"What's up, Hongse?" Lin Fangyin did not take her eyes off the reddish sky in the western horizon at all. It was as if he was reluctant to miss the painting of the horizon that was as red as that old blood.
A few nights earlier, Lin Fanyin visited the temple on the edge of the city where the Lin Nobles' family's land was located, his ancestral land was special because it was specially given by the old Yang Mulian King Nan Chen to General Lin in his youth as a reward for his victory to seize territory in the south and expand the Nan kingdom decades passers-by. The land was about the size of a small village, with farms, plum orchards and grain farms cultivated by slaves and wages. The land belonging to the Lin family was only inhabited by the Lin family and its servant slaves so they were called one of the richest nobles besides prime minister Yang Liujun, the father of Yang Xiwu the wife of prince Nan Yuhuai.
Back when he had still not entered the palace, He and Lin Hongse went to many places, went to the small, desolate hallways, went to the ancient and rickety Temple, eat small meals on the side of the road, along with entrance to the crowded temple fair, and together ignite a very long firecracker on the eve of the new year. The thunderous sound of firecrackers roared, Exactly like on that night two years ago, he would stand in the middle of the people passing by on the street with the widest smile, his eyes full of lanterns, his eyes full of light, smoke and fire.
And that night he tried to repeat all the childhood joys he had missed, a happiness he had not felt for so long quietly enveloped him, the light of the lantern around him dimmed, fireworks bloomed in the sky above her crown like beautiful flowers, the light shining on her face, very beautiful.
But he no longer had the happy feelings he used to be, he felt bland and sad in the midst of the joy he dreamed of. His Highness Nan Chen really-benasr had robbed[as all his happiness without any silence at all. Even when he wanted it so much, he couldn't get it. Except the outpouring of heartache and fertile grudges pent up from years of pain.
"Sister, I came with Luoxia, she's eager to see you."
"Luoxia?" Lin Fangyin turned her gaze at Lin Hongse with furrowed brows.
"Why is he looking for me?"
"I just want to talk to you a little bit about something." Xue Xue in her feminine and luxurious daughter clothes walked from behind her. It seemed like he had arrived from earlier without being noticed by Lin Fangyin. If it was within the palace environment, Nan Luoxia would always look like this.
"Nan Luoxia?" Lin Fangyin instantly stood up from her seat, she was not too close to this sister-in-law but she often heard about Nan Luoxia's lunge from her sister Lin Hongse. This girl doesn't talk much, she likes freedom from she's still very young.
"Hongse, can I talk to Fangyin's sister for a moment?" The question sounds subtle but is loaded with assertiveness.
Hongse momentarily fell silent, staring at the two women who were close to him but looked so foreign and kept his distance. The stiff atmosphere. Before then Lin Hongse nodded his head and walked away leaving them in the little garden that belonged to the empress.
The two women with their respective charms sat at each other for a moment, and self-consciously Xue Xue lowered her face slightly, respecting the wife of her brother.
"I'm sorry if it bothers you, brother."
"It's okay, Luoxia. Thank you for coming home this time there is time to visit my residence."
Xue Xue smiled slightly with an unchangeable look, only her eyes continued to observe the face of this gloomy-looking woman.
Xue Xue could not think of an adjective that could describe everything she saw about the darkness that enveloped Lin Fangyin, it seemed as if it was suddenly blown by the wind from the battlefield into a colorful vibrant world. He was dim in the luxuries that surrounded him.
"I should've done this a lot a long time ago." Xue Xue once again pulled the corner of her lips and sat down gracefully on a mahogany chair after Lin Fangyin invited her.
"I know, your arrival is not common. Did Your Majesty ask you to do so?" Asked Lin Fangyin then without showing an excited expression. His life was always full of suspicion on anything, including on this unusual thing.
"Your Majesty didn't ask me to do this, but I did it because I had to." Welcome Xue Xue with a firm tone. His eyes were sharp-glowed full of sightseeing.
"About the death of Miss Siaw."
Lin Fangyin was speechless, she sat up tensely, looking at Xue Xue in front of her.
"Oh, is that pregnant concubine dead?" Lin Fangyin's brows furrowed but did not show any apparent shock. As if he could guess that.
"I know, your sister knows this."
"I don't know anything about this." Tukas Lin Fangyin with a huff.
"I'm not saying you know what's behind this, but as a harem leader you must have heard this news." Xue Xue shook her shoulders without taking her eyes off her brother's main wife.
Empress Lin Fangyin fell silent, she did not respond to anything, more on guard because she knew Nan Luoxia was not just any princess, she was the girl behind the mysterious army of angels.
"I heard she's been sick lately, I think the cause was her pregnancy gone wrong. The sky may not approve of that. There's nothing I can do if he's dead at last." He said then with a voice that was no less sharp.
"But this is the third death in the last two years from the harem palace, and all of them are concubines of the king."
"One who dies then who comes countless fingers. I'm not worried about that." Sahut Lin Fangyin indifferently.
"It's not about the numbers that go and come in the harem but about the cause of their deaths." Xue Xue interrupted. Not loud but very poignant.
"Puteri Nan Luoxia, are you trying to say that I was involved in their deaths?" Lin Fangyin's eyes widened.
"I'm not saying big brother Fangyin was involved with their deaths but I'm just trying to find a sense of responsibility for these deaths. From what I heard, big brother Fangyin is completely indifferent to what happened to all the tragedies that happened inside the walls of this harem."
"What do you want me to do? crying in front of their bodies? I'm definitely in my place, everyone you can ask, even I don't really recognize all the women who are His Majesty's concubines. I only know, they are the wives of the other kings, who have the right to warm His Majesty's lust. The rest I really don't care. Isn't that natural?" Lin Fangyin barely took a breath as she said all those sentences.
So fiery, sekan wanted to pour out the pain that he had been enduring all this time.
