The Xu Family

“Oh no. What are we going to do?” Debby asked worried.

Brianna took in a deep breath.

“Permission to speak with you privately your Highness”

“Permission granted”

Brianna and Wu Feihong walked into a private room.

“No one knows of this but since you’re her highness, I will tell you. Xu Sheng, the miracle doctor took in his grandson, Xu Muye as his student and taught him everything he knows.”

“Why not his son.”

“Xu Tian was his son but Xu Sheng was never fond of him. He rather disliked his son especially since Xu Tian allowed Xu Muye to be bullied by his second wife Fa Xueluo .”

“Oh my. So how did you know about all this?”

“Xu Muye is part of GSOS. I have to know the background of my agents.”

“Spill”

“The miracle doctor Xu Sheng married Cao Changchang but due to some political war that was going on then, since Xu Sheng was the royal doctor. His wife, Cao Changchang was poisoned. Xu Sheng was able to save his wife but due to the poison, his wife life span shortened and she became barren. Luckily, they had Xu Tian by then so they could still continue their lineage.

Xu Tian married Meng Chunhua and they bore Xu Muye. When Xu Muye was still a baby, Xu Tian had affairs outside with Fa Xueluo. Eventually, Fa Xueluo got pregnant and Xu Tian had to marry her in as the concubine. Fa Xueluo not liking her position in as the concubine poisoned Meng Chunhua to get rid of her. Xu Sheng found out about the poison late when Meng Chunhua was at the brink of death and he promised Meng Chunhua to take care of Xu Muye. Xu Sheng and Xu Muye lived together as Xu Sheng trained Xu Muye in the fields of medicine. Xu Muye is very talented in medicine and ended up surpassing Xu Sheng in medicine. Though Xu Sheng is known as the miracle doctor, Xu Muye surpassed Xu Sheng but decided to keep his a secret to use it as a trump card.

Xu Sheng knows that Fa Xueluo will try to harm Xu Muye once they go back to their family house to live there and he was too old to be fighting battle with a scheming concubine, so since he had favor with his late majesty, he was able to bring Xu Muye into GSOS and Xu Muye has had the backing of the royal family since then.” Wu Feihong explained.

“Wow, some people are evil. Since you are the head of GSOS, Should I seek revenge for Meng Chunhua?” Brianna asked.

“Your majesty, as much as I will like Fa Xueluo to be punished. I am afraid we have to deal with the person trying to kick you off the throne first.” Wu Feihong answered.

“Did he strike again?”

“Yes your majesty. We were able to curb it in time before it was released but we can’t keep going on like this. I have a lists of suspects but if the person was able to cover their tracks as good as this. It will be almost impossible for us to catch the person”

“What are you suggesting?”

“I am afraid we will need external help your highness. To deal with this person, we will need to team up with AROSA and ASA.”

“Secret agents for Arthis and Amise?”

“Yes. Amise is our ally and we won’t have much issue with that but we were never politically involved with Arthis.”

“Leave the issue of Arthis to me. I will have to ask Debby directly for help. As for Amise, we have to hold off her for now, the Queen of Amise is facing some issues now and might not be able to help us right now. We have to work with Arthis. Come see me tomorrow night on Campus, we’ll discuss this.”

“Yes, your majesty. Thank you”

“Call Xu Muye here. I want to see him in twenty minutes. Since he’s better at medicine that his grandfather. I want him to come with me instead. I will compensate him later for the loss of his grandfather. As for Xu Tian. Gather evidences against him. I will kick him off politics and tarnish his image. Xu Muye always had the backing of the previous royal family. He’s going to get mi…” A knock at the door interrupted Brianna.

“Hey, what’s going on, you’re taking too long” A muffled Tyler voice came from the other side of the door.

“We’re done” Brianna said, nodded at Wu Feihong and went out of the room while Wu Feihong went to get Xu Muye.

‘What a nice Queen’ He thought.

Brianna came out of the room to see a fuming Tyler, a blushing Debby and a smirking Ashton. She wasn’t even going to ask about Debby and Ashton.

“Why are you angry Tyler?”

“You were with that dude for too long”

“I was discussing issues of my kingdom with him. I’m sure you know how it is” Brianna said a bit too firmly with a hint of anger. Tyler realized what he said.

“Can I speak to you for a minute” Tyler asked. Brianna nodded and they walked into the room Brianna had meeting with Wu Feihong.

Debby and Ashton took a worried glance at each other.

In the other room

“What do you want?”

“I am sorry for the way I reacted in the other room, I guess I was jealous”

“Why were you jealous?”

“Brianna, I have liked you since I first saw you. I didn’t want to admit it but it became worse day by day. I know you find me cute and probably don’t really like me but can you give me the chance to court and take care of you?”

“Tyler, if this goes bad, you know it can ruin our friendship”

“I know, and I am willing to risk …”

“What kind of statement is that?” Brianna interrupted Tyler. She wasn’t willing to lose her best friend because of a relationship that ended badly.

“Sorry” Tyler apologized.

“Anyway, I can be your babe. From what I noticed, you have jealousy issues. The most important thing for a relationship to work is trust. Will you trust me?” ‘Trust was the most important thing for a relationship to work.’ She learnt that from romance novels.

“Yes, I will”

“Well, I like you and I am willing to be your girlfriend.” She was willing to give it a shot, he was very cute anyway.

“Yes” Tyler exclaimed and carried Brianna in happiness.

“Hey! Put me down” Brianna yelled wanting to get back on her own feet.

‘I am facing some issues right now and I don’t want it to get out. I hope you can trust me that I’m not cheating on you. Plus it will serve as a test for us to work. I wonder how long it will last’ Brianna thought in her mind. Tyler snapped her out of it.

“Brianna, we gotta go back”

“Okay” She nodded and followed Tyler into her office.

‘It’s nice I am dating my like for a while’ Brianna smiled.

“Congratulations!!” Debby yelled and hugged Brianna.

“Why are you congratulating me?”

“On your new relationship, you guys were not exactly quiet” Hearing this from Debby, Tyler and Brianna blushed.

“By the way Brianna, we need to talk” Debby whispered in Brianna’s ear. Brianna nodded in response.

That moment, there was a knock on Brianna’s office door.

“Come in” Brianna said. Liu Yan walked in, and bowed.

“Your highness, Minister Xu came to see you”

“Minister Xu Tian?”

“Tell him I have important matters to attend to and I will have to schedule time to meet him. However, if Mr. Xu Muye come over, bring him in immediately and treat it as a top secret. Got it?”

“Yes, your highness” Liu Yan bowed and left the office.

As soon as Liu Yan left the office, muffled yelling and struggling could be heard and Brianna guessed Xu Tian is trying to come into her office by force.

Brianna quickly forced Debby and Tyler into the other room and stayed in her office with Ashton so that Xu Tian won’t try to stay with her for long since she still has to see his son.

As soon as Brianna took her seat, the door flew open with a bang.

“Minister Xu Tian, where is your respect for me as your Queen? Such audacious attitude” Brianna said with the strictest tone she could offer.

“I don’t care if you are a Minister, you dare disrespect me in front of the King of Belgia? Maybe I should remove you” Hearing this, Xu Tian got on his knees to beg for mercy.

Ashton decided to play along since he felt from the way Brianna is talking, she wants to get rid of him.

“Oh my my, is this how your subjects walk into your castle? I suggest you with them before it becomes a regular” Ashton said with a smirk, Xu Tian grit his teeth. They were trying to get rid of him, he didn’t know Brianna was against him. Ah, he chose a bad day to see her.

“Your majesty, please forgive this subject for his foolish attitude. It won’t happen again” Xu Tian bowed.

“What shall you do Queen Brianna?” Ashton asked.

“What do you seem fit King Ashton?” Brianna said. She wasn’t going to punish Xu Tian, she was bluffing. Since Ashton is interested, she will let Ashton punish him. She doesn’t want him to suspect that she was planning to get him out of politics. He didn’t even ask for punishment.

“A month suspension from office.”

“Then so be it. Minister Xu Tian, you walked into my office without an appointment, yelled at my secretary in my office and didn’t even knock and interrupted my meeting with his highness. These offences can lead to termination of position but the King of Belgia was merciful to you. Therefore, you are hereby suspended from office for a month. See yourself out please.” Brianna said. Xu Tian grit his teeth.

‘Your highness, let’s see how long you last on that throne. Lin Wanting will soon get rid of you’ He thought and walked out of the office. His purpose for going there today was a failure. He suffered greatly for it.

“Be careful, he probably has something to do with the person that’s tarnishing your image” Ashton said causing Brianna to look at him suddenly.

“How did you know?” Brianna asked.

“I am following the news of your kingdom. I trust you but there are too many corrupt officials in Guyana. What are you planning to do?” Ashton asked.

“I am going to talk to Debby about it and since you know about it, I will talk to you about it too.”

“You are not telling Tyler. He’s your best friend and boyfriend.”

“I want to keep this under wraps and solve the issue with this directly and he’s going to trust me.” Brianna smiled.

“Are you sure? This is Tyler”

“Don’t worry, we’ll resolve this”. Brianna smiled at Ashton
