But the Zou Princess and her people would definitely not appreciate a husband with no hands or tongue… It was quite unfortunate and still very tempting.

The Emperor sighed as he lightly caressed Lei Xing's cheek with the back of his fingers. He had come in to find her sleeping at her desk. It appeared she had been waiting up for him to return and had chosen to take a quick nap at her desk, a quick nap that had sent her into a deep sleep.

In the end, the meeting devolved into an argument sparked by Prime minister Zhao's callous remark about how if the Emperor ever listened to him this would not have happened as he had long advised the Emperor to get rid of Prince Yi as his father would have wanted him to. An ambitious Prince should not be left alive to grow wings. Even though he was right, Defense minister Lei and did not like his insulting tone and told him to mind himself. Prime minister Zhao then basically accused him of being the Emperor's bootlicker because his daughter was the Empress. From there, the two and their supporters began talking over each other.

"I am neither the person whose action is in question nor am I the one who signed a relationship contract with you. Therefore, I do not owe you anything, much less an explanation... If you truly want answers for whatever this is, go find him." Lei Xing irritatedly finished, angrily brushed Princess Nalan's hand off, and stormed off, throwing out an order to the servants in her wake, "Escort her to her palace, use force if necessary and keep her there."

"How should I know?" Lei Xing said with some exasperation, she was really tired of this now. She took a deep breath and said, "Nalan, I have tried to indulge you, understanding that this must all be very stressful for you... But I have nothing to tell you, I know nothing. If you need any explanation for his actions, then go find him for your inquisition." With that said, Lei Xing promptly side-stepped Princess Nalan, but Princess Nalan grabbed her arm again and began, "No, you ha-"

Lei Xing then sighed and said, "There's only one person I that I have any "between" with and that is my Emperor. But you could not possibly be inquiring into my relationship with him and given recent developments, I assume you're referring to "your" Prince...correct?" Lei Xing asked and waited for clarification.

The only thing that really irked her about the entire encounter was the fact that the Emperor was quite bothered about her kissing Prince Yi. It was really not pleasant having to explain away an accident that should not have happened.... over and over again.

Eunuch Li narrowed his eyes back at the Emperor, "Then why are you risking the health of your mother over a petty grudge?"

So naturally, the sparks of unrest started to bubble up again with rising concern that the Emperor was getting distracted. And of course, Eunuch Li and both Commander An have been trying to stifle any unrest, even going as far as executing some who were especially fueling dissent. Of course, the Emperor was aware of all this but he had chosen not to bother Lei Xing with these concerns.

"... But of course, you have no need to worry about that if you are always happy together - which of course, you are now. But even now when things should be going very well here you are...seething on the inside. Why is that?" Monk Du thoughtfully asked and then instantly regretted it when he was suddenly faced with a cold piercing glare from above.

The Emperor was quiet for a bit and Eunuch Li worriedly looked at the Emperor, trying to send a message with his eyes but the Emperor was not looking his way, but to his relief, the Emperor went on to say, "... I can understand that they felt panicked in such situation and in their panic, they became reckless. Considering that they simply retrieved their person and sought to retreat, a pardon is possible."

Eunuch Li's frown deepened, he was going to argue and plead on the Empress dowager's behalf, but then Monk Du asked, "Aren't you curious as to why I came now, at this time?... It only took me a few days to reach my master... so naturally, it should have taken only a few days for me to return here. Yet it took me months..."

"Are you responsible for providing them with that magical seyu drug they used to use to poison my Empress?" The Emperor asked, slightly narrowing his eyes in irritation at the thought of the resulting trouble that drug had led to.

To the Emperor's delight, Lei Xing did not have much of a reaction to Prince Yi's sickening words. She simply cast him a nonchalant glance and then went back to scrutinizing the flowers.
