"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon! Don't punish me with that punishment! I beg you!" An Jia Li whined pleading with fear overtaking her, even her eyes immediately burst out. Even though he had died so that he was in his current life, but still accidental death and planned death were two different things to feel.
An Jia Li wonders whether the storyline in the novel will stay with what actually happened?, like a fate. No matter how hard you avoid it, you will still be on the path of your destiny.
In his previous life, Jiang Yi was a doctor who tried his best to save someone's life, but now he was asked to give the punishment of killing someone's life with just one word. This made Jiang Yi very shocked and couldn't take it for granted but he still had to think what he should do now? Becoming an emperor was a new thing for him.
At the same time – in the midst of Jiang Yi's dilemma, finally someone came to lighten the mood a little. At least it helped Jiang Yi to be able to come up with a decision that all the palace staff would now witness.
That person was Liu Qionglin, the butler who was called Miss Liu by all the maids, and called Liu's sister by Xiang Lian's character because of their close brother-like relationship. Therefore, Ms. Liu immediately took action without thinking to kneel down beside An Jia Li.
"Your Majesty, please forgive this little servant. The wrong servant couldn't properly discipline him as a royal servant. Please punish the servant!" Miss Liu said firmly. Her memory of when her mother did the same thing to him was now spinning full of memories. Her mother had defended him and taken her punishment for sneaking into the palace, and now he would do the same. Miss Liu will not hesitate to defend Xiang Lian, who she considers family and even her own sister.
Seeing Miss Liu's attitude, An Jia Li's fear faded so quickly that he denied it and went back to doing the same with the woman beside him who he also considered his first family in his new life.
"No Your Majesty!. It's my fault! Just punish me!, and please don't involve butler Liu!" said An Jia Li spontaneously. Honestly he was proud to do that because he dared to seek death when he was about to survive a little more because Miss Liu was trying to protect him, but on the other hand he also couldn't let Miss Liu take his place.
An Jia Li didn't want to see a scene like Miss Liu's mother defending Miss Liu. Her couldn't imagine the trauma he would get if her witnessed Ms. Liu being beheaded for it. The guilt will surely haunt him for the rest of his life.
Because of this, Jiang Yi was silent and thought hard about what he should do next?, everyone was waiting for his wise decision. In this era, there were only two kinds of punishments namely torture and death that Jiang Yi knew from the memories of the previous emperor. The choice of the two punishments was very unusual for Jiang Yi, so he was confused and had to think hard.
"You can't. Neither of them is good!" Jiang Yi thought.
"If there are only two… why don't I make another one? Light punishment…" Jiang Yi thought as if getting enlightened to have his own punishment.
Right. From now on, the role of the Feng emperor and all the fates of that character will begin to be changed by Jiang Yi the new Feng emperor.
"I will have mercy on you guys" Jiang Yi said confidently. Thinking about it, maybe fate really wanted to improve the role of Emperor Feng's role in this life by replacing him with Jiang Yi, so he didn't hesitate to make the next big change in the future if needed.
"Your head butler can go, and you… you go pick a basket full of tea in the jade lake" Jiang Yi continued referring to An Jia Li.
The concubine was obviously so shocked by Jiang Yi's decision that she couldn't wait to interrupt, "Your Majesty, why only that punishment? usually ... that... that ...." The concubine was at a loss for words as she spoke without thinking of a plan as usual.
Jiang Yi gave a smile, it seemed that he was starting to know what he should do especially the concubine who seemed to have a bad heart. Jiang Yi didn't even know how the previous emperor could have a snake concubine like this who had venomous words. "Surely the previous emperor ate the poison because it tastes sweet" Jiang Yi thought.
"I don't want a lot of blood to pollute my palace just because of a small, unintentional mistake," said Jiang Yi, who had a very great impression on everyone in the palace. In fact, all of them may now have to start calling their emperor the great angel emperor.
After that little incident, Jiang Yi decided to go to his room to rest his head which had been working full time in just a few hours.
As for An Jia Li he had also left to carry out his very light punishment, to the point that he still couldn't believe whether the one who gave the punishment was Demon Emperor Feng? An Ji Li still thought it was strange because Emperor Feng's behavior and demeanor seemed to be different from the novels.
"Why is emperor Feng suddenly so kind?. Was it because I changed the scene of the spilled tea?, but it couldn't possibly affect emperor Feng's supposed nature right?. Weird..."
An Jia Li walked towards her cubicle to get her clothes right first. Her intended to cut his clothes a little so that they could move easily so that such an incident would not happen again.
An Jia Li paused for a moment. Her no longer continued his footsteps as he recalled the scene from the novel.
Xiang Lian's character in the morning tea scene should have avoided the beheading, right? An Jia Li thought after thinking it over again. Her became so panicked. Her should have memorized a lot of scenes before acting.
An Jia Li sighed, "Huft. It's not like I'm the only one" thought An Jia Li who usually acts after thinking and planning before doing many things.
"But how can he avoid the punishment?, I don't remember..." An Jia Li thought curiously about how Xiang Lian's character escaped punishment, unfortunately An Jia Li didn't remember. But he didn't want to worry about it, her was still alive now. All her thought about was the nature of Emperor Feng that he still couldn't forget. Until her remembered a word from someone, namely Chunyin.
The slightest change you make will affect destiny which may still have a chance to be changed ... so move on. Silence won't solve anything. Even if the results are not suitable, at least you have struggled. Never regret the slightest struggle you do ...."
"Take a step and you will meet someone who will share the same destiny as you so that you will not face destiny alone…" continued An Jia Li. Instantly he remembered about Chunyin. Although their meeting was brief, An Jia Li had a special impression of Chunyin.
An Jia Li still doesn't realize that she loves Jiang Yi's husband's younger sister. even he also still doesn't remember that in his previous life he and Chunyin were lovers who loved each other but they had to be separated by death.
No one knows what destiny meant to make the two of them return to their old life now with Chunyin being the emperor of Li Xi while Jiang Yi her husband being the emperor of Feng. It seemed like fate was correcting a mistake he had made.
"What made Xiang Lian's character die?" muttered An Jia Li who was actually asking the cause of her own death. Unfortunately, An Jia Li still hasn't reached the chapter where Xiang Lian's character died, causing her lover to also commit suicide because of it.
"You stupid child!" snapped someone whose voice An Jia Li was very familiar with now. It was Miss Liu who patted An Jia Li on the head.
"What else did you do just now?. Just a little wrong we both may have no head!. Fortunately, Venerable Feng's feelings are good, so he eased our sentence" continued Miss Liu who didn't really scold An Jia Li actually. Actually her was only annoyed by the concubine's behavior like the official consort of the emperor, but still her couldn't do anything about the snake concubine.
"I-I'm sorry. I-I promise I won't do something like that again!"
Miss Liu sighed, "huh ... want you to promise a thousand times you will still repeat your recklessness" said Miss Liu then muttered, "plus that venomous concubine. all servants can die because of it"
"You're right Miss Liu!. It should be that unlucky concubine-"
"Stop talking and quickly carry out your punishment! I don't want to receive a late report or I'll add punishment for you!" cut off Miss Liu so that An Jia Li would stop being bullied like her.
"Ah!. Fine!. Fine!. No more punishment!" said An Jia Li immediately walked away because he did not want to get additional punishment that might be heavier than the punishment given by the emperor.
As soon as her was halfway there, An Jia Li finally arrived at the jade lake where his feet somehow stepped as if he already knew the place without himself having to ask where the jade lake was. Of course this is not what An Jia Li realized if her real body still remembers all the places that have a lot of memories.
Yes, the jade lake is the one place that should have many memories. Together with someone. But An Jia Li who currently only knows that because of the clues of her memory reading the novel. He remembered the scene where he was about to meet someone at the jade lake.
"Who am I going to meet?" asked An Jia Li himself. Again her did not remember the continuation of the cut in the scene.
