Must Read: Skornia Series 1 LEGEND OF EMPRESS LI - Season 1 - Episode 10

Xavier came to visit Empress Li a few days before Emperor Kan regained conciousness. “My Empress, how have you been?” “Am okay now Xavier, you can be too annoying sometimes.” Xavier laughed. “As your brother, I must care, don’t forget you and the kids are the only family I have left.” Empress Li smiled. “I know.

Anyway that aside, what about my assignment?”
Xavier nodded. “It’s done. You were right Your Majesty. Kani is already among his people. Queen Lan never conceived talk more of giving birth, they devised a plan, when everyone thought she was pregnant, she was actually eyeing Kani from his mother’s womb.”

Empress Li exclaimed. “Oh my goodness. What about his family now? Where are they?” Xavier shook his head. “They are all dead. Every last one, Queen Lan ordered their death after she forcefully took Kani from them.” Empress Li exhaled. “That witch. Oh! I pity the poor boy, I must take care of him.” Xavier nodded. “Yes, that’s right. Now to the unfortunate incident. The reason behind His Majesty’s troubled mood.

Actually the Prime Minister, who is the Queen’s father has almost overthrown His Majesty, infact he is now in control of all the army, all that is left for him is to ger rid of Emperor Kan and his remaining loyalists and soldiers with him and he will become Emperor.”

At this juncture Empress Li became furious. “Son of a thousand fathers. No, this must never happen.” Xavier smiled. “Of course My Empress, what shall we do, just give me the order.” Empress Li sighed. “I don’t want to do this. Assemble our troops at Young Village secretly but wait for my orders, as much as I don’t want the Prime Minister to overthrow His Majesty, I have to tread carefully.” Xavier bowed. “Am at your service My Empress. There’s more. The Emperor’s loyalist army is seeking for our help but they don’t know who we are or who our leader is, they just know us as a mercenery army that’s all.” Empress Li smiled.”Alright,just don’t give us away understood?” Xavier bowed. “Very clear Your Majesty, I must leave now.” He then left, leaving Empress Li to her thoughts.

A few days later, Emperor Kan regained conciousness, when Empress Li heard that, she stopped going to his palace to look after him. The Queen seized this opportunity to lie against Empress Li before the Emperor. When Emperor Kan heard this he was angry at Empress Li. After the Queen left, he told the Chief Eunuch to summon Empress Li. The Chief Eunuch then spoke up.
“Forgive me Your Majesty but I think at this point there are some things you need to know. “Emperor Kan frowned. “And what are those?” The Chief Eunuch smiled. “Your Majesty, I don’t know anything else but one thing I know is that Empress Li is a very good woman. She has been taking careof you since she became the Empress. If not for her you would have been dead long ago.”

Emperor Kan was confused. “Moragoyeo! (What!) What are you talking about?” The Chief Eunuch sighed. “Do you remember that time when you are still a boy that you were poisoned? It was around the time you left Philnia to come resume your duties here as the Crown Prince. The poison was so strong that it was only a portion of it that was sent out of your system, we had all thought that you will die of the poison even before your ascension. But you became Emperor and married Empress Li. When she learnt of your sickness, she brought some herbs for us to use for you in your food everyday. She said it will detoxicate the poison and that if any is left later on she will help remove it from your body. She removed them a few days ago. When the Queen noticed this, she ordered that the herbs be stopped and that’s why the remaining poison then almost killed you before Empress Li removed it.”

Emperor Kan was so baffled and confused. “You mean Empress Li did all this for me?” The Chief Eunuch bowed. “Yes, Your Majesty. She also protected and took care of you while you were unconcious, she cleaned and fed you, she also stayed with you all through till you regained conciousness. I don’t think any evil person can do that and it is also evident she loves you no matter how you treated her.”

At this point the Emperor felt thoroughly ashamed of himself. He sighed. “But why would the Queen do this to me?” The Chief Eunuch smiled. “It’s simple My Majesty. She, her father(the Prime Minister) and some people are planning to overthrow youand get rid of you.” Emperor Kan became sad and angry. “What do you think I should do now Chief Eunuch? I have lost my people and even the throne am sitting on feels like I am only renting it.”

The Chief Eunuch smiled. “Believe Your Majesty, be bold and never be afraid to fight for your right.” Emperor Kan smiled and nodded. “Your words encourage me thank you.”

After this, Emperor Kanchanged his attitude towards Empress Li. His resolve about Empress Li changed and he began to like her tothe point where he fell in love with her. He was confused about the whole situation so he seeked advice from his mother, the Empress Dowager.
“Mother, you know all that have been happening in this Palace. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help myself. I-I-I think I am inlove with Empress Li. I don’t know what to do anymore.”

The Empress Dowager smiled. “It’s a good thing my son. She is a very good woman. Don’t hesitate to tell her, she will be a source of strengthfor you in this trying times.” Emperor Kan smiled. “I will do as you have said mother. I missed seeing my daughter too, I hope to see her again, thatis if Empress Li will let me.”

The Empress Dowager smiled. “She will. I know that for sure.” After their discussion, Emperor Kan began to talk to Empress Li, he began to show her love and affection but Empress Li was still cold to him but she allowed him to see Prince Jilhe and Princess Happiness.

Emperor Kan thought the Chief Eunuch got it wrong when he said Empress Li was in love with him so he was devastated. He wanted Empress Li to love him like he loved her. When the Chief Eunuch noticed this, he told Emperor Kan to be patient and that soon he will receive Empress Li’s affection.
