Second Meeting
Chapter 83 - "Emperor's Choice"
After thinking carefully,
Xia Mei decided with certainty that she would come along with her brother
to meet the Emperor and know everything he wanted to know. “I follow”
his eyes were so sure.
Xia Lan chuckled, she
impressed that his little brother would show such a look in the eyes
ahead of him. Even though he knew what was on his little brother's mind
still so naive. Even if he knew everything, his little brother did not
will directly be able to understand what he is doing and will tend to
defied it. That is, because his little brother did grow up as a girl
good and naive. Despite this, Xia Lan still chose to keep her sister
he became his naive and naive little brother. As his brother, he will
protect him and give him his best without having to dirty him.
“Alright, mari” that Minister too
invite the three invited guests of the Emperor.
Lan Sifan followed Xia Lan,
although later when he reached the Emperor's study he would be outside
chamber.
They are together towards space
the Emperor's work fulfilled the Emperor's call.
After a while finally
they arrived in front of the Emperor's study room with the Emperor looking so solemn
with some royal documents to check. The emperor looked so
tired of his strange royal affairs.
“Emperor, Crown Prince together
with Young Master Wen has arrived” said the Minister from outside the Emperor's den
to tell the Emperor who was inside whether the Emperor would
allow them to enter immediately or have to wait a while
the Emperor was free from his work.
The emperor stopped reading the documents
when he heard the sound of his Minister, he put the document on his desk
“Masukklah” said the Emperor as he spread his back to his comfortable seat.
“Good,” sahut the Minister
then switch to Xia Land and others “Emperor please. Please”
while extending his hand as manners please.
Xia Lan entered first
when the servants guarding in front of the Emperor's study opened the door
the room was then followed by Wen Yihuai only then Xia Mei and the Minister
in the last order.
After the four of them went in
inside the room, the servants closed the door again.
The emperor was surprised when
he saw one guest he had not invited, his beloved little princess.
“Why are you here?” the Emperor asked Xia Mei.
“Ayahanda, I also want to
knowing something you want to know” Xia Mei explained directly on
bottom line. He did not dare to convolve in front of his father let alone with the case
and this situation.
“It's not better if you
being in Qingshan?” the Emperor asked with the intention of sending him out of the
that spot.
“I'll be back to Qingshan
after everything is clear” Xia Mei said with her eyes glaring full
convictions. The emperor was astonished by the bravery the princess had
small at that time. At that time her little princess did not look like a princess
small again. The emperor smiled and remembered his little daughter
she is no longer her little daughter. His little daughter had become the Princess
is adult.
“Alright, as you want”
The Emperor approved Xia Mei's whereabouts in the room along with the
othersmore.
“Thank you, Your Majesty” said
Xia Mei as her honor.
Ignoring Xia Mei, now the Emperor
turn to Xia Lan and Wen Yihuai. His eyes turned serious
ordinary initially. “Regarding the rumors about Miss Gu Xie from Xihua, I need a
“As the Emperor has already
find out that Miss Gu Xie was exposed to poison from the west and more precisely from the
Donghua” Wen Yihuai said with certainty without hesitation in his tone
his expression. Emperor pays close attention to “Lantas?”
“I did not dodge it” sahut
Wen Yihuai with certainty.
Hearing the confession from Wen
Yihuai, everyone who was in the room was dumbfounded except for Xia Lan who was just
shut up and watch until the end.
Xia Mei wanted to open up immediately
his mouth, but he held himself back hard. He should be able to think
calmly and read the situation instead of being impulsive.
“So you mean you admit
if you hurt Miss Gu?” the Emperor tried to confirm
the recognition of Wen Yihuai.
“True” replied Wen Yihuai without
hesitate.
“Then why did you do it?”
The emperor tried to ask deeply and understand the circumstances.if most
the judge shall give the sentence to the accused when the crime has been committed
it was confirmed, but this time Emperor Xia behaved more sluggishly.
“Because the Emperor has announced
his engagement to the Prince of Xia Yue” Wen Yihua said. This time he stared
directly the Emperor's eyes though were not a look of hostility.
The emperor was again surprised
the Wen Yihuai Confession.
“You mean?” ask the Emperor
not sure of his interpretation of Wen Yihuai's confession.
“That night I came to him
to refuse the engagement. But he could not refuse because of the Emperor
announced it. So I hurt him with that poison so that no one
have it unless I have the antidote and only if he
be mine or I'll die with him for murder
Princess Xihua inside Istan”
The emperor tried to digest
explanation of Wen Yihuai. The Emperor realized one thing in his story
menaces. The Emperor realized that Wen Yihuai was threatening him with Gu Xie's life.
If he let Gu Xie get killed just like that after Wen Yihuai's confession,
then Xihua and Donghua would blame him
Regardless of whether they
having a special relationship or not, if Wen Yihuai's current confession
sounding out, then the public judgment was that Wen Yihuai killed the girl who
she loved him for not letting him marry another man
wen Yihuai did not mention that they were each other
loves.
“Ayahanda, why Ayahanda
separating them to encourage Young Master Wen to commit criminal acts?
Wouldn't it be like this, your father was the one who was guilty of both?” Xia Lan's
speak up to corner the Emperor.
Now whatever becomes
the Emperor's decision would make him look like the Emperor was guilty in
this case.
The Minister was silent a thousand
the language. He realized the situation this time was very difficult. Their plan is to attack
from various points. The Minister also took a long breath. She can't
do whatever it takes to help the Emperor out of this situation.
Decisions considered the best
it might just be the worst.
Xia Mei thought otherwise. Him
now I feel sorry for thinking badly of my brother.
This time it was just a misunderstanding. “Ayahanda, why
Father did not marry Young Master Wen to Miss Gu Xie if they were to marry each other
loving? Isn't it impossible to let Miss Gu and Young Master Wen be killed
in vain or to allow Young Master Wen to be blamed for Miss Gu's death by
Xihua?”
