93 Was The Crown Prince Really Killed?
#Warning, the scene is a little bit too much, think as this was soap opera.
Rain still fell so hard at the pitch-black night.
BaiYing who was hiding behind the wall hesitated for a moment, he thought he should find The Crown Prince by himself and ask, but, just as when he about to step out his foot, someone from the end of the bridge appeared, walking gracefully under an umbrella, sheâs Concubine Ye, no, from her appearance now, how big and luxurious her clothes is, she should be Empress Ye.
âYour Majesty, what are you doing in the rain? What if Your Majesty falls ill? What are you thinking of?â
The Crown Prince turned to Empress Ye, he held the umbrella in the Empressâ hand and then wrapped his arms around her, the two walked hand in hand down the bridge.
âMuMu, I was thinking of a name for our child, and itâs so good thinking in the rain, I havenât felt that in such a long time.â
Empress Ye was so spoiled that she clung to the Crown Prince who was very gentle towards her, the man raised his hand to smooth Empress Yeâs hair which was slightly wet from the rain.
âItâs wet, youâll get sick MuMu.â
The petite beauty patted the Crown Princeâs arm lightly.
.....
âAckh, this servant is so tough Your Majesty, donât compare me to the other one, just a little windy can make him sickâ
The Crown Prince was exasperated, he pinched Empress Yeâs nose in exasperation.
âIch MuMu, why do you have to talk about that person againâ
BaiYing clenched his fists, holding back the anger that rose to the top of his head, his heart was already broken, what was the difference between killing him slowly or instants?
What had he been feeling all this time, what that person showed him all this time is just fake? BaiYing glanced around, whether it was because of the heavy rain or the situation of the Peony Garden which was so safe that there was not a single guard there, his anger made him blind, even if he has to die in that evil Crown Prince hands he would be very much satisfied because he had vented everything, he would die happily.
Without a second thought, BaiYing, who was holding the guardâs short dagger he took at the prison earlier, dashed forward towards the Crown Prince and Empress Ye.
âGod damn it! Why are you doing this to me!â BaiYingâs pain was unstoppable, he ran as fast as he could straight towards the Crown Prince while brandishing his dagger, the two of them didnât notice his sudden arrival, until...
âBruk!â
BaiYing slammed into the Crown Princeâs body with a dagger drawn into his stomach, directly stabbing him, deeply.
Fresh blood flowed, instantly blending with the rainwater causing all the water around the Crown Prince and BaiYing to be red.
The Crown Princeâs eyes went wide as he realized what had happened.
Seeing that, Empress Ye who had been pushed down immediately screamed hysterically.
âAhhh! Guards!â she shouted loudly.
BaiYing still held the dagger, pulled it out, and stabbed it again, time and time again, even though the Crown Princeâs hand was holding him but the wound caused by the dagger rendered him helpless, his huge body fell to the ground with BaiYing on top of him.
âY-YingYingâ fresh blood spouted from his mouth, his eyes widened at BaiYing, trying to raise his hand to caress the young manâs cheek, clearly visible in his beautiful pair of eyes, there was nothing but anger and resentment, no more love in those eyes.
âY-YingYingâ
BaiYing restrained himself, he restrained himself from becoming weak because of his love, the tears keep flowing from his eyes as hurt as his heart now, the footsteps of the guards rushed closer, but all the sounds seemed to be meaningless, his world suddenly became empty, silent, soundless.
âKill him!â
BeiYau shouted as he drew closer to BaiYing, the young man couldnât help but surrender when BeiYauâs longsword slashed at his back.
âSheets!!â
Fresh blood splattered into the air and again mingled with the unrelenting rainwater, BaiYingâs body fell heavily, right on top of the Crown Princeâs cold body.
âBrukk!â
BaiYing tried to raise his hand, with the remaining strength trying to caress the now motionless Crown Princeâs cheek with wide eyes, his love, all of his heart, shattered with him, died with him too.
âY-Your Majestyâ
Until BaiYingâs strength was gone and the hand fell limply on the Crown Princeâs face, his body fell on top of the Crown Princeâs body and the blood kept flowing, the lotus pond beneath them became red with it.
The scene was so dramatic, the rain, the dark skies, the blood, flashed by the dim light of the lamp.
His eyes could still see clearly the full moon was so big above them, the moon was getting closer and closer, was this really the end of him? Why is it so sad? He never thought it would turn out like this, his heart broke into pieces.
âEgh, Your Majestyâ
âYingYing!â the Crown Prince screams.
He should be dead, why is his voice still so clear and loud? But, how come he could still hear him so clearly?
âYingYing!â the voice again, getting louder, made BaiYing open his eyes instantly.
Gasping.
âHooohâ
âYour Majesty!â As if jolted from a dream, BaiYing opened his eyes and found sunlight directly hitting his eyes. Someone was in front of him, someone with a round and short body, he didnât even know him, who was he? Was heâs the angel who was supposed to take him to hell?
âIâm willing to die!â
That personâs voice, BaiYingâs eyes widened, that person was standing in front of him where there was a lot of cavalries that he recognized quite well, one of them was pulling arrows towards them, without thinking twice BaiYing who suddenly had more strength, got up and pushed the manâs body. They fell, just as an arrow shot towards it.
âSheets!â
And after that, he didnât move anymore, maybe it was just a dream.
âYingYing!â
#This episode ended here.
....
Crack.
The sound of the door opening from outside, with half-bowed bodies, several young maidservants entered neatly into the large room in the center of Liliâs pavilion.
Several people sat in the living room around the dining table, one of them was concubine Ye who seemed to be entertaining some important guests that afternoon, two old men in the official attire of a palace official who had a higher position, the color of his clothes was red with gold thread embroidery, and two younger men in level six official attire, dark brown.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy the banquet held by concubine Ye that afternoon while chatting intimately.
âHahahaha this is greatâ
âI am very confident in concubine Yeâs abilities, uh, sorry, future Empress Ye, surely can win His Majesty the Emperorâs favor for the underdeveloped village proposal that was submitted yesterday,â said YaoAn, one of the top-level five, The Peoples Welfare state officials, all smiled at the old manâs words, including Muâer who blushed.
âHehehe official Yo, itâs just because Iâm lucky Your Majesty would read my proposal, this is really unexpectedâ
As the conversation was heating up, a young maid, Sanâer approach and whispered in Muâerâs ear, instantly Muâerâs eyes widened heard the news delivered by her personal maid.
âReally?â Sanâer nodded.
After that Muâer raised her body.
âOh, my big apologies, gentlemen, suddenly His Highness the Crown Prince summoned me, may we continue our chat another time?â
The officials chuckled, surely, concubine Ye can indeed be the most sweet-spoken, beautiful and seductive face, gentle nature, who wouldnât like her?
âHehehe of course Your Majesty, itâs a great honor for usâ
.........
In the Plum pavilion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Crown Prince tried to open BaiYingâs bedroom door, even intending to break it down, it wouldnât be difficult for him, but he couldnât do that.
âYingYing! Open the door!â he cried, annoyed that BaiYing had locked himself in his room and wouldnât let him in.
While in the room.
BaiYing seemed so busy opening all his cupboards and drawers, taking out whatever valuables he found, his two maids Yan and Bi who followed him couldnât stop him, since waking up Concubine Hua immediately locked the room and prepared all his belongings as if he was about to run away.
âYour Majestyâ
BaiYing put all his jewels, any valuables into the cloth bag he had prepared, then pushed them towards his two maids.
âThis, sister Yan, sister Bi, you take all this and leave the palace as soon as possible, donât come back no matter what, go as far as possible.â
But the two maids were worried about BaiYing who was acting strangely like he was possessed by a ghost.
âYour Majestyâ the two didnât even know what to say, the maids keep following BaiYing who was panicked and frightened like being chased by a criminal, his hands were shaking, itâs so cold when he touched his maidâs hand, naturally making the two maids anxious.
âYingYing!â
It didnât take long for the Crown Prince to finally enter the room, his eyes widening at the sight of the entire room being cluttered with all of BaiYingâs belongings.
âWhat happened?â asked the Crown Prince, his two maids shook their heads at the same time, BaiYing was still going around tirelessly taking out all his things from the cupboard until LuoXiang approached him and grabbed his two hands to stop him.
âYingYing what are you doing?â
BaiYingâs eyes widened when he saw the Crown Princeâs face, he tried with all his might to let go of the manâs grip and push his body away.
âDonât come near me! Donât touch my maid! Donât hurt them.â
.....
BaiYing stood in front of Yan and Bi as if trying to protect him, his eyes looking at the Crown Prince with trepidation, LuoXiang stepped forward again and held BaiYingâs body.
