Hunter:
In the silent night, the rushing
footsteps sounded flustered and anxious. There was a touch of panic as though
evil spirits were in pursuit. He ran into an alley, trying not to breathe heavily, feeling terrified.
For a long time, there was no
movement outside the lane. He relaxed, and leaned against the wall as both his
legs became soft but he did not dare rest. He shook his body into action and
stepped out of the alley cautiously.
A glinting knife appeared across
his neck. His whole body froze, his scalp was numb as a sharp chill cut through
his skin. He trembled with fright, and his fearful eyes looked at the person,
‘For-for…’
‘Where is he?’ the low voice was as
ghostly as a spectre making the man completely cold. His legs could not hold up
so he sank to the ground.
‘Please, please, I beg you…don’t
kill me…I beg you…’ he could not stop shaking, he was so scared, ‘I was just
trying to make money…everything was ordered by the young master…I-I’m
innocent…I ask Sir to forgive…forgive…’
The figure ignored the pleas; he
repeated the question, ‘Where is he?’
‘He, he…’ the man hesitated
answering, and the glinting blade flashed. He wailed painfully holding the
right arm that had been cut; warm blood spurted out.
The man was too noisy, the figure
kicked the man’s mute hole and asked, ‘Where is he?’
The man gasped, tears and snot
continued to flow and his red eyes stared up at the figure in fear. With
trembling lips, he opened his mouth silently.
He untied the man’s dumb hole,
‘Speak!’
‘He fell! He fell-he fell of the
cliff. Ah! Ah!’ the man’s left arm was cut off. He fell to the ground screaming
in pain. (Zuben: Ouchie! Sharp sword to be cutting through bone like it was
butter)
Seeing the figure coming closer
step by step, the man moved his legs in fear shuffling backwards, and his
crotch oozed liquid, ‘Ah, he jumped by him-oh!’ The man looked down; the silver
blade was pulled from his chest. It had no trace of blood. (Zuben: Shhwoo!)
Dismissing the dead body, he
stepped out of the alley. The weak light of the moon shone on the tall figure
and finally fell on the cold handsome face. (Zuben: Like a gentle slap)
Qin Yaotang clenched the hilt of
his sword and his body emitted a cold aura.
She had planned this! When he
returned to the carriage and found Dié-er unconscious, there was a scent of a
drug in the air, and she had disappeared. He figured out everything. He
followed her trail, but then he found blood. Following the blood, they came to a
cliff.
His heart ran cold.
He did not let himself think the
worst, he ordered his men to find the leader of the thieves. But he had gone
into hiding. It had taken half a month of find his whereabouts.
Thinking of Liu Ming’s words,
Yaotang’s eyes were cold.
She fell off the cliff…
Was this what she wanted? Designing
a robbery drama, at all costs, just to leave him? She didn’t even care about
her death?
‘Don’t even think about it!’ The
cold words were ground out of the general’s thin lips.
He would never allow her to leave
like this. Never! (Zuben: Yes but she gone!)
‘Send a search party down the
cliff.’ He quietly commanded his guards in the dark.
‘Yes!’
Yaotang closed his eyes and tried
to suppress the agitation in his heart. After a long time, he slowly opened his
eyes restoring the calm indifference. Only the hand on the hilt was still
tense, blue veins visible from his kin.
Pei Shaoqing, under the pure blue
sky, I will find you and you will never be allowed to escape from me ever
again.
Mioafu shot awake, her breathing
fast. Her expression was panicked and a sheen of sweat coated her forehead. A
cool hand suddenly covered her face, and she became scared and panicked,
shrinking away subconsciously. If she hadn’t been grabbed, she would have
fallen off the chaise longue.
‘What are you doing? Did you have a
nightmare?’ the person who caught her asked frowning.
Miaofu looked at the dark delicate
face,
‘Jiang Chuwei?’ she looked around.
She was in an elegant room, outside the terrace was a chic garden. Golden lace
curtains blew in the breeze which carried the faint scent of flowers. This was
the small room she lived in the palace. The person in front of her was her best
friend, Jiang Chuwei.
A year ago, she fell off the cliff,
by some miracle she had been rescued by Chuwei. She could not believe the dark
skinned woman was the once beautiful and glamorous queen Jiang Chuwei. And,
this dark skinned person was now Empress, and the Emperor loved her to death,
so much that this dark flower was the only one in the harem enjoying the
Emperor’s unique favour.
At that moment, she felt this world
was twisted.
For once when Chuwei and the
Emperor had a fight, Chuwei slipped out of the palace and ran into Jiang Haocheng;
brother and sister were happy to recognise each other. A Hao who had been a
tall and sturdy macho man, had become a pretty boy. He was dressed in the best
clothes.
When Miaofu considered A Hao’s
enchanting little face and Chuwei’s dark one, she felt comforted. (zuben:
really?) In comparison, her crossing was normal. Her appearance did not change,
she just grew taller and slimmer. This was enough; she did have much to ask
for.
‘Hey! Miaofu are you in a daze?’
Seeing Mioafu’s dozy expression, Chuwei flicked her forehead.
‘Ow.’ Miaofu held her forehead in
pain, the Queen’s hand was so painful, her forehead must be red. Miss Du who
was always bullied was too angry to speak, she muttered under her breath, ‘I
just can’t get used to your face.’
Beauty to black charcoal, a big
impact! (Zuben: We can’t have this again)
‘You had better.’ Chuwei did not
believe her. She had been watching her for a year, she didn’t believe Miaofu
couldn’t adapt. This woman knew very well how to transfer people’s attention
from what she wanted to avoid.
‘I have been watching you have
nightmares all year. What are you dreaming of?’
‘Who knows…?’ Miaofu replied
vaguely, shaking her head, ‘Who remembers what they dream of anyway?’ She woke
up and forgot the light.
Is that so? Chuwei did not believe
her, ‘Isn’t some left over impression?’
‘No.’ Miaofu shook her head
earnestly. Feeling thirsty after her slumber, she turned to pour herself a cup
of white ear lotus seed tea from the side table.
Seeing that she was not lying, Chuwei
reluctantly accepted it, ‘Hmm, I thought you were dreaming of the stinky man
that bullied you.’
Miaofu choked on her tea, and began
to cough. Her eyes reddened and teared up, and so did her face. She quickly
recovered and looked innocently surprised, ‘What stinky man…?’
Unfortunately, this move was
useless on Chuwei. She lazily stroked her five-month old belly and took a small
sip of the tea and watched the tension grow in Miaofu’s eyes.
Miaofu shivered a bit and looked
with like she had a guilty conscience.
Seeing her behave like this, Chuwei
knew her friend wanted to act stupid, but this time she wasn’t letting her off.
A year ago, she saved Miaofu from a creek, she had large and small scars on her
body. The most serious, was the wound in her abdomen, which looked like it had
been pierced by a rough weapon. At the time, Miaofu had a high fever and was
close to death. Chuwei looked after her day and night, rubbing her body with a
cold towel to dissipate the heat for her. Chuwei noted Miaofu had red and green
bruises interlaced with scars. She knew they were left behind by a man, she had
thought the bad injury was the worst of it.
However, when Miaofu recovered, her
mind was normal and her emotions were not affected, so Chuwei changed her
theory. But Miaofu would not tell her anything that had happened to her in this
world, including how she came to be injured and fell off a cliff.
Whenever Chuwei asked her, Miaofu
would think about it from left to right and would not answer. In so respects,
Miaofu had a stubborn personality. She may be timid, but when she was being
stubborn, she could not be moved. So Chuwei did not pester her at the start,
waiting for Miaofu to speak herself. But it had been a year, and this woman
still would not open up, now Chuwei had lost patience.
What she hadn’t told Miaofu was
that this past year, someone had been looking for her, but Xiahou Yin had been
blocking them, so the otherside would not find her. When she asked Xiahou who
the other person was, Xiahou was unable to find out. It was amazing, there were
forces that could avoid the scrutiny of the emperor. Xiahou told her that the
person may be a person of the Wulin. The things of the Jianghu, the emperor
could not interfere.
So who was that person? Why were
they looking for Miaofu? Chuwei was curious and all the answers were hidden in
Miaofu.
Chuwei watched the guilty looking
woman, her eyes fell to Miaofu’s hand. She reached out and snatched the item in
Miaofu’s hand.
‘Ah!’ Miaofu was surprised and
wanted to get the item back, but at the Empress’ glare, she retracted her hand.
Besides, Chuwei was pregnant; she didn’t want to fight for it. If something
should happen to Jiang Weiwei’s stomach, she will definitely be killed by elder
brother.
Xiahou Yin had become her brother.
When she returned to the Palace with Chuwei, the Emperor took her in as his
sister and Miaofu was ordained Princess Furong, the only folk princess of the
Shengyuan Dynasty.
Perhaps because Xiahou Yin loved
Chuwei so much, he loved everything that came with her. He loved his adopted
sister. Miaofu never called him Xiahou Yin, she always called him brother. And
they got along very well. And the Queen Mother also liked her adopted daughter
very much, and with an Empress who was the only one to get the favour of the Emperor
as a friend, Miaofu lived a good life in the Palace.
Chuwei played with the curved
wooden comb in her hand, her fingers stroking the hibiscus relief on it. It
wasn’t a valuable item, but Miaofu always carried it with her, not letting
others touch it. But when she looked at it, her expression was complicated and
her eyes glimmering.
‘So, who gave you this comb?’
‘I bought it myself.’ It was a very
obvious lie.
‘Is that so? To me, when you look
at this comb, it is as though you are looking at a lover. Who is it that you
want to forget?’
‘What to forget?’ Miaofu retorted,
agitated, ‘I don’t. I haven’t been thinking about him…ugh!’ She tried to stop
herself but Chuwei heard it.
‘Him?’ Chuwei repeated with raise
of her eyebrow, ‘Who?’
Miaofu kept mum and decided to be a
stuffed gourd.
‘You won’t say?’ The beautiful eyes
shifted slightly, Chuwei smirked, ‘Shall I guess?’
Chuwei was quiet for a while, then
she spoke, ‘The person is very brilliant, people notice him wherever he goes because
he is handsome and his conditions are good.’ She stared at Miaofu and
continued, ‘But his personality is autocratic, not gentle at all. He must be
obeyed, especially with you. You are not allowed to resist him, he holds
tightly on to you, you aren’t allowed to escape his control.’
Miaofu’s eyes widened and stared at
Chuwei, how could she guess…
‘He treats other women better than
you, but he is always fierce with you. Only uses a commanding tone with you,
will only bully you, makes you feel like a pet. Perhaps one day, when he becomes bored,
he will change to a new favourite and you will be discarded. How did I do? Am I
right?’
‘How did you…’ Miaofu couldn’t
articulate, her heart was shocked by the accuracy.
Looking at Miaofu’s stupefied appearance,
she knew she was right, and she could not help but shake her head, ‘Are you
curious as to how I guessed?’
Miaofu nodded.
Chuwei sighed and said, ‘Miaofu,
don’t you think he’s rather like your ex-boyfriends?’ (Zuben: So she doesn’t
learn her lesson)
Huh…Miaofu thought about it for a
long while, and her eyes slowly widened.
This woman…Chuwei did not know what
to say about her slowness, ‘Everytime you had a boyfriend, you are treated like
this, you think they don’t love you, you avoid them and run away. Then the next
one is the same, and so on. Miaomiao, I really sympathise with your exes.’
‘Why?’ Miaofu shouted, a frown
marred her face, as she continued, ‘it is clear that I am the victim in all
this. They just wanted an obedient lover. Whether they want me or not, they
decide for me. I don’t have the right to say no!’
She hated strong people, they were
too lofty to understand the little people. (Zuben: oh victim mentality)
‘But weren’t they good to you?’
Chuwei asked, ‘They decide things without permission, but if you really
protested, did they force you?’
Miaofu stopped. No. Yes, her
boyfriends’ personality was overbearing, but once she exceeded her limits and
refused, they didn’t push.
‘Yes, but he isn’t like that.’
Miaofu protested, ‘He is worse than they were. He is overbearing, he is autocratic.
He is just bad. He only oppresses me. He isn’t good to me at all. He doesn’t
love me at all. It’s totally different from my former boyfriends; he is much
worse!’
‘Oh~ he’s so awful…’ Chuwei said
with a nod, then she asked, ‘So why have you been thinking about him? You have
left so many men before, but I have never seen you miss them.’ (Zuben: Help me
ask her oh! There is nothing to recommend this fellow except he’s handsome and
rich)
‘I have not been thinking about
him…’ Miaofu protested weakly
‘Then, what is this?’ Chuwei shook the comb at her, ‘When you break
up, you usually throw away all the gifts they had given you. Yet you still have
this. Why are you keeping it?’
‘That…’
‘Don’t say he didn’t buy this for
you.’
‘I…I…’ Miaofu tried to protest but
under Chuwei’s censure, she bit her lip and didn’t speak.
Chuwei sighed, she didn’t want to
pressure her too much but she didn’t want her to keep hiding either.
‘Miaomiao, you are always
pessimistic. Everything is going to be bad. You don’t have any self esteem, you
say that those men who go after you just want an obedient pet, they don’t
really like you. But if they didn’t like you, would they chase you?’
‘But…’ Miaofu wanted to refute, but
she swallowed it under Chuwei’s glare.
‘Don't you think that those men with
their good conditions, shouldn’t they be chasing after beautiful and obedient
women? Why would they want to chase an ordinary girl like you?’
Miaofu really hadn’t thought about
it.
‘Miaomiao, do you know you are very
good?’ Chuwei smiled and said very seriously, ‘No one liked me nor were they
willing to be friends with me because I have too many advantages and am
beautiful. Too beautiful.’ She lamented without blushing at all. (Zuben: Aside
from the jealous peoples, there are a whole slew of sensible people who didn’t
want to be a dogsbody.)
Miaofu’s lips twitched, she was
accustomed to the Empress’ narcissism but it was strange for it to be coming
out of the plain dark face.
Chuwei turned a blind eye to
Miaofu’s incredulous expression and continued to aggrandise, ‘But only you are
close to me, seeing me as an ordinary person, treating me without any
contempt.’
Honestly, when she first met Du
Miaofu, Jiang Chuwei was not surprised. (Zuben: I don’t get it.)
‘You are sincere to everyone. You
have had a sad and traumatic life from childhood till adulthood, treated like a
personal foot ball by your relatives and finally pushed into an orphanage, but
you never complained about it, you remained strong and happy. Miaomiao, you are
very attractive. Truly! If I had been a man, I would chase you.’
Actually, A Hao had wanted to date
Miaomiao, but she stopped him with her fist. She had found Miaomiao, no one
could take her. So when Miaomiao wanted to get rid of those men and hide from
them, she helped. After all, she was selfish and wanted to monopolise her only
good friend. She had a blind spot when it came to Miaomiao. She could never say
no, she never wanted someone to take her away.
Thinking of this, Chuwei could not
help but feel guilty. The only way to make up for it was to help solve the
current issue, because she could see that Miaomiao was different with this
man. When she had broken up with the other man, Miaomiao had not been so lost.
(Zuben: Fuck knows why she’s lost now)
She must really like this stinky
man this time, she thought. So even if it pained her, Chuwei decided to be her
spiritual advisor.
After hearing Chuwei’s words,
Miaofu was stunned stupid, she could not speak for a while. When she did she
said, ‘Chuwei, do you have a fever?’ Why was she saying these cheesy things?
Flick!
‘Ow!’ her forehead was attacked
again, Miaofu grabbed the sore area.
Chuwei sneered, he woman was fine,
it was the cowardly personality she could not stand.
‘Let go of your boring inferiority
complex,’ she said poking Miaofu’s forehead, ‘this old lady does not feel
inferior in this body, why do you have to feel inferior?’ (Zuben: That’s not
exactly true Chuwei with your “why would anybody love a black charcoal like me”
rhetoric)
Damn! She had been so jealous when
she saw Miaofu’s new body being so normal.
Miaofu did not resist her poking,
but laughed sillyly, ‘Chuwei, thank you.’ Thank you for your cheesy words.
Really though! The bullying can
stop now.
Chuwei felt no sense of
accomplishment. She returned the wooden comb to Miaofu and rose slowly, ‘You
think about it yourself. The day after tomorrow, you’re coming with me.’
‘Out of the palace?’ she asked,
‘Where?’
‘A Hao’s father in law is having
his sixtieth birthday. As the elder sister, I have to go with a congratulatory
gift.’
‘But your stomach…?’ Did older
brother agree?
Reading the unspoken question in
her eyes, Chuwei gave her a cold glare and lifted her chin, ‘Why do I need to
have that guy's consent when I want to go out?’
Oh, the Empress is mighty! Miaofu
dared not say anything more.
After Chuwei left, Miaofu’s smiled
fell. Looking down at the comb, she considered Chuwei’s words. She wasn’t
stupid, how could she not know her own heart? Even if she was an optimistic and
cheerful person on the outside, deep in her bones, she felt inferior. She had a been called a comet of bad omen
from childhood, unloved and abandoned, she was like a mouse hiding in the dark
longing for the dazzling sunshine. Though, she said out loud she did not like
dazzling people, she was always attracted to them. But then she felt that such
people could not really like her, so she fled from them. She was timid and felt
inferior. She never dared to fight for what she wanted. She bore loss and pain
silently. When she was hurt, she ran away and hid. When the wound was healed
and no longer hurt, she would put on a happy smile like the bad thing had never
happened.
She was long accustomed to doing
things like this, and she felt nothing. She was strong, this will pass, she
will…for many years, has she not been like this?
Yet…
Looking at the hibiscus carving,
she thought of Xiangcheng, the fireworks that night, his smile…She did not
understand, why was he always on her mind?
Hadn’t she escaped? She had been
hiding for a year, shouldn’t the wounds have healed already?
‘Qin Yaotang…’ she whispered the
name held at the bottom of her heart. Every night, she could not sleep, she held
the comb and sang his name.
It had been a year now, had he
forgotten about her?
Would he be married? With a child?
If so, it was good…she blessed him.
Miaofu smiled and looked at the
wooden comb; a deep sourness hit her heart. It made her uncomfortable.
When would this nasty wound
disappear?
She had chosen to escape; she also
bore the consequences of that.
Miaofu did not want to think about
it anymore. Even if occasionally, there was a hint of regret, she forced it
back down. All was done, regret was pointless. Moreover, she never understood
him, let along knew how he felt about her. Not to mention that he was engaged
to Song Dié-er…after all this time, perhaps she was the only one not
forgetting.
She had been forgotten by him…
‘Miao! Miaomiao!’
Hearing the Chuwei’s voice, Miaofu
opened her eyes slowly. Her face was pale and she blinked, ‘Have we reached Gu
Yunbao?’ she asked, her voice was low and sleepy.
Chuwei frowned and looked worriedly
at her friend, she touched her forehead, ‘You don’t look good, are you ill?’
‘Maybe; I haven’t been able to
sleep this past few days.’ Miaofu replied with a yawn.
Chuwei was about to say something
when the curtain opened and a beautiful boy peered in, ‘Jiejie! Miaomiao!
You’re finally here!’ he said with a bright smile. It made both women
uncomfortable.
It was a real sin for a man to grow
up like this!
Chuwei directly patted his
enchantingly evil face, ‘Go away, don’t block the way.’ If she hadn’t been
pregnant she would have kicked him.
Jiang Yan was used to his older
sister’s violence, so he did not mind her. He quickly helped the old lady with
her big belly down from the carriage, ‘How about brother in law? Is he alright
with you going out alone?’
‘What does it have to do with him?’
she asked contemptuously. Truthfully, Xiahou Yin had not been assured, and he
had sent guards to escort the carriage and there were many hidden guards in the
shadows. If there hadn’t been lots of state business to attend to, Xiahou would
have come out with his wife, but he could not. So he only allowed his Empress
out for ten days, if she did not return by then, he would come and arrest her
in person.
Miaofu also alighted from the
carriage behind Chuwei, she looked about Gu Yunbao curiously. It was a fortress
built with white stone towering amongst the mountains. It was very imposing.
Listening to A Hao, the Gu Yunbao was the biggest fortress in the Wulin; his
wife was the previous Wulin Alliance head. Now her second brother was the current Wulin Alliance head. In short, the
Gu Yunbao was a place where masters gathered. Even a small servant would have
knowledge of martial arts. The most useless person here was Jiang Haocheng.
Lots of people had also come to the
Gu Yunbao to celebrate the birthday of their leader.
‘A Hao, Miaomiao is tired, can you
get someone to take her to rest?’ Chuwei told her brother.
‘Yes!’ he nodded, ‘How about you,
Jiejie? Are you tired? Would you like to rest? I have readied your rooms for
you.’ With her big belly, they must treat the old lady carefully.
‘No need.’ She waved her hand
dismissively, ‘I will greet the in-laws first and congratulate father-in-law.’
Although, the birthday was
tomorrow, her brother was a daughter-in-law, so as his sister, she must be
first with the family greetings.
‘Miaomiao, you go ahead and rest.’
Chuwei said to Miaofu.
Miaofu nodded, she was really
tired. She followed the servant who had been assigned to lead her to their
courtyard.
Knowing the identity of their
visitor, the servant was very deferent to her, ‘Princess, A Hao has arranged
for you and Niangniang to stay in the Bamboo court. It is quiet there, no one
would disturb you.’
Miaofu smiled at her, and looked
about as they went. There was great beauty to the fortress, very different to
the palace. The fortress was very simple and austere without luxury, but not
lacking in taste. She followed the servant across a bridge, past a rockery when
a female voice called out,
‘Yaotang-ge!’
Miaofu was startled and raised her
head subconsciously. The people in the courtyard were walking towards them.
Miaofu eyes clashed with a sharp pair of black eyes. She gasped and her eyes
flashed with horror, the other side looked the same, but his eyes sharpened.
‘Sir, Madam,’ the servant bowed in
respectful greeting to them, ‘This is a guest of the Master.’
As for her identity, the maid did
not have to explain it, knowing that the masters would understand.
‘A Hao’s guest? Would it be…’ the
folk princess? Song Dié-er could not help but look at Miaofu curiously. She
definitely could not be the Empress – who did not know that the Empress was
very dark skinned. The lady before Dié-er was white.
Miaofu nodded in greeting to Song
Dié-er and tried to ignore the sharp eyes of the man beside her.
But bitterness filled her heart,
she noticed the change in Dié-er’s dressing; only married women could dress
like that, and the maid had called her “Madam”.
Sure enough, they were married.
‘I am Song Dié-er, this is…’
‘I’m sorry,’ Miaofu said
interrupting Dié-er, she smiled at her, ‘I am not feeling very well, I would
like to go and rest, if that is alright.’
‘Oh!’ Dié-er exclaimed, she noticed
the Miaofu’s face was rather pale, she did not say more. She turned to the
maid, ‘Qiao-er, please take the princess to rest.’
‘Yes, madam.’ Qiao-er nodded,
‘Princess, let us go.’ She led Miaofu to the bamboo courtyard.
Miaofu kept her head down and
quickly walked by with Qiao-er, she did not dare look at the man. Her heart was
full of panic; did he recognise her?
Impossible, she was not the same as
she was a year ago. He should not have. He was married now, so he would have
forgotten her…
Back in the courtyard, Dié-er
watched the princess go. She frowned for a long while wondering why the woman
looked so familiar. She finally couldn’t help but tug on Yaotang’s sleeves,
‘Hey don’t you think the Princess
looks a bit familiar? I feel like I have seen her somewhere before…’ she
frowned thinking, but she could not think of where she had seen her before.
Yaotang did not reply, just looked
in the direction she had left. His black eyes radiating a sultry coldness.
She had changed.
Her delicate face was now rounded.
Her hair fell down her neck and shoulders and was decorated with jade beads.
The thin fringe made her look more feminine, the high waisted skirt and golden
cloak lent her an air of gracefulness that made people dare not approach.
Yaotang’s eye narrowed as he
sneered; she had thought he would not recognise her?
Princess…he sneered inwardly. So
she had been hiding in the palace.
Could not figure it out corner:
[1] 說真的,當初遇到杜妙芙時,江初薇不是不新奇的。

Thanks TL!
Could not figure it out corner:
ReplyDelete[1] 說真的,當初遇到杜妙芙時,江初薇不是不新奇的。
- Truthfully, back then when (she) met with Du Miaofu, Jiang Chuwei was not unsurprised.
[2] 聽阿昊說,古雲堡是武林第一大堡,他老婆是上任武林盟主,而現任武林盟主則是他的二舅子。
-Hearing from Ah Hao, he said, Gu Yunbao (古堡, gubao= ancient castle) is one of Wulin number one great castle, his wife is the previous Wulin Alliance Head, while the current Wulin Alliance Head is his second brother-in-law (or in this case, wife's second brother, so the guy is probably martial art brother of Ah Hao's wife.).
堡 could be 'castle' or 'fortress' or stronghold.
DeleteSoo exciting!!!
