OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 68 REVENGE IN SILENCE
The atmosphere of the Guanli Hall became noisier, all attention now turned to the concubine who was now standing like a statue, her delicate face flushed red.
Governor Su Zhue, the father of concubine Nuo stood up in wrath.
"This brash servant, slandered my daughter!" He cried out in a loud voice, even though his body was the smallest of all the stature of all the leaders of the region, but his voice was loudest when speaking.
"No way! this waiter must be lying!" The Empress mother looked at the concubine Nuo who did not speak at all. He did not defend himself, but he did not defend himself.
"I know concubine Nuo very well, she was the first concubine to come to the harem palace. And it's been here since he was so young."The queen mother said with a non-accepting look.
"This servant must be hanged! He's pinned the blame on my son, Your Majesty!" shouted Concubine Nuo's Father
"Your Majesty, I am telling you the truth. Concubine Nuo had told me to do it to trap concubine Yi. I could swear..." Huanran said with trembling lips and then cried in fear because he felt cornered.
The atmosphere of the Guanli hall for a moment was like a market, boisterously low debating the shock they were seeing and hearing.
"I myself will kill this goddamn servant with my hands, he is so brave to ruin my family's dignity!"
Governor Su Zhue jumped into the middle of the hall completely in anger.His hands were outstretched as if they were about to smash Huanran's head into pieces, but Commander Zhao Juren's hand held him back. Quickly confronted and push the body that is not how big it is, until it is aligned backward.
His Majesty stood up from his seat with a gaze as sharp as an eagle to the governor Su Zhue.
"If you can't be quiet in this trial, then I can get you out of this room!"
The loud but cold voice made the room suddenly like a grave, only Huanran's cry was still heard in a faint of fear.
His Majesty stepped down from his throne, standing face to face with Zhao Juren, his eyes momentarily turned to Qian Ren who was still kneeling on the floor.
His hand gestured for Qian Ren to wake up.
Now the three men stood facing each other, locking up a servant who was resting on the floor.
Three men who had similar feelings for Xiao Yi, tried to protect the girl they loved.
Although from a different place and power.
"Go back to your place." said His Majesty, without turning to Qian Ren.
Qian Ren immediately retreated, hearing that half-rule tone. And returned to his seat, where the father looked at him furiously.
After gazing for a moment at the trembling Huanran on the floor then turned to concubine Nuo who was standing next to concubine Wei.
Concubine Nuo was silent a thousand languages, her gentle face was not showing any expression at all.
"Concubine Nuo.." said His Majesty in a heavy voice. Now he was facing off against concubine Nuo just nothing more than an inch.
This was the first time His Majesty had been so close to concubine Nuo after the last time he had opened the red veil of his bride, seven or eight years ago, even His Majesty had forgotten exactly.
The first time he actually observed the face of this first concubine.
The ages of the two of them did not seem to be far adrift, only two or three years old. This graceful-faced beautiful woman might have been nearly twenty-five years old, but she looked even more mature.
Concubine Nuo raised her face, the first courage she had to look at her husband's face.
"You may deny it, if the accusation is not true..." Her Majesty's voice slowly, deep in her heart wished this woman had said that she had not done so.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Nuo's lips twitched.
"I told him to..."
The short and slow answer was like lightning for everyone. What a thing I never thought of if women were as gentle and as good as concubine Nuo who did such a heinous thing.
A low boisterous voice rang out, let alone from behind the curtains of the concubines. They really don't believe what they hear. Even Mei's mistress who was full of hatred for concubine Yi was unthinkable about doing so.
"Your Majesty, I don't regret doing it."
Concubine Nuo said confidently, though her voice trembled.
His Majesty was stunned in his place, as was Xiao Yi. Her chest felt suddenly claustrophobic, not understanding what mistake she had made so that concubine Nuo could bear to do just that.
"Young...!" Consort Nuo's father intended to advance with a deathly pale face, but Zhao Juren's hands stretched out like wings blocking the old man.
"Dad, I did. I gave you the lily's poison." Concubine Nuo raised her right palm, revealing a burning black color there as big as a coin.
"I myself held the lily poison until my hands burned, put it in dried goji berries." Concubine Nuo suddenly laughed, in such a dry tone.
"Your Majesty, punish me. I am not afraid that even if you cut off my head, this ugly face has been useless for a long time."Concubine Nuo smiled, that smile was extremely bitter.
"Why is concubine Nuo? why are you doing it?" ask Your Majesty, no less bitter.
"Because I can't take it anymore, Your Majesty." Suhut concubine Nuo fast. The eyes were like glass, but tried hard to challenge the compassionate gaze of the man before him.
"Eight years ago, I was sent to this palace as His Majesty's concubine, has His Majesty ever really remembered her? I came in with a thundered chest as a bride, but was then left out on the first night like trash. Has His Majesty ever thought of this feeling a little?" Concubine Nuo held her chest, her gaze straight at His Majesty.
"The years I've lived here, wish Your Majesty had a little look at me. But whenever I wish then I'll cry myself,"
"Your Majesty, I have loved Your Majesty as my husband since I first met, I hope that one day Your Majesty can realize that! Eight years is too long, too long for patience. Hiding behind a smile even though this heart is hurting." Concubine Nuo caught her breath, which faltered.
"I have never felt so sick, even though almost every year a new concubine is given to you! Until..he came to this palace!" Concubine Nuo turned around and pointed her index finger at Xiao Yi's face.
Those eyes really held the grudges and jealousy he kept in silence.
"She doesn't even need a day to come here to make you fall in love! I saw for myself how you looked at your new concubine on the day of her welcoming banquet!
I never saw that gaze His Majesty gave to anyone, except to concubine Yi!" two clear bulir dots fell on Consort Nuo's cheeks.
Xiao Yi stared at the place where he was standing with a chest that was like a stone, not knowing what to do.
"I feel really bad..really stupid!" Concubine Nuo hit her own chest, she cried but was so tough keeping her sob in heart.
"Nuo..." Consort Nuo's father bit his lip, his feelings were so shattered seeing her daughter.
"Dad..." Concubine Nuo turned to governor Su Zhue.
"Dad, always saying how useless my face, which could not melt His Majesty's feelings, how unbeneficial because as the king's wife could not make me have children of her.
Dad always blames me for my miserable life! Now I'm ending my miserable life, so that I don't have to grieve over your daughter..." Concubine Nuo's tears were like a pond that lost its way of flowing. Spilling boils down to her pretty chin.
"I've been dead for years so I'm not afraid to die a second time." He ended the sentence, with a face raised. That gentle face was so hard and brave. He had already lost his life spirit so he was not afraid of anything anymore.
His Majesty fell silent without letting go of his gaze from concubine Nuo. Sadness permeated his soul, seeing the state of this woman.
Half of her sins are from her.
