Seeing Han Zhao's surprised reaction, made Emperor Haocun Li a little confused. Then gently pat one of Han Zhao's shoulders.
"Fang Yin?? What was?? Why are you surprised??" ask the emperor Haocun Li.
Han Zhao was aware from his daydreams, However, it made Han Zhao become downcast, He branily raised his head. "S-I'm fine, Your Majesty" Han Zhao replied.
"You don't look all right, ko, what's wrong??" ask Emperor Haocun Li again.
"I'm fine, your majesty. Take it easy, you don't have to worry about me." said Han Zhao as he turned his body. He's about to leave. But suddenly his steps stopped when one of his hands was held back by someone.
"Your majesty, why do you look so panicked after seeing me??" jing Li asked, who turned out to be the one holding back one of Han Zhao's hands.
Although the man asked him to speak, Han Zhao tried to calm himself down. He does not want to cause new problems later. "Really?? I don't think so" said Han Zhao as he turned his head slowly.
As the pair of two eyes Han Zhao and Jing Li came into contact with each other. Making Jing Li realize one strange thing from the color of the circle in Han Zhao's eyes.
"Mother. Can we talk for a second??" jing Li asked as she climbed both of her eyebrows upwards. It was as if he was putting on a hopeful expression.
"Maybe next time" Han Zhao gently refused, letting go of Jing Li's soft hand that was still holding her wrist.
"Just in a moment, Mother" wooed Jing Li with her spoiled tone. Ohh my goodness.. What kind of behavior is this?? Emperor Haocun Li's first son could act this spoiled??. His taste is hard to believe.
Buty?? Why was the reaction of emperor Haocun Li ordinary when he saw the strange behavior of this child named Jing Li??.
"It's Fang Yin.. You've never met her, have you?? This is my first son. His name is Jing Li, maybe if you could talk for a while, you would know each other" emperor Haocun Li said giving advice. It was like siding with Jing Li. This is so unfair!!
With a heartbeat that continues to beat very fast. Han Zhao could only nod and agree to the wishes of these two men. Because at a time like this, there was no other way to resist.
After getting an answer from Han Zhao. Jing Li instantly looked very happy. Like a child who is happy to be given a toy. That's the reaction at the moment. It was very confusing to Han Zhao.
Han Zhao and Jing Li went to a room. Precisely the room was where Jing Li slept while he was still in this temple. In that room, Han Zhao was just speechless, an awkward feeling was now attacking Han Zhao's inner being.
On the other hand, Jing Li who saw the girl was just speechless made herself start to open up the conversation. "I never knew that dad had another concubine" Jing Li said as she stared at his fist on top of her lap.
"Does this feel weird to you??" han Zhao asked in his soft voice.
"No, but this really makes me feel confused" said Jing Li.
"Bung?? Indeed, what makes you feel confused??" han Zhao asked in surprise.
Jing Li was silent for a moment, she did not understand, why she was so calm while beside Han Zhao. It felt as if Han Zhao was a familiar figure. "....."
Seeing Jing Li speechless, it made Han Zhao even more awkward, he did not know what kind of topic to open.
"Oh yeah, you said you wanted to talk to me, is there anything important you want to say??" ask Han Zhao.
"Eumm"
"Uhh?? If there really is, then just say it" Han Zhao said reassuring the man next to her, who was still in a doubtful feeling.
"Eumm"
"....."
"Mother, I want to know, have you seen a man in white stripes roaming the town of Li lately??" jing Li asked as she raised her head, and turned her head towards Han Zhao next to her.
"My brother's sister" replied Jing Li who now bowed her head again.
Han Zhao fell silent, now he realized that Jing Li's question earlier, was related to his younger brother Hong Li. However, the thing that became the question in Han Zhao's head was. How could Jing Li know that Hong Li was in Li's hometown?.
"Mother.. Youknew.. You look a lot like my sister Hong Li, as well as my mother who died 5 years ago" Jing Li said in Han Zhao's daydream. He also leaned his head over the shoulder of the girl next to him.
Han Zhao was just speechless, he did not know what to say, which he obviously did not want Jing Li to know that his father's current concubine was his own sister. Hong Li's.
"Ohh, that's why you came to visit Li's residence" Han Zhao said as he stroked the back of the man next to him.
"Yes that way." said Jing Li who now lifted his head from the shoulder of the girl next to him.
After speaking for a while, the awkwardness within Han Zhao slowly began to dissipate. He was getting used to Jing Li. It was a bit difficult to talk to him. But Jing Li was also not too bad to talk about the emperor Haocun Li.
Not only became close, even Han Zhao also got some interesting stories from Jing Li about his childhood life with Hong Li.
Sometimes, remembering that, made Han Zhao smile to himself. He felt happy, knowing that Jing Li was a good kaka.
"Mother" called Jing Li in her soft tone.
"Yes??"
"I'll be gone in a minute, but before I leave. I want to tell you a little bit" Jing Li said as she got up from her seat.
Hearing that, Han Zhao only put on a look of bewildered face. "Hmm??"
"Dad had a concubine before you, and yet, the concubines were dead at night"
Han Zhao was surprised even his mouth alone was hard to open. He wanted to ask Jing Li. "..."- ".
"If it's late tonight, I'm taking you to come to his room with a few bottles of wine. You better ask the waiter to deliver it."
"What's the matter??"
"Of course, that's clear. That night, as I was wandering around the temple, I heard a scream of a girl from a room"
"W-What do you mean??" asked Han Zhao who was now feeling uneasy.
"The concubines died in that room. Even the bodies are hidden inside the walls"
"Huh?? How's it going??"
"With his spiritual energy."
"Eumm, why did you tell me about this??"
"I just don't want my mother's last body to get hurt because of dad. Oh yea. One day, do as you please, even if you are not by your side. I will always support you" Jing Li said as she greeted the concubine.
On the other hand, Han Zhao was only speechless, even until the man left, Han Zhao was unaware of his daydreams. I don't know what he's muttering right now.
Clearly, his body had now been trembling slowly. Not because he was afraid of being killed by the emperor Haocun Li, but because of Jing Li's remarks earlier on him.
