LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

After the Empress stepped out leaving Weiye by the Emperor"s side, she was rather disappointed by seeing the Emperor staring at the exit where the Empress left with unfathomable expression. His sharp eyes seemed dull and was filled with worry.

Isn"t she just going back to her courtyard? Why is he looking like she is going to die? On other thought, it would be better if she dies...

Chu Weiye sneered in her heart but concealed it with her sweet smile and walked elegantly toward the Emperor who was still standing.

For now, I"ll be the Empress! I"m carrying the dragon seed in me... Who else is comparable to me?

Weiye searched for her father who was among the hundreds in the big hall and gave him a victorious and prideful smile.

Sensing Chu Weiye approaching him, the Emperor got out of his daze and sat on his Dragon Throne. Chu Weiye as if it was rightful for her, tried to sit beside the Emperor on the Dragon Throne herself and the entire court witnessed the angry glare of the Emperor and the unsettling growl of Mo Chen. And the court wasn"t pleased with her att.i.tude either. Priestess Shu on the side stepped forward to stop her.

She really dared to sit on the Dragon Throne? Since when a woman could sit in the throne? Just because the Empress asked her to accompany the Emperor, she got this confident?

Thankfully the Emperor composed himself when the Eunuch Qin who"s been serving the Emperor these days understood the situation and brought a separate chair for her to sit beside the Emperor.

Chu Weiye"s face blacked but by this blatant shaming by everyone but she concealed it and sat in the chair brought for her. She looked at the Emperor who didn"t even look at her and her heart filled with bitterness.

After that night when she touched the subject of he Empress, she could feel the Emperor getting cold to her. Even the act he couldn"t stop but involve in, lost it"s fierceness. He is not getting seduced by her anymore.

Thankfully he still stays with her and she is sure that the Emperor will fall for her once again if she could get him interested in her body once more. That is why she is hiding the fact that she is pregnant too. It was hard to hide it from the Empress but to dispose that golden haired seductress, she must work hard.

If her pregnancy is announced, the Emperor will stop sleeping with her and might find other women. She cannot let that happen. She must get the Emperor fall hard for her to secure the highest position in the kingdom next to the Emperor. For that she was willing to do anything!

After the ceremony was finished, the Emperor rushed to visit the Light Wind Courtyard to have a talk with her, if she hasn"t left yet but was interrupted by Weiye.

She spoke some useless things he didn"t mind much and also expressed her half-a.s.sed concern for the Empress.

"Will you visit my Fengyi Palace tonight, Your Majesty?" she asked.

"No", he said blatantly, "Go rest, you look pale!", he said and left that place. He was in no mood to chat with her.

When he went to the Light Wind Courtyard, he saw her sitting in the study drinking wine. He saw a shadow guard from the Heavenly Flowers Palace reporting to her.

"Your Highness! These humans are accused of breaking our palace"s rule but they say they are framed. The madame said that these men are all the ones plotting against the current monarch of the Wind Kingdom as per a letter sent by the third prince. And... We all detected the presence of Scarlet Sovereign inside our Palace and we strongly believe that it was his grace who framed those men... So we are planning to release them but then the madame asked us to ask your opinion if we should handover these men to the officials to be persecuted. ", he reported.

" Little Yuan?... ", Bai Li taking Xing"s form as she asked of him rubbed his temples, "If they were framed, is there some officers of government there too? ", he asked knowing that if Little Yuan is involved, he"d have planned for everything.

"Yes, a justice official who missed the ceremony is there with his subordinates... What should we do?", the guard asked.

"Do it like this!", Bai Li gave plans to the guard on how to handle those men to the justice official rather inconspicuously in a way the Heavenly Flowers Palace will not be implicated as taking a side or as involving in politics.

That Yuan cannot help but get involved in the affairs of the court...! Even now he is trying to help the Emperor and the Empire, Bai Li thought.

The guard confused by the decision of his boss on why the centuries old rule is being bent, went back. He didn"t know that he is doing this for that la.s.s and her ancestor.

" Bai Li..? ", the Emperor found out the person sitting on the chair with one leg up must be him taking Mingxia"s form.

So she already left!

Bai Li gave him the letter she wrote that had its seal broken and obviously read by him already.

"Idiotic la.s.s! Calling herself the reincarnation of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor and giving that idiot all the credits! Does she want no name for herself? Annoying...!", he mumbled drinking another jar of wine. He was really p.i.s.sed.

The Emperor read the small paper with her official seal that looked like the statement she had written to be released about her absence.

She had written poetically and emotionally enough to move people"s hearts to tears. First she had greeted everyone and then she added how she was glad to see everyone in harmony in working for the government. She also wrote how everyone should be maintaining this harmony till the end to achieve more.

Then she wrote how she is the reincarnation of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor and just as in her previous life, the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor left the palace once everything was settled, she is leaving since everything is settled here and just like he has no grave, she"ll have no grave here too.

The Emperor realised that this was her purpose... In case something happens to her, she didn"t want to be buried as an Empress in the Imperial burial ground.

That selfish person! She didn"t even bother to hesitate to use the name of Tians.h.i.+ Emperor for her own purpose. She wants no one to remember her as the greatest empress in the history of the entire three kingdoms, probably the five kingdoms because she doesn"t want to be known as the TongTian Emperor"s wife... As my wife!... . Such a... Annoying person!

For my brother, she is willing to lose everything else.... Ah! It is my misfortune that she had met my brother before she met me! She"d have made a perfect Empress and wife! Too bad! She is my brother"s now.

The Emperor sighed. The other letter he read, she stressed in the first few lines to read it only if she met with some misfortune and probably couldn"t make it back. This made the Emperor"s heart squeeze and he still read the letter anyway.

She had left all her properties in her name to be looked after by Lord Ming and to give away in charity.

"Lu Junjie! Don"t let your brother get away from you", she wrote, "Keep him close to you so that he won"t sink into darkness once I am gone!". He could sense the stress she was in trying to write these words by her handwriting.

What a cruel woman! The Emperor"s eyes watered. If anything happened to you, my brother won"t live for enough time to descend to darkness!

"You are the brightest person I"ve known", she wrote, " Don"t lose your light. But be vigilant too! "

I will!

"Be nice to Weiye. She must feel terrible to fight with other women for you. Even if she does anything wrong try to educate her and don"t push her away. And never get angry at her for someone else especially another woman even if it is me. No wife will be able to accept that!", she wrote.

You selfish p.r.i.c.k! Why can"t you stay true to yourself? Why are you saying these unnatural things? The Emperor rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath.

"Take care of my father and brother. In case I died, tell them I ascended to Heavens or something... No, just kidding, don"t...! Just tell them I went travelling. Man! My father won"t be able to handle it if I die. He"d be alone and lonely.At least brother has a wife now. But, Always have an eye on that Takano. I don"t trust her. And Maya too even thought I trust her, she might be pulled to certain circles if not watched prpoerly"

Then comeback and check up on everyone... Its not like I only have time to look after the people you like! He hissed to himself and the PS got him.

"You are going to become a father! When Weiye tells you, pretend to be surprised. She will like it. And you are the most amazing person I"ve ever known and you"d son would be perfect too. Hug him, teach him, play with him and love him... He"ll turn out great too. "

The Emperor crumpled that paper and stared at the table for sometime in deep thoughts....

You cannot die! Please be safe...!

The last thing Xing remembered was killing Old Rong in Haru" s old room and afterwards entering a coughing fit with Chenglei"s warm hands patting her back.

She felt like she was floating when she saw that G.o.d of water holding her hand and dragging her towsfds the heavens.

"Let go!", Xing tried to protest but the grip on her wrist only got worse.

"You are summoned to the heavens.!", Mazu replied with her deep blue eyes glimmering with various emotions and Xing felt like something was wrong in this scenario. She looked at her closely and realised she was in her spirit form than her physical form.

The previous times she visited, she was always in her physical state. So why is Mazu bringing only my spirit to the heavens now?

"Let me go back, first let me talk to my man and then go back with you! And I don"t like being dragged along!", Xing paused her move and focused her eyes on Mazu who seemed a bit jumpy.

"Don"t mind that! I"ll make sure you return back at the same time as you left! ", Mazu a.s.sured her and they had already arrived at the Heavenly Council"

Xing could sense that Mazu had some other agenda in bringing her spirit to the Heavenly Hall and so she decided to leave that hall as soon as possible.

"Why am I here?", she asked the Heavenly Emperor.
