C10 Part2

....

Qingyuan Hall.

After three days of diagnosis and treatment by Doctor Xue, the Emperor Murong Cheng passed the dangerous period.

Although he was still weak, he slowly raised his health and he still had days to enjoy.

Doctor Xue especially warned that now he will never be able to touch female sex anymore, otherwise he would be seeking his own death.

Therefore, Murong Cheng accepted this bloody reality.

Murong Yu saw him eat a bowl and a half of chicken porridge, and said:

"Your Majesty looks good, and you will slowly recover if you get back your inner strength carefully."

Murong Cheng was quite remorseful,

"Before I heard the slander of Tianfeng Dao, I wanted to live forever, and caused myself to be like this, and almost lost my life.

It is really ironic. Royal Prince, I can't take care of the government nor my family.

This Emperor still needs to rely on you.

I believe that you will not let me down."

"This minister will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

"Good. I'm tired now. You may go now."

Murong Yu bowed and left the Palace of the Emperor .

As soon as he came out of the Qingyuan Hall, a small servant walked forward and said in a low voice:

"Prince Regent, the Imperial Concubine has important matters to discuss with the Prince, please come with this slave."

At this time, the night was blurred, the moon was pouring.

Murong Yu thought for a moment, then walked with the little servant.

When he came to the waterside, the little servant retired by himself.

The silk gauze palace lanterns nearby flowed in, and the water pavilion was dark and blurred.

At this time, Concubine Xiao stood in front of the beauties near the water, wearing a gorgeous palace dress embroidered with begonia spring fling patterns with delicate red and gold threads.

The make-up was meticulously and evenly done on her goose-egg face which was as beautiful and round as a peach and a plum.

She was a natural beauty and it was no wonder that the old emperor was fascinated by her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Concubine Xiao knew that the man she was thinking about was coming.

She stood up happily, smiled and swayed forward.

"My Lord..."

This coquettish low moan made all men melt.

Murong Yu's face was as cold as autumn water, and so was his voice,

"What is the important thing the Imperial Concubine had to talk with this King about?"

She couldn't bear it for a long time, and looked at him directly,

"Since the Prince has finally come here, why not sitting down first..."

As she said, she held his arm and pulled him towards herself.

"If there is nothing wrong with the Imperial Concubine, this King will be leaving the Palace now."

He coldly withdrew his hand...There was no warmth on his face.

"The Prince, you asked this Consort to enter the Palace to serve His Majesty.

Now, does the Prince want to abandon the chess piece in the Palace to her fate?"

Concubine Xiao was sad and moving.

"If 'to get wind you need wind and to get rain you need rain', in this harem, haven't you got your major status already as the queen? Are you still not satisfied?"

※※ Murong Yu is referring to a famous Chinese saying "yào fēng dé fēng, yào yǔ dé yǔ" that means "each thing has a status to which they can aim to, like wind can only aim to be wind and rain can only aim to be rain, Concubine Xiao can only aim to be a Consort Concubine Queen, which she is already. She cannot aim to be Imperial Consort, Empress or something higher than her status of Concubine Consort." That's what Murong Yu is saying very drastically and coldly. Very similar to the American saying "If you have lemons make lemonade"

"What does this Consort want as the queen?

Does the Prince really not know it?

This Consort always wants the Prince."

She simply opened her heart and placed it in front of him, her beautiful eyes full of tears, full of hope, and arousing love.

She is well versed in the psychology of men.

'All men in the world have a desire to protect women.

Seeing a delicate, tearful, and charming woman like myself, he will feel caring.

The old Emperor is like this, and the Royal King is no exception.'

Murong Yu's eyes were extremely cold,

"Remember your identity.

Don't worry about things you shouldn't think about; don't do what you shouldn't do.

This King will pretend he heard nothing this time.

However if there is another time, this King will Never tolerate!"

Concubine Xiao seemed to be severely hit, and then took two steps back.

"This Consort is doing this to help the Prince.

As long as Your Majesty dies, won't this Great Kingdom of Yan be yours?"

"If this King really has that mind, he won't rely on a women to pave the way."

His dark pupils shrank coldly, completely ignoring her reaction.

She looked at his eyes that looked like cold stars in the night sky, bit her lower lip lightly, and her heart fell deeper.

She didn't speak to the wrong man.

The man she fancied had extraordinary talents, the attitude of observing sentient, and the lofty ambition.

Although he was a little arrogant, he had a big heart.

She had an obsession and admiration for his character...

"I see. Then why did the prince want me to enter the Palace...?

What does he want me to do?"

"The time has not arrived yet.

Without the instructions of the King, you'd better not act rashly, otherwise, this King can't keep you!"

Murong Yu pressed a cold sentence, never looked at her, and walked away.

Concubine Xiao obsessively watched him drift away until he was swallowed by darkness, and said in her heart:

'The Crown Prince of the Great Kingdom of Yan will eventually be stepped on by you, and I'll be the only woman standing side by side with you.'
