OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 76 I PROMISE
His Majesty woke up when he felt a cold wind coming down on his face, he was moving around looking for someone to help warm his body but all he found was an empty place.
For a moment His Majesty was curled up in his blanket, scavenging all of his consciousness.
Finally he opened his eyes. His body felt sore, several times trying to make Xiao Yi drain his energy.
The green room, welcoming him in the dim light of the lantern.
He's still in Chue Lian and it's not morning yet. Xiao Yi should have been beside him or infiltrated his arms, hugged his waist and fell into a deep sleep.
But the one that didn't exist, the girl disappeared. His Majesty woke up, looking around, the last Xiao Yi clothes in his memory scattered on the floor now also disappeared.
Feeling suddenly left at midnight blind, making him feel strange and empty. Curiosity tickled, where is the girl?
His Majesty got off the bed, grabbed his clothes and attached the coat to his body, walked towards the door and opened the door slowly.
Under the Rongshu tree with the illumination of the hanging red lotus lantern, stood Xiao Yi, with the tip of the dress slightly fluttering from the gusts of the night wind. His head was directed upwards, looking at the sky. He was silent like a statue.
"Maxing..."His Majesty hugged the girl from behind, hooked her chest and neck with both of her hard arms. For a moment Xiao Yi was surprised but his head remained forward, not trying to turn his head in the least.
With the back of his hand, he hastily wiped away his tears.
"You crying?" His Majesty slightly bowed laying his chin on the little Xiao Yi's shoulder.
Xiao Yi hugged the big arm in his chest.
Let two drops of clear hair fall on his skin.
It feels so comfortable in a hug like that.
His back and body were warm.
"Have I hurt you?" Whisper His Majesty in his ears with a hint of worry.
Xiao Yi shook his head strongly.
"Why are you crying?" ask His Majesty.
"I have kept many secrets from His Majesty. I'm afraid, if Your Majesty finds out, then I won't have any more place in Your Majesty's heart" Xiao Yi sighed in a sad voice.
His Majesty turned Xiao Yi's body around, making him come face to face with the girl. Those sharp eyes of hers, plunged into Xiao Yi's heart.
"Everybody has secrets in his life, but let's see what secrets might make you lose your place in my heart."That sentence is like an idol.
"I'm so afraid Your Majesty doesn't trust me anymore..."Xiao Yi lowered his face, his two fingers squeezing each other, signaling the uneasiness of his heart.
"When you dare to tell the truth, every mistake that comes with it will always be considered. Dare to be honest, whatever it is, makes you worthy of forgiveness." His Majesty raised Xiao Yi's chin high.
"After tonight, if Your Majesty wants to banish me, then I accept it. I've more than earned Your Majesty's affection." Whisper Xiao Yi.
"Just tell me whether by throwing you away, make everything worth it."His Majesty's heart, his palm gripped the slender shoulder of the girl in front of him, waiting.
"I'm not a close relative of Governor Qian Lie. I'm not a descendant of nobility, I'm just the son of a lowly, border guard at Youwu." Xiao Yi ventured to look at His Majesty's face.
"Governor Qian deceived His Majesty by saying I am the daughter of his close relatives, I was the lover of his son in the past. He sent me here as a sacrificial concubine for his political interests."Xiao Yi's hand clutched tensely.
"For such a thing, as a king, do you think I don't know? Don't underestimate me, if you think that this Yue of yours is too easily deceived by governor Qian." His Majesty chuckled, this girl's worry is too excessive.
"Your Majesty knows?" Xiao Yi looked at His Majesty trying to believe him.
"During this time, Your Majesty doesn't seem to know anything?"
"Should I say, I have investigated your background before I can believe in myself, that you are the one I deserve to love and trust? No need to worry about my feelings just changing. I'm not that kind of person"Your Majesty smiled gently.
"I used to say the first time we were both facing each other and remember you I had a wooden hairpick carved into a lotus flower on your head? The hair pin I made myself in my hand, as I tried to kill my loneliness. Lotus is a plant that grows in mud but produces beautiful and pure flowers. Lotus tells the story of how the transformation of something from a low and impure realm to a higher level. You are that lotus, and I am satisfied to have given it to the right person."
His Majesty hugged Xiao Yi, as if wanting to kill the girl's unrest.
Xiao Yi clenched tightly onto His Majesty's body, warmth rushing through his veins, he shed happy tears. It turns out that love is like this, she is so soothing.
Love is actually very afraid of making his partner sick and hurt.
"Your Majesty, do you know that I am not just a concubine sent to deceive Your Majesty, but I am also made a weapon for more evil purposes, which I don't know what I'm gonna be." Xiao Yi sobbed in His Majesty's embrace.
"Governor Qian took my family hostage, to make me do anything for his benefit. And I'm so scared..." Whisper Xiao Yi raucous.
His Majesty took off his embrace, slowly his hand grabbed onto Xiao Yi's wet chin, forcing Xiao to look into his eyes.
"Are you scared?" ask her with a heavy voice.
Xiao Yi could only blink both of his eyes, looking up at those sharp-shining blackish-brown eyes.
"What scares you more, doesn't obey Governor Qian's wishes or break my heart?" ask again.
"I.I am not willing to lie to Your Majesty, I am afraid of making Your Majesty hurt. I can't forgive myself if I make His Majesty hurt.I'm afraid..."
His Majesty suddenly kissed Xiao Yi's lips firmly, letting his own cheeks get wet by Xiao Yi's spilled tears. The sound of his sobbing was stuck in His Majesty's mouth.
"Stop crying, Chenxing. I can't bear to hear you cry...!" His Majesty pulled his lips and wiped away Xiao Yi's tears.
"If indeed you feel capable, harm me and can make you calm. I won't blame you! To die in your hands will not bring me regret. But by hearing your courage to be honest, I have trusted you completely." His Majesty then grabbed onto Xiao Yi's body.
"From today on, just listen to me then I promise, no matter what happens I will not harm you and your family. Act like you're still an accomplice of Governor Qian Lie but don't bet anything if it's your life" The voice trembled.
"Chenxing, sometimes we have to keep what we know, to keep others from being alert to us. Letting others think we are weak, opens our enemies to let our guard down."
The night descended past midnight, the spring breeze still felt cold in the middle of the night this blind, they both hugged under the twinkle of the lotus lantern.
Xiao Yi was speechless, hugging His Majesty in awe, being honest always calmed the heart, although it might not always ease the storm.
Someone behind the high walls of Chue Lian's palace, stood stiff. Listen to that conversation. In his right hand was a blue kumala jade chai that he held so firmly that his palm was injured and bleeding while in his left hand a neatly folded piece of paper, the one on his back as he passed in front of the gate of the palace.
