ZHAO JUREN'S LAST LOVE
CHAPTER 49. Bad News

The black curtains that were hung from mourning the death of General Zhaou Juren at Weiyan's palace have been replaced with white cotton curtains.  The mourning period was over all that was left was sadness and a grand plan that was being put together by His Highness Yan Yue.

The day after Zhao Juren was buried in the tomb

in the basement of the Zuihou temple, Xiao Yi was determined to leave the Empress's Palace accompanied by her loyal personal bodyguard, Cun's bodyguard. The autumn leaves were still lingering as he went towards the palace of Zhao Juren's residence quietly with Zhao Juren's bodyguard, Li Jin's commander.

Xiao Yi was not an easy person to lie to, however, with a single look that afternoon at the ZuiHou temple at the funeral ritual of Zhao Juren's harness he knew full well that Li Jin's countenance had changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Where is your Master?" that was Xiao Yi's question at that time that made Li Jin almost staggered back in surprise.

"Who does Her Majesty mean?" Li Jin asked stammeredly, he could not hide his fear.

"You know exactly what I mean, Li Jin. Don't you only have one master?" Xiao Yi's voice was firm despite half whispering.

"The servant has no idea what His Majesty meant..."

"Stop pretending, Li Jin. I don't like to talk too much."

"Ampuniated servant of Her Majesty's consort, I am willing to be punished for my foolishness but I really do not understand..."

"Li Jin, punishing you is an easy matter, if your master is already in Yanzhi land then giving him a thousand evil statuses without having to hear any reason behind his disappearance during this time is also very commonplace. If you hide his whereabouts then I hope there's no regret for you in the future."

Xiao Yi spoke calmly but Li Jin bought his eyes to look at Xiao Yi unblinkingly.

"You think lying to one country is a joke? What punishment should be given to a man who has lied to a king and all his people? I can't even imagine what the right punishment would be for him and for the one who conspired to pay him a fortune."

"Puni the servant, Your Majesty...Young master is innocent, my young master is truly innocent. Just take my life but forgive master Zhao" Li Jin almost fell down in fear but Xiao Yi gestured with his fingertips so that he would remain upright so as not to give any suspicion to those around them.

"I don't need your life, Li Jin I just want you to do one thing..." Xiao Yi took a breath for a moment.

The trembling Li Jin raised his face slightly with fondling eyes.

"What can I do, Your Majesty?"

"Take me to him, so I might consider shutting my mouth and pretending to know nothing." those words then led Xiao Yi to meet Zhao Juren that night. He sneaked silently with the help of Cun's bodyguards and of course with Li Jin to meet Zhao Juren at Zhao Juren's residence.

The night went silent, everything was so wide. Xiao Yi stared at Luryus towards the night sky through his tall window, He was wearing a white cotton dress, standing in his room, looking at the fairly bright spring sky tonight.

The rising crescent illuminated the earth with a dim light, the night enveloped the city of Jubei, the birds returning from the south no longer seemed to decorate the sky. It had been a week since his meeting with Zhao Juren that night. The man was so much thinner than he remembered, there was a bit of sadness infiltrating how he had dived into the man's suffering after his mother's betrayal.

" Mister Juren, I'm sorry to add to your burden with this task. But Yanzhi would have suffered a great disaster if I had not done so. I'm sorry that I might not have been able to think too much about how to ease your suffering. Take good care of yourself, find people who have betrayed our country and made us experience things like this. This road may be long, but every warrior will not feel exhausted to keep fighting for the people and people who mess with us." Xiao Yi took his own breath out forcefully. He knew the wrath of King Yan Yue would be spilled out in the end, and the next war would be unavoidable. Xiao Yi and Zhao Juren were only racing against time, before His Highness Yan Yue planned a war involving his 9 regions in order to fight Niangxi.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Cu suddenly startled himself, although his voice barely sounded so soft.

"What's up, Chu Cu?" Xiao Yi asked as he pulled the window of his room sulaya shut.

"Chun's bodyguards sent a message, if Your Majesty is willing to meet, Chun's bodyguards would like to speak to Your Majesty for a while."

"Yes, Madam. Seems important enough, it's after Cun's bodyguard.."

"Of course, Chun's bodyguards wouldn't insist on seeing me if it wasn't important. " Xiao Yi walked towards the table where she usually received guests

Chu Cu hurriedly took out a coat and put it on for Xiao Yi.

"Send him in."

Cun's bodyguards came in and bowed.

"What's wrong?"

"I received word from the palace that something had happened at Sunyen's temple."

Faintly, he seemed to hear

several voices in succession, issuing a sudden suspicion from Xiao Yi, recalled that there was Empress Dowager Li Sui.

The water mirror was like an illusion, the reflection of light in the clear waves, the fog enveloped the man's face, gradually turning into a pale silence.

"Was...The queen mother tried to escape?" Xiao Yi asked carefully.

"No, Your Highness.but..." For a moment Cun's bodyguards hesitated.

"Suri's mother is said to have died."

"Huh ? Died off? Wh why? She sick? why so suddenly?" Xiao Yi was aghast..

"Yes, Suri's mother hanged herself."

"Hanging yourself?" Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment. His face changed instantly. Lanterns emit a pale light, like the moon in space. This unusual way of dying really asks a lot of questions

"Yes, Your Majesty. Reportedly he hanged himself on a Wisteria tree behind the Sunyen temple, right on the branch of the Wisteris tree where there was a grave of someone beneath... "

Xiao Yi really could not stop being stunned. The news shook his chest.
