CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Come on, don’t forget to prepare it, eh Bu’er, how about flowers and aromatherapy for bathing, ouch XiaoYing really likes everything that smells good, don’t forget to prepare it in the bath, well, and also for concubine Fu and Princess aYa, don’t let it be too late, if it’s not enough, run to the market to buy it,”

Bu’er the skinny waitress who served the guest room nodded.

“Yes, Big master!”

............

The wind that blew brought cold air with him in through the windows of the largest room in the Deer bungalow. Two maids were still standing quietly in front of the bedroom door which was still tightly closed even though the sun had started to rise.

BaiYing shifted his head to hug his warmest pillow as the cold air caressed his face, he looked very small in the Crown Prince’s big body hug who also slightly shifted his body-hugging BaiYing tighter.

“Um, it’s cold.”

BaiYing who was still half asleep nodded,

.....

“Yeah, it’s cold” his hands clenched on the Crown Prince’s chest, LuoXiang opened his eyes, smiled broadly stroking BaiYing’s hair which showed his innocent forehead, and kissed it, wrapping BaiYing’s fist with his hand.

“Is YingYing not hungry?”

Bai Ying nodded.

“Hungry, but sleepy, let’s sleep again”

The Crown Prince smiled, he just wanted to be motionless all day and hugged the kid, there was nothing he wanted more than that.

“Hmh, just sleep again, we will sleep all day until satisfied”

But..

“Tuk Tuk”

Insolent, the sound of knocking on the door, cursed the Crown Prince in his heart, who else dared to knock on his door if not his bodyguard BeiYau.

“Forgive servant, Your Majesty, but, there is something very important” BeiYau voiced.

The Crown Prince was annoyed, he would punish his subordinates who were still single and didn’t know how it felt to fall in love, slowly and carefully so as not to wake BaiYing, LuoXiang put BaiYing’s head which he had been on his shoulders since last night, then covered him with a blanket and slowly got out of bed.

“Erm Your Majesty” BaiYing delirious.

LuoXiang grabbed his robe beside the bed, and moved towards the door, opened it, and glared at BeiYau who was already standing in front of him, bad, BeiYau thought, he must have made another fatal mistake, the Crown Prince’s eyes looked at him as if he wanted to eat him alive, BeiYau lowered his head in a quick salute.

“Pardon Your Majesty, but, guests that Your Majesty waiting for, have just arrived.”

LuoXiang exhaled, lowering his level of irritation, it was indeed he who ordered BeiYau to bring this important person to this house and inform him immediately, the Crown Prince glanced at the two maids at the side the door.

“Prepare my bathwater.”

The two young maids lowered their knees and nodded.

“Yes Your Majesty”

The Crown Prince then glanced at Yan and Bi who had also been waiting for a long time in front of the room, both of them saluted him.

“Greetings Your Majesty the Crown Prince”

“YingYing is still sleeping, let him sleep longer, you guys just prepare the bath and his breakfast, don’t let him go downstairs first.”

The maids nodded in unison.

“Yes Your Majesty”

........

In the living room of the Deer bungalow, General Po was already standing beside LuoXiang who was sitting on his chair, preparing to welcome his guest that morning, the guest who arrived so early after last night BeiYau’s men rushed to pick him up very carefully without causing much movement because of the person in front of him was very important, as the target of the Black Water Clan’s assassination at this time, that was what YiFang said before he resigned from his presence in DuAn city.

The old man with all white hair lowered his body to salute the Crown Prince.

“Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince”

LuoXiang waved his hand for the old man to stand up, BeiYau helped his old body up and led him to sit on a chair not far in front of the Crown Prince, a slightly stooped old man who had experienced many events that made his frail body weak. although it wouldn’t make someone like the magic healer OuYang Lu give up.

“Healer Ou, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard of your big name, and I’ve only been able to see you in person here, maybe, we’ve met indirectly when I was little but, it’s been a long time since,” said the Crown Prince, Ou’s healer bowed his head.

“Forgive this servant, Your Majesty, for not recognizing you, for our first meeting was so short that it took place under unfavorable conditions.”

LuoXiang raised his teacup, he remembered seeing the figures of adults talking to each other in the garden behind the Hua residence when he visited first, not long before the attack, and the fact that it was that old healer who saved little BaiYing’s life back when he was seriously injured with a piece of the Bloodstone in his possession, indirectly it was that man who caused such a big problem for the Hua family, but, how could he blame him, if he did not use the stone to save BaiYing’s life, then there would be very little chance of BaiYing surviving his injuries, whereupon, a sharp sword as wide as the size of his small heart pierced through his heart, it was impossible to save him.

Klek.

The Crown Prince put his cup on the saucer.

“Your’s Life and Death Pill, what is the true function of those two pills? In fact, YingYing doesn’t need to take it and he can still survive even if the serpent ErWang forcibly removed the Bloodstone from his body”

LuoXiang’s words made the healer Ou stutter, the old man didn’t seem to believe what he had heard, his theory might have been wrong all along.

“That, I also don’t understand Your Majesty, all of this has never happened before, holy serpent ErWang has enormous power, taking the Bloodstone completely from XiaoYing’s body can at least make XiaoYing’s heart stop, but, it’s a miracle, I need some time to think about what really happened”

LuoXiang looked at the old healer for a moment, it was unlikely that the healer who was known for his compassion and helping anyone in need harmed BaiYing, he also had no advantage over that.

“Heh never mind, I haven’t really thought about it, most importantly YingYing’s current state is fine, hem, healer Ou, I invited you here, because you might know the big secret of who was behind the murder in the Hua mansion ten, years ago, and also, who killed the Hua family, apart from the Blood Stone, I believe the person who did all this, had other motives, have, you might know about it?” LuoXiang asked, his eyes glaring at the healer, healer Ou stuttered, he looked at the Crown Prince, then General Po beside him, also his bodyguard BeiYau, apart from the servant there was no one else there, the Crown Prince understood what the old man’s wary look meant.

“Relax, everyone here can be trusted, General Po is also BaiYing’s adoptive grandfather, everyone here is trying to protect him”

Physician Ou raised his fist and bowed his head in front of the Crown Prince.

“Forgive servant, Your Majesty, until now, I didn’t know for sure who was the mastermind behind the killing orders and massacre of the Hua family, but, at first glance, I heard that, possibly, that person was a very powerful, and, all related to the Palace.”

The Crown Prince who was just about to reach for his cup stopped the movement of his hand, he looked at the healer Ou with a frown.

“What does it mean to be related to the palace?”

Physician Ou stuttered whether he should continue or not, but the Crown Prince’s gaze on him made him fearful that he might say something wrong.

“Forgive this old servant, Your Majesty, but, servant, have seen the order plaque from the person who attacked the Hua family home ten years ago, that, the level one order plaque of Hua family assassination, is from the Palace”

Physician Ou continued his speech in a slightly trembling tone, hearing that The Crown Prince immediately stood up with big bulging eyes.

“What do you mean from the palace? Physician Ou you know what you’re saying?”

Hearing Crown Prince Physician Ou’s loud voice immediately lowered his body to his knees on the floor.

“Forgive Servent, Your Majesty, servant deserves to die, but that’s what servant saw during the attack on the Hua family home ten years ago.”

LuoXiang looked at healer Ou with sharp eyes.

“Healer Ou, if that’s the case, the palace should have found the plaque among the attacker’s corpses, but, why didn’t anyone report it?”

Physician Ou lowered his head back to face the floor.

“My majesty, the order plaque disappeared when I reported to the palace, please pardon Your Majesty, however, I have tried to report this, but there is no evidence in my hands, so, it all just went away”

LuoXiang held his breath, trying to restrain himself from exploding, this is absolutely impossible, how can there be an order plaque from the palace? Whereas the ones killed were concubine Lu, his birth mother who was the concubine of the Emperor, and also SanNiang who was just an ordinary official’s daughter, which made people from the palace want her life, this, very hard to believe, level one command plaque, meaning that issued orders could it come from the Emperor himself, could it be, what happened ten years ago, was orchestrated by his own father? Does this mean, the person who ordered the killing of one Hua family, was also him? How could this happen?
