The Empress's Revenge
#124
"Buy him a new outfit, we'll finish this in the Empire." Lin Yuhua finally gave the order to Long Ze who had been silent since then did not say much.
Long Ze nodded, he walked out of the private room quickly without waiting for the second order. Ling Zhi on the other hand just sat sweetly while playing with her long white sword.
"Huh, tired also turned out to play like this. I didn't expect that Empress Yuhuan whom these great men loved was just an easy fool to take advantage of." The man who came with the torn shirt sighed.
The insults that his mouth threw at Liu Zixia angrily, Liu Zixia wanted to move forward out of Lin Yuhua's arms to teach the man a lesson but Lin Yuhua was unwilling to let Liu Zixia go in the slightest.
"Don't get mad! That's not good for the fetus you're carrying. After all making a fuss here would make matters worse, I don't want my Empress' name to be looked down upon by others." Lin Yuhua whispered in Liu Zixia's ear.
But what he whispered could be heard by the people in the room. The man felt like he was going to overflow with anger when suddenly the door opened gently from outside.
A man in light purple clothes walked in with a smile that made the man in torn clothes feel danger. The man looked towards Liu Zixia at a glance before looking at the two men who had been playing the charade since.
"I can attest that Empress Yuhuan is innocent, I saw everything clearly from behind the window with my female friend. It's just that we didn't have time to come look here because there was a problem that we encountered earlier." The man finally made a sound after he scanned the entire face of the room.
Indeed, Liu Zixia from the beginning entered sitting near the window overlooking the inn behind this restaurant. Lin Yuhua and Ye Lian simultaneously looked out the window and they did find a woman with a face covered in a veil was sitting facing them.
"No, that's not possible. You must be lying" accuse the man of torn clothes in a loud voice.
He really did not expect the plan he had neatly put together to be broken by someone all of a sudden. He stood up and looked at the window, and there he saw a woman sitting too.
"We can prove Empress Yuhuan's innocence, even the waiter who delivered the food to our room can be a witness as well because when the commotion occurred they also looked towards this private room." The man in purple clothes continued.
Long Ze returned with some clothes in his hand, seeing Liu Zixia's spirit back plus there was another man in the room making him frown in confusion. He threw the clothes at the man who had his shirt torn off before sitting back in his place without asking.
"Alright, this matter is quite up here. We're not going to continue huh ... You see," pointed the torn shirt at the man in purple with tremendous anger.
He was upset about the defeat he received when victory was at his fingertips. The two men who were fighting Liu Zixia ended up choosing to go outside with sour faces, it was clear that neither of them had accepted their defeat.
"Thank you for helping us, what do you want in return?" Lin Yuhua asked directly at the man in purple.
The man in purple smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes in the slightest as if there was a heavy burden on his heart asking to be released. "My name is Ming Zhi, I came here looking for a woman named Ruan Zu. He had brought some beautiful women in our village by deceiving us. She said that she was the imperial concubine of Yuhuan and she came there to pray at the temple in our village."
Ming Zhi let out a rough sigh, the tired look from the long journey they had passed was clearly visible on his face. Moreover, there was a beam of wounds from his heart that came to be seen outside indicating that the problem he brought was quite difficult.
"What did he say that he could bring some of those beautiful women? Why are you so easily fooled by him? I'm sure he went there without any soldiers or servants, right?" Liu Zixia looked annoyed when Ruan Zu's name was mentioned.
Ming Zhi stared dejectedly at the window featuring a woman still looking towards them. "I have prevented the people from believing, even my wife has also been prevented but they have been persuaded by the woman's appeal. He said the Emperor needed a servant as well as some additional concubines and he came in a hurry that's why he didn't bring enough soldiers or servants."
"My wife's face has also been poisoned by them that's why my wife had to wear a veil. I came here to make sure of all that and happened to meet that strange scene earlier." The sorrowful look on Ming Zhi's face over his wife made Liu Zixia feel pity.
"Can I see your wife's wound? I know quite a bit about poison," Liu Zixia said in the end.
Liu Zixia did all that as a form of gratitude for the help of the man in front of her. The man nodded enthusiastically, the twinkle of his eyes made Lin Yuhua as well as Liu Zixia's other husband couldn't help but think of themselves.
