CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

319 Which Storm ?

BaiYing was silent, his eyes looked far away, squeezing his hand on the table, Crown Prince grabbed the little hand and clasped it,

“This is not your problem, why is Ying thinking about it? Those people just got what they deserve”

BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince with round big eyes, eyes that slowly started to tear up,

“That young woman said, that they have to take Ying and Brother MingMing to the appointed location before tomorrow morning, or else they will die in vain, those people, may not even understand what the lady means, which means they don’t have any idea that they have been poisoned all this time, those people, are also afraid of getting in trouble for kidnapping Ying and brother MingMing, Your Majesty, whatever it is, Ying felt they didn’t deserve to die such an agony death.”

Crown Prince tilted his head looking at BaiYing’s face closely, the young man had tears in his eyes,

“This kid, why are you so softhearted, you don’t even know them, why are you suddenly crying like this? Stupid child,” said the Crown Prince, wiping the tears from Bai Ying’s cheeks gently.

The young man looked at the Crown Prince with a red face holding back sadness, he couldn’t control his tears.

“Hush Your Majesty, they are so poor”

Finally LuoXiang pulled BaoYing into his arms, glaring at BeiYau and the others to leave the two of them in the room. BeiYau lowered his head before retreating towards the door, as did ShinYa and the other administrative officials.

.....

“Shut sweet kid, why did you suddenly come and cry like this? heh” LuoXiang patted and stroked BaiYing’s back which was shaking from crying,

“Heh such a crybaby”

...

In the BaoYe forensic office,

GuYe was still standing in front of the bodies of the prisoners who had just been brought from the SanPo city official prison, even though the city headquarters had its own forensic team but these people were Crown Prince’s prisoners, and this case was very important because it was related to Palace, it’s on BaoYe’s jurisdiction.

XuYi approached from outside.

“Master Gu” the young man bowed his head in respect for a moment.

“Officer Xu, look at these people, they all died with five senses of bleeding, this is very common poisoning.”

XuYi nodded,

“That’s right, Master Gu, even being exposed to rat poison will cause the same reaction, all organs will melt and burn, blood is pouring out of every five sense orifice, this is very cruel.”

GuYe stroked his chin. AnHu approached after finishing his written report.

“But this is not the same poison Master Gu, this poison does not work immediately, it stays in the body until it is time to react, if look at the symptoms and color of the victim’s skin after death, not long after it will look purplish, there are some faint black spots, the first possibility might be the very famous MeiHua flower poison.

GueYa and XuYi turned their heads, looking at the young man who had been the main coroner in BaoYe since BaoYe was first founded.

“MeiHua Poison?” especially XuYi who heard the name for the first time.

GuYe turned his head. Seeing AnHu asked the young man to explain what that MeiHua poison meant to XuYi.

“Poison MeiHua doesn’t have a strange smell, initially it resembles the smell of ordinary MeiHua flowers, it is known that the person who gave the poison was probably a young woman so no one would suspect when the poison was ingested by them, and this poison has a duration of daily, from the time of exposure to poison to a day after that, if they don’t get the antidote on time, this poison will immediately attack all organs of the body that explode inside, this poison is very dangerous, the incubation distance of this poison varies, some are instantly eaten, the victim will immediately die, they call it a Red MeiHua”

XuYi nodded.

He thought for a moment.

“His Majesty the Viceroy once said he smelled the sweet scent from the woman who kidnapped them, Master Gu, does this mean, that woman gave poison to her own men? Then, what are they doing after this?”

GuYe thought,

“With this the attackers might have planned something big, they might be going to attack the palace, but, are they that stupid? YueYang Palace had extremely tight security, there was no way they would have been able to enter were it not for being invited by the palace itself.

XuYi opened his eyes wide.

“That’s right Master Gu, within a day the palace will again open its doors to art representatives from outside the area, a cultural festival will be held in the near future in SanPo city and some have already arrived in the capital a few days ago, that’s how the attackers could enter, they might using the art worker pass that was deliberately invited”

Hearing that GuYe widened his eyes as if he had just realized something,

“That’s right, this is serious, we must inform the Crown Prince as soon as possible, come on officer Xu” said GuYe who wasted no time rushing out of the room, XuYi followed him.

.......

The birds chirp and fly cheerfully from the highest branch of the tall trees among others a very beautiful and peaceful garden.

One of the quite large pavilions in the Imperial Palace, the Emerald pavilion occupied by one of the Emperor’s most beloved concubines, that morning the Emerald pavilion had welcomed a fairly important guest who had arrived before the sun shone on the pavilion which was dominated by blue, the Emperor’s concubine’s favourite colour, Concubine SuPing, or Ping’er.

His guest that morning was none other than a handsome, silver-haired man who was already sitting in the courtyard enjoying breakfast with Ping’er who always looked attractive, a handsome and sweet man at the age of thirty-five, who always looked so fresh much younger than his age. Who else could the silver-haired handsome man crack a few jokes to hear Ping’er’s sweet laughter if not Elder Yi, the man indeed had so many activities and free time there, he even visited the Emperor’s concubine’s residence that morning.

Ping’er’s routine as the others morning, enjoying the fresh air, sitting in the garden and cleaning his lute with the clean cloth.

“Heheheh Master, how can that be, Ping’er can only play a little music, not so many songs that Ping’er masters, all as long as His Majesty the Emperor is happy”

“Hehehehe that rotten child doesn’t like music at all, if not for Ping’ er or which beautiful woman who played it he might have fallen asleep”

Ping’er chuckled again at Elder Yi’s words,

“Ping’er thought so too Master, Master really knows His Majesty very well.”

“Hehehe of course I knew him so well, that snotty boy”

While talking, suddenly there was a groan from Ping’er.

“Ouch”

Elder Yi turns fas to check on the young man.

“What happens”

Ping’er smiled, he accidentally hurt his finger while cleaning the surface of his lute.

Elder Yi approached and held the young man delicate hand, a little bit of blood dripping from his index finger.

“Oh its bleeding”

“Hehehe it’s always like this, Ping is always clumsy”

Elder Yi opens his palm releases the warm power and heals the young man wound instantly, still, he keeps holding that hand, even raising it higher and smelling it.

“Emh, Concubine Su, indeed have very smooth and delicate hand, smells so good too”

Ping’er smile, the man really have masher eyes looking at him, why he thinks they are the same person?.

“Yes, indeed Teacher, my Ping’er hand indeed so delicate and smells so good too” Ping’er widen his eyes, suddenly Emperor already there, where the guard voice who suppose to warn everyone?

“Eh Your Majesty” Ping’er pull his hand, this Emperor going to be so fussy after looking at the scene just now.

Yeah, that can’t be helped, the Emperor’s eyes glare at his ‘former’ Teacher.

Elder Yi lowers his head pay respect to the Emperor who’s already there at the very early morning.

“My deep respect, Your Majesty, what wind that blows Your Majesty to come here this early?” asked Elder Yi.

Emperor stroke his chin, smile at his Teacher.

“That’s, what Pai’er suppose to asked Teacher about this, which storm blow my handsome Teacher, to visit my Ping’er this early morning”

Elder Yi chuckled.

“Hehehehe that must be the very warm storm that blows me to come here”

The Emperor then held the young man’s hand, he smiled broadly at his beloved Concubine.

Ping’er smiled with his eyes glaring at the man.

“Eh Yeah, Your Majesty, what made Your Majesty visit Ping’er so early? Amazing, does Your Majesty really have free time to visit Ping’er now?” Ping’er said that as if he was blaming the Emperor who rarely came to his Pavilion, especially at this time.

The Emperor chuckled, he stood so close to his sweet Concubine, he could smell his beautiful and fragrant hair.

“Hehehe Ping’er, you know how my time is, I really want to come here but it’s so hard to find time, PingPing don’t look at me like that”

Ping’er pursed his lips, Sweet-mouthed Emperor always knows how to persuade him, that man always does.

Elder Yi covered his mouth while laughing.

“Ha ha ha ha”
