The Death of the Evil Empress

38. Empress

"Goodbye my dear Audrey" he said cynically.

"Mother, remember that every evil deed will be recompensed!" said Audrey with a limp body.

House.hos.hos.

Sweat splattered his hands this was the first time he dreamed of the incident he experienced decades ago. Audrey sat down and picked up a small, white blanket. He hugged and kissed her with tears. 'He Hua my son, I miss you so much, a dozen years I left you. Even if we're far away I'll protect you with all my might Audrey's inner self.

Two women were sitting in a large and beautiful garden. The breeze brings the aroma of roses that are as fragrant as it is indeed a lot of flowers of that type planted in the garden. A servant came forward carrying a teapot of salute with a slight bow and added back to the empty second cup of the woman.

"What about my request at that time, Your Majesty?" ask a young woman in front of her.

"You really can't help yourself with that" he said half insinuating. "Please wait another two months automatically the title of Empress you will get even without my support" he said again.

"I just want to help my noble husband. Wouldn't it be a good deed for a wife to help and slightly reduce the burden of her husband's work?" his reply.

Mei Lan's words made the Queen Mother who was originally going to drink her tea immediately stop the movement of her hand put the tea cup back to the table and she looked at the face of her daughter-in-law with a flat expression. Although she was not Taiyang's birth mother but she was the most influential and powerful woman in the entire empire daring - how dare a daughter-in-law who was only a concubine urged her to obey her wishes 'I was mistaken to spoil him'.

Feeling the gaze of the Queen Mother who did not like what she said, she immediately put on her sad face.

"Oh I forgive this innocent Mei lan if you continue to force your will. But I am just a wife who wants to help her husband. Moreover, these few months he often spent the night in his study. I'm so worried about my husband's health" she said, wiping her tears with her handkerchief.

The look on the Queen Mother's face instantly turned into a smile of 'Ingenious, appreciable'. "Mei lan" called out to her in a soft voice. "I understand your concern but have you forgotten in accordance with the imperial regulations so far that a surrogate empress can only be adopted if the old empress has died within one year then automatically the empress next can be lifted" he reminded while gently patting the back of his daughter-in-law's hand was certainly with a deep eye gaze "After all you don't want the people to have a bad view of the royal family." he said while still looking at his daughter-in-law.

'Huh nonsense even though without waiting a year can as long as you get approval and support from him.' inner Mei lan.

As soon as Mei Lan left with her servants, a servant of the Queen Mother's trust approached "Your Majesty are you not pampering her too much?"

Hearing his servant's words he laughed out loud.

Ha.ha.ha...

"If you had a precious pet would you throw it away right away when it scratches you?"

"Of course not madam. But I'll give him a little punishment so he understands his mistake."

"That's what I'm doing, giving him a little punishment by not giving him a chance to occupy that seat for a year. Maybe for others two months was a short time but not with a person who had a big obsession like Mei Lan. Two months is a long and torturous time."

Although initially imposing his will in the end Mei lan quite understand with the 'understanding' given by the Queen Mother. Not Disputing and accepting the Queen Mother's suggestion was an additional point for her to remain her treasured pawn. Although she showed her resistance to her innuendos but it was only because of her inability to face a woman who had wide power like the Queen Mother and only until that was the end of her courage. In addition, the 'waiting' of May and in the next two months will show how the woman's attitude in the future towards the Queen Mother.

Another conversation took place in a room.

"He Hua my son according to Dad before we all move in a new place, it's good that we prepare a new identity for you and Ling Ling for the safety of both of you." healer Ji said at the end of their lunch.

"Yes I agree with my second life I want to be safe of course for the safety of all of us, I do not want to endanger our family. And so my goal is to find my mother without hindrance, but is there any advice on what my new name should be?" said He Hua.

The four people in the room were the same - the same thought what name and identity matched.
