CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

90 Sneak In

While the two of them were seriously talking, someone was peeking down from the roof, someone who was none other than Mu’er who was clenching her fists with her sharp and shining eyes, her face not like the gentle Mu’er like everybody knew her, she is like someone else.

“Then, are you going to tell His Highness the Crown Prince? Yen’er, maybe with this I can get out of this terrible place, I can be free from accusations, right?” FuLan grabbed BaiYing’s hands.

BaiYing couldn’t promise anything, no matter what, the evidence and witnesses about the person who tied the glass string that caused Xiao’er to fall still Concubine FuLan, it’s hard for her to free from punishment, BaiYing took a deep breath, he didn’t expect everything turned out like this, why did the problem become so complicated?

“Heh”

In front of the Cold pavilion, Concubine’s Ye maids looked confused for not seeing the whereabouts of that concubine, until suddenly she appeared from behind the trees not far in front of them.

“Your Majesty” greeted the two little maids, concubine Ye smoothes her hair, she smiles sweetly at her maids.

“Come on, let’s head back to the pavilion, we’ll continue our painting class.”

The two little maids nodded as they followed behind.

“Yes Your Majesty”

.....

...

Krek.

The sound of the bedroom door opening from outside.

The Crown Prince came into BaiYing’s room, as usual, every night, he would never miss it, it was late, and it seemed that BaiYing was fast asleep on his bed, after removing the outer layer of his clothes and hanging them next to BaiYing’s clothes, he approached the bed, pulling the blanket away and lay behind him.

“Heh YingYing, you weren’t waiting for me?” he immediately climbed onto the bed hugging BaiYing’s waist from behind, and it seemed that the young man had indeed fallen asleep, the Crown Prince lifted his head, caressed BaiYing’s forehead, and kissed him.

“This kid, you don’t know how I miss you so much, why don’t you wait for me and go to sleep, hmh, I’m so tired too”

The Crown Prince closed his eyes while hugging BaiYing from behind, BaiYing opened his eyes, he hasn’t slept yet, he just doesn’t want to meet and talk to the Crown Prince first at this time because he would spill out everything he thinks, and that’s not necessarily true, he doesn’t want to accuse the wrong person before he finds other important evidence, BaiYing can still hear the sound of the Crown Prince breathing very tired as he hugs him tightly.

“Heh YingYing, why do you make me unable to stop thinking about you all day, what have you done to me, hemh My YingYing has bewitched me”

.......

Chit chit chit.

The sound of a small bird, flying lightly from above the trunk of the plum tree growing around the palace and playing on the grass, gathered food in its small beak and flew back up to the tree branch.

Chit chit chit chit.

BaiYing was seen walking with his maids, Yan and Bi, sneaking around the Lili pavilion, that morning coincidentally from Yan’s close friends, they got information that concubine Ye was out for breakfast with her relatives on the other side of the Palace, who’s nonother was one of the top officials at the Imperial Palace, so that morning BaiYing and his maid had time to sneak around.

The original plan was to enter the pavilion, bringing the facial mask and beauty scrub for concubine Ye, because concubine Ye was not there so BaiYing would ask permission to enter and use the restroom inside her room.

After entering, Yan and Bi will wait outside the room while BaiYing will check around Concubine Ye’s room, the main goal is to find evidence of whatever it’s, like maybe the small sharp object that Concubine Ye used to hit Xiao’er’s back. According to officer Lie’s, Xiao’er’s back has wounds resembling a rather large sharp object stab that made her in pain and couldn’t control herself, in BaiYing’s memory, concubine Ye threw her hand against the horse, so the possibility of the sharp object was not bigger than the palm of her hand, stupid BaiYing, how could concubine Ye be so naive to hide that object in her room, what he was looking for exactly?

BaiYing pulled a few drawers on the table, glanced under the bed, checked on the bed, under the mattress, there was nothing suspicious, then returned to the dressing table, pulled the small drawers under the table, opened the jewelry box, checked it one by one.

Brak, bang, prak.

Until his eyes found something in one of the drawers where concubine Ye kept the powder.

His eyes wrinkled, saw the folded paper resembling the paper for wrapping medicine and such, there was a logo he was quite familiar with.

“This”

He remembered the logo, the folded paper he saw when BeiYau’s men had searched Yan and Bi’s room. This was the paper logo where the Red Flower poison was found. Slowly, BaiYing unfolded the paper, very carefully, his eyes widened at the sight of the yellow powder in the folded paper, it wasn’t that much, but if it was Red flower poison, it was definitely enough to kill anyone.

BaiYing coughed a little as a bit of smoke from the powder was blown by the wind. This is bad, he quickly closed the folded paper again, he could be poisoned if he did this.

“Cough cough”

BaiYing put the folded paper, back in its place, he stood up quickly waving his hand.

“Cough cough!” but, he probably inhaled too much powder until his vision now is blurry, his head hurts so bad, his chest is tight, it’s bad, is he’s being poisoned? Again?

BaiYing tried to reach for the door, he needed to get out of there as fast as he could, but, just one step away from the table, his body limply fell on the floor.

Brukk!

Immediately unconscious.

Outside the room, Yan and Bi started to get restless when BaiYing hadn’t come out of the room, it’s been too long, he said it was only for a while but why did it take so long, soon concubine Ye will return to the pavilion, both of them glanced nervously at each other, should they check into the room? The two of them pushed each other until a voice came from outside.

“What are you doing here? Did Yen’er sister tell you to deliver masks and scrubs?” asked concubine Ye who suddenly appeared at the door, the two young maids were shocked, concubine Ye came back very quickly.

Mu’er looked around, she didn’t see BaiYing anywhere.

“Oh, where’s Yen’er’s sister?” she asked one of the old maids who was her butler, the old woman pointed towards the room.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Her Majesty Concubine Hua asked permission to use the restroom in the room, she is still inside the room now”

Concubine Ye opened her eyes wide.

“Really? Sister Yen’er, maybe have a stomach ache again, little sister Yen!” Mu’er exclaimed closer to the room, Yan and Bi were nervous, what if concubine Ye found concubine Hua rummaging through her room, this is so bad, the two of them followed Mu’er to the room, the petite concubine opened the door of her room wide.

“Sister Yen’er, you have a stomach ache, don’t you?”
