Jue Yu sipped the tea. “I heard the news that Qi Sheng was punished by the Emperor, he suffered ten times the whippings, bedridden to recuperate. Thereupon, I especially rushed to come over and had a good laugh at him. By fortunate coincidence, I ran into His Majesty and he requested me to treat your illness for you. In my heart, I knew that I could take this as a cheap bargain, so I conveniently asked His Majesty to order an Imperial Decree, to grant me a slavery deed of Qi Sheng. From now on, I am the Master, he is the slave. If I want him to go east, he wouldn’t dare to go west.”
Xiao Bao’s eyes widened and looked like a copper bell: “You can ask for that?”
“Exactly, why not!”, Jue Yu playfully raised his brows, “I went to visit Qi Sheng in his General’s residence. Looking at him pitifully laying on his stomach with his head hanging dejected, I couldn’t help but feel happy inside. I then showed him the slavery deed sealed with the Imperial Jade seal, said, ‘You were whipped by His Majesty as your punishment, not only you have fallen from the Emperor’s favor, now you have been sold by His Majesty, if I don’t want you, who else will want you?’”
After he said that, he laughed loudly. Causing the tea inside the cup shook disorderly.
Jue Yu sat and chatted with them in the serving quarter for quite some time. He told the Blind Concubine to rest properly, then rose to excuse himself.
Xiao Bao walked him out, then came back to the Blind Concubine’s bedside.
“This Jue Yu, he is really unpredictable.”
The Blind Concubine blinked his eyes, lightly and said: “It is as expected.”
Obviously he knew the news about the General being hurt, he hurriedly galloped nonstop on his horse to come to the Capital.
Obviously he was worried, but he still had assumed an air as if the matter was not of concern on his face.
