CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

The palace guard had been tightened to layers, the strong winds shook the oil lamps that stood in every palace building, even extinguishing some of them. The silence of the Imperial palace where BaiYing was seen still sitting in the Emperor’s study waiting for news from the SanPo city gate, he sat anxiously, any hunger was gone, he didn’t feel well and his heart was beating fast.

BaiYing raised his head when he heard the sound of feet from outside.

Thump thump thump thump!!

“Report!” a young bodyguard ran in and lowered his body in front of the Emperor.

“Well please.”

The guard raised his head.

“Report Your Majesty, a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Immediately the little guard handed an envelope with the Crown Prince’s stamp into the Emperor’s hand.

.....

BaiYing was anxious as the Emperor tore up the letter and read it.

“Emh, the Crown Prince said that he had succeeded in repelling more than half of the NuMen army, and now General LinMo is hunting for the fleeing King MeYa.”

Hearing the news BaiYing opened his eyes wide and smiled, unable to hide his relief.

“Oh thank goodness, what, does this mean he will be returning to the palace soon?”

The Emperor handed the letter to YaoLie the advisor who always stood beside him, he nodded.

“Of course, what can I say, the NuMen army is too small for the Crown Prince, even though those people are just looking for trouble, I didn’t expect that King MeYa who was so level-headed would do something that would definitely not lead to anything good like this, he is too rash”

BaiYing glanced at ShinYa, somehow he felt the danger had not gone away, and just as he was thinking like that, there was a commotion outside the Dragon hall.

“Ahhh!”

The sound of screaming, until the weapons clashed, Bai Ying stood up quickly, like the sound of battle.

“Your Majesty” ShinYa approached.

The Emperor stood in his place while the special guards were on standby.

“What happened?” he cried, the head of the special bodyguard Emperor OuHuai’s personal bodyguard stood before the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, We’d better go back inside and take cover in a safe room,” the head guard shouted. The Emperor pointed at BaiYing.

“Concubine Hua, let’s take cover.”

The sound of the battle outside grew louder, even the building swayed due to the earthquake, BaiYing’s eyes flashed red for a moment, whatever they were waiting for had arrived at this time, he turned to guard Ou who was also waiting for him.

“Guard Ou, take His Majesty to safety, Master Shin, let’s get out.”

The Emperor opened his eyes wide, he still wanted to grab BaiYing’s hand but the young man rushed towards the door while Guard Ou pushed him away.

“Come on Your Majesty”

“No, concubine Hua! Ying’er!”

..........

The atmosphere in the Dragon courtyard was very chaotic, YueYang soldiers were falling against the many people in black clothes who appeared in great numbers, currently, the palace has been abandoned by the formidable army that the Crown Prince brought to guard the city’s defenses. Although the soldiers in the palace who are now led by Commander Hu of the Imperial palace and commander Liu of the Crown Prince’s palace were quite formidable the large number of people charged at once and caught all the soldiers, who were unprepared for battle off guard.

“Take care of the Dragon Hall!” cried commander Fu.

BaiYing came out of the hall, all the soldiers prepared to protect him, his eyes widened at how many tall people, dressed in black and voiced fierce like wild animals. The moonlight and the lighting of the lamp showed glimpses of the faces of the people who came to attack resembling as a beast, huge jawbones, sharp teeth like wolves, large eyes that seemed to be able to swallow anyone, who attacked with large weapons which were a mostly huge club with spikes and machetes, without reducing their strength hitting many YueYang warriors at once.

“Aargghhhh!!

BaiYing and ShinYa didn’t know where to start with so many attackers everyone was busy fighting back.

“Younger brother!”

When the situation was so critical, a voice was heard from the other side of the field, BaiYing opened his eyes wide to see who was standing at the end of the field. Concubine Fu and some of her maids.

“Sister! What are you doing here?”

BaiYing is worried, the situation is not safe and the attackers or the monsters don’t care who is in front of them, they will hit and kill fiercely, many fallen soldiers are seriously injured or even killed, those people attack blindly.

“Sister get back to the palace!” BaiYing exclaimed, but FuLan didn’t seem to hear it, even so, the girl tried to return to the gate to the Crown Prince’s palace but an assailant blocked their way.

“Ah! Brother, who are they?” Concubine Fu and her maids ran away to save themselves, instead of returning to the path they had passed earlier, they approached the battle arena.

BaiYing had to get close to him immediately, he couldn’t let the weak concubine Fu be on the battlefield looking to die.

“Sister, stay where you are!”

ShinYa gave off his protective aura all the way they approached the center of the arena, but the number of people attacking them overwhelmed them, BaiYing had to let out his fire knocking down a few people which made their bodies burn instantly, BaiYing didn’t care anymore if those people would die from his fire, they had already killed and injured a lot of YueYang soldiers.

“Ekh brother! ouch, why did we have to come here earlier” FuLan lowered her body near the tree sheltering with her servants, some monsters charged towards them but YueYang soldiers pushed them away, some blood splattered flew around FuLan and hit her clothes to her hair, she was getting more and more panic.

“Akkhh” her eyes widened, she had never experienced any battle before let alone seeing a dead person in front of her, she invited her servants to run away to find another safe place.

“Your Majesty” her little maid held Concubine Fu’s hand tightly and they ran away.

“Sister!” BaiYing made his way to Concubine Fu, and they weren’t that far away, he could see Concubine Fu who had her eyes wide open reaching out to her.

“Younger brother!” until something happened.

“Ah!”

BaiYing’s eyes widened as he saw something flash through Concubine Fu’s chest.

“Sreet!”

Concubine Fu opened her eyes wide, someone was already standing behind her wielding a sword so long it pierced her chest.

Like a slow-motion, BaiYing’s eye widened to see something he’s familiar with.

“No sister!” BaiYing quickly approached, waving his hand pushing whoever was standing behind Concubine Fu who was already bleeding profusely from her wound, fresh blood was also pouring out of her mouth.

“Sister! No sister Lan’er”

BaiYing approached and supported Lan’er as the girl fell limply on the ground, all her maids screamed loudly when they realized that Concubine Fu had fallen covered in blood.

ShinYa opened his eyes wide, the figure who was standing with a big smile behind FuLan just now, a white-clothed youth who fluttered lightly in the wind, even his white clothes were only slightly stained with blood even though he had just stabbed and pulled a long machete from Concubine Fu’s chest.

“You”

“Hehehe, we meet again here, too bad”

BaiYing couldn’t hold back his tears, his heart ached to see FuLan who was now lying in his arms, she dimmed.

“Ems sister, why are you here?”

FuLan smiled, even though she was still bleeding from her mouth, she still managed to smile and raised her hand to caress BaiYing’s cheek.

“Ekh, a sweet child, sis, worried about you, heh, thank goodness, y-you didn’t go”

BaiYing held FuLan’s limp hand.

“Sister no, Sis Lan’er can’t go, ems sister”

......

The great flags of NuMen fell on the ground, some were even still burning with the fire that had not been extinguished, the remaining soldiers had been led to the temporary detention room after all surrendered, in the terrible unequal battle between the YueYang troops and the NuMen, which although there were many but not as many as YueYang’s, they so arrogant by attacking in a place where they were sure to lose.

The Crown Prince saw King MeYa standing surrounded by YueYang soldiers, he definitely couldn’t fight back when his army was defeated by YueYang soldiers and had to concede their defeat, but, his eyes were still glaring, he even spat at the Crown Prince and almost hit him.

“Chih!”

LuoXiang smirked, he hated barbarians and filthy like this the most, the NuMen King didn’t change, but killing him ridiculously wasn’t fun for him either.

LuoXiang shook off the back of his magnificent military red robes and sat on his chair, enjoying the tea that had just been prepared. The battle was not as intense and severe as they thought, in fact, the NuMen army was nothing compared to his army, even though, many victims had fallen from both sides.

LuoXiang waved his hand at BeiYau.

“Release him, and let our guests sit”

But BeiYau didn’t seem to agree.

“Your Majesty”

King MeYa smirked.

“Hey, just kill me, don’t need to talk too much, I’m not a person who is afraid of death, everyone knows how great the Crown Prince of YueYang is to be able to finish off the NuMen Royal family at will, so just save your time and finish me now, or else, I might kill you.”
