CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

407 You’re The Best

Previously on the lower floor of the bungalow.

Li Mo glanced up at the room where Bai Ying hadn’t come down since last night, and the Crown Prince recounted his frustration at not being able to do anything to make the young man forget about his trauma, it was a very heavy blow for him, of course, from the Crown Prince’s explanation, less more Li Mo understood the situation.

Li Mo lifted his teacup, sipping it slowly.

“Your Majesty, it is said, the most effective way to get rid of a bad dream is to give him another sweet dream, until, slowly, or quickly, he will forget the bad dream, as if it had never happened, but, this, must be done as soon as possible, because if it’s waiting for too long, the nightmare will become a part of him”

Luo Xiang who was lost in thought turned his head, listening to Li Mo’s words quite seriously. Until he understood what it meant.

“Hmm”

........

In the afternoon.

Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand who finally came out of his room to enjoy the fresh air outside. See the beautiful blue sky view with many birds of various shapes and bright colours.

.....

Their voices could be heard in the distance.

“Your Majesty, look at that bird, what a beautiful colour” Bai Ying exclaimed cheerfully.

How the boy forgot his sorrow so quickly, he turned back into a very excited Bai Ying.

He would have run to see a bird perched on a tree not far in front of them if not for the Crown Prince’s hand to hold him.

“Ying Ying”

“They are so cute, oh, suddenly Ying misses Xiao Qe and Xiao Mei so much”

“Why are you out of nowhere thinking of those two stinky creatures?”

Bai Ying turned his head with sharp eyes.

“Your Majesty, they are not stinky, just, rarely bathe”

“Who will bathe them?”

Bai Ying thought.

“Um, Ying doesn’t know either, who’s going to bathe them, hmh? They must be very naughty, playing in the valley until they forgot to go home, those two ugly creatures.”

Luo Xiang shook his head, the change in the child’s character was indeed terrible.

“You said they didn’t smell bad, but they’re ugly, heh, better ask old man Lee to chop them into soup”

Bai Ying squeaked.

“Your Majesty, don’t do that, they’re not good to eat”

“Says who?”

Bai Ying thought.

“Eh, B-because, they’re stinky and are ugly”

Luo Xiang refrained from laughing.

“Oh, then brother will ask old man Lee to bathe them, dress them nicely and then cut them into soup.”

Bai Ying squeaked again.

“Your Majesty”

And Luo Xiang really likes to tease the boy, he is so expressive, it’s really nice to tease him.

Without realizing it, the two of them walked until the sun slowly back to its place.

“Then, what does Ying Ying want for dinner?” asked the Crown Prince.

Bai Ying thought hard, he is really hungry since last night, he didn’t think about it but he does feel so hungry now.

“Em, old lady Ne Ma’s chicken soup is delicious, Ying er wants to eat it again later.”

Luo Xiang smiled, pinching Bai Ying’s nose exasperatedly.

“I know that what my Ying Ying likes must be everything that is so delicious.”

Luo Xiang smiles, grabs Bai Ying’s soft fingers and kissed them, pulled the young man’s thin waist holds him so close and even tickled him, making the kid excited.

“Ach Your Majesty, please watch your hand”

“Hehehe I can’t help it, my pretty Concubine is really tempting and so refreshing, what can I do?”

Bai Ying can’t help just stay so close to the big man and walk side by side, they really enjoy the nice weather.

“Hehehe Your Majesty”

The young man laugh until he fell silent as he remembered something.

He stopped in his movement.

“Ying what’s wrong?” Luo Xiang asked.

The young man looked at him for a while, there was so much he wanted to ask but the Crown Prince thought he knew what he wanted to know.

He pulled Bai Ying’s hand back to continue his way.

“That girl can’t talk, can’t even say a word, it’s useless forcing her to say anything about Huo Li”

Bai Ying held the Crown Prince’s hand.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang turned his body to look at the youth who was looking at him with a pair of hopeful eyes.

“Ying Ying”

“She is very poor Your Majesty, Ying’er can feel that she has something very sad in her heart, but, she has no choice and can’t say anything, Ying thought, she wants to say something through the scales she left behind back then, that girl, was not an ordinary human Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that right?”

“Of course, I know, but she is helpless without Huo Li, and she doesn’t want to say anything at all, Su Lang and Ge Lu have already asked the city soldiers to help track him down, Elder Hei Hu is also looking for him, we’ll just have to wait for news.”

“Ying, can you help her to talk?”

Hearing Bai Ying’s words, Luo Xiang turned his head with big eyes. He understood what the boy meant.

“Heh, no way” Luo Xiang let go of his hand and turned his back from the boy.

Bai Ying grabbed the Crown Prince’s palm back.

“Your Majesty”

“That creature is very dangerous, if it really is the incarnation of a red bird, it could absorb your energy, we won’t take that risk Ying”

“Your Majesty, I have a lot of it, Your Majesty sees for yourself how Er Wang and Xiao Wu can’t even absorb Ying’er’s energy, let alone that red bird.”

Luo Xiang pulled his hand away from Bai Ying, looking at the young man sharply.

“The element of the red bird is fire, and according to Elder Yi that element is very strong, it can paralyze you even if Ying Ying has two other elements, brother doesn’t want to take that risk”

Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince for a moment, looked at him coldly, then lowered his hand with a languid face.

“Heh, who told Ying er to be so weak, that His Majesty doesn’t even trust Ying er in the slightest.”

Hearing Bai Ying’s tone and his words, Luo Xiang stuttered, he tried to grab the young man’s hand back, he might have hurt his feelings.

“Eh Ying Ying, that’s not what big brother meant.”

Bai Ying brushed off the Crown Prince’s hand and continued walking, he took a deep breath.

“Heh, Ying really such a lousy”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, the kid, really gave him a headache.

“This kid” he finally caught up with Bai Ying and grabbed his hand.

“Okay, fine, brother will let Ying Ying communicate with her.”

Bai Ying’s eyes widened with excitement.

“Really, Your Majesty?” The young man hugged the Crown Prince’s hand again sweetly.

“Heheh Your Majesty is the best”

Luo Xiang was indeed the weakest in dealing with his concubine who occasionally sulked, it could become a big problem later.

“Yeah yeah, indeed His Highness the Crown Prince is very kind, especially to his very mischievous concubine”

Bai Ying chuckled, the two continuing their way towards the back of the Li family mansion compound, where they temporarily put A Er in an unused warehouse.

“Your Majesty, a Er is indeed the incarnation of a vermilion bird, right? But, why is she so submissive to Huo Li? Then who is Huo Li?” Bai Ying asked all the way.

.....

Luo Xiang shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know if a Er is really the incarnation of the vermilion bird, she supposes to not submit to anyone, and Huo Li, he has enormous strength but a very cruel heart, Brother heard he sacrificed half of his men for training”

Bai Ying nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, when Ying er was taken captive by him, that person grudgingly killed his own maid, but, why did he do it?”

“Do you need a reason to be crazy?”

“Heh, and he’s still out there, because of Ying, that guy has already recovered from his injuries and even got Ying’er energy, Ying is really lousy” Bai Ying scowled.

The Crown Prince raised his hand to pinch Bai Ying’s frowning chin.

“Who dares to say this great concubine of mine is lousy? How could my Ying Ying be lousy?”

The young man smiled, the Crown Prince’s face at that time was like freshwater that made his chest so cool, just looking at him could make the restlessness in his heart fade away, tightly embraced by the Crown Prince’s arms.

“Hehehe Your Majesty is the only one who said Ying er is not bad, in this world Your Majesty is the best with Ying er”

Luo Xiang couldn’t hide his smile, really excited to see Bai Ying’s cute face, felt like hugging him and pinching him to his heart’s content.

“This kid, did you just know that?”

Bai Ying laughed until all his eyes disappeared in it.

“Hehehe already know that”
