CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

150 Family?

“I told you I’d lost it since long time ago, why didn’t believe it? Why look for things that obviously don’t exist with us, you’re wasting your time, big brother”

YueWang chuckled, he looked at the old woman for a long time,

“Heh, who do you think you fooling at? That thing was with you since childhood, Mother gave it to you since you were the weakest among us all, I also thought that too, until I forgot it and thought it was all unimportant, but, right now, knowing where our parents keeping everything we need, much more important, it’s better to just hand it over, and I promise, I won’t bother you anymore.”

The old lady looked at YueWang long until she stood up from her seat, the young girl standing beside her helped her slowly with her limping step, the woman approached YueWang, glaring at him very sharply.

“Then just kill me, and look for the item yourself everywhere in this house, if big brother still doesn’t believe that it hasn’t been around for a long time, I’m old, my memory isn’t good either, so even if you force me I also don’t know how to remember it, whether I dropped it while looking for firewood, or while swimming in the river, or maybe while walking around the city, big brother can search all over the place, use your’s too-much time, big brother.”

YueWang clenched his fists, holding back annoyed to see the face of the woman who was now very close to him, if not considering all the highly-trained villagers watching him and his men with wary eyes YueWang might have strangled the old woman, but if he does that, they could die silly there.

“Hey sister, I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut, I’ll keep an eye on you, you keep that in mind” YueWang whispered, after speaking like that the old man stood up from his seat, unlike the palace senior advisor, the old man with gallantly stood up and walked quickly towards the door, with his chest swelled up, waving his hands inviting all his men to disperse.

“Let’s go” he shouted, eunuch Sheng and his domineering subordinates dressed in black nodded in unison and retreated neatly towards the door.

The old woman was still standing in the center of the room, a man younger than her approaching her.

.....

“Your Majesty, what should we do?” whispered men who were in their fifties, handsome faces with pale skin and light-colored hair, they were people from the tribe WahYe.

The old woman calmly headed back to her seat, with sharp familiar eyes, a firm face, and a strong mind despite her old age.

“Don’t do anything Pai, didn’t you hear what that guy said? He watches my every move, even though decades have passed, this old woman still can’t enjoy life watching my grandchildren grow up, heh, it’s all because of that person’s crazy ambition.”

The man who was called Pai nodded, he raised his hand over his shoulder in front of his chest while lowering his head.

“Yes Your Majesty, I will carry out”

“Keep your eyes and ears open, that man can do the worst thing he can think of, heh, and that brat, where did he go?” the woman sat in her seat taking a deep breath, before lifting her cup and taking a sip of her hot tea.

........

Thump thump thump.

Rapid footsteps from outside the Crown Prince’s study, made LuoXiang who was focused on reading the report in his hand raised his head, looking at BeiYau who was rushing in.

“Report! Your Highness” BeiYau arrived in front of him lowering his head in salute.

LuoXiang calmly turned the pages of the report on the table in front of him.

“What’s wrong Bei, why do you always make such a loud noise when I’m working?”

“Please forgive servant, Your Majesty, sorry to disturb Your Majesty’s time, but, there is an important report from the SanPo city center court”

LuoXiang held his hand, what important matter came from SanPo central court, this bodyguard, does he want all the troubles of this city to be his attention to?

“Does, our problem here still not enough Bei? Why do you have to take care of the city court too?”

BeiYau didn’t move, until he slowly raised his head to look at the Crown Prince, LuoXiang knew how the personal guard who had accompanied him since he was sixteen years old, of course, there was no longer a secret between them.

“Sorry Your Majesty, but, the problem is..”

Not long after that, placed in the detention room of the Crown Prince Palace, where this morning the SanPo city court had just handed over a prisoner who was quite important to the palace, at least that was what the special palace guards ordered, when they heard the origin of an important prisoner.

Right on the front door where the Crown Prince just stepped in, they can hear the commotion within the detention room.

“Insolent! I told you I am the Prince of WahYe, why don’t you listen to me, let me go, I will put to death those of you who have treated me unfairly!”

A loud voice, a young man behind bars in the detention room. The guards around him stifled laughter, there were even some who couldn’t help but laugh and finally burst out laughing when they saw the crazy child who kept screaming he was a prince, how could that be, a dirty, skinny child, with very shabby and smelly clothes, was a prince, who would believe it.

“Hahahaha this kid is so cute, how can there be a prisoner who can make jokes like this to be picked up to the palace?” said one of the guards, another chimed in.

“This kid is just crazy and fantasizing freely, what prince is that? And what country is that, just heard about it, but he’s so cute, see the color of his eyes? It’s strange, maybe he really got sick and went crazy because of it.”

The laughter sounded again, the kid behind the bars tried to reach the guard who laughed at him.

“I’ll punish you, just see what I do to you when I get out of here”

But the guard’s laughter was soon stopped, as someone entered the prison passage.

“The Crown Prince arrived!” cried the guard.

The prison room guards lowered their bodies to their knees somewhat surprised by the Crown Prince’s sudden visit to that filthy place.

“Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince!”

LuoXiang who came with BeiYau behind him looked straight at the detention room where BeiYau said about the prisoners that might catch his attention, the Crown Prince walked straight up to the now silent kid and looked at him, with a pair of big round eyes, with the color of the clear light brown eyeballs, his face was dirty, full of dirt here and there, but, it was that pair of eyes, that resembled BaiYing’s pair of eyes that now looked at him big.

“What’s your name?” LuoXiang asked.

The filthy young man swallowed hard, looking at LuoXiang from head to toe, a very beautiful dress, gleaming red and yellow, a face so radiant, that he couldn’t take his eyes off him.

“So presumptuous! Lower your head and pay your respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!” cried BeiYau.

But LuoXiang’s hand raised to stop BeiYau’s words, still not taking his eyes off the young man who still saw him silent.

“Just let it Bei, this kid, claim to be the Prince, that means, we are equal, don’t you think? Young prince?”

The young man could not speak, the powerful aura of the Crown Prince standing tall in front of him made his voice disappear, feeling the pressure that made his knees weak.

“Eh, I, Young Prince WahYe, my name is ChenMing,” replied the young man.

......

BaiYing looked with big round eyes and only blinked a few times, while he was in his pavilion enjoying his afternoon tea, suddenly the Crown Prince brought a very weird person in front of him, a young man, his age probably not much different from him, shabby clothes with a very dirty face, a pair of piercing eyes that looked at BaiYing equally confusedly.

BaiYing tugged at LuoXiang’s clothes which were right beside him.

“Eh, Your Majesty, who is he?” BaiYing asked in a slight whisper.

LuoXiang waved his hand asking the bodyguards and maids to take the filthy kid to clean up. However, the young man’s eyes were still looking at BaiYing, even looking at his hand holding the Crown Prince’s arm at will even though the young man looked very stern and fierce towards everyone, his sharp eyes seemed to be filled with an offensive air, but, not with BaiYing.

After the maids and guards took the young man out to clean himself up, LuoXiang’s hand grabbed BaiYing’s hand leading him to sit in front of the round table in the center of the room.

BaiYing was still waiting for the Crown Prince’s answer, which now looked at him with his shady eyes.

“Em, YingYing, that child, maybe someone that you know, or maybe not, just a coincidence, but, he said all things related to WahYe, and Princess WuLan very accurately, he, might be your cousin”

BaiYing was speechless, hearing LuoXiang’s answer, don’t know whether to be happy or not, but, that means, he has another family? After he thought his whole family was gone, was that true? BaiYing was about to release his grip on LuoXiang’s hand but the young man held him back.

“YingYing”

“Eh, what, Your Majesty, are you sure, he, isn’t just a swindler? Who knows, someone actually leaks this WahYe matter, and anyone will be able to make up a story.”

LuoXiang gripped BaiYing’s hand tightly, not letting the boy move away from him.

“Well, BeiYau already confirmed it before bringing him to the palace, and Lord ShinYa too, although, the possibility exists, there’s no harm in trying to get to know him”

BaiYing lowered his head, deep in thought until his brow furrowed, for some reason, he got strange thoughts, why all related to WahYe out this time? Simultaneously, what will happen next? He had a bad feeling.

Previously in the Crown Prince’s study.

LuoXiang held his brush firmly, deep in thought.

“This matter, very weird Bei, anyone can take advantage of the current situation, I don’t want to invite a tiger cub into my house, that person could harm YingYing”

BeiYau nodded but, LuoXiang then glanced at ShinYa who happened to be beside him, as a Shaman of WahYe, that person certainly knows the royal family better than anyone else.
