I Hate Emperor-Types

–At The Wutong Palace–

Wei Yujin: -looks up-

•••Zhao Wu... This sounds like it was named by Empress Wei...

Empress Wei's resting chamber was called the Wutong Palace. Obviously, the two have had good times together.

But now...

Eunuch: What about his majesty?

Maid: His majesty has just woken up. He is still preparing...

Wei Yujin: •••Even though she was almost killed in a fire, he can't even bothered to leave his palace...

Heh... I hate emperor-types! *evil smile*

Maid: Eh? What happened to the deposed empress?

Why she hasn't given a change of clothes before coming over?

Eunuch: Err... She was advised several times on the way... She keeps shaking her head...

Wei Yujin: •••Change of clothes...Heh...

Eunuch: Lady Wei, please follow me...

Wei Yujin: And let all that lake water i drank go to waste?

Dream on.

*Meanwhile*

Emperor Che: ....

Deposed Empress Wei...? *knit brows*

•••Lady Wei is typically arrogant and despotic...

She loves dressing in elaborate and garish clothing... People are always in awe on her...

But now...

She looks sad and pitiful... She appears quite inoccent and weak...

Which of you allowed her to kneel? Help her quickly!

Eunuch: Eh! Yes!

-rushed towards- Lady Wei, please, to your feet..*helped up*

•••Tsk~ Wasn't this your rule, your majesty? You were the one chasting her for her insolence and crude mannerisms. You were the one who ordered her to kneel upon sight of you. She would only be allowed to stand by your grace...

But...

Our friend here is also an insolent one... She has never once listened to his majesty... In the end, she wasn't even willing to perform a simple bow...

Who would have thought that now...

Wei Yujin: Your majesty...

please, arbitrate for me... Someone washed to harm me today.

•••What happened today...It should be fine as long as i tell the truth... I don't think they will be able to deny it...

Emperor Che: Harm you? Elaborate.

Wei Yujin: Today, during the mid-autumn festival, i was alone... I was not feeling well so i returned earlier to rest...

•••Can't tell them about drinking the arsenic... It's a lethal drug after all. How could i be standing here after that...

I was suddenly woken up by two ladies-in-waiting speaking outside. Then, the fire was lit. I could do nothing else but to crash through the window and jump into the lake to save myself.

Also... The window was locked... *acts pitiful*

–Quite–

Wei Yujin: •••Eh? What's going on... Even after my tearful presentation, how can they still look so doubtful...

The empress Wei's memories are a little

blurry... Could it be something that happened before that i can't remember...

Emperor Che: Since Lady Wei has said this. Bring the two ladies-in-waiting she spoke of.

*Later....

Wan Cui: .....

Wan Cui G-...Greetings Y-...Your Majesty...

Wei Yujin: Eh?

The way she looks... It's so different from the vile expression i saw her on just a moments

ago...
