Replacement Month

CHAPTER 32

Inside his room, Yuan Cheng seemed happy given the quarrel between Xuan Ye and Shen Ling. Suddenly an arrow shot towards him, Yuan Cheng dodged and the arrow stuck on the pillar of his room.

Yuan Cheng took the letter tied to the arrow, and read it.

Your Majesty

Please help us to restore the glory of our Tang dynasty.

We, with the help of Princess Huang Ro, who is none other than our Princess Tian Yu, have succeeded in killing the previous Emperor Ming.

Now is the time for us to act against the current government.

Please remember your relationship with Princess Tian Yu who is engaged.

Ben Hok

'Chew, Hok Ben dares him he rules me. She was so foolish as to not know that the Princess Tian Yu she was referring to was a fake Princess.'

One of Yuan Cheng's trusted bodyguards was curious as to why his master had never met Hok Ben, even though the Emperor had ordered to find Tian Yu's daughter.

"Your highness, aren't you curious about this Princess Tian Yu? Why didn't the noble meet or reply to Hok Ben's message?"

Yuan Cheng smiled, "Because I've never been attracted to fools."

Yuan Cheng also burned the message from Hok Ben, then blew the paper that had become ashes.

A woman was awake in her room, she was holding a precious jade belonging to the previous Dynasty, none other than that lady was Mistress Rong who looked uneasy in her room.

Lady Rong recalled the time when the previous Dynasty empress left the jade and her baby.

Lady Rong always remembered the empress' message for her to take care of her Princess and keep her away from all royal affairs. But now Princess Tian Yu's relationship with Xuan Ye was getting worse.

If he were to reveal the secret of Princess Tian Yu's identity to Shen Ling, surely the news would spread to Hok Ben's ears. Madam Rong already distrusted the greedy man, yesterday she and A Du saw for themselves Hok Ben had slept together with Huang Ro in the stables. He could not imagine what would happen to his Princess if it fell into the hands of Hok Ben.

On the other hand crown prince Yuan Cheng was like he put his heart on Princess Tian Yu who was none other than Shen Ling.

'Yes Goddess, what should I do, beg the goddess to protect Princess Tian Yu and spread all her affairs.'

The current Madam Rong could only pray, she would follow the flow of development.

A few days later, Hok Ben told Huang Ro to try to return to the palace.

A member of Hok Ben has received news that the health of Suri's mother, who is now Suri's grandmother, has improved and that afternoon she will pray at the temple. Hok Ben took the opportunity to meet Huang Ro with Suri's mother.

Hok Ben had Huang Ro wear shabby clothes and put some chicken blood stains on his clothes, then the drama began between Huang Ro and Hok Ben's men.

Huang Ro's shout reached the ears of Grandma Suri who missed Huang Ro's voice so much.

"Dayang Rong's.. That was Huang Ro's voice! The bodyguard!! The bodyguard!! Look what happened!!"

"Ready Grandma Suri"

some of the bodyguards saw Huang Ro who was chased by some bandits. A bodyguard rushed to report to his master.

"Report grandma Suri, it's indeed Miss Huang Ro, it looks like she's being chased by criminals."

Grandma Suri became panicked, "What are you waiting for!! Hurry up and save him!! Save her!!"

The bodyguards immediately fought to save Huang Ro, Hok Ben's men felt the fish had eaten the bait that was stocked, eventually going on the run.

Guards also hired Huang Ro to meet Suri's grandmother.

Huang Ro just cried and continued to rest in front of Grandma Suri.

"Lift your head." Suri's grandmother tried to look resolute, she still remembered how cruel Huang Ro was when stabbing her child to death.

"Ha-servant to Suri's mother, may Suri's mother live long." Huang Ro faced with a messy appearance, making Granny Suri pity.

"I'm no longer Suri's mother. Now that Xuan Ye has ascended the throne, my standing is no more than a grandmother. Thank you for making this grandmother lose her beloved son!" Suri's grandmother's cries broke, remembering the murder.

Huang Ro wept as well, trying to hold Grandma Suri's feet, but was confronted by Rong's lady-in-waiting, "Ampuni servant! Forgive servant! Servant had to do it. If the servant does not do it, then the servant will be killed and the corpse of the servant will be the wolf food in the forest. Forgive this cowardly servant Suri's mother! Forgive me!!"

"Whatchu mean? Is this blood that sticks to your body because they torture you cruelly?" granny Suri began to believe in Huang Ro's words.

Huang Ro cried even louder, "Mother of Suri's Mother. Every day I was tortured, sometimes I was not fed or drank. Servant days are like living in hell, thank you Suri's mother for helping me."

The Queen Mother became pity, "Wake up my son! Get up, sit next to me, and tell this grandma everything."

Huang Ro wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and walked over to Suri's mother, "When I was kidnapped, it turned out that they were rebels, servants were tortured into cooperating with them. They need someone close to the royal family to be free to enter the palace."

The Queen Mother wiped away the tears that had returned to Huang Ro's cheeks, "Therefore have they sealed you and forced you to kill the emperor back then?"

Huang Ro nodded and hugged Grandma Suri, "Hamba is so scared! They even intend to cut off the fingers, hands and feet of the servant."

The Queen Mother just hugged her, and they cried together,

"My dear Huang Ro, stop crying, you're safe, son. You're safe with me. Come back to the palace with me. Our meeting is fate, son."

Huang Ro simply shook his head, "Hamba has no face to meet the royal members. They must not have forgiven me."

The emperor's grandmother became annoyed, "Pehh!! Don't suppose because I'm disabled can't walk, then the brand can step on me and my people. You take it easy Huang Ro, I will protect you! you just need to confess and apologize to the royal, leave the rest to me."

Huang Ro looked at Grandma Suri's feet, "Has the Queen Mother's leg hurt? Why do you say you can't walk?"

suri's mother clasped Huang Ro's hand, "Since my son's death, I've become very stressed, a lot of pressure tiled - tubi makes my body not strong, so the palace healer stated if I can not walk anymore."

Huang Ro hugged Grandma Suri tightly, the two of them finally made their way towards the palace.
