Chapter 789: Yantun Valley

“Ha…that night I had thought that even though he doesn’t look at me when he is conscious but he will surely behave otherwise when he would not be in his complete consciousness.”         

There was a dazed look in Shaolin’s red eyes when she said these words. Her eyes were filled with tears and they soon carried fierceness and anger when she came out of daze and looked at Yi Huiqing.      

“However…even when he couldn’t see the person in front of him so clearly, he only whispered your name. He didn’t even touch me. When I tried to force him, he pushed me away as if I was something dirty.”     

“What kind of magic you have done on him, Yi Huiqing? You must know some black magic to make him so crazy for you.”     

There was a cold smile on Shaolin’s lips when she said these words.      

On the other hand, Yi Huiqing was completely frozen upon hearing her words. Her mind was blank as she remembered the morning when she had seen Zhao Zhang Wei coming out of Shaolin’s courtyard.      

So he had been drugged…     

But he still didn’t let her touch him.      

However…did it really matter anymore?     

Her heart was full of conflict when she thought this.      

Zhao Zhang Wei also shocked him but when he heard Shaolin’s words, he felt very happy with himself.      

A smile emerged on his lips at the same time, he looked at Shaolin with disgust-filled eyes.     

When Shaolin saw this, the despair inside her heart couldn’t increase anymore.      

“Ha…you even made sure that I would never get pregnant because you thought that there happened something that night.”     

Shaolin suddenly looked very exhausted.      

Actually, at the time of her death, her mother had asked her to marry a common man from the tribe itself where she lived. Her mother wanted her to live a simple but happy life.      

However, she remembered that once her mother had told her that she had made such a promise to her friend who was now the Imperial consort. She had always kept this in her mind.      

After her mother left the world, she found the opportunity to leave the tribe and came here.      

When she had entered the Imperial Palace, she had been ready to lower herself to any level if in return she could get even a little attention from the prince.      

However, so many months had passed. The prince was now the Emperor, however, she was still a concubine.      

A concubine he never glanced at willingly with affection-filled eyes that a husband should have while looking at his woman.      

Shaolin was suddenly exhausted.      

She knew that now she would either be imprisoned or executed publicly. However, what Zhao Zhang Wei said surprised her immensely.      

“Leave her outside the Imperial City and make sure that she will never step in the Imperial City again.”      

Zhao Zhang Wei smiled coldly when he saw her surprise-filled eyes.      

“Zhen still remembers that Zhen’s mother and yours had been very good friends, Shaolin. That is the most I am being considerate. Don’t ever show your face again to Zhen, otherwise, the consequences would not be good.”         

Shaolin lowered her head and never said anything.      

She didn’t even struggle when the Imperial Guards dragged her away. She actually wanted to go back to her tribe.      

Remembering the man who had come to her to stop her from leaving, she wondered if he was still waiting for her.      

If he was, she wanted to marry him and have the love that she had wanted here but could never get.      

After Shaolin was dragged away, Zhao Zhang Wei finally looked at his wife. He was actually a little nervous.      

He wondered if Yi Huiqing would believe him now.      

He really loved her.      

However, seeing how lost he looked, he sighed.      

He held her hands gently and frowned when he sensed how cold they were.      

“Qingqing, it is cold outside. Let’s go back to the chambers.”      

  Yi Huiqing came out of her trance and looked at him for a moment before silently nodding her head.      

Her head was lowered all the way they walked back to the chambers.      

When they left, the servants that had gathered in the Concubine Shaolin’s courtyard raised their heads and whispered to each other.      

The Empress had a deep place in the Emperor’s heart.      

Anyone could say this after hearing Concubine Shaolin’s words.      

Soon, the words spread throughout the whole Imperial Palace and then slowly into the Imperial City as well.      

Zhao Zhang Wei was unaware of all this.      

Right now, he was inside his wife’s chambers working on some documents silently.      

A moment later, he raised his head and looked at his wife who was today seated at the same table as him.      

Her head was lowered and she had a book in her lap. It was unknown whether she was really reading it or she was thinking about something in her mind.      

He didn’t disturb her.      

He let her ponder. She had the right to do so. By the side, he just wanted to continue to make efforts to show his sincerity.      

He had already confessed his feelings. It was alright if she still didn’t believe him.      

There was still a whole life ahead for making her believe him.

.     

In the beautiful valley, a figure flew around.      

A few moments later, he finally set foot on the ground.      

Looking at the guards who were staring at him with wide eyes, he snorted coldly and said      

“Open the gate. Why are you looking at me like this? Have you forgotten who I am?”     

Finishing his words, the old man looked at the huge gates in front of him and stepped forward.      

However, he halted amidst his steps when he heard the guards say.     

“No no…fifth master…it is just that Shifu has ordered us not to open the gate for fifth master in any way.”     

The old man called fifth master had a blank face when he heard these words and then suddenly a moment later, he laughed coldly.      

“Ha…Shifu dislikes me so much now.”     

His eyes flashed with smugness as he wondered if the old man would behave the same way when he would come to know of the purpose of his visit.      

Pointing his finger at one of the guards, he said arrogantly.      

“You….go and tell Shifu…this fifth disciple of him has found someone who can do acupuncture skilfully …something that he had not been able to do in so many years.”     

The guard looked shocked when he heard these words. When fifth master saw that he was not moving away, he frowned and the guard immediately came out of his trance.     

“I will go, Fifth master.”     

The guard left and Fifth master patiently waited outside the huge gates.      

Only a few moments later, a figure in purely white clothes similar to the one fifth master wore, came flying and stood in front of the latter.      

The man was the Shifu fifth master had wanted to see.      

His hair, moustache, beard and even brows were white but his face was full of vigour.      

As he looked at fifth disciple of his, his eyes were filled with anger.      

This fifth disciple of his had left their Yantun valley almost five-six years ago despite his refusal. He had been very angry at him because of this.      

A few days ago, he had received a letter from him, however, after reading the letter he had only thought that the bastard was playing some sort of trick with him so that he would step out of the valley.      

However, since he himself have come here today, the old man knew him enough to believe him this time.      

Still, he said angrily as his beard trembled.          

“Bastard…If I found out that you are lying, I will break your legs.”     

The fifth disciple still looked arrogant and even had a smug smile on his lips.      

“Shifu will never get such a chance.”     

Shifu was very angry seeing the arrogant expression on his face and really wanted to beat him up.      

However, he controlled himself. If the bastard really know the person having the skill of acupuncture then he would be at a great loss.      

He would find this person with this bastard so till then he needed to control himself.      

However…what would happen after that… no one could predict so.      

A cold glint flashed in his eyes when he thought this that the fifth disciple was unable to see.      

“We will leave today only.”     

The fifth disciple declared but the old Shifu frowned at his words and said     

“Can’t you bring him here?”     

He didn’t want to leave his Yantun valley. For him, the outside world was dirty and full of selfishness.      

However, the fifth disciple was merciless toward his Shifu and said      

“No! You will have to come with me to the Imperial City.”     

The old Shifu glared at his disciple. In the end, he clenched his fists and said angrily.      

“Alright.”     

Bastard…I will break your legs once I find this person.
