OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 114 MEETING OF THE KING'S TWO LOVERS

The last moon in autumn, a bright moon shines in the sky, making the reflection of silver light fill the land and the silent wisteria forest.

Zhieshan Hill, after a week of meeting in a winter villa at the foot of the hill.

From behind the desolate forest, a body flashed with a black veil on an equally dense horse in his clothes, charging down the desolate hill in haste. The veil fluttered in the hot autumn wind.

The slender figure was pounding the horse like a fidelity, heading towards the east gate of Weiyan palace. Then stop at the edge of the forest near His Majesty's halfway house usually if you want to go out of the palace to disguise.

Nimblely he slipped among the large trees around the settlement, then without a few guards on guard noticing, he jumped behind the wall without a sound at all.

He jumped onto a roof of a building, walked slithering away onto the roof of another building, then stopped at the last building before Chue lian's palace behind the king's residence.

For a moment he seemed silent, it seemed like he knew the place very well.

He slowly jumped to the ground, setting his foot on the root of the maple tree that was poking out, while holding on to the trunk of the large tree.

His shining eyes behind the black veil, unblinkingly watching into the palace of Chue Lian.

A dim-looking lantern shone from inside the wall-covered building.

For a moment he was stunned from behind the veil as his eyes caught a glance at the rongshu tree that stood high-handed under the moonlight.

The decades-old shadow passed by, and like it was still yesterday, he seemed to be looking at the same place where his eyes were fixed, as if he was still yesterday, a teenage girl was planting the tree with a handsome prince who adored her.

Those strange memories running around made his legs suddenly feel shaky for a moment.

Then he lifted his heart, continued his steps infiltrated into the middle of the building which now still appears a lantern living in dim light.

He seemed to know every ins and outs of the building, so it was not too difficult for him to avoid tight guard outside the walls and in front of the palace gates.

Slowly, he slipped through a door on the side that was accidentally unlocked, stepping in a tread as light as cotton.

The room was filled with a soft fragrance of peonies, a small lantern was on the reading table, from which the light shone.

"I'm waiting for you..." A clear and soft voice sounded breaking desolate. The veiled figure immediately turned to a girl in a white dress, who was standing at the corner of the curtain.

She looks so beautiful even though she is in the dark.

This veiled figure stared warily at the woman who was standing right not far in front of him. He recalled many months ago that he had greeted him at the Sunyen temple.

"I'm concubine Yi, who you want to meet.." Xiao Yi's hand extended out slowly, showing a green jade armor hanger with a dragon motif, the jade was hung with a yellow silk woven rope whose ends were spun to fray.

"You sent this, and asked me to meet at Chue Lian's palace, right at midnight the last full moon in the fall." Xiao Yi seemed to have no hesitation, he knew that only the two people he had seen had the dragon-motif hangers emblazoned from the jade emerald, with yellow silk at the end.

She was His Highness Yan Yue and a female monk in Sunyen temple.

Slowly, the veil covered her face. And Xiao Yi was fixated on looking at the beautiful face that was now returning her gaze with nanar.

The veil hat on the loose later, and the one emblazoned in front of Xiao Yi was not the appearance of a monk with a bald head, but a beautiful woman with long black hair tied behind the nape.

"Jiu Fei." Xiao Yi's voice trembled, it felt almost in disbelief to be able to deal with an important woman in the life of His Majesty Yan Yue, her husband now.

Meet without distance, with the girl who was told so legendary because it can break the heart of a king.

For a moment the two beautiful women admired each other, they were both living legends in the life of king Yanzhi. One was the one who had been so loved by the king and broke his heart into shapeless pieces and the other was the one who put together each of the dim pieces back into one piece, whole again, pulling His Majesty from the abyss of fall.

Either way, the real ones have the heart right, but history carves, they are the king's love of death.

"What do you want to tell me in secret, not even one to know?" the question broke the silence, sounding soft.

"I know, Your Majesty is in the hands of the right person." Jiu Fei said in a warm voice, without actually answering Xiao Yi's question.

"I'm sure only you can save His Majesty." Continue without worry.

Consort Yi did not say, her chest rumbled, she felt how small she was in front of this woman. In her simplicity, she looks stunning and calm.

"May I call you sister?" jiu Fei asked then greeted Xiao Yi's head nod.

"You can call me anything." Xiao Yi replied as he squeezed the jade that was within his grasp.

"Sister, do you know how valuable His Majesty is to..."Jiu Fei was silent for a moment,

"For this Yanzhi kingdom?" continue then.

"Yes, I know he's a king for this kingdom." Xiao Yi said without hesitation.

"Sister, how does it feel to love a king? isn't it like holding on to a sword, if you hold it wounded, if you take it off it still bleeds." Jiu Fei grimaced strangely, in the dimness, a sadness emanated in the look of his face that was like the surface of a rippling lake.

"Whatever happens later, whether you hold it or you let it go, never leave it. Because, he was a lonely lion, he was afraid and always alone. Being his destiny bears the burden for himself, even losing the feeling of being loved without ever knowing who is truly loyal to him." Two clear spheres fell at the corner of Jiu Fei's eyes.

In the past, Xiao Yi had heard almost similar words from His Majesty's lips, that a king is like a lion without friends.

Xiao Yi, not knowing what to say, was sad about his pulse, sending him to the bottom of his soul. Jiu Fei revealed that sentence so sincerely and deeply.

Suddenly, from behind his black robe, he pulled out a paper scroll about the size of two kilan children.

"I have written down almost all the details of the Queen Mother's plan that I know of in this paper, concerning the plan of rebellion to be carried out on the day of your coronation as the king's consort." Jiu Fei came closer to Xiao Yi, carefully handing the scroll over to the hand of the woman in front of him.

The two lovers of the king from different times, stared at each other, as each held on to the end of the paper scroll. Stuck for a moment, not understanding why love has been so strange to bring two captive people together on the same person.
