OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 61 THE PALACE OF A MILLION JEALOUSIES

"Chenxing...?" His Majesty was stunned in shock by Xiao Yi's appearance that was so messy.

"Consort Yi...!" Eunuch Chen was no less surprised.

They were both in their own place. Still confused by Xiao Yi's presence.

Xiao Yi rushed to His Majesty's table, then sat down like a person who had lost strength. Pulling roughly the bowl of soup in front of His Majesty, until it almost fell off the edge of the table.

"The chenxing? You why?" His Majesty got up from his seat hugging Xiao Yi whose breath was running low. His Majesty's face was now so anxious.

Xiao Yi shook his head, his mouth twitching, about to say something but not a word he could say.

His wet eyes drenched in tears, staring at His Majesty and the soup bowl on the table alternately. Like waiting for something to happen.

The soup was almost empty, His Majesty almost ate the entire contents. Xiao Yi's heart seemed to stop beating. In an instant he felt dizzy, his stomach was nauseous, his fear at greatly made him short of breath.

"Your Majesty.." Xiao Yi's head felt heavy, his gaze was so blurred, his head felt like it was hovering.

"Your Majesty.I really didn't do it." Xiao Yi gripped onto His Majesty's sleeves, trying to make sure His Majesty was still freshly fit before him.

"Your Majesty, don't die..." Xiao Yi drooped in His Majesty's embrace, he lost his consciousness.

...***...

Xiao Yi tried to open his eyes slowly, but felt very heavy.

Over and over he heard a few voices that were mutually simple.

"The soup is poisonous, healer Guo has examined it. The poison is the poison of the ice lilies, which only blooms once a year in winter on the banks of the Yalu river."That's the Queen mother's voice.

"Your Majesty knows where that place is? that place was in Youwu province, where concubine Yi came from."

"But I've eaten the same soup as Yuan's concubine, and nothing has happened to me."There was a clear voice His Majesty spoke.

"All the evidence points to concubine Yi, the one who made and brought the soup to concubine Yuan" the Queen's voice went up.

"Concubine Yi doesn't necessarily do it, we can't punish people recklessly!"

Your Majesty sounds tense.

"If anything happens to concubine Yuan, then His Majesty must answer what to governor Shicuan. Consort Yuan was her son, she would not stay silent over what her daughter was going through"

"Tonight, be decisive, if concubine Yuan dies from this poison, then no one can save concubine Yi, not even His Majesty himself" Those words were so sharp and loud. It even made Xiao Yi shiver despite being between conscious and unconscious.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes, and he realized he was in his own bed. Lying with changed clothes.

Perhaps Chu Cu had already done so as long as he was unconscious.

His Majesty stood behind him, only his black robe seemed to loom over the scene. In front of him stood Suri's mother and concubine Nuo.

For the first time in his life, Xiao Yi felt so weak and helpless.

His body is weak and not even his brain can not think.

He was completely inexhaustible, What mistake he had made, thus making Yuan's concubine affected by this calamity.

And even more incomprehensible to him, the poison was only about concubine Yuan, while His Majesty was not. They ate the soup made by Xiao Yi with the same pot.

Xiao Yi's movements immediately made it known to everyone in the room that Xiao Yi had come to his senses.

"Now that concubine Yi has regained consciousness, let the officers interrogate her inside the detention center." The Queen Mother said, her eyes sharply pointed at Xiao Yi.

His Majesty turned his back, looking at Xiao Yi with his red eyes, there seemed to be a great amount of anger in the pias of the face.

"There is no reason for concubine Yi to poison concubine Yuan." Said His Majesty in a low tone as if to himself.

"Your Majesty never knew, the harem palace was a palace that harbored a million jealousies. There is no need for a compelling reason to make people kill each other if they are jealous. I have seen many events long before this even more tragic, just because of being burned with jealousy. I have lived for a long time in this harem, Your Majesty. Longer than Your Majesty!" Suri's mother's words sounded so cynical.

"Concubine Yi did not have any jealousy on concubine Yuan!" Resolute Your Majesty, his eyes did not turn from the body that was now lying with a tense and innocent face on the bed.

"Your Majesty may be right, Empress Dowager.Know that my younger brother Yi has no jealousy whatsoever towards younger brother Yuan. They were good friends in the harem palace. Perhaps Suri's mother could consider this." Suddenly concubine Nuo came along to speak.

Xiao Yi looked at their faces one by one. Three people who seemed to be arguing about him. Eunuch Chen and bodyguard Jian stood in a corner like a statue. While Chu Cu was sitting quietly under his bed.

The face was filled with tears, her fingers squeezing each other tensed up in front of her face.

"Concubine Nuo, you don't need to defend concubine Yi for what she has done. Every crime must be rewarded. Don't you see, there's nothing concubine Yi can prove to make herself innocent" Suri's mother's hand in hand with her chin raised.

"I'm not guilty..."Suhut Xiao Yi with all his strength.

He really didn't want to be punished for a crime he never committed.

"I can prove it, that His Majesty also ate the same soup, but nothing happened to him. If the soup I made was poisonous, then His Majesty would also experience something similar to concubine Yuan." Xiao Yi tried to get up from his bed with great difficulty.

"Now do you want to say what concubine Yi is?

You want to make people believe that someone has slandered you and made you a scapegoat for some reason? Tell me, who do you think can do that to you?" The Queen Mother approached the place where Xiao Yi was sitting on the bedside.

Xiao Yi fell silent, not knowing what to answer. He really felt that the country was cornered. All the fingers seemed to be pointing at him.

"He must be taken to His Majesty's place of detention, you must not be weak even to your own concubine. Be fair, for the one lying dying in the other room is also your concubine!" The Queen Mother squinted her eyes at His Majesty.

His Majesty stared back at the Queen Mother for a moment, then turned to the very heartless Xiao Yi.

"Bring concubine Yi into the detention room now, let her be interrogated by the officer tomorrow morning as a suspect!" His Majesty stared intently at concubine Yi. Then violently turned around stepping out of the room, accompanied by a satisfied look from the queen mother.

Two bodyguards after being gestured by Suri's mother immediately held onto Consort Yi's two hands, preparing to drag her.

"Let him walk alone towards the holding room! No one can touch it!" his Majesty's voice so loudly echoed, half growling though without turning his body, making the two bodyguards fearfully take off Xiao Yi's hand.

"Jian, make sure concubine Yi tonight is in the holding room, and no one can find her!"

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it!" Xiao Yi exclaimed with a trembling body.

His Majesty did not reply, only his head turned briefly to Jian's bodyguard, making sure the bodyguard did his orders.
