

"Why didn't the man directly kill the empress?" said Fengying suddenly as if expecting Wei to be killed.

Xian cleared his throat feeling uncomfortable with the question Fengying asked him. "Hamba heard from the empress' personal servant if the empress might fight the man so that the man could not kill the empress. I believe the Queen can learn martial arts."

"Self?" fengying muttered while stopping his steps. Soon she would arrive at the empress' residence, but Xian's remarks attracted her attention.

It was difficult for him to accept Xian's remark but it was extremely attention-grabbing. If the poor girl he once praised like a diamond could be martial arts, surely at any time she could use it to expand her power.
