CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

699 Back to Reality

The dew had just dripped from the wide end of the lotus leaf onto the surface of the pond. The smoke from the burning remains can still be seen in several corners of the palace all the way to the Pai Hua valley where the black tower of the priestess has been razed to the ground.

It is said that the red fire belonging to the fiery red bird will indeed burn completely, even if it is hit by the rain that fell before dawn, the fire will still burn slowly without leaving anything behind.

Some of the soldiers who were already tired of escorting clan members of the Female Priest who had been abandoned by their leader, would all become palace prisoners until the King decided on further punishments for the not small number of people.

The Minister of Defense took on duty at that time, Minister Su Ho was standing in the large courtyard of the Eagle hall taking charge of the troops since General Lu san and the others were too tired after a long night of fighting. Casualties were not small, both from the clan of the female priestess who decided to fight back, and from the palace soldiers after the clan’s creatures attacked incessantly.

The attacks were finally stopped after Queen Yu Yan was successfully paralyzed, however, it was inevitable that a large casualty would fall beyond everyone’s expectations. The palace suffered a lot of damage everywhere, the Eagle Hall of which more than half of the building had collapsed. The field with blood splattered and Queen Yu Yan’s flag fell to the ground and some were still forcibly taken down from their poles.

The Divine Shaman led by the Shaman Fu, the great teacher Shin Mu Lei led his students to accompany the weak Pu Kong towards the Valley. The creature became weak immediately after Queen Yu Yan was defeated, as well as the tentacled creature that turned out to be a giant octopus that the Queen and the clan of Priestess nurtured in the underground just below the black tower.

Luo Xiang sat asleep on the edge of the bed. Supporting his head with one hand trying to stay awake. But he couldn’t, he was too tired to fall asleep in a sitting position with one hand holding Bai Ying’s hand who was still sleeping on the bed.

Bai Ying opened his eyes. Clarifying his gaze to the ceiling that looks very foreign. He turned his head and saw the Crown Prince sitting on the edge of the bed slightly leaning against the bed and sound asleep.

He still clearly remembers how the Crown Prince’s face that he saw in a dream was very real, too real as if he really experienced it. Bai Ying slowly withdrew his hand, trying not to wake the Crown Prince, but he couldn’t. Luo Xiang move and opened his eyes wide.

.....

“Ying Ying, you woke up”

Bai Ying swallowed his saliva whole, so fast the Crown Prince was now above him looking at him from a very close distance, he couldn’t even move.

“Your Highness, is, this really you?” he asked lifting his hand and touching the Crown Prince’s cheek.

Luo Xiang smiles.

“Of course, who else did you expect?” Luo Xiang replied.

Bai Ying almost pushed Luo Xiang’s chest away but Crown Prince instead grabbed his hand and held it, lifted it up, and kissed it.

“Thank goodness you’re awake. Young Master Wang said, there should be no poison left in your body, you will be fine.”

Bai Ying frowned, poison? What poison?

“Eh, did I been poisoned?” he asked.

Luo Xiang nodded. Help Bai Ying slowly get up and sit back.

“Be careful, my Ying Ying”

Bai Ying smiled, sure enough, it was the Crown Prince he knew, a simple address for him in a tone he knew so well. In this world, only the Crown Prince would call him by that name and with that tone.

“Thank you, Your Highness”

Luo Xiang got up from the bed and approached the table, poured the tea into the cup. Approached Bai Ying again and thrust the teacup in front of him.

“Here, drink this first, look at your dry lips,” Luo Xiang said tilting his head to see Bai Ying’s slightly pale and peeling lips.

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s chest away, the look in his eyes made his cheeks blush red.

“Your Majesty, how can I drink this way?”

Luo Xiang smiled, not even turning his head away.

“Why? Do you need my help? How about drinking it through my mouth?” Luo Xiang almost kissed him. Bai Ying pushed Luo Xiang’s chest and turned his head away.

“Your Majesty”

When Luo Xiang still couldn’t stop teasing him, the bedroom door opened from the outside.

“Rotten Crown Prince!”

Chen Ming had entered suddenly without warning.

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince away from him and pulled his body away. His eyes widened when he saw his brother who was already in his room.

“Brother!”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips. Slowly turning his body saw Chen Ming who was already standing behind him. Looking at him with his big round eyes.

“Well, Prince Chen, did I allow you to get into my room? Without permission?” said the Crown Prince who as usual refrained from getting angry, remaining calm even though Chen Ming had irritated him.

Chen Ming looked at Bai Ying, eager to approach him.

“Just for you to know, in case you forgot, this is Wah Ye, not Yue Yang’s, and you already forbade everyone to see how my brother doing. It’s outrageous, Brother, how are you?” Chen Ming approached the bed and couldn’t wait to hug his brother.

Bai Ying smiled, he hugged his brother very tightly, almost shedding tears remembering the horror of losing him.

“Brother, this is really you, isn’t it?”

Chen Ming, who was just about to say hello, frowned, feeling that Bai Ying’s hug was so tight.

“Yeah, who else, is there anyone else?”

Bai Ying finally couldn’t hold himself back and burst into tears.

“Thank goodness, brother is still alive and well, thank goodness the Crown Prince didn’t kill you, thank God”

Hearing that, Chen Ming, who didn’t want to see the Crown Prince before, now looked at each other in confusion.

“Crown Prince? Kill me? Who do you mean?”

Bai Ying buried his head deeply until his voice was muffled, he raised his head and pointed at Crown Prince Luo Xiang.

“Who else, His Highness the Crown Prince”

Chen Ming widened his eyes. ‘

“Crown Prince? Why would he want to kill me? Your Highness, do you really want to kill me?” he asked.

Luo Xiang stuttered, what did Bai Ying say?

“Eh, Ying Ying, what do you mean? Why would I want to kill your brother? What’s wrong with him?”

“Well, because Your Majesty doesn’t like him, that’s why” Bai Ying replied. Bai Ying’s words made Luo Xiang and Chen Ming, who were already hot, even more emotional.

“Rotten Crown Prince, my little brother can’t be lying, are you really going to kill me? No wonder I feel an evil aura from you”

And the two of them started arguing.

“What does it mean? What’s the point of killing you? What nonsense is this? Ying Ying, did you have a bad dream? How could I kill your brother, what did he do wrong?” he was about to protest but Chen Ming’s hand held him down.

“Don’t threaten him, you want to make him shut his mouth? Rotten Crown Prince, you’ve been threatening him all this time, I won’t let you off the hook, little brother, let’s go to my room, get out of here” Chen Ming shouted.

Bei Yau stopped and saw Xiao Hong who had stopped in front of the bedroom door, look at the commotion that was so exciting in the room.

“What happened? Why is it so noisy?” asked Bei Yau.

Xiao Hong shook his head.

“Don’t know, it’s been noisy since I’m here”

Bei Yau refrained from laughing. Crown Prince and Prince Chen Ming, the two of them were making a fuss over a young man who made them excited.

“I’ll take him out of here, don’t touch him, let go of your hand” Chen Ming shouted.

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand from Chen Ming.

“Ying Ying is my concubine, why can’t I touch him? Please take your hands off, Prince Chen”

Bai Ying looked at the two of them with his big eyes alternately, biting his lips and scratching his head. Why was he hysterical, already knowing it was just a bad dream? Was it because he was starving that it made him emotional like that? And now how to escape from these two noisy people? He really wanted to eat. His stomach worms started screaming with hunger.

“Eh, um, big brother, just now, what did Ying er say?” asked Bai Ying tugging at his brother’s clothes.

Chen Ming glared at Bai Ying. He took Bai Ying’s hand and held it tightly.

“Moreover, you said this person killed me right? Intend of killing me, what are you waiting for, let’s get out of here”

And now it was Bai Ying who was having a hard time on his own as the two adults each pulled their hand away.
