Chapter 365: You are welcome

In homes all over the empire, shock was a familiar expression for so many. The Aoi organization had been around for so many years. Their reputation was as spotless as a blank white sheet of paper. Why were they being accused of having a hand in this mess?

Quickly, another hash tag joined the trending topics of the day, #Aoi organization in plantation massacre.

In the royal palace, the emperor, empress, crown prince, grand emperor and queen dowager were all following Phoenix news closely. The news had been running for over an hour now and it was time for another program but that program had been cancelled for the day.

The members of the royal family wore scowls on their faces because this massacre had claimed the lives of many citizens of the empire and it was going to bring heavy criticism and dissatisfaction about the ruling family.

A lot of discussions were going to follow in the few weeks with all sorts of experts and quacks advising the citizens on matters of national security.

The other big reason for the scowls on their faces was that one of their own was involved in this whole mess. They were doing all they could to keep it quiet by making sure that the plantation massacre was the biggest news in the empire. To them, this was better than, "meet the emperor’s murderous uncle."

"Where is that bastard?" the grand emperor asked the royal butler. "Look at all the terrible things he has done. What kind of crime did we commit for someone like that to have our blood?" He lamented "From now on there must be strict supervision of all the members of the royal family."

The emperor placed his head in both of his hands, looked down and sighed. When he raised his head, he kept rubbing his neck which was a sign of the immense stress he was under.

"Are you okay?" the empress asked him.

"I have been awake ever since Jun Muyang send me that video and said Chi Lian was exposing the Chu’s and doctor Li. I had no idea that she was dragging the Aoi organization down with them."

"At least she chose to keep us out of it." The empress answered. "Imagine people finding out that the mastermind of the Aoi organization is a member of the royal family!!!! And he is not alone over the years we have all contributed to the growth of the organization financially." The queen dowager said as she run her hands through her already disorganized hair.

"We gave him money to use for charity we had no idea what he had turned the organization into." The grand emperor exploded in anger and banged his fist against a table. "We trusted him because he is family, how could we have been so blind?"

All of their emotions were running high they were exhausted and extremely stressed. They were also worried about anyone finding out about the link between the Aoi organization and the royal family.

"What are we going to do?" the empress asked.

"We have to control the narrative." The emperor said. "Uncle was the only one to mess up; we will not let the empire drown in chaos because of him." He looked at the butler and asked, "What choice has my uncle made?"

The butler was standing beside the throne with his head bowed and his arms folded. "It’s time to prepare for a funeral your majesty."

This news should have been grim, and indeed it was but it was also painful to hear.

"At least his sins have died with him." The empress said.

"We should make an announcement on the royal social media pages." The grand emperor said sadly. "Will we be burying him in the royal cemetery?"

"For what?" the queen dowager said angrily, "He should be cremated and his ashes poured into those graves at that plantation to soothe the souls of those he harmed. I will never allow myself to be buried in the same place with such an evil man.

You have all seen that video, you saw what he did and according to what they were saying it was not the first time. They were probably going to keep doing it until their arms and legs stopped working. How can any of you think that you will rest in peace if you are buried next to him?

I have not been able to close my eyes ever since we saw that video, I keep seeing those images, how could he do such..." She broke off and started crying.

"Queen Dowager," the empress came down from her seat and comforted the queen dowager.

"I feel so guilty," the queen dowager sobbed. "I gave him my money to help the people and he used it to kill them instead. I might as well have killed them with my own two hands."

"We all gave him money mother." The emperor said sadly. "If we are apportioning guilt for that reason then we all are guilty."

"We should cremate him and be done with his Chapter already." The crown prince who had been quiet since the early hours of the morning said. "I don’t want to attend his funeral or pretend to grieve for such a man.

He lived a secluded life and run the organization behind the scenes so not many people in the empire care about his affairs. We can simply say that we held a private funeral for him since it was his wish."

"People will still expect a televised funeral. They will expect us to invite ministers, members of aristocratic families and other dignitaries to this funeral." The grand emperor retorted. "He was member of the royal family; if we just brush off his death and do nothing at all it will be suspicious unless we find a reason not to hold a state funeral for him that all the people find reasonable."

"Are we going to ask a priest of any faith to pray for his soul?" the queen dowager asked.

They all had one question in mind, "who would pray for such an evil soul?’

As they were silently pondering over this, the butler’s phone buzzed and when he saw what was on it, he brought the phone to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the contents of the phone and sighed. "I think it’s time to rush that cremation."

"Why?" the grand emperor asked.

The butler showed the grand emperor the phone.

The mighty little peep star: [Death is the only thing we cannot escape as humans good or bad. I am sending my condolences to the royal family for the death of one of their own; the grand emperor’s little known brother Long Genghis- Ke. He was a cruel man who will forever be remembered as an animal abuser, may Buddha have mercy on his soul.]

Attached was a picture of Long Genghis –Ke hitting his dog with his gold and black cane.

Usually, this post would go viral in a short period of time however today; the only thing people cared about was the ghastly details of the plantation massacre.

"Well, now we have a reason not to hold a state funeral, he was an animal abuser. It will be very inconsiderate of us to give him a state funeral, out people will frown on it." The emperor said. He seemed to be quite relieved. "The peep star is more useful to us than we realized it seems."

The phone buzzed and the butler returned it to the emperor. There was a private message from an unknown number. Only five words were in the text.

"You are welcome." peep star.
