Okay, I lied that I wouldn't write till end of month. I managed to write yesterday in celebration of being halfway through my exams and because the scenes couldn't stop playing in my mind. I need to let them out!

You better comment and vote, though, haha

Chapter 64

Bai Shen Hong
Emperor Huizhong

Three days since he last saw Li Lian, three days since he last got a good night sleep, three days of regret and remorse.

'Li Lian, where are you?'

Yuwen Hong jumped off his horse with a virtuoso. He patted the head of his huge black horse and unsheathed his sword as he approached a kneeling traitor who was guarded by his generals.

"Why is he still alive?" Yuwen Hong was irritated.

"Grand General, these servants assumed Grand General would like to question him." Outside the palace, they were to address him not as 'His Majesty' for many purposes concerning his security.

Like he cared. He didn't care for anyone, all he wanted was Li Lian.

"Where did you find him?"

General Ling bowed, she was the only female general he had and way better than half his generals. Her fierce attitude is what he liked, her impulsiveness is what he disliked.

"He was knocked out behind the bush."

Yuwen Hong flexed his fingers around the holder of his sword. "Li Lian is not here?"

"We have only found all the dead criminals except him and... Concubine Pi... was murdered."

"Where is Li Lian?"

"Answering to Grand General, Imperial Concubine Wei is not here." General Ling looked behind her. "We have questioned Consort Wang, but she has refused to speak until Grand General arrives. She will not move from where she seats."

"I'm here now, she must start talking then. Have you done the official protocols?"

"Yes, we summoned the coroner who has already covered what needs to be done, the time of death is estimated to be three days ago. We await for Grand General to allow us to carry away the body of the resting imperial."

The general that escorted Yuwen Hong arrived from behind, the man was quite slow that Yuwen Hong left him behind by a massive distance as they rode to this place. He had been anxious to arrive as soon as possible, in case his love was waiting for him. But she wasn't.

Yuwen Hong looked down at the criminal. "Do you know what you did wrong?"

He shook his head, causing General Ling to kick him. "You will not answer  the Grand General using body language!"

"I did nothing! The woman hit me when I took her to relieve herself, a few days ago."

"What woman?"

"The Furian looking woman."

"Li Lian? What did she look like?"

"She was the most beautiful... elf-like ears..."

It had to be Li Lian. Who would have that courage? "Where did she go?"

"I was passed out."

"You are telling me you were knocked out for days?"

The young man groaned. "When I woke up hours later, I couldn't walk. The villain behind me had stabbed my legs, it was too painful to run away."

Consort Wang was clever after all. She did him right.
