The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 19: Evidence Gained

Eventually the two masked men gave up. They say everything that happened. They also gave all the evidence that led to the palace commander. The prince was very surprised and did not expect that the right hand of the emperor had become a traitor. The Emperor must have been very sad to hear this fact.

"Give this to them" said the little concubine.

Jiang Xi gave her the antidote. They're back to their original state. They were locked up in a special room.

"Then what are you going to do now?" ask prince.

"Jiang Xi is going to the residence to look for the account of the book said by them and I am going to the military headquarters of the palace to look for other evidence secretly" said the concubine.

"You guys be careful. I feel like the commander-in-chief is just a pawn." said the prince.

"We understand." said the little concubine and Jiang Xi simultaneously.

The prince and the little concubine returned to the palace. They returned to the palace without the knowledge of the people in the palace. The two re-examined the evidence obtained and began to devise a plan to bring down the palace commander. They were talking so seriously that suddenly an arrow shot out from the outside and almost hit the prince. A small concubine caught the arrow. He saw there was a small scroll of letters and in it was written a threat.

"What's the letter?" ask prince.

"It's not a prince. Just a threatening letter." said the little concubine.

"Who do you think he is?" ask prince.

"It looks like they already know our movements and are threatening us to stop this investigation" the concubine said.

The prince was very worried about the state of his little concubine. She didn't want her little concubine to get hurt again.

"Prince, how about we go for a walk?" ask the little concubine.

"Where are we going?" said prince.

"We're going for a walk in the peach garden. I want to be alone with the prince." said the little concubine.

The prince immediately smiled and prepared. The little concubine understood the prince's feelings. His heart is troubled. The little concubine tried to shift the anxiety of the prince's heart. He wanted to make the prince's heart happy.

That night the little concubine took the prince to the peach garden. Under the beautiful moonlight with the cool air. They sit together and enjoy it by drinking tea that refreshes the body.

"Prince." whispered the little concubine in the prince's ear.

"Hm" said the prince with a shy blush.

"I love you." whispered the little concubine

"I love you too" said the gentle prince.

The little concubine smiled happily. He raised his head on the prince's shoulder. Both of them enjoy the moonlight with full of affection.

"Prince, if one day you can see my face. Do you still love me like this?" ask the little concubine.

"Hm, my feelings will not disappear" said the prince.

"If one day I go very far. Are you going to look for me?" ask the little concubine

"Don't say it." cried the prince.

The little concubine was very surprised. He looked at the prince and saw the prince's gaze filled with fear.

"Please don't ask that question again. I don't like it." said the prince again softening his voice.

The prince said no more. She just hugged her little concubine tightly. In that embrace there was a sense of sadness and not wanting to lose. The prince could no longer speak and only hugged his little concubine all night. The little concubine regretted saying it all. He regretted once again making his loved ones sad. Although in reality, maybe one day he was forced to leave the prince.

The night was getting late, the prince brought the little concubine back into his room. The prince, who was still agitated, was only able to hug the body of his little concubine while asleep. She didn't want to wake up, her little concubine disappeared.

Morning's approaching. The sound of birds chirping in the morning woke the prince from his unsettled sleep. The prince enlisted the help of the palace attendants to prepare a small concubine breakfast for the first time. The prince woke up his little concubine affectionately and gently.

"Little concubine get up." whispered the prince.

The little concubine opened her eyes and a small smile greeted the prince. The little concubine got up and started cleaning. He accompanied the prince to breakfast. The little concubine was very happy to see the prince's face that had started to beaming back.

"Prince" said the little concubine

"Hm" answered the prince.

"Why is the prince today so handsome" said the little concubine as she gently pinched the prince's cheek.

"Because I am destined to be handsome." said the prince confidently.

The little concubine laughed at the prince's words. He did not expect the prince to be able to show a narcissistic attitude. Listening to the happy laughter of the little concubine, made the prince come laughing. They continued their breakfast and went towards the emperor's residence afterwards.

Unexpectedly, they saw the palace commander was at the emperor's residence. Eyes full of sharp and intimidating gazes stared ruthlessly at the prince and the little concubine.

"Prince and concubine here? Greetings to the prince and the little concubine." said the palace commander full of pleasantries

"Greetings to the commander of the palace." greet the prince and the little concubine together.

"Congratulations to the wedding of the prince and the little concubine. Servants pray that you live happily." said the palace commander.

"Thank you commander" said the prince with a smile full of pretense.

The palace chief left them. The prince tried to calm down, coming to greet the emperor. The prince only wanted to see the state of the emperor. The prince was greatly relieved after seeing the emperor's fine condition. The little concubine left both. The two boy's fathers chatted casually at the emperor's residence.

"Eunuch Li." cried the little concubine from a distance as she looked at her figure.

"Why are you shouting like that? Pay attention to your status now." said eunuch Li firmly.

"I'm sorry" said the little concubine softly.

The little concubine lowered her head like a father scolding his daughter.

"Huh, that's it." said eunuch Li with a long sigh.

Eunuch Li and the little concubine conversed under the tree. They chatted with excitement like a father and daughter who had not met for a long time.

"Do you take good care of the prince?" eunuch Li asked with a look full of doubt.

"Don't look at me like that eunuch Li. You can count on me. I look after the prince very well." said the little concubine spoiledly.

"Hm, I know your character. Don't let me down." said eunuch Li.

"Calm down. I'm very good at keeping princes." said the little concubine

Both of them chuckled as they listened to the words of the little concubine. Eunuch Li was very happy to see a very happy little concubine. She already considered the little concubine as her daughter. Although Eunuch Li was very strict with the little concubine, but in the depths of her heart, she was very fond of the little concubine.

"I have to finish my job. You don't play around." said eunuch Li affectionately.
