Transmigrated into the worst concubine (BL)

chapter 117

Zheng Qiao at the news of his supposed child ran to kill the man who took them away, but still being too weak to do anything. He was beaten near half dead by the prince, but he didn't care; he wanted revenge.

But what happened next only shocked him more, Wen Ying in order to save him he broke off the engagement to his brother and married the prince.

"Ying no! You will suffer in that place let me die! Ying! Ying"

Wen Ying gently walked up to him, and brushed a lock of hair behind his ear then gave the soft and gentle smile ever.

" don't worry about me, you are a good boy now" Wen Ying gently caresses his face before coldly turning away.

The engagement between Wen Ying and the 4th prince made Qiao felt terrible, and so he said he would free him and let his brother be emperor and kill the 4th prince. Qiao at the age of 16 went to the battlefield where he met his future bestfriend Shen Weiyuan. He was only older than Shen Weiyuan by 2 years, Qiao suffered greatly on the battlefield from paranoia, insomnia and near death experiences. There were many times he wished to end his existence and reunite with his moonlight.

Zheng Qiao wasn't even sure of why he still clung to life, what he was fighting for each day, each night every second an hour, was torment for him. His only person was saving Wen Ying from the clutches of the prince, to free him so that he won't end up like Wen Xia. But sometimes even that seems futile but soon a new motivation sprung along with despair.

Her imperial highness the 36th princess had taken her own life

Something wasn't right. Zheng Qiao knew his sister, she treasured life, why would she take it away, Zheng Qiao was devastated and went home for answers. No one would tell him why or explain why his sister took her life. It was all covered up neatly and not even his brother whom he trusted.

"Gege aren't you a least bit su-"

"Shut up Qiao, your sister was stupid and weak. Don't look any further into this and just get lost"

The relationship between him and his elder brother became stained, Zheng Qiao wanted answers but what could he do?.

He wasn't allowed to see Wen Ying as the 4th prince hated him and allowed none to come near him. There is also the fact that Wen Ying was now popular as the flower of the imperial palace.

Zheng Qiao went and did his own investigation, he was a novice when it comes to all this but he tried his best one day while travelling to the more promiscuous part of the town he met someone who is a bit younger than him. He had no name, his attire was messy and he was hungry. Zheng Qiao had no reason to help but went and bought some meatballs and food for him.

From feeding one beggar to many Zheng Qiao took them under his wing, Zheng Qiao felt happy being able to help them and during this time it was one of the brothel maidens that he heard the truth behind his sister's death.

"Yes, it's true. It's meant to be hush hush but the 20th princess's death was not a coincidence. It is said that she found a terrible secret that led to her death"

"What secret?"

"We don't know, no really it's merely speculation on what could it"

Zheng Qiao had now made it his purpose to investigate privately about the secret behind his sister's death, during this time Wen Ying acquired the empress token and was promoted to honorary rank princess. Zheng Qiao was worried about Wen Ying. He was a very important person to him.

During this time his brother got his first child from his most beloved concubine.

"Qiao Er take this child to the orphanage" the voice of his brother was cold and distant but he could hear the muddled in his tone.

"Gege why?! Is he not your son?!"

"It's precisely because or that why I did this, right now my concubine is unconscious and doesn't know anything she will hate me once she awakens"

"Then why do this?! You love her so much! You didn't take in a single other spouse, rejected marrying into power for her. Why would you do this to your love child?!" He asked angered by his request

"Because of the sin of all of us, including this child, the first thing I told Shi before we we'd is that she will be miserable and she should never have children. She was so desperate for a child she stopped taking the medicine and risked being angry with me. So I in return did not get angry showered her with love and life she wanted as a mother I poured out all my love to this child"

His brother looked gently down at the sleeping baby in his arms. He laid a kiss on its forehead, he then placed a jade necklace around the baby's neck. It was well carved in a unique shape crest and he gently placed the baby in Zheng Qiao's arms.

Zheng Qiao could feel the trembling of his brother's hand and looked in his eyes that reflected deep sorrow, the brother then turned away swiftly.

"Take that child away now" he said hard heartedly.

"Are you at least not gonna turn around to take one last look at the baby?"

"My wife looked at the child, I looked at it, nothing significant. Take it away now!" He rebuke coldly

Zhen Qiao was shocked by his sudden change in attitude, he then turned away with the child leaving after doing so his brother broke down in tears.

As if predicting the horrible future ahead, the palace battle got more fierce with the growing days.

No one was safe. One day Wen Ying seeked out Zheng Qiao to hide from the prince.

"He wants to have children, but I believe the prince is impotent" Wen Ying said tearfully

Zheng Qiao pushed him off. "No, I've already lost one important person and child child to him I can't bare another" he said sternly rejecting him

"But if you don't" he made a long pause then said in a whispered tone. "I won't get to go home"

Zheng Qiao looked at him, "you want to go home?"

Wen Ying was startled as if caught off guard but then nods, "yes, I won't be allowed to unless I have a child to showcase to my family"

Zheng Qiao looked at him uncomfortably, "I can't!" He looked away from him painfully

Doing this felt as though he was betraying his love he just can't.

"Qiao er do you want me to end up like wen Xia? You can save me but you're refusing, aren't you basically telling me to die? I'm in this because I save you, remember? Is this how you'll repay me?"

Zheng Qiao bit his lip, he knew it was his fault that he risked everything for him and now he was being this ungrateful? Zheng Qiao slowly started to remove his robes and it was that night a cold passionless night he and Wen Ying did the deed.

After that night Zheng Qiao felt uncomfortable with his own body and didn't know why it was as if he was in a stranger's skin. He couldn't even look at Wen Ying the same again his investigation behind his sister's death was at a standstill.

He felt like a pathetic and disgusting human being after the declaration of Wen Ying child, the worst thing that could have happened in the palace. A huge fire that took the lives of most of the prince including that of his older brother.....
