CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

666 The Ancestor

Of course, his answer made Chen Ming even angrier.

“Damn you! How could you not have an antidote? Quickly give it to me!”

He would have hit the man again if it wasn’t for Bei Yau holding him back.

“Prince, calm down, you can kill him”

“Then why if I kill him, he deserves to be killed!” Chen Ming shouted about kicking the man again. But this time Xiao Hong pulled Chen Ming’s waist away.

“Prince, please calm down”

Luo Xiang hugged the unconscious Bai Ying tightly. Putting his chin on Bai Ying’s hot forehead made his face turn red, and his breathing sounded so heavy as the heat keep rising from the poison’s effect. He then looked at young man Wang sharply.

“You are Du Gu Ye Hua, there’s no way you don’t have an antidote, if something bad happens to Ying Ying, you will beg me to kill you,” Luo Xiang said in a sharp tone.

Young Man Wang looked at Bai Ying’s unconscious face. A face that he last remembered smiled so sweetly like the bright sun at noon when he left his village. A face he could never forget.

.....

Young Man Wang looked at his two palms, which sometime after meeting the two youths were capable of emitting a strange greenish smoke, which could kill instantly, and also, save.

“I don’t have the antidote, but, I might be able to do something else to save Young Master Hua.”

The sky calmed down. The rain slowly finally subsided and left only the remnants on the roof and the trees around it. Residents back to the streets to continue their daily activities, either for selling or shopping.

The young man Luo Wang was standing in front of the balcony of his room. Looking at the surroundings even further ahead where the strange attack just now had almost ravaged the Pai Hua forest and destroyed some of the tallest trees that had grown thickly for decades in an instant. He was on his mind thinking so hard, how can the weird things keep happening lately here?

The sound of the door being opened from outside makes him turn his head. A young man come in, with a sweet face, pale white skin and curly light brown hair that waved lightly as he stepped inside. Luo Wang turned his head to see the young man come in carrying a bowl of water that looked a bit hot with smoke still billowing.

“Brother!” the young man shouted.

“Brother, what are you doing? Why did you bring the water basin? Oh, isn’t it hot?” said Luo Wang limping over to Yen Hui who had already placed the basin of water on the table. He took Yen Hui’s soft hand and take a look at it.

“Let me see your hand, looks, it’s red like this”

Yen Hui smiled. The young man whose age might not be much different from Bai Ying had the same exact smile as Bai Ying’s, they were very similar.

“Hehehe this brother is too much, I’m fine, it’s just water, besides, the servants is busy serving the injured young man on the second floor, it seems that his injury is quite serious. Instead of waiting for a long time I just brought my own basin. Come here Brother, let me see your leg” Yen Hui said holding Luo Wang’s hand and helping him sit on the bed and lifting his injured leg onto the bed. Luo Wang groaned slightly as the young man’s soft hand touched his ankle which was bruised until it turned blue.

“Akh, slowly Brother, really unlucky, how can we meet with that strange person? Without any warning randomly attacking people”

While he was grumbling, Yen Hui laughed sweetly.

“Hehehe, but we are lucky, brother, those youths come on time to save everyone. They’re so great. Where do you think they come from? Like not someone from Wah Ye, but not from Yue Yang either. Erm, could it be from Kili? But no, their skin is white. That young man has a very sweet face, um, don’t you think that he looks like me?” asked Yen Hui as he applied the medicine to the bruised on Luo Wang’s leg.

Luo Wang frowned.

“Um, who?”

“Who else, young man who protects Brother from the smoke attack, you know”

Luo Wang thought, actually, he did look at the young man’s face from a very close distance. At first glance, he and Yen Hui are indeed similar, in facial expressions and the look in his eyes.

Remembering very clearly when the young man suddenly appeared in front of him and pushed so hard to fall on him. He held his warm body with a sweet smell that he could never forget. The smell seemed to be left in his palms.

Yen Hui frowned looking at Luo Wang who kept looking at his palms.

“Um, did brother’s hand hurt too?” he asked.

Luo Wang raised his head as if waking from his reverie. He shook his head quickly.

“Eh, It-it’s okay Brother, just a little numb earlier. Then how about you? Brother is too busy concerned about others and didn’t pay attention to you, is there any part of your body that hurts?” Luo Wang asked while checking on Yen Hui’s hands and body.

Yen Hui smiled. He shook his head.

“Hehe I’m fine brother, those people protect us very well. I’m not hurt at all.”

“Are you sure? Here let me look at your face” Luo Wang said holding Yen Hui’s cheeks with his wide palms. Yen Hui chuckled at Luo Wang’s exaggerated attitude.

“Hehehe brother, stop already”

...

Dusk. The sky of Pai Hua city darkened rapidly. It was seen that several residents who were going to visit the brothel were confused to see that the two-story building which was usually full of bright lanterns on each floor now looked dark and very calm. There is a big tall guard standing at the door.

“Why It’s not open yet?” asked a richly dressed man who had come with some of his friends. The large doorman nodded his head politely.

“Pardon us, we’re closed for a few days, due to an incident this afternoon all restaurants and entertainment houses will close early. We are also repairing a room that was damaged by the incident, please understand, please come again another time,” said the tall guard, almost as high as the door.

The merchants nodded. It was not strange considering the chaos earlier this afternoon, they nodded and walked away.

“That’s true, what happened this afternoon was very strange, why suddenly something like that happened?”

“Yeah, that’s terrible, we better buy wine and drink it at home”

Soldiers were seen passing by in almost every corner, not as usual.

“Yeah that sounds like a great idea”

.....

By morning.

The atmosphere of the room is very calm. Luo Xiang sat on the edge of the bed lifting Bai Ying’s blanket over his chest. Everyone had returned to their respective rooms, leaving Luo Xiang and Bai Ying alone in the room.

Bai Ying opened his eyes when he felt the touch of Luo Xiang’s hand on his cheek. Wishfully widened his eyes seeing the Crown Prince’s face for a long time.

Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang smiled. He caressed Bai Ying’s forehead, lifted his body up and kissed it.

“You’re awake, how are you feeling?” asked Luo Xiang.

Bai Ying thought for a while, thinking about what should he feel after the attack, and even lowered his blanket to check his own body.

“Em, it doesn’t hurt anymore Your Majesty, em, was I just dreaming huh?” he asked.

Luo Xiang smiles.

“Hehe of course not, this brat, you almost lost your life, why are you throwing your body to protect a stranger like that, don’t do it again next time, I won’t let you”

Bai Ying looked at the frowning face of the Crown Prince. He smiled as he held Luo Xiang’s hand holding his hand.

“Of course, I have to do it, Your Majesty, if he is not there, how can there be Your Highness? He is Your Majesty’s biological grandfather right?”

Bai Ying’s words made Luo Xiang realize, it is true. He never thought of getting there. Well, he didn’t want to care about it, in his eyes was only Bai Ying, his love.

“Well whatever it is, next time let brother do it, don’t hurt yourself again like that”

Bai Ying pulled his lips together, he nodded slowly seeing Luo Xiang’s sharp gaze on him, quite frightening.

“Yes Your Highness, please forgive me”

Bai Ying looked around the room, there was no one else there besides the two of them. Slowly holding on to the Crown Prince, Bai Ying pulled himself up and sat up.

“Um, then, where are they now, Your Highness? His Highness Emperor Luo Wang and Prince Yen Hui, then, um, what about the black-clad youth? Your Highness didn’t kill him, did you?” he asked.

“Should I kill him? You forget that we can’t change history, killing that person could destroy this country before it can rise again.”

The Crown Prince’s words made Bai Ying questionable, he really didn’t know that the young man who caused such a mess that almost killed him was one of the pillars of the great palace of Wah Ye.
