ZHAO JUREN'S LAST LOVE
CHAPTER 46. Interlope Into the Palace

The sunlight came through the window, the morning was already past. A brightly lit day greeted by sending light through the sidelines of the curtain that closed the window of the inn room that was not too big.

The blinds are pale white and a little shabby because too much in the wash is sparkling in the light, a little blinding to the eyes.

Zhao Juren squinted her eyes, while putting the back of her hand over her jet-black eyebrows.

She was still wearing her clothes last night, she was lying on a pale blue sheet whose surface was still so neat.

His robe was opened slightly displaying his fielded and charming chest, gleaming at the morning light.

His eyes were still sleepy, his head was heavy, his body felt dim but his heart was so comfortable.

"Akhs..." Zhao Juren's eyes finally opened wide, slowly the memory of last night's events burst into his mind that was still between conscious and unconscious. Then the beautiful face of Xue Xue passed in his memory. It was the last one he saw faintly before then he forgot what had happened, probably because of his drunkenness

"Xue Xue." Zhao Juren swiftly got up and sat down, his eyes pounded on his feet, his footwear was visible on the floor, under the bed, neatly arranged.

His Majesty's hand moved unintentionally and touched something between the gentle rustling of the skin scraping of his palm with the sheets he was sleeping on.

A sword and a paper were clamped underneath. It was like a letter someone wrote

Zhao Juren who was looking around for Xue Xue's face immediately opened her eyes wide. Little wished the girl was in the room even though hope was almost impossible.

Tiredness due to the influence of Huangju leftover wine last night that had initially ambushed immediately evaporated, changing a strange nervousness.

The room was empty, Xue Xue was not there, except for her own awakened self.

Was his encounter with Xue Xue by the lake last night all just a delusion or his dream or a flower from his drunkenness?

He grabbed the paper and opened it in haste.

Mr. Zhao,

destiny is so strange and I don't know what it means for our repeated encounters to continue like this.

With just one look, you know that I'm the same person and strangely only in front of you I can't fool you.

Mr. Zhao,

I'm not sure, as enemies we can stand in the same place.

Saving your life made me bet my life on my own country.

When you know, I am Xue Xue, I am a great enemy of yours hiding inside that iron armor, I don't need to lie any more.

Yes, I am indeed the same person and I know you can be trusted to hide that reality.

Your death, your funeral in Yanzhi country only heard yesterday and finally I understand enough that is what makes you finally stuck in my country.

But, we are the opposite people, like the water in the moringa leaves.like oil with and dew. There's nothing I need to explain anymore unless I have my own reasons for delaying your death.

Mr. Zhao, no need to waste your time looking for me again, go home as if you were returning to your homeland. You have no reason to roam my country looking for me.

We are friends one time but another time we may exchange swords around each other's necks. I don't want to leave much to regret when the time comes I'll collect the life I've given you.

Go home.

I won't see you again and won't answer your questions about who I am.

Xue

He felt his life was completely back, all was not a dream, last night was really real if he had met Xue Xue last night, the mysterious woman who was quite disturbing his mind lately turned out to keep her promise.

Zhao Juren jumped from the top of her bed, put on her shoes and hastily opened the door. He didn't need to take a bath, only he needed to go out to find someone who might be able to help him smuggle himself into Nan's palace.

She was certain that this Xue Xue aka Xue Lian was Nan Luoxia's daughter. He was also the general of Qui, the guardian of the Tianshi court, where he was held captive in powerless, for many months.

Brak!!

That loud shout made Zhao Juren shocked beyond measure, she did not expect that someone was behind the door of her room.

"Mr Lian Ju!" The screech was well-known to him, it belonged to Changyi!

"Changy? Why did you stick to my door this early?" Zhao Juren asked puzzledly but could not hide her pleasure from not having to bother looking for this child, she herself willingly came to him.

"I'm looking for you, sir." Changyi grinned without a sense of sin.

"How do you know if I'm here?"

"Hey, sir.my connections are many, I am a smart and all-knowing person. Oh, my friend, don't forget that I'm the owner of the road along Nanxing's main road. If it's just looking for you, it's no big deal." Changyi grinned.

"Who told you I was staying here?"

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I told you I'm an all-knowing person, no need for anyone to tell me, I can even track your whereabouts by just smelling you so there's no need to underestimate things like that." Changyi laughed boisterously on his own, feeling funny with his own statement.

"But."

"Hush! Sir, stop talking about me now no need to fuss anymore. I brought you a rice cake for breakfast this morning with fresh milk freshly milked from the farmhouse." Oceh Changyi while handing over the food he had in his tent in a bundle of cloth and a container of seasoning containing milk, he was like magic.

Oagi even this he was so neat wearing a robe of light gray, his hair in high pigtails like a young scholar, his body was filled with the smell of cheap fragrances that stung the nose.

Zhao Juren retreated back while welcoming Changyi's luggage which suddenly came in such a ghost-like manner.

"Oh sir, you bought me a drink last night and approved of me as your friend. I've taken pains to track down where you're staying, I'm so glad you're so enthusiastic about hearing me. Not many people really appreciate me when I tell stories. Therefore let's have another drink today!"

Hearing Changyi's rant, Zhao Juren simply frowned.

"Changyi happened to be you this morning." Suddenly Zhao Juren spoke as she frowned, her pajas turning serious.

"Yeah..." Changyi's face became sumringah.

"Can you help me?"

"Help what?" Changyi turned around to ask.

"Sttt..." Zhao Juren looked left and right then pulled Changyi into her room.

Brak!!

That door is closed.

"What can I help you with?" Changyi still looked confused.

"I want you to do something for me, man"

"What?"

Zhao Juren went even closer and her mouth was close to Changyi's.

"Didn't your family work in the palace?"

"Yes..."

"Can I ask you to help me smuggle me into Nan's palace."

" Yeah!!!"
