CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 11: Leads

“Sigh”

BaiYing’s sighted, he sat in the garden in front of his pavilion in the late afternoon and could only sit there all day long without being allowed to take a single step out from the pavilion.

This is so boring, how can he pass ten days?

The first day was already boring like hell, and also, he had to think hard about how he could escape from that perverted Crown Prince, and not only himself, but also for the safety of his family, this was very tiring.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty already been outside for too long, how about if we go inside? Your Majesty’s body is still weak, the physician said that Your Majesty shouldn’t be too tired” BaiYing’s two little servants persuaded him.

BaiYing didn’t move, he’s still sitting in front of the stone table while resting his chin on his two open palms, still thinking about how to get out of there as soon as possible, but how?

When Yan and Bi were still trying to persuade BaiYing, suddenly from the gate entrance the Queen’s entourage showed up.

.....

“Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!” Exclaimed the guard, BaiYing turned his head, he’s late to welcome the Queen when she already arrived in front of him.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming, forgive me for not welcoming Your Majesty.”

BaiYing’s little servants helped him greets but the Queen immediately asked him to get up.

“Yen’er, don’t need to kneel, Queen heard about your illness so rush to come here for checking, look at your pale face, are you feeling better now?”

BaiYing nodded, Queen slowly sat down on the chair beside BaiYing.

BaiYing glanced at his two servants.

“Eh, it is just a normal stomach ache, Your Majesty, no big deal” before leaving him LuoXiang advised him not to tell anyone about his poisoning, less anyone with bad intentions thinks their plan has failed and finds another way.

Soon the two of them sat together enjoying their afternoon tea.

“Oh thank goodness then, em Yen’er, you know the condition of His Majesty the Emperor lately is lacking in enthusiasm due to boredom, so I took the initiative to give the Crown Prince a concubine so that he would soon have children, but as you know, the Crown Prince seems to have no interested in that not until you came, I was so excited, so today I specially came to deliver herbal medicinal drinks from a neighbor country which are powerful enough for you to drink. ”

BaiYing frowned, medicine? Does he need herbal medicine right now?

“Sorry but, Your Majesty meant is”

The queen chuckled, she waved her hand at ChaiMa who was standing beside her.

“What else, this is a herbal medicine to fertilize the womb,” continued ChaiMa.

BaiYing who was just about to sip his tea almost choked, he wiped the remaining water on the edge of his lips quickly.

“Eh hehe, fertilizing the womb” smiles widely.

This is crazy, fertilizing the womb what? As if he has any womb, BaiYing is a boy, after all, he won’t be able to get pregnant, this is ridiculous, BaiYing amused himself, but this is bad if Her Majesty finds out about him lies what punishment will be given to him?

BaiYing smiled as he slowly put his teacup back on the table.

“Hehe, it’s troublesome for Your Majesty, but forgive me, I thought, for this matter, it is better to discuss this first with His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

The Queen took a deep breath, she massaged her forehead with her two pretty fingers.

“Well, this Xiang’er is stubborn, but lately he has changed a lot since Yen’er entered the palace, I never saw him so passionate before this, so I think there has been a little progress into that direction, however, ChaiMa”

Well of course he’s excited, that pervert always thinking about how to prank him every single day, BaiYing thought.

Queen ordered ChaiMa to give a medium-large box with palace carvings containing selected medicinal leaves which the price might be very expensive because it was obtained from abroad, Yan slowly accepted.

BaiYing lowered his head.

“Thank you for your attention, Your Highness”

...

BeiYau who was on his horse approached LuoXiang who was sitting proudly on his big horse, as a Crown Prince who could not just stand by when he was threatened, LuoXiang left the palace following the leads that BeiYau and his men got, after attacking a suspected house, as a hideout for a gang of robbers who were famous for selling everything strange and limited to their customers with special requests, BeiYau’s men managed to catch some of the men who were left behind and did not have time to escape, the palace guards grabbed two bandits who were covered in wounds and push them down in front of The Crown Prince’s horse.

“Kneel!”

The two men dressed like most of YueYang commoners knelt and did not dare to raise their heads.

“Please spare our life us sirs, please spare our lives!”

BeiYau raised his hand to his men.

“Take them and throw them in the palace prison” exclaimed BeiYau.

BeiYau drew closer to LuoXiang who was still glancing at the house which had been damaged due to the attack of his guards, since following the leads from one of the spies who was suspected of putting poison in BaiYing’s food they followed him and headed there, but LuoXiang felt that were many strange things, somehow that person confesses too fast, and in an instant, he also committed suicide after telling who the gang was, this is strange if he wants to die why bother to tell the secret? This is so weird.

“What does Your Majesty think?” Asked BeiYau.

LuoXiang pursed his mouth.

“Don’t you find anything strange Bei? On how quickly you guys find the culprit, it’s not like I doubt your abilities but this may have been planned quite carefully, there is no way that the culprit behind this would let his plan be ruined so quickly”

BeiYau lowered his head.

“Forgive my lack ness, Your Majesty, I also think this is a bit strange, we just followed the leads and arrived here so far, I also think this is too easy.”

LuoXiang took a deep breath, he pulled the bridle of his horse and turned to the street direction.

“Hey, let’s think about it later, while now we just following any leads, we better return to the palace now”

BeiYau nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty” he raised his hand ordering his men to return.

“Em, we stop by at the food shop, recently YingYing’s stomach has been troubled, not to mention he was just poisoned, so bad for him, he must be doesn’t have much appetite for dinner tonight, we will buy beef jerky that he likes.”

BeiYau stifled a laugh, how can His Majesty his lord understand someone other than himself so fluently.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau, he knew what his bodyguard was thinking.

“What do you think of Bei? YingYing is still a kid, he doesn’t need much other than good food, after all, it’s a pity that he has to be a victim this time.”

Along the way, the group walked quite casually.

“We are not sure if the attack was aimed at His Majesty, it could be that it was aimed at concubine Hua,” BeiYau said.

LuoXiang thought.

“Hmm, that’s it Bei, we cannot too sure for now which one are they after if it’s concubine Hua this means that even he’s outside or inside the palace, he still could be in danger, this is so worrying”
