OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 126 I'M NOT AFRAID
Qian Ren had just finished cleaning himself and changed his clothes with a simple new outfit delivered by the maid, at her request.
The journey is more than enough. He carried a hefty sum of money in a bag on his waist, as he placed it on a small table beside his bed, there were still a few silver tails there.
Qian Ren only wanted to meet with Xiao Yi, for a few days it didn't matter.
Drowsiness had not immediately attacked him despite the exhaustion crushes his body. He ran away from Youwu through all his father's guard not without reason.
He heard for himself his father ordered his eldest brother to attack and set fire to the training camp where commander Xiao Xie, the father of Xiao Yi lived, for three more days. Coinciding with the coronation of the king's consort.
And on the same day, the queen mother had already arranged for Xiao Yi to drink the wine poison pledge allegiance right at the time she accepted herself as Yanzhi queen in Guangli's main hall.
At the main empress's appointment ritual, the sun is directly overhead, the woman who will be the rector of the Harem palace and the number one woman in Yanzhi must drink the Chengnuo wine or the wine of the loyalty agreement to the king and the country.
The wine would be self-declared by the king, before the empress was officially summoned by the queen and received the crown and seal of the queen.
Qian Ren laid his body on the small, simple couch, his mind floating about. Somehow the last few days that filled her head were concubines of Yuan. The beautiful and jovial face alternately piled on top of the shadow of Xiao Yi's face.
The strange unrest, the strong sense of compassion and a pinch of fear made him unable to stop thinking about the concubine Yuan now called Madam Chie Yuan, ever since His Majesty gave the letter of release from marriage.
But, unfortunate enough for a widow from the king in Yanzhi, she would not be allowed to get along and marry another man before getting the seal of the main Empress.
The seal was now in the hands of the queen mother as a surrogate guardian because the main empress had not been appointed by the king, something impossible the queen mother would give it with such great pleasure because Qian Ren knew, well, suri's mother was a plot of her father in a rebellion soon. The queen mother was one of those who strongly opposed the king's divorce with concubine Chie Yuan.
Qian Ren did not refuse, he began to like the former concubine of the king who was also a friend of Xiao Yi. But he could not shake the shadow of Xiao Yi the girl of his first love in Youwu.
Away from afar, Xiao's voice was heard, a flute instrument blown by a person singing the tune of a verse, the traveler's music from the rhyme "hen nan zai kai hua" which tells of a heartbreak like a flower Difficult to bloom again.
The night descended like mist, bringing a pile of faces into the recollection recesses
Why am I upset, who do I really love tomorrow?
Why should I be worried about who I am with in the future?
Something was missing, something suddenly came?
Who can withstand the time that goes on in destiny?
If thinking about you is a crime, then,
then I'm ready to endure it.
I'm the only one drowning in my drunkenness, while you don't see me.
It was always me who was chosen by the heavens to experience it.
It is hard to step like a hard flower to bloom again
Love that has been connected, does anyone know where the end is?
The journey is so long, the journey is too steep.
If thinking about you is a crime, then,
let me endure it.
Although it's too hard to go back"
Qian Ren was very familiar with the strands of flute that was haunting at once slashing from Xiao's blower who had somewhere.
The verse was very often written by him since Xiao Yi had chosen to decide all things concerning him.
His cowardly soul or his fear of fighting for Xiao Yi might be like the stamp given by the girl his father had sent as his sacrificial concubine, but one thing was certain, why would Qian Ren better let this love go and hate her for life, which is that she loves Xiao Yi too much.
Qian Ren was able to do anything to see Xiao Yi smile, no matter his own body slashed by the sword, no matter his heart crumbled dimly.
Qian Ren's eyes were closed, the tiredness attacking along with the drowsiness blown by the night wind.
When he was almost asleep by the exhaustion, his ears suddenly heard a strange sigh.
Just as his eyes were opening, a pair of body figures in black clothes stood on the edge of his bed a pair of hands covered his mouth and in the following shock, a pair of hands stood, he had not been able to move and make a sound tootokan stop at the top of his neck.
...***...
A strange smell of sandalwood wafted out in the slightly stuffy air.
Qian Ren opened his eyes slowly, the pain at the top of his neck felt intense.
The first time he saw was an empty basement with stone walls.
Above it is the ground which is supported by pillars of stone.
The hallway extends on some of its edges, there are torches of bamboo. The fire that swerved in the mouth of the bamboo was what illuminated the room. The only one in the room was himself with no one in sight.
Qian Ren was about to make a move, but his legs and hands were still tightly bound.
With all his might Qian Ren straightened his body from a curled-up lying position.
Then lean against the stone wall of the basement.
"Where am I?" Qian Ren shook his head which still felt dizzy. Someone had kidnapped him from the suburban inn of Yubei.
"You're sober..." The heavy voice of a man from one end of the hall made Qian Ren realize it was not just him in the room.
In a corner stood a tall, straight body wrapped in black cloth, his face covered in a black veil.
"Where am I?" Qian Ren looked up at his face.
"You're in my basement." Answer the man.
"If it's not a mistake, I seem to know your face enough." He said again while standing in his place.
Qian Ren was speechless, he faintly recalled, having heard this person's voice, which was cold and sharp at the same time.
"You seem to be the son of governor Youwu, the cunning Qian Lie." he continued after a long moment of staring in full probing at Qian Ren.
"You'll regret treating me like this! My father will catch you." Grunts Qian Ren with a threatening voice.
"I'm not afraid of your father." Answer this mysterious man as he approaches.
"You or your father, same thing, coward!"
He lowered his knees until he touched the floor, while his left arm rested on the other knee that bent.
His hand slowly lifted Qian Ren's chin with his warm right hand.
"See who caught you?" The question sounded cold, then he slowly pulled the veil from his face.
Qian Ren was stunned to see the figure who was now turning that cynical smile on her.
The handsome face of a man he was very familiar with!
