Chapter 13: Chapter 13

LuoXiang takes a looked at BaiYing.

“Em, tomorrow is my day off, how about if we take a ride to the valley behind the palace? You must be felt so bored staying at the pavilion these few days without doing anything.”

BaiYing stopped his hands which were still trying to figure out how to knit twig form for the flower in the white cloth in front of him, he turned to the Crown Prince to confirm whether that person was just kidding or serious with his word.

“Umm to the valley? Horse riding?”

LuoXiang nodded.

“Yeah, but don’t take too long, just until mid-noon since the physician said you shouldn’t be too tired.”

BaiYing confirmed it by looking at Luo Xiang.

.....

“Really?”

“Well, as an honorable Crown Prince, I can’t possibly lie, but if YingYing doesn’t want to...”

BaiYing nodded quickly before Luo Xiang’s words even stopped.

“Of course I want it! Tomorrow I’ll wake up early” BaiYing exclaimed.

LuoXiang chuckled, BaiYing’s reaction was unexpected, he looked like a kid who was so happy to be invited to the festival.

“Hehehe, no need to be too early, I’ll pick you up tomorrow,” said LuoXiang raised his hand to caress BaiYing’s head, the young man nodded fast.

“Um!”

“Hehehe this kid”

....

Ting ting ting ting!

The sound of swords clashing in the middle of the night.

Bodies flew lightly, falling from the second floor of the Lau inn in the middle of the city, along with loud moans and screams, anyone who wanted to survive immediately fled the fighting area of the large inn.

The empty street, which was still wet from the rain and formed some pool in the middle of the streets, had just turned muddy and red with blood which still spattered around the area.

Some people in all black clothes and veil, slashed the men who looked like swarms of robbers with their sharp long swords with ease, not letting go of a single life, even those who ran out of the inn with their bodies full of wounds had to fall pitiful with the long swords stuck in their back.

“Akh!”

The bodies pile up.

Shortly after, the men in black gathered in the middle of the streets after confirming all of their prey were killed. All of them bowing their heads greeted someone who had gotten off the horse carriage, from the luxurious clothes looks like an honorable man with a large body, holding two iron tiny balls in his palms.

“Master, we’ve finished them all!” reported the figure who might be the leader of the men in black clothes, the person who was called the master was none other than a man with a round face and body, a never-ending smile on a face that glimpsed friendly wearing luxurious clothes which is that not owned by an ordinary person, he waved his hand.

“Make sure no one is alive, lest this matter is found out by others, our plan has just started and stupid people might not be able to shut their mouths, what about our next plan?”

The man who was standing at the front of the group lowered his head.

“It’s ready master, all have been well prepared, our people inside make sure that we’ll catch the target by tomorrow night at the latest.”

The fat man called the Master grinned.

“Heh just watch them closely, I’m not sure they can break through the multi-layered guards of the palace, this is so much fun.”

The man who led the people in black nodded.

“Yes, Master!”

...

The snorting sound of large horses on the fields ready to take a walk to the valley.

BaiYing did not expect that his ride with the Crown Prince would be escorted by so many guards, yes, of course, he is the Crown Prince, what did he think?

That morning BaiYing wore black clothes with beautiful white crane embroidery along the front to the bottom. His long hair tied up shows his long neck, he’s not wearing any breast patches, he thought maybe no one would notice him since he would enjoy the ride along with the Crown Prince, well alone, says that again, what it’s mean by two of them only?

LuoXiang stood beside the white horse that was taller than him, with long sturdy legs, long silver hair which partially flapped braids with golden ribbons. It was indeed a special breed for Crown Prince, don’t know how BaiYing’s horse is because he had not seen it yet, and it’s been a long time since he rode a horse.

LuoXiang smiled at the sight of BaiYing’s sweet face shining under the sun, even with no make-up that the young man still looked so pretty, who wouldn’t get distracted by his true form side from Concubine Hua as daily?

The wind gently flew a little of his front hair covering his cheeks, LuoXiang’s hand was lifted to part it which made BaiYing who was seriously waiting for his horse turned his head around.

“Why has it been too long?.”

The Crown Prince smiled.

“Why? You can’t wait to have a ride with me?”

BaiYing pulled his lips, that person so confident and shameless, every time he talks he will always praise himself.

Soon BeiYau approached, alone, where’s the horse?

“Your Highness.”

LuoXiang frowned at BeiYau.

“Where’s the horse?”

BeiYau lowered his head.

“Forgive me Your Majesty, but, uh that dark horse, for some reason the horse hasn’t moved from the stable since morning, apparently the horse is having digestive problems and has not stopped yet from this morning.”

BaiYing just stood, this must be kidding right, how can the horses get stomach aches like that too? At this particular time?

“And then? Is there another horse?” BaiYing asked.

BeiYau shook his head.

“Unfortunately there is no one else Your Majesty, that horse is tame among the others, I’m afraid that other horses might be a little wild”

BaiYing took a deep breath, this must be one of the scenes planned by the perverted Crown Prince, he was deliberately doing that so he could cancel their trip. He always thinks about lots of sneaky ideas in his head, just say it if he didn’t want to ask him for a ride why bother doing this trick?.

“Well, so what can we do about it?”

LuoXiang hopped up on his horse.

“Hemh, so, YingYing, do you still want to go to the valley or not?” LuoXiang asked,

BaiYing gave him a sharp glance, he was a respectable crown prince, how could that small problem like this arise when he wanted something? It seemed that this was done on purpose, something is off, he would just follow his game, BaiYing stretched out his hand in front of LuoXiang.

“Pull me, Your Majesty’s horse is so big, it’s enough for two”

LuoXiang smiled, he laughed to see BaiYing’s face at that time, he won!.

He stretched out his hand-pulled BaiYing onto his horse and sat in front of him.

“E Your Majesty, I think it’s better to sit behind you.”

BaiYing didn’t think that person would pull him to sit in front of him as if he was hugging him, he couldn’t refuse since the horse was already moving.

“Your Majesty ”

“Seat still or you will fall”
