CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Miss, according to old man Xu, it’s likely that those people are from the capital Hei An, they could be the warriors hired by the empire to help with the disaster a few days ago, those people are so formidable, looks like we have no other choice than retreat,” said the young woman.

Miss Hu put her teacup down on the table, still tapping the table with her long, slender fingernails, which were beautifully decorated with glistening stones.

“Hmm, to retreat is not our choice, Mu, let’s wait until tomorrow since that old man Xu said he would give up that person no matter what, I wonder what that idiot can do”

“Miss Hu, do you really trust that old man? He might have other plans for things that happened in his house now.”

Miss Hu turned with sharp eyes on the young woman beside her.

“What do you mean, by other plans? What could that stupid old man and his wife and also his innocent kids do? Apart from his two beautiful daughters and being so obedient, that old man doesn’t have any interest in anything at all, that’s why Mrs Mao chose him as the village chief at that time.”

“Well, yeah, but they took the wrong step in luring people who came in groups, didn’t Miss warn us not to make any trouble with people more than two? but look at those people, there’s a lot of them, they could ruin our plan” said the young woman.

Her words made Miss Hu think, she nodded.

.....

“Hmm, that’s right, they have a large number, not to mention very good fighting skills, looks like we have to retreat, we will be in trouble if they start doing something that can destroy us all, come on, we better get out of here immediately”

The young woman nodded, she straightened her body and moved away to approach the others.

“Yes, miss”

Miss Hu stood up from her seat, looks like she really shouldn’t waste too much time there, but, just as she stood up, she heard the familiar sound of an owl coming from the house.

Kukukk kukukk.

It was a secret code that old man Xu told her if he’s made it on his plan. Does he?

Miss Hu called the other girls to get back closer and watched what would appear from the little side door which only the family would know about. It’s located along the outer wall of the Xu family’s house at the very end behind the dense trees.

“Mu, look like that old man managed to bring someone out,” said Miss Hu.

From the dim light of the oil lamps that hung around the tent, Miss Hu and her girls saw several people appear from behind a small door carrying someone on his back, he was old man Xu.

His daughters Xu Li and Xu Yi also joined in.

“Miss, we did it” shouted the old man impatiently approaching Miss Hu while carrying someone quite heavy on his shoulders.

Miss Hu frowned, the person on the old man’s shoulder must not the tall, big man they had seen this afternoon, it couldn’t be because his body was so big and the old man definitely wouldn’t be able to carry him so easily, then, who is that?

“Old man, who is this? Why did you bring him instead of that big tall man who raped your daughter?” Miss Hu asked, seeing someone who was unconscious, lowered from the man’s shoulders onto the chair behind Miss Hu, he was Bai Ying who looked unconscious.

Old man Xu pointed at Bai Ying.

“Well, what can I do, I can’t take that big, tall man with me, that man is so big and strong, not to mention his bodyguards are ready to kill me even when I tried to get near him, it’s highly impossible. And coincidentally, this child is that man’s favourite. You said to bring out at least one of them”

Miss Hu looked at Bai Ying’s helpless face, and lifted his chin to take a closer look at his smooth white face with a little red on his rosy cheeks, the young man really had a very attractive face.

“Hehe, of course, Mrs Mao wouldn’t expect that we brought home a fairy this time, it’s very interesting. Come on Mu, don’t waste time, we have to get out of here immediately.”

Miss Hu’s young ladies nodded in unison.

“Yes Miss”

....

Morning comes.

Bei Yau entered the room where the Crown Prince sat enjoying his morning tea as if nothing had happened.

“Your Highness”

Luo Xiang put the cup slowly on the saucer, holding his breath for a moment before throwing it away heavily.

“Heh, that brat, what was he thinking?”

Luo Xiang turned to Bei Yau. He didn’t have time to ask when Chen Ming followed by Xiao Hong entered in a hurry.

“Rotten Crown Prince! Why are you sitting here quietly, my brother is missing since dawn you should have looked for him, why are you still so calm sitting and enjoying your breakfast as if nothing happened!” shout Chen Ming. He was about to charge towards the Crown Prince but Bei Yau held him,

“Prince Chen”

Chen Ming furious, pulled his hand away from Bei Yau who was holding him so tightly enough that Xiao Hong had to pull Bei Yau’s hand away from him.

“Guard Bei, please don’t be so rude.”

He almost pushed Bei Yau’s body if it weren’t for Chen Ming holding him.

Luo Xiang pursed his lips, Prince Chen did physically resemble Bai Ying, so it wouldn’t be weird for those two men to openly fight over him.

He put his hand on his temple as if enjoying some very good show right in front of him.

“Are you guys going to keep making a fuss there?” Luo Xiang asked.

Bei Yau realized that he step back and let Chen Ming and Xiao Hong move forward. Chen Ming stares at Crown Prince with his big round sharp eyes.

“Are you really going to leave little brother alone there?” he turned towards the door where a young guard was already holding old man Xu’s hand outside. He ask the young man to bring old man Xu in and pushed him to his knees in front of the Crown Prince.

“Please forgive Servant, Young master”

“This old sly”

Chen Ming almost stepped on the old man in anger if it wasn’t because Bei Yau holding him.

“Prince, please calm down”

Bei Yau holds Chen Ming preventing him from hitting the helpless old man, and again Xiao Hong intervened by pulling Chen Ming’s hand towards him and throwing giving himself in front of Bei Yau instead.

“Guard Bei don’t let me say it again!” he exclaimed.

It was so chaotic, with Chen Ming’s high voice, while Bei Yau and Xiao Hong were like kids fighting over a toy. The Crown Prince would just ignore them and continue enjoying his tea again.

“Rotten Crown Prince!” but again, Chen Ming exclaimed.

The noise of the commotion made the peace dispersed. The Crown Prince finally waved his hand at the guards in the room to get them out of the room. The few young guards lowered their heads and retreated in an orderly fashion. Chen Ming frowned.

“Old man stands up,” said Luo Xiang to old man Xu who was trembling in fear on the floor.

Bei Yau helped the old man up, although he didn’t dare to raise his head because of Chen Ming’s gaze on him, he could kill him without blinking, the old man thought. Chen Ming turned his head back towards the Crown Prince.

“He gave my brother to the old woman, I heard Mrs Xu say it, why can you be so calm at a time like this? Brother might be in danger!” he exclaimed.

Luo Xiang looked at Chen Ming who did look really worried, he couldn’t help but be angry. His fists were tightly clenched and his breath panting, Crown Prince felt sorry for him.

“Prince Chen, you were able to find your brother so easily, do you still need my help? Besides, do you really not know how capable your brother really is?” Luo Xiang asked.

Luo Xiang’s question made Chen Ming want to shout in response, but, he hold it. That’s right, he had completely forgotten about that, moreover, about his little brother’s abilities.

“Brother..”

Cleck.

The sound of the teacup slowly being put back on the saucer.

Chen Ming stuttered, what was on his mind all this time? His anxiety made him not think clearly. He saw the Crown Prince who was as usual having a very flat expression, did he ever show his emotions?

“It’s mean?”

Luo Xiang saw Chen Ming who looked a bit confused for a long time, then pulled his lips.

“I thought you know very well how your brother, which poison and drugs can paralyze him? Is there anything in this world that can beat him? Indirectly, your sweet and cute spoiled little brother is the strongest person in the universe. You don’t think he’s really helpless, aren’t you?”

Chen Ming’s expression changed, he was already feeling very embarrassed to have been emotional earlier, getting angry without thinking clearly. That’s right, his cute and innocent little brother is the most powerful Realm King anywhere, has he tricked him?

“That rotten spoiled brat”
