Side Story I: Wu Zhang Wei x Li Xiu Ying 🔞

Mature Content ALERT

The news of the former regent of the State of Zhou, which is formerly known as the South Empire, was spread all over the nation, including the State of Shu and the State of Zhou. Due to this piece of news, every time people from the State of Zhou went to other countries, they would look down upon too.

It is true it was not their fault for having a perverted regent but still other people won't stop talking about it.

"If the regent himself was so lustful, what's more, their people."

"The regent cannot control himself, for sure all of the people every day indulged in promiscuous activities every day."

"I bet if they are doing it in the daylight in the public, they won't even be punished for it."

It was really hard for all merchants to come and do business in other countries. They can't even do business in Wu Empire as the people from Wu Empire were holding a grudge against them for what happened to their empress.

This kind of situation went on for more than a month. It won't be solved until Wu Zhang Wei himself issuing a proclamation to ask citizens of the Wu Empire not to avoid doing business with people from the State of Zhou.

What happened to the Mother of the Nation has nothing to do with innocent people. Plus, the Wu Empire and the State of Zhou have been considered a family since the state has fallen under Wu Zhang Wei's rule.

Only after this proclamation was made, people of the Wu Empire slowly started to accept the presence of the State of Zhou's merchants and businessmen.

Meanwhile, in the State of Zhou, Regent Zhou has slowly recovered from his mystery illness with the help of Li Xiu Ying's prescription.

A few trusted ministers and officers were appointed by Li Shizen and sent to help Regent Zhou rule the state. At the age of fifteen, Regent Zhou handled the huge state. At first, he was hesitant about whether he can do it or not. But in the end, there is no 'can do or not' but he must do it.

He was grateful Wu Zhang Wei let him acted as a regent even after what South Empire has done to him. From then on, he idolized and admired Wu Zhang Wei so much. And deep down in his heart, one day he could find someone like Xiu Ying by his side.

Someone who truly loves him and not because of his title or position. Someone who trusted him more than anyone in this world.

But for now, it wasn't the right time to think about a life partner. He needs to get back on his foot and grow stronger. With half of the Royal court members were fired and new ones were appointed, all administration affairs were handled in the most efficient way.

All the ministers and officers who were sided with Yu Zhougong or involved in any corruption were stripped off from their position and all of their wealth was confiscated and distributed among the poor people. All these were Wu Zhang Wei's ideas and Regent Zhou carried them out.

Just like in the State of Zhou, almost half of the Royal court members in the Wu Empire were dismissed. The "cleaning" process took almost two weeks. One by one who was charged guilty was immediately stripped off from their title.

Wu Zhang Wei gave them a choice. Stay alive but live like a normal citizen or be hanged to death. Of course, those cowards would choose to stay alive. They thought, even if their wealth were confiscated if they work hard, one day they could rise to the top again

However, they never thought, for people who used to live in luxury, striving to live was really hard if you got skills and real-life experience. Washing clothes on their own, making meals on their own, start up a new business but no sale even after a week. Even the once elegant-looking madam started to look like a servant and the smug minister now look like a beggar with heads hanging low.
