The Empress Is Searching

She seduced her

Prince Wuji fell to the Empress' mother 's feet after Si-me opened the door for her. He began acting distressed and refused to get up even when Empress dowager told him to.

The Empress let him calm down before she asked him to sit down on one of her couches. She looked at him for a while to know if he's calm and when it seems to her that he is, she asks.

"Why the sad mood Wuji?

"Your Highness, she really meant it. She told me not to ever come near her and it's all because of that girl!. " Wuji yelled angrily.

"Which girl?" Royal mother asked, confused.

"That girl Irra, Jae Hwa, my personal maid told me of their affairs but I didn't believe her. Today I went to visit her and I saw them together.

I saw them mother, I caught the girl kissing her and I think they've been having this affair for a long while now. She seduced her mother, she seduced the Empress and now she has rejected me." Prince Wuji finished and then began to act depressed again.

Empress dowager watched him in disbelief, to say she's angry is an understatement for she's furious. She'd heard the rumors but she thought that's what it is ..just rumors but this..

She finds it despicable.

"Hyun-sik!" The Empress called and immediately Hyun-sik rushed in and bowed.

"Get Irra here! If she's with the Empress ..wait for her to come out before bringing her to me." Empress Dowager said and Hyun-sik bowed once again before rushing out.

Hyun-sik asked around and fortunately for him, Kleila had returned to her quarters. He rushed to Kleila quarters and knocked.

Kleila opened the door. "Hyun-sik, did the Royal mother ask for me?" She asked because anytime the Empress wants to speak with her, she sends Hyun-sik or one of her other personal guards.

"Yes and right away." Hyun-sik replied. Kleila told him to hold on before rushing inside her room to get her scarf, after she followed.

When they got to the Empress door, Hyun-sik told the Empress that he has Kleila and Kleila asked if she can come in.

It was Si-me who opened the door and Kleila entered, immediately she entered, she bowed to the Empress but Empress dowager began yelling at her.

"You had the guts to enter the Empress chambers and not only that, you seduced her! You know she's supposed to be betrothed to Prince Wuji and yet you still went and threw yourself at her, You a female. You're an abomination which shall be eliminated." The Empress said angrily.

Kleila didn't know what to say for she didn't quite understand what was happening and at the left side of where the Empress is sitting, there is Prince Wuji acting depressed as if he found out he has a deadly disease which could end his life.

The Empress took Kleila silence wrongly and this made her furious for, although she believed what Prince Wuji was saying, she wished Kleila would deny it and then there might be hope that she hadn't seduced her daughter after all ..maybe the Prince saw wrong.

"How can this happen, the Empress wouldn't ..you did something to her.

How could you sleep with the Empress! How could you throw yourself at her ..didn't Hyuna teach you better!?

You're nothing but an evil harlot and I can't have such a harlot living inside my daughter's palace!" The Empress yelled and this is when everything starts to make sense to Kleila. Kleila falls on her knees and begins to plead.

"Your Highness, I haven't ..I didn't sleep with the Empress, she doesn't see me that way, please Empress mother, please don't send me away." Kleila pleads but her replies only made the Empress more furious.

"Is it true that you always go to her. Is it true!?" The Empress asked furiously when Kleila didn't answer her the first time.

Kleila began to cry when the Empress raised her voice at her. She nodded her head and at the same time said yes but she said it softly that you can hardly hear her.
