Chapter 13

 I stood still on the ground, I couldn't clearly tell what kind of feeling I had in my heart, only said: "Wu Min Jun, you this person is really..."

How was this for real? I didn't know what to say.

He instructed me to summon Sheng An back, treated her properly, because I was the one who started the conversation: "Do you know, she is dressed just in plain clothes, her ear is only decorated with white-colored flower bud...." He made me change it into blossomed flower, and actually because of that, we got an answer from Sheng An, the terrible information.

Wu Min Jun understood women more than women themselves. I really don't understand how he was born with such exquisite intelligence and twisted mind.

Wu Min Jun looked at me. "What?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing, only I feel Sheng An is really pitiful."

"Just because people deceived her to think she can have you." His lips twitched. "You still can say such nonsense."

I let out a sigh. "Precisely because of that is why I think she was so pitiful. To be cheated like that was not an honorable thing."

"Hey, how did you know that Sheng An will tell you that?"

"It was obvious since they wanted to assassinate me, it was impossible for them to do the impossible task only once. But I couldn't predict the precise time, that's why I coaxed the words out from Sheng An." He said lightly.

I shook my head: "Smart like a demon. Wu Min Jun, I'm afraid that you will not live for long due to the jealousy from others because of your outstanding ability."

With hidden understanding, Wu Min Jun said: "Rest assured, as my empress, you will be buried with me."

I glanced at him and said: "What are we going to do about this? Letting her go like that to Nan Wen country? What about the people in her clan?"

Wu Min Jun said: "Kill them."

I was perplexed: "Ah? Didn't you say, as an emperor, you cannot let out the image of a tyrant and arbitrarily kill people?"

Wu Min Jun faintly smiled: "Who said that I am murderous? Princess Sheng An didn't only tell us, but also left the evidence."

I hesitantly asked: "Those three words?"

Wu Min Jun smiled and nodded his head. He drew out that paper that had three words 'Yuan Jun An'. "It is a copy from Yi Wang Family. Regardless of old and young, or their gender, they are all to be punished."

"....." I stared blankly at Wu Min Jun for short while before shaking my head. "I'm not making that kind of order."

Wu Min Jun coldly said: "What's wrong again?" 

I said: "You just deceived the Princess, now you want to kill her whole family as precaution..."

"At the moment we need to take precautions first since it would be difficult to predict what will happen in the future. Princess Chang Yi, don't involve me with your pure-hearted sentiments." Wu Min Jun came closer to me, "From the beginning, I always thought that sometimes you are quite stupid, but you should still be able to see the big picture. At this time, don't recklessly sympathize with others. Benevolence towards the enemy is equivalent to balancing one's life on a knife's edge. You dare to gamble with your life, but I do not."

"..."

I became inexplicably angry yet I could not refute it. It was difficult to express the sentiment of seeing one's own face mismatched with an indifferent and cruel expression.

Although I could not refute him, I refused to speak and used my silence to protest—anyway at the moment I am the Emperor and he cannot do much.

Wu Min Jun glared at me for a long time before sighing and said: "Fine, fine, you don't want to kill, then don't kill... I will write a secret letter to King Xiu Yi's household notifying that their plans are known to me, but I will not retaliate provided they behave. If there is a next time, death will be unavoidable. Princess Sheng An remains unharmed but has been sent to Northern Chang country. If they still want the wealth of King Xiu Yi, then they should quickly follow her there."

I immediately agreed and felt sincerely happy with this change in Wu Min Jun. Wu Min jun just coldly smiled: "It's only because our bodies switched..."

I inwardly shivered.

Within the imperial palace, the night passed peacefully. The next day, news arrived of the King Xiu Yi household's demotion and voluntary relocation to Northern Chang country. I let out a sigh of relief while Wu Min Jun looked extremely unhappy. Just that, he only showed his unhappiness when he was together with me.

After seven days of the mourning period, he and I rushed to East Yuan Country. During this time, I prepared a letter using my identity as Princess Chang Yi. I briefly explained what occurred between us. What I wrote was totally different from what we explained to Grand Adviser.

I wrote that I went to assassinate him, both of us two pairs of eyes fighting each other in the obscure of candle light, he had a jade-like face and I was captivated by it. The two people were unmarried and suddenly fell in love with each other at this historic moment. He threw aside his sword and waited for death, but I could not strike him. In the tranquillity of night, we refused to move. Finally, he decided he would rather have the beauty than the country.

I set aside the enmity between our families and our states. We planned to live in seclusion but happened to encounter the affairs of Northern Chang country. Thus, we decided to be together in an open and honorable manner. Henceforth, we will marry and treated one another with respect and the courtesy due between husband and wife.

At the end of letter, I added: Although Chang Yi's disobeyed her mission she also did not abandon the mission.

After reading the whole letter Wu Min Jun laughed so hard till he could not get up from the bed. He also said that even if my country was vanquished in the future, I could still make a living by writing a fictional book. Then he used a vermilion colored brush to circle the phrases "beauty that captivates even the birds and beasts" and "beauty" in "desire the beauty, discard the country", which describes my beauty. I felt resentful about this. In the end, I re-wrote the letter and sent it.

Although the people I sent to deliver the letter practically will not have time to rest in order to deliver the letter, still it will take a while. Anyway, Wu Min Jun and I did not expect any reply. I could imagine how Imperial Brother and Empress Dowager would react to the news. Well, I've decided not to care about what they think.

East Yuan country and West Yang country are not far apart. However, Wu Min Jun and I must travel in accordance with our official status. An enormous line of servants and betrothal gifts followed us. I sat in my sedan chair and occasionally looked back. I could only clearly see the people who were nearby. Further away, I could only see a massive amount of dust flying about.

Of course, along the way, we encountered no shortage of assassination attempts.

However, there were too many guards. Wu Min Jun and I basically never saw the assassins because they died too quickly. All of the assassins were targeting Wu Min Jun, this violent despot of an Emperor, who also happened to be me right now. I also wanted to give it a try and have a good fight, but unfortunately, there were no more opportunities. Really, what a pity.

Wu Min Jun and I finally arrived at East Yuan country travel-worn, in the East Yuan country's border, I saw many red gold patterned palanquins, bolts of cloth, head ornaments, everything one could desire. Unexpectedly Imperial Brother was also there to receive us personally. Originally, Wu Min Jun wanted to put on airs but later he recalled that currently, he was using my body, so without choice, he resentfully got off the palanquin and joined the emperor and me as we were pretending to have a friendly conversation.

Afterwards, we entered the East Yuan Imperial Palace. I only went away for one month but now that I've returned, it seemed like another lifetime ago.

--Only, what happened was real.

When the East Yuan country's people saw me, they looked apprehensive and disgusted, on the contrary, they were extremely friendly to Wu Min Jun. Still, they looked at him with a bit of sympathy as if to say "For the country, you had to marry to this scum. You've suffered". This made me really want to go scream to heaven and spit up blood.

Unfortunately, Wu Min Jun was not aware of what was good and bad for him. He was constantly complaining to me in private: "What's the matter with these East Yuan country's people? What's with them looking at me with those expressions?"

I was too lazy to explain it to him...

The two of us went to the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace already arranged a banquet and were only waiting for us to arrive there. Imperial brother and I sat together on the head seat. Wu Min Jun sat on the lower throne next to me and Empress Dowager sat on the lower throwe next to Imperial Brother. Wu Min Jun and Empress Dowager faced each other. Many high-ranking officials sat further down the table.

No one dared to make a sound, those cowards. Really cowards.

Everyone kept sneaking a peek at me, the tyrant. As soon as I caught them looking, they quickly bowed their head looking submissive, and focused on their food. I looked at the Empress Dowager who was watching Wu Min Jun with a complex expression, there was some expression of pity that I had never seen before and Wu Min Jun was totally ignoring it. He engrossed himself in consuming a massive amount of rare delicacies from East Yuan country looking like a starving ghost reincarnation and making Princess Chang Yi lose some face...

**(T/N: he made her lose face because he's the one using her body)**

Looking at her this way, Empress Dowager did not only not blame her but also sighed slightly and shook her head, as if saying "Poor child, she can only eat to vent her anger..." or also maybe, "Hey, is it possible that the West Yang country did not provide her food?"

I became silent for a long time and in the end, consumed the dishes to vent my anger...

The banquet lasted for a long time like this. During this time, we were continuously talking with courtesy. Everyone's attitude was excessively fawning that I could not bear to watch my own relatives' shameful behavior like this, hence I said that I was tired and was planning to go back.

Wu Min Jun pouted his mouth and said in a small voice: "I haven't eaten enough..."

In recent days, there was always a large amount of food for Wu Min Jun. I felt that my body would get fat at this rate... habitually I glared and scolded him: "Eat? What eat? We're leaving!"

As a result, this natural scene was taken in by the eyes of numerous officials. Each and every one of them showed grieving and lamenting expressions, probably thinking that I, Princess Chang Yi was always abused...

I became speechless and said slowly: "Jiao'er, let's go back first... Aren't you tired?"

**(T\N: Jiao'er is Princess Chang Yi birth name. Changyi is her title name)**

Wu Min Jun who was right in the middle of drinking soup heard what I said and almost immediately spat out the soup, extremely vulgar. Everyone's complexion darkened. However, Wu Min Jun wiped his mouth and calmly said: "Alright, let's go back..."

He was obviously trying to stifle his laughter and ended up making ambiguous sounds that resembled crying. Everyone that was watching was shocked, probably thinking that we were putting on an act, and so pitied Wu Min Jun who was currently Princess Chang Yi. The party, me, that had actually been wronged was also about to start crying.

I lowered my voice: "Get your butt out of here right now..."

Afterwards, the two of us finally returned to our room that had already been prepared. Only then did I remember—Just a moment ago there was someone that kept staring at me and Wu Min Jun. That person used to be one of my former Master's disciples, called Yuan Yu.

He practiced martial arts together with me from childhood. He was an Imperial Guard now. His relationship with me was okay, so, it didn't matter that he was watching Princess Chang Yi attentively, but just a moment ago for some unknown reason, he was continuously looking at me, that is currently in Wu Min Jun's body with a murderous gaze...
