The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 35: Loss (Part 1)

That night, in the middle of the night the prince came to the residence of his little concubine. She checked the state of her little concubine, she felt relieved when she found out that the little concubine had been able to sleep soundly all day. He checked the state of the body of the little concubine, the prince was surprised the recovery of the body of the little concubine was very good. His body is undergoing a very rapid recovery.

"Prince." call Xixi's little concubine slowly

"Little concubine is awake?" ask the prince a warming voice

"Prince, I'm so thirsty" said the little concubine in a hoarse voice.

The prince took the water to his little concubine, his voice sounded like drought. The prince gave the drink carefully. The prince let his little concubine fall asleep on his lap. He rubbed the head of little concubine Xixi gently. He wanted to give comfort to his little concubine.

"I'm so happy to see you've recovered." whispered the prince as he gently rubbed the little concubine's head.

The prince sat quietly to give comfort to the little concubine who was asleep on his lap. The prince looked gently at the face of his little concubine who was still a little pale. The prince touched every part of his little concubine's face. She misses the face of her little concubine who looks so pretty with her little reddish cheeks. She misses the smile of her little concubine who looks so sweet with her tiny pink lips.

"I miss your smile so much." whispered the prince as he sighed in despair

Throughout the night the prince only looked at the gentle face of the little concubine and gently rubbed the head of the little concubine. His longing to be with the little concubine grew even more unstoppable, wanting it to feel like he was running away from the palace and taking away his little concubine. But all of that he would not be able to do because of the physical limitations he has. The prince did not want to be a burden to the little concubine outside the palace.

The sun had risen, its rays began to enter the small concubine's room. The prince carefully laid his little concubine on the bed and left the small concubine's residence. The prince kissed the little concubine's lips overtime before leaving.

"See you later tonight." whispered the gentle prince.

Before long the prince left the room, a palace ladyboy came inside carrying a large bucket of water. Without the instructions of the palace lady who poured the water into the body of a small concubine who was still asleep.

"awake. The princess calls you." shouted the palace lady-in-waiting viciously.

The body of the little concubine wet all. The cold woke him up. The little concubine immediately turned towards the palace lady with a cold gaze. The palace attendant who disliked that gaze, hatefully slapped his cheek.

"How dare you look at me like that. Quickly get up." shouted the palace lady with a gaze full of contempt.

The little concubine got up from her bed in very wet clothes. Unconcerned about the words of the palace lady, the little concubine changed her clothes. He was cold to the palace lady. After she finished preparing, the little concubine went to follow the palace lady to the residence of Ye Xiwu's daughter. There the cruel princess was already waiting with a cruel look.

"Take it." Ye Xiwu's daughter ordered.

Princess Ye Xiwu threw a small knife and ordered the little concubine to mow the grass growing in her flower garden. Everyone knew with that little blade, he could cut all the grass at the earliest within a day. Without saying anything, the little concubine left Ye Xiwu's daughter and went towards the flower garden. Arriving there, the little concubine saw the grass that had risen and bushy. The little concubine only let out a small sigh and started to work.

It had been half a day for the little concubine to cut the grass there. With an empty stomach, a dry throat and a hot body due to the scorching sun, the little concubine was still trying to solve everything. His body trembled from exhaustion and hunger.

"Jiang Xi, what's wrong?" ask the little concubine slowly.

"The evidence we gathered, all of it is gone without a trace" Jiang Xi said.

"What?" shouted the surprised little concubine.

The little concubine was so shocked by the news, her body grew even more trembling and eventually fell weak. She was crying without a sound. Just giving a mute expression. He could not believe that all the efforts made to find the evidence had been lost. Little concubine Xixi felt the deepest despair. Previously he had withstood this treatment, hoping to turn things around. But now all the suffering he experienced was in vain.

"I'm sorry little concubine servant. Servants will try to get it back" Jiang Xi said trying to calm him down

"Haha.. What will you get? It's all gone. Nothing else proves that Ye Xiwu's daughter and the finance minister are the brains behind all this slander." said the little concubine full of despair.

The concubine laughed very loudly but sounded very painful. He laughed even harder, but his tears kept flowing down his pale and weak cheeks. In an instant the laughter turned silent. The face of the little concubine turned cold and flat. He didn't say anything else. The little concubine simply gave the code for Jiang Xi to leave before her. Like not the soul of a little concubine, she changed drastically. He just kept quiet while finishing his job. His hand was injured and bleeding from small scratches cutting through the grass. The pain in his hand was no longer felt, all the pain was gone. His soul seems to be disappearing. Now there is only a body like a living corpse.

The work of mowing the lawn was finally completed when the moon had already risen. Probably around 11 p.m. He returned to his residence. He lay on his bed with a cold look towards the ceiling of his room. With a flat expression, she cried without a sound. In the middle of the night the prince came to his room, he saw the little concubine who was still awake.

"Little concubine hasn't slept?" ask the prince gently.

The prince smiled and kissed the little concubine's forehead. But the smile on the prince's lips instantly disappeared upon hearing the words of little concubine Xixi.

"The evidence is gone. We lost everything." said the little concubine quietly.

The prince was surprised by the news. The prince let out a disappointed sigh, now he understood the expression on the face of his little concubine.

"I'll keep protecting you. I will find a solution to all these problems." said the prince slowly.

"Prince, is this all fair to me?" ask the little concubine in a soft voice.

"You don't say that. I will get justice for you." said the prince sadly.

"Prince, would I rather go. I want to rest a long time." said the little concubine sounding scary.

"Don't leave me. I'm still here for you." said the prince in full plea.

"I'm tired of the prince." said the little concubine.
