The Death of the Evil Empress

54. Slit ones eyes

A large, tall and worn-out wooden door opened displaying a large room inside that never seemed to touch humans. Here there are many spider webs.

"Mom's been living here all this time?" ask Hana curiously.

"Of course not. I move around a lot isn't this the right place even if it's far from decent."

Hana is so sad about her mother's life when it has been a few years since her mother should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief. Because in the past when she became Empress Hana had agreed to the closure of her black documents, that the Witch case from the West had been closed. Moreover, changing identity in this era is very easy. Of course by getting to know the 'insider' and giving him the rewards he deserves, nothing is difficult. Coupled with his mother's famous medical ability, his mother's face can now be back in a matter of weeks to make her start a new life. But why does it seem to complicate his own life, moving from one place to another. Didn't you want her husband and her or did something force her to avoid her family? What did his mother really think and deal with?

Hana could only cultivate all those questions in her mind it didn't seem like the right time to ask them all for now.

Then Audrey invites Hana to enter the door with a carving of a sun symbol. Yes this place as far as Hana knows is the office of a royal investigator. A place where people can complain about the crimes that have befallen them. But because this place has been a long time and it is impossible to renovate finally this place is like being abandoned. Huh really clever way of corruption, right? Though buildings like this should be able to be utilized but because of the mischievous elements so they enlarge it even gives a thousand reasons to make a new building on the emperor for the work place of the investigator for this for it. Yes automatically with the construction of a new building, all costs will be borne by royal cash to make silver coffers and even gold fill the pocket of such an individual to enrich himself and his cronies. This is what Hana once argued and opposed to her husband because it fully gives confidence to the officials. If left to drag on then one day it will destroy the empire later.

But, as usual, her husband did not listen to her. 'Excessive' he said even though all the imperial wealth came from people's taxes and tax deposits from other kingdoms. Moreover, they are naughty individuals that cleverly close it all with the image of 'glory' that is when there is development they will share with the less able people by distributing money and other needs such as food and clothing. Make them loved by small people and make them appear like heroes.

The funny thing is that what they give to the people is not from their own pockets but comes from the inflated cost of development. They, the person even took advantage of the Empress's disapproval. They conspired to make the Empress's image bad. This is the mental deterioration of corrupt officials, they will get rid of the barrier stone that will prevent them from collecting wealth coffers.

"You daydreamed Hana?"

"Yes.a little thought of the past. This place also has a part of mom's past."

Hmm

Audrey pats Hana on the shoulder.

"Ying.come take Chen upstairs to rest for a while anyway it's still midnight."

"Chen"

"Yes Madam"

"Next call me Mother."

Hana's brows cluttered at her mother showing an unacceptable face and asked.Why should she call her mother Mother Mother?

"Why? What harm?" audrey answered Hana's gaze

Ahem

With a bright look on his face, Chen immediately said, "Well Mom, ananda will rest for a while as Mother ordered." Chen long looked at Hana then rolled one eye, then he turned around.

"Please sir" said Ying

Hana grunts 'Huh...The man intentionally irritated her.'

Audrey smilingly glanced at Hana's vexed face.
