âEh my YingYing, youâve been waiting for me?â
BaiYing tugged at the Crown Princeâs arm.
âEh, Your Majesty, ehâ he stuttered, biting his nails nervously,
LuoXiang grabbed BaiYingâs shoulders which looked stuttering as he didnât know what to say, the Crown Prince glanced at his two maids who then approached.
âForgive us, Your Majesty, this afternoon His Majesty, concubine Hua received news about the attack on Huaâs house, reportedly, your Majesty was seriously injured, so they asked concubine Hua to go there immediately.â
Hearing that, LuoXiang opened his eyes wide.
âWhat? What injured? Who gave the news? â
.....
Yan and Bi lowered their heads.
âThe little guard from Your Majestyâs Palace, when servant tried to chase him to ask more clearly he was nowhere to be seen. His Majesty, concubine Hua was worried since this afternoon and couldnât do anything, he wanted to go there but he thought it might be just a trap, but, His Majesty canât stop thinking about it. â
The Crown Prince looked at BaiYing who lowered his head, seemed to hold back his tears, he was so worried and his body trembling, Crown Prince immediately pulled and hugged him.
âOh YingYing, Iâm fine, heh thank God youâre still thinking clearly, they might want to attack you when you get thereâ
BaiYing clenched his hands.
âY-Your Majesty, do, do they still want my life? Why do they keep chasing me? â
The Crown Prince shook his head, he stroked BaiYingâs hair gently.
âHeh, I donât know YingYing, thatâs what weâll have to find out, emâ he let go of his hug and stroked BaiYingâs cheek, seeing a pair of teary of the sweet young man, holding tight his cold hands.
âUm, we will find out, donât worry about itâ
BaiYing nodded, he kept holding Crown Princeâs clothes tightly.
âAnd right now, there is someone who wants to see you.â
BaiYing frowned, he still had a question until LuoXiang shifted his body and showed someone who was now standing at his door.
BaiYingâs face turned excited to see a figure he had not seen for a long time.
âBrother TangTang!â
YoTang immediately entered and approached BaiYing, with a face that still could not get rid of his shock at the news that the Hua family had all died, he then approached.
âYoung master Ying, you are still alive.â YoTang was so relieved that he couldnât hold back his tears, he grabbed BaiYingâs two hands.
âBrother TangTang, why are you here? Howâs Grandpa Ou? â
Hearing that, the big young man burst into tears.
âHuuhuhu teacherâ he shook his head
âI donât know how the teacherâs fate is now, huaaaaâ
BaiYing glanced at the Crown Prince, who must have been very possessive. LuoXiang didnât like anyone holding BaiYingâs hand other than himself, he immediately pulled BaiYingâs hand away from the young manâs grip and grasped it.
YoTangâs crying voice can still be heard clearly.
âHuaaa! Master Hua, Lady Hua, Uncle Bao, everyone, Sister Yen, hukssâ
.........
Black shadows shot from the top of the tree and descended in front of the pavilion courtyard, looking like one of the pavilions in the palace, either the Imperial palace or the Crown Prince. Several of the men dressed in completely black fell down and knelt in front of a stocky figure who was already standing in front of the pavilion terrace feeding some fish in the small pond below the terrace.
âGreeting Sir! That person has arrived at the Crown Princeâs palace,â reported one of the frontmen, a chubby figure whose face was less clear under the oil lamp stopped his hand movements, turned to look at the man dressed in black, approximately five people.
âYou guys just watch what that young man does, donât act before being orderedâ the figureâs voice was heavy, the men in black nodded together.
âYes, master!â
Soon the men dressed in black dismiss and darted away, leaving a figure still standing in front of the pond continuing to spread the pellets into the water. He was stocky, red clothes with a gold combination, a small crown pinned by his hair, on his pinkie, seen as he was feeding fish, a ring with red glowing eyes snakeâs, he was none other than Eunuch Sheng, with a smirk in his ugly face.
âHeheâ
.........
The Crown Prince was sitting on BaiYingâs bed, with BaiYing lying down leaning on him. LuoXiang held BaiYingâs hand, looked at the palm with his tiny, delicate fingers, stroking the hair that was so close to his face so he could scent it clearly.
BaiYing just sat with a gaze out of the window beside his room, where the night sky even though it was completely dark, there were still several stars that were shining bright enough.
âYingYing, what are you thinking of?â
BaiYing grabbed LuoXiangâs large palm, even his hands were nothing, he was indeed a giant.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEm, Your Majesty, is, what Brother Yo said is true? If, in my body, thereâs a part of dragon blood settled down, why, I just found it out now? Then, then Grandpa OuYang says he can take the Bloodstone out completely â
The Crown Prince held his breath, whatever it was, he didnât care, he just didnât want BaiYing to be hurt at all because of that strange thing, that was his only concern.
BaiYing raised his body to look at the Crown Prince.
âYour Majesty, Brother Yo has the pills that Grandpa Ou gave, how about if we take it out, I will do it.â
The Crown Prince saw BaiYingâs face for a while, he raised his hand to stroke the young manâs cheek.
âThe risk is very high YingYing, you can lose your life, I will not let you do itâ
BaiYing grabbed Luo Xiangâs two hands, gripping them with two small hands that still could not cover them.
âYour Majesty, this is the only way, the killer will appear when I take out the stone, Grandpa Ou says, it is possible that my wound has already been healed and the stone is of no use to me anymore, so itâs better to just take it out, this thing, the thing that causes of my whole family being killed, because they are looking for this. â
The Crown Prince saw BaiYingâs excited face, he was too innocent, stupid child, he didnât know that the risk of removing the stone from his heart, meant he had to let his heart stop beating first, at least BaiYing had to experience torpor for a while until the pearl came out of his body, he couldnât do it, how could he see BaiYing dying to take out that insignificant stone?
