OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 129 THREAT AHEAD OF CORONATION

"The queen mother will poison Xiao Yi at the time of her coronation, through the wine of the covenant." Qian Ren replied, with a slightly doubtful tone.

"Where do you know about this?"

"My father under the orders of the queen mother sent some items from his family in Youwu, there is one item tucked in a fragrance bottle that contains a frost poison that will blend in with all types of wine without detectable taste and smell. If Xiao Yi were to drink it then in a matter of minutes he would die."

Zhao Juren was dumbfounded at everything Qian Ren said. He did not even know that there was such a poison especially the mother-of-law's plan to never give up on harming Xiao Yi.

"That stuff won't escape the checkpoint of the stuff that goes into the palace." Zhao Juren snorted, she was not sure such a plan could work.

"Don't underestimate their plans, Mr. Zhao. The Queen Mother had arranged it as mature as possible, nothing was missed from her plan. At the time at the checkpoint of goods entering the palace, the queen mother will tell the officer who has been in her custody to be one of the examiners to smuggle it for use in time." Qian Ren knew so much that he heard himself accidentally when his father instructed this matter in his personal space.

"They won't be able to make the poison reach the wine cellar. The people there were all Yan Yue's property."

"People's loyalty can be bought by Mr. Zhao." Qian Ren said sharply.

"Did the Queen Mother really seriously want to overthrow His Highness Yan Yue?" suddenly that question full of doubt came out of Zhao Juren's mouth.

"My father seems to be very serious in following all the orders of the queen mother. The troops my father sent will arrive before the coronation day. So did the subordinate people of the governor of Handong and the southern clan. As one who holds the reins of the military, you may not even know, your character has used half of your army within the king's city to move on that great feast day."

Zhao Juren did not say, he knew some irregularities in the king's city guards, but his men had made sure nothing serious happened even if there was a little riot on that day.

Just to satisfy her aunt's feelings, Zhao Juren had been quiet for quite a while.

All this time she had turned a blind eye to all the ambitions of the queen mother, but she had no idea that the queen mother really wanted to make all her fantasies come true, take power and only he has the right to control it.

Zhao Juren actually disagreed with her aunt, but she never quite frankly opposed it, because all this time she thought her aunt was just bluffing to have Yan Yue obey her.

But when the queen mother tried to hurt Xiao Yi, she could not help but shut up.

"I'll take care of it..." Zhao Juren said later.

"How is it?" qian Ren asked.

"You don't need to know that, I'm sure I won't let anyone harm consort Yi." Zhao Juren replied in response to Qian Ren's unconvinced question.

"You, go home to Youwu immediately before anyone suspects you, especially your father and my aunt. Or you'll be beaten all out."

Tukas Zhao Juren, then pointed at a crossroads that was at the end of the passageway.

"Keep to the left, you will meet a subordinate of mine, who is guarding the exit, the end of this passageway ends in the bamboo forest. This road will go there. He'll give you a horse and enough stock for you to go home."

"I want to see Yi'er."

" Don't be stubborn.You better go back to Youwu alone. If you insist on adding trouble." Zhao Juren turned her head, trying to make sense of the man who had all the same feelings as her to a beloved concubine of the king.

"Whenever you try to meet concubine Yi, it won't be easy. Consort Yi was in strict guard before the day of coronation."

Zhao Juren said resolutely before leaving the still dumbstruck Qian Ren where she stood.

...***...

It was almost morning, but the sky was so dark. Eve gripped from winter as if coming early.

His clothes made of white rice linen and lrmbut it looks contrast with the blanket that is velvet.

He was not alone on top of his comfortable bed, there was His Highness Yan Yue hugging his waist which was already so widened it was due to its increasingly large content.

He stared at the handsome face of His Majesty, who was sound asleep next to him.

How strange, observing the face of a king who was notoriously quiet and always acted carefully.

King Yan Yue while being with Xiao Yi was as if without any burden at all, sleeping as if undisturbed by anything.

The pain rattled in those sturdy strokes of his face, now gradually fading with a smile that rarely missed when he was near Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi himself felt astonished at himself, he still felt in love with her husband.

His sadness, his solitude was like magic that made Xiao Yi unable to be far too long with him.

"Maxing..." His Majesty's eyes opened slowly, startling Xiao Yi who was observing His Majesty's face.

"Why are you looking at me weirdly?" That question made Xiao Yi blush.

"His Majesty is awake?" Xiao Yi covered up her embarrassment, realizing she was being caught being amazed at her own husband's face.

"When you wake up, I can't refuse to be awake." Answer His Majesty.

"I'm afraid you're suddenly gone from my side." Continue His Majesty with his lazy voice.

"I'm not going anywhere, Your Majesty." Xiao Yi stroked His Majesty's hair gently.

His Majesty sighed in relief, hearing the reply from X, Xiao Yi, even though he was just making small talk about it, because there was no way Xiao Yi would disappear from next to him without his permission inside the royal palace.

"His Majesty will sleep again?" Xiao Yi frowned at His Majesty who was in no mood to open his eyes again.

"I want to sleep a little while." His Majesty said without opening his eyes, his hands tightly clinging to Xiao Yi's body.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly at her, he did not try to speak anymore, not wanting to disturb His Majesty's sleep.

"Maxing..." Suddenly His Majesty opened his mouth breaking the silence that had occurred .

"Hm..."

"I'll take you somewhere when I get home from the guangli hall today." His Majesty said, his eyes are still in a closed state.

"Where?" Xiao Yi asked with a curious look.

"It's somewhere to meet people who love me." Answer His Mystery Majesty.
