Chapter 33

 I took the pin, and my heart felt a bit awkward.

But looking at Wu Min Jun, he did not seem aware and continued to pick through the pins - even if we have no more money.

Unknowingly we played until it was dark, then Wu Min Jun and I returned to the palace, but as soon as we returned, someone asked to see me, giving me a scare, it was actually the TaiFu.

And it seemed like the TaiFu has been here waiting for a long time, I was afraid that he already figured out that I went out with Wu Min Jun.

Sure enough, as soon as I went into the royal study, TaiFu asked directly: "Emperor, were you out of the palace all along with...the Empress?"

I pretended that it was nothing and said: "We wanted to see the lives of the people..." I thought about it, I simply used  Wu Min Jun's explanation: "Once the war with Beiyuan starts there will be no time to go out."

TaiFu smiled: "I am afraid that this war can't be done."

I suspect: "What do you mean?"

TaiFu said: "The Bei Emperor died this morning, hehe."

What?! The Bei Emperor died?!

I was confused.

I said, "What happened to the Bei Emperor?"

TaiFu said: "The Bei Emperor has been weak lately. According to the spies, he suddenly woke up this morning, announced the second prince, Wu Xu as the Crown prince, and then - just fell straight from the dragon chair."

I listened quietly, and couldn't help but say: "TaiFu, your eloquence is very good."

TaiFu: "..."

"I thank the Emperor for the praise, but now this ... ah, that's not the point." TaiFu's mouth slightly twitched.

I quickly said: "Hey, feel at ease, talk freely."

TaiFu suddenly smiled and said: "Now the Bei Emperor has died, the second prince Wu Xu, and the first prince, Wu Zheng are fighting for the throne, the third prince, Wu Hao ... right, but the third prince, Wu Hao has made no movement?"

Because he is in our cold palace...

I was sweating and said with a strong smile: "I don't know, maybe he is planning something big... probably keeping a low profile."

TaiFu nodded and didn't think much more: "But actually we can take the opportunity to attack Bei country."

I thought that this matter must be decided by Wu Min Jun, so I persuaded: "Well, I think so too... I am a little tired today, we will discuss tomorrow after more thought."

"Yes." TaiFu respectfully bowed and left, I slowly returned to the Emperor's palace, Wu Min Jun had taken a bath and was sitting on the bed flipping over a book, seeing me back, he said: "What did the TaiFu want?"

I said: "That, the Bei Emperor is dead."

Wu Min Jun: "..."

After a while, Wu Min Jun laughed: "Heaven is helping me too!"

I also thought it was incredible, the Bei emperor has been planning for so long, and the result was the first step is death, it seems people cannot calculate beyond their fate...

Wu Min Jun laughed, and slowly said: "This is done, you can go release Wu Hao."

I just remembered Wu Hao and said: "I know what Situ meant!"

Wu Min Jun gave me a questioning look.

I said: "She said that someone is going to die, it will lead to the two countries not being able to fight - that person is the Bei Emperor!...and when we first met Situ, you still remember, I told her that my name is Tian Wei! Tian Wei is also Wu Hao. Her prediction must have been based on my name. That is to say, when the Bei Emperor dies, the war will not begin, and Tian Wei which is Wu Hao will cry till his eyes are swollen!"

I was excited, there was no danger to Wu Min Jun.

"You just thought of it."

I:"..."

This person, can't you pretend?...

I sat next to him, a little hesitant to say: "But, releasing Wu Hao, how do I tell him that his father has died?"

Wu Min Jun was confused: "His father was not killed by me. Is there anything to say? Just tell him directly."

I said: "According to Wu Hao's character, what should I do when he cries?"

Wu Min Jun: "I don't know, you are going to say it anyway."

Me: "...I am not good at this, you should be better."

Wu Min Jun said: "Oh, forget it, too lazy to bother, I'll just kill Wu Hao."

I:"..."

In the end, I went to the cold palace alone.

***

When I arrived at the palace, the feeling here was very cold. In this huge palace, except for the two guards at the door, almost no others ever came here. When I went in,  I ran into two maids who brought his dinner, when they saw me, they had on a pair of ghost expressions, I pretended to not see and went in.

In one of the rooms, I found Wu Hao, falling softly and weakly on the bed, staring at the bed, his eyes looked demented.

Seeing him like this, I really couldn't bear it - thinking about it too. At First, he was trapped in the secret room where it was constantly dark. Now he was trapped in the cold palace, where there was almost no one. Even if it was me, I would find it to be very painful.

I tried to speak: "Cough... Wu Hao?"

Wu Hao heard my voice, looked up alertly, and then covered his chest with both hands: "You don't come over! I won't give in!"

I:"..."

**(LOL this guy! Whenever I start to feel bad for him, he does something hilariously stupid...can't blame him though...Empress is mean to him, but Emperor is kind...)**

Obviously, Wu Min Jun was mean to him, I am better to him yet he was still guarding against me like this... maybe Wu Min Jun's face was really too murderous... Or, maybe Wu Hao seems to be into being treated ruthlessly?

(Wu Min Jun:...)

I quickly said: "You can relax, I... I won't do anything to you. I just came to tell you, you can leave."

Wu Hao looked up with amazement and looked at me: "Really? No conditions?"

I nodded. "Well, no, you can go. But be careful, don't let the TaiFu discover you."

Wu Hao looked at me, then stood up in an instant, and began to pack up his things. I looked at him and didn't know how to mention his father's death.

He packed up, I gave him an eunuch's uniform to wear. Wu Hao was very reluctant at first, but I said otherwise that he would have to wear a palace maid's, Wu Hao chose to wear the eunuch's outfit.

The two maids were cleaning up the dishes. I thought about it, ignored them, and went out with Wu Hao - wearing the eunuch's uniform. The two guards were very strange from beginning to end, probably wondering why the Emperor would raise the prince of an enemy country so sneakily in the cold palace... And, when he first arrived here, he was actually brought in by the Emperor and the Empress.

Wu Hao and I went out of the cold palace, and brightly and honestly walked on the road. Wu Hao had a guilty conscience and was fidgeting. I got upset and told him: "You are now an eunuch around me, it is hard to find someone who will come to check you?"

Wu Hao lowered the cap on the top of his head a little: "Oh..."

Some palace ladies came over, and Wu Hao subconsciously went to hide.

I: "..."

Sigh, I followed behind him.

So the two of us hid at the side of the wall, listening to the whispers of the two palace ladies: "But it's funny, the Bei emperor is now dead so..."

"Yeah, everyone was a little worried..."

I felt awkward in my heart, I realized it was not good, and sure enough, when I turned my head, I saw Wu Hao staring at me: "They... What did they just say?"

"..." How could I repeat it again?!

I swallowed and said, "Nothing... you got it wrong. I heard them say that the weather is very good today..."

Wu Hao: "..."

Wu Hao collapsed and shouted: "You are lying to me! How could it be?! I heard them... They said that the Bei Emperor... How could this be?!"

I tried to comfort him: "Don't get agitated, Bei Di is actually a doctor in our palace, already ninety-eight..."

**("Di" is another way of saying emperor/ruler...so she's saying Bei Di is someone's name)**

Wu Hao became even more distraught: "How come someone is called that?! How is it possible?!"

Suddenly someone coolly said: "Yes, that is a good point..."

I was shocked when I saw that it was Wu Min Jun, I didn't know when he arrived. He was lazily leaning against the wall.

I had no words: "How come you-... don't mess around!"

Wu Min Jun was dissatisfied: "How did I mess around?... Wu Hao, don't get agitated, rest assured, the Bei Emperor really did not die."

Inexplicably, Wu Hao calmed down and stared at Wu Min Jun: "Really?"

I... I was angry... I just comforted him so much, yet he didn't believe me.

Wu Hao: "That... they just said..."

Wu Min Jun: "Oh, those ladies do not understand the rules, it should be said that the Bei Emperor is paralyzed."

Mirai's Comment: LOL it seems Wu Hao really may really have a thing for a dominatrix...or he is really opposed to the Emperor LOL
