CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

696 Something coming

There was silence for a moment until the sound of another loud laugh came from within the hall.

“Hahahaha, hahaha, of course, sweet child, this Queen has indeed been waiting for your presence for a long time, come on dear, come meet this Queen, come, let this old Queen see the face of this sweet child who is too dear to miss”

Bai Ying was about to step forward. Luo Xiang and Chen Ming tried to stop him but look like the young man had made up his mind, he was about to go forward when a scream from behind stopped him in his foot.

“Brother Ying, stop there!” Yen Hui’s voice had approached from behind along with many other Wah Ye troops. Luo Wang followed right behind him.

“Eh, Grandfa..eh, Prince Yen Hui”

Yen Hui approached. Grabbed Bai Ying’s hand and held him tightly so he wouldn’t go anywhere. His eyes keenly scanned the eagle hall with so many black and white-clad people holding their hostages, even someone he knew very well was among them. The good friend he had never had a chance to get in close to, was the young Shaman, Shin Mu Lei.

Yen Hui looked radiant, even though he was just a weak Prince who could barely fight due to his health condition, but the look in his eyes was sharp as if he had gained all the confidence he had been missing.

“Just surrender, all of you, you are all surrounded, we have taken over this palace and the King will return to rule, Empress Yu Yan is just using you. Anyone still on the Queen’s side at this time will receive the death penalty for defecting, and, I will spare, anyone who surrenders!” he exclaimed.

His voice was loud and loud enough to make all the people dressed in black who were lined up in front of the Eagle hall glance at each other right now. Everyone looked a little doubtful. But Empress Yu Yan’s loud voice sounded clear again.

.....

“Hahaha based on what? You, a Prince who will die soon with a fatal disease in your body?”

Empress Yu Yan’s voice shocked everyone, except for Bai Ying and the others.

Luo Wang and General Lu San looked at Yen Hui. Luo Wang pulled Yen Hui’s hand.

“Hui er, what does that mean? What does she mean by the fatal disease you have?” he asked.

Yen Hui did not answer. He only looked at Luo Wang for a moment then returned his gaze to the hall, still holding onto Bai Ying’s hand to keep the young man from walking away from him.

“We will talk about it later, Brother, right now there are things that are far more important,” said Yen Hui, he was just about to step into the hall when Queen Yu Yan’s voice was heard again.

“I can make the curse end, at least you will live until you are forty years old, or even more, you just need to obey me, sweet child” the Queen’s words made Yen Hui stop his steps, and her words made him a bit hesitate.

Luo Wang held Yen Hui’s hand, stopping him from going any further.

“Hui er”

Everyone fell silent. Waiting to see what Yen Hui will do next. The young prince stayed where he was for a moment until he finally continued his steps and stopped in front of the men in black who were holding swords aimed at each of the young Shaman’s necks. He stared at them intently, one by one.

“If you still want to live, leave this place, if not, mark my word, I, Prince Yen Hui will not hesitate to sentence you to death without mercy,” said Yen Hui in a flat and cold voice.

The black-clothed people looked at each other, but they didn’t have much time to think because in an instant Xiao Hong’s crimson flames attacked them, and a surge of yellow, Shin Ya’s protective energy to block them from the Shamans and causing them all to be pushed back far.

“Ah!”

Yen Hui widened his eyes, and so did Bai Ying who was behind Yen Hui. He turned around and found the Crown Prince and the others had already charged into the hall without waiting for the two, even including Luo Wang who had unhesitatingly charged into the hall.

Shin Ya opened his two palms spreading his protective energy toward Shin Mu Lei and the others. Grabbed the young Shaman’s hand and attacked the men in black who were still confused in their places, though in the end, they had no other choice but to surrender. Those who still dare to attack will be killed on the spot by a slash of the long sword belonging to General Lu San and Fu Yi’s men.

Everyone rushed into the hall where the Queen was waiting in her wide chair. Smiling broadly at her guests that day.

“Hey, you guys, I have even haven’t invited you guys to come in, what a rude,” said the Queen.

Luo Xiang and the others stopped, inside the hall alone there were many other hostages, the palace families, from the concubines to their children. Uncles, aunts to ministers, and royal elders. After Yen Hui thought about where all those people were when the palace was attacked like this. Each of the young women in black clothes that covered their heads stood behind the concubines and their children. Including among them Prince Fang Li who was lying on the floor with a body covered in blood. Yen Hui’s eyes widened, he was about to meet Fang Li but Luo Wang’s hand held him down.

“Brother!”

“Hui er, don’t”

Yen Hui clenched his fists, how could the Queen kill her own biological child?

“What have you done? Brother Fang Li is your son, why did you kill him too?” shouted Yen Hui holding back tears.

Even though his brother often bullied him, he didn’t expect him to just die in such a sad way. His eyes hadn’t even closed tightly, the same death as one of the Divine Shaman’s members who was thrown out earlier, did the woman also take his heart? Of course, everyone could still see her bloody hand and still managed to lick it.

Empress Yu Yan laughed. She laughed so hard even though everyone there was looking at him with sharp eyes.

“You think I care about him? He is a stupid child who is not even worthy of being my child, I, Empress Yu Yan can’t possibly have such a stupid child, he would not even kill those crybaby little ones and tremble. He’s a really stupid kid.”

Empress Yu Yan turned to her rear where an even more terrifying sight was clearly visible. Only then did Yen Hui and the others widen their eyes.

Bai Ying covered his mouth, unable to hold back the tears that immediately fell from his eyes which were wide open.

“Oh no,” the bodies of the little children, who were probably no more than ten years old, including the princes and the little maids. Just splattered full of blood on the floor. Their moms just watched fearfully unable to even speak in shock.

“Oh, Your Highness” Bai Ying gripped Luo Xiang’s sleeve tightly.

Yen Hui too, swallowed his saliva trying to stay calm even though his heart was almost bursting with anger, all of that, his Prince’s younger siblings.

Luo Wang backed up, he tried to grab Yen Hui’s shoulder to hold him while he swayed.

“Hui er”

But instead, Yen Hui looked at Empress Yu Yan with big eyes, clenching his fists tightly.

“Why did you do that? Those kids, they are still so young, they don’t know anything, why did you kill them!”

Empress Yu Yan laughed loudly back.

“Hahahaha how about it, they are so noisy and whining, making my ears hurt, and also, I’m hungry, my lovely baby needs some food, so just think of them as an appetizer before Pu Kong enjoys your delicious meat. Aunt Hu, I think it’s time to take my pet out”

Aunt Hu, the all-white-haired old lady took out something from under her clothes, a small thing resembling a whistle which she immediately blew.

Instantly a deafeningly loud sound was heard clearly, along with the slow shaking of the ground that was getting louder and louder, something moved from the ground.

Everyone stepped aside, including the women in black leaving the hostages in the middle of the hall, waiting for something that seemed to be approaching, from the ground.

Bai Ying’s eyes flashed red for a moment, this was what he felt when an enormous force approached them. He held the Crown Prince’s hand tightly.

“Your Highness, something is coming”

Luo Xiang and the others readied their weapons. Xiao Hong could also feel the enemy coming this time, not a human, but, a terrifying creature that had appeared from the ground.

He is getting ready to open his wings to protect Chen Ming who was beside him, this, was not a battle for ordinary humans. Chen Ming realized that he swallowed his saliva whole as he knows what is the meaning of Xiao Hong’s gaze on him.
