The Fallen Consort

"Hehe.. old tree.. I almost thought you grew more height. Looks like you didn't". Jin Minzhe teased Linyu. He was quite happy knowing that he found what he was looking for. If only he could get in touch with his father now, then everything would be solved.

"Tsk.. You brat! What are you doing here? Are you bothering my master?!" Linyu was sweating. He needs to distract and send away this brat in front of him, or else bad things will happen to him!

"I'm looking for my father and you came in here to prove my identity." Jin Minzhe sipped his tea. He didn't see any harm on revealing his identity, since it was Linyu's master. Anyone who can pass his father's judgement was not an enemy in his eyes.

Linyu choked on his own spit. This godforsaken brat is trying to kill him! He looked at Yi Ling, too bad he couldn't see her face. Her emotions was too calm for him to read it!

"Well? Is it true that he is Mu Xin son?" Yi Ling looked at the tensed Linyu.

Linyu sighed. He was really trapped. If only Mu Xin was here. But then if Mu Xin is here, he'll probably throw a fit that would cause Yi Ling suspicious. That wouldn't end up good either.

"Yes, he is Mu Xin's son." Linyu bowed to his master. Sooner or later, Yi Ling would know anyways.

Yi Ling's brows furrowed. How could that be? He was imprisoned for more than a million years! Mu Xin was too mysterious for her. He was so powerful but still ended up being imprisoned. She even dared think that maybe, just maybe. Mu Xin and King Jin was at the same power level.

"I told you that I was telling you the truth. I followed you here because I sense the Sapphire Jade Ring." Jin Minzhe said proudly. He crossed his arms while looking at Yi Ling.

"Now, its your turn. Who are you?". Jin Minzhe was curious to know the person in front of him as well.

Yi Ling felt like hiding her identity, but then if he was Mu Xin's son and Linyu seems to be okay with him. It should be okay to reveal it right? She rubbed her chin and slowly grabbed her mask.

As she slowly lift it up, Linyu was panicking deep inside. Please, pleaseeee.. Remember what your father's words.. He looked at Jin Minzhe and then Yi Ling.

When Yi Ling got his masked off, Jin Minzhe gasped. What he thought was a young man, was a very breathtaking young woman. Her eyes was shining like the stars, her nose was cute, her lips was red and complexion was like a porcelain. What shocked him more was that , it was a younger version of the woman in his father's study.

As he was studying the woman sitting in front of him, teardrops fell front his eyes. The same pain she felt 6 years ago, in the river where he accidentally saw her. Jin Minzhe's eyes were starting to get redder, but he didn't seem to notice the tears going down in his face. There was pain and sadness in his eyes.

He almost blurted it out loud, but then he remembered his father's words. He closed his eyes as he tried to endure the pain. Jin Minzhe unconsciously clenched his ċhėst, it was so painful to see his mother again. But the fact remains that she won't remember him as her son and that he caused her death.

Jin Minzhe stood up and walk around the table, in front of Yi Ling. Yi Ling didn't know what happened, the man in front of her started crying. She felt a sense of grief as well, but she brushed it off thinking maybe she just felt sad for him. To whatever he was going through.
