The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 44: The Return of Prince Xiao San (Part 1)

Finally the three of them were already on the silver cave hill. No one had ever expected the departure of prince Xiao San this time not only could cure his little concubine, but it could also heal his eyes even luck being on the prince's side. Not only did he get his little concubine back but he also got a very smart son.

After the three returned to the silver cave hill, suddenly the silver cave door opened and now they could return to the palace. They walked towards the door of the silver cave, there waiting for a young man. Upon seeing the silver cave door open, the young man ran over and stood before the silver cave door. Prince Xiao San smiled as he looked at the figure of the young man.

"Young man, are you still here?" asked the prince with pleasure.

"Hm, I promised to wait for the prince here. Servants are happy to see the prince again." said the young healer with a sumringah face.

"How are you doing Chen Yi?" ask the little concubine slowly.

"You know her little concubine?" asked the prince with a surprised face.

"He's my adopted brother, my prince and my little disciple" said the little concubine smiling.

"You know the little concubine? Why didn't you say anything?" the prince asked slightly angrily as he pulled Chen Yi's collar.

"I forgive the prince's servant. The little concubine forbade the servant to tell anyone about the identity of the servant." said Chen Yi who was terrified.

"It's been.. Already.." said the little concubine softly while divorcing them.

Finally they cleared up this misunderstanding and left the silver cave hill. They rode on the horse carriage that Chen Yi had prepared. Prince Xiao San, little concubine Xixi and Xiao Jiwu were inside the horse carriage while Chen Yi was riding the horse carriage. For days they traveled while devising a plan to avenge the deeds of Ye Xiwu's daughter and her father.

"Little concubine, we must first go to the border region to meet some of your men. They were sent by Jiang Xi to be your bodyguards" Chen Yi said.

Then Chen Yi turned the direction of the horse and went towards the border. They decided to fight against all the traitors in the palace. Whoever it is without exception. For those who have hurt them and those people are their enemies. The journey they went through was quite long. But the fatigue they do not feel for the sake of reaching their desires.

Finally they reached the border area, there were hundreds of troops who were willing to help small concubines and princes. All the troops followed the prince's horse carriage towards Xiao's palace. After two months of travel, they finally arrived at the gate of Xiao palace. However, there is something that feels strange about the current condition of the palace. The palace looks very different. Prince Xiao San tried to get inside the palace, but the palace gate guards were in the way. They remained adamant to enter and eventually gained resistance from the palace gate guards. The palace gate guards pointed swords towards them.

"Bad. Don't you know me?" asked prince Xiao San while showing his prince's plaque.

"We are just following orders from emperor Xiao Ge. The prince is forbidden to return to the palace because he is considered a traitor" said one of the gatekeepers.

"Capture the prince and everyone around him." a strict order from one of the palace's gatekeepers.

"Don't look, if the prince isn't ready to see something bad like this" said the concubine, closing the prince's eyes with both eyes.

"It's okay. I'm doing fine. I must get used to seeing this bad thing." said the prince as he let go of his little concubine's hand.

Prince Xiao San continued to observe the fight, the prince felt anxiety. However, their army was outnumbered by the palace troops. Slowly, one by one the prince's troops fell in the hands of the palace troops. The prince began to reveal an expression of anxiety, subconsciously holding the hand of his little concubine. His little concubine couldn't stay quiet with all this. He held both of the prince's cheeks and looked at him with confidence.

"Does the prince believe me?" said the gentle little concubine.

"What do you mean?" asked the prince curiously.

The little concubine gave Xiao Jiwu into the sling of prince Xiao San. The little concubine took the sword of one of her troops. He took hold of the sword and began to draw it out to the palace troops. In the end one by one the palace troops were uprooted with small concubine sword attacks. Until finally a small concubine can balance the strength of his army with the palace troops. Even though his body was already tired from having to exert all his strength, he tried to stay on his feet to support his body to fight against the palace troops.

"Little concubine.. Watch out.." cried the prince when he saw one of the palace troops attacking him.

The little concubine who was already feeling exhausted, was unable to hear the shout and she ended up getting stabbed by the sword of one of the palace troops. Seeing that event, the prince handed Xiao Jiwu over to Chen Yi.

"Protect my little son." said the prince briefly.

Prince Xiao San drew the sword of one of his troops and ran to help his little concubine. His eyes turned red and his face turned scary. Fury controlled him, and with fury he drew the sword into the palace. He slashed the necks of the palace troops who attacked the little concubine.

"Little concubine, are you okay?" the prince asked, wrapping the wound with a cloth.

"I'm doing fine. Don't worry." said the little concubine while enduring the pain.

The prince tried to help her up and broke her up. The little concubine refused. He tried to stand up and defend against the palace troops.

"Don't worry about me. The prince better help me to finish them off" said the little concubine holding her wound.

Eventually the two teamed up to attack the palace troops. Their sword moves are the same, so they fight by doing sword moves in pairs. The two began to finish off the palace troops. It took a long time to kill them all. In the end, all the soldiers who were blocking them were killed. They managed to enter the Xiao palace. They entered triumphantly.
