Thump thump!
LuoXiangâs footsteps entered the pavilion room.
All the servants immediately lowered their bodies to their knees when the Crown Prince who rushed into the Plum pavilion room impatiently.
âYingYing!â he exclaimed, he headed straight to BaiYingâs room, he was filled with emotions, worried, all mingled into one after hearing from BeiYau that YingYing was hurt.
LuoXiangâs eyes widened wide when he saw BaiYing lying down with his injured back facing upwards, no one dared to enter after BaiYing ordered all the servants to leave him alone, but he could not treat his own back, and his two maids Yan and Bi were also unable to enter and just standing outside the door of the room.
âYour Majesty, His Highness Concubine Hua doesnât let us treat himâ
Luo Xiang understood that BaiYing could not take the risk of other people even his maids knew about his true identity, LuoXiang turned to two of BaiYingâs servants who were still injured but were reluctant to leave because they were worried about Concubine Huaâs condition.
.....
âYou guys go to rest, concubine Hua will not be happy to see you are still pushing, uh, you, bring hot water and medicine to the room, let me treat concubine Huaâ said LuoXiang to Tu who was standing beside the two little servants, the young man nodded.
âYes, Your Highnessâ
Not long after in the room.
LuoXiang helped BaiYing take off his clothes slowly, the pain from the whip made his hand very painful when it moved, long lash cut across BaiYingâs innocent back, since this afternoon he just let it be and didnât let anyone help him, thinking that Luo Xiangâs heart ached, if he just returned immediately BaiYing would not endure the pain this long.
âBe careful.â
The Crown Prince held his anger, clenched his fists at the sight of the wound on BaiYingâs smooth back, he could kill anyone who touched him let alone injure him like this, however, now treating BaiYing was much more important.
BaiYing groaned slightly as the cloth with the medicine touched his wound.
âAkhâ
âSorry Iâll be so gentleâ LuoXiang blew the wound, slowly put the medicine on it, the young man endured the pain until he bit his lips.
âEkhâ
âThat person, I will teach them a lesson, how dare she hurt you like thisâ
BaiYing glanced at the Crown Prince, he could not clearly see his face when he entered earlier because he was suffering from pain in his wound, but, when he saw him now, BaiYing found LuoXiangâs face was red, whether because he was too angry or too worried, his hands were slightly trembling, the young man raised his hand to hold the Crown Princeâs hand.
âYour Majestyâ
LuoXiang looked at him, staring at BaiYing with his little red eyes as if he was holding back tears, but the Crown Prince averted his face.
âIt doesnât hurt so much, itâs just one lash, Yan and Bi, received lashes more than a hundred times, their small bodies, compared to them my wounds are nothing, Iâm really ashamed of feeling the pain in front of themâ
LuoXiang stopped his movements. He lowered the cloth and took BaiYingâs hand.
âIâm sorry because all this happened to you, even though I said I would protect you from anything.â
BaiYing smiled, he raised his hand to feel Luo Xiangâs forehead which was frowned deeply.
âYour Majesty no need to be sorry, all this is happening without anyone wants it, which is certainly not you, and, Your Majesty can not always protect me every time, servant who should be more carefulâ
LuoXiang continued movement of his hands, smears the medicine at BaiYingâs back.
âBeiYau found evidence of who brought your drinking water, and certainly Yan and Bi did not touch your drinking water because another servant brought it directly from the kitchen after it was prepared, it was also at the request of concubine Ye, and she, could not possibly drink the water if she knew there was a poison in it, so, it was probably the maid in the pavilion, though, Bei and the others lost track of the last known servant leaving the palace. â
BaiYing turned his head towards Luo Xiang, unable to hide his happy face.
âReally? Your Majesty, so, it means Yan and Bi are innocent right? They can be my servants again, right? â BaiYing grabbed the Crown Princeâs hand.
LuoXiang nodded, BaiYingâs happy face made him unable to hide the news any longer.
âYes, of course.â
Hearing that, BaiYing immediately shifted his seat and hugged LuoXiang tightly.
âWow, this is very good, thank you, Your Majesty, I am so grateful.â
The Crown Prince patted BaiYingâs back gently, he himself could not help but look at BaiYingâs happy face at that time, more than anything, it was a face that he wanted to always see from his darling.
âHeheâ
....
Ceklek.
The sound of the Crown Princeâs teacup slowly placing on the saucer, he liked the tea the most, especially the high-quality tea that was obtained from around SanPo which is famous for producing fine teas.
One knelt in front of him, in the living room of the Lotus pavilion, who else was his concern at that time, if not the concubine LuiFan who was kneeling with her personal attendant beside her.
Her personal attendant who pass the message to the detention room and takes BaiYing maids to their pavilion.
BeiYau stood behind the Crown Prince, who knows how long it has been since the first Concubine was sentenced to kneel, even a word had not yet come out of the Crown Princeâs lips, just sitting casually enjoying his tea.
Concubine Lui glanced at her personal servant who was also trembling beside her, who knows what the Crown Prince will do to them but he looks angry.
âY-Your Majesty ..â
Just a word from the concubineâs lips that the Crown Princeâs hand had been lifted asking BeiYau to come closer.
âBei, call the guard closer, ask them how many times the whip was given to the two maids of Concubine Huaâ
BeiYau nodded, he immediately raised his hand to the guard who was standing near the wall, guarding several guards who the other day were ordered to whip BaiYingâs servants and also BaiYing.
Concubine Luiâs eyes widened wide after knowing what Bei was asking, this is bad, the Crown Prince is going to whip them too?
âPlease forgive us Your Majesty, please Your Majesty to reconsider, that servants did it in order to seek the truthâ
LuoXiang grinned,
âHey, seek for the truth, well, then Concubine Lui suitable enough to sit in a chair investigators than being a concubineâ
Concubine Lui lifted her head slowly, glanced around.
âConcubine Hua, she must have intended to poison Muâer by all means, and make her servants do it, I believe she must be involvedâ
LuoXiang straightened his seat, his eyes widening.
âInsolent! After what you did, do you still have time to blame others? Donât you regret what you did at all? Guard! Give them a whips! âThe Crown Princeâs loud voice, the guard who was standing not far behind the concubine Lui answered.
â Yes, Your Majesty! â
Concubine Lui was terrified, her eyes widened wide as two guards escorted her and her personal servants to the door.
â No! Your Majesty, please forgive me, it is unfair, I only did what I should, Your Majesty! â
As the concubine and servants were led out of the field to be flogged, there was a loud cry from the pavilion guard guards.
âHer Majesty the Queen is here! â
