OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 130 SECRET LETTER

Xiao Yi was awakened by the sound of someone's footsteps sounding smooth entering near his contest, in the vast and desolate Rongyu hall he was waiting for the arrival of the noble, out of unbearable boredom he finally fell asleep.

I do not know how long the young concubine who was pregnant almost five months had slept, with a large stomach of most gestational age sepantarannya. Yes, because the twins in her stomach make her look like an old pregnant person.

"Mrs..."It was a voice that Xiao Yi was very familiar with, the voice of Chu Cu his servant.

Xiao Yi raised his head and leaned lazily on the back of the large, dragon-carved bed that His Majesty was in.

"What's up, Chu Cu? is there a message from His Majesty?" xiao Yi asked as he raised his eyebrows, he recalled His Majesty's promise to take him somewhere this afternoon. But until Chu Cu brought the snack food by late afternoon he had not received any news from His Majesty.

He only sat all day until afternoon inside the palace of Rongyu, the residence of the king.

"Madam, someone left a letter for His Majesty." Chu Cu said hesitantly, in her clenched hands seemed to be hiding something.

"Letter?" Xiao Yi straightened his body.

Half-descended Chu Cu pulled out a piece of bamboo that was smaller than the pinky of children.

"From who?" Xiao Yi asked in a slightly puzzled manner, the letter looked extremely secretive.

"I don't know, ma'am..when I returned to Xingwu palace, I found inside a flower basket delivered by Suri's mother's harem."

"From Harem's queen mother?" Xiao Yi got off the bed with a more curious face.

The loose light blue dress made of silk fluttered slightly, the wind felt even colder, outside it looked like it was drizzling rain. Strange weather, the last rain in autumn feels colder indeed.

"Get me some warm water." Xiao Yi gestured for Chu Cu to come out, his complexion feeling even colder now, as curiosity crept in.

At the pull of the opaque white paper tip from inside the small bamboo as wide as the Meihua twig, with his fingers suddenly became sweaty.

Then slowly in the absence of the letter paper, his eyes did not find any writing there. Just an elongated paper with a length of an adult.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, examined the small bamboo back where the paper scroll had been inserted. There is a lantern-like carving, very small almost invisible.

Gently rubbed using his cold fingertips, faintly on his finger marks appeared a picture of a flame tongue.

Xiao Yi understood the code on the image, that the blank paper should be placed near the fire, that there might be something hidden there, a secret message typical of spies or the military.

Xiao Yi's father was a commander at the border who trained some people as border guards from since he was a child, of course he knew the matter of secret letters like this.

Slowly he approached His Majesty's desk, lighting a lamp on the table. His fingers were comfortable as he approached the warm light. It was wide and placed it on the light.

Suddenly appear one by one letter on the paper making a small line of writing.

No matter how small the writing was, Xiao Yi knew him very well. There were strange curves on some of the letters that made Xiao Yi unable to forget them just like that.

Yes, it was the writing of Mr. Zhao Juren, the man once wrote a letter to her, asking to meet, once after the Chusi celebration in spring.

Xiao Yi's cold eyes flashed strangely, there it was written,

Zuihou Temple under the nine stars

by tonight...

The writing on the line below him, made Xiao Yi's eyes unblink,

Seeing you...

Like a high moon, though,

Your light is dim but enough

for me to walk

Xiao Yi knew very well, it was a poem he had written for His Majesty on the eve of the spring festival, the paper fell out of his pocket as he walked hastily towards Chue Lian's palace.

He thought the letter was lost somewhere, but never thought that the commander Zhao Juren was the one who had found it.

The spatter outside the rongyu palace fell on the roof, sounding like a rhythmic twang. The silk curtains in the luxurious palace room seemed to be slightly swayed, in the cold afternoon wind with a drizzling rain that seemed to have no promise to stop immediately.

Chu Cu emerged from behind the door carrying a porcelain potty tray and a glass, apparently brewing warm tea for Xiao Yi, helping his master ward off the cold.

"Chu Cu, did Eunuch Chen exist to convey how much longer His Majesty will arrive?" asked Xiao Yi.

"No mistress." Answer Chu Cu.

Xiao Yi's chest felt thumping, he became very worried. Did he have to tell His Majesty about this letter from Zhao Juren, like when he said it bluntly while receiving a letter from Jiu Fey, a few weeks earlier.

But, the poem he wrote was very disturbing to his mind. He was afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand if he said Zhao Juren wanted to meet in secret with him.

And if Your Majesty does the same, stand listening to them speak, he was worried that Zhao Juren would say things that made His Majesty misunderstand even more regarding his relationship with Zhao Juren.

But leaving tonight alone was a difficult thing, he already had an appointment with His Majesty to go somewhere.

Xiao Yi sighed with the same concern, he might have to ignore Zhao Juren's letter, even though he had a hunch Zhao Juren wanted to convey something important.

Slowly put the tip of the letter on a small licking fire pit, a moment later the secret letter had been burned to ashes by which it was placed in a burning bowl on His Majesty's table.

The rest of the fire inside the bowl was reddened leaving a small smoke, as His Majesty arrived. In his great black robe embroidered with gold embroidered with dragon, the handsome king was so dashing, even though his spirit was a little tired and impatient.

"Chenxing.after the rain subsides we'll go where I promised." He said with sumringah.

"Where?" Xiao Yi asked to bring out his shock due to the sudden arrival of His Majesty. Xiao Yi stood up in his arms as he took off His Majesty's coat.

"ZuiHou Temple." His Majesty's short answer stunned Xiao Yi for a moment.

Is this a coincidence or is it fate that the heavens have written down?
