The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

232

Zhang Fei felt a deep inner conflict. He did not want to get back on his knees, but the power and influence of the tradition was so great that he felt powerless. The lower part of his knee was painful and swollen from kneeling for a long time, as a result of a mistake he had made.

The pain added to his emotional burden. As a result, her appetite was gone. Although the Peach Girl tried to persuade him and offer him food, Zhang Fei was only able to swallow a few pieces of cake and a glass of water. His body was tired and his mind was constantly troubled by his feelings of guilt and limitations.

But time continues to go on. As the clock showed at 02:00, he was forced to return to the hall and kneel once more. The Peach girl tried to help by adding padding to her knee, but the pain was felt even more as she had to kneel the same way for several hours.

This time, when he was kneeling in the hall, the tears flowing from his eyes were real tears. Her cries filled the room, and the sound of her sobs broke the silence. While crying, he spoke in a sobbing voice, "Emperor, why are you leaving so quickly? Why did you torture us who stayed? Huhuhuhoo..."

He felt a deep sadness in his heart, which was not only due to the departure of the Emperor, but also the result of the physical suffering he was going through. The few people around him and the little Eunuch who witnessed his cries fell silent, moved by a sincere expression of sadness.

"Oh, apparently the relationship of the late Emperor and the small palace was so good, I wouldn't have expected if princess peipei could cry so sadly when the Emperor died"

"Oh Uncle Prince is stupid so the support there is only the Emperor. Of course Princess Peipei is so sad, now the Emperor is no longer there how he can survive with her husband"

"Ah what a pity Princess peipei "

Everyone who saw the incident thought the same thing.They did not realize that his crying was actually not only about the departure of the Emperor, but also about the feeling of pain in his knee.

It is true that he did not expect the departure of the Emperor, death is fine but if it is self-defeating this is just as stupid.

"aw my knee...

His cries rang throughout the hall, and he continued, "Emperor, you shouldn't have left us. Your loss has tortured me..."

The news of the healing of Uncle Prince who had been treated by a genius doctor had spread throughout the capital. He said again this news was also known in various other cities before.Only, the capital was a bit late in obtaining the information.

The morning came without any noticeable changes. However, as the tradition of kneeling and crying resumed at 02:00 p.m., the mood changed. Everyone involved in this tradition glanced towards Uncle Prince with a comparative look. They compared him to the figure of the Uncle Prince from the weak and vulnerable past.

In the midst of the crowd, Uncle Prince himself knelt in silence. His eyes shone clear, emitting an unfathomable positive aura. His childish face now seemed even more resolute and wise. His figure had even become stronger and possessed wisdom.

The views of the people focused on the kneeling Uncle Prince with a different attitude than before. They could feel an incredible transformation in the man.

 Whispers began to be heard among the crowd of people. "Is this really the same Uncle Prince?" the first whisper was heard, a doubtful voice behind it. "I never thought he could change this fast" another whisper echoed. "Are the rumors about the cure true?" there was a doubtful whisper.

However, as Uncle Prince slowly knelt down with a thoughtful gaze, skeptical whispers began to shift into dumbfounded whispers. "I don't believe this" whispered a voice that couldn't hide admiration. "It's real, isn't it?" there was a whisper full of astonishment. "He has really changed" the whispers finally acknowledge the reality that lies before their eyes.

Although his attention was actually on the kneeling Uncle Prince, Uncle Prince himself was impressed unconcerned. The loss of the Emperor Brother and his last blood brother had left a deep trace of sadness in his heart.

As a martial arts practitioner, he had sensitive ears. Although he seemed unnoticed, he heard the essence of the whispers flowing.

On the Uncle Prince's side, he thought, "Maybe this is something the Princess did after the Emperor's death."

Here, uncle prince knows, if the Princess has power in his hands.It is not impossible for his influence to penetrate until there is news about his recovery.

He had absolutely no idea, if the spread of the rumor was actually nothing to do with zhang Fei.

Although there was, it was only a little and gossip spread voluntarily.

Meanwhile, some of the nobles and ministers present in the incident actually knew some of the ins and outs that were going on behind the scenes. Although they had knowledge of the transformation of Uncle Prince, they had deliberately chosen to behave like they did not know.

The one in fear right now, not the former emperor or the princes.But the princess peipei herself.

As for Uncle the prince was the one from the princess so offending Uncle Prince was offending the Princess.

The punishment of offending Princess Peipei's husband was tantamount to death. So here everyone is just looking safe.

That way, the afternoon passed quickly, until it was five o'clock in the afternoon where the tears of zhang fei had dried up like an old well in the summer.

Just when the Peach Girl came to help zhang Fei stand up, it was at that moment that a eunuch shouted saying if there was an edict from the late emperor.

Since this was the decree of the former emperor, be unwilling, it was Zhang Fei who was already about to stand up, so kneeled down again on the hard floor.

Not only zhang Fei but everyone including the Peach girl also had to kneel down.

Decree of the emperor, his nature is the word of the emperor himself.So they should behave like they are listening to his voice instead of an ordinary piece of paper.Therefore everyone immediately knelt down again.

With solemn silence, a eunuch read out an edict written by the late Emperor. His voice filled the room, lifting up the words with wisdom, while his hand that was holding the paper as if it was holding a treasure .

"The marriage of the Emperor and Queen is a gift bestowed by the heavens. A bond that cannot be broken, even by death. Therefore, at the time this Emperor was buried in his final resting land, the Queen who had been with him should also accompany him by bringing their marriage and allegiance to another realm."

The words spoken through the voice of Kasim , symbolize the decision of the late Emperor. The desire to unite even in death was the idea of the Emperor.

As those words rang out, the atmosphere in the hall changed. Everyone who was kneeling was instantly dumbfounded. Those who had previously wept and engaged themselves in the ritual fell silent, stunned by the meaning contained in the edict.

Their eyes widened and their faces could not hide the confusion. They felt like they were jolted from and were suddenly fixated on the words they had just heard.

The decision of the Emperor who wanted the Queen to be buried with him alive was unexpected.

Everyone was astonished and surprised including the prince's uncle.He knew the Emperor made a last-minute edict but had absolutely no idea what the contents of the edict were.

Instantly the nose of the prince's uncle became sour.Maybe this was done to avenge the third prince.In the end, his favorite prince was still the third prince.

Ironic but it's better. That way the Emperor had already eliminated one enemy from the fourth prince.

It's okay what.

If others were surprised but not so with zhang Fei, he already knew this from his gossip system.

("However, these are the words of the Emperor, who should be honored and followed in this kingdom of Dayun.")

 "Right, these are the words of the Emperor that should be respected. Even so, as a human being, I feel this kind of punishment might be too severe. Whatever the reason, they are husband and wife who have lived together for many years."

("happily, Tradition and punishment have their respective roles and purposes, to maintain balance in society and set a fair example. Although it is sometimes difficult to understand or feel this decision, sometimes we have to seek understanding in a broader context.")

"I understand mama, one must find a balance between respecting tradition and considering humanity and individual dignity. Hopefully in the future, there are ways to bridge this gap, even in complex situations like the present."

("Hem , his time will come for the host to make the world change ')

"Ckckck I hate this "

("Hahaha accept my fate Hahaha")

Meanwhile, at the same time, the Queen was approached by eunuchs in her mourning clothes.

From what was brought, it was clearly an edict from the late emperor.

In his mind, he thought the content of the decree would talk about raising his second son as Emperor in the future. Who else could aside from the son, that is the fourth prince.

"The third prince has obviously been in rebellion, he will always be known as an ungodly prince. while the birth family of the 4th prince were all dead so he had no power at all behind him. But my son is different, I am the queen and my son is more than worthy to be the next Emperor hahaha" thought the Queen who did not cry but instead showed her smile.

Although she was wearing an all-white dress, the symbol of her joining with the passing of the Emperor . But the luxurious fabric materials that adorn those clothes cannot be ignored. A light smile appeared on his lips, which hinted that behind all the events, he did not feel too struck by the Emperor's departure.

Several people who were around, including the Eunuch who held the decree, were aware of the Queen's expression that was unaffected by the Emperor's departure. However, because of their status and the content of the edict they knew, their views remained sympathetic and sad.

"Casian"

Only that one word was written on the foreheads of all the eunuchs present back then.

Then, Kasim read out the decree in a loud voice. Immediately the contents of the decree shook the atmosphere and the Queen who had seemed excited suddenly felt a loss of balance. The servants of his palace were astonished and could not help him stand up straight.

Brakes...

"Queen!"

This grand queen in a luxurious white dress actually fell to the floor unexpectedly before. The person who became the first woman in Dayun, actually fell with a condition that was so embarrassing.

Some people think so but the Queen doesn't think so at all.

"What did you say?" The queen asked Kasim with an incredulous face.

Kasim, struck by the Queen's reaction, took two shaky steps back and handed the decree to the Queen for her private reading

"With all due respect to the queen" said the eunuch who extended the edict before the Queen.

The Queen grabbed the decree with trembling hands. He felt his courage shrink along with every word he read. Although there were feelings of hatred between them, but for decades of marriage, there must have been moments of sincerity and longing between them.

However, as soon as the Queen read the words written clearly on the paper, her body felt weak. Anxiety filled him and he read the edict again, trying to find a gap that might give a different meaning. But the horror got more into his face.

"it's impossible that the Emperor couldn't possibly have done this! No way!!"

"No .. The second prince, tell the second prince to return to the capital"

The head of the queen turned around, he was looking for a plan to save himself.

"Call my father and brother into the palace, quickly, tell the queen to force her way into the palace" he loudly chanted.

"Sorry queen, the residence of Minister so is one of the residences attacked by the third prince, so...

"What's?whatdidyou say?"strangulate the queen again .

He would definitely never think if his family residence was also the target of the third prince.

"Some people died and included with the minister so and...

Suddenly, the decree fell from his hands and his body fell into oblivion. The queen fainted, her emotional balance shattered by the contents of the decree and the shocking news.

The dowry servants of the Queen remained shocked and frozen in their place, unable to move even when the Queen fainted. Impressed by their stiffness and fear, they seemed fixated on the situation

However, the eunuch's voice that broke the silence immediately woke them from the confusion. "Hey, what are you doing? Bring the Queen to her room," eunuch reprimanded in a stern tone, reminding the servants of their duty.

"Good"

The servants quickly moved, immediately lifting the Queen carefully and laying her on the silk bed that was now pure white.

Although the Queen was initially reluctant to participate in the tradition of kneeling and crying, this situation had changed everything. The Queen probably would not cry for the Emperor, she felt that there was no longer any reason not to grieve.

The content of the edict had provided relief for the dowry servants. In the funeral tradition, the Emperor wanted the Queen to be present beside him. This was a solution that freed the servants from the obligation to follow the Queen in death.

If there is no edict, they must follow the Queen in life and death, but now in the funeral, only the Emperor and Queen are required. This allowed the servants and dowries serving the Queen to stay alive, even after the Queen was gone.

While the Queen was in her weak sleep, the dowry servants did not know, had to laugh or cry.
