The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine

Chapter 47: The Truth That Begins to Reveal (Part 1)

"Dad?" the prince was surprised.

"Tell me, are you cooperating with eunuch Li to trap us?" prince Xiao San said as he pulled the collar of his shirt to make Chen Yi suffocate.

"Please release the prince's servant. Servants don't trap you" Chen Yi said innocently.

"Tell me the truth." said the prince with a look of rage.

"Eunuch Li is my foster father and the little concubine is my teacher as well as my foster brother. The little concubine took me to eunuch Li and in the end eunuch Li adopted as her son. But Eunuch Li did not allow me to tell anyone my identity. Because eunuch Li said that if anyone found out, the safety of the little concubine would be compromised" Chen Yi explained.

"Then..?" asked the prince Xiao San who was still hesitant with the young healer's explanation.

"In the past I was angry to hear of the betrayal of foster father trapping the little concubine. But all that is not the will of the foster father. The foster father had been framed, Ye Xiwu's daughter and his father had trapped the adoptive father and given him a potion that left the foster father only able to hear and obey all their orders." said Chen Yi full of anger while clenching his hands.

"Then why did eunuch Li suddenly help us?" the prince asked in confusion.

"Until I was finally with the little concubines kidnap eunuch Li. That time Ye Xiwu's daughter felt panicked, as eunuch Li disappeared all of a sudden. I was with another young healer trying to find an antidote to treat foster father. We finally managed to recover the consciousness of the foster father. The adoptive father regretted his actions when he found out everything." Chen Yi said weakly as he lowered his head.

"Did eunuch Li meet again with the emperor?" ask prince.

"The adoptive father did not dare to come openly. He met the emperor Xiao Ge secretly. The adoptive father deeply regretted for having abandoned emperor Xiao Ge. It turned out that prince Xiao Fang and princess Ye Xiwu had imprisoned emperor Xiao Ge and controlled the Xiao kingdom. After that the foster father told the servant to meet the prince and heal the little concubine. Finally we were trapped for two years in the silver cave hill. I don't know anything else after that." said Chen Yi with a face full of regret.

Prince Xiao San who heard all that, did not expect that princess Ye Xiwu had a worse temperament than the devil. It turned out that he was really a very evil demon. Chen Yi prepared food for the prince and milk for Xiao Jiwu. The prince returned to the little concubine. He held his cold hand. His body began to pale bluish.

"Little concubine, have you had enough rest?" ask the prince weakly.

"I'm here. Are you very tired? Why don't you open your eyes?" prince Xiao San asked in despair.

She shed her tears and just looked at her little concubine with a look full of despair. He kissed the hand of the little concubine and hugged her. He put his head on the chest of the little concubine, hoping for a miracle. He hoped to hear the sound of his heartbeat.

"I beg you to wake up." said the prince pleading.

"Look at our son needs you. I can't live without you. Are you sulking at me? Why are you just silent? Please wake up. I would be angry if I made a mistake. I beg you to wake up." said prince Xiao San in a soft voice.

The prince did not dare to let go of that embrace. He only raised his head above the chest of the little concubine who was lying down. Prince Xiao San wished all this was just a dream and when he opened his eyes, he still saw the smile of his little concubine.

The prince who was getting weaker, finally fainted. He's unconscious. Chen Yi tried to check it out and the prince's psychology had rendered him unconscious. The loss made him helpless. Chen Yi treated his severely injured hand. He gave medicine to restore the prince's body. He let the prince rest quietly beside the little concubine.

"What's wrong with the prince?" ask eunuch Li.

"The prince was unconscious because of his sadness. I gave him the medicine. Maybe tomorrow the new prince regained consciousness." said Chen Yi.

"Goodoo. Now help me to concoct medicine for the little concubine." said eunuch Li while carrying all the medicines he was looking for.

"What's? Can foster father cure a little concubine? But isn't the little concubine dead" Chen Yi asked in disbelief.

"Try checking his pulse once more with your inner energy. Drain your inner energy to him. He was not dead but the energy within his body had covered his heartbeat and stopped his breathing for a moment" eunuch Li said.

"Basic fool. How can you be your brother's disciple." said eunuch Li as he gently struck his adopted son's head.

"I'm sorry foster dad. I will study more seriously." Chen Yi said spoiledly.

"It's been.. It's been.. Help me concoct this medicine." said eunuch Li.

They were concocting the medicine last night. Chen Yi gave the medicine and treated the little concubine very well. Chen Yi had to treat three patients. Despite being tired, he still treated the three patients very well. Eunuch Li helped Chen Yi take care of Xiao Jiwu. He was very happy to see Xiao Jiwu whom he had already considered as his own grandson.

"Look emperor. Your granddaughter is very similar to you. I hope your grandson will be the successor of this palace with all its policies and virtues. He will be your best successor." said eunuch Li as he gently rubbed Xiao Jiwu's head.

Eunuch Li was very happy to play with her grandson. He laughed happily when he saw the smile on Xiao Jiwu's face. Eunuch Li realized there was something special about this baby. He did not expect this baby to have such a great destiny. Eunuch Li kissed Xiao Jiwu's hand. He could see so much happiness and suffering that he would experience.

"I believe you can take care of your parents" said eunuch Li with a small smile.

Xiao Jiwu fell asleep in the warm embrace of Eunuch Li. He looked after Xiao Jiwu very well. The next morning, prince Xiao San woke up with his head slightly aching. He woke up from his sleep and looked next to the little concubine who looked not as pale anymore. The prince tried to make sure his body felt warmer, his breathing sounded and his heart was beating. She could hear the heartbeat of her little concubine.

"Chen Yi, did you see that? The little concubine is still alive. He was still breathing." said the prince with a sumringah face.

"Eunuch Li treated him" Chen Yi said

"really?" asked the prince with excitement.

The prince approached eunuch Li who was playing with his son. He hugged her with gratitude.
