The Two Sky Poems
Stories of the past
After Yan Lin left, Xuan Yi had to ask her mother something important. She has yet to figure out why a noblewoman would want to have intercourse with a venereal criminal like her father.
After returning home, unlike his mother's usual sleep, he sat quietly and drank. Maybe he had been waiting for her or something important he was thinking about.
After seeing Xuan Yi come, he greeted her and told, “Xuan yi come here.”
Su Jiao had never called Xuan Yi Yi Yi, or anything like that, making Xuan Yi always think, whether the woman had not believed herself to be her child. He also often acts cold and makes a barrier that separates them.
Unlike other mothers, Su Jiao seemed uninterested and thought of Xian Yi, as if picking her up just as an old man fulfilling his obligations. With his attitude, making Xuan yi wonder, whether his previous statement could convince him.
He then approached his mother and sat across, facing each other.
Su Jiao asked, “How was your practice?”
“Very good, but Yan Lin has gone.”
Since Su jiao had known about it, so she just said, “He should go. Now go to the room and sleep.”
His mother just asked, but he felt more noticed, but he rejected his mother's proposal by saying, “No, there are some questions I want to ask.”
Su Jiao looked at Xuan Yi briefly and sighed. “What is this related to I never serve well?”
“No, I want to ask you about your past.”
Su Jiao looked at her son sharply, then sighed. He then looked the other way, where a beautiful view of the night sky, a grove of trees were located. The pair of clear eyes like water seemed to dim, not because there was no sun, but something appeared in his memory, something sentimental. “What do you want to know..?”
Seeing the dimness of that face, Xuan Yi also felt what his mother felt. He felt guilty asking her, but for his curiosity, he chose to try not to care. “Why do mothers have sex with venereal criminals like fathers?
Su Jiao was silent for a while and sighed softly, as well as her eyes were more closed. “So, have you known the origin of myself and your own father?”
Xuan Yi nodded.
“As imperial princess, I am required to compete with my other brothers. Therefore, I am so ambitious to get the best position, better than the present. At that time the queen was always with me and we were like mother and son. Unlike my mother who is cold and stressful.”
“The empress said to marry the prince of one of the two existing empires to obtain that position. He also said that screwing a prince is not a disgrace. I get love from a prince of the Han empire and we love each other.”
“Then?” xuan Yi asked curiously.
“one day, it turns out I was lied to meet him somewhere. We had not met for 5 years at that time, so, I vented my longing with her in the blanket and became one body with a heaven-like happiness. But, it turned out to be a trap; what I slept with was your father. I don't know what happened then, I saw your father as my lover. Then I was accused of infidelity and got punished.”
“Prince of the Han empire did so and assisted his minions. I am still grateful only in prison, but insults, abuse and torture I cannot accept.” Su Jiao sighed then looked at her daughter.
“When do you know you've been holding me?”
“20 days later. I was devastated after knowing it. I was hoping to get advice from the empress, but she insulted and cut off my relationship. I want to kill you in the womb, and come back to life as usual. But my own mother stopped that and said to take responsibility.”
“I don't want to contain it, this is all a trap.”
“Nine months I endured insults like this.”
“When I went to take you to meet your father, I have become a common and popular news.”
“How did mom give birth to me?”
“I gave birth to you in prison. No one wants to help me with my dark history, but your grandmother helped me with labor. After birth, I gave you the name Su Xuan Yi, my illegitimate son, which means beautiful melody and spring in other languages. Even though you were born an illegitimate child, your grandmother and I loved you very much. I who initially hated you, slowly liked you very much.”
“Then why did mom hand me over to dad?”
“Because you are prone to being killed and will be despised because you were born an illegitimate child.”
Hearing his mother's statement, Xuan Yi understood what had happened. Regardless of whether he was an illegitimate child or not, Xuan Yi never cared, as long as he could live as he wished.
She has been living happily with her father and mother now, although the dark facts under her having killed her father are indisputable.
“Now I ask about your life in the village and what happened to your father.”
Xuan Yi said everything. “As I said, I was sometimes beaten by him and tortured. His torment slowly became more tender and loving. I started teaching them how to read and write. I always come home with books and teach me. He was a rude man when he taught his son, never once did not hit me. But over time, she changed for the better.”
“I'm starting to like it. But after knowing what he had done in the past, I immediately waited to kill him. Years passed, eventually the illness he suffered was very severe, he often behaved strangely and began to go crazy, as well as hallucinating. At night, I killed him in a state of hallucination with an ax.”
Su Jiao's expression unquietly heard him, maybe she didn't have any feelings for him. “So so..”
He put the cup. “My son, even if you are an illegitimate child, you have become an imperial princess. No one dares insult you now.”
Xuan Yi nodded and switched the conversation. “Mother, I want to go to the Sect to learn about martial arts and about qi.”
Su Jiao sighed. “Are you sure?”
“I'm sure.”
“Go away, but never call me your mother.”
Xuan Yi understood and nodded.
“There are three sects in Su empire, two in Wei empire and two more in Han. Those sects were among them, White Clouds Fairly, Green pagodas, Thousand Flowers. Among those three, the one I heard Green pagoda was the easiest to enter, while the rest was a little difficult. Which one will you choose?”
“I still think about it.”
“Think as best as you can, because that will be your life.”
Xuan Yi nodded.
