Previously on The Return of the Princess. . .

After the order of exile to Consort Xiao Meili was revealed, they immediately set off for Bukit Bintang with several escorting soldiers. However, on the way, Consort Xiao Meili and his entourage are confronted by some masked men who plan to kill them all. In that fight, Ren Xia lost her husband. But she managed to secure Consort Xiao Meili into a cave according to her husband's final wishes. They were helped by an Old Hermit who was there. While explaining the chronology that occurred, concubine Xiao suddenly felt pain in her stomach. What happened to him?. . .

Continuation. . .

"Let him down first, let him rest" Ren Xiapun laid down his master's body that began to limp. After that he begged Grandpa Yinshi to allow him to stay with her

"Master. .Can you allow us to stay here for a while until it is safe enough for us to continue our journey?" connect Ren Xia

"The journey to Bukit Bintang is still a few hours away, it would be better if you stay here. And when it is safe, immediately return to the city because the distance is closer there. Ask for help there" Yinshi's grandfather's advice to Ren Xia who looks still worried about his employer who he has known since he was a teenager.

"But sir, we can't possibly go back to the City because it would be more dangerous for the mistress if we go back there."

"This place is also not a suitable place for you. I also need peace to continue my meditation here. It is better to abandon your intention to go there.

"Master ascetic, if I may be honest our mistress is a concubine of an Emperor. Our real purpose was to go to Bukit Bintang because the mistress was framed by the Empress who did not like her so she had to accept this punishment of exile. If we return, based on her position as a concubine known to many despite having to hide in an inn, over time the Empress will also be discovered again and her life can be threatened a second time. I've also lost my husband against the bad guys, so there will be fewer to keep us there" she explained, crying as she recalled what happened to her husband.

"So you think the Empress sent the masked men?"

"Yes sir. It seems that my husband was sent directly by the Emperor to protect us, but he was killed in the fight earlier. This indicates that the King also argued that his concubine was safer when away from the palace . Now I have to take care of my two young daughters while securing the safety of the mistress. How can we go back when there's a wolf waiting for us?"

"Haiyya. .I can't do anything after hearing your story. I'm actually not used to living with other people here, but I also can't bear to let you go in this situation. So I'll allow you to stay as long as you want here on condition that you don't make a scene and never complain about your life now" after much thought, the old man, Yinshi, allowed her to live together.

"Thank you very much sir, thank you very much. We are so grateful that you have accepted us here. Once again, thank you sir.." thanked him by bending his body many times.

One month later, concubine Xiao finally gave birth to a princess, her bright smile emanating on her beautiful face when she saw the daughter she named Yueji was finally born into the world. Due to her extremely weak condition, she died after giving birth and gave a message to look after her daughter at once

give her a scroll and a book. Consort Xiao Meili finally closed her eyes for good. His body was burned on a pile of wood . Apipun slowly burned his body to ashes. While carrying Yueji who was none other than the daughter of concubine Xiao, Ren Xia took out a small jug

it was white with a picture of the moon and gathered the ashes into it. With sobs he hugged the jug with the baby, his two daughters who saw him crying also finally embraced him.

"Remember to always take care of the princess. From now on he will be your brother. Understood" Ren Xia's plea to her twin daughter and they responded to her mother's request by nodding

"You will not live forever in this forest, someday there will be a time when you will go to the outside world and live independently. Therefore, I think you should have a higher Kungfu stock in order to take care of yourself as well as the princess."

"Kungfu? How do we learn it, grandpa?" little Yi Mei said

"I'll teach you. But you have to remember, this is only for self-protection and not for harming an innocent person let alone to the point of taking their lives" he said

"Good Grandpa. .Yi Mei understood" The little girl's real reply still did not understand what her grandfather was talking about.

"Being a virtuous person, not too ambitious in achieving things, always humble and able to take good care of yourself is a way that you can do to reciprocate. I'm just a God-driven man to help you. Jdi, there is no need to be too indebted. Live well!"

"I understand sir. Once again I beg the lord's help to guide my daughters."

"Send me!"

20 Years later. . .

 “How is grandpa, we've been great right?” yueji said, Princess Xiao Meili who is now an adult and grows up to be a sweet and talented girl in drawing like her mother.

 “Do not boast!” reply grandpa Yin while tapping Yueji's head using a twig

 “I just asked, why should hit” holding his head while looking down

 “There are still some wrong moves, don't put too much pressure on your inner strength and utilize the power from your own body to save energy in you. Use your sword only to scare you and do not hurt your opponent, be careful when using it. Try to keep your sword sheathed while you still have control. Understood!”

 “We understand grandfather! ” firmly Yi Mei and Yi Cao

 “Then, we will practice again grandfather!” said Yi Cao who was still in spirit

 “Eh. .it is better to eat first. The worms in my stomach can no longer bear the” with a face that welcomes Yueji asking to stop his training at that time.
