SIDE STORY 3: REPENTANCE OF THE BAILI EMPEROR

A few days passed like lightning striking in the short time since Liu Erniang's coup was quelled.

The ministers involved have been led to the Justice Ministry prison and will be severely punished. Although they have good reasons why they are involved, their actions cannot be justified.

Emperor Baili slowly began to recover from the poison that attacked him. In his palace, he pondered all day, not knowing what he was thinking. The hue of the face that is usually flushed due to anger, now it turns into pias.

He was like turning into a deep thinker unwittingly.

Perhaps, he had realized how great his mistake was to Baili Qingchen. Emperor Baili was too blinded by the fear of the seizure of the throne, which was only a fear in his heart.

In the end, he was betrayed by one of his wives and nearly died. The country was almost destroyed, the people almost suffered again due to the war with the South.

As he woke up in the middle of the blood-soaked court hall, he saw many soldiers lying lifeless. He also saw Xiao Junjie and Consort Sun die covered in blood after killing each other.

His uncle, Baili Qingchen, sat down blankly. His hand held tightly to a pendant covered in blood. The wound on his chest that was pierced by the sword, miraculously closed and healed. But the most important of it was: Emperor Baili did not see Princess Empress Changle anywhere. Even without footprints.

"Uncle.." - At that time. However, his voice was not heard by Baili Qingchen.

He recalled, before falling unconscious, he saw his uncles and aunts fighting to protect the palace and against Liu Erniang and Liu Wang and his minions. He also saw Xiao Junjie stab his uncle with a sword, then he was killed by Consort Dowager Sun.

He remembered, Qingyi pushed him away and replaced him propping up Baili Qingchen's body. After that, he did not remember anything, nor did everyone. But one thing was clear: Princess Consort Changle had left.

Emperor Baili did not know where the woman he wanted to destroy went. After actually leaving, Emperor Baili actually felt that he should not have hatred for him. Qingyi, it might be very annoying and brash. However, it was he who had saved this empire, and also saved his uncle.

"Your Majesty," call Eunuch Li. Emperor Baili was flabbergasted.

"Has Empress Dowager Changle been found?" ask Emperor Baili. Eunuch Li shook his head.

"No trace can be found, Your Majesty. King Changle had already deployed his entire army, but still had no results."

"No matter how far he goes, you must still find him!"

Eunuch Li could only nod in fear. If it was back then, the news of the disappearance of Princess Empress Changle would have greatly made her happy. But the situation is different now. This emperor of his, seemed to be starting to have compassion again.

"Your Majesty, King Changle asked to meet," Eunuch Li said after a while.

"Quick! Get him in!"

Then, Baili Qingchen with all her good looks and compassion walked into the emperor's study. He wears a gray robe. There was nothing strange about his appearance, only that his aura was filled with sadness and looked dark.

"Your Majesty, has your body recovered?" ask Baili Qingchen.

"Yes, Uncle. Thanks to the medicine that Princess Empress left behind, the poison in my body can be removed. It's just, Princess Empress, she...."

Emperor Baili could not continue his words when he saw Baili Qingchen bowed. The departure of Princess Consort Changle, was no different from the departure of a lover. Emperor Baili understood the cause of his uncle being so devastated, but if his uncle alone did not know where the woman should be, how could he expect more?

Baili Qingchen seemed unwilling to continue to dissolve in this situation. He suddenly looked up at his nephew, then steadily said, "Your Majesty, I intend to resign from the office of State Supervisor."

"Jingyan, I once said that you were an adult before you died back then. You can already accept cooperation from people you don't like. My brother left you to me knowing you weren't an adult."

"But, Uncle, can you stay with me for a few more years?"

"The people won't calm down if I keep shadowing you. Didn't you always want to get out of my sight?"

"Uncle....."

Baili Qingchen smiled at her. It was the first smile he had shown since the sad incident the other day. For Baili Qingchen, her duties as a companion of her nephew had been completed since Emperor Baili decided to cooperate with Qingyi. Baili Qingchen no longer had to worry that this country would be chaotic one day.

Baili Qingchen took out a secret decree of the late emperor from his robe, then burned it before Emperor Baili. It showed that he was no longer bound by secret decrees and was completely freed, considered to have completed his task even though the control of Jingyi's Cavalry he could not surrender.

"I will also give up my title and position as King of Changle. Your Majesty, you can calm down."

"Uncle, do you really want to go? It's better to be angry with me as usual, it's more relieving than to see you turn your back from me and from the court" Emperor Baili said solemnly. "Are you really calm about handing over the empire to someone like me? What if I destroyed your hard work all this time? Stay here, Uncle."

"My entire life was used to build a country and see you grow up. The training and supervision I gave you, will make you aware of your weaknesses and strengths. This time, let me live the remaining half of my life for myself."

It was only then that Emperor Baili realized that most of his uncle's life was spent on the battlefield and court of the palace. He really doesn't have a life for himself. How could Emperor Baili misunderstand a man who sincerely devoted his life to peace?

The more he thought, the greater his guilt.

"Uncle..."

"Your Majesty, don't make me an excuse and don't let my empress' efforts go to waste. Baili Wuyuan and her unborn sister, must have a good life."

Emperor Baili turned his face, sighing several times. "I did indeed plan on appointing Consort Jia as Empress Bingyue."

"That's great. Your Majesty, take good care of this palace, and yourself."

Baili Qingchen turned around, her words as if hinting she would go far, far away to the point of not being able to return. Emperor Baili was choked, he was about to run to him, but his feet stopped in front of the bed.

"Uncle," he called. Baili Qingchen stopped without turning around.

"Sorry."

Hearing that word spoken from his nephew's mouth for the first and last, there was nothing Baili Qingchen could do but smile in silence. Anyway, the decision is unanimous. The only thing he wanted to do now was to look for Qingyi.

When the figure of Baili Qingchen completely disappeared behind the palace's large and sturdy door, Emperor Baili sat back down. His repentance this time, was to drive his uncle away.
