OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 132 GUARDING FROM THE DARKNESS
Xiao Yi and Yan Yue were inside the tomb for a long time, the noble one told him some history of Yanzhi kingdom for him just to provide knowledge regarding the ancestors of the kings.
Xiao Yi was not focused on all of His Majesty's stories, which were in his head, appearing several times was the contents of the letter from Master Zhao Juren.
He was very curious from the intention of the young commander sending the letter to him, the word Mu Dan which means peony flower refers to the name for himself while the protector of course he called himself Zhao Juren himself. Back when he was a kidnap victim in Youwu and master Zhao Juren saved him, promising to be a protector to Xiao Yi, he had made a one-sided agreement, even though Xiao Yi had never agreed to it.
If you look at the word protector, Zhao Juren might want to say something related about her security.
It was just a guess by Xiao Yi himself, even though he had no feelings for the man but he did not know why he believed in him.
As he exited the tomb chamber of the kings, Xiao Yi watched his surroundings silently, he slightly expected to find master Zhao Juren among the bodyguards who numbered nearly hundreds of people.
Until they came out of the main temple, nothing showed the presence of the young commander.
Now that Xiao Yi was thinking, perhaps Zhao Juren was just making a joke with him.
It was already dark when they came out from inside the Zuihou temple, Her Majesty seemed satisfied to have brought Xiao Yi, her calom empress met with people who loved her, she said, the late king and queen, now lying in their icy tombs, had settled down with the ancestors for having lived as honorable people, leading the country of Yanzhi to the end of their lives.
"Your Majesty after this we should visit the temple of the brothers of the king."Kasim chen. His Majesty nodded his head, visiting the royal brothers' tomb temple a must after visiting the king's tomb, as a form of homage to the king's blood relatives. But visiting the temple The king's wives are not an obligation and may be ignored, if not the son or close relative of one of the king's wives buried there.
"Chenxing, are you coming with me?"His Majesty asked hesitantly, looking at the wajh Xiao Yi who looked a little tense and tired.
"Can I not go there?"Xiao Yi asked, a little nervous.
"You can wait in the stretcher until I get back if you're too tired."His Majesty gazed towards Xiao Yi's stomach, a pregnant woman with a large enough stomach it was certainly not easy to follow these rituals and His Majesty understood them very much.
"Servant Cun, please watch over concubine Yi until I return, I only burn incense on the tombs of the king's brothers."
Cun's bodyguards bowed obediently.
"Your Majesty..." Answer the bodyguard Cun.
Not long after His Majesty's entourage disappeared behind the door of the temple on the right.
"Cun Guards, just drop me off on a stretcher, I feel very tired" Xiao Yi told Cun's bodyguard. The guard gave orders to six other guards to follow him to the king's large palanquin, which was carried by ten men at once.
The palanquin was usually climbed by the king alone, but His Majesty did not want Xiao Yi on a separate stretcher with him.
Xiao Yi was helped by Chu Cu into the stretcher. Then with a sense of relief Xiao Yi sat inside that fairly wide stretcher.
Suddenly Chu Cu walked in while bowing his body, trembling he handed over a purple velvet bag, inside which was a blue Chai kumala, a small folded letter, along with other letters that are so shabby that they may have been opened and folded hundreds of times and a wooden hairpick with a lotus flower engraving on the edge.
"A bodyguard who resembled Mr. Zhao earlier told me to deliver it to the Madam, he said he returned these items to the owner" Chu Cu half-whispered in slight fear. He was afraid that the guards not far from the palanquin heard what he said.
Xiao Yi nodded his head silently, a sign he understood. Then with a slight hint of Chu Cu coming out immediately, he did not want His Majesty to return and find Chu Cu inside that palanquin.
Chu Cu immediately came out, Xiao Yi entered all the items into his cloak sleeves with a thousand questions in his heart, how could all of his items be coming from the same person that was Old Zhao.
The chai was once removed in front of the medicinal house of physician Guo, the letter was dropped on the way to Chue Lian's palace while the lotus hair pin was as he remembered it was taken by Jiu Fei from his head.
Now the three items were returned o; eh the same person, that is Mr. Zhao Juren. XIao Yi was completely inexhaustible about all of that.
***
The night fell so fast it crept unbearably, the earth was covered in darkness. There was no moon that usually rose indifferently only the stars that suddenly appeared, as if wiping out the trail of rain all afternoon.
A man in the clothes of a most beautiful bodyguard on his horse, looked up at the sky above him.Winds blew, blowing yellowing wild grass parallel to the belly of his horse. The grasses glitter in the dark, golden color if hit by the sun will usually look like a golden wave in the wind from the north.
How the creeping sadness could not be brushed aside, because it could not hand over with its own hands all the belongings of Xiao Yi. But his heart still felt relieved, at least he was happy to see the woman he loved was in a good state.
In that velvet bag, he had already written about the poisoning plan to Xiao Yi. Zhao Juren knew Xiao Yi was a very intelligent woman. He will be able to protect himself in his own way. A warning was enough, and Zhao Juren only needed to watch from afar.
His life was tragic but he really did not regret it, at least he could still protect Xiao Yi from within his dark corner.
His sympathetic feelings for the queen mother, slowly gradually disappeared, his heart became icy cold, how his soul became indecisive. Her aunt's mistake had grown so far and she had to stop it immediately.
He threw his horse down the hill when from afar he saw the king's retinue moving away from the temple of Zuihou.
"Xiao Yi take care of yourself..."
