Chapter 640: Chapter 640

640 Carry Out The Plan

The court was designed in such a way as to have a round court in the middle where the competition would be held and surrounded by a lot of imperial guards of Xin Hua who will maintain the event run smoothly and safely.

Princess Wu Lan frowned.

“Oh, is the Viceroy finally allowed to appear in front of everyone here? Has His Highness the Crown Prince changed his mind?” she asked.

Shin Ya nodded.

“I guess so, Princess.”

Princess Wu Lan thought hard, it would be a bit strange for the Crown Prince to suddenly change his mind after he didn’t even say anything during the discussion last night.

Princess Wu Lan was just about to ask back when there was a loud voice from the guard.

“His Royal Highness the Viceroy and His Highness the Crown Prince have arrived!”

All guests stand. Had held their breath to see some figures that appeared from the end of the road. The Crown Prince of the Great Yue Yang, Luo Xiang appeared at the very front wearing a magnificent robe of crimson with a combination of black and silver from the neck to the front collar and a silver belt. The wavy bottom is layered with a black front lining and red satin on the glistening inside. He walked straight ahead with Young King Xin Hua right behind him.

.....

Bai Ying’s attire was white with a golden combination with a sparkling red ribbon matching the Crown Prince’s attire. A satin ribbon with gold thread cascaded down his long, thick hair. The wind gently stroked his beautiful hair which made the guests chuckle in awe. The back of his beautiful and long robe even almost even swept the ground.

“Wooh”

But, no one could see clearly how the Viceroy’s face really was, that morning he was wearing a gold-coloured mask in the shape of a bird’s head with sparkling natural stone decorations and tapered eyebrows with red bird feathers. Even though it doesn’t cover the lips and chin that look amazing like he usually does.

Everyone was still standing even though the Crown Prince and Viceroy had arrived in front of their seats. Luo Xiang patiently helped Bai Ying sit slowly in his chair with all the trouble he got from the Viceroy’s oversized clothing which was indeed very troublesome.

“Your Highness the Viceroy, Your Highness the Crown Prince,” said Advisor Pai lowering his head.

Bai Ying nodded. In his heart, he was so nervous that it was rather difficult to speak. Luo Xiang glanced at the old advisor.

“Old Advisor, you can start the greeting, however, after I announce one important matter.”

Old man Pai raised his head, glanced at the Crown Prince with a frown and then at the Viceroy who looked disinterested at that time.

“Erm, this”

Luo Xiang was still standing in place, looking at the guest who seemed to be waiting for his next order.

“Welcome guests, I am Luo Xiang, Crown Prince of the Great Yue Yang, and, as all already know, your very respective Viceroy is my concubine, who will also become the King of Yue Yang palace the future life partner of the Emperor..”.

Not long after, all the invited guests started whispering, the announcement made by the Crown Prince made them glance at each other.

“What does it mean? Skin disease? Yellow ape?”

The announcement from the Crown Prince made the guests who had been sitting quietly in commotion.

“I heard that the bite of the yellow ape is very contagious, how could this happen to the Great Viceroy?” whispered one of the guests from the big Wah ye tribe.

“Is it because of the last battle at Fo Wang mountain? But how could it be?”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, he knew that no one would believe his words. Until he looked at Bai Ying whose mouth was pursed in annoyance. He raised his hand to remove Bai Ying’s mask but the young man held him back.

“Your Majesty, no, what if it’s really contagious?” he whispered.

Luo Xiang pulled his lip and looked at Bai Ying with sharp eyes.

“Just took it off, let everyone see your face.”

Bai Ying held the Crown Prince’s hand.

“Your Highness”

But Luo Xiang didn’t let Bai Ying’s hand hold him until he managed to remove Bai Ying’s face mask which immediately surprised the guests.

“Oooh”

Previously in Bai Ying’s room.

“No Your Highness, it hurts a lot, even though Xiao Jing won’t bite too deep it still hurts a lot.” Bai Ying held his face as he walked backwards away from the Crown Prince.

But Luo Xiang was determined, he had even specially summoned Xiao Jing, a little golden yellow ape to carry out his plan. The little ape was busy enjoying the snacks that had been prepared by the maids on a small table especially for him without being bothered about what purpose he was called there from the Cloud Forest.

Finally, Luo Xiang chased Bai Ying around his large bedroom.

“Brat, come here, it will only be a moment, after the opening ceremony is over Ying Ying will put on your mask again. Come here”

Bai Ying tried to avoid the Crown Prince who was trying to catch him. It was seen that Chen Ming and Xiao Hong arrived at the door to see the two adults running around like children.

“You naughty kid, come here!”

“Your Highness is mean, why do this to Ying er, it hurts so much Your Highness, what if the bite leaves a scar, wouldn’t Ying er’s face be permanently disfigured?”

“No way, a Realm King can heal himself in an instant, and I don’t mind about the scars, it’s better than sharing Ying Ying with others”

“Your Highness!”

And that sly smile did not leave Luo Xiang’s face, even when he was in front of all the guests who now seemed to have changed their minds.

A yellow ape bite, even though it can be treated with the most effective medicine, will still be contagious and the scars will spread all over the body. Not to mention the wounds that kept oozing pus until they smelled, skin diseases that all Princesses and Princes feared the most, even anyone because of the pain and heat that was continuous and very disturbing. The smell generated will also make sufferers shunned by everyone and exiled.

“Oh, No one told us about this before. Can we still retreat?”

Princess Wu Lan still showed a smile on her face, even though she was holding back the irritation inside her chest. If it’s like this, what else can she say to all her guests? They would definitely back off on their own. How could the Crown Prince with his extraordinary possessiveness be thought of in this way too? He really didn’t expect that an honourable Crown Prince could be so underhanded, all for the sake of his beloved Concubine, that really couldn’t be blamed.

One of the tribal chiefs dared to speak first, raising one hand across his chest while lowering his head to face the Crown Prince.

“Eh, pardon me, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we heard that the Young King’s abilities are quite extraordinary, surely, a yellow ape bite like this isn’t a big deal right? Remembering his extraordinary strength”

Luo Xiang looked at the old man with a golden cloth headband on his forehead and a tiger fur outfit. See who is standing behind him. A beautiful princess with two big round eyes and rosy red lips, a beautiful young woman, thought Luo Xiang even though she was no match for his concubine despite the condition of his injured skin now.

“That’s true, but after all of that the Young King is just a human, certainly not like a God who can heal himself, it takes time, at least, years, up to tens of years.”

The Crown Prince’s reply made the loud noises reappear louder and louder.

“Ohh this is unexpected”

Bai Ying pursed his mouth, and crossed his two arms in front of his chest, after this he would never talk to the Crown Prince who had ruined his good name ever again, his flawless face and reputation were ruined by the irresponsible man. He can’t wait to kick him.

Voices shouted.

“Do we still have to join the match? But, that disease is very contagious” whispered one of the kings of the great Wah Ye tribe.

“Father, what should we do? I don’t want to marry the Viceroy with that kind of condition, what if it rubbed off on my fair skin? Oh that’s so horrible”

“Yeah, what should we do now?”

Finally, because of this extraordinary incident, Princess Wu Lan decided to allow advisor Pai’s men to take a record of the guests who were about to withdraw, and all of them decided to withdraw.

Bai Ying sat down in his chair without saying a word, again putting on his mask to cover his face which was actually in a very perfect condition. Xiao Jing’s bite only lasted a moment for him, it was nothing to him.
