THE EMPEROR'S NIGHTINGALE [ BL Story ]

5 - The EMPEROR found the treasure

The royal court room is filled with tension and fear. The fear of the ministers for their deaths as they kneel down in front of their Emperor.

Emperor Da Guang is sitting on His chair while looking straight-faced to all who surrounded Him. Everyone lock their eyes on the floor never give an eye contact to His Majesty because they were afraid of those disappointed eyes and they felt nervous for whatever the punishment would their Emperor given for them but they wouldn't dare to oppose His Majesty's decisions for they respected it and accepted their failures. Still, they are afraid to welcomed death in their arms and everyone knows that, every single one of them is afraid.

The time of silence is been taking utterly too long and everyone does only to kept their mouths closed.

On the other hand, a man isn't well enough for the deep silence to his surrounding and it seems, no one wanted to start to converse for this specific matter.

So, Prime Minister Juxing Shu started his supposedly last speech "His Majesty give us an order to go and search for the 'Nightingale of Beifang'. He then reconsider to gave us three days and we have been told if ever we didn't find the Nightingale, all the court ministers will be perished and possible leads to death. The three days we spent on searching everywhere on the whole Kingdom of Beifang have been paid with many failures. As for the given days end, we have been empty handed. Your Majesty, we are here to receive our punishment. Please, punish us for we disappoints His Grace" he ended his speech with a bow as his fellow ministers followed with a slightly hesitation "Punish Us! Your Majesty!" they shouted in unison loud as clear nonetheless.

The ambiance of the room becomes gloomily and death is waiting for them on the other side.

The great person is about to commenced that broke the tension of the room which the ministers had been waiting for that horrendous words to call the death upon them "I will spare your life. I, have been told that you all really doing your searching diligently but I was indeed displeased of the outcome of your search for the 'Nightingale of Beifang'. So, instead there be a light punishment. All of you be ready for tomorrow." he said sternly with a slight of boredom.

Somehow the ministers weren't satisfied of what they have heard coming from the Emperor. It was like mocking them for not being successful. So, they complain again "Why the Emperor spare us, for we failed His Grace?" and the Emperor glared at them with a smirk written on his lips "So, you all want death?" he asked them which the ministers silence again.

They don't want death, all they wanted is an explanation of why they we're spared and only to receive a light punishment. They should be thankful but it was unforgivable for they have failed in the first place.

They heard the Emperor Da Guang sighed "I am not mocking you for your failures if that's what you are all thinking" he blunt as He noticed how this helpless men in front of him who are bewildered of his decisions while the ministers thought the same thing 'Too Sharp' surprised and guilty for their ungratefulness to their Emperor.

Quickly, Prime Minister Juxing Shu replied "We are happy for his Majesty decisions and we respected it. Thank you, Your Majesty!" as everyone repeats after him then the young prime minister asked one more question "Does His Majesty still wanted to go and search for the 'Nightingale'?" which Emperor only waved his hand at the two guards that are guarding on a double door "No need, Prime Minister. For I, found the treasure I been looking for. Unfortunately, that you all didn't find" he continued with a smile while looking at the open doors, waiting for that person to entered the royal court room.

Everyone are waiting for this so called 'Treasure' to revealed itself and that person appears with a guilty expression on its beautiful face which all the ministers drop their jaws astounded of what they see in front of them.
