"I felt some people carrying me away from the wrecked carriage, it seems that it was like a miracle that I survived for the carriage was torn into pieces. I heard voices, calling out to me, they were panicking. They transfer me into another carriage, they whip the horses hard enough to bring me to the nearest infirmary. I was giving my all just to stay awake, but as soon we reach a castle, I could no longer fight it, I closed my eyes and let the Gods decide."
The running maids and guards have woken up the sleeping beautiful man. He woke up with a frown on his face as he looked outside the window. The maids where carrying a bloody dress. He cleared his vision on trying to recognize the dress. Letting out a gasp he finally recognized those orange dress. "Xiao?" he sighs. Shocked and traumatized was written on his face. Rubbing his forehead thinking 'Was that was hers? It couldn't be, but it looks like hers, but how?' questions run in his mind, over and over again. Putting on his disguise he quickly rushed out to the room. The little boy was violently awakened by his master "Get up, now" he hissed.
The citizen of He Fei has making a fuss about a bloody girl being rushed in the castle. Somebody have recognized her and started a huge rumor. It reached the Han quickly and affected the Wu Empire's state.
On the other side, in Fan castle, Da Qiao was looking out from her balcony with a worried face. It was already three days when her little sister rushed out from the castle and until now she never heard any news from her. A cold air suddenly blows her hair, a tear run down her cheek "Xiao" she sighs.
Zhou Yu made his way down the place where everybody was talking about. Because he was single minded he didn't matter what he looked like but his little apprentice convinced him to dress up. His hair already grew longer and made Shun Po hard to decorate it, so he just let it down since his master was eager to get out immediately. Since he got woken up violently he doesn't have any clue what's going on. Observing his master's face he looked worried and angry at the same time, asking him what's going on might pissed him off, so it's better to wait until he cooled down.
Shun Po was an adopted child of the Sun family, Lu Xun teach him everything he knows. It's a mystery that the Sun family will adopt a child since there family tree is already a huge one. Rumors had it that Shun Po was not adopted by kindness but because of a rumored legitimate child, to keep that secret they kept him for he also carries a Sun blood. But no one confirms it.
They reached the infirmary where the bloody young lady was brought. Sima Yi and Zhang He was on the door discussing the event. The infirmary has two doors, maids with white cloths came in and then spoiled cloths. He suddenly turned pale seeing blood and almost lost his balance, good thing that Shun Po was behind him "Lady Lee, please" he said with a concern on his voice, it caught the attention of the two officers.
"Lady Lee Ping!" Zhang He said with high pitch tone, approaching her with his own dance step and Sima Yi followed "Why, you look awfully pale!" he cupped her face. Zhou Yu manage to smile and stand on his own. "What is happing in here?" Shun Po translated. The three of them looked at the door way.
"Lady Xiao Qiao was seen in the cliffs with a crashed carriage" Sima Yi said with a smirk on his face.
Hearing it straight forward make Zhou Yu more jelly.
"How stupid of them to send a little girl to spy on us" Zhang He said.
"Is she going to be okay?" Shun Po said translating his Lady's sign language.
Sima Yi crossed his arms "Can't say the physician is still inside, but if you asked me, she looks like she can't make it, judging from those bloods she already lost"
Zhou Yu nods and clenched his fist secretly but Shun Po seen it.
In Jiang Dong, Sun Quan was drinking his tea, it was already mid-day and the sun was about to set. He sat peacefully at the balcony savoring the expensive tea. Lu Xun was walking hurriedly with a letter on his hand. It was urgent news.
"My Lord!" he called him
"Lu Xun please, let me rest for just little while" he complained.
"Da Qiao is on her way to Jiang Dong" he blunts it out.
"What?!" he said almost spilling his tea.
"Your letter have trigger Lady Xiao Qiao to come here, that what she said and it was already three days when she left"
"Three days? It only took a night to get here"
"My Lord" Lu Xun said with a concern on his face.
Sima Yi and Zhang He left the infirmary, leaving Zhou Yu and Shun Po at the door way, the physician refuse to tell him what the status of the patient was for he was ordered to report only to Cao Cao. He was greatly irritated. The maids have stopped going in and out of the room, the commotion was slowly calming down but not him.
Shun Po looked around; making sure nobody was there before he speak. "My Lord, what now?" he asked in a very low tone "Go check the court room now" he hissed. The little boy nod and left immediately, leaving him alone in the door way.
Zhou Yu watches the little boy run until he turned left. Now he was alone and still confuse, for he doesn't know how to deal with this. He planned everything before but not expecting this to happened. He looked at the door with despair, even though he have not yet confirm that it was truly his wife, based on what he saw, what Sima Yi said and what he is feeling right now made him confirm it was really his wife.
Pointing finger at who started this all was pointless right now, all he has to do now is to think of a plan to escape his wife out of here and finish this for once. But the thought of Xiao Qiao being badly wounded would take time for her to escape and the worse of all he has no idea what's her condition is. The only thing that was blocking him was the door. There were no guards or maids; it was him that's blocking himself. Can he really take this?
Letting out a deep sigh he pushed the door and slid in. The room was field with cold air, the light was deem, there twelve beds but only one was occupied. He slowly approaches her bed, his chest was pounding with guilt and anger but it all stopped seeing her peaceful face sleeping.
There were bandages on both arms of hers and her forehead. Zhou Yu could not think of anything right now just by looking at her. He walked to her side and slowly kissed her forehead "I'm sorry for I brought this to you" he whispered, cupping her round face and gave her a passionate kiss.
Shun Po quickly returns at the infirmary he stopped as he saw him closing the door. He looked like he just came out. The little boy walked to him "My Lord" he said letting him know that his behind him. Zhou Yu was facing the door, as if he was cursing someone, "Go to the kitchen and fetch me a bottle of wine, now" he hissed again. He wanted to tell the information he obtain but in his state he might rage into anger and the whole mission will be aborted. Granting all his orders was maybe to keep him in pace.
In the highest chamber, Zhen Ji was lying on the bed, the covers was the only thing covering her from the cold breeze of the night, she was naked under those sheets. Her husband Cao Pi was staring at the glass of wine, sitting at the edge of their bed. They were informed about Xiao Qiao and it got him thinking. A soft hand from his back rubs his shoulder "My, my, why are you still awake?" Zhen Ji whispered in a seductive voice. Cao Pi smirk "A little girl from Wu came here with no guards and hurt herself" he put the glass down and turn to her pinning her down. Zhen Ji gaps at the sudden action. "This maybe the start of something interesting" the couple continued their activity.
On the other room, their activity can be heard. Zhen Ji was moaning loudly. It gave Sima Yi an awkward moment. They were discussing about Xiao Qiao, what they will do to her. Cao Cao, Sima Yi and the physician was the only person on the room.
"What an irritating noise that is" Sima Yi said.
"Leave them be, don't act like you have sex with your wife" Cao Cao hissed.
The physician smirk, trying to hide his laughter "You may go, good lad" waving his hand at the man. He bowed and left quickly.
"So? What now? I don't see that, that girl will be any use for us"
"Weren't you listening? I'll decide what I'll do to her as soon as she wakes up" Cao Cao said in full authority. Sima Yi just bowed but with a smirk on his face.
There already several bottles of wine lying on the floor but there were no sign that he was drunk. Zhou Yu has been ordering Shun Po to go and fetch him more but after the sixth bottle he stopped obeying him. He was lying on the floor with the bottles while Shun Po was standing watching him to get wasted.
"My Lord, please, getting drunk will not solve problems"
"Its already hard for me, being in this situation and now this?" he blunts out
"She'll be fine, I heard from the whisperings from the maids and some officers; I also heard that Cao Cao will not yet do anything to her until she wakes up"
"Why his waiting until she wakes up?"
Shun Po took a deep breath and swallowed "There's possibilities that she could have an amnesia"
His eyes widen as the word 'amnesia' sink in, in his mind "Wha-why? An amnesia?"
"Maybe because she lost an amount of blood"
Zhou Yu stood up quickly and removed his make-up and re arrange his clothes from feminine to masculine. "Get me a horse now!" he hissed once more.
