16 - Yu Yan
after the talk with Bao Shīzi, Yo Huiyin told him about her plan to leave immediately and head to the Opolice city
Bao Shīzi after hearing her speak he decided to tag along, after all she is after all the empress, his master, and the place they where she plans to go to is a place full of crimes. if he tags along she'll be ensured within his safe protection.
the latter didn't care whether he will come or not, But still would make a great addition to her course of action, After all she wasn't very skilled in martial arts and she can only depend on the tiny skills she learned from watching her comrades that were skilled, and ofcoarse luck. she could take them down by needles and ucupuncture to their vital parts to make them unconscious or unable to move but that would not always go well. can't pull the same trick twice.
without arguing over his decision she waited for him outside the cottage that she was once held in.
it was a cottage by a clear lake and the land that surrounded the house and lake were tall bamboo trees, the place was exquisite and has a refreshing feel. she dreamt of living beside a lake or ocean aswell after this plan of hers was over, if she had finally avenged Yo Huiyin, herself currently.
"Empress..?" Looking back at the very beautiful man she glared at him.
"I told you to don't call me that. it feels all to wrong to me." she sighed and watched the sunset over the horizon with a complicated look in her eyes
"My apologies, it is just your rightful tittle I get lost on which to call you."
she glanced at the water seeing her reflection "Right now Yo Huiyin had passed away back at Lóng City. Therefore in the meantime, while my plan is still in progress Yo Huiyin will not be my name.."
"Yu Yan..." Yo Huiyin looked back at the man, The slight breeze of cool air fluttered his light blue robe, His air adding the smile in his face made it all to beautiful and majestic "means beautiful smiles..."
"Yu Yan..." a smile crept on Yo Huiyin's face.
it was a perfect name, It rolled just right on her tongue she glanced back at the man and nodded
"Then from now on I shall be called Yu Yan." they both smiled at each other, the both beautiful youth standing just a few feet from each other with smiles on their faces made the scenery more majestic, It was a sight to behold indeed
but who knows that once heart thumped at the sight of the person in front of him, Thinking it was just the effects of the empress's presence he brushed it off.

"Ugh!" within the Yo Manor A certain 15 year old girl slid off all the precious jewelry, tea cups and vases to smash loudly on the ground, 5 maids kneeled outside her door scared they'd be next for their mistress to relieve her anger
"she can't die! I need her to see me have what she can't! it's not fair! this is not fair! no no no!" she threw another box of expensive jewelry into the ground breaking the box and scattering Pearl's and jade items "Yo Huiyin! You've always had the people's praise before while I stood on the sidelines, now that You're useless you immediately killed yourself so you wouldn't be able to see me grow?! how dare you!" she grabbed the last box she saw and was about to smash it too, she stopped.
"Leave..." she told the maids who kneeled shaking "I said leave!" she yelled making them scurry hastily afraid of her hostility
she took a long breath and sat on her canopy bed, she stared at the small box infront of her clenching it tightly, tears ran down her face "I hate you... I hate you so so much..."
"Yo Feng" a stern motherly voice called out to her she glanced infront of her and noticed a woman in her late 20's with her eyes slanted at her
"Mother..." Her mother walked closer to the young girl looking at her up and down she grabbed the box out of her hands glared at her
"I told you to dispose of this... Dispose of those feelings.. you're my daughter and you should do as I say. since you've disobeyed me I will dispose of this myself and you are to embroider until I come back." The young girl clenched her teeth and hands looking at the box in her mothers hand she nodded
Yo Ichen, Her mother began walking out of her daughters room, Once outside Yo Ichen opened the box, her eyes held anger as she stared at the jade miniture sculpture of two young girls. taking it out of the box she read the silver plate connected below the two Girls 'Yo huiyin And Yo Feng'
her eyes shaking and dimming she glanced back at her daughters room and smashed the Jade Miniture sculpture to the ground smashing it to pieces before throwing the box aswell and leaving in a lady like manner although her steps were furious like the feeling in her heart
