Power Of The Empress

"I'll never ever stop worrying about you, I repeat "ever" stop worrying about you as long as I live; exclaimed the Emperor with loving eyes. I felt my heart skip a beat as to what he said.

"I know Quan Lun; I said lovingly. The imperial doctor examined me and said that I was fine and healthy.

"The Next Day"

"Your Grace, your Grace wake up; exclaimed Zao as I yawned and stretched cursing why I had to wake up soo early.

"Alright, alright! I'm awake; I said as I sat and went to have my bath. After the bath, Zao helped me in getting dressed.

"Zao! have the Emperor returned yet; I asked.

"No! your Grace but it's said that he will be returning this afternoon; exclaimed Zao.

"This afternoon ehh.

Yes.

"I can't wait for his return; I said with a bright smile.

"Your Grace, you have a meeting with the cocoubine's this morning; said Zao.

" Oh really?! I asked with a disappointed look.

"Yes your Grace; answered Zao.

"Zao! tell me, does the Emperess have authority, whether to change or sack Cocoubine's.

"Your Grace, you were never allowed such power to do that before. All the decisions were made by the Emperess Dowager or the Emperor; Zao answered.

Oh really?!

Yes your Grace, why is anything the matter?!; asked Zao.

No! it's nothing; I said as I sneered.

"Let's go Zao; I exclaimed as I stood to leave but my door was suddenly kicked open again. I stood there as San Yao slowly walked in with a smirk on her face.

"Lin Juluu!; she exclaimed. You know we were have a meeting but you kept us waiting again!; she exclaimed as I ignored her and walked right pass her.

"How dare you ignore me!!; she said furiously as she held my hand back, immediately I slapped her and she stambled backwards and fell.

"You!..you!... How dare you slap me?!; she questioned me in anger.

"Oh?! slapped you, that wasn't even classified to be called a slap and how you speak to me this way, I'm your Emperess and you're cocoubine know your place; I said as cold and threatening era filled the atmosphere.

"Guards?!; I called out as five men came rushing in.

"I think San Yao here has forgotten her place as a cocoubine, give her 50 lashes to make her remember; I said sternly.

"What?!!! you can't do this, you're in no position to punish me; exclaimed San Yao arrogantly.

"Take her away; I ordered and watched as she was dragged away.

"Wow🤩 your Grace, you are soo cool; said Zao flatteringly.

It's nothing come on let's go; I exclaimed as we headed straight to the meeting.

"Here comes the Emperess; I exclaimed on guard as they all stood up to greet me.

"You may sit!; I ordered as I sat down. Before we begin, I have announcement to make. From hence forth, Imperial cocoubine San Yao has been relieved of her duties and be demoted to being just a cocoubine like the rest of you all; I exclaimed as the room suddenly became full of whispers and murmurs.

" But Lin.. I mean your Grace, who will then be the imperial cocoubine; one exclaimed.

"Hump... isn't it obvious. Us Cocoubine's are ranked and apparently if San Yao who had the highest Mark is now demoted, then the next tio be the imperial cocoubine is me; exclaimed cocoubine Jia Meng arrogantly.

*whispers*

Or tell me, am l wrong your Grace.

" Certainly, is as you just said the cocoubine with the highest Mark is declared as the imperial cocoubine which mean above/leader of all Cocoubine's; I exclaimed sarcastically.

"HA!!! it looks like I'm right, I will be the next imperial....

"But!; I exclaimed interrupting her. So far with what I've withnessed so far, the imperial cocoubine from now on is Jing Feng!.

"Me?!; exclaimed Jing Feng in shock.

"What?!! how could that wretched lowlife out rank me!, ME!!!; exclaimed Jia Meng furiously.

"Jia Meng you are in the presence of the Emperess and the Imperial cocoubine and you dare to insult her in public; I exclaimed furiously.

"What?! I didn't mean to, I was .....

"Guards!!; I called out as the rushed in. Give cocoubine Jia Meng 80 strokes of lashes and lock her up in the dungeon with no food or water for a week!!!; I exclaimed.

"What?!! please forgive me your please; exclaimed Jia Meng as she was dragged away.

And that serves as a warning to all of you here, if anyone dares to disrespect me or imperial cocoubine Jing Feng I won't go easy on them, UNDERSTOOD!!!; I exclaimed furiously.

"Yes your Grace; exclaimed everyone present.

"Good, now where were we?!; I asked as someone immediately barged in.

"Your Grace!!, the Emperor has returned.

"What?! Really?!; I asked full of excitement as I left the meeting and rushed over only to see cocoubine San Yao kneeling before the Emperor crying pretentiously.

"Your majesty, welcome back; I greeted bowing my head completely ignoring her.

"You don't need to bow before me Lin Juluu; said the Emperor in a sweet tone as he walked away from San Yao and held me in a tight hug.

"Did you miss me; asked the Emperor as I blushed not knowing why.

"Yer...yr..yes; I answered in a low voice

"Can't hear you; he asked teasingly.

"Your Emperor, it's not good to bully me public; I exclaimed has he laughed out loud. What so funny?! ; I asked furiously.

"It's nothing, don't be mad at me okay!! but to admit you're really cute when you get mad; he said as I suddenly blushed.

"Your majesty, won't you do justice for me. I was unfairly beaten by her Grace; exclaimed San Yao as she cried pretentiously.

"How dare you interrupt the conversation between me and the Emperess; asked the Emperor furiously.

"Your.... your majesty, I... I didn't mean to, I just wanted you to do justice for me; exclaimed San Yao.

"Oh?! and how many strokes did you receive?!; asked the Emperor.

"80 your majesty, her Grace ordered them for me to be stroked 80 times; exclaimed San Yao.

"San Yao, you disobeyed me and tried to disrespect me as well, for that I ordered for you to be given 50 lashes; I exclaimed and if you didn't know, you are no longer the imperial cocoubine that title has been given to someone worth deserving and that person is Jing Feng.

"What?!!, how dare you do that. You have no authority to do that!!; exclaimed San Yao furiously.

"It's looks like you haven't had enough; exclaimed the Emperor furiously. Guards!! send her away and give her 180 strokes just as she wanted and bare in mind that Emperess also has the same power as I do!!.
