CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

570 Throwing Two Birds With One Stone

The shabby little carriage swayed. It’s a bit hard when it passes through the puddles of roads that start to become irregular. Inside the carriage which from the outside was like a farmer’s and rancher’s carriage, there was usually a pile of hay covering the vantage point where a person lay motionless inside.

Bai Ying slowly opened his eyes. The sun slipped through the wooden holes of the shabby carriage hitting his eyes, which blinked several times after a moment of unconsciousness.

He knew what had happened. With his abilities, what drug could keep him unconscious for long enough? But, this might be his way of stopping Chai Ni, if true, then at this point, Chai Ni thought she had caught him. He just hopes that his servant, Bi is okay as she was clearly under the influence of Chai Ni’s charming spell to lure him to get near the back gate where the men caught him.

......

Loud table banging. The Crown Prince was furious. He punished all the soldiers who were supposed to be on duty at the back fence but all left their posts because of the commotion going on elsewhere.

Don’t know what he has to do, annoyed, angry, and anxious all in one, how could Bai Ying disappear right in front of his own nose? Meanwhile, General Po, with his soldiers has searched everywhere looking for clues about where Bai Ying was taken away, he can only wait without being able to do much. What is certain is that the abductors might be Princess Chai Ni’s subordinates or the Black Water clan who had previously created such a mess that all eyes were diverted.

Luo Xiang who was sitting in his chair clenched his fists in deep thought. From the entrance, Chen Ming and Xiao Hong who walked calmly towards the Crown Prince made many people kneel down, even Bi who was crying until her eyes were swollen and trembling. The poor little girl had already realized her mistake, even dying was worthy of her right now. She had been punished by kneeling all day until her legs were shaking.

Luo Xiang waved his hand asking Bei Yau and others to disperse everyone kneeling in front of him, including Bi who could barely stand because of her numb legs, a maidservant had to help her up and get out of the way.

Chen Ming approached the Crown Prince.

.....

“You know, when Xiao Ying finds out that you have punished his servant like that he will be very upset,” said Chen Ming who looked calm sitting on the chair beside the Crown Prince.

Luo Xiang looked at Chen Ming sharply. Seeing the Prince who looked very calm despite what had happened to his brother.

“Prince Chen, you are aware that Ying Ying has been kidnapped, and you can sit quietly and don’t feel any anxiety. By now Ying Ying has probably been taken quite far from here.”

Chen Ming grabbed the teacup on the table and blew out the hot smoke before taking a slow sip.

“Well it can’t be helped, that little brother is old enough to know what he’s doing, we can only wait for what will happen next”

Luo Xiang looked at Chen Ming with big eyes.

“What do you mean he’s old enough to know what he’s doing? Are you guys planning something?” he asked.

Chen Ming put the teacup back in its place. He looked at the Crown Prince with his round eyes.

“You realize, that I can always find younger brother wherever he is at the moment, don’t you?”

Luo Xiang widened his eyes, that’s right, why he always forgets about that? Chen Ming had a tracking coin that could always find Bai Ying’s whereabouts, no matter where he was. He stood up from his seat.

“Then what are we waiting for, let’s go find him.”

But Chen Ming just sat quietly in his place. He smiled as he adjusted his long hair that fell near his cheek, and tucked it behind his ear.

“Hehe, I thought you were smart and knew Xiao Ying better than anyone, but this situation has closed your mind.”

“Prince Chen”

Chen Ming stood up from his seat, clasping his hands behind his waist.

“You know, with Xiao Ying’s current ability, which drug can knock him out for more than a few seconds? With his strength slowly returning, which great rope could bind his hands? That, it’s almost impossible, isn’t it, Your Highness the Crown Prince?”

Luo Xiang widened his eyes. That’s right, Bai Ying wasn’t a weakling like what he had always worried about. He clenched his fists, if so, does that mean Ying Ying deliberately threw himself into the girl’s hands? Ying Ying.

“Stupid kid, why does he always do things recklessly by himself?”

.......

Far away on the road leading to Xian Yang city border.

The shabby horse carriage had stopped in front of an inn that looked deserted from the outside but on the inside of the walls, there were several foreigners in ordinary citizen clothes who sat quietly glancing at each other. It seemed like they were a group of people who pretended to be ordinary people to avoid suspicion due to the soldiers often patrolling the streets. The space for these people was limited since Bai Ying’s disappearance from General Po’s residence all exits were closed to suspicious people who wanted to pass. Somehow, the carriage with Bai Ying inside was able to escape surveillance, of course, there was Princess Chai Ni disguised as an old granny who somehow managed to convince the gatekeeper to let her pass without even bothering to check what was inside the carriage.

Bai Ying slowly opened his eyes. Pretending to be unconscious made him really fall asleep and didn’t realize he had been brought into that shabby room. He turned to see someone removing her hairdo, and also removing the makeup to reveal her real face showed after all the heavy makeup was clean. Princess Chai Ni, slowly removed the outer layer of her dirty and smelly clothes as she disguised herself as an old granny.

“You are so pretty”

Bai Ying’s voice startled the young girl who was facing the mirror as she took off her outer garment. Quickly she tighten her clothes with her eyes widened when she saw Bai Ying who had woken up. Looking at her with his big eyes.

“Y-You, how did you woke up already?” she asked in a surprised tone.

Bai Ying tried to lift his head, he had been lying motionless for so long that his body felt sore and even sore in several places. He sat supporting his body with his hands behind him, looking at Princess Chai Ni who was really surprised.

“Em, what, I shouldn’t have regained consciousness by now?” Bai Ying asked back.

Chai Ni took off her layer of outerwear and threw it onto the chair not far beside her. She approached Bai Ying and looked at him with big eyes. Chai Ni stroked Bai Ying’s front hair gently. Smiling with witty eyes saw Bai Ying’s pair of deep eyes.

“Sweet child, you must be tired, sleep again, we will soon approach the Dai Yang border, and when we will arrive, I will wake you up”

“Dai Yang border? What are you planning to do, Princess?” Bai Ying asked innocently.

Chai Ni’s delicate palm caressed Bai Ying’s cheek gently. Tidy his hair and tuck it behind his ear.

“Em, well, just, looking at the scenery, you, must have never been to Dai Yang right? It’s a very beautiful, peaceful place, and there is almost no evil there, you will definitely like it very much.”

For a moment, Bai Ying could see a flash of white light in Chai Ni’s eyes, it must be her charming spell, which, could not have the slightest effect on him at all.

But in order to carry out his plan, he had to pretend that the charming spell works on him. It was also because he didn’t know where Chai Ni had hidden the Charm plaque and the Fire Lightning sacred weapon. He had to take it from the young girl’s hands to prevent anything bad from happening.

Bai Ying lowered his body back down. All he needed to do was lower his body and close his eyes again, even though, he had slept too long.

Chai Ni was still caressing Bai Ying’s cheek, even though he had closed his eyes tightly. Bai Ying’s pair of eyes with large eyelids closed with long and curly eyelashes, he is really very attractive.

“Hehe, at least, at the end of my plan, I can keep the peerless beauty in my hands, this is very interesting. When everyone leaves me, I will keep you to myself, and, hey, brother Lo Yi, he will surely bow to me when he finds out that the soul of his beloved is in my hands. This, tantamount to throwing two birds with one stone, is perfect” Chai Ni whispered.
