CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

318 All’s Dead

Lan’er’s eyes widened at BaiYing’s story at that time. They were already sitting together enjoying the morning air in the Peach Pavilion after BaiYing returned to the palace very late last night.

“Then, what is that person willing to do? Th-this is so dangerous little brother, are they really going to attack the palace? ouch, this could be a big problem” said Lan’er while enjoying her breakfast at a round table in the courtyard of the Peach pavilion, not far from the big building, across the pond and a small bridge. Of course, the Eagle Pavilion, where the Crown Prince was seen sitting in his study with eyes watching BaiYing from afar, that person didn’t seem like he would take his eyes off him.

“Don’t be so loud, Sis, people will hear us, this is a very confidential matter, Ying’er only tells you,” whispered BaiYIng.

Lan’er approached, her face looking serious.

“But this is a very big problem Brother, then what should Sister do to help you? Do you know who that person is?”

BaiYing thought, he frowned.

“Em, I can’t see her face, Sis, but Ying can smell the flower fragrance from the woman’s body, smells so good, her skin is smooth, her sweet voices, from her voice it seems that she is indeed a beautiful young girl”

Lan’er thought.

“Beautiful girls, um, there are so many beautiful girls everywhere, are you sure there’s nothing special about being able to recognize them?”

.....

BaiYing shook his head.

“Em no, but Ying can recognize the smell when that person comes again, the smell, characteristic of her voice too, only, when are they going to launch their attack, if they have planned to kidnap Ying’er and Brother MingMing, that means, they might have plans to launch the attack in no time soon.”

Lan’er bit her cherry while listening to BaiYing’s story very carefully.

“That person, Brother, next time you don’t have to hold yourself, why don’t you arrest them right away? The problem will be solved soon right? You won’t have to question and guess who the attackers are, this is very tensing.”

“The problem is Sis, we also have to know who the mastermind was, if Ying acted at that time, then whoever planned the attack would be difficult to find out, next time that person could come and commit the sudden attack”

The conversation between the two was getting more and more exciting, of course, both of them had to stop their conversation when they saw Fan’er who had come that morning for their regular class.

“Eh you guys have come, what are you talking about? Why are you guys starting to eat without me, you guys purposely avoiding me, isn’t it?” Fan’er immediately sat beside Lan’er enjoying their breakfast.

“Who’s avoiding you? Sister Fan’er has bad thoughts, anyways, who told you to come late?” said Lan’er.

Fan’er smiled,

“Hehehe forgive me, I’m not sure what to wear today, as well as prepare clothes for tomorrow”

BaiYing frowned, is there anything else going on tomorrow?

“What would happen by tomorrow Sis?”

Fan’er waved her handkerchief at BaiYing who was waiting for her answer.

“This little brother, why don’t you know about this matter? Oh well, I don’t blame you, you guys just came back from a long trip, who didn’t invite Sis Fan’er to come with you, again, you guys really have the heart to leave me, why are you staying away from Big Sister, ouch, it’s really sad...”

“Sister” interrupted BaiYing who had been waiting for an answer while Fan’er was busy feeling sorry for herself.

Fan’er chuckled, BaiYing’s eyes were already sharp.

“This kid, you really have no patience, it’s not a big event, just the annual Palace meeting towards the end of the year, and usually all family members will be invited including the concubines and the little princes”

“Heh, Palace annual meeting, It sounds really boring,” said BaiYing.

“Of course, it’s going to be fun Ying, there will be a dinner party, dance performance, magic”

“Sister didn’t you enjoy it yesterday at the Queen’s birthday, why do you like partying so much? This is called a waste of state money.” BaiYing was exasperated, he had just returned from a long trip but didn’t seem to have time to rest, there were so many annual palace activities.

Lan’er chuckled, BaiYing’s face was cute when he was angry.

“This little brother, calm down, how fierce you are, indeed the event is like that, it can’t be helped, we just can only come along, let’s think this as something to eliminates our boredom once in a while” continued Fan’er.

“Which part is eliminated boredom?”

“Oh yeah Sis, tomorrow it will coincide with the big mega moon, we will be able to see the moon together in the Peony field, this will be very exciting”

Hearing that Bai Ying was silent, the celebration of the big mega moon.

He hadn’t a full year there, so he didn’t understand that the palace’s annual event included enjoying the big moon sighting at the last month of the year, time went by so fast, he remembered, last year he was still sitting at the porch of his house enjoying the big moon and its shadow which falls on the surface of his small fish pond in the backyard of his house, his room is indeed located at the back of his big house.

“Heh, so many things happened, Ying’er doesn’t know what day it is, sis.” BaiYing’s voice was faintly be heard, he supported his chin with his hands with an unenthusiastic face.

Lan’er glanced at Fan’er, what her sister’s words might have made BaiYing sad,

“Em, little brother, it might be a little cloudy tomorrow, maybe the moon won’t appear perfectly, we don’t have to watch it, just eat and watch the dance,” said Fan’er, Lan’er nodded quickly, both of them seemed to know what made the young man suddenly gloomy after putting on his fierce face earlier.

“Yeah I think so too, hemh, let’s just eat sis, in the morning big sister will ask Le’er to go to the market in the middle of the city and buy special ingredients for sister’s cooking, even though the palace has ordered a lot of food but they definitely don’t buy ingredients I need, um, for a very cold weather, Sister will make sweet meat and red bean-filled dumplings, you will definitely like it.”

BaiYing took a deep breath.

“Heh”

.........

Towards noon, at the Eagle Pavilion.

LuoXiang sat in front of the table with many reports presented by CiaoTi, ShinYa also join him, stood not far behind him and read some reports that had confused the Crown Prince, the young shaman, the young adviser of the Crown Prince was trying to figuring out the meaning of some of the points that made the Prince The Crown Prince confused.

“This one Your Majesty...”

With the windows wide open, of course the Crown Prince could still keep an eye on BaiYing from a distance.

BeiYau approached from outside, quickly.

“Your Majesty” the young bodyguard bowed his head in front of the Crown Prince.

“What did you guys get, what did those people say?” he asked.

BeiYau raised his head, he looked stuttered, after early in the morning he had left the palace on the mission of the Crown Prince to interrogate the men who kidnapped BaiYing and ChenMing and were about to take them out of the city.

The Crown Prince raised his head, his big eyes looking at BeiYau sharp, the bodyguard didn’t answer him immediately,

“Then?”

BeiYau lowered his head back.

“Report Your Majesty, all prisoners, found dead, their mouths foaming with all the other senses oozing blood, they are poisoned”

The Crown Prince stopped his hand’s movement, looked at BeiYau,

“What happened? Wasn’t official Hu himself guarding them all night? Has there been an attack?”

BeiYau shook his head.

“No, Your Majesty, last night until dawn Official Hu still had time to see the prisoners in good condition, until late in the morning, when breakfast arrived, the officer who brought food found the prisoners, all of them lying on the floor, previously there someone who still alive until the last painful moans of the dying prisoner.”

The Crown Prince squeezed his fingers, deep in thought.

“These people, have prepared everything thoroughly, whoever the mastermind is they must have made preparations so that their subordinates can’t talk to anyone when they are caught, they have poisoned and killed their own people”

“Who was being poisoned, Your Majesty? ” Bai Ying’s voice.

Crown Prince was surprised when he lifted his head and found BaiYing already standing at the door of his study, even though he had just seen the boy in Peach Pavilion’s study room,

“YingYing? What are you doing here?” asked the Crown Prince, clearly, the young man’s eyes were wide open looking at the Crown Prince.

“Servant class is over, um, but, Ying overheard if someone gets poisoned and dies? Are those the people we caught yesterday Your Majesty?”

BeiYau backed away, while BaiYIng was approaching, Crown Prince immediately came out of his desk grabbing BaiYing’s hand leading him to a table not far from his study.

“Em, this matter is still under investigation, but, it looks like they died from poisoning.”
