CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

350 Behind the Hood

“Does it really hurt? Is it? It must be very painful, we can’t ignore this, let me see.”

SuLang took off BaiYing’s shoes, as well as the cloth that was wrapped around his feet, his eyes widened at the sight of the rather large wound on the youth’s ankle, it’s like a burn.

“Oh this, the wound is quite severe, how could this happen, that bastard ShiShen, how could he randomly injure innocent people like this, I should have beaten him harder than he deserves, that bastard!” The young master continued to curse, while BaiYing actually felt somewhat guilty, that young master Shi couldn’t possibly harm him, how could he harm him? That’s very impossible, but, at this time it was better for him to pretend to be weak to get the sympathy of the young man who he said would protect him, that’s too sweet.

SuLang took off BaiYing’s shoes and put the feet on his lap, luckily he always carried medicine everywhere in his pocket, but, his movement stopped, saw the tiny and clean, smooth and white feet now on his lap, flawless smooth skin, who’s the young man in front of him really is? SuLang thought suspiciously.

BaiYing couldn’t refuse the young master to treat him, how could he? But, just as the young master held his feet, something popped into his head.

“Remember this, if anyone dares to touch your leg, I’ll cut off his hand!” Crown Prince’s voice, BaiYing’s eyes widened, he pulled his feet quickly startling Young Master SuLang.

“Eh forgive me”

Indirectly, this is called cheating from the Crown Prince, he can’t let anyone else touch his feet, of course other than his brother Ming Ming, if the Crown Prince finds out about this, he will blame him for cheating.

BaiYing stretched out his hand asking for the ointment from young master Su’s hand.

.....

“Eh sorry young master, let me treat it myself, no need to trouble young master Su”

But SuLang’s hand brushed him off.

“What’s troublesome? It’s not troublesome, put your feet up, it won’t take long”

BaiYing couldn’t refuse, young master Su was more stubborn than he thought, he ended up just sitting half lying back and letting Young Master Su treat his wound, which, in fact, was really nothing, it will heal by itself in no time, young master Su is just wasting his effort.

Young Master even tore off the bottom of his clothes and bandaged the wound on BaiYing’s ankle after applying the ointment, it hurts, it really hurts, BaiYing thought biting the edge of his lip, he let out too much flame to burn his own skin.

“Well, tonight, it might feel throbbing, burns are like this, but, fortunately, I always carry this cold ointment, this ointment can really relieve pain, so, tonight you can sleep in peace.”

BaiYing looked around, this is an empty house belonging to a resident that has been deserted for quite a while, as seen from the damaged foundation, very dirty floor, torn windows and doors, at least the roof is still intact so they won’t get rained on tonight, outside, the rains get heavier.

Rain, if it rains like this in the palace, he will sit leaning on the Crown Prince’s big and warm body and he will hug him, he, missed that moment so much, does, he was too blind to think that there was nothing more important than his love? Even his country, he, didn’t want to have such a big responsibility, just being the Crown Prince’s Concubine was actually enough for him.

SuLang who noticed BaiYing was lost in thought turned his head, trying to see the face behind the young man’s hood.

“What do you thinking about? Missing home already?”

BaiYing turned his head, he wiped the tears that had unconsciously rolled down his cheeks.

“Yes, servant, miss home”

SuLang took a deep breath.

“Heh, there’s still a chance to go back, if you go home now I think your parents will definitely understand and not scold you for running away, they’ve been worrying too much about you, so their anger might have disappeared long after realize you running away from home”

BaiYing nodded, that’s right, His Grandma and Brother MingMing must be very worried about him, he shouldn’t even think about running away, what’s really going on in his head? Such an irresponsible king.

“Eh yeah, but, Ying has to go to CuiAn, someone, waiting for me there”

SuLang frowned.

“Ying? That, your name? Ying?” he asked.

BaiYing stuttered, he forgot to say his own name out loud.

“Eh I”

“It’s not fair, you already know my name, seeing my face, but I don’t even know your name yet, let alone see your face, what, you still don’t believe me? The trip to CuiAn will be quite long you know, at least you have to change your ugly and smelly robe, get to the next city I will give you a better one”

“That, no need Young Master, it’s very troublesome

“It’s nothing, for some reason, I feel like we’re mean to be together, it’s really funny, but, I feel like I’ve known you before, did, have we met before?”

“That seems impossible young master, we have never met before” BaiYing quick replied.

SuLang tried to peek at the face behind the veil, but BaiYing won’t let him.

“Eh young master”

“Hehehe let’s just try to have a rest tonight, tomorrow we will continue our journey to SuChou, and after that, I will take you to CuiAn”

BaiYing thought that was also a good idea, the sooner the better, but, when Young Master SuLang intended to shift his seat, a very familiar voice rang out.

Kruukkk.

BaiYing’s stomach rumble sound, oh he’s so hungry, he hasn’t eaten all day how can he not be hungry? Young master Su smiled, of course, they haven’t eaten since a while ago, he is also starving.

“Eh, wait here for a moment, I think I saw that there was a sweet potato plant beside this house, let’s see what we can find”

Not long after, the roasted sweet potato was ready and cooked, the hungry BaiYing without hesitation ate it despite the hot smoke still steaming from the sweet potato in his hand.

“This is delicious”

“Hehehehe I think a young master like you must have never enjoyed sweet potatoes like this, to say this is delicious,” said SuLang.

BaiYing smiled, of course, he had eaten it while travelling with the Crown Prince before, and it tasted really good, especially when he was so hungry like this.

“Hehehe this is indeed delicious, thank you young master Su”

“No big deal”

The night is getting late, the moon that appears behind the clouds is getting higher and becomes the only light in a place far from the resident’s area, at least the atmosphere in the empty house is not so it’s so scary that BaiYing can close his eyes and sleep, he’s been tired all day, it hasn’t even been a day yet, don’t know what his brother is doing right now? Was he trying to find him? With his coins, of course, it wasn’t difficult to find him wherever he went, so, he couldn’t stay in one place long enough, no matter what he had to get to CuiAn soon.

...........

The dew glided smoothly from the surface of the wide leaves of the plants that overgrown around the empty house, the sun slowly emerged on the eastern horizon, not yet bright, with thick clouds still covering it because the rain had just stopped.

The cold air made BaiYing curl up, sleeping very comfortably on a pile of dry hay near the fireplace, the kid was still sound asleep, so sound asleep that he didn’t realize someone was sitting beside him, preparing to remove the veil covering his face.

SuLang who smiled broadly, he couldn’t wait to see the little beggar’s face since last night, because last night’s lighting was not so good so it was useless if he forced to see him, but, now the sky was clear, he smiled broadly at the beautiful shiny hair that was sticking out of the hood that covered his entire little beggar’s face, in a moment, his hand will part it and see how he looks, but, BaiYing opened his eyes wide, the young man quickly woke up when he realized someone was sitting beside him very close.

“Y-young Master”

“Hey, please forgive me, but, I’m really curious what you’re hiding under that hood of yours, er, what, you don’t mind showing your face?”

BaiYing pulled his body away, slightly away from Young Master Su.

“Eh that”

“Come on sweet child, I know, from your very sweet voice, your face must be very attractive huh, why did you even cover it up?”

“That’s not true Young master Su, my face has a contagious disease, so I deliberately covered it, so that others don’t catch it when they see my face, please forgive me, Young Master”
