CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Bai Ying nodded again.

“Yes Your Majesty, thank God, servant, also think, if Xin Hua, it is still too early to be able to walk alone after rising up, this country still needs a lot of learning, before running, at least we need to learn how to crawl and walk well first”

Luo Xiang smiled, he didn’t expect the little child in his arms to become so mature now, he wasn’t like Bai Ying who first came to the palace in the past, a young man who was weak and didn’t really want to care about many things.

Luo Xiang kissed Bai Ying’s cheek.

“Chup, my King has now grown up, I’m so proud of you, um, how about we test, if anything else has changed”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened as the Crown Prince lowered himself onto the bed.

“Eh Your Majesty, my hair is still wet!”

Luo Xiang pulled the blanket and covered the two of them in it.

.....

“No problem, I like my concubine wet like this”

“But Your Majesty, we can catch a cold later”

“I don’t care”

“Your Majesty, hahaha no, Your Majesty, it’s ticklish, ah! Stop it”

The servants in the room seemed blind and deaf, not daring to hear let alone see, just standing still in their respective positions.

“Ohh your smell is so tempting Consort Hua, don’t blame me for not sparing you for tonight okay?”

“Your Majesty!”

Bai Ying’s screams were even clear enough to be heard outside the bedroom door, where Yan and Bi were still standing there, the two just glancing at each other and smiling.

....

A vast expanse of snow. A cold wind blew carrying a fishy smell mixed with cold air and flew the Yue Yang army flag that fell on the snow. Along with the many reds that stain the pure snow white. Bodies fell, piles of bodies growing as far as the eye could see.

“Y-Your Majesty” Bai Ying, walking among the lifeless bodies around him, himself seemed to be quite badly injured, the blood didn’t stop flowing from his hands.

Everyone he knew, Guard Bei, Ye Lu, Chen Ming, Xiao Hong to Shin Ya and young master Xi, had all fallen victim.

The sound of the cold air blowing was clear enough as there was hardly any other sound there, he almost can’t move his knee forward because of his heartache at all the scene before his eyes. Until, Bai Ying’s eyes widened at what was in front of him, a golden sphere of energy, which was slowly swallowed up by the jet black aura.

A beautiful woman with long hair that fluttered in the wind, the loud sound of earrings hanging from her long hair down to the back of her waist. It was Queen Bo Yan, standing up, no, she didn’t stand up, the lower part of her waist was a snake body with jet black gleaming scales, wrapped around a person in the middle, who was none other than the Crown Prince who was already drooping helplessly with a body full of blood, fresh blood was even still oozing out from his mouth, with weak glazed eyes looking at him.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang couldn’t move, his entire body was almost paralyzed and the snake’s tail locked onto him tightly. Couldn’t even raise his hand.

“Y-Ying Ying”

“Your Majesty” Bai Ying was about to approach, he released a white flame in his palm, but Queen Bo Yan’s laughter stopped him.

“hahaha such an attractive young man, you are truly great, King of Realm, truly not an easy opponent, beautiful little boy, come and surrender your youth to this Queen, then, I will release this Beloved of yours, you, willing to die for him, right?”

Bai Ying stuttered, he was exhausted, from the start of the battle until now he had expended a lot of energy, from white flames, red fire, wind and stone, but, all useless, he might be able to win, but what about the others? Bai Ying was getting so weak now, his knees buckled at the thought of everything he knew, and now, only the Crown Prince was the victim before his eyes, he shouldn’t have brought them up against the queen in the first place. He lowered his knees in front of the Queen.

“Q-Queen, Ying beg, let go of His Majesty, let go of him, just take whatever you want, take it, but Ying beg you, please let him go”

Queen Bo Yan laughed loudly, she laughed so wide her voice echoed over the hills where the battle took place. Bai Ying was just about to raise his head when he heard something sharp pass above his head, his eyes widening, seeing how a sharp black snake tail slashed at the Crown Prince’s neck, sending the Crown Prince’s head flying in front of his eyes.

“Sheets!”

Bai Ying widen his eyes, almost couldn’t believe what he seeing now, but it was true, the Crown Prince’s head, already separated from his body, blinked weakly in front of him and smiled at him, one last time.

“Not! Your Majesty!!”

“Ying Ying!”

Bai Ying struggled, in his sleep, struggled so hard he screamed and woke up gasping for air. The Crown Prince was already holding two of his shoulders stopping him from getting hysterical.

“Ying Ying wake up!”

Bai Ying opened his eyes wide, cold sweat dripping down his face and body, without waiting he woke up and hug the Crown Prince very tightly.

“Hoh Hoh Hoh Your Highness, don’t go, don’t go!”

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying who was clutching his hand tightly as if he was really scared, his body was shaking, his chest was beating really fast, and he obviously had a bad dream just now. Luo Xiang smiled, stroking Bai Ying’s shoulder gently.

“Hey brat, it’s just a dream, it’s just a dream well, big brother isn’t going anywhere, calm down, take a deep breath and calm down”

Luo Xiang whispered softly in the young man’s ear until Bai Ying slowly calmed down, his breathing began to be controlled, trembling in his body slowly reduced.

“Heh, Your Majesty.”

Luo Xiang slowly lowered Bai Ying’s body back onto his pillow, stroking Bai Ying’s hair that was sticking to his cheeks from the cold sweat. The young man was still looking at him with a sad look, he had clearly had a very bad dream that made him very sad.

“Heh, it was just a bad dream, Brother isn’t going anywhere, we promised right?”

Bai Ying nodded, he took the Crown Prince’s hand and hugged him, trying to close his eyes again which was very tired and difficult to compromise, even after the nightmare he had just now.

“Your Majesty, don’t go, never leave Ying er, Your Majesty has sworn,” Bai Ying said as he hugged the Crown Prince’s hand and slowly drifted back to sleep. Luo Xiang smiled, he took a deep breath while stroking Bai Ying’s hair gently, lowered his head, and kissed the young man’s forehead.

“Didn’t brother swear to you, that we won’t leave each other? That’s our vow, heh, my sweet child” and dropped his forehead against Bai Ying’s forehead, closing his eyes.

“Hey Ying Ying”

........

The air is very cool and the wind is blowing gently in the Pai Hua valley, most of which used to be a valley of rocks, and has now turned into a very beautiful and spacious palace complex.

The sound of running water in the small stream along the Plum bungalow’s building sounded sweet, as the clear flowing water brought the plum flower petals that fell to the end of the creek.

Bai Ying’s room. The young man opened his eyes wistfully, and immediately a scenery of beautiful plum blossom which blooming on the branches sticking out long enough to almost pierce into the window.

As was the view in his room at the Plum Pavilion back then. Likewise with the warm sun pressing in caressing his face and the entire surface of the beautiful room.

Bai Ying turned his head, not finding the Crown Prince again beside him.

He was very tired plus the nightmare last night that he could still feel very clearly. All the feelings he felt were so real, that still made his chest hurt. Bai Ying looked at the maids standing not far from the bed, trying to make themselves invisible so as not to disturb his sleep, but he could see them clearly.

“Sister Yan, Sis Bi”

His two loyal personal maids immediately approached, extending their hands to help Bai Ying get up from his slumber.

“Your Majesty, you are awake.”

Bai Ying looked around the room, not finding the Crown Prince even there.

“Eh, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?” he asked.

Yan and Bi lowered their knees slightly before answering.

“Report Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince is having a morning practice with others in the valley, he said not to wake His Majesty as His Majesty looks very tired”

Bai Ying frowned.

“Training in the valley? The one in the back? Pai Hua Valley?” he asked.
