BXBX NOVEL Chapter 202: Night Talk
202 Night Talk
After appointing a few new ministers, Jun Zhenxian was included, the ceremony ended and they could return to their respective place. With Jun Qing was crowned as the new emperor, the news quickly spread to the other empire. This time, the people from Mountain Kingdom no longer hold the news back.
On the night of the ceremony, Jun Hua took a stroll in the garden. The whole process had caused her brain to overwork and she needed some rest. Taking a stroll in the garden was the perfect way to ease her messy mind.
When she was walking, a person came towards her with smile.
"Empress, shouldn\'t you sleep in your quarter…?"
Kuina grinned. "I sneaked out. Those maids are forcing me to wear new dress again. They are trying the new models, and I\'m tired, so I sneaked out."
Jun Hua mouth twitched. Can\'t you do something normally? Even if you don\'t like to wear it, you can directly tell the maids about it. You\'re the empress and you have full authority over them. This empress was truly a peculiar empress.
"You should have told them off."
"I have, but they are still waiting by the side. Staying inside and being watched by them are annoying. Now that I\'m the empress, the number of people following me and guarding me had increased."
Kuina truly doesn\'t like being confined. She was the kind of adventurous girl who loved freedom. Staying at the room and doing her job of looking through that pile of paper was terribly hard for her. It will be easier for her to sneak outside and play around.
Jun Hua can start to feel the pain of those officials. Now that she had become one of them, she would need the empress to look towards the war report and strategy that she made. This would truly make things more troublesome.
"When I\'m making war report, don\'t you have to look through it?" Jun Hua looked towards Kuina with inquiring eyes.
Kuina grinned. "You don\'t have to submit them to me. You\'re free to deploy them however you wish and all."
Jun Hua found it strange. Why would Kuina choose to believe her to that extent? They hadn\'t interacted that much and the time they spend together were really limited. With the power that Kuina granted to her, if she were to revolt, there would be nothing Kuina can do.
"You really trust me?"
"I can trust you, right?" Kuina smiled.
That was a question that Jun Hua cannot answer lightly. She didn\'t know whether she will stay here for the rest of her life, but she knew that she wanted to stay loyal. In here, she doesn\'t need to face that annoying emperor and his scheme that always tried to pull her down.
"Yes, you can."
Kuina smiled. She had the feeling that Jun Hua was not an ordinary girl and even if Jun Hua chose to put her family above the kingdom, she won\'t blame her. Kuina knew from Jun Qing that Jun Hua was not one to easily accept others because of her life.
"Right, about that person from other kingdom, if you have to face him, what are you going to do?"
Jun Hua was stumped by that question. That was a hard question for her to answer because she has someone she didn\'t want to hurt at all cost. But if they truly have to face off in a battle, she needed to fight her best.
"I will still fight," Jun Hua answered after a slight pause.
That was her resolution. Kuina smiled slightly, the decision was hard, but she cannot do anything to help the little girl in front of her.
"Let\'s just hope that it won\'t happen."
Jun Hua nodded. She hoped that it wouldn\'t happen because she treasures both her family and her friends. It won\'t be easy for her to make the decision to fight them because she knew very well that her heart couldn\'t bear with it.
"What are your plans for now?" Kuina changed the conversation.
Jun Hua looked towards the sky. "With the Jun family moved from the Ming Kingdom, war will start again. This time it will be fiercer than before."
"What should our response be?"
"Wait," Jun Hua answered.
Kuina nodded. She will do what the little girl said.
…
Outside Mountain Kingdom Capital
A certain man in the forest is running with all he got. He was one of the spies that Jun Hua let in and didn\'t kill during her sweeping time. He got a surprising news that the Jun family separated themselves from Ming Kingdom and Jun Qing had became the emperor. This news was really big.
He wanted to return as fast as possible to relay the message to his master. When this news finally spreads, war would surely follow.
Suddenly, he sensed danger. With a forceful movement, he changed his direction to the side and took out his dagger. The sound of metal clashing followed them.
The one who came, Yasha, had strike the other party and tackle him to the floor. The spy was taken by surprise at the power this man showed him. Before the other party can move, Yasha had put his dagger on his neck.
"Don\'t move."
"What do you want?" if Yasha wanted to kill him, he would have done it before, but it seemed that Yasha had other intention.
"Tell General Soujin that Jun Hua is the military strategist of Mountain Kingdom."
The spy eyes widened. What Yasha told him was another big news that should have been concealed. The news about Jun Hua hadn\'t come out since Jun Hua didn\'t allow it. Before the war started, she didn\'t want anyone to know that she was the military strategist. If they came to know about her power before the time came, they might made a plan to counter her. She didn\'t want that to happen.
On the other side, she wanted to tell Soujin about her. Since Soujin had planted some of his spies here, Jun Hua let them stay here. And this time, she specifically sent Yasha to tell the news to Soujin from his spy.
Yasha retracted his dagger and disappeared after saying that. The spy stayed rooted for a few seconds before running again. He needed to tell his master about what had happened here.
