Chapter 115: Chapter 115

115 Snake Attack!

BaiYing couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of Lui’s concubine who put tomato slices on both cheeks and kept falling.

“Hehehe, big sister, just lying down, let Ying’er help.”

Fan’er lowered her head and leaned back on her sloping chair.

“It’s because your mask is so slippery, how can I use something else like this?”

“Sister is moving too much, just sit still”

“Sis Fan’er is like a hot worm, ‘ said FuLan who was already sitting enjoying the facial mask treatment. She enjoyed their very relaxing facial treatment program.

“How can I sit silent, look at sister Yen’er also can’t being so busy from earlier, sister how can your face be so smooth, not even a single freckle due to mosquito or insect bites, I really want to have skin like yours”

BaiYing chuckled at the indirect praise of Fan’er, although concubine Lui is famous for her spicy mouth, she can also speak sweetly sometimes.

BaiYing frowned, he himself also felt strange, because as far as he remembered no insects or anything had ever bitten him, either because his blood tasted bitter, but the luck that didn’t bring him any luck was his long ago.

.....

.......

It didn’t take long for their facial treatment to end, and the sky slowly began to darken.

While Queen and Concubine Lui had already returned to their pavilion, BaiYing was still sitting enjoying his tea with Concubine Fu beside him. Some of the waiters were still busy serving them.

“It looks like it’s going to rain a lot tonight, look at the lightning striking so clearly there,” said FuLan seeing lightning that appeared instantly in the sky in front of them.

“Yeah, it looks like it’s going to rain a lot, Em Sis Lan’er wants to come to eat hotpot? Tonight Ying’er and His Majesty have already prepared the ingredients for the hot pot in the Dragon Pavilion, there’s a lot of sis, sister must join us,”

FuLan frowned in thought.

“Em, I don’t know, what if I disturb you guys?”

BaiYing waved his hand, FuLan’s words made his cheeks red with embarrassment.

“Sister, what’s disturbing? it won’t, Sis Yan and Sis Bi have already bought a lot of vegetables and meat, Ying’er was already planning to ask sister Lan’er to come along, it must be really fun, Sis.”

Lan’er nodded her head.

“Hehehe of course, everything related to the meal, of course, I’ll come too”

“Me too” came the third voice in their conversation, causing BaiYing and FuLan to turn their heads at the same time, to see who was standing in front of them with a confident face.

“Who’s invited you?” said FuLan looking at princess aYa with sharp eyes, but the princess whose figure resembled a rock didn’t move in place, she looked at BaiYing sharply, then stepped forward and pulled BaiYing’s hand up from his seat, unexpectedly by BaiYing and FuLan who were surprised.

“Hey, let go of my hand”

The princess’s grip was so hard it pulled the young man’s hand towards the road.

“Hurry up, I’m already hungry.”

FuLan tried to let go of the princess’s grip on BaiYing.

“Hey you, it’s so impudent to pull someone like that, take your hand off Ying’er”

A chase ensued between AYa who grabbed BaiYing’s hand and FuLan who tried to free BaiYing from the shameless girl.

“Eh Princess, please let go of my hand”

Until they arrived at the end of the road, where a tall person was already standing in the middle, looking intently as if ready to kill his enemy.

AYa’s steps stopped, because there was only one road so she couldn’t dodge in another direction, the person who was none other than the Crown Prince glared at her.

“How dare you touch my YingYing”

While Princess aYa was still frozen in place, LuoXiang pulled BaiYing’s hand from the girl’s grip, threw her hand, causing the little girl to lose her balance, and fell on her palms.

“Akh”

The Crown Prince did not expect, he thought his hand was so light, but it could hit the body of a princess who was an expert in internal energy and martial arts to fall so easily.

BaiYing opened his eyes wide, he let go of the Crown Prince’s grip and helped the princess.

“Princess, are you all right?” As he lowered his body trying to help the girl up, BaiYing’s eyes glanced sharply at the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, why are you so harsh on her, look at her blistered hands”

The Crown Prince pulled his lips, the girl was very good at pretending to be weak in front of BaiYing.

“Heh”

Shortly after, still in the Peach pavilion.

BeiYau held princess aYa on a chair while the Crown Prince stood in front of her, looking at her intently, no one dared to approach not to mention BaiYing who was standing not far behind the Crown Prince with Lan’er and her two maids.

“The snake is from out of town, you are the princess who has traveled a long way to the palace, who knows what is in your luggage.”

Princess aYa saw the serious face of the Crown Prince who seemed to suspect him, she clenched her fist.

“I can’t bring the snake along if that’s Your Majesty’s means,” said AYa.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The servant aMi who had been behind princess aYa lowered her body to kneel to the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, f-forgive this servant for interrupting, but there is no way princess bring along the snakes, princess, she was very scared of snakes since she was little, so, it is impossible for her to take them with her,” said AMi in a voice stuttering with trepidation.

Aya glanced at aMi sharply.

“Ami what are you talking about”

The Crown Prince took a sharp breath, although he didn’t want to believe it, indeed the possibility of her carrying the snake was very small, even though the princess departs from Kili but the snake came from the opposite direction, and also if wanted to hurt YingYing the princess should have known that at that time YingYing was not in the room so it was a waste to put the snake there.

LuoXiang glanced at her, turned his body towards BaiYing, and found a servant approaching while carrying a teapot with him and placing it on the table beside BaiYing, the moment their eyes met, the slightly rounded maid seemed to be surprised.

Quickly the male servant retreated half-kneeling after placing the teapot on the table.

LuoXiang thought because it was a new maid and it was probably the first time seeing him then, not bothering to worry, he approached BaiYing again and pulled his hand away.

“Come on YingYing, let’s go back to the pavilion, our hotpot is waiting”

BaiYing was still stuttering, still looking at Princess aYa who still looked shocked.

“Princess drinks tea, please” the maid brought the teapot to her and poured it out, but, no water came out, for a moment aMi frowned, the contents were too light according to her, aMi opened the lid of the kettle, instantly her eyes widened and threw the kettle away from his hands on the ground until they broke.

“Ah, snake!”

The sound of her shouting made everyone especially princess aYa startled, the girl didn’t dare move in her seat when she saw a small snake coming out of the broken kettle, BaiYing let go of the Crown Prince’s grip and quickly ran over.

“YingYing!” when it happened so quickly that it was too late for LuoXiang to hold the young man’s hand.

“Snake! Help!” aMi screamed and tried to approach the princess who was confronted by the snake, the small snake that felt threatened opened its mouth wide revealing its fangs full of venom, then shot towards aYa who was still stunned.

“No princess!”

BaiYing, who was approaching quickly threw his body towards the princess aYa, he thought he would knock the princess off from the chair so she wouldn’t be bitten by the snake.

Brukk!!

“YingYing!” cried the Crown Prince loudly.

It happened so fast, he regretted why he didn’t hold BaiYing’s hand tighter, BeiYau pulled out his longsword and in an instant cut the snake in half.

Sheets!

LuoXiang walked over to BaiYing and AYa who fell to the ground.

“YingYing”

He turned BaiYing’s body on the ground who was still smiling at him.

“Heh Your Majesty”

“Stupid boy, what are you doing?” BaiYing slowly closed his eyes, and slumped weakly in his hand, LuoXiang’s eyes went wide, right at BaiYing’s back there was a small spot of blood.

“No Ying Ying!”

Without thinking too long, the Crown Prince lifted BaiYing’s limp body, who was unconscious, and ran out of the pavilion.

“Your Majesty!” cried Yan and Bi, who had no idea what had happened so quickly.

FuLan tried to match the steps of the Crown Prince.

“Ying’er”

“Summon a healer quickly!” cried the Crown Prince hurriedly running while carrying BaiYing.

“Yes Your Majesty!” replied the two BaiYing maids.

“Bei, go after the maid who delivered the kettle just now, catch him alive!” cried the Crown Prince, BeiYau who was running behind him nodded,

“Yes, Your Majesty” he stopped his running and led some of his men to chase in another direction.

While aYa was still in a daze from what had just happened, her eyes were still wide open looking at the snake that had been split in two in front of her, her maid aMi approached her.

.....

“Princess, are you all right?”

Aya stuttered, she still didn’t expect that the young man would throw his body in front of her, saving her from the snake attack.

“Ying’er”

.....

The rain just stopped and left puddles that were instantly mixed with mud, the path formed several holes which the water immediately dispersed as the sturdy legs of the big horse stepped on it, several rows of young men in YueYang guard armor covering part of the road, flags light blue fluttered in the hands of the commander who was at the frontline.

LiuYang City, on the border with Kili, a large valley and city with a very small population due to the soil conditions in LiuYang which is difficult to cultivate, some dry with sandy soil which is difficult to grow rice or vegetables, so many residents choose to leave LiuYang one by one until all the generations were no longer left, only the citizens who had no other choice and had to survive there.

The YueYang palace official group had just visited the city, passing through the gate with a troupe of guards at the front, a golden carriage in the middle, and another bodyguard.

At the back, the window curtains were drawn, a high-ranking official caught the attention of the citizens on the street, the senior advisor YueWang with his right-hand man, eunuch Sheng inside the carriage.
