3Ry Cross Time (S1-S2)
THE DESIRED ANSWER

Return to the residence safely.

After finding out what he wanted, Reychu returned home. He didn't want to be caught at the beginning before he even started.

Arriving in the room in a way to settle and finally succeeded. Immediately he ordered his servant to prepare the bath water because his body felt sultry and sticky due to go around since the morning was already near noon. The reason, he took the decision this morning with his stealth friends to find out who is the person who is currently asleep due to minimized sleeping pills.

In the bathroom, Reychu brings Chi-chi, the stealth rabbit, to bathe together. As soon as he drives away his servants to do other jobs one of which is to prepare dinner for him even though it is a bit late, he immediately uses his solitude to discuss with Chi-chi about their search.

“Chu-chu, I've searched the entire east to north. But, did not find anything there.” explained the results he got out loud.

Reychu nodded at hearing that, because after all it was clear. Because Reychu was the one who managed to get the results he wanted, it could even be said he was very satisfied with the results. Without looking twice, he immediately clapped everything he wanted to get. Now he understands why Chi-chi can't find him on the outside of the area protected by a powerful spiritual force, all of that is because the person who is given sleeping pills is a very important person to be placed in a safe place.

“It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't find him. At least, I have found it.” he said understandingly while washing the half-human body of Chi-chi boy with their bath water. Yes, the two took a bath together at Reychu's request. Although at first received a strong rejection from Chi-chi because the two are different sexes.

Regardless of the Chi-chi demon or not. In fact, he is still a man. Suddenly, invited to take a bath together by a beautiful girl, it is clear if he became suddenly affected by a heart attack. But, fortunately Reychu was not so crazy that he still used the interior to be bathed.

“You've found it? Whoa, terrific! I know my Chu-chu is the best!” proud of. “Then, what do you get? Who is the person affected by the sleeping princess medicine?” continues asking.

Looking at the demon boy for a moment before replying. “She is the Queen Mother!” hatchlings. “But, there is something I do not understand here.” he said a little showing a confused expression and thinking while scraping back the memory of the owner of the body that he often forgets when not so needed.

“What is it?”

“Why is the old woman who must be given sleeping pills?! Isn't that suspicious? Moreover, until no one acts when in fact the condition of the Queen Mother has been sabotaged.” he said with a confused thinking expression. “I suspect... If the truth is with the Queen Mother! That is why, someone wants to silence him.” he continued while narrowing his eyes looking at Chi-chi like a detective when talking to his partner about a case.

“Someone that you mean... Grand Concubine?” guess Chi-chi.

“Can Yes. Can not! There was no lead that could be used to convict Gong Dahye as the suspect. But, it also does not have no possibility if he is the person.” replied Reychu explained.

“Then, what will we do now?” chi-chi asked while looking questioningly at Reychu with her face that was truly cute as a boy in general. Moreover, demons are never born ugly, isn't that perfect?!

Think for a moment before finally being answered. “Eum... Will waste time if we wait for Ryura. We don't know when he'll come. That woman is always unexpected. We can only do what we can first. While waiting for Rayan to return.” explained Reychu made a decision.

Thinking, not always he can rely on his best friend in all situations. Although this was no longer the first for him, he still could not be as capable as Ryura who was similar to a psychic or Rayan whose bulusus smoothly. He himself is the typical worker who is ready to take the most part in acting.

The two looked at each other for a while, before deciding to end their conversation. After all, Reychu had also sensed the presence of someone from outside the bathroom. It could be ascertained that it was his servants who were serving his dinner in the room.

Eurghs…

The belching sound of Reychu signifies the end of the dinner for him and Chi-chi. The dinner that since he came out of the Cold Palace has always been delicious served.

While coolly relaxing while letting the incoming food begin to be digested by the stomach, a cry was immediately heard from outside by one of his servants.

Someone he never thought of came to visit. Reychu spontaneously rolled his eyeballs so lazy to have to deal with the person again.

He could not wait to finish everything here so he could leave immediately. Reychu did not want to linger in this Huoli Kingdom anymore.

“Your Majesty the Empress.. His Majesty Emperor Li came to visit." exclaimed one of the servants outside his room.

Hearing that without being told again, Chi-chi immediately changes shape into a rabbit and rushes to the contest to start behaving as if she was sleeping.

“Let him in!” reychu shouted lazily.

Taps…

Taps…

Taps…

Strict footsteps echoed throughout Empress Ahn's bedroom. The handsome man who could not even attract the attention of a Reychu came alone to his wife's room.

Once he was inside, right in front of Reychu who was still sitting in his chair as if to indicate implied that his presence was very unacceptable in the Queen's Residence. Emperor Li chose not to push him because he no longer wanted to fail to get a second chance from his wife.

Gazing lazily and cynically, Reychu raised his voice. “One address ‘kah?” ledek.

He looked at the beautiful face of his wife for a moment gently. “No! I did plan to visit you after returning from the Temple.” breathed a doubtful breath. “Should have been, you came to the Temple with me earlier. Dahye, ask. He felt sad to find you did not follow.” his sentence immediately realized that he had made a mistake too soon, especially after seeing a full grin would be imprinted on the lips ranum his wife.

“Ouh. Came here just to tell me how pitiful Gong Dahye is, because of my absence?” reychu's real question isn't a question. “Didn't you tell him that I would curse him when I came there?” Emperor Li was silent with no answer.

Taking a deep breath to ease the uncomfortable feeling in his heart while circulating his gaze for a moment, before looking back at Reychu who has now changed his sitting position to lean forward by focusing his elbow supporting his chin.

His posture is very lazy.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that at the beginning.” said Emperor Li feeling guilty with his eyes that had been cheering.

But Reychu is still Reychu. Since when did his defense break down just because of the other person's pitying expression?

Maybe, wait for the world to reverse first and then Reychu who easily collapsed appeared.

“So, you mean.. You'll keep telling me after making small talk with me, will you?” cetus Reychu with his question. Emperor Li again condemned his folly which again made a mistake in explaining.

Narrowing his temple, he said. “Please believe! I really didn't mean it!” said Emperor Li sincerely but sounded resigned and the sincerity in question soon vanished once entering Reychu's hearing.

In other words, sincerely not others. Reychu never responded, even though he knew that the person was sincere with him. Because, once it's not important, it's still not important. Not much different from his other friends.

Seeing how low Emperor Li was now taking a stand only to win him back, instead of being pityed or touched. The girl was happy because of it. He considered the misfortune of Emperor Li to be something comforting to him.

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind. Seeing the source of the answer before his eyes, Reychu did not want to miss it. Without any more ba-bi-bu, Reychu immediately asked the questions that had accumulated in his brain.

“Already, I don't want to talk about your beloved Gong. There's something more important I want to ask you. Are you going to answer?” reychu asked without knowing that Emperor Li was pleased as if he had obtained a chance to approach his wife.

Soon the man took his place in the other seat facing Reychu with a round table as his second barrier.

“What do you want to ask? I'll answer everything!” emperor Li's face was as bright as it seemed. Unfortunately, Reychu was insensitive to it so it seemed ordinary in his eyes.

“Good. I'll ask you directly then.” the wedges. “Where is Suri?” reychu asked directly. For a moment Emperor Li was stunned to hear it before finally exhaling a sorrowful breath.

She looks sad when she hears the word ‘Mother Suri’. Without wanting to cover up the facts, Emperor Li immediately replied after calming his heart that felt sorely remembering about his mother.

“He exists. It's just..” he said faltered because the feeling of sadness re-emerged in the recesses of his heart. His chest tightened instantly.

“Only...” reset Reychu who did not even feel sad. The tone is slightly reduced, but can still be heard.

Staring in both of Reychu's clear and beautiful eyes.

“He is in a bad state. He's been asleep since that day. From a few months ago. The doctor said that he had an accident after hearing about the dispute between us. The diagnosis says that Mother fell from the stairs of her residence, when she was going to go to my residence and her head was hit so strongly that it eliminated her consciousness until now.” explained Emperor Li about the truth he knew without realizing that Reychu raised his eyebrows feeling strange with the explanation of the handsome man before him today.

How could that be, thought Reychu who felt that he had failed to digest what Emperor Li had explained about the state of the Queen Mother.

“This is me who is slow to understand it or indeed feels strange and awkward from what he said! This guy should be smart enough to digest all that.. Why does he even sound stupid?” he felt something was not right. “Fall down from the stairs of the residence, then hit his head and he fell into a coma?! Just right?!” inner Reychu returned with a roar not accepting with such an explanation.

He thinks it's weird. Too far-fetched. Although it does not rule out the possibility of fatal injuries due to falls, certainly all of it must be caused by accidents that are not trivial. If it's just falling down the stairs without proper elaboration, it's hard to say if someone is seriously injured.

“You sure it's the story?” finally Reychu asked the validity of the piety.

“Of course.” the wedges and understand which direction the wife's question is going. “Do you want to say you doubt it? Reychu, it happened on the same day you started your sentence. So, it is clear that Mother is surprised to hear the truth about us. Especially the fact about you that I put into the Cold Palace.” his tone was heavy and shrouded in guilt. Like making it clear to him, if all that was his fault.

“Moreover..” stares inside with a million flavors into Reychu's eyes. “Mother loves you very much. He can scold me, but he will never be able to do it to you. He puts you first of all, and so does the late Ayahanda. They're both always on your side. So, of course Mother is in shock because she heard I punished you to the Cold Palace.” she explained sad still with a guilt that like she could not eliminate, he explained, even though he had now cultivated his heartfelt love for his Empress.

“GOTCHA! HAHAHA... I GOT IT!” reychu exclaimed triumphantly from his heart upon hearing Emperor Li's words. Reychu did not even bother to grieve with Emperor Li after that explanation.

He was already quite pleased with the little truth, which was in accordance with his assumption about the Queen Mother who was the first key of all that had happened. With this fact, she could have boldly guessed that the Queen Mother must have been involved in the problems that occurred within her child's household. Either involved as the right party or the wrong party. This time, all he had to rely on was Rayan with all her skills who was able to reawaken the Queen Mother from her long slumber. However, before that of course he needs careful planning so that everything runs smoothly.

His main target was the Gong Family.

The bottom of his heart had convinced them that they were the culprit. But freedom requires a ticket. The proof of true truth, then, is the ticket to freedom.

“I understand! I still remember how they loved me when I was not loved by my husband who was even cool to sow love with his concubine even without feeling they did it in front of me. I felt sad at that time.” Reychu said frankly with a casual expression that was very incompatible with the insinuations he made to the Fire Nation ruling man who cheered before him.

For the umpteenth time Emperor Li could not reply to the words of his wife that pierced right at the center of his guilt.
