The Guzheng of The Moon

XLI

For Ah Mei, whatever she'll do. Provided Gu Zheng falls into his arms. It's not bad to also follow the plans of Consort Sui. Well, eventually the woman was of no use either.

It was useless to keep the old lady in the palace. Ah Mei had to admit, the woman's plan was very clever as well as cunning. And he likes.

Now Ah Mei just has to play her part well. The rest, Consort Sui will take care of it.

"The Empress, Consort Yue is already waiting for you," said the maid Ah Mei.

"What else does that girl want?" grouse Ah Mei.

Soon Ah Mei rushed into her pavilion and found Yue sitting on the edge of her bed.

Very presumptuous, inner Ah Mei.

"You seem to be busy, huh?" ask Yue.

"Don't make it easy, just tell me what you mean and what's your purpose here?"

"I want to visit my friend, is it forbidden?"

"Friends? Don't be so presumptuous, you're just a concubine" said Ah Mei cynically.

"And you're a conman and a murderer."

For a long time they were silent, but their gazes were ignited like flames. Throwing hateful looks at each other.

"Ruo, make us some tea" Ah Mei ordered her servant.

It didn't take long for Ruo the Servant to pour tea for Empress and Consort Yue. Because that girl did make it there.

"Drink," Ah Mei ordered again as Ruo poured tea for Yue.

As for Yue, the girl just kept quiet while frowning. His gaze descended to notice the steaming warm tea before him. Then he looked back at Ah Mei with a faint smile.

After Ruo took a few steps back and positioned himself behind Ah Mei, Yue took the cup.

"You like rosella flower tea, don't you? Enjoy it."

****

Yue touched the lips of his cup. Beautiful, interior. It meant the cup that engraved the phoenix that he was holding right now.

"We ... are really good friends, huh?" said Yue Yang who was still rubbing the lips of his cup. "You remember even my favorite tea."

"Take it and get the hell out of here" Ah Mei said.

Yue smiled wryly. The destruction of their friendship was no longer helped. Ah, he even began to doubt that they had been friends all along.

Slowly Yue shifted her cup forward Ah Mei. Yeah, he's not stupid to accept whatever that girl's giving him now.

Swap her own cup with Ah Mei's cup. "Drink, Empress. This is your residence. You should drink the tea before your guests. Ah, have you forgotten the ethics of the palace?"

"After all, how dare I precede you who are an Empress," Yue added.

Clearly Yue caught a furious look on Ah Mei's face. Even the girl's face was red with anger.

A while passed and Ah Mei remained unmoved not wanting to touch the tea presented in front of her.

"I'm not that stupid, Ah Mei-ah. So ... With you not touching your teacup, can you please make sure that you want to poison me again, right?"

Yue took the cup that belonged to Ah Mei. Willing to take a sip, but stopped in front of Yue's lips. With a glance that could not be separated from Ah Mei, Yue took the cup away from her lips then poured or rather threw it on the floor. The reddish-brown liquid poured out slowly from inside the tiny cup.

"Ah yes, I came here to tell you that I will not let go of Gu Zheng just like that. I've decided to take it from you literally. You know what I mean, right? That means also removing you from the position of empress. So, get ready."

The girl in front of him remained silent in her fury. At first glance Yue saw Ah Mei clutching the periphery of the table. Maybe it has broken down in part.

Poor table, Inner Yue.

With her chin raised like a real noble, Yue passed by Ah Mei's servant and nudged Ruo's shoulder quite hard. Purposefully. Yeah, it was very deliberate.

After exiting Ah Mei's residence, Yue walked quickly towards Gu Zheng's residence. All right, he's decided. It was too difficult for him to stay away from Gu Zheng. As Gu Zheng had already said, they were husband and wife.So what harm would it do if he teased the man a little.

It was too much for her to reciprocate Ah Mei's treatment along with Gu Zheng. They will do it slowly and one by one. Oh come on, he's not as loud and tough as his older brother Lai Xin.

"You're being a different girl, huh?" said someone who was walking behind Yue.

"As your advice."

****

"Congratulations, Empress."

"Congratulations, Empress," said the elders simultaneously.

"Finally the Yuhan Kingdom has a line of successors to the throne."

Yue was a little stunned. Just an hour ago he came out of the Empress's residence. He had heard the noise from that place. The ladies said, The queen fainted.

Ah Mei looked fit the last time Yue left her, except for her face that was flushed red with anger. Or accidentally the girl downed her own poisonous tea, I don't know.

Then now he also heard about the news of the girl's pregnancy. So, the entire palace was made a scene by Ah Mei. Overharvesting.

Surely the two queen mothers who were henchmen in her residence also came to the surface and unfortunately Empress Dowager Han heartlessly dragged Yue to visit Ah Mei.

So here comes Yue. Listening to the congratulatory calls of the elders who were outside the Empress's residence many times. Hot taste ears Yue.

"Are you okay, Empress?" mother Suri Jia asked with a worried look on her face.

"I feel better, Your Majesty."

"Oh, thank goodness."

Angry, jealous or whatever. The uneasy feeling when Ah Mei gained more attention due to her status as Empress.

But Yue would not take a headache. He knew this moment would come. And inevitably Yue had to be able to hold back her feelings. Yes, he should accept.

"What's this?" ask for a voice from outside the door.

Who else if not Gu Zheng who stepped gracefully into Ah Mei's room. Look at everyone in the room.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"What do you mean, Old Man?" gu Zheng asked who was still confused at the palace healer.

"The Empress .. is now pregnant."

Yue looked at the look on Gu Zheng's face which was impressed funny by his grin. It was not the happy smile that should have adorned the man's face. Precise disgust and cynicism are clearly portrayed there.

"really?"

Tbc...
