**CHAPTER 14**

~A.N.~

I made Zhen Ji here in my story a little bit of being an antagonist. No hard feelings for those fans of Zhen Ji ok… After all I do like her; it's just that I want Cao Pi only to myself. Fufufu…(:3)

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Cao Pi is in his desk reading scrolls and books about battle strategy when his wife Zhen Ji suddenly enters his room. From the way Zhen Ji looks at Cao Pi, it's like she wants to learn a truth about something.

When he notices this, he stops reading and ask, "Is there something wrong Zhen Ji?"

"I heard rumors about you bringing a servant here in your quarters and make love with her. Is that true?"

Cao Pi sighs and then takes a sip of his tea to compose himself. He then said, "Is there something bad about it?"

"Yes! Cao Pi I don't mind you having different women but a servant? I rather want you to have sex with any noble women but not a servant! Think about your position, you're a prince and the next in line in your father and yet you slept with a servant?"She said to him. Zhen Ji is so annoyed by that idea.

"Zhen Ji, it's not like I want her, I just you her ok. I am not lowering myself just to touch a mere servant like her, so please can we stop this conversation?"

"Very well then." She then goes besides him and kiss him passionately. Cao Pi reply back from her kiss as he put his right hand on her cheeks.

Zhen Ji broke the kiss and said, "I need to go now, there's something I need to do."

He just nods his head and returns to read again. Zhen Ji goes to the direction of the servant quarters after she leaves the room of Cao Pi. She wants to punish that servant because of what she's done.

Ming Yi is cleaning the corridors of the palace when she sees Lady Zhen Ji approach her. She bows her head at the woman who is now standing beside her.

"Are you Ming Yi?" Zhen Ji asks her.

"Yes I am Lady Zhen Ji." She said still bowing at her.

"So you're the one whom I heard about. You've got guts even though you're just a commoner." She said as she smirks at Ming Yi.

Ming Yi is confused. "What is Lady Zhen Ji talking about?"

Zhen Ji continues, "I don't want you to go near Lord Cao Pi anymore, you're disgusting!"

"Pardon?"

"Don't act that you didn't know you slut! Did you think that even though Lord Cao Pi touches you he already has feeling for you? You are just a COMMONER! You don't deserve to be touch by us nobles! You are born in this world to be just servants for us nobles, so don't think highly of yourself! You will never be like us, remember that!" she said at her while pointing her right index finger at Ming Yi.

After that she leaves the shock Ming Yi alone. She can't believe what has just happen. She then decides to forget that incident and focus on her work, by cleaning the corridors. But she can't, it keeps repeating in her mind. Just after she finishes cleaning the corridors, she now goes to the servant quarters to rest. But she notices that everyone is avoiding her and they whisper at each other.

Ming Yi is confused again, "Now what is going on around here?" She looks for Koi Feng to ask him if there is something she doesn't know.

When she sees him cutting some leaves in a bush, she approach him and ask, "Umm… Koi Feng may I ask you something?"

He look at her and said, "Oh course, what is it Ming Yi?"

"Is there something that I still don't know?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Umm… You see every time I pass by to the other servants they always whisper something and they always avoiding me."

"Oh, so you still don't know?"

"About what?"

Koi Feng stops what his doing and said, "There are rumors floating around that you have slept with Lord Cao Pi."

"Is it true?" he asks her.

"I-I…yes"

"I can't believe it! How come you slept with Lord Cao Pi?"

"I-I don't know… When he's near me I felt that I am so weak that I just can't refuse his orders."

"Ming Yi… Even though you are a servant, you will still be a woman. You must take care and don't let anyone destroy your dignity as a person." He said to her.

"Ok… Thank you Koi Feng, I'm glad that you've understand."

"We are friends after all right? Besides I know some women too that's been abused by the nobles that's why I don't want you to experience that."

"I see… Wait, abused by nobles?"

"Yes… Many servants were sexually abused by the nobles, and most of them were women. They have sex with these women but then after they used their body, they will just throw them away like a rag. Some women used their body to sell themselves to the nobles just to earn money for their family. So the delicate bodies of these poor women were just shattered by the nobles."

Ming Yi never knew about this. That just to earn money to buy food for their poor families, some women sell themselves.

"How did you know this Koi Feng?"

He is silent, his eyes are already filled with tears but he doesn't let it fall from his eyes. He is staying to be strong as he said, "My older sister was one of those women, and she sells herself just to have money for our family. And after that I never see her again, I just heard that she killed herself because of the trauma she's experienced."

Ming Yi loss words to say anything, she just go near him and touch his hands.

Koi Feng smiles at her and said, "You are like a family to me Ming Yi, that's why I don't want that to happen to you. Please be more careful ok?"

"I will Koi Feng, I will."
