You are my Consort

Apologise

Next morning
Zhan came back with his father back to his kingdom. He walked to his mother's room with his father.

"Mother....."said Zhan and bowed to her.

"Ahh...my son you are back...."said Sha and hugged Zhan.

"Yes mother...."said Zhan.

"Go get fresh and eat something...."said Sha and Zhan nodded.

"First.... let's meet my baby...."thought Zhan and walked towards Yibo's room as he entered there he saw Xing and Ming sitting there while crying. As they saw Zhan they rushed towards him and fell on his feet.

"Your highness..... please save young master...."said Xing.

"Please your highness...."said Ming.

Zhan was shocked to see them begging like this.

"What happened...."asked Zhan as they told him everything.

Zhan rushed to the basement room and barged inside as he saw Yibo lying on the floor in the darkness while his hands and legs were tied.

"Yibo...."said Zhan and fell on his knees. He picked Yibo on his lap and looked at his tear stained face. He quickly opened his hands and legs and hugged him tightly while tears rolled down his eyes.

"Gege...."said Yibo in a muffled voice.

"Yes Yibo....gege....is here Yibo...."said Zhan.

"Ge....ge...."said Yibo and clutched on Zhan's clothes and started sniffing as Zhan realised Yibo was crying.

"Don't cry baby....I am here..... okay...."said Zhan as Yibo started crying miserably while hugging Zhan

"Sorry Yibo......i shouldn't have left you alone...."said Zhan while rubbing Yibo's back and picked him up in his arms and carried him.

Zuyin was on her way as she saw Zhan carrying Yibo.

"This boy...."said Zuyin gritting her teeth.

Zhan carried him to his room and placed him on his bed.

"Brother...."said Xing and Ming as bith rushed to the kitchen.

They brought warm water, food and drinks with them. Just in a moment everything was in front of Zhan's eyes.

"Brother....."said Xing in a painful voice as she cleaned Yibo's face who was still inside Zhan's arms.

While Ming was rubbing antiseptic on the marks caused on Yibo's hands by the ropes.

Zhan didn't understand why they were calling him brother but he don't have time to ponder over that.

Zhan took a bowl of soup and moved the spoon in front of Yibo's mouth.

"Eat it Yibo...."said Zhan but Yibo didn't opened his mouth.

"Drink it Yibo....."said Zhan slowly but Yibo shook his head.

"Okay then eat something...."said Zhan  but Yibo was still not ready to open his mouth and he suddenly fainted in Zhan's arm.

"Yibo.....wake up...."said Zhan while patting his cheeks worriedly.

As Qin entered inside the room with a imperial doctor.

"Zhan...."said Qin and Zhan looked at her.

"Doctor.... please take a look at him...."said Zhan as he placed Yibo on the bed. He held Yibo's hand tightly and was not even ready to let it go.

The doctor checked Yibo's pulse and his eyes.

"Don't worry my lord....he is fine.... just a little weak and scared.....he went unconscious due to not eating properly.....make him eat healthy food when he wake up"said the doctor and Zhan nodded his head.
