CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

132 Snow Falls at XianYang

General Po approached the Crown Prince who was standing in deep thought.

“Your Majesty, I feel that this matter has indeed become very big, Your Majesty should not rush to jump to conclusions, the level one order plaque of the Palace can be forged, anyone can do it, in my opinion, it is very unlikely that His Majesty ordered the assassination. His Majesty The Emperor really loves Concubine Lu so much, he was devastated when he heard of Concubine Lu’s death, so Your Majesty should think with a cool head.”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath, he tried to think positively.

“Heh, this whole thing is very confusing, but, I also thought, if it’s really father’s mastermind, he won’t stop and put in all his tortuous efforts to finish off the Hua family, what’s the benefit? Father is an Emperor who has unlimited influence and power, to finish the family in an instant without a trace can be done so easily, let alone to make it difficult, General Po need not worry, this matter, of course, I will ask my father directly when I back to the palace later

.................

The sound of the flowing fish pond water created a calm atmosphere on the edge of the pond, the fish with big mouths welcomed the fish pellets that BaiYing had scattered into the middle of the pond, his two innocent legs swayed sitting on the edge of the pond at the back of the Deer bungalow, what warm weather.

AYa was seen sitting not far behind her enjoying the morning air while cleaning her shiny sword with a clean cloth, the girl occasionally looked at BaiYing who was very happy enjoying his time with a nonstop smile on his face, she was not alone, not far beside her was concubine Fu sitting served by two of her maids were cleaning her curly fingernails and the other was tying her hair.

“Brother Ying, do you want to stay here for a long time?” asked FuLan, BaiYing turned his head, of course, he nodded.

“Yes, Grandpa Po is very kind to Ying’er, and Ying’er has also said that Ying’er will accompany him to enjoy his old age, this house is good, isn’t it? It’s fun, even though it’s a bit cold.”

.....

Aya looked at the sky around her, even though there was sun but the clouds were thick white so it seemed a bit dark, the air was also blowing cold.

“At times like this the air is at its coldest peak, I heard that the Xian Valley area is famous for being very cold so sometimes it will snow,” she said, hearing Aya’s words, BaiYing turned his head, he lifted his two legs and sat facing Aya.

“Really? Will it snow? Wow, this is great.”

FuLan frowned, she didn’t understand what the two people were talking about.

“Snowing? What is that brother? What, like rain?” she asked, BaiYing stood up and approached FuLan, sitting beside the young concubine.

“That’s sis, cold white granules, well I hope we can enjoy it before going back to SanPo, it’s been a long time since I saw snow”

“Have you seen it before?” asked FuLan.

BaiYing thought, somehow but in his memory, he knew he had seen snow falling from the sky, somehow BaiYing scratched his head.

“Hehe, it seems like, hehe”

The answer made FuLan pull her lips.

“Ich this kid”

..................

Night came, they didn’t realize that they had spent several days at General Po’s mansion, although they wanted to linger there, the Crown Prince needed to return to the palace to resume his duties, and, he also couldn’t wait to ask his father about what was actually happened ten years ago, it was time for him to ask after so many times always avoiding very sensitive questions and maybe changing his father’s mood.

LuoXiang had just finished a small meeting with BeiYau and didn’t find BaiYing in his room, according to his servant the boy was out enjoying the night air, what’s with the night air, the wind tonight is colder than any other day, he can catch a cold outside for too long. An anxious LuoXiang brought with him the thick, fluffy coat that General Po had given him, he thought the air would get colder, and worried that their winter clothes might not be able to withstand the cold air of XianYang city at that time, and for sure, when LuoXiang just set foot into the back garden where BaiYing was supposed to be, a snowflake fell right in front of his head, his palm opened to receive the cold fine grains that disappeared when it hit the heat of his hand.

“Waah it’s finally snowing” BaiYing’s voice, LuoXiang turned his head and found BaiYing standing with his arms outstretched in the middle of the garden with his two maids, they cheered.

“Oh, it’s snow, Your Majesty, it’s really snowing” Yan exclaimed, BaiYing raised his head to see more and more fine grains, the pitch-black sky spewing snow, really extraordinary.

“Hehehe, it’s very beautiful, sis” BaiYing said,

“It is, but you can get cold YingYing” the Crown Prince’s voice, the young man approached BaiYing who was standing in the middle of the garden, BaiYing’s two maids immediately lowered their bodies to salute.

“Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince”

BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared at the sight of the Crown Prince who approached him and put a coat on his back.

“Your Majesty, it’s snowing.”

It wasn’t long before the two maids excused themselves from leaving the two of them, the Crown Prince took a deep breath, put his coat on BaiYing’s back, and embraced him with his two big arms wrapped around his body.

“Heh, it’s beautiful, but, the air will be very cold, tonight, we can sleep closer,” whispered the Crown Prince.

The innocent BaiYing didn’t really pay attention to the Crown Prince’s words, he opened his two palms wide to see the snowflakes falling on his hands, a big smile with shining eyes that never stopped showing on his face.

“Fortunately, we can still see snow before we return, in SanPo it rarely snows, does it Your Majesty?” asked BaiYing, the Crown Prince thought.

“Um yeah, it seems like SanPo will only get cold, but in ChangSan, it has snowed several times, although not every year.”

BaiYing was silent, ChangSan the city, where his home is located, BaiYing remembered now, he had indeed seen snow at his house, it snowed quite a lot that night, suddenly a few memories flashed in BaiYing’s head.

“Hahahahaha”

Loud laughter, accompanied by a sinister face as a laughing person appeared in front of him, a person, whom he might recognize, but, his face was faint,

“Akh” The youth groaned, suddenly feeling his chest hurt unbelievably.

“YingYing what’s wrong?” The Crown Prince restrained BaiYing’s body which suddenly bent down in pain.

A few memories flashed through BaiYing’s head, as it was snowing in which a person with a huge tall figure stood in front of him that he had to look up and saw the snow falling on his head, someone who laughed With a hideous, ghost-like face with a big mouth and shiny eyes, BaiYing lowered his body to cover his ears as the laughter grew louder and louder in his ears.

“Hahahaha”

The sound of laughter was so loud that it deafened his ears no matter how hard it was to cover it.

The Crown Prince was anxious, he immediately restrained BaiYing’s suddenly limp body and saw the young man unconscious in his arms.

“YingYing! YingYing what happened?” without thinking LuoXiang picked up BaiYing and ran towards the bungalow.

“Yan, Bi! Call the healer Wan!” he exclaimed.

...................

“Snakes!” BaiYing was delirious, cold sweat dripping down his forehead while he continued to delirious from the heat, LuoXiang was worried, a moment ago BaiYing was still fine until he suddenly fell unconscious and now has a high fever, Prodigal healer Ou has sat down to examine him after physician Wan didn’t find anything odds other than cold, the Crown Prince felt it was more than that.

“Healer, what happened? Why is YingYing suddenly unconscious like this? At first, he was very happy to see Snow but suddenly he felt pain and unconscious”

Physician Ou lowered his head respectfully.

“Report Your Majesty, young master’s current condition is very strange, his heart rate is beating very fast and his body heat is rising sharply, servant, need to do a more thorough examination, if you don’t mind, I can treat young master with a needle to lower his heart rate to normal, that must be done as soon as possible so that young master can calm down.”

The Crown Prince looked at the bed, where BaiYing was occasionally struggling due to his nightmares, he approached and replaced his servant holding his hand, seeing BaiYing’s face which was red from the heat and his forehead furrowed from a very bad dream he has right now, he raised BaiYing’s hand which was tightly clenched and held it.

“Do whatever it takes healer, whatever can make YingYing better”

.................

Before long,

LuoXiang waited anxiously outside the room while the divine healer treated BaiYing inside, assisted by his two maids Yan and Bi. He didn’t stop walking here and there worried about what was going on inside, he should have been in the room and waiting for his BaiYing, but fewer people would be better for the treatment process, this is very worrying, how can it be nothing happened and suddenly BaiYing just fell unconscious, just when he thought everything was getting better, and this night, was going to be very long because the Crown Prince couldn’t sleep.

BeiYau who entered from the door approached quickly, lowered his head in front of the Crown Prince who was trying to calm down, and sat down on his chair.

“Report Your Majesty, there is news from my subordinates who are in LiuYang city, there was movement in the Inner forest and several battles involving the dragon ErWang, many black clothed people surrounded the cave and made ErWang put up a fierce fight, even though the dragon was so strong, still, my subordinates found a thick black blood that was supposed to be ErWang’s at the battle site.”

LuoXiang looked at BeiYau, frowning deeply.

“ErWang is a divine being, how could he let his guard down against some weaklings? Moreover, to be injured, what happened Bei?”

BeiYau shook his head.

“Servant also not sure whether it was the blood belonged to Erwang or not, but the very large in some places do not allow any man could lose that much blood, my men are still trying to chase the trail Erwang to ensure more”

“What the old man was still haven’t given up yet? What did he expect by attacking the dragon ErWang, who did he think he was? Want to violate the will of heaven and think that you can defeat this magical creature with the limited power it has? It’s ridiculous”
