OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 78 TAKES YOU HOME

The morning had just arrived, the spring sun had already risen, it had even become hotter than usual. The summer felt too hot to announce his arrival when the new year had not so long passed.

Xiao Yi stood in front of the gates of the harem palace, his face looking stiff, waiting. While the horse-drawn carriage waited outside the gates of the harem.

Yes, this morning Harem will release concubine Nuo to come out of the palace, she is officially divorced by His Majesty and returned to her province in Liangsu.

But no concubine would stand with Xiao Yi to say goodbye. They choose to live in their own religion, avoiding meeting and engaging with a sick person.

Consort Nuo himself was sent home and served time as a prisoner in his own home. He was not allowed to set foot out of the gate of his house, the sentence was valid for the rest of his life unless there was a change of sentence from His Majesty.

Concubine Nuo walked over accompanied by her servant, wearing a very old leaf green dress. Her hair was in a simple bun with a small golden buyao perched there.

That gentle face looked cute, she walked over while putting her hands on her stomach, so graceful. His eyes are so empty.

When it reached in front of Xiao Yi, concubine Nuo stopped her steps.

"Concubine Yi.." her voice sounded slowly, but her eyes were straight forward.

"Why do you want my life so hard?" concubine Nuo asked, her gaze fixed forward, without even turning to Xiao Yi.

"Because your life is precious." Xiao Yi replied short and sternly.

"Precious to whom? I feel like my life is worthless to anyone in this world."Concubine Nuo pulled the corner of her lips making a grin there.

"For your family! Your life is precious to your family. Don't you remember the blood on your father's forehead, when you begged for forgiveness? Don't you remember the face of your mother who wanted your life? Are your own feelings more important than their own? The family that loves you?" The answers and questions were like waves, making the steps of concubine Nuo fixated on the ground.

Concubine Nuo now turned around slowly and faced face to face with Xiao Yi. His shady eyes were like a pond, it was just that the pond seemed to be so murky.

"Everyone didn't want me to live long ago. Far from when they sent me here. I've been dead a long time."Concubine Nuo spoke as she blinked her two eyes.

"You just lived..." Xiao Yi Sahut.

"Therefore don't waste your life." continued Xiao Yi, he challenged concubine Nuo's eyes with a straight look.

The eyebrows of concubine Nuo were drawn upwards, as if questioning the intent of Xiao Yi's sentence.

"Your real life has just returned. You've been tormented in an obscure relationship, but now that you've freed yourself, isn't that the freedom you should be."

"My husband divorced me and sent me back to my parents in shame and contempt, is that what you call better than death?"Concubine Nuo chuckled cynically.

"A husband who doesn't love you and doesn't want you, he's not your husband. No need to blame others and pity yourself for that." Xiao Yi interrupted.

"It is easy for you to say things that you have not experienced yourself. Life being the one you want makes you unworthy to tell me."Concubine Nuo replied with a grim feeling of being held back.

"Being sad is not good, everyone must have experienced it in his life, but choosing to stay silent and stay in that sadness even trying to throw our suffering by harming others is foolishness."Xiao Yi said, lightly.

"Have you ever suffered like me?"Concubine Nuo squeezed her fingers, restraining her feelings.

"Everyone's suffering is upon himself. It's just that I don't feel the need to burden others with my own life problems. Be wise to keep it and be wise to handle it." A smile floated on Xiao Yi's lips, this young concubine was so calm without the slightest ripple of emotion.

"I've been trying to frame you, make your life end tragically. Aren't you holding me back?" Concubine Nuo leaned her face towards Xiao Yi, as if intimidating the girl.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed and very angry with you, concubine Nuo. But can my anger make me and you better?

Yeah, I'm vengeful.but not you. I'm vengeful for the ridiculous tradition that sacrificed us as a result of the selfishness of the people."Xiao Yi replied straightforwardly.

"I just want to take you up to this gate not to laugh at you, but to remember me, that I will take you home. At this gate I wish you a better life, you have walked out of the black hole that has locked you away all this time. Live well." Xiao Yi grabbed the fingers of concubine Nuo who was clinging to each other in front of his stomach, so pale.

Consort Nuo, whatever you did in the past, I will still respect you today and in the future." A warm embrace was given to the trembling body of Concubine Nuo.

Concubine Nuo could no longer hold back the cries, how ashamed she felt, their age was quite far away, but she really felt inferior to the maturity of this woman.

He didn't have a heart this big for everything that hurt him.

"Go home, brother.Live happily." Whisper Xiao Yi.

Concubine Nuo could not help but cry, her tears flowing past her cheeks and wetting Xiao Yi's shoulders.

"Concubine Yi, I'm sorry...Forgive my sins. I feel very sinful to you and brother Yuan."he whispered tremblingly.

"I can't promise you an apology from concubine Yuan for what you've done to her, but I can promise you one thing by all means to restore concubine Yuan back to her normal." Whisper Xiao Yi while patting the back of concubine Nuo gently.

Xiao Yi released his embrace and held Consort Nuo's fingers.

"The sun is getting higher, Liangsu is very far away. Hurry up, your journey is still long" whispered Xiao Yi.

Concubine Nuo nodded, looked around and slightly hoped, Your Majesty delivered her departure as well. But that impossible empty hope was soon on the verge.

"You are His Majesty well..." Whether the relief of what was possessed, he felt that he had left the person he loved to the right person.

Xiao Yi nodded and slipped a paper scroll inside the carved golden-coloured bamboo.

"Your Majesty, wish you a better life in Liangsu" Xiao Yi said, softly.

Concubine Nuo hugged the scroll, wiped her tears and turned to step towards her long-waiting carriage, the carriage was already awaited by Governor Su Zhue, at the gate of Weiyan palace, to go to Liangsu.

The carriage of concubine Nuo had passed through the border of Yubei city, from earlier the gentle-faced concubine hugged the scroll of letters inside the golden bamboo in her hand. Her pale and puffy face was completely overwhelmed with sadness.

With the carefully drawn paper scroll, his fingers trembled to read one by one the words written there,

Let's agree not to look back,

A soul mate that ends, there is no need to leave grudges and regrets...

Dead-end and endless, if we still hope we get through it is just exhaustion.

Love is a double-edged sword,

and we're not in the same place. The cruel fate has held you back for so long.

The dusty past, rising into a plume of smoke, makes the eyes poignant but will soon disappear.

As a husband who has no feelings for you, I released you Su Nuo.

Live better, be what you want.
