OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 86 SAW YOU

The morning had just arrived, the sun was shining brighter than usual above Bai Sheng's cottage.

Concubine Yuan looked so fresh on the bed, she had just finished the seventh day bathing ritual. Which was the last day of the series of treatment to remove the poison from his body.

Every day concubine Yuan showed progress, under the care of madam Xiao and Xiao Yi himself.

Concubine Yuan's body was no longer as stiff as before, let alone every night her body was given massage therapy by her servant Ayin, who had been guided by Madam Xiao in finding nerve points and blood circulation so that concubine Yuan quickly recovered.

And Qian Ren himself, completely keeping his promise, every day before morning came to bear the water from the icy springs of Duyao cave, to bathe the concubine Yuan. Without getting tired at all.

What was on his mind was the girl he loved and had been disappointed in his life, Xiao Yi. Doing everything possible to get the girl to be looked at with respect by everyone was all that mattered to her.

He lives well, and I will be fine.

The sentence is a remedy for any selfish desire that tempts to have the girl who was once his lover.

Xiao Yi himself seemed to avoid every encounter the two of them had, which originally this attitude made Qian Ren feel extremely desperate.

Then he understood, Xiao Yi just wanted to make their position completely in the right place. Xiao Yi was the high concubine of the Yanzhi king now, he was with due authority. It is inappropriate to open a distance with another man let alone that it is one part of his past.

Madam Xiao had just given the medicine to Concubine Yuan, while Xiao Yi was holding a bowl of herbal soup that had been empty about to bring back to the kitchen after feeding Yuan's concubine.

"We'd better let concubine Yuan rest for a while." Madam Xiao and Xiao Yi walked out of the Yuan concubine's contest. While Yuan's concubine appeared to be asleep even though the day was not yet noon.

Perhaps the medicinal effect that Madam Xiao gave her.

Xiao Yi and Madam Xiao sat side by side on the terrace of Bai Sheng's cottage, looking straight down at the cliff.

Summer is already starting to feel, even in the forest that should be cool it starts to get a little sultry.

"Mother, will concubine Yuan soon be able to walk again?" xiao Yi asked his mother.

"All the poison of the ice lilies, should have already disappeared from the body of concubine Yuan. I've checked, his body is already clean from the effects of poison. It's just, the body that has been a few weeks not moved certainly needs time to be able to function as usual"

Answer mrs Xiao.

"Will he be able to talk soon?"

ask Xiao Yi again.

"Yes, he should have been able to talk..."The sigh of Madam Xiao.

Xiao Yi's eyes wandered to the tents of the bodyguards standing around Bai Sheng's hut. There were Cun's bodyguards not far from where they were seen inspecting several guards who appeared to be on guard, after alternating breakfast.

Ayin, the personal servant of concubine Yuan and Chu Cu, the servant of Xiao Yi now also helped cook in the camp for the food of the guards. Fresh food ingredients were always coming in every day in between by Xiao Che, Xiao Yi's eldest brother.

"This place is quiet enough for the recovery of concubine Yuan, we can only wait now." Said the mother later.

"Tomorrow we return to Zuzhang, hopefully there concubine Yuan is more comfortable and quickly recovered."

Benak Xiao Yi floated on a face that he missed so much these few nights. The face of His Highness Yan Yue with the gaze of the willow tree's eyeballs.

As night fell, his longing for His Majesty was like the moon sneaking out to find a place.

But a responsibility and a promise restrains every desire. This distance proves he really loves that Yue, with all his heart.

In this Bai Sheng cottage, Xiao Yi returned himself to his mother, as a child who understood all the decisions her parents sent her to the palace not as a princess who was cast out but carried the burden of saving the situation and many people. How he restores his belief that he has a path above destiny which he thinks used to be his bad luck.

From Bai Sheng's cabin as well he had secretly been together with Cun's bodyguards investigating the Zuzhang palace, the governor's residence, the, without being suspected by sending two secret guards every night there and found governor Qian Lie secretly smuggling a lot of taxes and tributes that should be sent to the king's city for his personal interests.

The flow of funds leads to a place, which seems to finance a more dangerous purpose.

Xiao Yi silenced everything, while strategizing about dismantling the crimes of governor Qian, which he thought involved not only the governor Qian Lie but other important people.

"Miss.." suddenly Qian Ren appeared, her handsome face was sweating.

"I returned the rest of this xiecao root powder, because I no longer need to face the xuedeng bat in Duyao cave anymore"Qian Ren handed over the bag containing Xiecao root powder in his hand, welcome Madam Xiao with a big smile.

"Thank you young master, you're really very honest and responsible."

Qian Ren's face was met red hearing Madam Xiao's remark, while his eyes glanced at the graceful-looking Xiao Yi in the seat, those beautiful eyes slightly observing towards Qian Ren.

"Thank you, it's been a lot of help." Xiao Yi smiled, like the smile of an old friend.

"I beg for permission to enter Yuan's concubine's room, I dropped something this morning there."

"Dropped something?"Xiao Yi frowned

"When I removed concubine Yuan's body from the bath, I lost an object, the jade pendant someone gave me" Qian Ren stuttered slightly, slightly, the pendant he always hung around his neck using the black silk rope was given by Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi momentarily fell silent, he slightly unexpectedly thought that the thing Qian Ren had still kept until this moment, but then Xiao Yi nodded his head, letting Qian Ren into Yuan's concubine's room.

He trusted Qian Ren completely, so there was nothing to bother with if Qian Ren came out and entered the cottage.

Qian Ren stepped slowly into the restroom where Concubine Yuan was sleeping.

He did not want to wake the woman who was resting with such a calm face.

He squatted around the bed, his hands hanging on the edge of the cot looking at the wooden floor looking for if the thing he was carrying was tucked there.

Suddenly a hand caught his wrist. Qian Ren turned around in surprise. Concubine Yuan looked at her with a sparkling face from her bed.

"Come Yuan?"

"I love to open my eyes, and the first thing I see is you." Concubine Yuan's voice was first heard, weak and delicate.
