Chapter 127: Chapter 127

127 The Pain

“Your Majesty, look at that, what kind of animal is that? It’s so cute” BaiYing exclaimed when he saw some residents on the roadside who attracted white furry animals with long legs and adorable cute faces.

“It’s called Alpaca.”

BaiYing’s eyes couldn’t stop admiring him, of course, it was the first time he saw it.

“Wow, it’s so cute, the fluffy white fur-like rabbit, can I touch it, Your Majesty?”

“Yeah, YingYing later, right now just sit still or you might fall.”

The sound of the bell hanging from the neck of the Alpaca’s walking neatly from head to butt attracted the attention of other pedestrians who immediately gave way, even when the carriage had moved away BaiYing’s head was still trying to see the furry animals.

“Your Majesty, can I take them home? Looks like they will grow up healthy in Peony Valley, oohh they are so cute” exclaimed BaiYing whose voice reached BeiYau who was behind, another smaller carriage belonging to the concubines and maids following behind.

Klop klop klop.

“YingYing sit properly!” Crown Prince’s loud voice.

.....

........

Arriving at the inn outside DuAn city, the group rented a villa large enough for the entire group to live in, the Lie family’s home. It was late into the night with a non-stop journey from downtown LiuYang for a day and a night and they were finally able to stretch their legs a bit to relax in the quite beautiful villa.

The Crown Prince sat on the front seat of the back garden where BaiYing and his two maids, and concubine Fu ran along the playground running to and fro tirelessly, catching whoever lost the whistle and had to do everyone’s wish when he was caught, saw and heard their laughter on the field made LuoXiang unable to take his eyes off, he even laughed a few times seeing BaiYing who was about to fall being pulled by the girls, a boy who was too young for his age with everything that was going on around him, he still had such a beautiful laugh that never faded from his sweet face.

“Hahahaha come on aYa, come join us”

BaiYing finally pulled AYa’s hand who was just standing on the edge of the field, the princess certainly didn’t know what YueYang’s game was, she looked very stiff even though she had to run away when being chased by BaiYing and others.

“Hehehehe aYa you have to run, if you don’t run, what’s the fun of catching you,” said FuLan seeing AYa who was standing dreamily where she was standing, for a moment still hesitated, so she couldn’t help but run away when BaiYing wanted to catch her.

“Hahahaha aYa if you get caught you have to dance like a frog huh!” BaiYing exclaimed aYa who nimbly dodged.

“It’s you, who going dance like the frogs.”

The Crown Prince put down his teacup.

“Heh, that kid, he’s still a young kid who loves to play, I was wrong to invite a bunny, why is he so adorable,” he said to himself.

Shortly from the door, BeiYau entered, his personal guard had just searched for the truth about the information his subordinates had obtained, he bowed his head beside the Crown Prince.

“Report Your Majesty, there is a movement of the Black Water Clan on the west side outside the city, as expected they apparently spread out their men to look for YiFang, my subordinates also heard that one of the most important prisoners of the Black Clan had also been taken away by YiFang.”

The Crown Prince stopped his hand movements, he glanced at BeiYau.

“Important prisoner?” LuoXiang thought deeply, he saw BaiYing running from a distance.

“Could it be, it was the great master OuYang? According to his disciple, he was chased by people dressed in black and veiled, possibly indeed from the Black Water Clan, although that’s uncertain, how do you get YiFang out to meet us?”

“Your Majesty, YiFang is a fugitive from the palace, he is the suspect in the Hua family massacre, how could he just show himself, that would mean he would return to being our prisoner”

LuoXiang nodded.

“That’s right, that person somehow became one of the perpetrators of the Hua family massacre, even though he didn’t directly kill BaiYing’s parents but he also became one of the people from the Black Water Clan who became the perpetrator. I don’t know what he planned, not back being one of the Clan leaders and living comfortably, instead, he seems to be looking for enemies everywhere.”

BeiYau frowned.

“I thought, YiFang might be taking revenge for Young Master, however, until now he didn’t even know who was behind the Hua family’s massacre order, so he wouldn’t stop either”

LuoXiang nodded.

“I think so too, this guy has very good martial arts skills, it’s a shame that he uses it for wrong things, otherwise he might be able to fulfill his promise to protect YingYing.”

As the two of them were seriously talking, a groan could be heard from the field.

“Aww”

The Crown Prince opened his eyes wide, saw BaiYing who fell down sitting in the middle of the field groaning holding his feet.

“Ouch it hurts, sis”

“aYa why you push Ying’er that hard?” exclaimed FuLan looking at AYa with sharp eyes, aYa stuttered, she did not accidentally push the young man when he was about to catch her.

“Eh that”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Crown Prince held his breath,

“Heh kid, why does he always hurt himself” without waiting any longer he rushed to the field.

........

Not long after at BaiYing’s room.

“Akh, Your Majesty, please be gentle” BaiYing groaned trying to hold LuoXiang’s hand to massage his sprained ankle.

“Don’t move too much, physician Wan said your leg is okay just a little swollen, just need to rub it with ointment otherwise the swelling won’t go away”

BaiYing tried to hold the Crown Prince’s hand.

“Yeah but don’t too hard, instead of getting better I think it’s getting worse”

“This kid, sit properly”

“Aww it hurts”

LuoXiang’s hand held BaiYing’s ankle which was a little blue,

“That aYa, is she not aware that her strength is so strong when she pushes someone like that? Don’t play with her again next time, see what happens?”

BaiYing pursed his lips, occasionally biting his lips edges in pain as LuoXiang’s big and strong hand that was yet so gentle hit the bruises that hurt to the touch. He remembered this afternoon when he was playing a game, aYa was right behind him when he suddenly turned around the girl looked so shocked that she pushed him hard.

“Ah!” BaiYing couldn’t help but fall heavily, fortunately, he only injured his leg, his fault for having shocked the princess.

“Heh, it’s all my fault, Your Majesty, for being careless, it’s not her’s”

LuoXiang raised his hand to flick BaiYing’s forehead which made the young man moan again.

“Aww, Your Majesty, I’m in pain now, why do I get flicked again, my brain can damage for always be beaten”

“Let it be, what’s the difference with now which already being so stupid”

BaiYing pursed his lips in annoyance, he saw Crown Prince with his sharp eyes.

“I’m not!”

“Not stupid then what? Idiot? YingYing doesn’t realize that the princess likes you, why do you still keep approaching her?”

“Well, how can I stay away, she’s a good person, always shares her food with Ying’er, also doesn’t hesitate to bring Ying’er things when we move, Princess aYa has also recently started to improve her speech, she’s great at science martial arts, Ying’er will learn from her later”

LuoXiang purposely tightened his massage on BaiYing’s feet until the boy continued to whimper and gripped onto his clothes tightly.

“Ackh Your Majesty it’s hurt, slowly, Ying’er’s feet may hurt even more tomorrow”

“The journey back to the palace is still far but you have injured yourself, this kid is a real magnet for trouble”

As LuoXiang continued to grumble BaiYing who was in pain watching something was right beside his hand, the loose powder he used to wear when he felt itchy, while LuoXiang was still talking BaiYing picked up a powder and patted it on LuoXiang’s hair, the white powder instantly fell on top of his head, just as LuoXiang lifted his face up to his face which all white cause of it.

LuoXiang’s eyes stared intently at BaiYing, while the young man tried not to laugh.

“BaiYingYing, you..”

But the Crown Prince’s face which was all white with powder looked so cute that BaiYing couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahahahaha Your Majesty is so funny”

LuoXiang tried to wipe the powder off his face and put the powder on BaiYing’s, who laughed so hard.

“Hahaha”

“This kid”

The Crown Prince pushed BaiYing onto the bed and tickled him, making him even more unable to stop his extremely satisfied laugh.

“This naughty boy”

“Hahahaha Your Majesty’s face is like a clown”

The Crown Prince took the powder and replied to BaiYing.

“This is another clown”

BaiYing’s laughter grew louder, the Crown Prince tried to reach his face and hold his little body on the bed, he even forgot about the pain in his legs.

“Hahaha”

But, as BaiYing laughed louder and louder, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest,

“Akh” was like being stabbed by a knife so sharp that BaiYing almost ran out of breath. Seeing the young man suddenly quiet and holding his chest made LuoXiang look at him anxiously.

“YingYing, what happens?” he asked, BaiYing took a deep breath, the pain seemed to squeeze his heart, the Crown Prince’s voice disappeared for a moment, and he could hear the sound of a creature groaning in pain very clearly.

“Arrgghhhh!”

.....

However, when LuoXiang’s hand shook his hand, the voice disappeared, and he could clearly hear the Crown Prince’s anxious voice returning.

“YingYing what happened?”

Everything disappeared, the pain also disappeared, BaiYing shook his head seeing the Crown Prince’s worried look on him.

“Hehe it’s okay Your Majesty, suddenly I feel, my leg hurts a lot, ouch”

LuoXiang pulled his lips, still looking at BaiYing worriedly, he sat back on the edge of the bed and helped BaiYing sit back down.

“You, I’d told you not to move too much, just lie down after this take some medicine from the healer so you can sleep”

LuoXiang slowly helped BaiYing lie down, and pulled the blanket over his body, BaiYing held the Crown Prince’s hand as the young man was about to stand up from his place.

“Your Majesty, accompany me to sleep.”

The Crown Prince looked at BaiYing’s face for a moment, then came forward to touch his cheek. He was about to clean himself first from the powder on his face but at that time he no longer paid attention to it, slowly lifted his two legs onto the bed, lowered his body, and lay down beside the young man, hugging his body that was sleeping sideways to him.

“Heh this kid, always get in trouble”

BaiYing thought, what he felt just now might not be a dream, it was too real for a dream, and that pain, he had never felt before, but, since that night, since he came back from Deep forest, no, since the bloodstone is no longer in his body, all the pain in his chest is getting worse day by day, in fact, he seems to be able to see something that is not his sight, hear something that is not his, but, what is this? What happened to him?

BaiYing didn’t want to think about it too much, he raised his arms around the Crown Prince’s chest to hug him tightly, the Crown Prince’s heartbeat calmed him down, the sound he loved every night, when he heard it, he could sleep very soundly.

“Hmm, Your Majesty”

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s hair gently, kissed his forehead, and hugged him tightly, he didn’t want to think about it, however, he did feel that there was a change in his YingYing, a change that he didn’t want to know about, and, wished, if all, only in his mind.

“Heh my YingYing”
