Chapter 20

Every time he told the Blind Concubine "No problem" "Very good" "Master, please be at ease" all this time, he was being terrified in his heart.

He still didn't know what would happen in the future, he was confused, moreover, he was always in fear. He didn't have anything, but that person was the monarch of the country, all the rivers and mountains on the land were his possession.

If by any chance, he wanted to take away anything, how could he compete with that person? How could he protect the Blind Concubine?

Xiao Bao didn't know.

He didn't have anything, what belonged to him was his only dear life.

The next day, on the first glimmer of dawn, the Blind Concubine woke up.

Xiao Bao did not dare to sleep. He kept watch by the bedside all the time. Seeing that his master was waking up, he busily ordered the palace's maid to cook millet porridge.

The Blind Concubine stretched out his thin and slender hand, to stop him, and barely said: "I am not hungry."

Xiao Bao said: "Even though you are not hungry, you still have to eat a little. Yesterday you only had medicine, you didn't have your meal at all. You can ruin your stomach."

The Blind Concubine stubbornly shook his head, deadly grabbed Xiao Bao's hand, "You don't go. Stay here to accompany me."

There wasn't a shred of strength in his voice.

Xiao Bao's heart hurt to see him like that: "Okay."

The Blind Concubine pulled the corner of his mouth to grin, barely enough to be counted as a smile.

Xiao Bao held his hand firmly, "Master, how come you entered the Bamboo forest? Did you lose your way? You gave us a hard time searching for you."

The Blind Concubine closed his eyes, did not answer.

Xiao Bao waited for a long time, he thought that his Master wouldn't answer him.

"I didn't lose my way." The Blind Concubine's voice was extremely light, "….. I went there, to the Bamboo forest by myself."

Xiao Bao surprised, lifted up his head: "How come….."

"I was suffocated, thought about taking a breather in the Bamboo forest to let out the stuffy feeling, got drenched in the heavy rain, from head to toe, thoroughly got wet by the rain, so that my heart could be at ease."

The corner of Xiao Bao's eyes became red, "Why…."

The Blind Concubine let out a laugh, "Because I know that person is the Emperor."

Xiao Bao's heart froze and stunned, innumerable thoughts and feelings overwhelming his mind.

The Blind Concubine coughed in a low voice for several times, he was still in his poor health, even only to speak had already consumed most of his energy.

Xiao Bao muttered: "Master…Why did you do this?"

The Blind Concubine already closed his eyes again, knitted his brows, as if he was so tired, unwilling to speak any words.

Xiao Bao held his hand, his face was in deep grief, "Master… Is it worth the bother??"

It was not like he said that for The Blind Concubine to hear, seemingly he spoke to himself.

"Master has Master's consideration, but I only wish for Master to cherish yourself more. Don't burden yourself."

The Blind Concubine who closed his eyes all this while, as if he was sleeping, shook his head at this moment.

"As your master, I owe you so many things. I am thinking about how to pay you back, everything, entirely, what I have owed you…"
