Xing who was blaming herself till then got triggered by what the Emperor said and the tone he used.
There were a lot of things wrong in what he said. Rijun is her brother and her brother sometimes gets excited and hugs her and that would be a rare occurrence. He usually sticks to her whenever Mo Chen is around.
And Haru... How can he talk about him? What if I ate from his chopsticks? And why is he bothered by it when even Chenglei doesn't?
Then she realised all of the things happened would have avoided if the Emperor didn't enter her carriage and called her 'Xing '.
Wasn't he the main reason? And I even trusted him when he said he did nothing to me and loosened my waistband only to help me breathe !
Isn't he getting too bold?
"Oh, really?", she snorted and her golden eyes looked at him as if they would burn him.
"You are comparing yourself to Haru..? To Haru? Haru and I grew up together eating in the same bowl and drinking from the same cup for more than ten years. We even slept in the same bed right till I left the village. Never once did I feel uneasy with him or unsafe! ", she walked closer to the Emperor and poked his chest,
" You loosened my waistband to helpe breathe..? You know what? With Haru, I'll never have to worry because he never will touch the clothes I'm wearing. He'd have slapped me to my senses or poured cold water over me to wake me up...
And I hugged you and you let me...? Haru would have punched me in the face and stopped me.... He'd never sit next to me with his face inches away from my lips and stare at me like a pervert! So there... There is your reason why you are being treated differently! ", she pushed him back and he lost his balance and fell on the seat.
" You know what? I'm done with you! ", she waved her hands and snorted," Listen to me... You are not MY brother! You are Chenglei's brother and that is the only reason I'm putting up with everything... Well! That, and the fact that your death will cause many unwanted things to happen and I'll have to find a new heir to the throne and build the kingdom from scratch to finish my duties! Otherwise you'd be in pieces sticking to the walls of the carriage by now...", Xing clenched her fists in front of him and looked down on the Emperor with him staring at her dumbfounded.
Whoa! Scary!
Just as she was screaming at the Emperor, Bai Li entered and Xing's anger turned towards him,
" Huh! So much for someone who vowed to protect me! You are protecting me so well that I couldn't even close my eyes and sleep for five minutes!"
Bai Li was perplexed. She was always courteous to him till now and she is raging mad..?
"What happened lass?", he asked.
Xing just scowled and started looking for writing materials, pushing everything inside the carriage down. She was showing her full blown tantrum right now and everyone were frozen on their spots not knowing what to do.
She was angry at everything and everyone even herself right now.
"I will put an end to all this!", she murmured as she got a paper and brush and angrily started to grind ink with everyone staring at her dumbfounded.
After Xing finished writing, she searched for the Phoenix Seal and in the end she got it after Bai Li helped her. She was like an angry kitten scratching and clawing at everything... She looked pitiful, comedic and also scary at the same time.
Bam!
She signed the letter with the phoenix seal and waved the paper to let the ink dry all the while glaring at the Emperor.
"I shouldn't have let you go the first time! Now you've gone this far! Now let's see if you'll have time to come behind me after this!", she grumbled.
"Bai Li! Send this out as soon as possible! By the time we are back at the palace, the wedding must happen!", she ordered Bai Li.
The Emperor was curious about what she had written and asked Bai Li to give him the edict and he obliged.
The Emperor's eyes widened seeing what she had written in the edict and he immediately tried to tear it.
Chu Weiye is not entering the palace!
" Tear it and I'll bring in ten more and their sisters", she smirked as if she is challenging him,
"I know every "Noble Lady" who likes visiting the Heavenly Flowers Palace and particularly one "Lady" who has the hobby of tying up pretty men and whipping them for "fun" is still unmarried! She's a bit older than you, but hey, she will occupy your free time! ", she pointed her finger at the Emperor and smirked.
The Emperor's hands trembled and he looked at Bai Li who shrugged at him and he actually believed her.
What "fun" is there, getting tied up and whipped? Isn't that torture? I don't want to be whipped!
Well, Chu Weiye seems way better!
The Emperor who was completely owned by Xing had no other way to refuse her and passed the edict to Bai Li.
Only after Xing finished her ramble did she felt a bit relieved and she tried to get out of the carriage to get a breath of fresh air. She still felt a bit stuffed in her chest.
That dream felt too damn real! Could it be like other dreams that showed my future and my suppressed memory? Will this dream actually come to pass? Will I die killing Old Rong?
As she was wondering, there was a guard on the door of the carriage and she got the note he had. It was written in the Sky Language and she passed it to the Emperor who can read that language.
"The Admiral of the Sky Navy wants to have a peace negotiation", he gripped the letter hard in his hands.
"I'll go!", Xing came forward with no second thoughts.
"No!", the Emperor refused. He had heard information that the Admiral was not a good man especially to women and he didn't want Xing to meet with him.
It was not because he thought she cannot handle him but because he didn't want her to flare up and end up killing him which would cost them this war. An Empress killing an Admiral in peace negotiations won't do any good for the ones with the weak army.
Usually when there is a conflict between two forces, the one who has more perseverence wins.
In the end it was 'Lord Táng' and Lord Zhong who were commanded by the Emperor for negotiations as per the official record.
Xing didn't want Seiren to accompany her but since she had an amazing directional sense as reminded by the Emperor, she accepted his company begrudgingly.
On the way they stopped for a rest under a tree shade tying their horses nearby.
"How did you keep Maya back?", Xing asked Seiren leaning on a tree drinking water from the leather flask.
Xing didn't want to bring Seiren because she knew Maya will be suspicious of both of them leaving at the same time. She already is suspecting that they will make contact with the Admiral of the Sky Navy. Xing didn't want Maya to do anything stupid in her burning desire for vengeance. She really liked that girl!
"I told her that we are leaving to find a secret messenger and so she should look after the frivolous Emperor who might cheat on the Empress if she is out of his sight. Now all Maya thinks is protecting your position", Seiren stated the fact.

He clearly didn't understand how in just a few days, this woman stealer could almost tame that wild girl he found in the desert. She doesn't have that dark expression in her eyes a lot anymore.
Xing laughed by Seiren's answer and at the same time, the Emperor who was travelling in a slightly slower pace in the carriage sneezed and in the past day he had this eeerie feeling that someone is watching him all the time. But there would be no one around when he checks and his guards didn't find anyone suspicious around too.
Did that Mingxia put some hex on me for crossing the line with her? He wondered, not knowing the eyes following him were that of Maya's.
As Xing got up the horse, she asked, "Seiren, have you ever thought the Emperor's voice is identical to Chenglei's?"
This was eroding her thoughts all the time. She knew it must be the gods who had messed with her, but still... She could not accept the fact that she thought of the Emperor as Chenglei.
" You are kidding me, right? ", Seiren who was about to get on the horse paused.
"Wha.. Why?", Xing asked Seiren who looked like he just heard an egregious thing.
Oh my! Xing thought, So I have screwed up big time. They are nowhere similar to each other! And I mistook!
"Are you going to ask if the sky is blue next?", Seiren's mocking answer snapped Xing back to her senses.
"Mmm?", she asked.
"Look!", Seiren got on his horse, " Isn't that why your man doesn't speak much? Because both has the same voice and he doesn't want others to doubt they are brothers? Also, both have similar facial structures too. If I'm right, only their hair colour and noses are different. Anyone with little facial recognition skills could say they are brothers if they stand together. Bit their demeanour is entirely different. Your man has the don't come near me, I'll bite you vibe and the Emperor has the don't come near me, I'm superior vibe...", he looked at her still dumbstruck,
"Now I know why Lord Ming calls you 'stupid' all the time! You really are one!", he made a clicking noise prompting the horse to move and Xing followed him.
"I'm not stupid! I know you and your brother have the same voice as the Oldman. I know some brothers have the same voice! I just didn't realise the Emperor and Chenglei were similar....", she joined beside him.
Seiren just shook his head, " So it's not stupidity. It's selective attention! You see only what you want to see, right? ", he said and his horse galloped in the front as Xing slowed down.
If I see only what I want to see, why am I seeing the similarities between Chenglei and the Emperor now?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
