How could he not tell the Empress had given up her life but what kind of sickness that attacked her over sudden, from the previous days' records, she was doing just fine.
"Eunuch, summon the Palace physician and they better co to the Empress chamber discreetly." He walked out of the ntal Cultivation Hall and ascended down to the Empress Manor.
The Empress had returned back to her chambers and laid down on the bed feeling cold and weak.
"My lady.. should I bring the dicine?" The palace maid inquired worriedly, her Mistress has been taking alot of dicines of late.
"No, I want to rest." She closed her eyes to sleep while the palace maid sat closerby checking on her now and then.
It hasn't taken long before the King walked in worriedly, the maid panicked a little but moved a side to let his Majesty attend to the Queen.
He at down beside the Queen and gently patted her shoulders, the Queen didn't open her eyes but she could feel his presence.
"I want to rest, please don't disturb ." Her voice was just normal, soft and llow but you could feel the exhaustion laced in between her words.
Her breathing was rugged and you could feel the hurriedness of her breath from exhaustion.
"Everyone is gossiping about you being sick, I ca here to check on you." He waited for the woman to get up and look at him but she never even turned nor opened her eyes.
Her back faced him as he waited.
"I'm not sick, they might have misread things." She lightly responded.
The Imperial Physicians walked in and stood near the Majesty.
"Long live your Majesty.." they bowed their heads and greeted him respectfully.
" I want you to check on her." He stood up and moved so distance to let the physicians do their work, he felt a little nervous of the findings.
He paced back and forth looking at the Empress, 'could the rumors be wrong?'
"My King, I don't feel anything wrong apart from her weak pulse and nothing else." The Physicians reported as they looked at the woman in bed after checking her pulse.
There was sothing else they were afraid of stating and that was that sotis the pulse would disappear almost unfelt.
"So is she sick or she is okay?" His voice turned cold, the Queen has always been very energetic, she can't start being weak all over sudden.
"That's what we found your Majesty.. she isn't sick but her body constitution is weak." They bowed their heads respectfully.
" All right, you can go now.." he dismissed them as he sat down and patted the Queen.
" How co your body constitution is weak? Have you been exhausting yourself lately?" He inquired worriedly.
" I already said that I'm tired and I want to rest." She hasn't opened her eyes even a minute since he walked into her chambers.
"All right." She was distancing herself from him, she didn't want to even have a talk.
He walked out of the chambers feeling down and frustrated, even though the physician didn't get anything clear, he still felt sothing a miss.
He got back into the ntal Cultivation Hall and sat down to go through the morials.
"Eunuch Li, I want you to demoted Concubine Shu to a Palace maid." He gave out those orders coldly, what he ever hated the most is when anyone tried to dean or hurt the Empress.
"Yes your Majesty." His voice shook a little, it was way too low to be demoted into a maid from such a status and after achieving her status and pampering from the King, everything is in vain.
When Concubine Shu heard that decree she slumped down onto the cold floor.
"No, he can't do this to !"
"No, I'm his favorite concubine even more that the Empress.."
" I have to see him!"
"I have to see him, how can he demote like this!"
She stood up and staggered towards the ntal Cultivation Hall to seek forgiveness from his Majesty, she couldn't survive if she were to be demoted to that low level.
She had created so many enemies and also had several fellow concubines who were envious and jealousy of her for getting the King to pamper her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive this lowly subject.."
She knelt down and kowtowed on the ground forcefully, her earlier demure and sophisticated woman was no more, she was disheveled and wore bland colored dress.
"Please your Majesty.. forgive .. I wasn't the one who started the rumours!" She begged for rcy.
" Please forgive your Majesty.."
"Guards, take her away and never allow her into the ntal Cultivation Hall.." he gave out that order, the guards moved forward and caught hold of Concubine Shu.
"Please your Majesty.. forgive ."
"I really didn't do anything.."
" Please forgive ! I didn't do anything.!"
Her voices faded away as the guards dragged her away by force.
He looked at the distant way she had been dragged to and shook his head lightly before going on with his scrolls.
In the Tuna village Camp, Zhou Hua walked down into the secret dungeons, that should be the place where Eagle must have imprisoned the ex president in.
Ex President had just opened his eyes and looking at his surroundings, it was a dark hidden place.
He froze as he looked around and saw there were only dungeons and the entire place enveloped in darkness.
His hands and legs were chained and no matter how he raised his hands, they were restrained.
Zhou Hua finally stood infront of him but there was steel bars in between them.
"Welco to your new ho Mr President.." Zhou Hua remarked sarcastically.
" Get out of here Zhou Hua, this is illegal." He shouted out maniacally.
" Oohh.. I don't rember since when the President has learnt that there are illegal activities being undertaken inside this Camp." He eyed him from head to toe.
This man was really stupid, he had a prosperous future as the President and a fulfilling life but he wasted all that by going against the mother and daughter.
"Get out of here.. this is illegal.." he scread out loudly hearing those sarcastic remarks.
"It's okay to shout as much as you want but one thing I have to remind you is that; this place is hidden and voices couldn't be heard by a person in dungeon cell room number one." He held the steel bars looking inside nacingly.
" What... What do you want to do with ?" His voice shook in panic feeling his penetrating threatening look.
