CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

322 Who is She?

BaiYing turned his head towards the stage, the next show was about to start, he should have immediately warned the Emperor and the Crown Prince, but if he was there, the one who plan the attack will definitely see him, whoever the girl kidnapped them yesterday, that girl was among the guesses, and before revealing who it was, BaiYing couldn’t allow himself to be recognized by the girl who did know him.

“Eh, brother, Ying’er feels that our kidnapper is might among the performer” BaiYing’s words made ChenMing a little surprised, he turned to the group of dancers who were getting ready to go on stage,

“Performer? You mean one of them?” Chen Ming asked.

Bai Ying nodded.

“But what will they do? What, spreading poison on everyone?” Bai Ying continued.

Meanwhile, Elder Yi who heard BaiYing’s words looked very calm.

“Then? Just let them give it a try, there’s such great XiaoYing and Elder YiMan here, why be afraid? That person is only looking for death,” said Elder Yi.

Bai Ying turned his head.

“We can’t underestimate them, old man, according to His Highness the Crown Prince, it is possible that the poison of the red MeiHua Flower can paralyze nerves in an instant if it is ingested or inhaled, at that time everyone would not necessarily realize that they had been poisoned, even Elder Yi’s profound strength won’t be able to defeat it”

.....

“There isn’t any powerful poison that can cripple this old man, but if it’s true that the poison is so powerful, what’s really worrying is that if the assailant’s main goal is the Emperor, that Pai’er hasn’t trained in a long time, whether he can withstand the poison long enough with mediocre internal strength,” said Elder Yi then took a sip of the wine.

The music began to sound, the dancers had gone up to the stage showing their movements wiggling their beautiful bodies carefully, even though the girls were dancing a little bit exotically but it was one of the regional dances that were quite famous and were shown to high-ranking officials, they were one of the dance troupes that the palace had known for a long time, there should be very little chance of an attacker, unless, someone sneaked in without them knowing.

BaiYing turned his head towards the Crown Prince, who was busy chatting with the Emperor not far in front of their seat, although not so far away but he couldn’t approach him now.

As if he could read BaiYing’s thoughts, Crown Prince turned his head, he immediately recognized the young man even though he was wearing a veil, frowning at what he meant by wearing a veil like a dancer.

As he was about to stand up, the Emperor’s hand tapped his shoulder.

“Xiang’er look at them, what a beautiful dance”

Crown Prince couldn’t move much, even though he had been wanting to get close to BaiYing, that rotten Emperor, LuoXiang thought, he deliberately pranked him knowing he couldn’t stay away from his concubine, really annoying.

However, until the dance ended, nothing strange happened, let alone an attack, how could that possibly happen, while the guarding of the Golden Dragon hall was very tight and multiplied, even dancers or anyone else would not be able to pass through the guard without a clear identity.

Queen seemed to have joined the Emperor, all just the meaningless anxiety from BaiYing alone.

BaiYing sat on his chair in deep thought until his brow furrowed, as the Crown Prince slowly approached him. Just as the young man was about to turn his head and stand up, the Crown Prince was already standing behind him, causing BaiYing to fall back down.

“Ah!”

The veil that covered the lower part of BaiYing’s nose almost fell off as he sat back with the Crown Prince above him holding his hand tightly.

“My dear, why do you look so attractive tonight? Wearing a veil, showing your very beautiful eyes to everyone, this, not good, you purposely made this big brother of yours very alert.”

BaiYing pushed Crown Prince’s chest away from him, he sat back up straight.

“Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty surprise me? All a sudden.”

LuoXiang smiled mischievously, he was about to pull BaiYing’s veil but the young man held his hand.

“Your Majesty, don’t”

“Why do you have to wear a veil? Although it’s good that no one will be able to see how attractive my YingYing’s face is, everyone here already knows you, so, why bother to hide it again?”

“That’s it, Your Majesty, since everyone recognizes me, even our kidnapper back then, she was among the guests, we can’t be careless if that assailant sees Ying’er’s face and she finally thwarts the attack and we’ll never know who that person really is.”

LuoXiang frowned, he looked at the performers who had been putting on a very impressive show since then.

“Guests, you mean those performers? That is impossible Ying, they were few people who had been allowed to enter the palace through many strict selections, every detail down to the closest and furthest family, neighbours or anyone in their social circle, the palace did not arbitrarily enter people into such a strict palace. These guards and I recognize them, those people have always been the same.”

BaiYing frowned, looking at the dancing girls who came down from the stage and paid deep respects to the Emperor and Empress, who waved at them allowing them to stand and back to their place. That’s right, it was impossible for the palace to let just any random people enter, but, then, who was the attacker? Where is the girl? Although not sure they were among these people, BaiYing still had to be vigilant.

....

The battle arena in the forest is getting fiercer.

The resistance from JuYu’s men could not be underestimated, even though the strength of BeiYau’s best fighters was extraordinary but they took a long time to knock out some people, and many managed to escape despite being chased by the guard as fast as they can.

BeiYau and XuYi were busy serving JuYu, who finally BeiYau was able to drop onto the ground, his longsword was already stuck to the neck of the around sixty-year-old man, he tried to resist and would rather die but XuYi’s hands and body sit on his back held him on the ground and paralyzed him.

“Don’t think anything silly old man, at least you can still see the sun if you give up now,” said BeiYau in cold and flat words, his eyes glare as he’s ready to kill the man as the Crown Prince order him, but he still needs him now.

JuYu smirked, his lips bleeding from BeiYau’s last strike which hit his chest so hard, that Palace guard was indeed not his match.

“Hehehe, see at the morning sun, is that so important? No sun will shine beautifully if our plan failed.”

BeiYau took a deep breath, he glanced at some of his subordinates who immediately approached and tied JuYu’s feet and hands, rummaging through the man’s clothes.

“The sun will still shine, just because you don’t like all things that beautiful, doesn’t mean everything has to go black with you, somehow you just pitying yourself, short-minded, on other hand, you actually can live in peace with all the conveniences you have, you and your men abilities are above others, it’s a pity that someone who used to work in the palace could think so low as this” BeiYau said.

BeiYau glanced at his men who searched the man’s body, they had to find a clue as to who entered the palace to carry out the attack, the sky was already night, hopefully, they weren’t too late.

The young guards shook their heads, they couldn’t find anything under the man’s clothes.

JuYu smirked again.

“Heh, do you guys think we’re stupid? Whoever that person is, maybe he has done his thing now, you guys are too late, Guard Bei, and that bitch, maybe dead by now, let that person feel the excruciating pain with all of her internal organs melting in so slowly that she dies in two eyes popping out, she deserves it, this still too good for her”

BeiYau widened his eyes, he pressed the tip of his sword against the man’s neck in an instant he could just stab him to death.

“Who do you mean? Who’s this bitch you’re after? You guys went through all this trouble just to kill one woman, isn’t that an exaggeration?”

JuYu laughed, he laughed heartily even though his chest hurt from his internal injuries, he laughed even though blood kept coming out of his mouth, BeiYau’s punch hit the core of his heart, even so, the man still laughed with shining eyes as if he had won the fights.

“hahahahaha, this is really worth doing, everything is worth doing, hahahaha!”

XuYi who searched JuYu’s men approached, he carried a scroll resembling a letter of assignment from the palace in his hand, it was the seal of the YueYang palace.

“Guard Bei!”

Bei’s eyes widened, he recognized the stamp very clearly, especially the logo of the division which was sculpted on the scroll.

“This”

BeiYau without thinking rushed off.

“Damn it! I know this, come on Officer Xu, we must get back immediately, hopefully, we’re not too late.”

Meanwhile, the captive JuYu was still laughing out loud.

“Hahahaha it’s useless Bodyguard Bei, you guys must be late by now, hahahaha”
