True Empire'S (True Empire)

True Empire's 32nd Poison!

The longer, ZeeLin's melody grew faster and faster as her husband's Flute began to play.

The real game just started my dear sister! Inner ZeeLin while looking at the dance of princess Hia Lu who is increasing rapidly followed the two melodies.

Bruk!

Uh!

The cheetah! Nah!

The sound of a musical instrument finished playing followed by the princess Hia Lu fell with a face that touched the floor hard then followed by the sound of broken guzheng strings and tools in the form of false nails made of the turtle shell split in two.

Everyone was stunned by his third appearance. What crazy game is that?! It's so beautiful and scary!. They had never heard a melody as beautiful and as scary as that!

"Currently... Actually broken. The quality of these strings is really ugly!" the muttering of ZeeLin was still heard.

The quality of the strings is ugly he said?! Did he not know the price of this guzheng string that Quan kingdom had?! The price is very expensive! With price ranking in second from the top! For the first rank only the empire has!. Thought those who heard ZeeLin mutter.

"No problem, the strings can be replaced later my daughter" said the King with an awkward smile.  It's not easy to get those strings my daughter! And you said the quality of the strings was very ugly! Don't you know the price?! The king in his heart.

ZeeLin stood up and bowed gracefully as before when she finished dancing.

"That's enough! I don't want you to accept any more challenges from anyone! Just sit back and enjoy the show!" haocun exclaimed resolutely not wanting to be denied.

What's?! So the intent of playing the two princesses of Quan kingdom said was a challenge?!. Think of the guests.

"Please return to your seats" the King told ZeeLin and Haocun. For Hia Lu's daughter, she had already gone to her room because her nose was bleeding. Like his nose was broken due to a very hard impact.

ZeeLin and Haocun returned to their seats. ZeeLin was about to drink his tea which was already cold but prevented by Haocun.

"Don't drink! The tea is poisonous!" haocun whispered.

"What?! How did Gege know the tea was poisonous?!" reply ZeeLin whispered as well.

"I was pretending to take your cup wrong. When I kissed, I felt a very faint smell of poison. I feel that poison is a poison that can make someone will be paralyzed slowly. You could say the poison is less dangerous than the poison you once consumed"

"What?! Are they the same people who gave me poison like back then?!"

"We can't conclude now. If someone gives you poison like you used to. That person is the person around us"

"Wait and be patient. I've been planning something that could get the whole family involved as well."

"What is Gege planning?"

"That's a secret, baby. I'll tell you when the plan will be on its way to its peak" Haocun pricked his wife's nose while teasing her.

"Ish gege nyebelin use the secret of everything!"

Haocun chuckled softly. "I don't want to drag you into danger. Be patient" he asked.

Inevitably, ZeeLin could only nod resignedly.

The event continued with the appearance of talent of the royal princesses and noble princesses. Nothing else is as exciting as the game of a husband and wife.

It is unexpected that the day that all men think will be a boring day throughout the event even there is an exciting and tense spectacle from members of the Quan royal family themselves!.

Tomorrow is the talent show of the princes and sons of nobles. Will there be another interesting event like today?. Just look at tomorrow.

The Queen hugged her daughter "Please tell my daughter, we will immediately avenge today's incident twice what they gave you!"

"REally?!"

"Yes! We'll give them both back so we don't get tangled anymore!"

"No ma'am. I want that jal*ng woman who gets the reply!"

"You mean, that guy named Haocun doesn't need to get a reply?"

Princess Hia Lu nodded happily.

"Do you like my daughter?!" ask the second queen while teasing her daughter.

"Mother, don't tease me" said princess Hia Lu spoiledly.

"Alright, if that's your wish Hia'er" the second queen rubbed her daughter's hair dearly"

"Thank you mother" said daughter Hia Lu then hugged her mother.

Wait for my revenge jal*ng! I will make you suffer as well as snatch your handsome husband! Inner daughter Hia Lu with a small grin.

At midnight, Haocun found a small bird suddenly making a sound beside the window of the room.

"It's a good thing Ze'er didn't wake up" he muttered seeing his wife still sound asleep.

Recalling the events before going to bed, made Haocun smile happily. His wife was still as strong as before being exposed to poison and made herself torture her to cover up her ego.

Haocun took out a small roll in the legs of a bird. After that the bird was released.

'I've prepared what you ordered' the letter said.

Why did Haocun use a small bird as an intermediary for his secret letter? If he uses a large bird like an eagle, it can invite suspicion towards his enemy.

Usually people will not care about the little bird and assume there is nothing on the bird. So Haocun prefers to send messages using small birds that he has trained to stay safe.

Haocun went back to sleep hugging his wife. Let the emperor's left hand begin to work. First, he had to send the JinHu prince to the imperial palace as soon as possible so that the plan could be carried out as soon as possible. He was sure if the fish began to be interested in the bait he installed.

'I won't let you live quietly in life this time!' haocun murmured inwardly before falling asleep following the wife to dreamland.

In this life, Haocun swore to himself. He will take care of his wife with all her soul and body. Pressing his ego to the lowest point. Will not let his beloved wife suffer again like in her first life.

If a shadow of the past flashed back in his memory, Haocun immediately felt a deep sense of regret. Because of his stupidity which further tightened his ego, his wife had to endure the suffering he gave.

...A little explanation :...

...(.(.Guzheng is one of the traditional Chinese musical instruments similar to lute from West Java or siter from Central Java. They are stringed instruments and both have wooden boxes as resonators. The difference, guzheng voiced a pentatonic tone consisting of notes do re mi sol la, typical of Chinese music. Guzheng or Chinese lute is among the most popular traditional Chinese musical instruments. Guzheng has a shape like a convex box and made of wood as a voice box, above which stretches 21 strings.)...

...That's a little bit of what I'm finding out, if anything goes wrong....
