88 a Clue?
Evening at the Plum Pavilion.
BaiYing sat dreamily on his bed, still not feeling sleepy from constantly thinking about what had been missing from his memory during the events that day.
Tonight it was raining so hard, BaiYing kept seeing the water that fell between the slightly open windows and made him focused and calm, which was what he really needed right now.
The Crown Prince approached, immediately tore off the blanket, and sat behind BaiYing.
âYingYing, what are you thinking?â
The Crown Princeâs hands wrapped around BaiYingâs waist from behind and rested his chin on the boyâs shoulder, BaiYing was still looking intently at the window, thinking until his brow furrowed deeply.
LuoXiang raised his hand to brush BaiYingâs hair behind his ear.
âEm, youâre still thinking about concubine Fu? Did you get any clue?â
BaiYing was still seriously thinking, he ignored the Crown Prince until suddenly he turned his head quickly.
.....
âOh Yeah, Your Majesty, tomorrow I will go to the Pavilion Lily to meet Baoâer, according to Lanâer sister, he was the one who was assigned to buy the glass string, maybe Baoâer can be a witness who was the first person who told him to buy the string, this is could be another clue, Your Majesty.â
The Crown Prince frowned, he still rested his chin on BaiYingâs shoulder.
âClue? What clue? If someone else is the mastermind behind it? Who else? If not concubine Fu, concubine Lui and concubine Ye who can command Baoâer, who does YingYing hope to be the culprit?â
The Crown Princeâs words made BaiYing realize, he realized, one of the three concubines must have been the culprit, and he didnât expect one of them to be right, but, this is for the sake of finding out the truth, if concubine Fu is not the culprit then the real culprit must still be around, be free and laugh, but, what if it concubine Lui, or concubine Ye? BaiYing didnât want any of them either.
BaiYing lowered his head, pursed his lips.
âHemhâ
The Crown Prince straightened his seat, he raised his hand turning BaiYingâs head towards him, squeezing BaiYingâs cute face in annoyance.
âIch this kid, why do you think so much about them? Whereas they donât think about you at all, whether itâs concubine Fu or not the culprit but he really intends to hurt you, so she, or concubine Lui, or even concubine Ye, itâs all the same right, you donât have to think too much about themâ
BaiYing tried to say something with pouting lips.
ânya pi nyu buknyaâ
The Crown Prince couldnât help but be amused at BaiYingâs adorable face and voice, he wanted to squeeze him even more.
âWhat are you talking about, this kid really makes people want to pinch you, my YingYing icchâ
BaiYing let go of the Crown Princeâs hand.
âYour Majesty itâs hurtâ the boy looks at him with his very sharp eye from annoyance.
The Crown Prince laughed, he ruffled BaiYingâs front hair.
âHehehehe sorry, letâs go to sleep, tomorrow you just stay here, let BeiYauâs men call Baoâer to come here ok, donât go here and there, I canât work in peace if you keep running around, while Your health condition hasnât fully recovered yetââ
âIâm fine, Your Majesty, tomorrow I still want to visit the Cold pavilion. I have promised sister Lanâer to bring a facial mask for her. Poor girl, itâs just a few days in the Cold pavilion sheâs already become so thin and unkempt, Your Majesty shouldnât have locked her there.â
The Crown Prince wrapped his arms around BaiYingâs chest who was leaning against him on their bed.
âWell, it canât be helped, for a palace concubine the detention room is in the Cold pavilion, the conditions in prison will, of course, be more difficult for an honorable concubine, but the Cold pavilion from the beginning was built to provide a deterrent effect so that people who were once imprisoned there wonât repeat their evil deeds, I donât know what Fatherâs intention was to build the Cold pavilion but I think itâs better than the prisonâ
âWell, thatâs according to Your Majesty, in fact, the conditions in the Cold pavilion are far worse than in the prison, the place is indeed clean, there is no one else but concubine Fu was there, but that only made Sister Lanâer even more depressed.â
BaiYing took a deep breath.
âHeh, I hope, none of the concubines are the suspects, even if there are, I hope Your Majesty can forgive them, donât because of me, one of them had to lose their life, after all, this servant is just a fake concubine, donât even have the right or anything in the palace, donât risk them just because of meâ
The Crown Prince didnât answer immediately, he would definitely disappoint BaiYing, because the palace rules were very clear, anyone who harmed other family members would be severely punished, he put his chin back on the boyâs shoulder.
âYingYing, to me you are not a fake concubine, donât ever say that, what you did is not worth as what they did, you guys are not the same, heh, because you did no harm to anyone on this, not at allâ
The Crown Prince buried his head to BaiYingâs neck and back, sniffed the scent he liked so much, hugging the body tightly from behind.
âMy YingYingâ
.........
Morning comes.
âPhak!â
A loud clapping sound, suddenly a voice that appeared in BaiYingâs head made him open his eyes and wake up to sit down.
âYour Highnessâ Yan and Bi who were already sitting on the edge of the bed approached, both of them saw BaiYing who woke up with wide eyes as if he had a bad dream.
âYour Majesty, did you have a bad dream?â
The sky outside was already bright, the sound of birds singing could be heard clearly into his room, a gentle cold wind blew in through the window, BaiYing had a dream, something very important appeared in his memory, he immediately pulled the blanket aside.
âSister Yan, Sis Bi, help me prepare the bathwater, we have to go see Baoâer today, who knows he can give us a hintâ While BaiYing was busy putting on his footwear, the two maids looked at each other.
âUm, His Highness the Crown Prince has told us to remind Your Majesty to stay here, let the guards pick up Baoâer here.â
BaiYing stopped his hand movements, yes, he forgot, he was too excited to forget what the Crown Prince said last night, his head hurt so bad, the dream, or the lost piece of memory that made him tired, instead of waking up with a headache and neck pain.
âYour Majesty, we will prepare bath water with herbs. Your Majesty has been too tired lately, Bi will massage you later,â said Bi, BaiYing shook his head.
âNo need Sis Bi, just taking a bath is enoughâ
Yan and Bi looked at each other again.
âUm, actually, Your Majesty, you donât have to be too shy with us, we are happy to do it, um, this lady has a good massage, although not as great as LoMa, her hands are strong enough,â said Yan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
BaiYing glanced at his two maids, smiled at the two cute girls who were getting closer to him, and nodded slowly.
âEm, okay, looks like I really need a massageâ
