Chapter 30

So, The Blind Concubine lived in the Pear Flower Garden on the mountain.

Every day he lived a simple and plain life. He drank the lotus leaf porridge. He smelled the fragrance of the flowers. He heard the sounds of the rushing down waterfall and the flowing swiftly stream. Hugging Yu Li to tag along, he went in all directions in this garden.

Jue Yu every morning would teach martial arts to some students in the garden until the sun set in the west.

The Blind Concubine would sit on the bench in the Pear Flowers Garden, listening to their marking shouts, every move they made would produce a sound of blasting wind.

Day by day passed by peacefully and delightfully. In addition, he had Yu Li to accompany him.

All the matters regarding the Royal Palace, seemed to be a long dream from the past.

The Blind Concubine felt, if like now, here and now he could forget about everything, in this place, the Pear Flowers Garden, he spent the rest of his life peacefully, it would be really great.

Jue Yu was also helping his less flourishing young students. They usually lived on the other side of the Garden. When the morning came, they all would draw water for washing and cleaning themselves. All day long, until nightfall, the noisy sound of their nonstop chattering while they were eating or playing, made the garden more livelier.

Whenever The Blind Concubine heard these children's noisy chatter, he couldn't help but recall about Xiao Bao, also about the Little Prince.

The young students all knew that The Blind Concubine had come from the Capital. They often surrounded him and asked about everything. Once they opened their mouths, there would be no end!! How was the Capital?? How was the Royal Palace?? How was the Emperor??

Every time, when they asked these questions, the Blind Concubine would force out his smiling face while answering, The Capital?? Of course it was bustling and busy every day. The Royal Palace?? Of course it was enormous…

The young students would hastily ask again: "How about the Emperor??"

"The Emperor??", The Blind Concubine paused and stopped for a while, "I have never seen the Emperor."

The young students would be nodding one after another, "The Emperor, of course is not some figure who could be easily seen."

The Blind Concubine was gently caressing Yu Li's smooth fur on his back, slightly laughing and replying: "Of course…"

Once in a while, he would sit by the pond's side with Jue Yu to have a chat.

Yu Li would lay prone on her stomach on the stone. Her eyes glistening while watching the leisurely, shaking their head and wagging their tail school of Koi in the pond.

The Blind Concubine slowly asked: "You and the General couldn't meet so often, do you miss him?"

Jue Yu raised his brows, "I will never miss him."

The Blind Concubine covered his laughter, "Your mouth says one thing but your heart means another."

Jue Yu did not respond. His face remained with his haughty and arrogant expression.

The Blind Concubine asked again: "When you miss him dearly, what would you do?"

Jue Yu told him: "What else could I do? I could only wait for him like this."

The Blind Concubine said: "General Qi is truly sincere and treasures you, your wait is truly worthy."

The days in the mountain passed like the fallen flower petals, day by day fluttered away with the wind.

The Blind Concubine stayed in this secluded place, isolated from the outside world, inside the Pear Flowers Garden, for quite some time already. To the point he already couldn't differentiate the time anymore, he didn't realize when the sun set or when it was time for nightfall.

Until one day, early in the morning. One young student hurriedly rushed in and ran toward the winged room. He was running while shouting: "Master, bad news!! At the Garden's gate, there were many people. They said they are from the Royal Palace. They came here to arrest someone!!!"
