The Polite ConcubinE ( ONGOING )

CHAPTER 27 " FOOLISH-- Wei Ying!!.."

Chapter 27

Foolish--Wei Ying !!

It was night. And Wei Ying was trying to leave the place again, because he could not afford to be caught after all the hassle he went through to get out from Ming country.

Wei Ying-- ( climbing the wall of the Inn)

( mumbling to himself)

" I went through so much trouble to escape. And want me to go back to the palace? No way!"

Gosh, what a tall wall. How do I get off it?"

Someone lit the firecracker at the same moment.

There was a boom and Wei Ying fell with a thud.

The boy who was lighting the firecracker, called out.

" Who's there?"

Wei Ying-- oh my eyes...dust got into my eyes. Damn...

The boy who saw his figure under the moonlight with his light clothes, thought he was a ghost. And he cried out.

" Help! Ghosts....ghosts...."

Wei Ying--(equally terrified) Ghosts? Where??

(He closed his eyes in fear.)

" I saw nothing. I know Nothing. Ghost brother, Ghost sister..... Don't come for me please....

SOB...I Won't go out at night ever again! (He cried and ran from there )

Wei Ying was finally out and walking in the dark.

" I've walked this far, but why does this place look so remote? Why there are no people? I will have to ask someone else about the way."

Then he saw a small inn like place in front.

" Finally something shows up!"

______________

While two men were talking in that remote Inn.

The first man-- Recently there's fewer and fewer people in here, and business has been more and more difficult.

Second man-- I can't raise that little girl anymore. What if...

Wei Ying interrupted their conversation with a smiling face.

Wei Ying-- hey....

Second man--( in a hushed tone) here comes our business!

First man-- hello my guest, do you need something to Quench the thirst?

Wei Ying-- Eh...In fact I just want to ask for directions. Can you please help me?"

Second man-- My Guest, there's only this one Inn within 5 kilometers that offers water and Meal.

First man-- And our business is small but honest. It is cheap and ample. Don't miss this opportunity!

Wei Ying--( with a sorry face ) Actually I went out in such a hurry that I did not bring any money with me. Do you accept this? Will you still help me?"

Second man-- Sure, why not? We are good people after all.

Wei Ying-- Thank you. I will check out after finishing the meal.

First man-- No problem.

Both First and second man, smile devilishly in secret. Wei Ying doesn't see their faces.

They served him food.

First man-- My Guest, please drink this tea, and eat the sesame cakes that comes with it.

Wei Ying-- ( gratefully) thank you.

Waiter, I would ask something. Which way do I take if I want to go to Baiyun City?

First man-- Baiyun City is on the border between the Ming country and the Chen country. Why would you go there?"

Wei Ying--( with annoyance ) I have my business. Is there a problem?

First man-- No, no. Absolutely not.

Wei Ying--( suddenly feeling dizzy after drinking the tea and murmuring) The tea...

Is there anything wrong with the Tea?"

" It has not been long and yet I have already found this crude Tea difficult to drink! How will I survive....sigh"

" Oh My head....I feel a Little Dizzy?? Am I suffering....from Heatstroke?"

Uhh ......"

Wei Ying clutched his head with both hands. And in no time he was unconscious.

First man-- Little brother, this man is fashioned in an extravagant manner. He does not seem like an ordinary person. Should we really do this?

Second man-- What are you saying big brother? He is so beautiful. Let's sell him, then there's no need for us to stay here, gathering dust!"

_______________________

On the other hand, Yan Zichen and Lan Wangji were on horse, moving through the forest.

Zichen-- Won't we save him?

Lan Wangji-- ( with a stern face ) He ran away without permission. We should let him suffer first. Then find out about his true identity.

He looks at Zichen with raised eyebrows.

" What? Do you feel sorry for him?"

Zichen-- No. He isn't my Xie Qing.

Lan Wangji-- ( showing no emotion ) Pulls the horse to speed up his pace.

" A Yan, you notify the palace guards to come here. I'll stay here with flower shadow. You go!"

A Yan-- As you wish Majesty!

( In mind ) Wangji, would you really go this far, to make him suffer? Or are you here to save him? "

Zichen shakes his head. " Wei Ying, you are so dumb. Why flee? Wangji would have helped you."

He sighs and leaves.

To be Continued....

NOTE:--

I know the update is short but you know about my hand pain. Yet, I'm writing the next Part already, so it will be posted in the next three days.

Now what do you think Lan Wangji will do? Is he really going to let Wei Ying suffer?

And Wei Ying, about him, what are your suggestions? 😄

Tell me in the comments please.

And don't worry, soon there will be Wangxian scenes.

Take care.
