The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 23: Chen Family Execution Day

That morning the sky was a little cloudy. The sunlight does not look as bright as usual. The palace guards took commander Chen Zhen and his family to the execution site. The entire Chen family was rudely taken, they were all treated like traitors. There is no good or refined attitude to men, women, even small children. They are all considered traitors.

The entire Chen family was on a stand in front of the palace gate, their entire eyes were closed and they were seated facing the entire Xiao palace folk. Commander Chen Zhen sat at the very front. They waited for 30 minutes before finally being executed. Whether officials or courtiers Xiao, they all insulted, chided, and even threw whatever was in their hands. They get such low insults. This insult is equivalent to the actions of the palace commander.

The little concubine looked at the humiliation with a satisfied smile. The look on his face was so scary. The heart of the little concubine was being enveloped in an evil nature. There is no mercy. There is no forgiveness. To this little concubine was the karma that the Chen family had to obtain due to the vile and greedy nature of palace commander Chen Zhen.

"May the heavens forgive their innocent families" said the little concubine in her heart.

The emperor looked at the disappointment as well as the deep sadness to his little friend. The emperor could only witness this heartbreaking event. From a distance there was someone observing everything. That guy looks really angry. He clenched his hand a sign of such great anger.

"Sir, we'd better get back" said his men.

"All right" said the man.

They left the execution site. They disappeared in the crowd of people watching the execution. Thirty minutes have passed. Time for execution. The entire palace executioner was deployed to deliver a bowl of poison once drunk by the prince. In a countdown, the entire Chen family drank the poison. In just a matter of seconds the poison reacted in their bodies. The entire Chen family spewed out an extremely viscous black blood and one by one their lives were lost.

The emperor and the prince closed both eyes, they were unable to see this execution. Unknowingly the emperor's tears trickled down his cheeks as a sign of grief at the loss of a friend. However the gaze of the little concubine was different, she continued to stare at the medicinal reaction from the body of commander Chen Zhen. He continued to observe the palace commander. He did not want his plan to fail. That look looks so scary.

"Little concubine, let's go back" said the gentle prince.

"Alright" said the gentle little concubine.

The little concubine changed her facial expression. He smiled slightly and left the execution together with the prince. The little concubine accompanied the prince at his residence until the afternoon. The little concubine gave the prince a sleeping pill, so that he could sleep soundly and not know the hidden plan.

"I forgive the prince's servant. It's all for your own good." whispered the little concubine inwardly.

The little concubine left the prince's residence secretly. He asked the entire body of the Chen family to one of his men disguised as a palace guard.

"Where's the body?" ask the little concubine.

"They were all placed in a large hole behind the palace. Their bodies were piled up in that big hole and soon they will be burned" the palace guard said.

The little concubine assisted by Jiang Xi went towards the Chen family's burning place. They searched the body of commander Chen Zhen inside the pile. Jiang Xi brought the body of the palace commander to his hiding place.

"Take the body to the hiding place. Take this pill every 3 hours. If she regains consciousness, tell me." said the little concubine.

"Alright" Jiang Xi said briefly.

"The prince is awake?" the little concubine asked softly as she looked at the prince who opened his eyes.

"Hm, why did I go to bed earlier?" ask prince.

"Looks like the prince is exhausted. That's why the prince's body wants to rest and sleep." said the gentle little concubine.

"Does the prince want to eat?" ask the little concubine.

The prince just nodded his head. The little concubine went to the palace kitchen and prepared a dinner for the prince. He cooked ginseng chicken soup for his health. The prince was very fond of the cooking skills of the little concubine. Ever since the poison incident, the little concubine had not allowed any court lady to cook food for the prince.

"Look at what I'm cooking. It's so delicious." said the gentle little concubine.

"It looks so delicious." said the prince excitedly.

The little concubine bribed him as usual. The affection given by the little concubine was very big and sincere. That love is more than anyone. That great sincerity made the little concubine able to repay anyone cruelly if they dared to call the prince's body even if it was just a small scratch.

"Eat a lot" said the little concubine.

The prince smiled and ate voraciously. The little concubine was very happy to see the prince smiling happily. The prince rested on his bed after dinner.

"Little concubine, get me a war strategy book. I want to read it." the prince ordered.

The little concubine brought all the prince's war strategy books. All night the prince read the book. The little concubine accompanied him by looking from the dining table. The little concubine smiled slightly as she looked at the prince's extremely handsome face while he was reading the book seriously. The little concubine who looked tired, was unable to accompany the prince to read. The little concubine finally fell asleep there. The little concubine slept very well. The prince, who finished reading his book, took the little concubine to his bed and put her to sleep comfortably.

"Good night." whispered the gentle prince.

The prince gently kissed the little concubine's forehead and slept beside her. That night they both fell asleep until the morning.

That morning the birds woke him up. He opened his eyes and saw that his body was already lying on the prince's bed. The little smiling concubine looked at the handsome face of the sleeping prince.

"Thank you." whispered gently to the little concubine.

The little concubine got up from her bed and got ready to prepare the prince's breakfast. Today he intends to take the prince to the peach garden. The little concubine wanted to teach martial arts to the prince. For the prince to have a basic technique to learn a higher science. He wanted to mold himself a prince into a strong and wise imperial candidate. So that he can protect his people and be loved by his people wholeheartedly. The little concubine left the prince's residence heading to his residence to retrieve the sword she had made especially for the prince to study
