CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

411 Anything can be Happens

“Eh, this thing, it’s been a long time since I left the house never to see it again, this belongs to my father.”

Luo Xiang looked at the old man for a moment.

“Then, do you think that this thing is just a coincidence? In the old Li family crest, there are few of them, am I right? As far as I know, because uncle often tells about it, one on uncle, one on each of your children, and this, from the engraving, is not the same as what Uncle and your children’s, the shape seems to indicate the level of his generation, if I’m not mistaken, this thing, is belonging to your father right? Li Qe’s?” Luo Xiang said.

Li Mo swallowed his saliva, he nodded,

“That’s right.” Li Mo looked at the jade engraved with wheat stalks on top of the Li family letters, and it did belong to the Li family, the previous generation, of a different form of grain from hers and those of her children.

“Perhaps, father, already gave it to Uncle Lo, and he held it for the last time in his life because he missed him so much, this, please forgive me for not understanding, but what does Your Majesty really mean?” Li Mo said clenching his hands in front of his head while lowering his head.

Luo Xiang turned his head.

“That’s what I wanted to ask you, uncle, what does this thing have to do with this incident, what happened to old man Lo, and, moreover, Xiao Hong’s disappearance. I, already suspected this from the start, uncle might also suspect it if he were in my position, who was the person who found a Er the first time? And who brought a Er to live in this house? Since the girl was still a very beautiful face until her face was badly injured like that. Uncle, can’t deny, if most likely, a Er lost her bloodstone, in this house”

Li Mo widened his eyes, and swallowed his saliva, he clenched his fist holding the round object in his hand because the hanger was burnt out. If so, it was his father’s.

.....

Luo Xiang raised his hand to Ge Lu who was standing by the door, before long the man brought someone in, a Er.

“A Er” Li Mo looked at the skinny girl for a moment.

Luo Xiang pointed at A Er who was already standing bowed in front of Li Mo and others, the girl looked like she had been crying, her eyes were still puffy and red.

This afternoon, in front of the bungalow behind the Li family’s house where Bai Ying and the Crown Prince were having a pleasant time and chatting together while enjoying their afternoon fruit, a Er ran over and immediately threw herself on her knees in front of Bai Ying, the girl was crying non-stop.

From her confession to Bai Ying, the girl said something that took the two of them by surprise. And the mystery of who Huo Li really was was finally revealed.

“A Er said that she sensed communication with Huo Li, who told Xiao Ying that she had caught Xiao Hong, and was going to eat him alive,” added Luo Xiang.

Bei Yau and Su Lang readied their swords, as if ready to attack if Li Mo did something to refute the Crown Prince’s statement even more so that he fled.

Chen Ming, who was sitting beside Bai Ying, sat listening while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

“Heh, this whole time your family has been doing it, it’s really outrageous.”

Hearing Chen Ming’s words, Li Mo stuttered, the man understood what he meant so he got down from his chair and knelt before the Crown Prince.

“Please forgive this Servant, Your Majesty, I am completely ignorant of this matter, please Your Majesty be wise, Servant really didn’t follow all of that happened here before”

Luo Xiang held his breath for a moment, he glanced at Bai Ying, who had said that big lord Li Mo might have nothing to do about this matter.

Crown Prince waved his hand asking the old man to stand up.

“Please raise up uncle”

Bei Yau helped the old man up. For a moment, Li Mo looked at the object in his hand.

“This, indeed belongs to Father, and, I did think, after what happened recently, I also had time to think, if all this has something to do with Father, but, how? My father had died from illness before I went home, I still had time to see with my own eyes his body lying stiffly in the coffin.”

A Er raised her head, the girl shook her head at the Crown Prince.

“According to A Er, it’s not his body, if, big lord Li, may have used someone else’s to cover him, it’s likely that lord Li, is still alive, he suddenly gains his youth ness after getting the bloodstone from San Hong Jie” continued the Crown Prince.

Li Mo was getting more and more shocked, he could barely speak, his lips went numb, his chest hurt thinking about what he had believed to be the truth, and apparently, it wasn’t. But, how is that possible? His father, is, Huo Li?

Bai Ying straightened his seat. Looked at Master Li for a moment.

“Then, can Master Li have any idea what Great Master Li intends to do in his lifetime? What does he really want to do but can’t until he justifies any means to realize his ambition? Back to being young again, becoming the Lord of the Black Crow Clan, and now, even killing old man Lo who was his loyal servant in the past, and, took Xiao Hong somewhere?” Bai Ying asked.

Li Mo frowned, deep in thought for a moment.

“Hem, Father, a man who loves his family and workers very much, during his life he often donated and helped people who were in trouble, Servant, doesn’t believe that Father, could do such a cruel thing, like hurting people, even, killed his own royal servant” Li Mo took a deep breath, staring at the hanger in his hand.

“Heh”

Luo Xiang turned to Bei Yau and Ge Lu.

“Bei, tell the local city government around the Spider forest about Huo Li, we don’t know what he’s up to, but so far that person is quite dangerous”

“Ready Your Majesty”

“And you guys should keep your eyes wide open, Huo Li is still the head of the Black Crow clan until now, it could be that those people appear once in a while”

Bei Yau nodded his head.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

A Er looked at Bai Ying and spoke to him with her inner voice.

“What about Xiao Hong? We have to find him soon.”

“Our priority now is to find Xiao Hong, he’s the one who can solve all the problems,” said Bai Ying.

Chen Ming looked at Bai Ying who was still looking at Er.

“Brother, you need to prepare yourself, the chances of that bird still alive by then maybe very slim, if Huo Li really took it, the reason why he did it one of them might be to kill him”

Bai Ying turned to Chen Ming, then he looked back at A Er, whose face look so worried, Bai Ying’s eyes looks so serious at that time.

“That won’t happen, Brother, Xiao Hong and Huo Li share the same bloodstone, by killing Xiao Hong it means he has to kill himself, but it’s different if Xiao Hong kills Huo Li because that man is just like a parasite to him, for that, Huo Li wouldn’t dare to hurt or even to kill that bird.”

Chen Ming opened his eyes wide.

“Oh really? Em, I just know that, then, how about Xiao Ying and Er Wang? Do you guys also have the same situation?”

Bai Ying turned his head.

“Ying and old man Er Wang are different Brother, that the bloodstone was in Ying’s before old man Er Wang, so, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me, but instead”

Chen Ming rounded his mouth, nodding full of enlightenment.

“Oh I see, hem, that’s why that the ugly dragon is submissive toward you, huh?”

Hearing Bai Ying’s words, A Er who had been crying raised her head, the young girl slowly wiped her tears, looking at Bai Ying calmly even though she was still a little sobbing.

Master Li Mo lowered his head.

“Report Your Majesty, I will look for clues in Father’s study, hopefully, I can find out what Father’s real purpose is.”

Luo Xiang raised his teacup.

“Whatever it is uncle, I don’t think we will find it there, the red bird persona is very strong, it could be that it influenced the mindset of big lord Li, his latent ambitions finally surfaced without him aware, all of that, very natural considering the sudden great power when he has it, everyone will fall for it too.”

Li Mo nodded. He completely agreed with what the Crown Prince said, whether he knew it or not, his father must have something on his mind, and he felt that all this time he didn’t really know who his father really was.
