[under editing]Transmigration : Wake Up as an Annoying Concubine

42 - The Empress was attacked?!

Sorry for late update ! Beware of major error !

The disturbance at the port, farm and riots at the border gate where people coming in and out of the country keeps on increasing.

Almost everyday, the judicial court receives complaints and reports. The governor in every province has been called by the emperor to the palace a week ago. Wu Zhang Wei had asked them to make a record of every case report and complaint.

A detail of the offender, victim and flow of incident must be recorded. Every week, the report must be handed to Huang Fei Hong, who will cooperate with Lord Li Shizen to analyze the pattern and style of the person who dared to create all the chaos.

This idea was suggested by the emperor's beloved wife.

Even though Xiu Ying didn't attend the morning court or meeting with all the ministers, Zhang Wei always discussed the problems in his study room or their bedchamber.

Xiu Ying once wanted to attend but Zhang Wei immediately rejected. He doesn't want to expose his beautiful beloved to others. Xiu Ying just laughs out loud when Zhang Wei spoke out his inner thoughts and he complied with his husband's demands. He did everything to help Zhang Wei behind the scenes.

Zhang Wei too, never said all the ideas came from him but instead boasted how the empress who gave the ideas. Some ministers praised the empress' intelligence and feel grateful but some just smile stiffly.

However, before they could solve the current matter, another problem arises.

Some people came to report that the mountainous area was set on fire. No one knows what is the cause. Half of the forest was burnt. For herbalists or businessmen who sell herbs, it was a great loss as the forest is their only source of herbs. Naturally grown herbs are more effective than the ones they planted. When the forest was burnt, the source of herbs also will be reduced, thus their daily lives also will be affected.

The kneeling guards who came to report the incident, tremble in fear. The emperor didn't utter any words since they informed His Majesty. No words are scarier than the emperor going on rage.

Both Prime Minister and the General look at Wu Zhang Wei, then they sigh. Those fingers were clenched into tight fistball and the veins popping out, they knew the emperor trying hard to hold back his anger.

This matter is intolerable anymore. A peaceful country suddenly got too many problems within a short period is too suspicious.

Zhang Wei tried to use the mildest methods to solve the problems. He doesn't want to use any force or spill any bloodshed. He did everything that his empress advised.

Even though some of the matter did reduce and solved, but other problems keep arising.

They're no longer lack of veggies and fruits source. Pirates no longer showing up but then lots of illegal merchants tried to smuggle stuff from the palace and sell it outside. Some of them even kidnap children and tried to sell them for slaves or brought up as prostitutes.

Handling the chaos, Zhang Wei only slept for two or three hours for the past three days. Xiu Ying worried about him and insisted to keep him company but he was carried back to their bedchamber by his husband.

Zhang Wei doesn't want Xiu Ying to have sleep deprived and feel lethargic. He needs Xiu Ying feeling fresh so he can re-energize himself when he is with Xiu Ying.

Right now, it is almost chǒu hours (01:00am) and Zhang Wei is still in his study room. The never-ending work is taking his time with his wife.

Leaning back on the chair, eyes shut tight, Zhang Wei rubs his temple. He sighs. More memorials need to be read and analyze. If he continues tomorrow, the workload is just getting more. But now, it's already so late.
