Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
Gold coins and thumbs
All the books in Wu Li Mei's pavilion were taken to Ming Country, the collection of books he could not choose one after another so it should be read entirely. The books were neatly arranged inside a large crate and put into the ship one by one. This clear morning was the day of Wu Li Mei and Emperor Zhou's departure to return to the Ming Land after a week. The only thing that made the concubine feel heavy was having to go back to parting with her parents, even though she had no memory of them, but this corner of the body's heart had. His heart felt so sad and tight when the farewell finally arrived.
Liu Yang Li, the mother was unable to hold back her tears from dripping. Just met the beloved princess after a long time, now they have to go back apart and live their lives. Liu Yang Li approached to hug the princess, he kissed Wu Li Mei's forehead fondly. “Be careful, Mei-may, whatever happens never give up on the situation. You can live every day hard with a smile, never give up my son's hope. I will always support you, I will love you all the time.”
“Mother, I love you.” Wu Li Mei replied with a bright smile, she did not want to join in crying at this farewell. “Mother, may you live a long and healthy life, I may not be able to visit often but I will send herbs to you and father.”
“You're so good, Mei-may, mom values it so much.”
Liu Yang Li stroked the princess's pretty face, “Take care of yourself.”
Wu Li Mei nodded, she turned to the father who was looking at her in the shade. “Dad, are you really going to leave the palace?”
After the father is no longer emperor, Wu Zhang Hao, the father of the great concubine will leave the palace. Wu Li Mei knew her father wanted peace in his old age, and his mother would follow. They would live in a peaceful mountain-top pavilion, spending their old age happily gardening. Enough with his power and dark story, now is the time to get closer to the god.
Wu Zhang Hao nodded, “Yes, you can visit us next time. Heng Shui Pavilion is quite close from your country, Mei-mei.”
“Really? Then I'll take the time to visit another time.” Wu Li Mei replied, “I have to go father, may you always live a long and healthy life, may the gods always bless you.”
Wu Li Mei and the emperor immediately entered the ship after that heartwarming farewell, they had to leave immediately in order to arrive at the Ming Country in time. There will be a storm waiting for them when night falls, and hopefully there are no obstacles on the way home this time. Hang Country welcomed the return of its honored guests with great joy, because somehow they could meet again, maybe the time will answer it.
Wu Li Mei closed her eyes, permeating the peaceful wind of the sea blowing down her face. His heart was calm staring at the expanse of sea and sky that met at the horizon line, the different blue was a barrier that this world was very vast. The sky was bright as a sign that the concubine's heart was also broken. He couldn't wait to meet his loved ones, he couldn't wait to make an antidote with Physician Zhong, and the grand concubine couldn't wait to start her battle with Yang Jia Li.
“Please wait for me, Yang Jia Li!” wu Li Mei said with a wicked grin.

“Arrrrggghhh! What is this, damn it, keep it away from me!”
“Dayang! Keep it away from me fast!”
“Dayang Yue! Shit, where is he. Dayang!?”
“What's up, Your Honor?” Dayang Yue walked over to Yang Jia Li who shouted loudly. “Your Majesty?”
“That!” point at Yang Jia Li, the palace woman pointed at a pouch of hers that contained a gold coin. But after he saw the contents again, the entrails of Yang Jia Li really wanted to force out. The empress covered her nose and mouth with hanfu arms, “Throw it, Dayang! Quickly dispose!”
“Ba-okay, Your Highness.”
“Gosh! What is this?!” Dayang Yue screeched as she touched the object, a pair of thumbs that were deliberately cut off, full of blood and maggots. The lady-in-waiting closed her mouth because she wanted to vomit, the stinging stench made them even more dizzy. “What is this, Your Majesty?”
“I don't know, I just got it and. The contents are terrible.” Yang Jia Li replied, the empress climbed onto her bed while shivering in horror. “I'm not sure, but the bag is mine and I'm giving it to no one.”
Yang Jia Li was still trying to recall how he found the thing, but the only thing he remembered was when he woke up from his sleep earlier. He had found the bag lying on the nightstand near his bed. Who would dare to do this to him, just look, Yang Jia Li will avenge him just as ruthlessly.
“Ya-His Highness, a-there's a small letter in it.”
“Surat?” Yang Jia Li frowned, he quickly looked back at those two blood-soaked thumbs. Sure enough, there was a paper roll tied between those rotten thumbs. “Quick grab the mail!”
“But... His Holiness.”.
“Take or you I kill!”
“Ba-good!”
The lady-in-waiting immediately picked up the small paper scroll after much pain, after it was taken, the scroll was handed over to Yang Jia Li. But the empress just glared and away, “You are crazy! I don't want to read that paper, Dayang Yue, quickly read!”
“Good, Your Highness.”
Dayang Yue sighed deeply before grabbing the blood-filled paper scroll, the stench as she opened it really made her entrails want to come out right then and there. Dayang Yue opened the paper, “Uekk!”
“I told you to read instead of vomiting, you useless lady! Quick read!” yang Jia Li.
“Iya, Your Grace.”
The paper roll was written in a few words, it was blurry and blurred from being exposed to the blood and foul-smelling liquid from the severed thumb. Dayang Yue was unsure of what he was reading, but still tried well to spell out one letter after another. “Quick! You can read, right?!” asked Yang Jia Li.
The lady-in-waiting nodded her head in fear, “Can, Your Majesty.”
“Then what is it?” urged Yang Jia Li to be full of emotions, he had just woken up from a deep sleep and found the golden coin pouch containing the rotting object.
“This is written, emm... Wait for me, Yang Jia Li.”
