CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

651 Old Friend

“Oh, hehe, this is Xiao Ye’s seat, he is our son, and now he is still in the forest looking for medicinal leaves with our other servant A San. He should be back in a while, he used to be back by sunset,” said old man Wang.

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, he was also not that curious. Judging from his demeanour and the energy of the people in front of him, they were just ordinary citizens with no martial skills or internal strength. Maybe they really are just ordinary farmers.

Night’s getting late. Luo Xiang and Bai Ying had already occupied Old Man Wang’s back bungalow which was unexpectedly quite comfortable for them to live in.

A clean bed with thick blankets and it smells good, obviously maybe because it was cleaned and cared for by the woman who owns the house carefully.

Luo Xiang helped Bai Ying remove his top clothes. Checking the sword-cut wound on the young man’s arm. Bai Ying moaned slightly as Luo Xiang took off the soiled bandages and was about to replace them with new ones.

“Ah, it hurts Your Highness”

Luo Xiang tried to be gentle, even though he never really taking care of people before.

It was said that the old man Wang’s only son was a talented healer, maybe he could help them, but, until the moment they waited earlier the owner’s son had not returned.

“It’s getting better Ying, don’t move your hands a lot first or the wound will reopen,” said the Crown Prince.

.....

Bai Ying pursed his mouth.

“Well, what should we do, Your Majesty? Why is it taking so long for such a small wound to heal? Ying is such a lame, with this how can we find the King, um, I mean Prince Yen Hui”

Luo Xiang cleaned the sword wound with a clean cloth that he had soaked in hot water, at least it should be cleaned before bandaging it again.

“We will find him, Ying, just need to wait for the others to arrive.”

Bai Ying nodded. While the two of them were talking there was a soft knock on the door.

“Excuse me, Young Master, did Young Master was looking for me?”

Luo Xiang turned his head, was it Old Man Wang’s son they’d been waiting for? Luo Xiang glanced at Bai Ying whose clothes were parted to reveal his upper body. He move forward and helped the young man put his clothes back on.

“Who is that, Your Highness?” Bai Ying asked.

Luo Xiang thought for a while, he didn’t feel any bad energy from the man who was already standing at the door. After confirming that Bai Ying’s clothes were covered, Luo Xiang got up and approached the door.

Slowly he opened the door, and see a tall, thin figure already standing in front of him holding a medium-sized box in one hand. The Crown Prince widened his eyes seeing the young man who was smiling at him.

“Greetings, Young Master, I heard from my father, if Young Master needs me, is anyone injured?” he asked.

Luo Xiang nodded and stood for a while looking at the young man until finally, he widened the door to let him in.

Bai Ying who was already sitting on the edge of his bed smiled widely to see who was approaching.

“Eh Your Highness, is this … uh” but he paused, looking at the handsome young man standing in front of him, he recognized that face, recognized him very well, is he, Ye Lu?

“Brother Ye Lu?” he asked.

It didn’t take long.

The young man, the son of the house owner Xiao Ye was already sitting at the edge of the bed treating Bai Ying’s arm. His hands were very painstaking, and in a short time, Bai Ying no longer felt any pain in his wound. He really knows what he’s doing. Xiao Ye raised his head and found Bai Ying looking at him with his pair of big round eyes. As if he observing him.

Xiao Ye was nervous, he didn’t expect that the guests his father said were travellers were actually two very handsome young men. The two appearances were far from just ordinary people.

And the young man who was now looking at him had eyes with a very beautiful glow that seemed to keep pulling him to get closer to him. However, another young man who was standing not far in front of them saw him with sharp eyes, as if watching his every move, every little of it.

After treating him, the young man glanced at Bai Ying, and then at Luo Xiang.

“Eh, the wound isn’t that bad, tomorrow it will dry up and close perfectly. Here is a pain reliever that you can take before going to bed, it can also calm the body and also help you to sleep.”

Luo Xiang straightened up, even though he didn’t feel any internal strength from the young man whose face closely resembled Ye Lu but he felt a subtle vibration from him. And it’s annoyed him to think the young man might hiding something.

“Who are you? What is your relationship with Du Gu Ye Hua?” he asked.

The young man put his medicine bottle back into the box. Lifting his head when he realized the handsome young man in front of him looked at him for a long time as if waiting for a response from him. He frowned.

“Er, who do you mean Young Master?” he asked.

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying. Indeed, in this era, Great General Du Gu’s age was still in his early twenties, twenty-three to twenty-five. And looking at the young man’s face, this, as well as the woman who was none other than his mother, was most likely related to the Du Gu family they knew. But, was Du Gu Ye Hua once a commoner? That’s what they didn’t know before.

Luo Xiang drew closer. Looked at the young man’s face for a moment, then suddenly raised the young man’s hand. Grab his wrist tightly.

“Ah, Young Master, what are you doing?” the young man whimpered.

Luo Xiang looked at Xiao Ye’s face which looked really groaning in pain.

“You were gifted with healing powers when you were twenty years old, just like the other pillars of Wah Ye, this is really you, isn’t it Du Gu Ye Hua? Wait, you may not have that title right now, but you will soon. Why don’t you use your healing power to treat my brother now? What are you waiting for?” said Luo Xiang.

Xiao Ye tried to free his hand from the Crown Prince’s grip it was hanging tightly enough to hurt him.

“Eh, Young Master, I really don’t understand what you mean”

Luo Xiang finally let go of his grip on the young man and pushing him away from the bed and slamming him onto the chair.

Brukk.

The young man winced and fell on a chair which was instantly wrecked by the Crown Prince’s energy pressure. He held his waist which was in excruciating pain and stared at the Crown Prince with sharp eyes.

“Young Master, what have I done wrong? I helped to treat your brother, please forgive me if I might have offended you”

Luo Xiang rolled up his sleeves and put his hands behind his waist, looking at the young man trying to get up from a rather painful fall, it seemed that he had gone a bit too far.

“Heh, my strength is too much I guess.”

“Your Majesty”

Bai Ying pursed his lips seeing the Crown Prince’s usual overly hasty attitude. He got up from where he was and helped the young man Xiao Ye up from the fall and sat down on one of the chairs that were still intact.

“Young Master, please forgive my brother, he is indeed a bit excessive, are you alright?” he asked.

Xiao Ye nodded. Even though he didn’t know what possessed the young man earlier to attack him, he couldn’t get angry when he saw the sweet and beautiful face of the young man who was now holding his hand. His soft and warm grip on his hand.

Luo Xiang pulled his lips. Seeing every move of Bai Ying’s hand holding the young man’s arm lasted more than a few blinks of an eye. Finally, he stepped forward and grabbed Bai Ying’s hand.

“My dear Ying Ying, are you going to hold him like that?”

Bai Ying widened his eyes, he had forgotten what he had just done. Immediately he released his grip on the young man.

“Eh yeah, Your Highness” he had forgotten that the Crown Prince could be very angry because he held other people for too long.

“Just let him stand alone, don’t let your wounds open again from moving too much”

“But Your Highness, Your Highness shouldn’t hit him like that, instead we should have thanked him because he treats my wound. What are you doing?”

The young man looked at Bai Ying and Luo Xiang and felt something strange in his hand after the young man touched it just now. Something warm wrapped his palm, what happened?
