Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
You're mine
“Mother must be wrong people because I have always been in the palace, so where might I go to the market to open a drug store?” the Wu Li Mei.
“Didn't concubines and empresses not be allowed to leave the palace without permission, let alone to manage a drugstore. Mom is how, where might I be able to do it.”
The queen mother was like wavering hearing that, thinking again about how Wu Li Mei could get out of the palace even though she was taking care of a cranky little baby. But in her small heart, the queen mother believed that the owner of the drugstore was Wu Li Mei, or perhaps someone of the same surname as her, although very unlikely. The Wu clan only belonged to the bloodline of the Hang Empire, the Wu Li Mei lineage only. The queen mother had indeed heard of several small clans of the same surname, but they lived in a very distant place. “Is that right not you, Mei-may?”
“Not bu.”
“But I'm sure if it's you, you're very good at concocting drugs right.”
“If it's just concocting medicine, Physician Zhong is much smarter, I've just learned from him.” Wu Li Mei said convincingly. “I used to visit the palace health center a lot, and again taking care of Zhou Fang Yin made me learn a lot about how to concoct the correct medicine. Long-time so I can do it and interested to learn more.”
“Is that true? I still believe that Madame Wu is you Mei--”
“What's mommy doing here?”
The queen mother and Wu Li Mei compactly turned their heads, they found the imperial entourage had come to the grand concubine pavilion without any prior invitation, even Wu Li Mei was shocked.
“Greetings, Your Grace.”
“What are you doing in the grand concubine pavilion?” emperor Zhou asked directly at the core where he was curious about the presence of the queen mother. “What is the mother's health already much better? Why did you leave without a stretcher? Let me ask the bodyguard to bring you a stretcher yes.”
“No need!” reject the queen mother, “I need a lot of moving and sweating to stay fit. My age has not even touched a century but it feels like my body is very old, I do not want to die quickly, I want to live long.”
“This mom said what, of course mom will live long!” wu Li Mei.
The emperor also nodded for the good of his mother, “Iya, the mother will live a long life and watch the new emperor ascend the throne. As far as possible as the late grandmother used to be.”
“Ah, right too, mother has not visited grandma for a long time. I miss him.” Said the Queen Mother while sighing deeply, longing for the mother figure that now only exists in her old memory is very heartbreaking. To meet again was clearly impossible, unless they gathered in the garden of heaven together later.
Funeral ceremonies in this country are usually buried in the ground and made a magnificent tombstone such as a gate, or with cremation. It all depends on the request of the person concerned, especially for the grandmother of the emperor, he asked to be cremated and his ashes scattered upstream of the main river, that is the largest mountain peak of the country so that the water can flow up to the estuary and he can continue there guarding the country.
Dayang Yi came upon learning there was an emperor there too, he took over Zhou Jiang Wu from Wu Li Mei's sling for him to sleep in the room alone. “What about Zhou Jiang Wu? Does he trouble you, Mei’er?” ask emperor.
Wu Li Mei shook her head, “Not at all, she has not troubled me at all Your Majesty. It is precisely I am happy that there is him my pavilion is so more colorful, the crown prince and Princess Fang Yin are very helpful in taking care of Jiang Wu.”
“They also come often?”
“Very often mothers, especially Teacher Zhang is away and they spend more time playing with Jiang Wu.” Wu Li Mei.
“But where is the crown prince today? I saw him early in the morning riding and carrying an arrow bow.”
Wu Li Mei nodded her head, “Iya, she went hunting in the forest with her bodyguards because she was bored of continuing to be in the palace without sword activities or fighting exercises.”

Running and running until it felt like his legs were no longer able to be made to run, the girl was panting while leaning against a large shady tree, which was not able to be made to run anymore, swerving to the right and to the left ensures that no one is chasing him anymore.
But, just about to take a sigh of relief, he was startled by the clattering of horse legs that stopped right in front of him. A young man riding him looked straight ahead while putting an arrow in his bow, it seemed like he was still unaware of Xu Ling Xi's whereabouts there, because the eyebrows swooped like an eagle that was eyeing its prey.
He concentrated, his arrows pointed at the deer ten of them away from him. In one very, very fast pull, the arrow shot through the neck of the deer until it fell down covered in blood. “You think you can run from me.” The gum is proud because it can drop a deer that is large enough.
The young man got off his horse, “God! You who?”
“Sttt ... “ Xu Ling Xi pasted her index finger in front of her lips.
Xu Ling Xi also approached the young man of the same age as the older brother, judging from any angle he was not a commoner. Not to mention the sturdy shoulder that does not seem to have any load, “Tu-tuan, help me, I was chased by a group of people who want to hurt me.”
“Injury? But you okay?”
“That's because I managed to run, I was left behind from my sister's entourage and went deep into the forest then met them all.”
“How can I trust you, miss? Who knows if you're such a pretty little con man. And now I'm getting into your trap.”
Xu Ling Xi rounded her eyes, she shook her head firmly. “I'm not a cheater, look at my clothes just like master. Don't I look like a noble lady? If you still don't believe me, I can show you where I come from.” The answer.
The young lady picked up a white jade ornament and engraved her name from the necklace around her neck, where it was written ‘Xu Ling Xi’ as an identification of the lady.
“Ahha!! This is it we're looking for friends!”
“Hei! He's here!”
“Nona, where are you going to run hm?”
A group of people consisting of five men with delinquent looks came over to them, Xu Ling Xi trembled in fear and she immediately hid within the sturdy body of the young horseman earlier. “They are who?” ask the young man.
“They ... they want to harm me.” Xu Ling Xi said in fear, she clasped firmly onto the young man's hanfu arm without a care. “Please me, really help me!!”
The young man's sharp eyes shone forward, intimidating and asserting himself that he was not an indiscriminate person. “Who are you? And what is your relationship with this lady?!”
“She's ours, she'll we sell to a brothel for prostitution. We'll get money from there. But before that we have to feel him first, hahahha.” Those cunning laughter were airing from the five youths, they were obviously going to do an inappropriate deed to Xu Ling Xi.
“He's mine, you guys go!” said the young man declared that Xu Ling Xi was his so that they would not interfere.
“Can't be that easy, we've found him first!” answer one of the five delinquents, “You must hand him over or we fight alone, one against five we definitely win.”
“Don't get cocky first!” a small grin appeared on that handsome face, he grabbed Xu Ling Xi, rubbing the top of the frightened girl's head. “You wait here, I'll finish them off first.”
Five against one, it sounded ridiculous but Xu Ling Xi could not prevent it. He could only remain silent and fixated on the spot as the young man who had come with his horse swiftly finished off one by one his opponent with his bare hands. It wasn't at all difficult for him to beat them, it wasn't until the five minutes the five young man collapsed and vomited blood.
The young man's foot stomped firmly on the chest of one of the young men who had since led the group, “Go and never disturb mine again. If I find out you're still bothering women, I'll kill you right then and there.”
“Ba-ba-good .. “
The five young men ran away from there, they did not turn their heads anymore while enduring the pain all over his body that was severely beaten by the young man. With firm steps, he walked over to Xu Ling Xi.
“Thank you, sir, thank you for helping me.”
“Sama-sama.” Answer, “But this is not free.”
“I have to pay? Whatever I will pay for you, let's visit my family home.” Take Xu Ling Xi, he was sure his father and mother could fulfill the young man's wishes.
The young man smiled slightly, he approached and cleared away the dust that had stuck to the lady's face. “I don't need money, I have a lot at home. After all I already have something far more valuable than money, and I just said that to the five young men earlier, miss.”
“What is it?”
“You, you are mine now.”
