3Ry Cross Time (S1-S2)
ADVICE TO LONG WAN SHIE
The day changed again. The feeling of impatience was back like wanting to immediately finish the taste as soon as possible.
Reychu has just finished his breakfast with Chi-chi. As soon as the waiters clean the table from the cutlery that has been used, soon Reychu returns to work out a plan with Chi-chi.
"Chi-chi, now I want you to do something." she said as she looked at the cute face and the rabbit-stealthy look.
"Tell me. I will definitely do it for you." her reply was no less straightforward and confident as she patted her chest as if meaningless, 'you can count on me!'.
Without waiting any longer, Reychu immediately expressed his wish. "Good! Then, I want you to go see Rayan and Ryura. Tell them I need them. Have Rayan finish the antidote immediately and have Ryura finish the business. I need them!" said firmly. It seems that Reychu has already started to enter its serious mode.
Chi-chi looks at him with eyes that no longer look witty. "I want to get out of this palace, kingdom, and country. Being restrained in this environment is really troublesome. I don't like it." she explained. "You can do it for me, right?" reychu asks to confirm Chi-chi's interest in indulging his wishes.
With a bright smile full of confidence, the rabbit demon boy replied. "Sure! No need to ask him again. I'll do it soon. Although, to be honest... I don't really like having to deal with Ryura. That girl is too horrible!" he said shuddering in horror as he said the last sentence.
"What did you say? Haha... Don't look at him who's not alive. It was so herself. As long as you don't cross the line of calm. You're safe! He won't attack if he's not attacked first! About the horror. Ryura's level of horror is beyond doubt." he explained trying to calm his stealth friend from his dislike of his best friend, Ryura.
"That's it. You're just gonna send me a message to him. No need to linger, if you don't want to. Can't do that?" ask Reychu again.
Nodding in agreement despite some hesitation, Chi-chi said. "alright. Doesn't matter. As long as I can do it fast."
"Goodoo. Then hurry up now. I really want to get it done quickly." insisted Reychu impatiently.
"Emmm. I'm gonna hurry. I'll go first!" after saying that the rabbit demon shot away at lightning speed until Reychu did not realize it, when the boy vanished from his sight.
He opened his eyes plain, then turned his head around like a fool. "He's gone? Quickly.." he exclaimed as soon as he found the figure that had been in front of him, now lost somewhere.
Relax in a gazebo close to the lotus pond that can be visited by anyone, because it is not placed in the residence of each inhabitant of the royal palace.
Accompanied by various types of fruits, Reychu seemed to sit lazily with his legs protruding onto the other chairs, overlapping each other. His hands moved occasionally to pick up the fruit he wanted to put in his mouth.
Eat it with service.
It is like he is in the grace of relaxing without anyone interrupting his leisure time.
However, as he was preoccupied with relaxing his tail caught the shadow of a person who seemed to be hastily walking towards the west of the palace. Spontaneous, his eyes followed the figure until it disappeared behind the building that was there.
Raised next to his eyebrows with a thoughtful expression. "That's... The Prime Minister, right?" slowly lower his feet and return to thinking. "Why him? It's suspicious!" then a grin was engraved on his lips.
Turning his head towards the three maids who were always tailing behind him. They lowered their heads without daring to look up even though Reychu did not see it. Because, they have been afraid since they saw the terrible character of the real Empress Ahn.
Their backs began to feel cold. Worry creeps all over the body without warning. They began to feel a bad premonition just from seeing a grin on the lips of their Empress Ahn Reychu.
Gluey!
"Save us!" their minds pray in unison with the adorning sweat.
"Tell me the truth! What does Gong Dahye want from me, to put you by my side? Be careful I can take your lives right now, if you dare to lie to me." he asked in a relaxed but deep tone. His voice was life-threatening to those who heard it.
Gluey!
Again, they have trouble swallowing their own saliva. Confusion, worry, and anxiety rule their hearts and minds. After all, they were under the control of Grand Concubine Gong Dahye. It is difficult to choose betrayal, considering that the family is a guarantee of their loyalty. But, to die at the hands of Empress Ahn Reichu even though either can really be done by the Empress or not. Seeing the character of the Empress who had changed so much could have happened. Only, they will feel the real misfortune if they just die.
They are really in a dilemma.
"Fear, heh?!" ledek Reychu, chuckles later. "Alright, no need to answer. Stay loyal to him. Do what he wants, but still don't cross the line I've laid. You haven't seen how I get your bowels out, if you dare to break. I mean it, listen!" he also warned the servants.
They nodded in understanding at the same time very quickly.
Moving his hand to support his chin as he looked towards where the alleged figure of the Prime Minister flashed.
He casually said openly to Grand Concubine Gong Dahye's messenger servant without hesitation. It was already him.
"The Prime Minister's family is really greedy, is it? The daughter of the family was so intent on taking the position of Empress. Didn't he realize that his destiny would never be able to occupy that position. Too ambitious is not good either. Looks very greedy on power. What good is that?!" he said at length without thinking.
Behind him, the three servants could only remain silent because they did not know what to respond. Empress Ahn who was now was really big-mouthed and sharp. Anything can come out of that mouth without being filtered.
"It looks like I should find my replacement for the empress position." raised his eyeballs thinking. "Ep... I haven't seen another concubine. Only Wang Jinji was the first one I saw after I came out of the Cold Palace. It's so disrespectful! I'm the Empress here, but why am I being ignored?! It's so bad!" his grunts but still relaxed, like not really grumbling. "How about I recommend Wang Jinji as my replacement, hmm? He was well-deserved for that position!" enthusiastic to ask about the opinion of the servant who was clearly a spy of his enemy.
Reychu was always very relaxed even if his purpose was known.
The servants could only look at each other in silence, as they did not have the right words to comment on what Empress Ahn was doing. They could only think about how to pass the news to Grand Concubine Gong Dahye when the time came.
Brak!
Reychu's table shake successfully surprised his three servants until they stroked the chest in unison. Looks funny to see.
After breaking the table, Reychu again smiled slanted full of tactics. "One of you, go and deliver my message to the residents of the Harem. I have something to tell you tomorrow. If anyone is not present, just say I won't make a repetition. What I am about to say applies only to those present. Understood?!" he was firm and straightforward without being denied.
" Okay, Your Majesty the Empress!" obey them unwillingly.
Calmness is felt again. Twice he ordered his servant to bring him fruits, because it was finished in an instant by him who was lazing. The girl was not bored doing it.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached him. Because, no matter what Reychu ignored him until the voice of his servant called out their greetings to those who came.
"Greetings General Long!"
The person who turned out to be Young General Long Wan Shie only nodded his head receiving their greetings. Without saying much he again stepped closer to the place where Reychu was sitting relaxing.
"Greetings to Empress Ahn Reychu! May you always be healthy!" his greetings as soon as he arrived right on Reychu's right side were a bit backward.
Glanced at a glance, before answering the greeting from the young General of the fire country. "You apparently! What's up?" ask her directly without caring about her greetings.
Hearing that, Long Wan Shie became awkward. It's really not like it used to be. Too distant. Her empress had really changed a lot like being someone else.
"Ehem. There is no His Majesty. I just saw you sitting here alone. So, I just want to come and say hello." she replied clumsily.
"Ooh. I think there's something important you want to tell me" he said, who had expected it.
"Haha... No, Your Majesty."
Remembering something, Reychu asked. "Oh yeah. You're Han Shang Nian's fiance, aren't you?" reychu asked as he turned his head to look at the young General of the Fire Nation.
"Right, Your Majesty" he replied confirming.
"How did you feel after the news of the death of the entire Han family should have hit your feelings enough, right? Regardless of whether you like or not the girl." she asked not to care, only it happened due to the actions of her best friend - Ryura-who attacked. According to him, it must be because of the stupidity of the family who dared to disturb him.
How poor!
"Yes, Your Majesty. But, I've been better." he explained briefly.
"Hm. Most men do recover very quickly from their pain." again, Reychu asked. This time it was just a pleasantries.
Long Wan Shie was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to say to answer that sentence.
"You guys were in a match earlier, weren't you?" ask Reychu to divert.
"Right, Your Majesty." he answered obediently.
"It seems, Emperor Li will return to match you later. You don't intend to search for yourself?" Reychu continued to ask which of those questions were sufficiently understood by General Long as to why they were questioned. It was just that he couldn't help but be awkward about the topic of the conversation.
"The servant cannot answer, Your Majesty. Because, lately also the work of the servant is quite time-consuming to just find a companion for life." he replied.
"Really! I'm not dismissing that. But, I'll still give you an advice." looked seriously.
"If you find your heart, tell Emperor Li immediately. So that he doesn't think to find you a partner again. But, if there isn't... You don't want to have to accept an arranged marriage from her, do you? I just want to remind you here. That whoever your choice is. If he's good enough for you. Don't waste him! Especially when looking for a concubine. It will only make your household ruined! Not all men are fair! I'm saying this, at least because we've had good relationships in the past. You're a great young man. But, the greatness of a man lies in his ability to build a household. No matter what rank you are in this country, if you can't even choose which spouse to age with you, you can't maintain your right marriage, can't keep your eyes off other women. You are considered a failed man!" exhaustive.
Long Wan Shie could feel the intent behind Empress Ahn's words to him. Not far from his own home.
"I think this is enough for you to understand!" said continue.
Long Wan Shie nodded in understanding. He was pleased with the advice that Empress Ahn had given him. It made him feel that they were really close like before.
"Son understood, Your Majesty. I will always remember His Majesty's message." - He was full of confidence.
"Good! That's a man! Straight, firm, and never hesitating on every single sentence he spoke!" proud or rather proud of himself who is able to speak so wisely. Until his heart to praise itself.
Rise from his seat to move. "All right, it's noon. It was lunch time." looked at the man whose height exceeded Reychu's own. "You come with me and have lunch with me. We haven't had time for nostalgia. After what happened." he pretended to be somewhat familiar. Reychu seemed happy to do just that, enough to boast of himself.
"All right, Your Majesty. In that case, I will do it as Your Majesty wishes. Only then will I return." bargained Young General Long while giving way.
"You're pretty good, perfectly suited to your handsome face. That's just right. Don't be like Emperor Li, he's too disgusting. Come on!" after saying so, Reychu also passed first leaving Long Wan Shie who was stunned half to death hearing Empress Ahn so clearly said her feelings for her own husband, who was stunned and half dead, he did not respond to Reychu's praise to him who said that he was a good and handsome man.
Then he understood, why did His Majesty the Empress advise him? All of that could not be separated from the pain in the treatment of Emperor Li for a long time. No wonder he so emphatically expressed his advice.
But, unfortunately. Young General Long did not really understand the current Empress Ahn. The girl did not even think of betrayal in her household, but wanted to show off considering her status was still a fire-state Empress.
After that, Long Wan Shie followed. As per his visitation offer, he actually drove the first lady back to her residence at once for lunch together.
