After the sun inclined, the Palace’s servant came to report : “Master, everything has been put in order properly. This house is very far from the Imperial Palace, also very far from the downtown area, very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a pond, there is only a bridge which connected this place to the outside. Master in here can recover better. Your humble subjects will go back to the Imperial Palace to report.”
The Blind Concubine answered him: “Alright.”
Palace’s servants left one by one, only leaving behind a small attendant to help him draw the water and clean the house.
The Blind Concubine softly asked him: “Are there any fish in the pond?”
The small attendant replied: “Answer, Master. There are lotuses on the pond. The whole pond is covered by the lotus leaves, maybe there are fish there.”
On the lips of The Blind Concubine, slowly a smile appeared, “Well, it must be very beautiful.”
“Yes, It is. It is very beautiful”, the small attendant happily told him, “The Lotus’s leaves are of fresh green, The Lotus itself are of a pinkish color, seemingly they wanted to reach the heaven. Extremely beautiful.”
The Blind Concubine gently laughed: “Is that so?”
He finally got out from the Palace. Suffering for a very long time, finally he could leave the Palace forever.
The Emperor from a place not far from him secretly fixed his eyes on him.
After a very long time, for the first time he could see a smile on that pale face again.
He had almost forgotten the smiling expression of Wen Mu Yan.
So, when he could see it again today, he felt that it was as beautiful as the first time when he saw it.
Wen Mu Yan thought he had already left the Palace to a faraway place, moved into an ordinary house somewhere in Capital.
