GENERAL'S LADY

CHAPTER 12

AT THE CAMP,  PRVEIOUS DAY, CHU XIUMING  SAYS HE WILL NOT ALLOW THE PRINCESS TO STAY IN HIS MANSION.

CHY XIUMING: " TOMORROW,  I CAN'T LET THE NINTH PRINCESS COME TO THE MANSION. "

XIAO SU: "  GENERAL, THIS IS FOR LORD JIN,  RIGHT? "

CHU XIUMING: " IN ORDER TO KEEP JIN'ER OUT OF IT AND KEEP HER SAFE, I DIDN'T SAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER.  THAT'S NOT FAIR FOR HER. AND I KNOW ABOUT HER.  SHE MAY TAKE IT WRONG AGAIN WITH THE NINTH PRINCESS'S VISITING.  SO I CAN'T FOLLOW THE ORDER. "

XIAO SU: " BUT IT'S THE ORDER FROM HIS MAJESTY. ISN'T IT AGAINS THE LAW TO REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE ORDER? "

CHU XIUMING: " A MAN SHOULD KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WHAT CAN'T BE DONE.  IF I BREAK HER HEART, THEN I'LL REGRET THE WHOLE LIFE.  SHE IS JUST A PRINCESS. EVEN SHE IS A GODESS FROM HEAVEN,  NOTHING ABOUT HER CAN WIN OVER JIN'ER IN MY HEART.  WE WILL LOVE EACH OTHER  FOREVER.  I CAN DO ANYTHING FOR HER.  WHY SHOULD I FEAR DEATH? "

XIAO SU SIGHS: "  LORD JIN'S SO LUCKY  THAT SHE CAN MARRY YOU, AND HAVE A GOOD HUSBAND. . DON'T WORRY. I WON'T REPORT IT TO HIS MAJESTY. "

CHU XIUMING: " YOU FAKED YOUR DEATH TO FINISH THE JOB ORDERED BY HIS MAJESTY. , BUT , IF YOU DON'T REPORT ABOUT ME,   YOU MAY PUNISHE FOR LYING TO HIS MAJESTY. I'M AFRAID  YOU WILL BE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF ME.  PLEASE FORGIVE ME. "

XIAO SU: " YOU ARE AN HONEST MAN. AND I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH LIKE A COWARD.  GENERAL, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT. I HAVE BEEN IN THE IMPERIAL ARMY FOR MANY YEARS,  AND I KNOW HOW TO WEAR A DISGUISE. HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE SPIES SENT BY MINISTERS AMONG THE ATTENDENTS OF PRINCESS.  YOU MUST BE CAREFUL, GENERAL. "

CU XIUMING: " AFTER THIS,  GO BACK TO THE IMPERIAL COURT.  YOU CAN AVOID BEING SEEN, AND  FIND ABOUT THE NINTH PRINCESS. I'LL MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE PRINCESS TOMORROW ABOUT ME AND JIN'ER. I'LL REFUSE HER AND MAKE HER QUIT HERSELF.  I WON'T LET JIN'ER WORRY ABOUT ME. "

THE NEXT DAY, [PRESENT]

CHU XIUMING MEETS THE NINTH PRINCESS  INSIDE HIS MANSION.

THE NINTH PRINCESS'S MAID: " HER HIGHNESS IS HERE BY HIS MAJESTY'S ORDER.  WHY DON'T WE FEEL WELCOMED  HERE? AND WHY THERE ARE NO RECEPTIONISTS HERE? I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE.  "

CHU XIUMING: " I AM CHU XIUMING, YOUR HIGHNESS NINTH PRINCESS. "

THE NINTH PRINCESS: " YOU MAY RISE UP."

CHU XIUMING: " WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,  I DIDN'T PLAN TO LET YOU IN. "

THE NINTH PRINCESS'S MAID: " HOW DARE YOU!  CHU XIUMING, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

CHU XIUMING: " I HAVEN'T MET YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS  NINTH PRINCESS.  AND THE MANSION HAS IT'S ORDER.  PRINCESS, YOU ARE A ROYAL . IF YOU LIVE IN THE MANSION, I FEAR THAT OUR SERVICES  CAN'T FIT YOUR NEED, AND THE ORDER MAY BE BROKEN. INSTEAD OF AFFECTING EACH OTHER , I THINK IT'S BETTER  THAT I FIND ANOTHER ACCOMODATION  FOR YOU. "

THE NINTH PRINCESS'S MAID: " CHU XIUMING, YOU ARE ACTING AGAINS THE ORDER. "[THE PRINCESS STOPS]

THE NINTH PRINCESS: "   GENERAL, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR REASON  FOR DISCOURAGING ME  FROM LIVING HERE.  CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS IT? "

CHU XIUMING: " THANK YOU , PRINCESS. I HAVE ALREADY FALLEN FOR SOMEONE.  MY WIFE AND I HAVE MADE PROMISE THAT OUR LOVE IS DEEP AS THE SEA AND HARD AS  THE GOLD.  IT WILL BE INCONVENIENCE FOR YOU TO LIVE TOGETHER.  ALTHOUGH MY WIFE IS GENEROUS,  SHE'S A WOMAN AFTER ALL.  IF YOU LIVE TOGETHER,   SHE MAY BECOME JEALOUS. "

WHEN SHEN JIN NOITICES THE NINTH PRINCESS BEIG SAD, SHE COMES DOWN AND COMFORTS HER AND ENCOURAGES HER TO STAY IN THE MA: " YOUR HIGHNESS, NINTH PRINCESS,  "
