Surai Kasih Tiga Lives
Episode 213's
Ziaruo was restless again.
Empress Zing, who held the highest position in the imperial court, was in fact unhappy with her life.
He was deadlocked, and hit by a high solid stone wall, and the length of the twists and turns of the path of destiny.
Ziaruo stared at the dim twilight with its beautiful golden color.
''Today is like a triumph over the great earth Zing.''
Ziaruo muttered to himself.
She wanted to talk about today, with her husband Jing.
Or just, to share this beautiful twilight time together.
However, every picture he wanted seemed to be difficult to fulfill.
Given the relationship the two had lately, as well as the time that was thinning, Ziaruo could only let out a long sigh.
He knew clearly, that all was a mere wishful thinking, which would never be real.
The beautiful twilight in her heart would be just today.
The twilight that he absorbed would soon turn, to meet the night.
And by morning, Jing never came to see her again.
Ziaruo got up from his seat, and stepped towards the pavillion with a huge mahogany tree in front of him.
Raising hands slowly, heeding to the servants and guards, not to give him greetings, and respect.
Ziaruo stepped inside the pavilion, and stopped right in front of a room with an open door.
''Greetings Your Majesty, may you always be given a long life.'' Greet the waiter in the room.
Hearing the servant's words, a woman with a headgear immediately stood up from her seat, and bowed.
''Greetings Your Majesty, may your majesty live long.''
The veiled woman who was none other than Gu's concubine, lowered her head and paid her respects to Ziaruo.
Her unannounced arrival, has shocked former concubine (con consort Gu) and the female candidate of the Tang empire (substitute Ziaruo).
''You leave us.'' Concubine Gu continued, to the two servants beside her, after allowing Ziaruo to sit down, and occupy the seat he had occupied.
After the departure of the two maids, and the door of the room closed, Gu's woman also sat in front of Ziaruo.
''Is there anything this woman can do?.'' Consort Gu started the conversation.
''No, nothing matters.'' Answer Ziaruo gently.
''Emmh.'' Concubine Gu nodded slowly.
''You will be on the move early in the morning, and if without obstruction you will arrive there in 6-7 days.'' Ziaruo again.
The woman explained, what concubine Gu should do later.
He also hoped that with that new face, concubine Gu would forget the hatred in the heart, and start a new life in the Tang empire, as well as live happily with her son and both parents.
A life as well as a simple desire, which will be difficult for him to have.
However, what concubine Gu was thinking, was completely different from Ziaruo's thoughts and expectations.
He instead thought, that tomorrow was the beginning for him, to start all the retribution plans, to the Tang emperor.
Hearing what Empress Yun said, concubine Gu slightly responded.
His heart resists that desire firmly.
But he just kept quiet and listened, every word until Ziaruo was done.
Either the woman before him who had kindness, or tried to be wise.
Gu knew that the words were true, and it would be good to do so.
However, if the heart and mind have hated, the lake of fire before the eyes cannot stand in the way.
Let it burn to a scorch, so long as it can bring the hated one down with it, everything will feel worth it.
Lady Gu, has a great hatred for her ex-husband Canzuo, as well as the person who will be her new husband, 6-7 days from now.
And guess, that this woman will not obey the words of him.
He has tried, and for what will happen in the future, is no longer his responsibility.
Regrets will come when we get to the point of no return.
And Ziaruo was sure, this woman would probably regret all her actions, later when everything had ended and was destroyed in her own hands.
Ziaruo looked softly at the woman Gu, in front of him.
And it was a good story of bad karma, between concubine Gu (substitute of Ziaruo) and emperor Canzuo.
Her soft hands, moving to grab Consort Gu's hand, while saying. ''Have you rested early, tomorrow will be much more tiring, and I cannot take you away.''
Hearing those words, as well as receiving sincere treatment from Empress Yun, Consort Gu's heart warmed.
There was a feeling of loss, which now disturbed the recesses of Gu's woman's heart.
I don't know what and why, as if his heart said, that this was the last time he saw lady Yun.
Tears melted from the white cheeks of lady Gu, with a reflex he prostrated for Ziaruo.
''Thank you.thank you Empress.'' Gu said sincerely.
''Thank you brother-in-law.'' Continue in the heart.
Seeing her sincerity, and understanding, Ziaruo helped the woman to get up, and hugged her for a moment.
''Do things in your conscience, and do not regret the choices you have made.''
Ziaruo's whispered, before releasing a hug, and stepped out away from the pavillion, which was occupied by Gu's woman.
''Because regret is a fundamental part of suffering itself.'' Thought Ziaruo, in between footsteps left the pavilion of concubine Gu.
And when Ziaruo reached his pavilion, it was already dark.
From a distance, he saw the shadow of someone he knew very well, standing at the door.
Watching the figure there who was just silent, and had no intention of entering, Ziaruo stopped his footsteps.
And he chose to stand at a distance, which was rather difficult to see easily.
Understand the lighting fsctor, as well as their considerable distance a little bit far.
Seeing the master stop his steps, the eunuch who led the way stopped and approached, calling out to him.
''Your highness..''
Hearing the call, Ziaruo turned to the source of the sound for a moment, and turned back to look at the direction of the pavilion.
Getting such a response, the eunuch followed the empress's point of view, and he understood.
Not a moment, Ziaruo stopped and stood in his place.
And during that time, the figure that was none other than Jiang jing wei also stood sculpting, in front of the door of the Ziaruo pavilion.
''Did the guard not tell him that he was not in the room?.'' Ziaruo murmured in thought.
And has her husband always done that?.
Ziaruo's mind felt sadness again.
The calm face that had been attached, now returned sad.
''In the end you will also suffer, and all because of this woman.'' Ziaruo lirih.
''Gonggong.''
Ziaruo chose to stay away from there, not wanting jing to know that he saw her standing, in front of the door of his room.
''Well, Your Majesty the empress, the servant will give the description.'' The eunuch replied, before finally turning around, to lead the way with the lantern in hand.
And in the end, Ziaruo spent time in the garden, up to almost 2 times the incense sticks.
When the servant whom he sent to guard, at the place where he had originally reported, the Emperor had returned to his study.
Only then did Ziaruo leave the garden, and return to his pavilion to rest.
''Jing what should I do?.'' The whisper is subtle, to yourself.
