Master Guo returned from the embroidery shop on a carriage that he had rented for this purpose if he needed to visit important persons who wanted designs from the women working at the shop. Now the use of it was proactive rather than visiting for service, he stood in front of the manor of the Xun family. The guards outside aimed their spears at the elderly man who put up his hand slowly. His voice wavered as he spoke, "Hurry, please tell Ah Mi that her grandfather is here."
"Grandfather? Are you sure that you can stand outside here like this? I should find a servant to tend to you."
"Tend to me, good soldier. Don't worry. That won't be necessary. I have more than enough to entertain myself. Or would you like to become the seat I sit on?"
"I'm on duty sir. The Duke will not be happy if I leave the post to tend to your needs. I have told someone to bring her forth. They're moved from their usu

Ning Ren looked out into the open street and laughed darkly as he held the missive that had just been handed to him from his shadow. Throughout the city there had been several strange incidences with his elder brother which had led him to do a private investigation. The news started to pour in slowly of the traumas of Xun Manors and the fates of the unfortunate occupants which was leaving the public in quite an uproar. It was so much beautiful death that served no purpose which was the hallmark of a lovesick assassin whose idea of inpressing his beloved was to kill her surroundings until only he remained."Oh brother, Ning Zhuo . . . you have always been better than me in every aspect. Father lavished attention on you when you were adopted by the empress. Our mother is the same in blood, but in death, she will never be named as yours. This pain was such a delight to use to twist and mock you from the kind person I could rely on to someone I

"Father please, I beg you. This woman was set up. There is nothing here which is irresponsible. I wanted for her to come to you willingly. She will slip through your hands if you aren't careful. You think that she is called that title for no reason.""Be quiet. I think I've had more than enough from you today. It's apparent that even with your wedding this afternoon that you're pining after this woman. Do you think that the politics of this country will allow a foreign princess to take the part which should be played by our own?""She is the daughter of Chu Bingquing. Can't she be pardoned for her--""She is no longer. I remember when I was young and went to the lands that eventually became Jungpi. I met her adopted mother Langhua when she was still shooting hares instead of having her famous human hunting. She luxuriates in inviting me to watch the festivities or to see what she has in stor

Shaved heads of the nuns descended and rose in succession as Yan Sha tried to follow. The formations the nuns changed from as they prayed were fluid. Yan Sha tried to keep the attention away from herself as the nuns were all one unit and if she was even a step late, she was going to stand out like a sore thumb.Yan Sha cursed low as she realized this time that she had been two quick and she had stood up instead of lying to pay her respects to the two story high buddha in front of her. It was a serene image which was the absolute opposite of how she was feeling. She wanted to burn everything in her anger at her helplessness between the machinations of men.After the prayer was ended, Yan Sha was quickly to head to the side of the temple where the private quarters were located. Here Ah Mi was sleeping soundly as she had been unable to sleep in the prison. Yan Sha wasn't worried as this wasn't the first time, nor did she honestly think

"You've been home for months now but you've refused to tell me about what happened in Caiwong. Why did your teacher come to see father? It's so strange to me that he could feel so strongly about someone he found out to teach you. I heard from a maid that father slapped him harshly before telling him to never return to Jungpi. I've heard rumors about what you told mother to avoid getting punished, but I would rather hear it from you then believe what others have told me to sway me in one direction or another."Yan Sha set her cup of wine down against the stone table as she looked out at the beautiful view of the Jungpi imperial gardens from Yan Ming's pavilian. Everything about this side of the palace was illustrious in the extreme. At times, Yan Sha had to pinch herself that she hadn't walked into the empress's palace in Caiwong's forbidden city. Such a dream-like state made one forget about the worldly things that were biting at her

"Wow, I can't believe that we've actually done this. There is not pile of books waiting for me in the afternoon to pour over. I just get to enjoy really beautiful food." Yan Ming put her hands in the air as she twirled around. The simple clothing she wore were matched with simple silver bead accessories in a braid pattern which were common in country folks around Jungpi.Yan Sha was the only person who today had helped her dress. It was a funny exercise as Yan Ming was fussy that she could not bring her own maids with her. The queen was not happy about such an excursion after Yan Sha's experience in Caiwong, but the addition of her own personal shadows seemed to be enough for Langhua to relent in pleasing her two daughters.There was an entire regiment of soldiers from Jungpi who guarded Yan as this state was actually the closest ally to Jungpi. Yan Sha had chosen the friendliest place for the duo to go. There was no dang

Yan Sha bolted awake as she could feel a splitting headache. Yan Ming was wrapped around her and in this moment it was fragile as her sister has such a peaceful expression on her face that Yan Sha couldn't bare to wake her up. She put on her night clothing to go to outside for a walk.But as she walked outside she could see that there was a fury of activity in the manor. She found one of the Jungpi shadows soldiers and ordered him to stand guard by the bed. The soldier bowed to her and moved quickly to the assigned position with his subordinates. It was satisfying to have people obey her without question.She wondered what else she could make the soldiers do without Zaiyuan here to put in his imput. To have such a responsibility on her shoulders now felt strange as the family had always guarded against her. The chains that she had felt around her hands binding her to the Jungpi she was supposed to call home, here in a dif

The shriek ran through the palace as Ning Zhuo walked anxiously from one side of the room to the other. It positively infuriated him that they wouldn't let him inside of the birthing room. He had fought in wars all high life, his training in the martial way was more than enough to prepare him for the horrors of birth.In the side corridor the preparations had already been made for him to leave. The seige in Yan had already reached a critical point. Ning Ren had been using up valuable resources and allocating them haphazardly such that it was obvious that the young prince was fighting a losing battle. As someone was persevering again and again against such insurmountable odds, it was inevitable that the talk began that the stick puppet of Caiwong, Yan, was not as easy to blow over as a leaf anymore.The lion of Jungpi, whispered the common folk. Ning Zhuo had heard his petty little maids arguing about it as they cleaned th

Yan Ming watched as Yan Sha crumpled to the floor in front of her. There was a long trail of blood behind her which trailed into the city. She stood in awe as her sister has staunched her own wound with a torn piece of cloth."Can one of the servants call the imperial physician forwards? We need to have the physician here such that my sister is still here to continue to the battle with our enemy. She cannot rest and such a wound should not impede her."Yan Sha gave a wary look to her sister as she started to disrobe. The physician did come after some time and treat the cut with more cloth and a look or irritation as he looked from sister to sister with exasperation. Yan Ming was extremely enthusiastic to make sure that the bandages were bound with precision. With her own hands, she put the salve and would treat the wound at night until her sister was free of scarring."See now you are still as beautiful as me
