The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 31: The Loss of Little Consort Xixi (Part 1)

After saving her from death, Jiang Xi brought little concubine Xixi to the hideout of their organization. Jiang Xi brought little concubine Xixi with a still weak body. They left the lake.

At the palace precisely in the residence of the little concubine Xixi, the prince Xiao San along with the palace ladies and palace guards looking for the whereabouts of little concubine Xixi. The entire palace was courted by them without the slightest gap. However, they did not get any results. All nil.

All day palace dwellers were busy looking for the existence of little concubine Xixi. All the residents of the residence of the little concubine Xixi were very anxious about the loss of their little concubine.

"How did it go?" the prince was very worried.

"We did not find the whereabouts of little concubine Xixi, the Prince" said one of the palace guards.

The night was getting late, everything looked very exhausted. The prince decided to temporarily halt the search. The prince let them rest. The prince desperately sat inside his little concubine's room and waited for her return expectantly. She tried to beat her drowsiness and kept her eyes open in order to see the return of her little concubine. It turned out that drowsiness could not be contained anymore, until finally the prince closed his eyes and fell asleep in his small concubine room.

Meanwhile, little concubine Xixi was still lying weakly and asleep in her hiding place with Jiang Xi. Since morning Jiang Xi guarded the little concubine tightly. He kept checking on the state of the little concubine. He wanted to make sure his body was okay.

"Jiang Xi." call the little concubine weakly.

"You're sober?" asked Jiang Xi.

The little concubine simply nodded her head weakly and smiled faintly. His eyes looked very faint, his face looked very pale and his body felt very cold. The little concubine tried to get out of her bed, but could not. Jiang Xi helped the little concubine get up and gave the medicine for her body's recovery.

"Where are we?" ask the little concubine while looking around.

"We're in the moon cave" said Jiang Xi.

"What about eunuch Li?" ask the little concubine.

"When I saved you, I didn't see the whereabouts of Eunuch Li." said Jiang Xi.

"Did you see anything strange?" ask the little concubine.

"I found nothing" Jiang Xi said as she shook her head.

"When eunuch Li pushed me into the lake, I felt something strange about her" said the little concubine suspiciously.

"Then what should we do now?" asked Jiang Xi.

"You return. I'll be here for a while. Then you secretly meet the prince and tell him everything. Tell him to keep this secret. I still want to find out the truth." said the little concubine clearly.

"Alright" said Jiang Xi.

"What about them?" ask the little concubine.

"They are still in our control. Everything is safe." said Jiang Xi.

"good. Keep telling all our men to keep them tight. I don't want anyone to escape our surveillance." said the little concubine firmly.

"The little concubine should rest. I will return to the palace." said Jiang Xi.

That morning Jiang Xi returned to the palace residence. He returned to the residence where the court healers were and rested as if nothing had happened. Jiang Xi was secretly observing the state of the palace. He was looking for the right time to meet the prince.

That morning the prince woke up with a slightly dizzy head. His anxiety made his physique weak. The prince began to search back for the existence of the little concubine. He ordered all the inhabitants of the palace both in his residence and the residence of a small concubine to search outside the palace. The prince hoped that the little concubine would only get lost on his way. The prince with a few palace guards wanted to go out looking for his little concubine. However in front of the palace gates, they were prevented by Ye Xiwu's daughter. It turned out that Ye Xiwu's daughter had already obtained an edict from emperor Xiao Ge to ban the prince from the palace.

"Would the prince remain in the palace or the prince would be considered a rebel because he did not carry out the emperor's orders" said princess Ye Xiwu slyly.

The prince just looked at her cynically. Feeling annoyed, he returned to his residence with the palace guards. Princess Ye Xiwu smiled slylyly and looked at the prince with satisfaction for his victory.

"Don't expect you to find the fox's concubine's prince." said princess Ye Xiwu.

"I won't let you be happy with that fox concubine. I am your only wife and I am the only winner" Ye Xiwu's daughter said arrogantly.

The prince returned to his residence full of anger and annoyance. He increasingly disliked the temperament possessed by Ye Xiwu's daughter. The prince tried to lock himself in while thinking of the right plan to get out of the palace. All day long he kept forcing his brain to think of the right plan. He wanted to find his little concubine immediately.

"Who is that?" shouted prince.

"Jiang Xi." whispered Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi entered the prince's residence secretly. They sat together in the prince's residence. Jiang Xi began to tell him all the events that had befallen the little concubine. The prince hit the table in front of him until it cracked. He was furious to learn that eunuch Li wanted to kill his beloved concubine.

"Is all this true?" asked the prince with anger.

"It is better for the prince to temper the prince's anger and start following the little concubine's plan." whispered Jiang Xi.

"How's the little concubine doing?" ask the prince worried.

"Calm down prince. The little concubine is very strong. He's fine." said Jiang Xi calmingly.

"Then, servant of the prince's prestige." said Jiang Xi.

"Go away." said the prince.

Jiang Xi immediately left the prince's residence to avoid suspicion. The prince's heart calmed down slightly hearing the news from Jiang Xi. At least this time the prince had to calm down and follow the plan made by his little concubine. The prince pretended to be still anxiously searching for the whereabouts of his little concubine.

That night, the palace lady-in-waiting brought food for the prince. They looked at the prince who was still on his bed with a gloomy face. They think that the prince is still worried about the existence of his beloved wife.

"You leave this room. Leave me alone." the prince ordered.

All the palace ladies and gentlemen left the prince's residence and left the prince in his solitude. Like a fire that was grabbing onto wood, news of the prince's grief began to spread throughout the residence of Princess Ye Xiwu. Her confidant palace attendant conveyed the good news to Ye Xiwu's daughter

"Haha.. Let the prince's heart be in sorrow for a while. After that I will remove her sadness and remove the name of the little concubine from her heart." said Ye Xiwu's daughter arrogantly.

Listening to the news, princess Ye Xiwu's mood looked extremely happy.
