CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

328 BaiYing’s Dilema

ChenMing groaned on the floor, his eyes still catching a glimpse of BaiYing while cursing.

“Insolent kid”

Soon after.

BaiYing was already sitting in the centre of the pavilion, finally, he couldn’t just leave after severely injuring his brother, even though he didn’t use much of his internal strength, ChenMing’s body was still battered from the impact. While helping his brother with his healing aura, BaiYing’s face was still bent in a frown.

“Why are you making such a face? Big brother the one who should be like that because my beloved who is very kind and gentle turned out to be able to hit his own brother really hard” ChenMing exclaimed.

BaiYing raised his head, furrowed his brows at ChenMing’s angry face.

“Forgive Ying’er brother, I didn’t mean to, who told you to be so noisy, but now Ying is healing you isn’t it?”

Elder Yi who was sitting not far besides them lifted his teacup.

“Heh, XiaoYing, looks like we need to start our meditation practice right away, your inner strength is so powerful but uncontrollable, with that much power XiaoYing shouldn’t be able to weaken so quickly like yesterday, and this time, it’s fortunate that XiaoYing only expended very little internal energy, or otherwise, this room could be destroyed.”

.....

BaiYing widened his eyes.

“Is that really Elder Yi? Oh, how is this? What if Ying’er accidentally attacks someone else again, ouch, what should Ying do?”

“Well, that must have been a lot of practice” Elder Yi continued.

“Well it will take a lot of time to train in XinHua, a spacious place and a much better environment” ChenMing continued.

Hearing this BaiYing stuttered.

“Eh I, that’s” he avoided the topic very much, but ChenMing’s hand held him back.

“What do you want to say XiaoYing? Don’t be silent, this is about yourself, can’t your big brother as your brother say what’s good for you? And, in your heart, you also think like that right? Say something”

“Brother, why are you suddenly like this? Yesterday you still agree to come here, but.. Why are you now thinking like this?” BaiYing asked in an unenthusiastic voice.

“Yes, because you are aware of many things that have happened, in fact, both countries cannot just unite, many things have happened, bad things, yesterday’s incident is only one of many things that happened to WahYe residents, we don’t know, how many more oppressed and live in the shadow of YueYang’s cruelty back then, they were all your citizens, whom you must protect” ChenMing exclaimed.

Elder Yi stroked his chin.

“That could be true Prince Chen, but, all of these things happened before XiaoYing was born, also before WahYe rose up, if you look back, all these problems would not be solved, but, heh, whatever you said is true, as the king of WahYe, XiaoYing indeed have an obligation to make all citizens feel protected, this, is very difficult”

BaiYing squeezed his hand, he frowned in deep thought, until he slowly got up from his seat.

“Ying, just going back to the room brother, Ying’s head hurts, want to take a rest for a while”

ChenMing thought, he was at a loss for words even though his eyes seemed to be jumping out of place seeing how the boy was trying to escape from their serious conversation at that time.

“This little brother” BaiYing walked over without paying any heed to his voice.

He glanced at Elder Yi, the man shook his head.

“Prince Chen, no matter what, XiaoYing needs some time to think, let him think for a while”

“Can’t do that, Elder Yi, that little brother is so innocent and stupid, if we don’t make the decision for him he can’t make up his own mind, that kid, just a hint of persuasion from that rotten Crown Prince and he will melting, heh, how can he bring him back to XinHua, erm how about if just drug him? We’re leaving at midnight”

“You know it’s impossible Prince Chen, although XiaoYing can be affected by strong drugs, but the security in the palace is impossible to penetrate, don’t think about something useless”

ChenMing pursed his lips in thought.

“Um, then how? Try old man help me think about it.”

Elder Yi casually raised his teacup.

“Heh, this, it’s none of my business, after all, XiaoYing is not a child anymore, why not just leave the decision in his hands”

“This can’t be allowed, that stupid kid”

.....

Yan and Bi tried to match BaiYing’s fast pace as soon as he left the Peacock Pavilion.

“Your Majesty, please don’t walk too fast”

The young man seemed lost, walking so fast without waiting for the maids and the little guards to follow him. The Peacock Pavilion was located not far from their main pavilion, the West Dragon, where BaiYing and others had arrived so quickly, he stopped his way, who was half running when he saw the group already in front of the gates of the West Dragon Pavilion, a group with so many maids and little guards, that’s Her Majesty the Queen’s entourage.

The Queen was about to lift her feet into the gate when she felt someone was already looking at her, she stopped her steps, turned to BaiYing who was watching her from the path.

“Y-Your Majesty the Queen”

BaiYing swallowed hard, this is very awkward, after what happened, is BaiYing ready to meet that woman? And she came to visit while the Crown Prince was in his study, obviously, the beautiful woman was looking for him.

Sluuurrppp.

The sound of tea being poured into a small jade cup on the round table where BaiYing and Queen were sitting together, they were sitting in the garden behind the pavilion, the atmosphere of the early afternoon was indeed very pleasant, it would be a shame if they missed it, only, at that time the young man didn’t felt so comfortable, however, his opinion about the Queen was already different from what he had thought all along.

And, the Queen realized that the woman slowly raised the small cup of tea, elegantly drinking it with her two slender fingers.

Clekk.

BaiYing raised his head as the small cup was placed back on the table.

“Hemh, at that time, the Empress was still very young, having just been crowned as the Queen, when the biological mother of the Crown Prince, Consort Liu became the centre of attention of the Emperor because of her beauty, this Empress, was always anxious and lived in fear, afraid that the Emperor would turn away and love another concubine more than this Queen.”

The Queen wiped her lips with her silk handkerchief, slowly continuing her story.

“And, just at that time, there was news that the Emperor would again take some concubines from a village that was famous for its very beautiful women. Only recently did I remember the name of the village, it’s MukMu village, the Queen’s orders are very clear, capture all beautiful women, whoever it was, and locked them up for a while when the Emperor visited the village on his annual visit, however, that order ended so badly, some officials took the opportunity to finish off the village under the pretext of the Queen’s order, that was very sad.”

BaiYing had a moment to see Queen with a sharp gaze, but he turned his head when the woman turned to look at him.

“That was the Queen’s order, everyone knows it”

The Queen nodded, tears coming out of the corners of her eyes, she slowly wiped them.

“That, no doubt, was an order from the Queen, and I am very sorry to know that so many victims fell that day, including the women who were captured, they all tried to resist until the soldiers were forced to finish them off, ums, this, become the thorn that keeps piercing my heart until now. ”

“Then, what happened to those women bodies?” Bai Ying asked.

The Queen took a deep breath, having bowed her head in grief.

“Ems, they were buried in the same pit, if the Emperor found out what had happened, he would have been very angry and executed the commander who led the raid that day, that attack has never existed in any reports, all the residents around the village knew that the village was attacked by bandits, and women kidnapped to be used as material for lust, all of these never appeared and seemed to disappear from any history, as if, nothing big happened.”

BaiYing held back the tears he couldn’t stop, a drop was flowing at the corner of his eye, but his eyes are sharp, his chest is churning with anger, even so, he tries to hold it in, lest he expends his internal energy without being able to control it and injure others again, let alone the Queen and others in this room do not have any martial arts let alone internal energy, he could have killed them.

BaiYing exhaled, trying to relieve the heat in his chest, he looked at the Queen who did look regretful at that time.

“Then, what does Her Majesty the Queen mean to tell Ying’er all this? Her Majesty clearly knows how Ying’er feels right? MukMu citizens are WahYe citizens, and they, are Ying’er’s responsibility now, their problem, is Ying’s problem too, this means, we, maybe in two opposing positions, if Her Majesty the Queen says this only so that Ying understands and assuming none of this ever existed, then Her Majesty might have made a misstep”
