CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Em the ghost exists, Young Master, only, in what form did they appear, it could be in a dream, or in the form of a mystical creature, or maybe a monster” explained ShinYa.

XuYi widened his eyes.

“But could it be that LiMei came back and haunted my sister Yan’er? The two of them were very close, it seems unlikely that LiMei will disturb Yan’er”

BaiYing thought while frowning, he swallowed the beef jerky that had been chewed up in his mouth.

“Then, Young Master Xu mind if we ask Miss Xu about this matter?”

ShinYa glanced at BaiYing, there was no way the Crown Prince would allow him to meet that crazy girl.

“Eh Your Majesty”

BaiYing glanced at ShinYa and frowned.

.....

“Master Shin”

XuYi stuttered, looking at BaiYing for a moment.

“Em, Young Master, want to talk to my little sister? But, I’m afraid she’ll be hysterical when she sees you coming, like the other day.”

“If we don’t ask her, how do we know what was happening? After all, there are Young Masters Xu and Master Shin standing guard, what kind of trouble could there be?”

ShinYa shook his head.

“Please forgive me, Your.. uh I mean Young master, but I don’t agree, if Young Master Lu finds out about this matter he will be very angry”

BaiYing glanced outside, the Crown Prince was busy practicing and discussing with Elder Yi and others all day, he would definitely come back in the afternoon, he still had a little time, the young man immediately stood up from his seat.

“Come on Young Master Xu we shouldn’t waste time”

XuYi stuttered as BaiYing’s hand pulled him up, ShinYa immediately followed him and pulled Young Master Xu’s hand away from BaiYIng’s, if Crown Prince finds out about this matter he could lose his head.

“Ehh Young Master this is a very bad idea”

BaiYing smiled widely.

“Just a moment Master Shin, we’ll be back before it gets dark”

.....

In the guest room for the Xu family’s young lady.

LoMa, the stocky middle-aged woman who was the guard of young lady Xu held the young woman’s shoulders tightly. When Young Master said that he would invite guests to check on his young lady.

XuYan was seen huddled in the corner of the bed, her face a mess with long disheveled hair, which even though LoMa always help to tidy it up, she kept ruining it back. Her eyes bulged as if frightened to see every corner as she sat curled up with her knees folded. Her body was shaking quite a bit and her fingernails were torn and bleeding since she kept biting them.

The girl kicked everything off the bedside table when she saw from the door XuYi and BaiYing came in, ShinYa stood in front of BaiYing preventing anything bad from happening, he could lose his head if BaiYing lost even a single hair.

“LiMei! Sister! Mei’er!”

XuYan’s eyes widened as she looked at BaiYing as if the young man’s face was her little sister, in her eyes, BaiYing’s sweet, and gentle figure resembled her sister. Her hand tried to reach the young man but LoMa held her body, the girl was really hysterical to see him.

“Sister! Mei’er! Mei’er!!”

BaiYing was stunned, he didn’t expect seeing the poor girl’s face to make him speechless, he slowly lowered ShinYa’s hand that was blocking the girl towards him.

“Your Majesty don’t, this girl is dangerous, I see a black aura around her” ShinYa whispered.

BaiYing smiled.

“Calm down Master Shin, she’s just in a trance, she’s harmless”

ShinYa couldn’t help but as BaiYing walked past him approaching the girl. While XuYan was trying to let go of LoMa’s grip and grabbed BaiYing with his two long hands with long, bloody nails, some of them were already blackened and begun to rot, added with new wound although the old wounds haven’t healed yet.

“Mei’er, Mei’er”

XuYi opened his eyes wide, he stood in the way of BaiYing who was about to approach his crazy little sister.

“Young Master don’t, I don’t want Young Master to get hurt again because of my younger sister.”

BaiYing smiled. He had never approached a crazy person before, and it is true that the girl had scratched his hand deeply whose wound still stings to this day, but, that girl’s pair of eyes, he couldn’t ignore it because it was more of a sad look than savages, he might be able to do something about to help her.

“Calm down Young master Xu, I will be careful”

.....

The wind blows softly.

At the back of the bungalow inside the Medicine Valley College, the warm air that afternoon made BaiYing decide to take a dip in a small stream with a hot spring that was often used by the Valley’s disciples in their leisure time to bathe, several palace guards were seen guarding the perimeter, preventing anyone from entering to the bathhouse. Even some of the large bodyguards glared at the valley disciples who’s walking around and were about to stop to see who was bathing inside because of so many bodyguards and maids.

“Wow, someone is taking a bath.”

The guard covered the sight of several disciples who happened to be passing by and curious.

“Ahem, please carry on” the sharp gazes of the tall men with fierce faces alone were enough to frighten the young pupils so that none of them dared to approach.

Yan and Bi were busy serving BaiYing, he was soaking half his chest enjoying the very pleasant hot bath.

“Wow, this is so comfortable.”

Yan and Bi held back a smile, BaiYing’s white face turning red from the hot steam.

BaiYing sat leaning on the side while closing his eyes inhaling the warm air mixed with minerals that floated around him, the hot steam from the mineral water bath with the water flowing from the top of the mountain indeed made his stiff muscles lighter.

“Hemh, feels like Ying’er can sleep at here”

“Your Majesty, Servant put more flowers,” Bi said.

“Yes, Your Majesty, If Your Majesty doesn’t mind, Servant will massage Your Majesty’s neck,” continued Yan.

BaiYing raised his hand.

“No need Sis, Ying’er just need to sit here and soaking, it feels great already”

“But Your Majesty, expert says if you have a massage while soaking in hot water, it will be much more pleasant, at that time all the blood vessels are slightly enlarged so a gentle massage can improve blood circulation, and it becomes much better” continued Bi.

BaiYing glanced at his maids, who were about five or six years older than him, both of whom were like older sisters who always take care of him.

“Where did you guys know that from?”

Yan and Bi chuckled as they covered their mouths.

“Hehehe when the palace masseur came to visit, we always asked a lot of things, and she was happy to tell us everything we wanted to know” replied Yan.

“No wonder you are good at massaging now but don’t worry Sis, Ying’er is comfortable enough just by soaking, and this flower smells good, it feels very appease,” BaiYing said lifting the colorful flower petals floating around him, blending with the hot steam from the mineral hot water makes the flowers smell quite fragrant.

“If you guys don’t mind, Ying’er would like to have my own time alone for a moment please?” The maids nodded their heads and retreated in an orderly.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

.....

The sound of splashing water and water still flowing from the spring to the pool became one of the sounds that could be heard, the sun began to sink, and suddenly the sky darkened. While enjoying a relaxing bath, suddenly BaiYing felt something fall on top of his head, startling him and opening his eyes.

“What is this?” resembling a walnut that was now floating in front of him, when he saw more clearly because of the lack of light there, something hit his head again.

“Why is it keep falling?”

BaiYing looked up, there was indeed a walnut tree trunk that passed above his head, does there any squirrels that were being naughty and throw him? BaiYing was so serious he looked up with his forehead frown deeply and didn’t notice something moving towards him from the other side, until suddenly...

Byushhh!

Pulling BaiYing’s body into the water.

“Eulp!”

The youth was helpless when something pulled him all over into the water, holding him inside not letting him rise to the surface, BaiYing’s eyes widened, but, it wasn’t someone else.

The Crown Prince was already holding his body in the water with two wide palms holding his cheeks, kissing his lips in the water.

“Ump”

The bodies of both floated lightly, that pool wasn’t that deep, but still could make their bodies float lightly as they’re flying, the dim light from above showed LuoXiang smiled mischievously, he saw BaiYing’s eyes were still wide in surprise and kissed the lips again, exhale it as if he’s sharing the air with him.
