53When Kana get out of the Imperial Chamber and parted ways with the Emperor, he asked Sheen to bribe some servants to start some rumors about what happened last night, and then he ordered V to bribe some guards as well who will act as witnesses that Consort Han indeed wrecked havoc last night.After that Kana peacefully stride to his own courtyard and talk to his mother for a while."I can see that you're truly happy Kana'er." Madame Yoon smiled warmly."I am really happy mother, hence I will trouble you for a bit, whatever you will hear when you go back to Han manor.. Please don't pay attention."Madame Yoon nodded, "Yes, your grace."They chatted for a while before Madame Yoon left, and Kana leisurely sat on the cushion under the peach tree.***Emperor Sunwoo finished his court meeting and has ordered Khlui to investigate something last night while he stealthily walk behind Khlui and listen."Eunuch Khlui, I was the one stationed outside of the Imperial hall and I personally saw
54An: don't hate me on this chapter.. Hahaha this is needed for the story to progress and I am terribly sorry for a sudden turn of events, Anyhow.. This is the 3rd update. The Emperor's Phoenix is completed on my drafts after I wholeheartedly write this 3 days ago.. But there will be a lot of adjustments so who knows? ***What Kana predicted come true, one morning at the court meeting, an official the Bureau of Internal Revenue voice out his concern."Your Highness allow this official to see through this situation.. It's almost time for you to name an Empress to handle the harem, your Consorts are fighting and the Empress Dowager cannot control them."After hearing this, everyone exchanged their thoughts and buzzed like bees.Minister Han, Kana's father sneered, this people around him will do anything for power and position, he knew why they are doing this, they don't want the Han family to push more for power, having Kana as an Empress, and his father as the minister of defense
55- Kana visited The Han manor, wearing his beautiful hanbok, he fetch an important chess piece. "Are you ready?" He look at Lili from head to toe. "Yes, Your Grace." Lili said with her soft voice. "Then, let's go." The entourage of the concubine came and Lili got all the attention because Consort Han is the one who ushered her inside the inner court where the Empress is waiting. Kana almost laugh out loud when Empress Park, fainted. 'What a weakling' "Since the Empress fainted, please escorts her to her chambers.. I will continue the process of concubine selection.." Empress Dowager said, Kana nodded. "Would Imperial mother mind if I will participate in the selection?" he humbly ask. "As long as you will not be bias on your sister, Consort Han." Empress Dowager said. Kana stiffened. What's wrong with this old hag? "No, not at all.." Kana shook his head and sat without being invited beside the Empress Dowager. Then, the selection started. ***Kana was so tired after that
56After Emperor Sunwoo accepted the report give by Siwon, he is stunned for a bit and he think deeply. He contemplated and made a fix decision. The very next day, after Emperor Sunwoo finished on his daily duties, he wrote an edict declaration of the new Minister of Health to assume and owned the previous Hyun Manor and changed it into KIM MANSION. The previous Hyun manor was owned by the Exiled minister of Health, Minister Hyun and her daughter the fifth rank Consort Hyun who was Consort Pleng's accompliced on killing the former Emperor. After writing an edict, he gave it to Khlui saying that it should be brought to the Jade Pavilion where he knows that Minister Kim often stays, there are faint rumor spreading that the Noble Consort keeps on seeing the Minister of Health and it was unpleasant to hear, so Emperor Sunwoo took the initiative on bestowing marriage to Minister Kim Namjoon, he is jealous as well, Kana is sorrounded by gorgeous looking men and he is not at ease about i
57Fuming mad, Kana hold on the Imperial edict, daughter of Prime Minister Park? Does the Emperor even thinking?! He's holding RM as a pawn! Kana keeps on clinching his fist onto balls, RM just stood on the side and watch him. "It's fine, Your Highness, I will accept the edict, declining a gift from the Emperor is a grave sin." RM said and get the scroll on his hand. He knew that the Emperor does this for the better and he has reasons. Seokjin just look away after he heard that, Jeon pouted and lean on V, who's still wearing his armored uniform and his face void emotions, but when Jeon lean on him.. His hand immediately rub his swollen belly. "Would you want to take a wife too?" he pouted again and look intensely at V who just chuckled a bit. "Silly, why should I do that? You are enough for me." Jeon melted in his embrace. V heave a deep sigh, it's better not to provoke this pregnant cutie. Kana look at them with bitterness. "Go get a room!" his loud voice echoed and stunned
58-Instead of leaving, Emperor Sunwoo walks over the bed, removed his outer robe, lifted the quilt and laid down beside Kana who's covering his face with his hands, he's crying without sound. He doesn't know why he felt weak and his mood switch on and off.When he felt Emperor Sunwoo hugged him, a sob escaped his mouth and his crying voice became more audible making Emperor Sunwoo stilled."I apologize.. Please stop crying.. I know I said those things out of impulse.. I'm sorry.." He slowly said while rubbing Kana's back.Kana stilled and felt warm in his touch, but his stubborn and hurt heart did not follow. He remained his back facing the Emperor while pitifully wiping his tears away.Why can't he stop crying?What's wrong with him?"Honey.." Emperor Sunwoo called out again."You shouldn't lashed out on me in front of my shadow guards, you insulted my authority towards them.. You belittled me." His soft voice sents chills of guilt on Emperor Sunwoo."I.. It's my fault.. I was carr
59Kana woke up a little bit and he is frowning when he saw the Emperor's expression. "My Liege?" he asked softly. "Kana'er, we are having a baby.." He said as his tears falls down. Kana's mouth keeps opening and closing but he doesn't know what to say. Emperor Sunwoo hugged him tight. "This calls for a celebration!" "No! No one should know that I am pregnant.. I am planning on something and you are not allowed to interfere!" Emperor Sunwoo felt betrayed for the third time but he didn't dare to disagree. RM came back brimming with happiness and holding a bowl of tonic for the fetus. Emperor Sunwoo stayed longer and even helped Kana and RM planned on his estate warming ceremony. ***The huge Kim Estate given by the Emperor was fully decorated, all the noble family was invited, even the Empress, the honored Concubine and of course the Noble Consort Han arrived, since this is the first time that the Minister of Health opens his home, everyone is present as a way of welcoming hi
60 An: hello guys sorry for the long wait, my employers just came back from vacation and Ramadan is very near! I can't promise that I can update every day.. Sorry for now! ***Emperor Sunwoo did dragged Kana out of the Kim Mansion and took him to his Imperial chamber, leaving everyone in daze on how dazzling the couple looked like in their very own eyes.Some shows looks of envy and jealousy but some curled their mouth on a smirk of satisfaction.That very night, The disgraced Madame Yoon had received was enough to blow her self esteem as the main wife of the Minister of Defense who was accused to be unjust and unfair.It also tarnished her reputation as the princess of Silla.Concubine Bai tried to coax her along with Honored Concubine Lili for her to not succumbed in her negative feelings.RM tried his best to accommodate his guests and ended the party as early as it is.On the Imperial Chamber, Emperor Sunwoo wrote an Imperial Edict saying that from that very day, Noble Consort H
