Zi Nong, at a young age, has been living in the palace and also on several occasions, with Wan Yan Xu, she has camped with the soldiers hence, accustomed to seeing those stares. She was, for a moment, surprised, looked back at Su Yi whose body was like a broken rag doll, ‘how could it possibly evoke a desire inside of Wan Yan Xu. Master was not in favour of a male partner, so why were his eyes like that? Maybe I’d guessed wrong.’ She did not understand why would Wan Yan Xu l.u.s.ted for a man, and a hot-blooded man like Su Yi, a body covered with blood to seduce his carnal needs.
Wan Yan Xu tried to control himself, but suddenly Su Yi looked up. As the four eyes locked, the man’s unyielding has remained in domitable. The hatred in his heart was urging to burst out to take control, and he almost instantly wants to enter the cell, to place the other man’s body beneath him, to see how stubborn the man will last till the end. His fists clenched and with great difficulty repressed his desires. He turned angrily away and ordered Zi Nong: “Let’s go.” Then he left without looking back. Su Yi was surprised and wondered what bee is in his bonnet.

Wan Yan Xu did not like a male partner. Although h.o.m.os.e.xuality was popular in Qi and Kim Liao in this era, which he did not persecute but did not care for it either. Nevertheless, the sudden situation was fated coincidence; the thought of Su Yi’s tortured body was desirable made him shocked and angrier for such reaction. He thought that maybe the situation had arisen because he was too busy with country affairs and had not been spending times with his concubines. Therefore, when he returned to the palace, he went to his most favourite De Yinji’s chamber.
.
De Yinji and her maidservant were playing chess for fun so upon heard the King’s arrival, she hastened to go freshen up, but Wan Yan Xu pulled her back. Since she was the King’s favourite concubine and a clever woman, she quickly saw the desire in Wan Yan Xu’s eyes and was quite clear of his needs. She hastily withdrew her servants and seduced by using endless gentle words with him, and embraced Wan Yan Xu as she led him inside her chamber.
.
Normally, De Yinji’s behaviour would be enough to make Wan Yan Xu pleased. However, today for some unknown reason, when he looked at the beautiful face and the grin smiled, he felt even more depressed. Su Yi’s delicate face suddenly appeared in his mind. The man’s face may not be vividly beautiful like the face before him and always surrounded with a gush of cold, haughty air. His face was arrogant like Ochna Integerrima and yet, elegant like an orchid. He has very thin lips, and those lips have been refusing to emit any sounds so easily, but tightly pursed; the pain and its groaning was held by his stubbornness behind the lips, reminisced others to feel hate and empathize with him.
He was deep in thought that he did not know when De Yinji had removed his coat, and she left only a red undergarment, exposed half of pale as snow body, which arouses other’s reveries. She was breathing breathlessly and smiling charmingly, said: “Your Majesty was busy these days and did not bother that your servant is missing you.” When she finished, she was laying on Wan Yan Xu’s arms, really seductive and indescribably attractive.
.
Wan Yan Xu at this time did not feel the slightest desire for her, especially upon hearing that sentence. What he most currently needed is to conquer, and to conquer a wilful man will ensure his satisfaction. How could De Yinji’s yielding body possibly meet his needs? He pushed the body coldly away, draped his coat on again then he saw the stunned eyes thus, only casually coaxed and said: “I suddenly remembered some important businesses to take care of. You can continue playing. I saw that the last time you were interested in jade bracelets. Tonight, I’ll order Xiao Shunzi to give it to you.”He finished off quickly, and left a rejoicing De Yinji, who kept thanking him.

Zi Nong thought that when her Master entered the concubine’s chamber, he would not leave there until half a day later, so she looked for Zi Nan to have a chat with. When Wan Yan Xu could not find her, he simply called Zi Liu over and said: “You’ll go to death row prison and bring Su Yi here; I want to personally question him.”
Zi Liu wondered why the man should be interrogating though he is an enemy, but kept her lips tight. Nevertheless, with the look of her Master’s face with stiff tendency, she did not dare ask. She quickly went to death row prison and had a few jailers brought Su Yi over and hastily went back to the palace. Wan Yan Xu then ordered everyone out. She was puzzled and quickly queried: “Your Majesty, this is not good. Su Yi is good at martial arts, if you get hurt……”before she finished, Wan Yan Xu sneered: “If he is this skilful, I would know. Now get out. My rules, you still have not yet understood?”
Zi Liu knew he has always been uncompromising, too afraid to counsel and dejectedly went out. She quickly searched for ZiNong and Zi Nan to lash out: “You came here to enjoy yourself, instead of waiting on Master.”
Zi Nong giggled and laughed: “Master is doing that thing which does not require my attendant, so why should I not steal a moment of laziness? At this moment, he must be going crazy with De Yinji?”
Zi Liu was surprised and said: “What folly are you on about? The King is simply not with her Ladyship. I was working on medication when he ordered me to go and take Su General to the palace, and said that he will interrogate the man. Even I was not allowed to remain there.”Before she finished, she saw Zi Nong’s eyes widen as big as a bell. Zi Nan, who has always been composed, even panicked and hastily asked: “Zi Nong, do you know what the King’s intention is? Quickly tell me.”
.
Zi Nong was impatient and said: “What else to say? If we’re not leaving now, it will be too late.”She stood up to leave. Zi Nan and Zi Liu glanced at each other, was about to follow her outside as well, but was surprised to find her slumped down, depressed and said: “Well, what can I do even if I’m going? Oh, the poor Su General……Well …… what happened to the King? He had not cared for those things before.”
