War Prisoner Chapter 21

Su Yi fretted all through the night, not even daring to move. Just as dawn was breaking, he finally managed to doze off. In contrast, Wanyan Xu slept soundly, waking up with his body and spirits refreshed. Looking at Su Yi who was lying by his side, Wanyan Xu could see that even in repose, Su Yi's brows were still tightly scrunched up, as if he was still on alert. A light laugh escaped from his lips, he thought to himself: Is there really such a need to be so wary of me [1], with a person like you, only when the time is right and proper can I recklessly behave as I please. For now, I need to reign in my impulses. Only...

Aii... I know that if I don't force you, you will not be willing to satisfy my wishes. Su Su, if it comes to that, don't blame me for being heartless. It's your fault for being so good, just a little taste has made me unable to extricate myself.

Seeing that Su Yi was unable to sleep peacefully, he quietly arose. Emerging from the bedchamber, with a wave of his hand, he indicated that the palace maids were not to go inside. Standing in the hall, he said: "Let your movements be light and soundless, I [2] don't want him to be startled awake. The shame of being captured, hatred over the destruction of his country, aii, he must have been enduring much torment these days."

Zi Nong covered her mouth to hide her smile and whispered to Zi Liu: "I have served our Master for a long time, but I have never known that he was such a kind man." Before she had finished, Wanyan Xu had already shot her a glare. Alarmed, she hurried over to help Wanyan Xu put on his dragon robe [3] while saying: "Your Majesty, are you going to make the announcement about moving the capital today? I'm afraid that the news would cause uproar in court."

Wanyan Xu's eyes grew cold and he said: "That doesn't matter, the capital must be moved sooner or later anyway." With a smile, he continued: "I've heard from Yu Cang that the Garden of Merriment in the Qi palace is extremely exquisite and opulent, almost as if it had been constructed by heavenly craftsmen. It will be a suitable residence [4] for the Empress."

Zi Liu said: "Does that mean that even though your Majesty has resisted naming a queen for years, you now have a candidate in mind? This is a momentous decision, not only must the choice suit your Majesty's wishes, but it would be best if the Crown Prince is in agreement as well. After the new queen has been crowned, she will have to assume the heavy responsibility of bringing up the Crown Prince. The average person would not be able to handle this requirement."

Wanyan Xu replied: "That won't be a problem; the new queen would certainly be able to guide Shuo Er well. That's enough, this is not an appropriate time to discuss such matters, they can wait until we have moved to the new capital. It's time to attend court." So saying, he left with long strides, leaving Zi Liu and Zi Nong to look at each other in dismay, neither of them sure of the intentions behind Wanyan Xu's words.

As expected, Wanyan Xu's decision caused the gathered courtiers to behave as if their lightning had erupted over their heads, rendering them totally dumbstruck. Only Yu Cang was in favour of this decision.
