Chapter 61 (1/1)
To see Wanyan Xu like that shocked Su Yi Suddenly, Wanyan Xu rushed over to Su Yi, grabbing hie hands His eyes were totally bloodshot as he said vehemently, with fury etched into each distinct word that he uttered: “You only have eyes for your people, no matter the occasion, they are all you are concerned about What about s at all? Even if only a little bit, even if it was only for the saers, have you ever spared a thought for how h? Your people are perfectly fine, but I am about to die from the pain, do you know that? Sometimes, I really wish that I could die immediately, it's fine even if it means that I will be called incompetent, even if they call me weak it would be worth it To die just like that would be better than having to endure this kind of pain But I can’t die; the people, Shuo Er, Mother Empress and and you no matter who it is, I have to live on for your sakes You can rest assured that I won’t take action against your people because I want you to continue living I want you to live on with misery, humiliation and heartache as your companions If I hurt a minute, then you shall hurt for ten Su Yi, since you already hate me, then I’ll let you hate me to the utmost”
Su Yi looked at hi clutched by Wanyan Xu with al force, as if he wished to transh his pair of hands His shoulder blade felt a fiery pain as if it had been shattered, but when couish Su Yi felt in his heart, that physical pain faded into insignificance
For a spell, the two stood there in silence, face to face, looking into each other's eyes but unfortunately both of the to let any hint of their true feelings show in their eyes At length, Wanyan Xu suddenly released Su Yi He was reeling and stu as he backed away froave a couple of acrid laughs and ht, hate only hate is the feeling that ought to exist between the both of us” With that said, he turned his back to Su Yi and walked aith determined steps
Only when Su Yi could be sure that he had already gone far away, did he finally give in to his despair and let his whole body collapse lifelessly onto the bed He sorely wanted to have a bout of hearty, unrestrained, ugly crying; to find a release for all the burdens, pains and injustices he carried in his heart through his tears But after a fehile tear He laughed sardonically at himself, perhaps his sins had been so conteone as far as to revoke the one freedoht he had left
“Wanyan Xu, I’ony in his heart had passed, he found that this was the only thing he could say Su Yi closed his eyes, and resigned hi dreams

“Ah Crown Prince, we had better go back The weather is so cold yet you are unwilling to put on a cloak If you should catch a cold, your subject cannot answer for it” At the rockery by the edge of the I to advise his master With the solemn look he wore on his face, he seemed to be like a little adult
Wanyan Shuo gave a stubborn “hu , just like an old granny You should be careful not to provoke me, lest I tell Imperial Father to dismiss you Hmm, I'll make up more details too, and say that you always complain to Official Yue about me, that as a subordinate you do not respect your superiors, and that you specialize in hurting ive you a thrashi+ng or not if he hears of this” When he finished, he saw that Xiao Yan's face had flushed a bright red and could not help but to burst out in hearty laughs
Xiao Yan was both alar his foot in an irieved, he said: “Crown Prince, you are getting more and more unreasonable, if Su Yi were still the Empress, would you still dare to behave like this?” Only after the words had left his lips did he realise that he had spoken unwisely and slapped his hand over his mouth But it was too late, Wanyan Shuo's face had darkened ominously and he said: “Xiao Yan, don’t you think that you should cut off your tongue? Howup that person in front of o and make a report to my Imperial Father now He'll dis you for this cri, he really stood up and walked off
Xiao Yan was both scared and disgruntled at the treatuileless and not very good ords Not knowing how to inveigle hiraces, he could only stammer as he followed behind him With horror, he saw that in two more turns of the path, they would reach the Emperor's study At that very moment, they suddenly heard loud, un- carried to them by the wind
Wanyan Shuo was stunned for a moment, which of the denizens in this palace could be so rude as to scold their servant so loudly while still outside? Even if they had wanted to teach their servant a lesson, they should have restrained themselves until they were inside their residence He was cold-hearted by nature, apart from Su Yi, he did not care about the life or death of anybody else in the palace But this tio and investigate as the concubine or noble who dared to be so impolite
Xiao Yan heaved a sh of relief at the reprieve, and hurried to follow behind Wanyan Shuo Suddenly, he saw that Wanyan Shuo had suddenly ducked behind a large tree Xiao Yan's heart was overtaken by surprise, poking his head out to take a look, he almost cried out in shock Surrounded by palacebent over with his hands held in a gesture of respect while being loudly berated was none other than Su Yi And the hty fashi+on could not be anybody else; it was none other than Wanyan Xu's favourite concubine, Imperial Concubine Lady Yin
He darted a quick look at Wanyan Shuo and saw that there were o forward He understood clearly in his heart that Wanyan Shuo's feelings towards Su Yi were really very complex and peculiar Because he had loved and respected Su Yi so much, when he was deserted by Su Yi, the betrayal had cut him to the quick and the hate that folloas also sio to Su Yi's defence, he would surely earn the mockery of the crowd, even if they did not dare to show it to his face, they would deride his of affection for a traitor
As for Concubine Yin, before Su Yi had come into their lives, she had been much favoured and pa all his consorts, she had thought that the position of E her chickens before they had hatched, her wishful dreams had been shattered by Su Yi How could she not hate him? Nonetheless, the Emperor had concentrated the love meant for three thousand on the one Su Yi [2], therefore, she could only s her hatred, unable to retaliate against Su Yi But ould have thought that within a blink of an eye, the high and hty Empress had been reduced to the status of a slave
She was still revelling in Su Yi'sa narrow road, she crossed paths with Su Yi on this day Lady Yin was a spoiled concubine after all, hoould she ever bea pretext so as to vent so, and his mobility was compromised Lady Yin quietly directed one of her eunuchs to buht into her path Subsequently, she ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to haul him up, and insisted that he had deliberately thrown hi to preserve her own dignity, she began to curse loudly at him on the spot
Of course, Su Yi would not get angry over the spiteful actions of a narrow-minded person or take her words to heart, but what he did not knoas that his expressionless face would stoke Concubine Yin's fury With a loud shout, she ordered the eunuch to fetch a whip, saying that she was going to teach this lowly slave who had no respect for his betters a lesson In herto anticipate the enjoy to derive from the vicious idea when she suddenly heard the sound of a cold voice drifting pass her ears: “Just one day back into races, andhas indeed becoht, she turned her head only to befrorim expression on his face
