CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

196 The Days at WahYe

Srengg!

The sound of an iron door in the detention room, one of the large buildings not far from the main building of WahYe Palace. Slowly BaiYing followed by ChenMing and General Po entered the detention room where they locked up the prisoners they had secured, some of them YeMu and old man Lao.

BaiYing stopped in front of the iron bars where YeMu was sitting quietly in the corner of the room, the girl with a sharp gaze ignored the incoming crowd and stopped looking at her for a long time.

“Hey, is there a social visit today?”

Some of WahYe’s new guards hit the iron with their sticks.

“Impudent! bow your head before the King!” cried one of the young guards.

YeMu just smirked, the girl who was helpless because of the injuries she sustained after fighting against YiFang had little choice but to surrender in the hands of her enemy, she remembered very well how her black chains were shattered into pieces after hitting YiFang’s twin swords.

“Pang!!” the sound of the sword clashing against the black iron was so loud that it was deafening, YeMu had to close her eyes tightly as the chain fragments shattered before her eyes, a fatal stroke that nearly killed hem, the pressure of his internal energy crushed the girl’s organs to the point of spewing fresh blood from her mouth.

“Eulk”

.....

The bar door opened, YeMu’s eyes widened as she saw the young man coming towards her.

“What do you want? Do you want to kill me?”

BaiYing stopped in front of the girl, he looked at her for a long time.

“WahYe needs four pillars of support, after all, YeMu Sis is one of the pillars of support for the country, so Ying’er can’t possibly kill you, and also, it’s not my right to take your life, not at all”

YeMu looked at BaiYing’s eyes which looked at her with a serious look, those eyes, those eyes that she had never seen when she met the young man in the palace before, but, for some reason, YeMu suddenly missed him so much, deep gaze filled with admiration when he saw her at the first time, the look in the eyes of a child who looked at her with great admiration, she will never forget it,

“Heheheh YeMu sister is awesome, you can do almost everything” the kid crispy laugh.

But, YeMu averted her eyes, her wound might make her weak to think of such ridiculous things, the act she did, just to make concubine Hua believe her, that was the most ridiculous days of her life, had to pretend and smiled with a sweet face that was not her true nature all this time, it was very annoying for her.

“Hehe, with your strength, you don’t actually need us to be the four pillars of support”

“Of course we are, therefore, Ying’er, and the members of the palace council have decided, will let YeMu sis stay in the palace, on a note, big sis will under house arrest, can’t go anywhere, let alone go out of the city gates, if you get out, the council will probably stop you at all costs, including killing you on the spot, it will all be implemented, whether YeMu agrees or not”

YeMu looked at BaiYing, then ChenMing, and General Po behind him, no Crown Prince there, what does this mean, all those decisions can be made by BaiYing himself? The innocent little boy in front of him?

“How about, going out of the palace, taking a walk to the city, what is it still okay?” asked YeMu.

BaiYing thought.

“That, it will be very troublesome because there will be many guards following you, for your convenience, it’s better if you stay inside and the maids will take care of all your needs”

YeMu held her breath, she couldn’t accept this decision, this is the same as being in prison, what is the difference? It is better for her to die, the problem will be solved, don’t have to think about things that make him have to try to live just like a prisoner, really useless, she grumbled in her heart.

BaiYing lowered his body in front of YeMu, slowly raised his hand to grab YeMu’s hand which was wrapped in bandages due to the knife wound and her own poison, General Po and ChenMing held their breath, wary of what the girl would do when they saw BaiYing with big eyes.

“What are you doing?” YeMu couldn’t resist when BaiYing’s hand was already holding her injured hand, which almost rotting from the wound of sharp objects, plus being exposed to her own poison, she was in pretty bad shape.

Slowly from BaiYing’s palm came greenish energy that covered the wound on the girl’s arm, YeMu widened her eyes, how could that kid give off such strong energy without any effort? Is he really the predestined WahYe King, what the prophecies say all this time? She didn’t want to believe it, but according to her father, there would be a very powerful King who ruled over WahYe so that all nations would submit to him, could it be, an innocent little boy with a sweet and cute face in front of her, is that King? This is very unlikely, all the fairy tales that her father used to tell her, but that all just a fantasy.

“W-what are you doing?”

BaiYing smiled, he saw YeMu’s face, where there was a large scar on her left cheek, according to AYa it was a wound caused by her own poison, BaiYing was about to raise her hand to touch her cheek, but YeMu covered it, and lowered her head, deeply.

“Don’t”

BaiYing frowned, what did she mean by no?

“Sis”

YeMu raised her head, looking at BaiYing, with a pair of teary eyes, the girl pulled her body and lowered her head onto the floor, saluting BaiYing after the child healed the wound on her hand without a single trace.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me, forgive me for sinning all this time, this wound, let it serve as a reminder to me for what I have done all this time, just let it like this”

General Po and ChenMing looked at each other, then looked at YeMu who knelt so deeply that BaiYing had a hard time waking him up.

“Sister, don’t be like this, come on, get up Sis.”

YeMu crying, her body was shaking and crying loudly.

“Ems”

...

The afternoon sun, the sky from a distance looks very beautiful, with orange color along the horizontal that divides the heavens and the earth below, the wind from the PaiHua valley blows hard, the red flag of the WahYe state symbol flutters steadily at the tip of the pole, blowing away all the great stories of the long lost country it was like a flower petal that was blown far away, on one of the high roofs below the bedroom window on the second floor of a large palace, where one could see the sunset clearly, BaiYing and YiFang who sat alone enjoying the very calm atmosphere up there.

“Wow that’s great”

YiFang smiled, a young man who had experienced a lot since escaping from the palace, since wandering in search of the Black Water Clan, killing many enemies, to the point of almost losing his own life, a thin body, and with many scars on his face that make he was no longer a handsome young man from ChangSan city, YiFang’s older brother who was now, like most warriors, wandering without having a fixed place to stay.

“The sun is so beautiful, it’s so lovely,” said BaiYing with his eyes wandering at the view in front of them.

YiFang smiled, he couldn’t stop or get bored at all to see the face of the young man in front of him, a face that was shining so brightly in the orange afternoon sun, a smile so beautiful that his cheeks were red, sweet lips, a face that was so enchanting, the face that had always been in his mind, day and night. BaiYing looked at him.

“Brother, will stay here right? Ying’er has prepared a house for you, the girls in WahYe is very beautiful, brother, in the future, you will be able to have a family of your own, so that you will not be lonely anymore.”

Hearing BaiYing’s innocent words, as usual, YiFang smiled, he thought too much that the child in front of him had changed, at least became more mature, but as it turned out, he was still the same HuaBaiYing he knew, a child who was so adorable especially when he smiled so wide that all his eyes disappeared.

“Hehehe”

“This kid, is your brother is like someone who will settle down somewhere and get married? Then what after that? Become a farmer?”

BaiYing frowned at YiFang’s question.

“Em, it’s not bad if you do farming, but Ying’er would suggest brother open a hardware store or anything similar which can earns a lot of money, later Grandma and the new Palace Council will make regulations, many regulations, including to open this city to the public, there will be a lot of people visiting for vacation or business, at least, let people know how WahYe really is, we still have a lot to do, everyone, will really need help from all parties to make it happen, actually, Ying’er wants you to be more occupying one of the seats on the council members, however, big brother will definitely be burdened by a lot, so, Ying’er only hopes, that brother can enjoy life much better, just like the other citizens.”

YiFang looked around him, the city wasn’t too crowded, but very beautiful and peaceful, this was indeed a good place to live in someday when he was old.

“Heh, this is, indeed a very nice place, life will definitely be very pleasant here, but...” BaiYing turned his head when he heard the word but, just as YiFang turned his head towards him, the man smiled.

“Heh, maybe, someday, when big brother is old, for now, brother wants to travel first, to atone the sins, for what I have done, all this time, got XiaoYing’s family killed...”

BaiYing held YiFang’s hand stopping his words.

“Brother, no, please don’t talk about that anymore, you already know, who ordered you and all of them attacked the Hua family, the killers of father, mother, and sister BaiYen, that’s not what you wanted, please don’t ever talk about that again”

YiFang pulled his lips, smilingly touched BaiYing’s hand that was holding his.
