CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 15: The Attack

“YingYing!”

BeiYau and his guard on all eyes wide open, as predicted the attack occurs, they pulled out their weapons and sword dispel the arrows attacks flying towards them from the upper ground.

LuoXiang ducked while protecting BaiYing in his arms, BaiYing even did not digest what happened since it was too fast, but it seemed that the Crown Prince and his men all prepared for the situation.

“Let’s go!” LuoXiang held BaiYing’s hand tightly as they ran to the big tree not far behind them, at least BaiYing is safe.

Both ducked behind BeiYau protection while he was busy distracting the flying arrow.

After securing behind the big tree, LuoXiang holds Baiying cold hands, whether it’s because he’s too scared or it’s just because of the cold.

“We’re safe here, don’t go anywhere”

.....

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau, don’t know what instruction he got but BeiYau raises his hand after that, BaiYing lowered his head down trying to make himself as small as he can so the enemy won’t find him and LuoXiang there, at least that what he can do now, this is so dangerous, what it’s should happen on they casual walk?

After a while BaiYing heard the sound of whistling, he turned his head on BeiYau who swayed his sword up to his head while looking at the cliffs and it didn’t take long for the attacks to stop, they even can hear moans and groans coming from some of the attackers.

BaiYing swallows his saliva around, it’s so fast and the attacks stopped, do they really safe now?

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau to make sure the situation’s under control so he could grab BaiYing’s hand and step out of the tree.

That young man still can see at the cliffs where the royal troop already arrived and caught some of the attackers in blacks.

“Kneel!!”

The guard with a big figure and royal golden armor examined while holding tight some of the attackers, even from the distance somehow BaiYing felt the man in custody stared at him sharply.

LuoXiang holds BaiYing’s hand and walks away.

“Come on YingYing, we get back to the palace, your hand is cold”

The incident happens too fast, can’t be caught up by BaiYing even he experienced it by himself just now, especially the part when the royal troops come in times, as everything was planned before, the young man just follow the leads of LuoXiang who hold his hand so tight.

...

BaiYing rooms.

Sound of gurgling water on the basin, LuoXiang took a soaked towel from the hot water and squeezed it until it didn’t drip. Gently he used it to wash BaiYing neck who was very hot because of his fever, his fault who asked BaiYing out to the valley while he was still not in full recovery yet and cause him to have a fever now.

As a very respectable Crown Prince, he shouldn’t have to do such a thing like serve other people instead of being served, but for BaiYing, he is willing to do everything.

BaiYing held LuoXiang’s hands that tucked a warm towel on his chest behind his clothes.

“Your Highness just let me do it myself, Your highness is also tired just go back to your room and have a rest, my maids can help me to wash” BaiYing talks in a weak and hoarse voice.

LuoXiang lowered BaiYing’s hand, the young man’s face was all red because of the heat of his fever.

“How can that happen YingYing, you want them to find out that you’re a boy instead of a pretty young girl as they already knew all this time?”

BaiYing smiled. LuoXiang took his hands and washed them with a warm cloth.

“Hehe yeah, if they’re found out they will be shocked, Yan and Bi are two sweet and cute maids, they take care of me with all of their heart and didn’t complain even they’re tired, I just felt guilty because I lied with them, hemmh, if I get out from this palace, do they still can work here? They seem so happy with what they doing”

LuoXiang stopped his hands while gazing at BaiYing red and drunk face because of his fever, red cheeks, pale white skin, and cold palms even when he already rubbed it many times.

LuoXiang stroke BaiYing bangs which soaked because of his cold sweat.

“Your Highness” BaiYing hoarse voice.

“Yes’ LuoXiang replied gently.

In half-conscious because of his fever after drinking medicine from a physician makes BaiYing so sleepy.

“Did, Your Highness really like me? I mean it’s impossible, right? You must be only teasing me, I know you like to tease me, Servant, just only to wish to go back home, please let me go, but, please don’t cut my family heads off, they all innocent, instead, just take my head”

LuoXiang smiles after listening to BaiYing innocent cute words and was just about to react but he stopped when he saw that young man already closing his eyes and quickly just pass out.

That Crown Prince just stroked BaiYing’s hairs gently and wiped cold sweat with a towel in his hand, and slowly lifted his body up and kissed the young man’s forehead.

“Heh, how can I do that YingYing? you don’t know, how much that I fell in love with you, since a long time ago”

LuoXiang whispered and kissed BaiYing’s forehead and cheeks, raise his head to see the young man’s gentle face, smiles, and lower back his head to again kiss his soft lips.

“Chup”

.....

Morning comes.

BaiYing’s eyes flickered several times, and his gaze gradually became clearer.

The feeling is so bad, his back is still a little bit wet because of his own sweat last night, his head is heavy, his chest hurt, why does he have to be so unlucky? Since becoming a fake concubine he didn’t remember how many times he almost lost his life either being poisoned or getting caught in the middle of cross arrows attacks, he even didn’t have the energy to escape, he passed out as soon as he reaches the front wall, he’s so lame.

BaiYing pulled his legs slowly with all the strength he had and sit, the weather was so pretty out there, he thought about going outside to breathe the fresh air. Maybe because recently he lacked exercise being too comfortably act as a Fake Concubine, he needs to gather up all his strength.

Just when he sat already, his two young maids appeared from the door, BaiYing eyes wide open, oh no, he’s not wearing any chest patch, his clothes parted last night because of his fever, but fortunately it’s all neat now, maybe the Crown Prince helped him dress up.

“Your Majesty you wake up” those two young maids lowered down their knees, Bi with a large basin of warm water and put it down on the table, and Yan who took a tray with a bowl of porridge and a small bowl of hot steamed medicine on it.

“You guys”

“Please forgive us, Your Majesty, according to Crown Prince we can’t disturb your sleep so we just wait until Your Majesty is wake up to enter now,” Said Yan while lowering her head down,

BaiYing smiles, those two young maids are so cute.

“So you guys just waited at the door this morning?”

The maids nodded at the same time.

“Yes Your Majesty”

BaiYing held back his laughter, suddenly his headache subsided after seeing those two innocent maids’ faces.

“Hehehe you guys”

BaiYing tugged his waist.

“Ahh today’s weather is so pretty, how about we go outside and enjoy the fresh air?”

The maids glance at each other.

“But Your Majesty, Crown Price said..” Yan’s voice stopped.

BaiYing understood how these two maids only followed orders from the Crown Prince to not let him out of the palace with his condition now.

“Heh you guys, okay right then, how about if we visited Crown Prince Workroom, I wonder what he doing there being so busy almost every day”

Both maids raised their heads and shook their heads quickly.

“No Your Majesty, no one is allowed to go there”
