Empress with No Virtue – Chapter 56 Part 1

Double Update today, please read chapter 55 first~~~ XD

Ye Zhen Zhen was sitting on the observation deck, yawning.

Today, she went to Guang Ning City to play, on the streets she actually met Li You, both of them chatted for a bit, and when for a meal together. After that, she heard Li You wanted to go watch something call “Flower Rating Show” so she also tagged along, but who knew this flower rating show was actually a talent show at the brothel.

Even if Ye Zhen Zhen was a guy, and really wanted to experience dances and music talent by the ladies, the ones in front of her now are not even worth watching for her.

After observing her reactions, Li You smiled “I thought Brother Zhen knew what the flower rating show is all about, that is why you followed me, so I brought you along. Seems like me bringing you to this type of places is my mistake”

Ye Zhen Zhen waved him of, “I do not blame you, I myself did not ask properly”

“This time, I am not sure how Brother Wu will punish me”

Ye Zhen Zhen heard the problem from the statement, “This time? Don’t tell me it was when we were strolling previously?”

Li You showed contemplation, on whether to tell or not.

Seeing him being troubled, Ye Zhen Zhen added “What did he actually do?”

Li You answered ‘Brother Zhen, tell me honestly, do you know that Brother Wu have sent someone to observe me all this time?”

Ye Zhen Zhen was stunned “Why is he observing you?”

Li You shook his head, “That, I don’t know. Initially I thought you were involved as well, it really made me sad, but it seems like even you are not aware of it”

Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly remembered the 4 secret guards Ji Wu Jiu threw away, the answers seems to be clear now. Ji Wu Jiu was a person that was very cautious, this time who knew why he is aware of Li you, but no matter if it was real or not, it was not appropriate for her to be involved. If Li You was really innocent, and Ji Wu Jiu could not find anything, then he will stop the investigation, there was no need for her to know about it as well. Furthermore, a married couple is of one body, although Ji Wu Jiu did not inform her about this, in the end Li You is still an outsider, why would she be angry at Ji Wu Jiu for an outsider. Recently, Ji Wu Jiu is not as hateful as last time, he is more and more pleasant in her eyes, she also wants to be in good terms with him, and does not want anyone to mess it up.

Therefore Ye Zhen Zhen changed the topic, “Brother Li, the ladies on the stage are all pretty, which one do you prefer?”

Li You understood that she does not want to be involved in this matter, in his heart, his guess about this two persons identity is getting clearer. He laughed shyly and answered “Brother Zhen, please let me off, I came here to please my eyes only”

“Actually I have a question that I don’t understand, why does men like to come to this type of places? Isn’t it dirty?”

Li You lowered his voice and smiled “You are not men, of course you wouldn’t know a men’s thinking. Brothels have their own attraction point, I heard” he lowered his voice further “our current emperor, also likes to go to this type of places”

Closing her eyes, Ye Zhen Zhen’s expression turned cold and asked “Who did you hear it from?”

“A minister from the capital, when he went to the brothel, he actually saw the emperor there”

Ye Zhen Zhen’s heart felt heavy, and she stopped talking. Li You took a peek at her expression and in his heart, Indeed!

A while later, Li You noticed that Ye Zhen Zhen was slowly turning into an oven that was being filled up with charcoal, so he decided to bring her out. But suddenly, outside barged in a group of people, their actions was very fast, Li You just only stood up, when his neck was held by a few swords.

Without a change of expression, Li You looked at Ji Wu Jiu and smiled “Long time no see, Brother Wu”

Ji Wu Jiu expression was as though as he was going to eat someone. His left hand was blocking Ye Zhen Zhen, and she was also not giving off any good expression, as though as there was nothing wrong with a woman visiting a brothel.

The other customers nearby has never seen anyone seek for revenge in such a opened way, and was scared into a ball. A few servers were carrying wooden sticks heading towards here to stop them, but was stopped by the secret guards and was kicked far away by them.

The atmosphere was rigid for a while, then Ye Zhen Zhen stood up, walked in front of Ji Wu Jiu, “You really want to murder someone here?”

Ji Wu Jiu did not bother about the people there, and pulled Ye Zhen Zhen out of the brothel, all the way not speaking a single word, and his chest was heaving up and down quickly due to the anger.

Not long after walking out of the brothel, to a quieter place, Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly pushed his hands away, and slowly massaged her hands that was starting to feel pain.

“Ye Zhen Zhen!” Ji Wu Jiu called out

“What’s up?”

“Do you know where you went just now?”

“I know, how could I not know” Ye Zhen Zhen remembered Li You’s words, and her heart somehow felt angered.

“You…!” Ji Wu Jiu no longer knows what to do, “You are the empress, how can you go to that type of place!”

Ye Zhen Zhen scoffed, “If the emperor can go, why can’t the empress go?”

This sentence was as though as a lightning striked on him, Ji Wu Jiu paled.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Zhen Zhen confirmed what Li You said, so she kept quiet and continue to laugh coldly.

Her expression of disgust was too obvious on her face, it made Ji Wu Jiu’s eyes pained, his heart pained as well.

He finally understood, his sacrifice, in her eyes was something so light, with such a small misunderstanding, was enough to break the trust between them. It was not that she was not able to see his feelings, but she has never trusted him from the start!. All his gentleness, his efforts, was all for nothing, she has always place herself away from him, looking at him as though it does not involve her, not to mention feelings, even a little trust was not given to him.

JI Wu Jiu’s heart got colder the more he thought about it. Now he is not only angry, he is also disappointed, as well as sad, resigned and wronged… the mixture of emotions he felt are being rushed to his brain like a flow of river, he felt that the blood vessels in his brain was twitching non stop, his chest also felt like it was blasted apart.

Holding his chest, he backtracked a few  steps, his eyes was turning red, looking at Ye Zhen Zhen, with a shaky voice “Ye Zhen Zhen, you have no heart”

Ye Zhen Zhen saw his hurt expression, and felt her heart shook, “I…..”

Ji Wu Jiu took a few steps back, turned away from her and left. Although his back figure was still straight but his steps were very light.

After passing two streets, Ji Wu Jiu suddenly stopped “Come out”

Someone appeared out of nowhere and stood infront of him, holding his hands he called “Gentleman”

“Don’t kill Li You first, continue observing him. Bring another two person and go back to the capital to investigate about him, if he has any relation with Cui Fang Lou, especially with that Liu Yue”

“Gentleman” that person was contemplating, “If so, then by your side there will only be left with 3 person”

“You don’t have to worry, 3 person is enough to take care of my life”

“Understood”

Ji Wu Jiu closed his eyes dangerously, the sound of his teeth clenching can be clearly heard by the people nearby. Daring to act cunning in front of me, you really don’t want to live anymore!

Returning to the army camp, Ji Wu Jiu’s anger has still not been dissipated, Ye Zhen Zhen also felt very annoyed, although the both of them did not meet up after returning to the camp, but both of them decided to use the same method to feel better.

That night, Ye Lei Ting appointed 15 thousand soldiers, to face the enemy at the frontlines, and another three thousand to follow Lu Li to attack, and another two thousand to help set up the mine traps.

This group of people will be rushing out to the battle in the night, in order to meet up with A Ke Dun’s army. Ji Wu Jiu changed his appearance and quietly joined the first battalion, but the moment he joined there, he saw someone familiar there as well.

  1. Thank you LamLam for the double postings. It was a good surprise.

    So both the emperor and empress decided to go to war together. I hope through this life and death situation that YZZ sees the goodness and that JWJ loves her very much that she will soften her heart towards him. Or am I too eager for them to get together too soon??!!

  5. I honestly don’t want Zhen Zhen to fall for JWJ. I know, I know. I kind of feel bad for saying this, but this is not the right time for her fall for anyone. I prefer the Zhen Zhen now tbh.

    1. I agree with you 100%! Like duhhh!!! I understand his frustrations and hurt, but YZZ’s mistrust of him is not without reason. He dotes on her now and maybe it was on a different level from his other women but still, in YZZ point of view(not us readers where we know he can really be honest with his feelings but for YZZ, she can never really be assured), women is not much of importance to the emperor, he can choose to toss them away once he’s done, bored, of no use, or done something that could threaten the country/his position. He may find her interesting now but who can guarantee that he will not be like that towards a new woman in the future. It’s not like he will allowed YZZ to divorce him once he swayed later on. He can only add another women and then when he realize he was wrong again, she is still his wife, what a scum! Besides, what if a situation where he will be pressured to ‘favor’ another woman in the future because it would affect the country. Duhhh!!! Women in that ancient era were seen as that.(Watsghfsjajcv!!!thats infuriating though) So I don’t really want YZZ to fall inlove with him right now. or maybe not if this is real life. but since it is a novel then let him work hard to earn the trust first. Its not enough, its not like he’s the only one suffering so I won’t pity him.

      Am I heartless??? hehe..

  6. Just who is LY? He keeps on popping every now and then I’m afraid he will try to break up the relationship of JWJ and YZZ. I think YZZ was so jealous after knowing JWJ visited the brothel hence the intent to hurt him…and JWJ feeling wronged because he went to the brothel because of YZZ is just normal but painful to bear….I hope these two will make up fast so they can go back to being lovey dovey again….they’ll make up in the battlefield? When one of them is hurt?…I hope nothing untoward happens to any of the two….thanks, lamlam….more, more, please….LOL…
