CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

693 Kill Him!

Wu Yi looked at Eunuch Sheng, Bai Ying’s gaze on his advisor was unfriendly. He laughed.

“Hahaha, sweet boy, Eunuch Sheng is also part of the family, whatever we talk about can’t get out of here, you can trust him more than anyone”

Bai Ying sat down in his place. He tucked his hair behind his shoulders. He grinned.

“Hehe, yeah, of course, part of the family, Eunuch Sheng, you should probably be careful, being part of His Highness King Wu Yi’s family isn’t necessarily a good thing, you, don’t expect his treatment of you who is a nobody will be any better, compared to his own grandson right?”

Bai Ying’s words made Wu Yi, who had been laughing widely, change his expression. The kid seemed to be mocking him.

“This kid, what do you mean? Oh, you’re still mad about that good-for-nothing brother of yours?”

Bai Ying smiled. He lifted the cup of tea which the maid had just entered to deliver earlier. Finish it in one gulp.

He looked back at Wu Yi.

“Grandfather, this tea is good, let Ying er, for the last time serve tea to grandfather before Ying er’s departure tomorrow,” said Bai Ying who stood up carrying a pot of tea to his grandfather’s table.

.....

Eunuch Sheng wanted to stop him, but Wu Yi glanced at him to keep him in his place. Bai Ying looked at the eunuch with sharp eyes. He took two cups and poured tea into them.

“Why, Eunuch Sheng, are you afraid I will poison you? Can’t you see that I’m also drinking the tea, and, earlier it was your own maid who brought it here, would they want to help me kill High King Wu Yi?” he asked.

Wu Yi pulled his lips, obviously, the young man in front of him made him not able to do much against him. His weakness for not having offspring makes all the high officials choose Bai Ying as the next successor to the throne, while he was old and would soon step down from his position.

Bai Ying thrust the teacup in front of Wu Yi. The old man looked at it for a moment, and slowly picked it up. Bai Ying also turned to Eunuch Sheng who was still standing still, he pointed at the cup of tea he had prepared for him.

“Eunuch Sheng, please, do I need to get some for you too?”

Stammering a bit, the eunuch finally approached the table and picked up the teacup while lowering his head deeply.

“Thank you, Your Highness”

Bai Ying folded his hands behind his waist as if he didn’t care whether the two of them drank their tea or not.

For a moment, Wu Yi hesitated a bit, that stubborn child might have such a strange thought as to kill him right there, but, what could he do?

Bai Ying turned his body around and sat back down in his place. He smiled. A pretty scary smile from a sweet-faced young man who had never smiled like that before.

It was raining very heavily. The horse’s hoof broke through the darkness of the night and stepped on a puddle of mud water along the road leading to the Pai Hua valley. Many other horses chased from behind.

“Ying er!” shout the Crown Prince.

Not caring about the torrential rainwater drenching them, Bai Ying rode alone at the very front of Prince Chen Ming’s steed as fast as he could. He threw the whip so hard to avoid the people who were chasing him, one of them, the Crown Prince who was at the very front.

“Ying er!” the sound of the heavy rain might prevent Bai Ying from hearing him, he has to shout louder.

“Ying er! Stop!”

Bai Ying brought the horse quickly from the palace, as soon as he managed to make King Wu Yi and Eunuch Sheng die from the nerve poison he spread in the air. The poison is indeed so strong for someone who possesses high martial and inner strength like Eunugh Sheng and King Wu Yi unable to handle it.

He himself also seemed to have been exposed to the poison so that his eyes and ears began to bleed, for him, even if it is just the dust, it’s fatal. However, it was a worthy sacrifice, seeing the two most evil people dying before his eyes, finally, he could avenge his brother, Xi er, and the other children’s grudges.

“You are so pretty, Brother! Hehehe” Bai Ying’s tears flowed down, all the sweet innocent children’s laughter still ringing in his head, and his chest hurt so much every time he remembered it.

“Hiaaa! Hiaa!”

Bai Ying’s heart so hurt, not only that which hurt him so much that he couldn’t stop crying but also another very shocking truth, something he never expect with.

Wu Yi smiled. He leaned back in his chair and smiled at Bai Ying who was looking at him with his sharp eyes and a red face from holding back the anger that was ready to explode.

“Hehe, such an innocent child, do you think, the Crown Prince who you think loves you so much, is truly sincere to you? He was the one who asked Grandfather to order Eunuch Sheng to kill Bei Yau because Guard Bei knows about his dark secret. Heh, stupid child, you are really naive”

Bai Ying clenched his fists.

“No, that’s not true, you just made it up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I know wouldn’t do such a despicable thing, he couldn’t possibly do it! You’re just lying!”

Wu Yi’s laughter broke again.

“Hahaha, sweet child, if you really don’t believe me, just ask your beloved Crown Prince himself, ask him about how he expelled Guard Bei from the Palace because he knew about the Crown Prince’s plot to overthrow Emperor Yue Yang in power and intend to take his throne in the near future. Because that was the only way he could unite Yue Yang and Wah Ye as one, all he did was for the sake of his beloved concubine. He won’t let you return to Wah Ye, so he plans to make the two kingdoms become one. I’m old, and this palace will also be yours when I step down, so it’s no longer my business.”

Bai Ying clenched his fists tightly.

“Then, what about my brother, why did he be the one who makes him like that? Why not just kill him instead of making him suffer like that?” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Wu Yi smiled again, seeing Bai Ying who look at him with his piercing eyes.

“Would you believe it, if I said that it was also a request from His Majesty The crown Prince?”

“No, why did His Majesty do that?” shouted Bai Ying with his eyes wide.

“What else, since Prince Chen also knows the Crown Prince’s plan, he plans to make you a prisoner of his palace and Chen Ming will definitely do everything he can to prevent it. Thus, he asked me to order Du Gu San to give him a strong poison but not lethal. Whatever it is as long as Prince Chen is not killed, for the sake of pleasing his little concubine, he said”

“That is not true! His Highness the Crown Prince won’t do it, you’re lying, that’s not true!”

The swift galloping of horses cut through the slippery and watery path deeper and deeper into the Pai Hua valley. While the Crown Prince and the soldiers tried to catch up.

“Ying er! Stop the horse, Ying er!”

Bai Ying wiped away his tears. Why did things turn out like this? What has he done? He even killed his grandfather with his own two hands. But worst of all, why did the Crown Prince do it, why?

The darkness of the night made Bai Ying run as fast as he could without looking where he was going until suddenly his eyes widened to see that in front of him which was empty without any plains, was a ravine.

“Hey!” Bai Ying pulled the reins tightly back to stop the golden brown horses in time before they charged into the ravine.

“Ah!” Bai Ying who was lifted onto the horse that stopped by standing on its two hind legs was unable to stop itself and fell backward.

“Ah no!” the rainwater that keep pouring none stop disturbed his vision, making him didn’t have time to hold the horse’s neck and finally fell to the ground hard.

Brukk!

The Crown Prince and the soldiers caught up to him. The soldiers dismounted and pointed their swords at Bai Ying but the Crown Prince immediately stopped them by standing in front of Bai Ying who was still on the ground.

“Stop!”

Bai Ying struggled to get up, his body ached here and there, not only from the fall but probably also because of the poison that had pressed into his chest.

“Akh” and it hurt so much.
