Chapter Title: I Am Very Happy, I Arrived Back Home in One Piece (3)

Chapter no. 49

(Qin Zetian's POV)

I was too dumbfounded when my own mother knocked on my door. That has caused the man below me to open his eyes and flip me. I landed on the floor again with a loud thud. He immediately fixed himself and pretended to sleep on my bed as if nothing happened.

I raised my fist and attempted to hit him, but my hand stopped mid-air when his left eye opened.

"Ze'er can we talk for a while" my mother said

"I'm coming out mother" I pulled myself up, and get out of my room. While rubbing my aching butt slowly.

I saw the worried look on the face of my mother. I smiled and hugged her. There are moments in your life when you want to feel the same feeling you've felt once. For me, I wanted to feel the warmth of a mother to her daughter, like how my mom used to hug me when I'm in deep trouble. Back in the modern days, my mom usually comfort me and make me strong enough to face the problem at hand. And when my dad comes home from a business trip, he always make sure that I am not bothered nor affected by any problem, and that I am well.

"I missed you mommy" I whispered

"Come child let's walk for a while and let your fiancé rest, let mommy take you somewhere" my mom said

Mom and I walk out of my courtyard and went to a pavilion.

She urged me to sit on one of the carved stone chairs. I obediently sat and listened to her. She stared from afar, and her eyes held a deeper meaning of loneliness.

"Ze'er, do you know that when I was your age I was sent by my parents to form an alliance with this kingdom? It was the king who made the arrangements, but I never wanted to go and marry the old emperor. I know how dangerous the palace is, and it is not a playground to play nor a battlefield to fight for. The imperial palace is a GRAVEYARD. Do you know what I did to stop my own marriage?"

"Mom... What happened?" I whispered

"I ran away, I went to the Northwest of this kingdom and escaped from my responsibilities. Do you know what else happened?"

"Mom--"

"It was a lonely night for me to stop in an inn. Your father was drunk and so am I. We met by chances and even hid our very own identities. It was a love affair in one night, with no regrets he claimed me. But the soldiers of the emperor found me. They tried to put me in jail because of treason, and then I was sentenced to death by my own parents. Luckily a week after, your father saw me. He saved me, he fought for me and when the doctors came to check on me-- they found out that I am pregnant with your elder sister."

I stood up and hugged my mom. I thought the bandits were there to haul her, how come she'd met my father before the incident happened?

"The emperor was cruel, he did not let me escape fully. He forced my best friend to be the crown princess. He passed his throne and his son ascended to throne. And before he died, he bestowed marriage between your eldest sister and his son. They have a huge age gap and that was the payment. Do you know how hard it is now? But that didn't end there"

My sister's marriage and the empress' marriage is all orchestrated by the former emperor?
