The Princess And The Lord

Meanwhile, somewhere else Lao Min Na is meeting with Zhao Yi Chen at the small tea house, the whole place has been reserved so only the two of them are there. The two of them sit opposite each other as they leisurely drink tea like old friends.

"All you need to do is sign this annulment paper, you don't have to return to Jiang Wei kingdom to give your statement" Zhao Yi Chen speak calmly as if he talks about the weather.

Lao Min Na put down the teacup and stare at Zhao Yi Chen handsome face "So you decide to abandoned me just like that"

Zhao Yi Chen feel ironic he looks at her with cynical smiles "We both know who abandoned who?"

Lo Min Na bites her lips feeling reluctance somehow, she thought she know this would come soon or later, in fact, she kinda hope this happened sooner, but when she stare at the white paper on the table she feel someone squeeze her heart.

She suddenly remembers when she meets Zhao Yi Chen for the first time, she has to admit that Zhao Yi Chen is the only man who truly sincere to her, he accepts her despite all the bad rumor about her, he is the first man who supported and protects her, if she still the old her, Lao Min Na is sure she would fell in love with Zhao Yi Chen but sadly she is not the same person she used to be. 

Lao Min Na took the brush from the ink then she writes her name on the paper, and print her tumb with her left hand. Zhao Yi Chen takes a quick glance at her right hand that covers with a long glove, he never seen her wear a glove before "What's wrong with your hand, are you hurt?" 

Lo Min Na startled for a second then she looks at him and shakes her head slowly "It's fine…."

He doesn't probe further, he took the paper and wait for the ink to dry before he folded the paper and put it behind his collar.

He feel a pang in his heart as if something has missing, he make deprecating smiles then he looks at the beautiful woman in front of him. There was a time he was sure they will be together forever.

He still remembers his heart beating so fast the first time he met her, he instantly fell in love with her beauty, her cunningness, and her insatiable ambition ironically that also the reason why they are separated.

"Do you ever love me?" he suddenly raised the question.

Lao Min Na stunned, her beautiful eyes widen because she not expected this, her mouth slightly open but no word is come out. Sometimes the words we can't say is the word that the loudest. He could feel his heart is torn apart but he let it sink in, he let the pain wrecked break his heart in pieces because this will be the last time he hurt by her.

"I see…" he gives Lao Min Na mirthless smiles, without her replied he already knows the answer 'this is the end' he said to himself. "I hope you find what you looking for, farewell" Zhao Yi Chen turn around and left without looking back. Outside the tea house, his subordinates already waiting. He got on the carriage and soon the carriage left leaving atrial of dust behind it.

Lao Min Na sat in silence, her eyes fixed on the empty teacup in front of her. Suddenly she feel so alone, she never felt like this since she was reborn, but when she saw Zhao Yi Chen back disappeared she feel lost like something precious slip through her fingers, why she feel this why? She's the one who poisoned him? She also the one who left him? She thought he only going to drag her down, she thought she's not the right man for her, so why…?

She wrapped her arms around herself, the windblown her face and she never felt so cold.

At the Tie Shan manor, lory walk while massaged her waist, she make sure to healed all the kiss marks on her body she never felt so grateful to have a healing gift, maybe god gift her this gift because they know she would marry someone like Zhao Li Xin. That man is like a beast, he like leaving mark on his turf.

Suddenly her pace is halted, she sees Yang Xi Ying watching Ming Yue Yin from afar.

"What are you doing?" Lory sneaks out behind Yang Xi Ying.

She is too focus on Ming Yue Yin she doesn't realize Lory is behind her "Oh my! You surprised me!" she slaps Lory's arms.

"What are you doing, why are you spy on the brat?" she asked again.

"Sssh!" she put finger on her lips "Yue Yin is very weird today" she whisper.

Lory frowned in confused "She always been weird!"

"Noo, it's more than usual" Yang Xi Ying pull lory arm closer and pointher finger at Ming Yue Yin who sit alone inside the pavilion, she cupped her face with both her hands on the table, she looks like in a daze and she sighs a lot but then suddenly she smile weirdly and all her face and neck turn so red like a boiling crab and she squeals but then she shakes her head profusely.

Lory and Yang Xi Ying was astonished, she does look weirder than she used to be.

Yang Xi Ying nudged Lory arms "Hey, do you think…she got.....cursed?" 

Lory tilted her head "Well….I doubt it, I never saw anything like this before….perhaps she was poisoned?" Lory worriedly said.

Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips while ponder "I don't know….is there any poisoned that make someone look…" Yang Xi Ying suddenly look around her to make sure they are alone then she raised her hand and whisper at Lory "cra-zy"

"..."

It does a crime to claimed your empress as crazy, Lory darted her gaze back to Ming Yue Yin who giggle in a creepy way. to be honest, she looks more like a pervert, Lory scratches her chin confusedly.

"The SPRING has finally come for the empress!"

Lory and Yang Xi Ying jolted at the same time, they reflex to look behind them. they flabbergasted by Su Yi sudden appearance, but Su Yi seems not to notice they're shocked as her eyes gaze at Ming Yue Yin with profound expression.

"Everyone should stop sneak behind me!" Yang Xi Ying is annoyed.

"What Spring, isn't spring still long?" Lory looks puzzled as her hand rubbing her chest from the previous shock.

Creepy smiles bloom on Su Yi face it make Lory and Yang Xi Ying fidgeting "The Empress and General Yuan has a breakthrough in their relationship" Su Yi smile is a mix of happiness and relief. She definitely supports Yuan Shao and Ming Yue Yin relationship, compared to anyone who tries to court her empress no one is better than Yuan Shao in term of talent, physic, temperament, and sincerity Yuan Shao is prevailed with flying color and adding the empress feeling to Yuan Shao who could be better groom than general Yuan.

"Breakthrough?" Lory and Yang Xi Ying confused.

But then lory clapped her hands "Wait, do you mean they are!" she make a kissing gesture with her hands while wiggling her eyebrows playfully.

Su Yi clear her throat "I cannot disclose her majesty personal life, it's better for two madams asked her majesty personally" she said in a firm tone but her head is nodding.

'What's that supposed to mean, is that a 'YES'?' 

"Are they doing something more than…." This time Lory winks her eyes repeatedly, While Yang Xi Ying holds her excitement by cover her mouth and jump like a rabbit.

"Madam should ask Her majesty herself" she returns a polite answer and yet her eyes winks the same way as Lory.

Lory's eyes bulged widely, in the world where the woman can even show their bare ankle, kissing is like a 'C' stage isn't it, she becomes overly excited while Yang Xi Ying still jumping non stop beside her.

"I need wine, a very strong wine and sweet, a whole lot of them" Lory give serious order for Su Yi, she looks at Yang Xi Ying "You, stop jumping we need to dig confession from her, at all cost!" she raised her fist in front of her.

Yang Xi Ying stops her jump but both hands still covered her mouth and she nodded profusely like a woodpecker.

"I will get the wine madam" Su Yi cupped her fist and left in hurried.

Lory takes a deep breath to relaxed herself then she cracked her finger, Lory then shifts her eyes to Yang Xi Ying then reminds her with a serious face. "You need to calm down, we can startle her, we need to proceed carefully and smoothly…."

Yang Xi Ying stabilizes her breathing before she nods firmly "I'm ready!" she never has this conversation with anyone, so is not her fault to be excited.

Not long after Su Yi returns with a tray filled with wine and a bunch of pastry "The wine and pastry is ready madam"

"Is that strong wine, Yue Ying is a high cultivator you know" Lory wants to make sure.

"Is Lord long Ming wine, I used your name to get the wine" Su Yi shamelessly said without batting her eyelids. After a few months of interaction with Hei Shen members, she realizes that the most powerful figure in the sect is not Long Ming but his wife, as long you throw Lory's name to their face they would fulfill your request no matter how ridiculous is it.

Su Yi was dumbfounded at first, not even empress and emperor concubines would have this much authority but this is Hei Shen, this place worked in a very different way.

"Smart…" Lory gives a satisfied nod, no wonder Su Yi becomes the empress confidante.
