The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 38: Silver Cave Hill (Part 2)

The prince continues to oversee the treatment. Sometimes she would fall asleep due to the fatigue of guarding her little concubine's body. For a month the treatment has continued. The prince was very grateful to be inside the silver cave hill. There is already available very fresh clear water and abundant food. There are a lot of fruits and game animals that can be caught by him.

While watching over the treatment of the little concubine, the prince also absorbed the pure energy present within the silver cave. As the little concubine had once taught, the prince absorbed the pure energy restoring all the organs within his body. That pure energy was extremely refreshing, any energy flowing within his body would feel extremely overwhelming. That pure energy could smooth the flow of blood and make the prince's body become stronger to learn the swordsmanship that his little concubine had taught him.

Every morning the prince would hunt animals to eat and every afternoon he would train his swordsmanship. In the afternoon he would cleanse the body of the little concubine and drink the medicine given by the young physician. In just three months, the results of the treatment began to show. All the wounds on the body of the little concubine began to recover as before. His pale face began to turn red. His extremely thin body turned even more contained. The heart rate that is beating very slowly is now starting to stabilize. Everything looks normal.

Exhausted, the prince fell asleep next to the little concubine. He held the hand of the little concubine tightly. He doesn't want to let go. Just wanted to be next to him. The prince slept for a long time. Suddenly a butterfly landed on his face and made him wake up from his sleep. The prince brushed the butterfly off his face, but he was shocked as it flew towards his little concubine. The prince was extremely shocked when he saw the body of the little concubine change. His body was wrapped by the tendril until it formed a cocoon. The cocoon made the little concubine invisible. The cocoon is full of many butterflies. The prince panicked, his little concubine's body invisible again.

"Little concubine." cried the prince in panic.

The prince tried to open the cocoon, he wanted to take out the body of his little concubine. But the harder the prince tried to open it, the stronger the cocoon wrapped around the little concubine. The prince was getting more panicked, there had been a lot of effort done by him, but it was all in vain. He always failed to destroy the cocoon.

"Little concubine." cried the prince full of despair.

"I beg.. I beg you." said the prince while trying to destroy it.

All day long the prince tried, but always failed. Now he's just waiting for the cocoon to open on its own. His heart was not calm, he was always pacing back and forth checking the state of the little concubine. She didn't want to lose her little concubine. It's been a week running, but the cocoon has not seen any signs of it will open. The conditions are still the same.

The prince gave it all away. She was only able to stand beside the cocoon of her little concubine. The prince hugged the cocoon and shed his tears on the cocoon. The tears absorbed into the cocoon and made the cocoon crack. The crack gave off a bright light. The prince tried to block the light that entered into his eyes with his hands. The prince was trying to see what was going on. As the light dissipated, he saw the body of his little concubine who had thoroughly recovered. The prince was so happy to see that, he smiled happily.

"Little concubine" called out to the prince while touching her face.

The prince did not believe in all this. She was so happy, she hugged the body of her little concubine tightly making sure that all of this was real. He could feel the heartbeat of the little concubine. He could feel the breath of the little concubine. The prince gently kissed the lips of his little concubine. He smiled very wide. This was the best day of his life. He could see his little concubine back.

"Prince" call a small concubine.

"I'm here. I'm here little concubine." said the prince excitedly.

"Prince." call the little concubine once more.

"I'm here. I'm here with you." said the prince holding the hand of the little concubine.

"Thank you for coming back to me." said the gentle prince.

The prince kissed the small concubine's palm and rubbed back her soft cheeks. He smiled with a smile. This is the happiest day for him. The little concubine tried to get up and hugged the prince's waist. The little concubine leaned her head on the prince's chest while tightly hugging the prince.

"I'm sorry. I can't take care of our child." whispered slowly to the little concubine in a voice full of sadness and regret.

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

"Don't say that. You are the best. I am incompetent as a husband. I've been negligent in taking care of you and our son. I promise I will always take good care of you." said the prince trying to calm him down.

The little concubine cried in the prince's arms. She still deeply regrets the loss of her future baby. The resentment in his heart towards Ye Xiwu's daughter and the finance minister was deep. He just wanted them all to pay this vengeful debt. The prince who heard the cry of the little concubine was only able to calm her down with a warm embrace. She just wanted to help the little concubine to release the pain in her heart.

"I will always be with you. Whatever you want, I will support you." said the gentle prince.

The little concubine tried to calm herself down and smiled slightly when she saw the prince's handsome face. The little concubine smiled slightly and kissed the prince's lips. The prince, surprised by the attitude of his little concubine, tried to return the kiss. Both of them smiled and were embarrassed.

Ever since the little concubine recovered from her critical state, the prince had always walked with the little concubine. The prince brought a small concubine on a walk around the silver cave hill. They also practiced with swordsmanship. They also ran together to absorb the pure energy within that silver cave hill.

"What are we going to do next, prince?" ask the little concubine.

"We need to find a magical flower. The flower can treat all wounds both inside and outside your body" said the prince.

"Alright" said the gentle little concubine.

"We'll look for him together. I will help you to get it." said the prince softly.

The prince took the hand of his little concubine. They spent time together while inside the silver cave hill. They took advantage of this moment to gain the time of the two who had once been snatched away by Ye Xiwu's daughter. They just wanted to live alone in the silver cave hill.
