The Flower Of War
Chapter 14: The Reverse
All pairs of eyes stared in disbelief at Mu Tong who served as Royal Finance Minister Zhang Wu who spoke out loudly while pointing firmly at Prince Wu Xiao.
Prince Wu Xiao looked calmly at Minister Mu Tong as if he was not surprised by the minister's unprovoked accusations.
The soldier who was on the side of the minister also approached Prince Wu Xiao and was about to catch him, Wu Xiao still remained in his leisurely sitting position staring intently at Minister Mu Tong.
"Why are you so sure that I am the mastermind of all this Minister Mu Tong? Wouldn't a real man take responsibility for his mistakes and not blame someone for the mistakes he didn't make? Or can you say this is an event to trap myself so that someone can ascend the throne of this kingdom?" Wu Xiao spoke up to make some people speechless including Minister Mu Tong.
"Isn't it clear that the royal family who didn't poison here is just you prince, is not it, surely you have a plan to get rid of the Emperor and the Crown Prince so that you can immediately ascend the throne because you are the future heir to the second throne after Crown Prince Wu Tian, therefore you must be mixing poisonous sugar in their drinks" said Minister Tong bluffing Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao chuckled softly but the longer Wu Xiao's laughter grew louder making the people around him shudder in horror.
"How do you know if I poisoned them with poisonous sugar, you can't accuse me of poisoning their water or their tea, which might make more sense, or it could be the poison that's been superimposed on the spoon to stir the tea but without being told by anyone you confidently said I poisoned my family with poisonous sugar, isn't it clear who did it here" Wu Xiao took out his smirk making the Minister die of lice.
Suddenly all the fainted members of the kingdom woke up and stood up as if nothing had happened to them, including the Emperor who was now standing firmly staring angrily at Minister Mu Tong.
The entire pair of shocked eyes stared at the ongoing drama in the palace.
Minister Mu Tong's countenance grew pale, he had not expected that Prince Wu Xiao and the entire Royal family would already know of his rotten plan to take control of the palace, now they managed to play a play that made himself caught red-handed into the brains behind this all.
"I don't think you're a shrimp behind a rock, Finance Minister Mu Tong! For the actions you have taken to try and kill all the members of the Zhang Kingdom I hereby sentence you to hang and also to all the people involved in your rotten plans, it's not enough that you will be executed in the square and your corpses will be paraded around the city!" The Emperor looked at Minister Mu Tong's nyalang.
"Pardon Your Majesty's servant, but not the mastermind servant behind all this servant was not even involved at all with this event, I just panicked Your Majesty" Minister Mu Tong kowtowed for the Emperor's forgiveness who only smiled wryly.
"He lied Your Majesty" the loud voice coming from the entrance of the palace garden made the entire pair of eyes stare towards the source of the voice.
Yiu stood firmly in front of the entrance of the palace garden, his right hand clutching tightly the hand of a servant who was bowed down.
"He lied Your Majesty, I bring witnesses here. Let's quickly tell everyone the truth" Yiu snapped, shaking the already terrified servant's body.
"... Or your whole family will die if you don't tell the truth" whispered Yiu beside the servant's ear.
The waiter's bead widened to hear Yiu's words, his head shook weakly and his eyes began to tear.
The servant fell to his own feet in tears and began to prostrate himself before the Emperor.
"Im sorry Your Majesty's servant was forced to obey an order from Minister Mu Tong because the servant needs money to finance the treatment of the servant's mother who is now in a very sick state, Your Majesty please forgive the hyx servant."
Yiu who was beside him felt pity because this young servant did not lie and Yiu knew it from the look of her eyes that emitted an aura of sadness.
The emperor who was still angry did not care about the servant's reason, he was already blinded by his explosive rage.
"Reason! the guards quickly imprisoned both of them and everyone involved in the case and the day after tomorrow there would be a hanging sentence for them in the royal square. Quickly take them away!"
Minister Mu Tong and the waitress grew hysterical, including several soldiers and supervisors and food suppliers who took part in the case being forcibly dragged from the Palace Park to the dungeon.
After that, things became silent for a moment. The emperor who was pensive by the events that befell his kingdom this time and the invited guests who were still very shocked by the great events that had just been experienced and would definitely be recorded in the history of this kingdom forever.
"Sorry for the unpleasant incident earlier that has surprised you but if there were no Prince Wu Xiao and Prince Zhou Li who acted quickly then maybe the incident would have happened for real therefore I will award Prince Wu Xiao the rank of Great General of the Kingdom as well as the power area on the coast of the northern pier of the Kingdom and Prince Zhou Li the jade guest of honor who can go in and out Zhang Wu Kingdom at will and I will reward any item he wants while in this Kingdom until the end of his life"
"Thank you Your Majesty" Wu Xiao and Yiu said in unison as they bowed in homage to the Emperor.
The Emperor smiled faintly but very clearly in his eyes he was very proud of the services of his second Prince and Prince Zhou Li.
All the guests applauded Wu Xiao and Zhou Li, including Yiu's two older brothers who else if not Prince Xiao Ce and Prince Huang who were also surprised to see Yiu's involvement in this event.
Just deserve ... The boy disappeared suddenly earlier ... Inner Crown Prince Xiao Ce.
Yiu who had already twisted his body was about to step back towards his pavilion feeling someone snare at him from behind finally turned to the source of the voice.
"Thank you for the help and ideas from you Li Ying if it wasn't for you maybe today Zhang's Kingdom would be doomed."
It turned out that the voice came from Prince Wu Xiao who was already right behind Yiu.
"Name-sama ... Wait a minute, what were you doing to me?"
Yiu smiled sweetly yet briefly towards Wu Xiao. Somehow there was a strange feeling that spread throughout Prince Wu Xiao's body as he stared at Yiu's sweet smile.
Wu Xiao regained his consciousness after feeling a violent push on his shoulder made him pushed back.
"Ebh ... Whatever I want to call you anyway I did call your name is that wrong? Wouldn't your pseudonym be Zhou Li and Wang YingMei's real name if the two were merged into Li Ying" Wu Xiao began to display an innocent countenance.
"Whatever!" Yiu flicked his hand and was about to step away towards the exit of the palace garden.
"Wait for Li Ying!" Wu Xiao slightly shouted calling Yiu's name with the new nickname he created himself.
"What else?" Yiu turned his body lazily and looked at Wu Xiao panted.
"Aren't you going back to your Kingdom tomorrow afternoon Li Ying?" Wu Xiao brought himself closer to Yiu.
"Yes ... Then?" yiu replied lazily.
"So early in the morning when the sun hasn't woken up, get ready and don't lock the west window because I have a surprise for you tomorrow as a sign of gratitude" whispered Wu Xiao in Yiu's ear which made Yiu wonder inwardly.
"Why not now? Why is it tomorrow morning and why can't my window be locked? You want to do something like that! Damn it I won't let you live!" Yiu started to get emotional but still wanted Wu Xiao's explanation.
"You crazy? Remember, you're not my criterion at all so don't think too wildly and for tomorrow's problems you'll know for yourself" Wu Xiao said, then left Yui alone.
Yiu snorted angrily then walked slowly towards the garden door and there he saw Prince Huang and Crown Prince Xiao Ce standing there and was probably waiting for Yiu while conversing.
Yiu was very nervous and afraid of being punished by Crown Prince Xiao Ce because he did it again.
Yiu walked slowly towards the two of them, he swallowed his hard-earned saliva from his half-dead fear.
Prince Huang who noticed Yiu's presence smiled sweetly towards Yiu but was different from Crown Prince Xiao Ce who was looking at him flat but sharp.
Whether what Crown Prince Xiao Ce was thinking was whether he was indeed staring at someone with the gaze of his eagle or indeed he was angry with Yiu, the look on his face was completely unreadable by Yiu.
"Let's go back to the pavilions together" said Prince Huang, who walked slowly, followed by Crown Princes Xiao Ce and Yiu, who walked in parallel with Prince Huang to their adjacent pavilions.
Yiu walked down he did not dare if he had to look back at the creepy face of Crown Prince Xiao Ce, maybe Ying's true nature began to react when he was near his brother on this one.
Yiu continued to chant prayers in his heart as his manic accidentally met the Crown Prince's eagle bead.
"God please save your servant from Prince Xiao Ce's rampage."
