OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 41 THE PRICE TO PAY
Concubine Mei's eyes now sparkled confidently, closing her eyes, enjoying the touch the man before her would give her.
Concubine Mei did not taste the wine she poured, but she felt very drunk. Concubine Mei was so drunk expecting Her Majesty's Touch.
The touch rose from the elbow of concubine Mei and moved onto her shoulder, slowly and carefully. Hardly about Consort May's skin.
"Concubine May..." His Majesty called out to him in a voice that felt hoarse. The smell of wine was in the air. Up to Consort Mei's nose, as if hinting at how close her face was to Her Majesty's now.
Concubine Mei shook her delicate hand as if waiting, hoping that Her Majesty would continue with everything Her Majesty did. His imagination runs wild.
"Wear your clothes properly, because the morning will be very cold soon"
Concubine Mei opened her eyes.
His Majesty looked at that face sharply,
"Are you not ashamed, act like a cheap woman. Appreciate a little of yourself, don't cheat, it just makes you worthless"
His Majesty's voice was like growling, with eyes splashing like an angry fox.
His Majesty stood on the edge of the table, albeit with some sway.
Concubine Mei looked up with her mouth half-opened, still distrustful of the treatment she was receiving.
It turned out that Her Majesty had only raised the sagging sleeves of her dress, returning it to its original place. It barely touched his skin at all.
"I paid Chushi tonight by keeping my promise to spend the night with you. It's past midnight now. I have to go back to my room."
his Majesty grabbed his coat that was lying on the floor.
Then with eyes that were red like embers he crouched down and held the chin of concubine Mei with his finger.
"Don't you ever do the same thing again to concubine Yi, because if you oppress her one more time, I won't hesitate to send you back to Handong!" His noble voice spoke in a cold voice but filled with the pressure of anger trying to hold it.
Concubine Mei was only stunned with round shiny eyes, her lips quivering with a crimson face.
He bowed towards the door with a wounded heart, his pride as if stepped on the red ground.
His Majesty had humiliated him and left him like a disgusting piece of trash.
The water melted like rain on a palm leaf. The thread dripped all the way to his smooth chin. How expensive the price he had to pay for a fraud he had made.
His Majesty even threatened him, for the sake of a concubine Yi. He only realized, His Majesty was only pretending to defend him in front of everyone just to make concubine Yi not lose her face in public.
Now he felt, he had been humbled by His Majesty in such a way. Revenge burned his soul, all the way to his bones. His white teeth to the point of clamoring to hold back his feelings that were filled with hatred.
His Majesty walked towards the door with shaky and heavy steps, molars looking clenched hard. Concubine Mei might be able to try to trap her with wine, but Her Majesty is a person who has been on good terms with wine ever since she lived in loneliness at Jiu Fei's abandon many years ago.
Although his body may be drunk but his head can still be conscious.
His Majesty was really angry, he could never see Xiao Yi being made to suffer, his heart was as sliced as he recalled the girl's bewildered and frightened look under Suri's mother's sharp gaze.
His heart was like it was being torn apart, upon seeing the person who had secretly definitely replaced Jiu Fei's shadow of his lonely and miserable life.
Even though he knew correctly his Chenxing loved other men.
"Yes..." His Eminence Yan Yue almost felt so real hearing Xiao Yi's call in her ears.
"Yue...Yue...Yue...!" only Xiao Yi was allowed by him to call out his little name other than Jiu Fei. His Majesty shook his head removing himself from his own hallucinations.
Eunuch Chen and Jian's bodyguard greeted the king at the door in astonishment.
"Your Majesty.." Eunuch Chen took the mantle that was in His Majesty's hands and dressed it to His Majesty.
"We're going back to Rongyu...!" Said his Majesty.
His Majesty did not listen too much to the words of the Jian bodyguards. He just walked around, ignoring the people around him, walking down the concubine's guesthouses that lined up along the harem palace. His heart was really feeling very messed up right now.
Eunuch Chen and some of the bodyguards followed in His Highness Yang's footsteps in dismay. His Highness was drunk, he walked without noticing what was in front of him.
His Majesty's steps came to a halt in front of a guesthouse. He raised his head for a moment staring at the inscription carving above his gate. Wisma Xingwu's.
The pale face with the trembling body of Xiao Yi flashed back in his mind, the girl who was already quite familiar in some of her secret missions, both to the temple of Sunyen and out of the palace environment that makes it in the midst of anxiety.
Is he really sick? or am I being too hard on her?
The whisper in his heart felt stifled, His Majesty now could not fight against his heart that was so anxious towards Xiao Yi, his feet stepping towards the door of the Homestead.
"Your Majesty, this is Xingwu's guesthouse.not Rongyu." Tegur Eunuch Chen.
His Highness did not care about the eunuch's reprimand, he was probably drunk but still conscious enough to see that this was Xingwu's guesthouse.
Two guards were not far from the entrance.
They saluted hurriedly, not expecting the arrival of His Majesty the King at the very late midnight of this time.
"Do we have to announce the arrival of His Majesty...?"
"No need!" replied His Majesty in a lowered voice.
When he arrived at the door, Chu Cu seemed to have just come out from within carrying a basin and a small bowl like a medicine brewing container.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Cu immediately bowed stuttering.
His Majesty put his finger on his lips,
"Mrs is asleep, Your Majesty, do I have to wake her to inform her of His Majesty's arrival?" ask Chu Cu.
"Not necessary, "
His Majesty's eyes were fixed on the small bowl inside the tray that Chu Chu was carrying.
"Did your lady really hurt? " there was a tinge of anxiety in his raucous voice.
"Mrs is just exhausted, Your Majesty, the healer has given her a medicinal herb. Now the Madam is resting." Answer Chu Cu.
His Majesty let out a heavy sigh, that brilliance soon subsided.
"I'll see it inside..." His Majesty said in a soft voice, as if afraid that his voice would wake the occupants inside.
"I'll wake the madam to His Majesty."
"No, I'm going in now."
Chu Cu immediately stepped aside giving way, letting His Majesty through the door. Eunuch Chen closed the door of the room slowly after which Eunuch Chen and Chu Cu looked at each other.
