Under this kind of medical treatment, his condition had turned very much for the better. He recovered and regained his consciousness; also he could already open his mouth to speak.

Xiao Bao of course very happy, but also couldn't help but feel bitter whenever he was reminded about his critical illness: "Master, you have to endure this stage of illness, even your hair became dull and dried up."

The Blind Concubine with his soft voice consoled him: "Wait until I am totally well, it will go back to normal."

Jue Yu raised the curtain and entered the room: "If you can keep your life, here, I have a plenty of prescriptions to grow your hair back." At the same time, he loosened up his long hair, rushing down like splashing water all the way to his ankle, contrasting his red clothes and his white as snow skin. Beautiful to the utmost.

The Blind Concubine gently said: "It will be good." With his hoarse voice.

Jue Yu said again: "Your body has a lot of problems to begin with, yet, there were still more problems that one by one came to burden you. Let's just see if you will be able to live until that day."

Xiao Bao busily said in haste: "Master certainly will be able too; Master will live a long life for hundreds of years."

The Blind Concubine sadly laughed, "Stupid kid." His eyes were wet and a flash of misery was in them.

Jue Yu told him: "After all, it is your own body, you have to take good care of yourself."

The Blind Concubine slightly nodded, then he asked: "Why did you come?"

Jue Yu laughed for a while, "Originally, I didn't come for you. But who would have thought, I have received favor at a little cost. I even get a slavery deed. I didn't make this trip in vain."

The Blind Concubine curiously asked: "Oh? Tell me, let me hear about it."

Jue Yu sipped the tea. "I heard the news that Qi Sheng was punished by the Emperor, he suffered ten times the whippings, bedridden to recuperate. Thereupon, I especially rushed to come over and had a good laugh at him. By fortunate coincidence, I ran into His Majesty and he requested me to treat your illness for you. In my heart, I knew that I could take this as a cheap bargain, so I conveniently asked His Majesty to order an Imperial Decree, to grant me a slavery deed of Qi Sheng. From now on, I am the Master, he is the slave. If I want him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west."

Xiao Bao's eyes widened and looked like a copper bell: "You can ask for that?"

"Exactly, why not!", Jue Yu playfully raised his brows, "I went to visit Qi Sheng in his General's residence. Looking at him pitifully laying on his stomach with his head hanging dejected, I couldn't help but feel happy inside. I then showed him the slavery deed sealed with the Imperial Jade seal, said, 'You were whipped by His Majesty as your punishment, not only you have fallen from the Emperor's favor, now you have been sold by His Majesty, if I don't want you, who else will want you?'

After he said that, he laughed loudly. Causing the tea inside the cup shook disorderly.

Jue Yu sat and chatted with them in the serving quarter for quite some time. He told the Blind Concubine to rest properly, then rose to excuse himself.

Xiao Bao walked him out, then came back to the Blind Concubine's bedside.

"This Jue Yu, he is really unpredictable."

The Blind Concubine blinked his eyes, lightly and said: "It is as expected."

Obviously he knew the news about the General being hurt, he hurriedly galloped nonstop on his horse to come to the Capital.

Obviously he was worried, but he still had assumed an air as if the matter was not of concern on his face.

Obviously he was pained by his yearning love, yet he wouldn't let the person know. Once they met, he would taunt the person as if not the least bit concerned.

Obviously his heart was hurting, yet he remained with his haughty attitude, unwilling to lower his head.

This kind of stubbornness, this kind of loneliness, unwilling to put down the pride he loved so much.

Most probably would only lead to his own suffering.

The Blind Concubine curled up his body. His eyes were blank. He murmured to himself: "This Jue Yu, ultimately a person who says one thing but means another....."
