421 So That Was
“Ge Lu, you and Bei Yau just catch up after taking care of all the matters here, no matter what, the situation in the palace is still so chaotic, you guys take care of it as much as you can”
Bei Yau and Ge Lu nodded in unison.
“Yess, Your Majesty”
Luo Xiang stopped his steps in front of Su Lang who was already supporting the unconscious Chen Ming, he turned his body to look behind.
The Palace of Gao’s buildings were mostly destroyed, the grounds were torn apart and in some places, there were holes quite large due to their battle. Although King Bu Ye would be very grateful that he and the others had saved their palace from Huo Li’s clutches, still, that miserly King would start asking him to compensate for all the damage, before that person knew who had saved and destroyed their palace, he had better and Bai Ying just step aside, rebuilding this palace must cost a lot of money.
“Come on Ying Ying, let’s go back to Xi Yang”
Bai Ying wrapped his arms around the Crown Prince’s neck.
“Em, Your Majesty, what, aren’t we going to greet King Bu Ye and the Empress Dowager first? Shall we just go home like this?”
“Let Bei Yau take care of it, let’s go back, after all, look at your current condition, and look at your brother.”
.....
Bai Ying opened his eyes wide to see Su Lang who was carrying Chen Ming on his back.
“Oh, what happened with my Brother? Does he hurt, Your Majesty?”
Luo Xiang shook his head.
“He’s fine, he was just so tired that he suddenly fell unconscious.”
Bai Ying pursed his lips.
“Oh I see, what a pity brother”
Bai Ying leaned his head against Luo Xiang’s big chest, hugging the big man’s body tightly.
“Hemm Your Majesty, I am so tired, this time Ying will be sleeping for two days and two nights and not waking up”
Not long after walking, they finally approach the shading trees area where their carriage was, luckily it’s located far enough outside the palace gate, which was also quite far from the nearest village so that there were no unnecessary casualties from their terrible battle, that had lasted a day and night, its no wonder if all of them were exhausted.
“How can you sleep two days and two nights, Ying Ying won’t be hungry?”
“Well, I’ll wake up when it’s time to eat, then go back to sleep, that’s a really good idea right?”
Luo Xiang smiled amused at the words of the little boy in his hands now.
“This little kid” and he couldn’t be satisfied to see Bai Ying’s pair of shining eyes looking at him so innocently, the look in those eyes that was very different from when he was a Realm King, a young man with boundless immense strength.
That was for sure, he was no longer the weak Hua Bai Ying that he always had to protect, now, he could rule the world with his little hands. Luo Xiang didn’t really think about it, but the kid’s destiny might be much bigger than what he had thought, even bigger than a future Emperor like himself.
“Chup”
Luo Xiang kissed Bai Ying’s forehead, looking at him with an endless smile on his face.
“My Realm King, what should I do with you?”
Bai Ying hugged Luo Xiang tighter until he closed his eyes resting on the man’s large chest, the chest that always made him feel very safe.
“Erm, just give me good food Your Majesty, I am very hungry”
“You said you’re sleepy”
“Your Majesty, but I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, of course, I am very hungry”
“So what now? We only have bread in the carriage”
“Well, rather than nothing”
The two of them had already entered the chariot with Chen Ming who was still unconscious, while Su Lang and Xiao Hong were coachmen riding on the carriage at the front. Of course, the Crown Prince’s great white horse was at the front. They left without bringing many people along knowing the people from Huo Li and the other black crow Clansmen would injure them, only adding an unnecessary burden.
Xiao Hong’s eyes lit up when he saw the big horses pulling the carriage, he could communicate with them.
“Wow, you guys are so dashing.”
The horse carriage moved forward slowly, the horse at the front as if mocking Xiao Hong.
“You guys, I’m not a kid anymore, look at my body, I’m an adult now!”
Su Lang, who was sitting beside Xiao Hong, only occasionally looked at the handsome young man, he swallowed his saliva, who knows how lucky he was to be able to sit side by side with the young man whose lower clothes were slightly parted, showing his calves to his smooth thighs which so refreshing to the eyes, who would not be tempted to see it?
Su Lang averted his gaze, he must not be tempted, as the Viceroy said, the charm, the vermilion bird charm is indeed very strong, but he is Su Lang, the head of the Xin Hua palace guard can definitely fight it.
“heh”
.....
Back to the Li family home.
Li Mo and the Crown Prince were having a serious conversation when there was a commotion in the front garden.
“Come on, Ne Ma, please don’t delay it anymore, hurry up go to the market and buy it, before the shop is closed,” said Li Yu, Li Mo’s third son.
The Crown Prince and Li Mo only glanced at each other for a while, the two of them would just ignore it and continue their conversation. However, the second voice got louder.
“No! you can’t go there by this afternoon Ne Ma, I need it now, hurry up”
Finally, Li Mo lowered his cup onto the saucer, clenching his fists in front of the Crown Prince before excusing himself to leave.
“I will see what happens out there, Your Highness.”
Luo Xiang waved his hand.
“Well, please uncle.”
Not long after, in front of the bungalow garden which is the backyard of the main house, Li Yu was standing in front of his butler Ne Ma who seemed to be busy directing his girls to do the house job that time, to clean up the house and its surroundings. The maid lowered her head when she saw Li Mo approaching.
“Master”
Li Mo frowned, seeing what his youngest son was doing there?
“Yu Er, what are you doing here? Why not accompany Yi er inside?” Li Mo asked.
Li Yu scratched his head, he seemed to be in a hurry.
“And why are you shouting at Ne Ma?” Li Mo asked again.
“Eh, greetings Father, it’s like this, Yu er is asking Aunt Ne Ma to go to town for a while to buy something, but Aunt Ne Ma said that she will just go there this afternoon, well, Yu er can’t wait, Father, after all the beef jerky stand will run out and closing by this afternoon, Yu er really needs it now dad”
Li Mo frowned.
“Jerky? Why do you need the jerky for? All of a sudden, you never like to eat that, didn’t you?”
Li Yu scratched his head again, he looked restless.
“Oh, but Father, it’s not for Yu er, that, is for someone, anyway, Yu er wants to buy it for him, is it really need the reason for that?”
The very calm Li Mo stroked his short beard, he wondered if they had any guests in this house, apart from the Crown Prince, and, Xiao Hong? Li Mo opened his eyes wide.
Li Yu seemed to be in such a hurry that his legs couldn’t stop moving.
“Never mind, Yu er goes and buys it by myself.”
Li Mo held his son’s hand as the young man passed him.
“Hey wait a minute, is it for Xiao Hong?”
Li Yu stuttered, but he nodded quickly.
“Yeah right, Xiao Hong really likes beef jerky, and that shop sells the most delicious beef jerky, Yu er wants to buy some for him”
Luo Xiang appeared from inside the bungalow and saw Li Mo who left him to wait inside for quite a while.
Li Yu immediately lowered his head to see the Crown Prince behind his father.
“Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince”
Luo Xiang nodded, he thought he had heard Xiao Hong’s name mentioned a couple of times since earlier.
“Em, what’s wrong with Xiao Hong?”
Li Yu stuttered, he was getting more anxious.
“Eh, that, Your Majesty, it’s nothing, just, Your Majesty, if you will please excuse me” Without saying much Li Yu lowered his head for a while and hurried off, Li Mo didn’t even have a chance to say anything.
“Err, Yu er, this kid, wait a minute you haven’t finished talking yet.”
Li Yu’s voice running towards the house was clear.
“Later on Father, Yu er is in a hurry”
“Ich that kid”
The Crown Prince turned to Li Mo, both were thinking something, what made Li Yu so pay attention even to serving Xiao Hong who just arrived here last night? That kid, did, he’s already caught by the bird’s charm?
