Chapter 28 part 1

Gointo the palace?

Recently, this general and that princess didnt live in peace with each other. Two months ago they tried to kill each other. And yesterday the princess had a miscarriage. The emperor being my brother in law, surely wont let me eat good fruit1

My heart was disturbed. On the way to the palace I thought of numerous ways to escape. But when I looked at Chu Yi, who was riding on a horse beside me; I think hell not run away with me. With no servant to serve me, my life as a commoner wont be easy.

I gritted my teeth, calmed my heart and consoled myself. The emperor also wont matter. No matter how powerful he is, its impossible for him to see that inside this rough mans skin is a fragile woman.

In the first lifetime, I went to the palace a few times with father Song. I still remember the palace etiquettes. After passing the Shen wing, the eunuch took me to the royal study.

Sitting behind a large desk is a man wearing dark red clothes. He was writing. His expression was serious. I thought to myself. The two are emperor, but the emperor of the human realm looks more like an emperor than Yanwang.

I dont know how the emperor usually gets along with the general and I also dont know if they have a good relationship. So I simply bowed and silently kneeled down. When facing someone strong being obedient is always good.

The eunuch was standing beside the emperor. To reduce their presence, even their breathing couldnt be heard.

I heard the emperor put aside his brush.

Qinghui.

His voice was deep.

Is Fuyings body alright?

I thought for half a day before I realized that Qinhui and Fuying are I and Chu Kong. My heart was lamenting. It really is because of that, that I was summoned. I kept my head down and said: Your vassal is guilty.

The side of the emperor was silent. Then I heard a chuckle. The emperor said: You can stand up. Besides, now the empress dowager isnt here, you dont have to pretend anymore.

Hey, what is this situation? My heart was beating really hard. I pretended to be calm and stood up.

There still a trace of smile on the lips of the emperor behind the desk, but his eyes look like theyre biting into ice. He peered at me and said: Qinghui, you say, now that Fuying lost the child, will it cause us more harm or will it get us more benefit?

This emperor and the general are really impure ah

I narrowed my eyes and hold the emperors smelly feet2: This vassal is dull.

The emperor chuckled for a few times: Not having seen you for a few days, Qinhui has learned to be humble.

The emperors fingers tapped on the desk.

After receiving the news yesterday, zhen3 was happy that the throne could be saved, but I was also worriedafter some days Da Qi country wont be safe. This move of Wei country was terrific.

I totally didnt understand what he was saying. I only gazed at the ground in front of me.

The royal study was silent for a moment, then the emperor suddenly stood up. He stood in front of me and said: Speaking of, Qinhui recently it seems that you are neglecting the affairs of the court a little.

My heart tightened and I wanted to kneel again, but the emperor seemed to have expected it. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

Qinhui, you dont need to be cautious. Its not that I blame you. You and I are brothers for many years; of course I know that youre loyal and doesnt have a second thought. Its justarent you a little too soft-hearted on Fuying on many ocassions?

My body turned stiff. In my heart I was saying bitterly: I cannot not be soft-hearted on Fuying ah.

I know that Fuying is infatuated with you. Two people living together for a long time, its inevitable that some feelings you shouldnt have will be formed.

I wondered since the general and the princess are already married what more feelings shouldnt they have.

I heard that after seeing Fuying miscarriage you were really hurt and was by her bed for three days and three nights without rest. You even let Chuyi go catch those spies alone. Now they even escaped. Qinghui, say, this matter dont you also has some responsibility?

Comments:

Since I have exams and cant translate long chapters, Ill be cutting the chapters for a while. I want to finish translating this project so I can begin translating Chu Wang Fei with a light heart. And I need to finish writing the emperors wife, which I plan to finish before the end of the summer. A very busy summer.
