CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

452 Embrace The Past

“Why? Does Ying miss the past?” asked the Crown Prince.

Bai Ying shook his head, tightening his grip on the Crown Prince’s neck.

“No, though, there are some good memories, but, Servant, don’t really miss them, maybe, some people, but, all those bad memories, it’s very hard to get rid them of, Your Majesty”

Beautiful flowers grew all the way to Plum’s bungalow, where each stepping stone is made in such a way with Wah Ye and Yue Yang’s signature carvings.

There was a sound of heavy breathing from Bai Ying who lowered his head on Luo Xiang’s shoulder looking at the scenery around them.

“Your Majesty, should we go to Ku Chang and Hei Wu to face the black tortoise? It feels really tiring, he must be very strong, according to Mr Li, if we enter the territory of the black tortoise our chances of defeating it are very small, I’m afraid, there will be more victims later. How about Ying just go there and deal with it myself?”

Luo Xiang stopped his way.

“What does it mean to go there alone? Then Ying Ying thinks who this big brother is?”

Bai Ying tightened his embrace.

.....

“Heh, Ying can face the tortoise on my own, no matter how hard it is, Ying will try, but, Ying, can’t bear to imagine that anyone would be hurt by that creature, Ying had a bad dream, that the black lake turned red, and His Majesty become victim among others, how can Ying live if something bad happens to you?”

Luo Xiang continued his pace.

“No matter what happens, this brother of yours will never let Ying Ying go alone, that’s highly never going to happen”

Bai Ying was speechless, he knew how the Crown Prince was, so it was useless to forbid him to go against that mystical creature, even if he knows their lives are at stake.

“heh”

After a long walk, they finally arrived in front of the gate of the Plum bungalow, although not at all similar to the pavilion in the Crown Prince’s palace, but the perimeter of the fence was overgrown with very beautiful plum blossom trees and entered the fence, where several guards standby, there was a garden and a small pond for Bai Ying to raise his goldfish, there were several rabbits that had curled up in the corner of the small garden which was lined with a fence so that the rabbits would not escape, all of them were built for the Viceroy.

“Ying, look at your house, it’s very beautiful, there is a rabbit, Ying must really like it, right?” asked the Crown Prince, he was waiting for Bai Ying’s response, but the boy didn’t answer, his hands fell limply in front of his chest, looks like he already fell asleep from exhaustion.

“Hey this poor kid, he really exhausted.”

The Crown Prince turned to Yan and Bi.

“Have you prepared the bed? Don’t let the bed get cold.”

Yan and Bi nodded as they lowered their bodies.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

Immediately the maids, followed by other servants widened the door into the bungalow. Luo Xiang had to admit, they built a very good palace and especially this bungalow, all the furniture and decorations in the room are so beautiful, the stairs leading to the second floor look so enchanting, this is really a bungalow suitable for a viceroy to live in.

“Come on Ying, let’s go to our room” whispered Luo Xiang following the maids to their room which was located on the second floor.

Slowly, Luo Xiang lowered Bai Ying’s body onto the bed that was on the edge of the room which occupied half of the second floor, it was definitely a very big beautiful room.

Luo Xiang smiled at Bai Ying’s cute face as he slept so soundly, really a sweet little boy, so adorable.

“Hey kid, why are you sleeping so easily?”

Luo Xiang lifted his body and kissed Bai Ying’s forehead gently, brushing his hair away from his cheeks, and helping him loosen his outer garment which looked quite uncomfortable for him to sleep with it.

“Heh this kid”

...

The next day at Elder Yi’s residence who occupied one of the official bungalows to the east of Plum’s bungalow, not too far only a few blocks away.

Luo Xiang and Bei Yau, as well as the Crown Prince and his bodyguards, Chen Ming and Shin Ya, had already gathered sitting in the living room discussing their next plan, the journey to Ku Chang and Hei Wu which was extremely cold. Their opponent this time, was probably the oldest amongst their previous opponents.

Ye Lu is standing in the middle, as the head of the Xi family’s guard who has lived in Ku Chang for a couple of years and knows about what happened there, telling how the current situation was after the King of the black kingdom Xue Hua passed away and now the throne was taken over by his Queen, Queen Bo Yan.

The black tortoise has inhabited Hei Wu for thousands of years ago, no one knows for sure how old it is because the black tortoise is a witness to the history of all the changes in the region, including how the destruction of the cold palace of Ku Ye and the establishment of the dark palace of Xue Hua which is now already occupied almost all the territory around Ku Chang.

Bo Yan had planted the new Xue Hua state flag in every new territory they controlled, fearing that the atmosphere in Ku Chang would get hotter while the cold-handed Queen Bo Yan didn’t care about the power of the martial world even and asked everyone to worship her.

Luo Xiang raised his teacup, after hearing Elder Yi and Ye Lu’s brief story about Ku Chang’s current condition.

“Then what should we do? Xue Hua Palace, even though it is known as a dark palace because it doesn’t want to deal with other countries, still has its own territory and power, for that, we obviously can’t do much. Except gathering other countries to bring it down,” said Luo Xiang.

The Second Prince looked thoughtful.

“Hem, it’s rumoured that Queen Bo Yan is a woman in her fifties who is still very pretty like a twenty-year-old girl, so I’m a little curious to see what she looks like”

Ye Lu turned his head, lowering his head in front of the Second Prince.

“Sincerely Your Highness the Second Prince, it is true, that Queen Bo Yan possesses incomparable youth and beauty, but rumours circulating in society say that the Queen derives her youth from absorbing the essence of a male child who is still a virgin, since then, all boys who are growing up rush to find girls in the village and marry them, even though they are still very young, em, even one of them, including Servant”

Ye Lu’s words made everyone look at each other, of course, that wasn’t the information anyone wanted to hear.

Realizing that Ye Lu lowered his head in return.

“Please forgive me for speaking presumptuously!”

“Heh”

Elder Yi lowered his head.

“Pardon me, Your Majesty, I know what young master Ye means, young virgins will be targeted by Queen Bo Yan for their essence, which means they will die in a very painful way, but this cannot prevent the Queen from getting Even if this is the case, I’m afraid that our opponent this time will not only be the black tortoise, but also the cold palace and Queen Bo Yan.”

.........

While in the garden outside Elder Yi’s bungalow building.

Bai Ying, who didn’t come inside, sat in front of the garden accompanied by Xiao Hong and Ye Mu. Even though things had been bad between them before, this time Bai Ying would only see Ye Mu as the older concubine who had spoiled him in the past.

“Wow, this is so pretty, did you make this by yourself Sis?” asked Bai Ying admiring the small pouch the size of his palm that Ye Mu had specially made and embroidered for him.

The girl nodded.

“Of course, I spend a lot of time making things like this, the members of the city art club who taught me, it was very difficult to sew these beads and make embroidery, but slowly I can do it, not so bad right? ”

Bai Ying nodded.

“It’s not bad at all sis, instead this is so good, but, um, can Ying accept this? Now that you have found your brother, it’s better to just give it to Lu er.”

Ye Mu smiled, the look and the light in her eyes were clearly very much different from Ye Mu who was his enemy back then. Her eyes now are brighter, harbouring a sense of security and satisfaction, Bai Ying could see that quite clearly.

“Heheh this Ying er, don’t worry about that, sister also made one for Lu er, he really likes eagles, and I happened to make one a while ago, heh, sister didn’t expect to meet him again after all this time, Sister always thinks about him when I made this, this is a blessing.” Ye Mu smiled as he hugged another small pouch on her chest, seemed can’t wait to hand it to him.
