CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

445 Ye Lu

Xi Hu lowered his head in front of Luo Xiang.

“Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Ye Lu is no longer related to the clan Du Gu, since he was in his teens he knew he had joined my family, this child ran away when he was fifteen, and he has lived with us for five years,” said Xi Hu.

Chen Ming and Su Lang also emerged from the building where they rested, and the young Prince approached.

“Hehe, of course, he must have been sent by his family to be a spy in Yue Yang, don’t you feel the slightest suspicion, eh, this young master...”

Chen Ming stopped not far in front of Xi Hu, who was looking at him without hesitation. The flashes, Chen Ming’s shining face, long hair that fluttered gracefully, and the smell of his body as he passed by, all of which left the young master of a distinguished family stunned, frozen in place.

“Eh Y-Your Highness Prince, Servant is Xi Hu”

Bei Yau pursed his lips, he found Xi Hu’s familiar gaze, the Guard immediately greeted Chen Ming and stood beside him.

“Ehem, Prince Chen, have you enough resting?” asked Bei Yau.

Chen Ming glared at the Crown Prince’s personal guard, not going to pay him any heed. He passed by and stood not far beside Bai Ying.

.....

Bai Ying pursed his lips, he saw Ye Lu who was kneeling in the middle of them, and couldn’t bear to see his face, the young man immediately approached and helped Ye Lu get up.

“Brother Ye Lu, let’s stand up first”

Luo Xiang and the others didn’t expect Bai Ying to do it, but, who could prevent him? Even the Crown Prince couldn’t.

“Heh, just like what Prince Chen said, what is the proof that Ye Lu isn’t a spy, Clan Du Gu still rules the underworld, even lay low until now, we don’t know what’s on their mind and what they’re up to, we can’t be careless” Luo Xiang continued.

He walked slowly towards Bai Ying, pulling the boy’s hand away from Ye Lu, he still stared at Ye Lu for a long time.

“But, we’re not sure either, just let him do what he wants, it’s all meaningless, right now, even Du Gu San isn’t even our match, so, feel free to do whatever they want”

Ye Lu swallowed hard as if the Crown Prince still didn’t believe him no matter what.

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand.

“Come, Ying, we take a rest for our journey tomorrow morning”

Bai Ying stuttered as the Crown Prince’s hand pulled him, leaving Ye Lu in his place.

“B-But Your Highness”

Xiao Hong followed Bai Ying. So did Chen Ming and Su Lang.

“Come on Guard Su, let’s continue to massaging my feet, it hurts so bad,” Chen Ming said past Xi Hu who subconsciously followed him.

“Eh Y-Your Majesty, I have a very good liniment, it must be very good for massaging Your Majesty’s sore feet” Xi Hu exclaimed.

Bei Yau immediately followed him, he was ahead of Xi Hu.

“Eh, Prince Chen’s skin is very sensitive, I don’t think he can accept your liniment.”

Chen Ming didn’t care, he walked straight after Bai Ying who still couldn’t bear to see Ye Lu’s face.

“That can’t be Guard Bei, the liniment of clan Cold Water is made from potions gathered from all over the region, the potions used are of course very high quality and guaranteed not to cause any side effects, all very safe”

Bei Yau pulled his lips.

“How can there be no side effects, Guard Su is the liniment I gave you still available?” cried Bei Yau.

Su Lang who followed behind Chen Ming turned his head, he nodded slowly.

“Eh yeah, it’s still there”

Chen Ming stopped his steps, which made the three people behind him almost collide as he stopped suddenly.

“E eh”

Bei Yau spread his arms to prevent Xi Hu’s body from being pushed in front of Chen Ming. The young Prince’s eyes stared intently at Bei Yau and Xi Hu, crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his body to continue his way back.

“Guard Su, throw away the liniment, no wonder my foot isn’t healing” he grumbled as he left,

Su Lang stuttered, he looked at Bei Yau and Xi Hu in turn, then smiled.

“Hehe sorry gentlemen, please excuse me.”

“Eh, my Prince, wait up” Bei Yau tries to catch up to Chen Ming.

The second prince passed them followed by Guard Pang who frowned at the commotion, the round man just scratched his head.

“Heh, today is very beautiful Pang, how about we have some tea before we leave tomorrow,” Luo Yan said waving his fan.

“Y-Your Majesty, are we going to follow His Highness the Crown Prince to Xin Hua?” asked the round bodyguard, he even looked difficult to walk, but don’t underestimate his combat ability, which the Crown Prince still trusted to use him as his personal bodyguard, even though, there were a few bruises on the fat man’s face.

Lu Yan nodded.

“Of course Pang, we are going to visit Concubine Hua’s family home, this is absolutely not to be missed, we are in the same direction after all. The battle at Ku Chang will definitely require all available manpower to help, just let Lin Mo and young master Xi Hu head over there to monitor the situation.”

Guard Pang nodded.

“Hehe that’s right Your Majesty, Your Majesty is indeed wise” he laughed, still could feel his cheekbones that hurt from bruises.

Not long ago, Guard Pang got the bruises from an exasperated Bei Yau and Ge Lu and taught him a lesson, so to speak, to bullying him. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince rested briefly in their respective rooms after breakfast this morning.

“Brukk”

“Ouch Yau, don’t be mad, I didn’t know it was you guys, please forgive me just this once”

Bei Yau pushed Guard Pang down to the ground, and he got bruises when he hit a tree not far behind him.

Ge Lu also looked at it sharply as if he was about to eat it.

“Pang you are just being the personal bodyguard of the Second Prince so you can oppress people carelessly, you even shouted at us, if I don’t teach you a lesson today don’t call my name Ge Lu”

Guard Pang hadn’t even raise from the fall when Bei Yau and Ge Lu attacked him again, the two of them threw the frog at him, stuffing it under his clothes.

“Ouch, you guys!”

This of course made Guard Pang immediately stand up and try to run while removing the frog that had slid under his clothes, making him a tickle, he hate frogs the most.

“Oh, you guys, watch out!”

Bei Yau and Ge Lu laughed contentedly at Pang who ran off with a cute move.

“Hahahahaa”

“Let me know how it tastes”

.......

The sky slowly darkens. By night and the group will rest to continue their journey tomorrow morning.

The air was starting to feel cold and the wind was blowing quite hard, making anyone who had no business outside the house immediately return to their rooms and rest.

The water was in the small creek within the base area while Yue Yang’s army was churning, someone threw a pebble into it. Accompanied by a long and heavy breath.

“Heh” it was Ye Lu, who was sitting with his knees crossed in front of the small stream behind the main building of the temporary headquarters.

“Don’t sigh like that”

The voice startled Ye Lu who immediately turned his head, and widened his eyes to see who was approaching, he immediately stood up to greet him.

“Y-Your Majesty the King, M-My respect...”

Bai Ying smiled, he immediately lowered Ye Lu’s hand and sat beside him earlier.

Apparently he deliberately sneaked out of the room to meet Ye Lu there.

“Please sit down brother Ye”

Ye Lu stuttered, not daring to sit beside Bai Ying.

“Eh S-servant is inappropriate.”

Bai Ying lifted his head, smiling at the young man.

“Then, should Ying lift my head like this when I talk with you?” Bai Ying asked.

Hearing that Ye Lu immediately lowered his body and sat beside Bai Ying.

“Please forgive me.”

Bai Ying chuckled, seeing Ye Lu’s awkward attitude.

“Hehehe calm down brother, Ying happened to not be able to sleep, so go out for some fresh air, uh happened to see brother Ye here, um, accompany Ying to chat for a while, at least until Ying is feel sleepy”

Ye Lu nodded slowly.

“Y-Yes, Your Majesty.”

Bai Ying looked up at the sky above them, a sky with a few clear clouds so that the stars could be seen quite clearly.

“Heh, the sky is beautiful, look at the stars, do the stars in Yue Yang palace is same as here? Heh, in the past, Ying used to sit on Lui He’s lake too often watching the stars like this, alone, until, sister Mu Er accompanies me.”

.....

Ye Lu swallowed hard, hearing his sister’s name is mentioned.
