Lotus Flower 20. The Real Culprit
"Commander that's all what Physician Mo entrusted me to relay to you." Ji Nan explained. He watched Lui Xian examine the plant that was put in front of him on the table. It still looked fresh. After all Lui Xian was concious for a day and half only. The darkness and the cool temperature in the carbinet aided to it's life force a little more. 'They are saying this malnutritioned plant is worth saving my life. My life is worth this? All heavens why are you playing with my fate.' Lui Xian was in denial. He continued scrutinizing the yellow plant. He never thought that he was poisoned but after hearing that it was an unknown deadly poison he started to fear. He was so close to death before even fighting a single official battle. The heavens were really punishing him for the sins he had done in his previous life for sure. "Ji Nan put it away. I have matters to attend to." The second in command did as he was told. He left the tent, leaving Lui Xian behind. When everyone was out Lui Xian re

In the evening Lui Xian prepared himself to welcome his distinguished guest. He had ordered all the guards at his tent to be sent away. Still laying on his bed he looked up above him thinking of how these days were kind of hectic. He sighed before detecting a movement from outside.Lui Xian didn't need to ask as to who was outside. He rose and walked to a chair and sat comfortably on it. In an instant the young man he had seen in the morning entered, covering his face with a mask. He held his sword walking to Lui Xian with a frown in between his brows."Welcome. Do you want some tea?" Lui Xian invited him to the table. In one hand, he had a cup filled with hot tea, and the other was supporting his head. He took a glance at the new comer and then reverted his sight only to take a sip of his own tea. It was apparent that the one offered the tea wouldn't drink it at all. After all, who would eat something from the person they had once poisoned. After being groomed by the elderly and bein

"Aim!""Fire!"The command echoed from across the high-up mountain area, arrows flew in a defined arch heading in the direction of the Xue Army. The battlefield was filled with thirty thousand men who were armed with incredible weapons, for each one served its purpose.Echoes from both parties of the army were heard, each troop advanced with swords at ready.Clash!The swords clashed, some aiming for the vital points of the body.A thousand horses hammered the ground giving rise to dust particles, that tended to hide all the movements happening from all the prying eyes. The soldiers riding on these horses evaded the pending arrows that were falling non-stop. Some used shields to hide away from the rainning arrows. Tuk!Each shot sounded, the wounded grunting, Thud! And bodies from both forces fell one after the other. It was after all inevitable to come out unscathed. Even if they carried shields and tried to block the attacks, it still wasn't enough."Wohhhhh!"More soldiers scamper

"Hiyaah!" Shwap!Lui Xian galloped through the dense green forests and mountains, his horse running extremely fast. He was all alone. And the anticipation to reach the palace drove him more, he wanted to arrive before the Qiu Xi festival. He had something prepared for the Emperor.He could imagine his delighted face and smile as he welcomed him back. The need to be in his presence was too much. Even though he was away for a long time, his feelings never lessened. In fact, they intensified.When he was told to go back, he had hurried to set out that night. The tiredness he felt from fighting in the ferocious battle had immediately dispersed. He had put on fine robes and took the fastest horse they had. He grabbed a few things for the ride then disappeared into the night.At the moment, he had journeyed some several miles away from the camp. The weather had changed drastically, the summer was somehow unbearable and the sun was shining and emitting too much heat but he couldn't afford to

"Let her in." The Prince reluctantly responded to the guard whilst also apologizing to his friend in a low tone."Don't worry it's not your fault." Lui Xian whispered and then looked at the entrance. The palace doors were slid open, as the newly appointed Consort Mei Su strolled inside the room, in quite an elegant manner, her servant following behind her. Mei Su wore a baby blue hanfu and her hair styled neatly with expensive hair accessories plucked on top to give a pleasant look."Greetings Your Highness, Commander." She bowed to Rushan and only nodded to Lui Xian who paid no heed to her actions. "You may join us, Your Grace. Please." Rushan rose and showed her where to sit.Mei Su sat down at the cushion that was at the middle of the table and Rushan followed suit at his initial place."What brings you here Your Grace?" Rushan asked whilst taking a sip from his cup of wine. He didn't feel any need to be polite. Even if she is the favourite at the moment, he is still the Emperor'

The Wu Palace and the whole capital devoured the morning light that was just gracing the day. The sky was quite clear with wispy clouds here and there. When Lui Xian had just gotten up, he stared at the blueness and he by chance spotted a bird circling around."What a beautiful morning. It's been two years since I have experienced this peaceful moment." He marvelled at the breathtaking scene. This was the first time in these years that he felt his mind at peace. "Xian, you're up. Breakfast should be ready in a moment." Rushan spoke from inside his quarters. He rose from the bed and walked behind the curtain, putting on quite a fancy robe."Are you going to morning court?" Lui Xian asked whilst entering the room. Yesterday night, he had ended up spending the night at Rushan's place. They stayed up almost half the night catching up and talking about the woman who seemed to be focused on turning Wu Kingdom upside down.Speaking of this nemesis, she was busy planning her next move on how

"Many thanks to everyone who has managed to come to this banquet. It's a great honour seeing you here, at this moment, to celebrate with us such a miraculous occasion...." Lui Xian and Rushan felt as if they were listening to a caterpillar creaking non-stop. Their ears were itchy and their hearts black with a cloudy feeling.Consort Mei kept on talking, her voice maintained throughout her speech."I would like to toast to you all. Especially Commander Lui for protecting our nation for these past two years. Please accept my gratitude." She continued to speak whilst waving her pale white and slander hand indicating for the servants to bring a tray with a cup of wine placed at the center to him.Lui Xian wasn't surprised. All he could do was to silently grip his hand into a fist, as he also looked at the servant nearing him. Everyone at the banquet looked at Mei Su then at him while whispering amongst themselves. It was clear to everyone, that Lui Xian and the Consort did not get along.

Wandering amidst some rubbles, Lui Xian observed with a keen eye as to what had happened to the village. At least what was once a flourishing village.Burnt shuds scattered about, the soil had a deep dark tone and the nearby trees were half burnt with leaves tainted with smoke. At some point, Lui Xian spotted a map of dried blood and a weapon with traces of that deep red colour, that was close to black due to being exposed to heat for an unknown period of time."It's been two years since then and now it's like Qiu Yu Village has never been here in the first place." He speculated while looking around, memories piling up in his mind. "Who did all this?"He resumed asking himself questions he couldn't get any answers to. His mood plummeting by each second, each memory came crushing down on him. He couldn't believe that all those happy families he had come to accept as his own, had disappeared without leaving a single speck of dust. It was as if they had never existed. As if he had spent

It has been a few months after their marriage, the couples were living quite a fruitful life. It was peaceful and the days were enjoyable. Feng Shao continued offering consultations to everyone in the valley, he also went into the forest and other places in search of various herbs. Sometimes he would stay at home and spend some quality time with his husband. The two would play around. Either just cuddling and flirting under a cherry tree or sparring with each other. Although everytime Lui Xian would go easy on him. Feng Shao on other occasions he would play a few pieces of his own songs on his zither. The others would listen with a smile. And the villagers would sometimes join them. Some would even beg him to learn. And Dong Dong would be amongst these people. Feeling proud of him. Rushan on the other hand, he would be occupied in his paintings. He loved investing most of his time playing with colours and smelling the ink on the parchment paper. He would sometimes add poems once he

Rushan beamed with happiness, altogether with excitement knowing that he had a chance to get him. He hurriedly got onto his feet and strode to the doors, eager to see him again. "Thank you brother." He waved at the emperor and disappeared before the monarch could say anything in return. He just watched his little brother with a small smile on his lips. He took a sip of his tea, savouring the exquisite taste. Once done, he looked into space as if he was in deep thought. The prince on the other hand was running around the palace path ways, heading to the training area where he assumed he would find him training. Some refreshing breeze graced his cheeks and made his hair dance along with the moving air. The scenery all around him appeared to be surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms fluttering and emitting a mesmerizing scent. It did not take time for him to reach the training grounds. Various soldiers were busy clushing with wooden swords against one another. Others were engaged in

The following day, the prince got up as early before the rooster crowed. He had black circles around his eyes. His orbs looked very depressed. He was so unkempt. His personal servants were so shocked and embarrased. They prayed secretly in their hearts, begging the heavens so that there hasn't been a single soul that had seen this or else their prince's image would forever be ruined. They got flustered and started running about like headless chickens before the head maid calmed them down and ordered the others to bring warm water from the kitchen and also to prepare for his highness's clothes. In the mean time, she greeted the prince and politely urged him to go behind the screen where there was a beautiful pond with beautiful flowers scattered skillfully on top. She helped undress him and left him with pants on before guiding him into the pond.All the while Rushan was feeling tired and very sleepy. He listened to whatever she was saying so to get her to go away. He didn't want to d

"Well then Qi Han, come and inform me when he returns.""Yes, Your Highness." Qi Han answered respectfully. He watched as Rushan turned and walked away, going back to his palace. The little minister then turned back giving the room where Lanzhu lived a last glance before going on his way. On the other side, Rushan rested in his office and waited patiently, while thinking of things he was going to say to him. He had done this many times but he never seemed to get tired of it. Just the thought of telling him how he felt filled his tummy with butterflies. After a moment, then he felt sad for some reason. His mind having wild guesses like: 'Maybe the letter wasn't meant for me.'"Does he like someone else?""No, no. If that is the case I will never be able to accept it."The Night approached very fast and Rushan takes a nap and dreams of him again. He couldn't help but smile in his dream. Just the thought of being kissed by those juicy lips sent him into the clouds. He wished to never

Shiny charcoal hair flowed gently past his eyes, flattering with the wafting breeze making the scene look breathtaking. The rays highlighted the beautifully styled hair. The shimmering emerald robe he was wearing enhanced his graceful figure. And also the gentle but cold temperament.Rushan just couldn't get enough while looking at it. His light blue eyes wandered a lot more on the gorgeous designs, then the coarse and shiny hair before they shifted on to the good-looking face. The thirsty prince took in the unfamiliar distinct features. It appeared as if he was drinking an exquisite juice just by looking at them. Especially the white fair skin and scarlet eyes he had never seen before. It was rare to find anyone with this eye colour in Wu Kingdom. Even when he went on his voyages, he had never come across such a trait. This made his interest pick up.He couldn't move his eyes away, so he chose to look to his heart's content. His rosy full lips didn't escape his scrutiny as well. Rus

There he found an outlet for his troublesome woes. Lui Xian listened and felt amused by his dear friend's antics. He felt like he was watching himself when he had just realized that he had fallen for the monarch.But it was very different for his friend. He had never met the person at all. All he could hold onto was the emotional bond he had achieved through heartfelt words on an ordinary parchment paper. Lui Xian however, never judged his dear companion, for he knew how hard it was to be in a fruitless love. One had to hold onto the hope that perhaps one day he will see my love. One had to dream of a life together, longing and yearning to acquire their coveted wish. He watched as Rushan told him how eager he was to find the person who wrote to him. He had searched and searched everywhere in the Kingdom until he almost lost hope. That is until he stumbled upon a piece of writing when he had visited his Imperial brother. On that fateful day, the prince was low spirited and was in no

After the adventurous wedding night, Feng Shao woke up feeling sore all over. His body was littered with vivid love bites and scratch marks. His eyes were shining brightly knowing that he was now Lui Xian's husband. He looked down beside him to see Lui Xian still asleep with a set of his own marks on his chest. The white-haired male stretched his hand and grabbed a handful of his spouse's jet-black hair strands, feeling the soothing texture. His warm eyes landed on his glowing face which was being softened by the morning glow. When he had looked enough, Feng Shao leaned on him and stole a very quick kiss on his lips before getting off the bed and rushing to take a bath behind the screen. Behind the two meter white board decorated with magnificent scenic paintings, which was shielding him from prying gazes, some purple garments were hung in one corner. And there was a wooden tub situated in between the board and the wall. It was filled with cold water with rose petals floating on top a

"Ruo?...Ruo.." 'Where have I heard this name before?' Feng Shao contemplated in his mind. When he was still living in his hometown his father used to have a visitor with the name Ruo. Everytime on his visit this man would always bring him a sweet and would also throw him up in the air and and play with him. Now that he thought about it, it should be someone related to Lui Xian. Feng Shao told his lover everything he knew. The other only listened and also continued with his story. The two talked till morning. Dong Dong was the one who came over to them and cut their story short.The three regrouped with the others and accompanied Rushan to Wu Capital. Of course Feng Shao and Lui Xian bade goodbye to their friends and remained in the capital. Rushan and the others proceeded to enter the palace. He met his nephew and spent a week together with him. They played together, had the royal artist paint a painting of them. After all was done he promised his nephew to visit him again and then l

When they returned to the restaurant, everyone in their group could see a change in Feng Shao's mood. He had gotten more relaxed and back to normal. A smile couldn't leave his face. He was more sticky to Lui Xian. Whilst the others were sitting on the table, he was on his lover's lap being fed a spoon full of chicken stew and a sip of light wine. Rushan and Lanzhu had an idea of what had taken place a few years back in this town. They had also followed their friend and had witnessed everything that just happened. Seeing them happy also made them feel good.The group left the restaurant and booked a few rooms to spend the night. Feng Shao and Lui Xian took Dong Dong and made their way to their room. Dong Dong watched his Daddy crying and felt speechless. It was his first time seeing him like this. Unlike Lui Xian who had gotten used to this, for this little guy it was quite a shock. He couldn't find a reason as to what made him cry. He seemed to remember him letting down his third cup
