The Empress's Revenge
#126
That night Liu Zixia's husbands gathered in one place, at the very end of the room. The room was located the farthest from the main room where Liu Zixia was sleeping soundly. The four of them sat in a circle until they could speak softly so that no one would hear.
"So how's next?" asked Ling Zhi with her hands propping up her chin.
Since then they had only been silent without speaking when the initial intention was to negotiate a way to keep Liu Zixia away from the pests that wanted to get close to her. Ling Zhi was getting bored, she wanted to go to the master room to accompany Liu Zixia to sleep.
"Are we going to just shut up like this or start thinking about the best solution to prevent Zixia from taking another concubine." Ling Zhi changed her position, this time her hands were behind her to support her body.
His position this time made him feel at ease, Ling Zhi breathed a sigh of relief as if sitting down just like earlier had almost taken his life.
The atmosphere of the room that had been silent since then changed, the coldness of Lin Yuhua and Long Ze made Ling Zhi smile awkwardly. One hand gently rubbed the back of his head, a sharp glare that flashed onto both of them making Ling Zhi look the other way.
The bright ambiance of the room with a soft aroma floating in the air made the tension immediately subside. This room is a resting place for one of Liu Zixia's concubines if you don't want to be disturbed.
Ye Lian breathed a sigh of resignation, helpline after strand out of her lips when the best solution they had yet to come up with. "We won't be able to prevent her from taking additional concubines. That was already the existing rule, since she took one additional concubine then the total husband Liu Zixia should be more than five. If without a bed warmer or a bed maid then the total of her husband must be seven."
The silence returned after Ye Lian finished speaking, the room temperature again felt cold. This time the target was no longer Ling Zhi but Ye Lian who had already told the truth.
"Okay, I'm also confused by this situation. If we force it to distract Liu Zixia then all of us will get into trouble. Liu Zixia would also accept the untrue accusations from the others, but the most important thing here was the punishment she would receive." Long Ze finally spoke up after a long silence.
Lin Yuhua on the other side also kept thinking, it seemed that he was no longer able to accept the other Concubines but the law was the law and they could not defy the existing laws even though they had extraordinary powers and high positions.
It was hard to share any more unless those who were husband to Liu Zixia were her best friends who had sacrificed their lives for Liu Zixia. Just as he accepted Lin Yuhua as well as his treatment of Liu Zixia back then Ling Zhi would also try to accept them by Liu Zixia's side.
The four people continued to think of ways to solve the problems they would face later on. On the other hand Liu Zhang who was followed by some elders from the Valley of Light traveled to a most remote village in the Yuhuan empire.
The bird news he received showed that Bai Za was currently hiding there, let alone that the current Bai Za had become a fugitive of Yuhuan. Ever since all the men in Bai's family were in prison, Bai Za had lived like hell.
The piece of silver he had always been proud of was now no longer in his hands, he could only rely on living on the small land belonging to the Bai family that was well hidden. Bai Za did not run away alone, she also brought the Ruan family members with her.
They reached the door of the remote village, it was currently midnight so not many residents saw Liu Zhang's arrival with his group. They instantly spread throughout the entire village, behind Liu Zhang were Yuhuan warriors in their full clothes.
They came here without horses in order to let the enemy off guard, in a room in the darkest courtyard of the village. The overlapping sounds between men and women rang out, rough movements as well as growls could be heard clearly.
Inside the room Bai Za was exercising at night, underneath which was a beautiful girl with reddish cheeks and messy hair not wearing any clothes like her. Bai Za was moving quickly while adjusting her breathing to stay awake.
When the woman below closed her eyes Bai Za was about to pat her on the cheek making her regain her senses, the scene continued despite the woman whining for a short break. The pounded meat that sounded inside the room grew even faster as Bai Za's voice grew louder.
"You feel it, don't you? It's nothing compared to you being captured by Yuhuan warriors and sold to a flower house. There I will serve more than ten men every day, here you serve only one or two people during the day and serve myself at night. You should be grateful, thanking me for the help I gave you." Bai Za continued to stomp with all her might.
Bai Za grinned happily, lucky that he managed to bring one of the beautiful descendants of the Ruan family otherwise he would starve to death here without any money without gambling.
