CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

177 That Prince WuYi

Klekk.

Princess WuLan put her teacup on the table, the old woman who was already slightly stooped due to her old and sickly body received LuoXiang and others in the living room of her house.

“That person, is my own brother, my older brother, WuYi”

Hearing the old lady’s answer to LuoXiang’s question earlier made the Crown Prince and others speechless, looking at each other, BeiYau who was standing behind LuoXiang with ShinYa also looked at each other.

“According to someone’s story, Prince WuYi has already fallen into the abyss, what, it was just a fabrication?” LuoXiang asked occasionally looking at ShinYa, because he got the story from the Divine shaman, who was now swallowing his saliva, was his father’s story just a fabrication?

Princess WuLan took a deep breath.

“Heh indeed, when we escaped from the chaotic palace, because, both of our parents had been captured by the palace, leaving women and children and the helpless elderly, we had to leave the palace, because, Father had to shut it so that all secrets the palace remained safe and was not miss-used while we all being prisoners, I, don’t really understand how the story went, but my nanny, Aunt Yue at that time who told me everything, she knew for sure because she and the other maids had to escape as soon as Father closed the palace into the ground, all, was very chaotic and big brother was a young prince who had great responsibilities at the time, he was only ten years old, come to think of it, it wasn’t all brother’s fault that things turned out like this, he was still too young and full of passion to avenge the hurt and all the suffering of the family at that time, ems” The old woman lowered her head, momentarily wiping her tears with a handkerchief meanwhile, the young woman beside him, MeMa, the little servant girl who served the old woman’s needs every day lowered her head to look at her.

“Your Majesty, please calm down” stroking the old lady’s back gently, WuLan raised her hand, patting MeMa’s little hand that was holding her shoulder.

“Hehe, it’s okay Me, you just sit quietly, this old lady is just talking so it won’t be any problem”

.....

The girl lowered her knees in a slight salute, then slowly took her place behind WuLan’s chair.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau, waiting for WuLan to continue her story.

“Brother did fall into the abyss when he was about to grab medicine leaves for my illness at that time, the long journey to find shelter, and everyone was tired, the elderly, the ministers who were mostly old, and weak women, no one could be relied on, so brother as a young prince who is still very healthy can’t help but have to go down to pick up medicinal leaves, but, unexpectedly, brother, slipped and fell into the abyss, lucky, brother has a Savior Coin, that coin, protected him until brother only suffered minor injuries and came back to us a few days later, after the guards from YueYang no longer chased us, we, searched for a place deep in the forest and built a refugee camp, thus, finally being able to live in peace until now, but, WuYi is not a person who can just sit and doing nothing, he was determined to avenge his family, when he was fifteen he left the refugee camp and wandered, several years first until he was twenty he still came back often, until one day, he completely disappeared, not much we knew until decades passed, and finally brother came back, but, he has changed so much, he, not WuYi brother who I know again, his ambition, ressurecting WahYe made him become a very different person, heh, poor brother WuYi, with all the grudges still burning in his chest, he, was just a victim”

LuoXiang put down the teacup he had just drunk a little.

“Well, his ambition has really blinded his eyes to the point where he could take the life of his own family, and one of his great-grandchildren’s family, also justify any means to achieve what he wants.”

WuLan looked at LuoXiang, then lowered her head, she didn’t deny all of that.

“Brother, it’s not the old WuYi I knew, ems, that person, even had the heart to kill his own flesh and blood to achieve his wish. My sister WuYe’s family, her extended family, don’t know where they lived at that time, but one-day ChenMing came and said that his whole family had died in the great fire caused by the men in black. At first, I thought, they might be just ordinary bandits who attacked with the original intention of robbing, but, later I found out if it was brother WuYi’s order. He really wanted the Memory coin and looked for it everywhere, he didn’t even let a single person live in order to pave his way, this, was very unforgivable, now, only a few generations of palace families were left behind, and most of them were also unknown where they are now. ChenMing, a poor child, witnessed his own family was killed and had to flee as far as possible, starving, thirsty, and nearly dying on the way while searching for this place, fortunately, he is a very smart kid, with his Tracking Coins, he was able to find us, ems, it’s really fortunate to have him alive ”

“Then, did you also know about YingYing’s whereabouts?” LuoXiang asked.

WuLan wiped the tears that wouldn’t stop flowing, she shook her head.

“I don’t know, ever since SanNiang came out of LoHua, that kid hid herself very well, changing her name to the local YueYang’s name, her face, and the way she was dressed, at that time, SanNiang was sixteen years old, the same as XiaoYing now. She is very excited and full of life, that young girl is determined to live to her heart’s content, enjoying the sun and nature which she loves very much, she said, will take me to the capital city of SanPo one day, become an ordinary citizen who can enjoy life in peace. For that, she decided to go first, a very sweet child, after she left, I never knew anything about her again, until, for some time there were WahYe residents who heard the news and came and said everything, my heart was broken to pieces after heard that, ems, a poor child”

“Then how did WuYi find out about BaiYing? Why wait ten years to come back and finish off his family, if he wanted to, he could have done it when YingYing was little and still living in his house right?”

WuLan frowned, thinking.

“That, is also my question, when there was news about the murder of SanNiang, I found out about the condition of her family, according to the news, her only son was also killed in the incident, maybe, that’s what caused my brother to stop his attacks. Big Brother is full of ambition to find out as for the immense power that could help him realize his plans, from a young age, he practiced martial arts, even dark martial arts, he pave his own way up no matter what happens, doesn’t really care if he got hurt or killed. He practiced inner strength with no limits, injured internal organs that made him unable to have offspring, he was devastated by that, and thought that he might not be able to realize his dream to bring WahYe back to life because of his old age. Brother was very desperate, he was not even twenty years old that time, when he completely disappeared and did not return to the village, actually, brother was quite unfortunate” WuLan occasionally still wiped her tears, her wrinkled eyes cry until it swells, those sparkling eyes, as if they had held all the weight in their chests for a long time, because of her old age, that makes her weaker and helpless.

“Oh why did things turn out like this”

LuoXiang took a deep breath.

“Heh” he also didn’t think this whole matter would get any more complicated, and now, not only was he thinking about his country but also BaiYing, whom he loved more than his own life.

“No matter what, that man has made YingYing life in agony all these years, and my mother also get killed that night, his ambition has ruined everything, I don’t know how can I resist my self not to killed him as soon as I meet him, sorry Princess, but that man is might not your brother again, you have to accept all the fact that he’s the one who turns everybody out because of his blind ambition”

Princess WuLan raise up her head, saw The Crown Prince, which his eyes spark the fire full of anger, she could understand how everybody life was so messed up because of her brother, and that’s not just it, she lost a lot of her family and left only a few of them now, on the other hand, she still wished her brother to realize what he has done, but, in another hand, he just some lunatic who already lost his mind.

“Heh”
