Love Lost Through Time

THIRTEEN

* C is a abbreviation for concubine
C Jin: did you hear? That commoner had brung her filthy family in.

C Yanhua: of course! Who hasn't?

C Jin: first she seduces the king into making her first rank then she has her family enter the palace.

C Yanhua:  just disgusting. Oh did you hear?

C Jin: what?

C Yanhua: that bastard is pregnant.

C Jin: what!
She slam her hand onto the table as she stood from her chair.

C Yanhua: don't worry. It's not the kings child.

C Jin: how would you know?

C Yanhua: come here.

Yanhua said as she wave her hand for Jin to come closer.
C Yanhua: there's a rumor going around that she has a child already. A bastard child, and she is already 3 month pregnant. That's impossible.

C Jin: what you're saying is impossible. They're just rumors.

C Yanhua: that's true. But if there was no such thing, how could rumors have started? There is always roots to these rumors.

They both look to each other and a evil smirk shown across their faces.

"Excuse me." A voice was heard behind them. In a instant, they both turned around.

"Who are you" one of them shouted.

"What do you want?"

Startled but the rash respond he asked;

"Can you point me to Liyu's room?"

"Liyu?" Yanhua ask. Then suddenly she smirk and with the little grace she had left she pointed him in that direction.

"You must be new here. I never saw you before." She ask. Jin had confusion all over her face.

"I am. I was just going to visit her."

"Have a safe trip."
Yanhua bow to him as he did to her.

The man had walk away when they both made horrible plans.

"Your highness!! King!!!" A maid said as she came running in.

"How dare you!" The kings eunuch yelled.

"Forgive me but, a strange man enter Concubine Liyu's room."

The king set his book down when he heard.

"A strange man you say." The king ask.

"Yes, he wouldn't let us announce his presence and on top of that...."

"What is it?"

The maid quickly bow, with her head against the bare ground.

"I'm afraid to say." The maid said as her voice tremble.

"Say it"

"I seen Lady Liyu jump into that mans embrace. He must be her lover."
