OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 57 IS HONEST ABOUT THE PAST

Xiao Yi hugged His Majesty tightly, how that calm and relieved feeling made him no longer able to hold his urge. His Majesty dropped his body next to Xiao Yi and hugged the girl no less tightly.

His Majesty kissed the girl's half wet hair many times. The place where they lie is damp, but they really don't care. Xiao Yi's head infiltrated His Majesty's chest, it felt so calm to hear the heartbeat of the man he now fully loved.

"Being the wife of a king is not easy. I can't promise a quiet, waveless life. Everything can be dangerous and hell." His Majesty said again. His eyes glared over the girl's head.

"But one thing I can promise you, Chenxing, I will protect you in whatever hell we have to go through. I'll carry you through the coals, if I have to.

As long as you believe and love me, I will never leave you."

Xiao Yi further buried his head in His Majesty's open chest. Cowering there like a baby looking for warmth.

"Can you promise not to leave me?" ask Your Majesty, gently.

"I will hold your hand, wherever you go, Your Majesty, wherever you go..." Xiao Yi replied, pulling his hand slowly, fingers pressed against His Majesty's breastplate. As if trying to catch His Majesty's heartbeat.

"You remember, Chenxing.in Xiuxi's house I once said, a king is a lonely lion." His Majesty stroked Xiao Yi's hair that was beginning to dry.

Xiao Yi nodded his head, in His Majesty's embrace.

"Many love me, but no less many want to drop me into the steepest abyss. Power too high is always dangerous to hold, even threatening anyone too close to me."

Xiao Yi listened without a sound,

"Sometimes I think it's best to walk alone for the rest of my life. But, humanly, I can't deny my feelings for wanting you.

For someone like me, loving is almost like holding a burnt leaf, when I try to hold it, it sometimes breaks in my hand.

No matter how much I try, sometimes I fail to keep it intact."

His Majesty sighed in a tightness.

"I lost Jiu Fei, because I wanted to take her to the highest place with me."

Xiao Yi was speechless, Jiu Fei's name felt so deeply mentioned by His Majesty, that Xiao Yi bristled at hearing it.

Either his feelings are so deep in the woman or because of the regret that is so difficult to express.

Xiao Yi was not jealous, just a little envious, how His Majesty had loved the girl almost in half the course of his life.

Such love, how could he possibly rival her.

"I loved him, long ago! When he was so sure about saving my life on the slopes of Yanshan Mountain. As he used his back to hold the arrow pointed at me."

Now Xiao Yi grimaced, listening to His Majesty's story. His heart felt pierced by thorns, would the same taste be felt by His Majesty if he told about how great his affection used to be for a Qian Ren?

"I fell in love with her, as she was wearing maid clothes infiltrating my camp, carrying a basin of water to clean my body after the war on the Niangxi border. I fell in love with her, as she stood by me, passing through the loneliness of the battlefield. I won't lie to you, Chenxing, that I once loved her so much and thought she was the first and last woman of my life."

So many words of love were spoken by His Majesty, making Xiao Yi close his eyes firmly.

"But that old love leaves only a longing for revenge and regret, it is impossible to force back something that can never go home. Can't possibly expect, something that's been lost." The bitter sound became felt loose.

"I just don't want to repeat the same mistake. It made me lose someone I love so much. I realize you guys are different people, therefore there is nothing you should be afraid of if one day I remember Jiu Fei then I will leave Chenxing. I may never forget him as someone who was in my life. Loving you is a choice for me. I've chosen to love you for the rest of my life." His Majesty grabbed onto Xiao Yi's chin which was staring at him pushyly, in an unfathomable feeling.

"I choose to be honest with you now, Chenxing. Before you hear a lot of things ahead that will make you doubt me." His Majesty's face was so calm.

Xiao Yi who was half looked up, letting His Majesty caress his chin gently.

"Now can you tell me how much you loved Qian Ren?"

His Majesty's question was so gentle, almost inaudible but like thunder in Xiao Yi's ears.

Really, he never expected His Majesty to know about his relationship with Qian Ren in the past.

And, Xiao Yi was so astonished, why was His Highness so light as to know nothing, letting him meet Qian Ren even twice inside this palace?

"Did Your Majesty know, or has he known for a long time? Does Your Majesty just test it or does His Majesty have a specific purpose?" all those questions swirled around Xiao Yi's head.

"Since when did His Majesty find out about Qian Ren?" xiao Yi asked slowly.

"Let me only know when I know the truth. That's not important at all. I just want to know how much you love her?" the tone of voice that was without emphasis, still felt so demanding in Xiao Yi's ears.

"I love Qian Ren, not as much as His Majesty loves Jiu Fei..." Xiao Yi said with a trembling voice. The strange jealousy was floating even though Xiao Yi did not want to admit to his heart but was truly indestructible, a jealousy of the past that he did not even know about.

"I love Qian Ren, when I believe her half-dead, that she deserves me! I love Qian Ren, when I think all of her words I can hold. Unfortunately he let me go, without ever making me feel like a person worth fighting for."Xiao Yi's voice felt so bland but sharp.

"I've stopped loving Qian Ren, Yue.I can even stop without having to study again. Almost without heartbreak. Because I've fallen in love with someone else."

His Majesty's unblinking eyes watched the girl in his arms, listening without interrupting.

"I'm not in love with His Majesty..."

Xiao Yi said confidently, making His Majesty stiffen.

"I've fallen in love with Yue." that last sentence, made His Majesty unable to resist kissing Xiao Yi's lips with haru. It felt, he wanted to swallow all the words of love from the lips of the girl to the point of no silence.

They reciprocated offering each other warmth, spilling again all the feelings they had been craving. To throw away the deepest sorrow.

Saving the past for yourself is sometimes best, but being honest about the past is courage.
