The story begins with the exile of concubine Xiao Meili who was accused of poisoning Luo Changxi who was the Empress. Emperor Han Xing Wei punished him by banishing him to the Star Hill. Although not heart because at that time the concubine was pregnant, but as an Emperor she still had to be fair in upholding justice and all the evidence really cornered her concubine. Consort Xiao was accompanied by her loyal servant, Ren Xia and her twin sons Yi Mei and Yi Cao. They were 5 years old then. When out of the kingdom, no one escorted him away even the Emperor was busy accompanying his Empress who was still limp on her bed In the journey using a stretcher he was accompanied by several soldiers to guard her to the destination.
As a concubine of one of the most distinguished kingdoms of the time, Xiao Meili was known to be kind and gentle towards everyone. His extraordinary drawing ability made him even more admired and made Luo Changxi envious. So he devises a devious plan by trapping her. Indeed, at that time an Emperor could have more than a wife, but Luo Changxi always made her concubines not at home in the palace and only Xiao Meili could survive until now. In addition to the Emperor who had loved him, also because of Xiao Meilililah the King will get his first offspring because of Luo Changxi's less fertile content. Emperor Han finally sent his trust bodyguard, yi Shaolun, who was the husband of Ren Xia, drove the group that brought the concubine secretly and ensured his safety because he felt that there would be something big to block them.
It turned out to be true what the Emperor was worried about, The Empress had prepared some people to kill Xiao Meili on the way to Bukit Bintang. Arriving in the middle of the forest, Empress Changxi's men appeared carrying some sharp weapons and attacked the soldiers and concubines of Xiao's entourage. Tandupun swayed irregularly and made Consort Xiao panic so he decided to go out and see what was going on outside.
"Why did you come out madam" said Ren Xia who immediately approached her employer. Suddenly a man appeared who was preparing to draw a sword towards him, thankfully Yi Shaolun came and saved concubine Xiao from danger.
"Hurry and get concubine Xiao and the children out of here!" pinta was her husband who was trying to protect them.
"Then what about you?" anxious Ren Xia
"Who is Ren Xia?" said Consort Xiao who was then unaware of the presence of Yi Shaolun covering his face using a veil.
"She. . ."
"Quick !! This is the Emperor's order !!" Pekkir
"Alright, take good care of yourself . . .Let's madam, don't stay away from mommy son. . ." The four of them ran with their pedestals away from the crowd of people who were attacking each other. While occasionally turning his head, Ren Xia who was worried about her husband still ran while holding Xiao Meili who had difficulty stepping because of her pregnancy which had reached 8 months of age. Yi Shaolun who was helping the soldiers against the bad guys didn't seem to be enough to deal with all of them and was defeated and killed by some stab wounds on his body. Some of them finally caught up with Xiao Meili and Ren Xia and their two children to complete the task given by the Empress, Luo Changxi.
Feeling exhausted, concubine Xiao asked to stop at one point where Ren Xia saw a cave that he thought was safe for their hiding place for a while. Without thinking for a long time he immediately brought his master and his two children to enter into it.
"Where are they?" The voice of one of the assassins was heard from inside the Cave
*Krakk (broken sound of wood) *Because of hearing the words of the person, Ren Xia accidentally stepped on a branch that was in the mouth of the Cave, which was located in the cave, because his echoing voice was finally heard by the assassins and immediately ran towards the source of the sound. They decided to go deeper into the cave and hide behind a large rock. Carefully, the assassins surrounded the Cave and combed every corner of it. Suddenly a white-bearded old man came and attacked them. His incredible inner strength caused some of the assassins to bounce out of the Cave and the old man chased after him. He gave a memory-removing pill and drank it to those who were still forced to the ground and gave an instruction stating that their target had been killed. This is done so that they can immediately return because they feel that their task has been carried out. Then he returned to the cave to approach the concubines Xiao and Ren Xia.
"You may go out now. . ." said the old man, but because of the excessive fear and suspicion that the old man who helped him was part of the bad guy they did not come out immediately and remained hidden behind the big rock.
"Calm down, I just want to help you guys.." Keep quiet
"Eh. . .You guys don't intend to thank me? Whatever you can do." Turn her body around and start walking away
"Wait on sir. .we apologize for our disrespect. Thank you for your help" said concubine Xiao who had been hiding with Ren Xia and her twin daughters.
"All right, all right, there's no need to hesitate." he said bragging
"I'm Xiao Meili and this is my servant Ren Xia. This is Yi Mei and Yi Cao, her daughter" introducing themselves
"Sit down, sit down. . ." said the old man as he took a few cups of drinks for them
"Thank you sir. . ." accepted it
"Actually who are they? Why would they want to kill you?"
"We don't know who they are either. While on their way to Bukit Bintang they suddenly came and intercepted us, killing all the troupe that was escorting us" concubine Xiao explained
"Star Hill? Why are you going there?"
"mm. .The story is long sir. We don't know if we can continue our journey there. Our train has been destroyed and I am also no longer able to walk anymore" concubine Xiao explained
"Mother. .What man saved us earlier is Dad, Mom??" yi Cao asked his mother. Hearing that, Ren Xia's eyes immediately glazed over and recalled what he had seen before in that battle
"Is that true Ren Xia? Why don't you ask her to run away with us?"
"No matter what happens, she's just doing the job. Despite having to give up his life, I'm sure he's happy when he does."
"What are you saying! How's your life and your kids gonna be?" concubine Xiao felt sorry for Ren Xia who eventually had to become a widow for saving her
"Miss, he ordered me to take the madam away from there and I'm sure he wants the lady's safety, too. I will not waste his life sacrifice against those people and promise to always take care of the mistress and the baby in your stomach. I swear I will devote all my time to serving my mistress, as well as my children"
"Mrs Xia. . .You are this. . .Ugh. .sss. ." concubine Xiao looked in pain while holding her stomach. Yinshi's grandfather immediately checked his pulse and said that his condition was very weak due to fatigue.
