CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

675 The Dirty Plan

“God damn it!” but this time Shin Ya stood in front of the Crown Prince preventing him from advancing to attack again.

“Your Highness, please stop,” said Shin Ya with a calm tone.

Luo Xiang was already like a buffalo ready to lunge at its opponent until he saw what was in front of him now. That man, Sheng Li with black eyes and black smoke surrounding him, what was that? The young man’s face now looks like an old man, he shows his sharp teeth like a wild animal ready to attack him, what happened to him?

Byusssh.

Cold water. He was lightly floated in the water which brought him down to the bottom. Bai Ying couldn’t control his body. Even though he tried hard, he couldn’t move. His entire body was paralyzed, he couldn’t even move his hands to reach for the light that was getting farther away from him. What’s this? Did he fall into the river again? Bai Ying tried to hold his breath as long as he could, but he was starting to get overwhelmed, was he going to die a ridiculous there?

Just when Bai Ying could no longer take it anymore a loud voice called his name.

“Ying Ying!”

Causing it to quickly pulled back to the light he last saw.

“Hoh”

.....

It was as if all the air around him was back for him to breathe. He opened his eyes and found the Crown Prince’s face already in front of him.

“Ying Ying, wake up” Luo Xiang was already hugging him.

“Your Majesty” and he wasn’t in the water, it was all just a bad dream. Bai Ying’s hands were shaking, he was cold, and his hands were limp trying to reach the Crown Prince’s cheek. Luo Xiang grabbed the palm with those slender fingers and gripped it tightly.

“Ying Ying”

It was just a dream, everything was just a bad dream.

“Your Majesty, thank God” he shut his eyes again.

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying’s limp body tightly. Glancing at Sheng Li who was already in Bei Yau and Xiao Hong’s custody, the young man’s eyes were completely black, in his hand still holding a dagger that was filled with blood. In his chaotic state, the man managed to get close to Bai Ying and scratched his arm.

“No!” cried the Crown Prince who with full force knocked down Sheng Li with his inner strength, sending the young man flying far away and crashing into the table and furniture near the wall.

Everyone was surprised, including his brother, Bu Sang who did not expect his very calm brother to become so violent and managed to knock down many people at once. Even Xiao Hong’s red fire could be brushed aside.

“Old Sheng!”

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying tightly. He almost bled to death and now he looks like a living corpse with a pale face.

“Heh, Ying Ying”

...…

The air was warm with the sun shining softly that afternoon.

The sound of the pressing of the bamboo trees that became the guardrail sounded melodious. Together with the tinkling of the wind chimes that hang above the ceiling of the villa, not to mention the sound of the bamboo seesaw that is made over the small pond beside the villa, it makes the atmosphere very calm and comfortable.

The sky wasn’t that bright, even though it didn’t look like it was going to rain but the air was blowing warmly in the small villa complex on the edge of the waterfall. Luo Xiang and the group stayed temporarily after nearly collapsing one of the buildings where they found Bai Ying. Chen Ming’s tracking coin found Bai Ying in time, in the depths of the Pai Hua valley deserted from the other citizens. In Bai Ying’s era, this valley could be said to be part of the cloud forest that separated Sui Lian City and Pai Hua City.

The sound of water splashing in the bathtub in the restroom could be heard faintly. The Crown Prince and Bai Ying both soaked in a wooden bathtub with warm, hot water, the hot smoke rising from the bathtub.

Luo Xiang gently washed Bai Ying’s innocent chest who was leaning on him. He kissed his cheek from behind.

“Chup”

“How, is it warm enough?” asked Luo Xiang.

Even though he managed to stop the bleeding, Bai Ying was already out of the blood. He had to do something to make him comfortable. Too bad Wang Ye Hua wasn’t with them this time, otherwise, he might be able to heal Bai Ying quickly.

Bai Ying leaned very comfortably on top of Luo Xiang’s thick body. Both have been soaking in the water since earlier.

Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s hand, stopped its movement and placed it on his chest. Linking his fingers to the Crown Prince’s finger which was much bigger than his own. Those rough palms, full of calluses from handling swords too much when he was younger until now. Bai Ying lifted the hand and kissed it.

Luo Xiang smiled. He brushed Bai Ying’s hair floating above the water so that it covered his chest, gathered it and put it in front of the young man’s chest. Tilting his head and kissed Bai Ying’s neck to his cheek.

“What is my Ying Ying thinking? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” he asked in a soft voice.

Bai Ying frowned, thinking.

“Um, Your Highness, how about, I’m coming here, I mean, our coming here, was predestined from the start? If, in fact, everything that happened in the past, it might have something to do with all of us entering the world of Memory Coins?”

Luo Xiang pursed his lips. It’s actually not a secret anymore, he already knew it from the start. White tigers are known to have the ability to control time, so it could be because of him, they are there. But for Bai Ying, it was different, he entered this world through Memory Coins. His destiny made him come here at the right time and event, long before Wah Ye’s palace was buried.

Luo Xiang kissed Bai Ying’s cheek again, then rested his head on Bai Ying’s innocent shoulder.

“That might be true, if it could be that our coming to this world was destined, to be able to help Yen Hui gather the palace founders.”

Bai Ying held his breath for a moment.

“I heard from His Highness Luo Wang’s story, um, please forgive me for overhearing, Your Highness when Your Highness and Prince Luo Wang were talking. And according to Elder Yi, with his current condition, Grandpa probably wouldn’t survive to be forty years old. He could have died at any time without anyone knowing when it would happen. This is probably one of the reasons why Grandfather activated the burial mechanism of the Wah Ye palace, one of the reasons among others.”

Luo Xiang nodded.

“That’s right, Prince Yen Hui’s condition is very fragile. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to become a Great King as you’ve always known.”

Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s two hands and hugged him even tighter.

“Are you worried about that?”

Bai Ying leaned his head back, looking far away at the slowly drifting grey-cloudy sky. His thoughts drifted far away as if flying with a funny-shaped cloud that looked so close, but so far away.

“Em, can we stay here to help Your Highness? Oh yeah, with young master Wang’s ability, he should be able to heal grandpa right?” he asked. Bai Ying straightened up in his seat and turned his head, looking at the Crown Prince who was looking at him from a very close distance.

Luo Xiang smiled. Holding Bai Ying’s cheeks with his two broad palms.

“You know that’s impossible, Ying, we can’t just stay here to help him. King Yen Hui has his own destiny, somehow, but he can make this country so great despite his body condition, don’t you trust him?”

Bai Ying pursed his mouth. He nodded.

“Um, that’s right, he is indeed very great, I shouldn’t have to worry about unnecessary things. However, everything is very strange, knowing all the facts that have happened so far, the decades of suffering experienced by the descendants of grandfathers, including great-grandmothers and mothers, are all now in front of our eyes. Without us being able to do anything to prevent all of that from happening.”

“You know we can’t change the past, Ying, everything has been decided, even if we try as hard as we can I think it will be useless”

Luo Xiang turned Bai Ying’s body to lean back against him. Hug him tightly.

“Heh, we can only do as much as we can, and, as is the case right now, it seems that Empress Yu Yan may already know about our arrival. After all, she was one of the Priestess Clan Elders who had brought this country into chaos because of their black magic. The queen must have planned everything this far.”

Recalling that, Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Oh yeah, Your Highness, how did she know we were here? And, that young master, who is he? How could he see the dragon pearl shards on my body? Was he one of the Shaman clansmen? Or the Priestess? Um, he can’t be the Priestess right?”
