Xing went on to make tea and wondered what might have made the Emperor this angry early in the morning and after a bit of serious thoughts she could deduce it. The only reason he might be this angry after spending a night with a woman...

"Did she use some drug on you?", she asked with her voice shaking and she didn't feel good and she wanted him to reply no.

"Let it go", the Emperor waved his hands. It's not like it is new in this place for a woman to use this method to get the Emperor. And he is the Emperor. It is a surprise that till now no woman has succeeded in this. It must be because Mingxia runs a tight ship checking for poisons and aphrodisiacs regularly in every woman's courtyard. She protected me till now. That pretentious woman used it on me the day she entered and missed Mingxia's search.

Xing decided to find out the truth. And seeing her focused look the Emperor knew she won't let this issue rest and will pursue it. It's not like he actually lost anything... He wanted to sleep with one woman for the rest of his life and now that woman turned out to be that pretentious woman. So what? What difference would it make if it is another woman? Everyone will change in this place! And it is not like doing it with her was that bad... It was good actually! All in all he didn't lose anything.

Also if Mingxia starts pursuing this, she'd only be blamed as being jealous of the other woman the Emperor favoured. So it would be better if she doesn't pursue it.

He wanted to tell her that but he knows on the other hand, even if she steals candy from a child in front of a crowd and makes the child cry, she still will be praised by most as caring for that child, judging by the stature she earned in the previous days. So he decided to let her deal with the inner palace workings.

It is amazing he had to never worry about the inner palace till now. There were a little more than twenty women in there and never once did any complaint reach his ears that someone is treated unfairly or having any misgivings. Mingxia is amazing!

He knew it was because of her experience she boasts about from the Heavenly Flowers Palace. But he knows it is not only that but also the fact that she doesn't love him that way.

If that Harem belonged to his brother, she wouldn't treat those women fairly, he knew. She'd be jealous making the lives of those women miserable.

Or.... She might seduce those women for herself and turn that into her own Harem...

Whatever!

As the Emperor finished his breakfast, Xing looked at him seriously reading a document regarding the new tax reforms and felt a bit sorry for him and wondered if she did wrong by forcefully bringing Chu Weiye inside. Xing has to admit that she never thought that she'd go this far as to drug the Emperor.


Xing walked to the Emperor sitting and placed her hand on his head and patted it. She would agree this time it is her fault. She remembered that he said that he had decided to have children with one woman and her guilt only got worse. She remembered checking everything with her maids and she didn't find any aphrodisiacs with Weiye. So how did she mange to sneak it past me?

Xing really thought that the Emperor will gradually fall for Weiye and didn't expect her to do something awful and ruin her impression with the Emperor doing a despicable thing.

How did she think that any man would like her if she does some stupid and thoughtless act like this? Unless... She never wanted his heart or plan to get his heart... She only wants the title of the Empress! Xing felt a tug in her heart as she felt sorry for the Emperor.

He is a good man! He deserves better!

"I'm sorry, Kouki! I should have..."

"Thank you, Mingxia", the Emperor stood up and hugged her around her arms, gently. "Thank you for protecting me till now", he spoke in a heartfelt way with his voice trembling and looked at her after releasing her.

He looked at her with a guilty expression and flicked her forehead and she rubbed it with her palm after a gasp when he said,

"I'm the Emperor and ever since I've taken this position these kind of things are meant to happen to me. It is surprising I escaped till now. I don't mind... I'm a man and It's not like I lost anything anyway! And cheer up! Didn't you want me to have heirs? Wait for it... It might happen soon", he smiled and left for court.

Xing stood rooted in the spot for sometime and decided to look for Weiye. Even if it is her, she should follow the rules of the inner palace. She asked her maids to bring the gifts she had prepared and went to Fengyi courtyard. The other concubines' maids were scattered and looked for gossips to see if the Empress is going to pick a fight with the newly favourited Consort.

Xing did not care about them and was welcomed by the maids of that place and she was told that their Consort is taking a bath just now since she was made to lie in the bed without even let to take a bath last night by the Emperor.

Okay! Why am I told these unnecessary details? Xing thought but only later did she realise that those maids were bragging that the Emperor is favouring their Consort now and abandoned the Empress.

If only they knew!

Xing thought and tried to find out if there is anything suspicious in her courtyard and all she could find was a rouge made with a type of lily which is said to have aphrodisiac qualities as many of the prostitutes in the Heavenly Flowers Palace would use.

But it's effects are quite mild if taken in a little amount and if added in a larger amount it would give a bitter taste and no one will be able to consume it.

So if the Emperor is drugged by this... There could be only two possibilities, right?

One is it would have been mild and it won't have affected someone with great self-control like the Emperor. And if he lost his control with a mild dosage, it means he didn't want to control his urges and in that case he was not taken advantage and he is attracted to Weiye physically at least and it might develop into love.

In the second case, if a lot of this drug is added to make him lose his self-control, then the drink would have been so bitter. And if the Emperor drank it, it would mean that he has some place for her in his heart right? No one would be that polite enough to drink a bitter drink from someone they despise, right? In that case, the Emperor has at least a little feelings for her and it might develop into love.

Oh, little Kouki, you dumbo! You haven't realised that you've started to fall for a woman, right? I'll let you figure it out yourself... It will be more fun that way!

Xing's guilt all flew away and she felt really happy and relieved.

But there are a lot of factors here. All Weiye has to do is be patient and be nice to him and take care of him with good words and he will fall for her in no time. They might have started off in the wrong foot but it can be fixed anytime soon if Weiye is prudent.

Chu Weiye put in some airs in front of Xing by acting like she is so tired making Xing roll her eyes at her. It's not like she haven't done it before. She ended a war, had her first time with her prince that was so gentle and intense at the same time she thought that she won't be able to walk anymore but was able to and put a foreign Prince in his place all in the same day and even she wasn't that tired and could hold her own. Chu Weiye didn't seem like she is that weak. She could handle a night with the Emperor very well!

"Chu Weiye, now that you've been graced by his majesty, it is upto you to make him your husband and have a blissful life with him as a wife", Xing said knowing she would understand her. There is a difference between being 'husband and wife' and 'Emperor and Empress'. Anyone can take the role of Empress and she is the living proof of that. No one could complain her acts as the Empress... She might even be one of the best Empresses in their kingdom but she is not his wife. Surely being husband and wife would bring more happiness as Xing always wanted that strong relationship alone and that is why she endured all hardships to have that life with her prince.

Weiye had a condescending smirk in her face, " But he is the Emperor. How can he become a normal husband?"

Xing knew her words have some truth. Throughout history most emperors never loved a single woman for who she is. They were always the Emperor, the one above all, having everyone serving him. But Kouki is different, alright? She knew if Weiye tried even a little bit to understand him, she might be loved by the Emperor as much as the Tianshi Emperor loved his wife. He is such a good man!

"Try to understand him and be patient with him....", Xing smiled at Weiye in a deep thought and fixed her eyes in the rouge on the table. "That colour... He won't like it... Throw it away and show him your true colour... ", she said and stood up to leave.

Show him your heart, he will treasure it!

Xing knew she is smart to understand what she meant and left her courtyard.

The rest is upto her... And him if he wants to accept her!
