The Emperor's Prisoner

18

This morning I don't know why the queen brought me breakfast together. Cilla said it a few days ago. The training session this time will be delayed. In my heart I have concerns, considering our relationship cannot be said to be close.

 

From a distance the empress' palace looks magnificent and charming. Symbol of the royal harem ruler. At first I was so amazed by the figure of the empress, she is a tough woman and certainly beautiful charming. The alluring aura as well as the wibawawa is so thick.

 

Not many people interact with him. According to reports, the empress included people who were closed but full of compassion. Even the Emperor never ignored him. All requests are always followed. This made the concubines even more jealous.

 

Even so, there was not a single concubine who dared to disturb or complicate it. As everyone was just surrounding him, the world just revolved around him.

 

But after hearing the talk of Mr. En and Brother Lu back then, all the thoughts were gone. Replaced with a figure of the empress who is full of tactics and dangerous. This is still my guess, it might be wrong. Who knows the heart of a person.

 

Not to mention after finding out that the empress was not the mother of the crown prince, it made me even more suspicious. Big things like this no one dared to reveal them in the kingdom. Can be interpreted if the power of the empress can not be doubted.

 

“Zen, have you come?”

“ greetings empress, I'm afraid to make your majesty wait so come early”

“ ah, you're so good. Login “

“ yes empress”

 

Cila helped me lift the oversized dress as I climbed the steps of the palace. After entering this building is getting more magnificent and beautiful. Not only elegant even pearl ornaments and other valuable items are displayed as displays here. Ironies.

 

“ after our conversation at that time, I was more interested and missed meeting you Zen.”

“ forgive me for never coming to visit your excellency.”

“ I understand him, listen to the last few months you are busy practicing, is that true?” why does this direction of speech sound bothering me. As if looking for my weakness as a concubine.

“ mister En wants me to maintain a little fitness so some field skills become my routine” I do not want to be provoked lest my initial intention to practice can be known by the empress.

“ the boy did, always behaving as he pleased. “

“ his highness the crown prince is so attentive to me, so there is nothing wrong with the practice it”

“ however you are a concubine, do not forget the duty of a concubine”

“ good noble, I will remember it”

“ as a fellow harem dweller, I will remind you. The position of many royal members who want it. Various kinds of intentions they must have, if not well guarded fear you will lose it”

“ I will do my best as a concubine, please noble remind me if I make a mistake”

 

A little while later the food began to arrive, the empress arranged for the dining place to be beside the garden. Besides being cool, the view of the flowers there is amazing. Beautiful and colorful.

 

Observing one by one the food menu that came was enough to raise my appetite at the highest level. Everything looks expensive and tempting. Status is everything. All the luxuries that I had so far seemed ordinary after witnessing other luxuries.

 

“ do not hesitate, eat. All this I prepared especially for you, Zen”

“ the noble is so good to me, I so not good to receive it”

“ why do you say that, as in-laws and daughters-in-law should have noticed each other”

 

We eat quietly. The delicate carrying of the empress was evident by her neat and elegant way of eating. A little different from me whose eating style is like a teenager who does not know the rules. Eat anything that interests him.

 

I can't change this habit, I don't think it's too embarrassing either. There are only two of us here anyway. I don't need to pretend, the most important way I eat is not fairly slovenly or reckless.

 

After breakfast, the queen took me for a walk around the park. Quite spacious and neatly arranged.  On the way we talked lightly. I often ask the type of flowers and their benefits to the empress. I don't think he knows the details. Even the treatment techniques and taking the efficacy of the flower part he described it very much. Darisana clearly saw how educated the empress. It is fitting that his position is not easily swayed and nullified by others.

 

Seeing it like this, I suddenly became lightest with the late mother of Mr. En. About how he looks. Is not much different from the empress or even better. No one even acknowledged her own husband, but the emperor rejected the truth.

 

 

There must have been something big going on, so all the royal members covered up this truth. I have to find out, maybe this has something to do with the rebellion and the massacre some time ago.

 

“ looks like we can sit for a while on that bench, waiter prepare snack”

“ good empress” sautan waiter.

“ let the empress, I help” I tidy up the dress so that the empress can comfortably sit on the park bench.

“ you're so sweet Zen, it's worth it that the crown prince chose you.”

“ noble too praise”

“ is there no good news fromana” his eyes are pointing to my stomach. For a moment I knew what he meant.

“ uh, I think it's too early to want it” I can't say if we haven't done at that stage either. All my positions can be at stake.

“ Zen, I suggest you should speed up, who knows with that you can become crown princess” whispered. His words just now were quite bold, no palace occupants could talk about the government department. Especially in the harem palace.

“ I will consider it, noble”

“ yes you must, oia since being taken in the palace I have never heard from your family. Do they live in the village?”

“i already have no family, both my parents have died noble” the empress looks shocked, even stopped her activities.

“ oh forgive me. “

“ no-no. Your Majesty, don't feel guilty. I'm used to it.”

“ you're a good boy Zen, your parents must be proud of you. Especially with your position as a royal concubine they would be happy if they knew it”

“ yes noble, they are good parents”

 

As the day wore on, I decided to resign. The queen also has another schedule. On the way I felt there was something strange about me. I don't know why my hands sweat so much. Even my chest is tight.

 

Is there something wrong. I accelerated my pace, immediately lying down and resting in the room. That's all that came to my mind. More sweat came out. Even my body started to feel cold.

 

The weather today was quite blistering, why did this cold bother me. Cilla even said that my way of walking was getting slower and weaker. I can feel it. My body feels lighter. What actually happened to me.

 

“ go, call me the palace healer,” I whispered as Cilla tried to get me to walk. Just talking makes me tired. I may be nearing death. My gaze began to darken upon entering the courtyard of my palace.
