98 Just as Expected

Meanwhile, in a closed, dark, almost no sound room, this, like the Cold pavilion, BaiYing was trying to clear his vision, his head hurt unbelievably, he was so unlucky, why did he get caught in a trap again?

“Oh my head”

He remembered that last afternoon a servant had delivered a letter for him, saying that he had to come personally to Peony garden if he didn’t want something bad to happen to Lui’s concubine, after that, the worried BaiYing thoughtlessly followed the letter’s orders and rushed over heading there, but, after that, he didn’t remember anything else. Someone might have smothered him until he was unconscious, and now, two hands tied in front, his two legs too, so tightly that it hurt his wrists. This is the Cold pavilion, and when there was no prisoner in the room because concubine Fu had been transferred, there would be no guards at the door, as far as he remembered there would be only guards in front of the gates, but, even if he screams they would not hear it, according to the rumors some scary voices often appeared in the Cold pavilion, even when there’s no one inside, so, they won’t pay any attention to it, then, who brought him there?

BaiYing was just about to pull his leg, who knows if he could loosen the knot, but he stopped after hearing the sound of heavy footsteps on the floor.

Footsteps approached from behind him, he couldn’t see it.

“Hey who are you? Let me go, do you know who you caught? A-aren’t you afraid of His Highness the Crown Prince? I made a pact with him that he will always protect me, you should let me go.”

The footsteps stopped, maybe they were very close to him, he could hear clearly the sound of snorting breaths from it when BaiYing tried to look behind him, suddenly a large figure lowered his body and lifted BaiYing’s body lightly.

“Ah! Let me go!” BaiYing tried to struggle, that man, tall as a giant, carried BaiYing’s body so easily as if he was a child in his arms, that person violently threw BaiYing’s body onto the bed.

Brukk!

.....

“Ah!” it hurt so bad, that person, no, the giant held BaiYing’s two hands with one hand, his big face sniffing BaiYing as if he was a doll to him.

“Let me go!”

Disgusting, big tall, with a dull face full of freckles resembling boils some of which have burst and many more that are almost oozing pus, yellow teeth, and a foul smell, BaiYing tried to dodge when the monster tried to kiss him.

“You smell so bad, let me go!”

That giant, BaiYing saw it for the first time, he didn’t even expect it to exist, he seemed to laugh so happily.

“Hehehehe pretty, you’re mine now, miss said I can have you for myself, emhh you smell so good, you’re so beautiful, I’ve never seen a creature as beautiful and delicate as this”

BaiYing tried to hold back the giant’s face, this is crazy, this is so crazy! he shouted in his heart, how could he be involved in something like this? This monster wasn’t in his imagination before, why was he so unlucky.

“You’re crazy, don’t come any closer!”

He was so disgusting, his saliva even dripped on BaiYing’s face. If he didn’t die from being crushed he would probably die from being poisoned by the monster’s stench.

BaiYing kept trying to restrain the giant but his strength was meaningless. That person, the monster, held his two hands and kissed him forcefully.

“Stop it! Please!” he shouted as loud as he could, hopefully, anyone who could hear him.

As BaiYing’s strength began to run out from holding back that giant, the door was violently smashed open from the outside.

Brakkkk!!

In his half-conscious state, vaguely BaiYing could see the figure of the hero who had come to save him, his savior prince.

“Hoh hoh Hoh Your Majesty”

The Crown Prince who entered quickly without thinking threw his sword at the giant’s body, even though he didn’t immediately release BaiYing even though he was already injured, that person was very strong, it even took more than ten bodyguards to rush in to get him.

“Waauuuhhhh”

The Crown Prince tried to push the monster away from the bed so he could save BaiYing.

“YingYing”

LuoXiang probably didn’t know how relieved BaiYing was to see him there.

“Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince hugged the young man tightly.

“Hoh thank Goodness YingYing”

........

So,

From the very beginning, the Crown Prince had a plan to look for physical evidence that the real culprit who harmed BaiYing and made Concubine Fu a suspect was actually Concubine Ye.

Because there was not enough evidence, the Crown Prince had to devise a strategy to find evidence or at least make Concubine Ye admit her crime, and most importantly, what is the real motive? Why she has to harm BaiYing, is it really just for the sake of her position as a concubine who aspires to become an empress? Or is there a strong motive behind it.

BaiYing was hit by a nerve poison that made him sleep for several days and hallucinated, until everyone thought he was crazy, because of his condition why not just tell everyone that he was really crazy, so that the Crown Prince had a reason to approach Concubine Ye, or rather, to be approached by concubine Ye.

BaiYing found other suspicious evidence in Lili’s pavilion, he didn’t understand what he saw until the giant held him, it turned out that the pair of yellowish eyes seen from a distance belonged to him, a big and brainless man who lived in a small storehouse beside the kitchen. He’s none other is TaPo, a foolish man who was used as a guinea pig for all kinds of poisons that YeMu made his brain damaged and his body almost rotting everywhere.

“Bei!”

The Crown Prince rushed into the Bei guard’s small official residence, which was still in the Crown Prince’s palace area because as a personal guard he had to be ready twenty-four hours to protect or serve the Crown Prince.

Bei who was lying on the bed tried to get up when he saw the Crown Prince enter quickly, but his body was weak.

“Ekh Forgive this servant Your Majesty, concubine Ye, uh, she, managed to run away”

Bei’s face looked a bit pale, the Crown Prince glanced at the physician who finished examining him.

“How is his condition?”

The old physician lowered his head.

“Report Your Majesty, Bei Guard has been hit by DaGao’s muscle paralytic poison, other name known as Dark Smoke, as long as he doesn’t expand his internal energy and take the antidote, his condition will improve soon.”

“Can’t use internal energy? Does that mean it will take quite a while to recover?” concluded the Crown Prince, the physician nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, but the antidote for this poison is very common and can be found anywhere, for now, guard Bei is not in a serious condition, I have given medicine and given acupuncture treatment to push the poison out”

The Crown Prince thought, after this incident, It made perfect sense for concubine Ye to tell him about BaiYing’s captivity as soon as possible, not because she felt sorry for BaiYing, but in order to distract him and run away, the woman was very clever knowing that she might figure out the trick, unlike the unsuspecting BeiYau until he was poisoned. That woman is really slick.

“Heh concubine YeMu”

Then, what about the condition of concubine FuLan, and also her father who was last attacked in the detention room?

FuLan ran to his father who was taken out of the palace and met him at one of the inns outside SanPo city.

“Huks father”

The woman hugged the man who was limping because of his injuries and had to be helped by two of his servants to stand up. He stood in front of his room in the inn welcoming concubine Fu who arrived that afternoon with two of his servants, several young palace guards of the Crown Prince escorted him.

“Lan’er, huhuhu thank goodness you’re okay”

Lan’er cried until she could barely talk, her body was still shaking and fear was still vivid in her eyes. She remembered clearly how she almost took her own life in the Cold pavilion when suddenly the door was opened from the outside and faintly saw concubine Hua running to save her.

“Sister Lan’er!”

Concubine Hua’s panicked voice was still clear in her memory, she was about to die but that concubine came with his two maids and lowered her quickly from the white cloth where she hung her neck.

“Huks Yen’er sister, my father, they said they will finish him off if I don’t kill myself, please let me die, I want to save my father, huks Yen’er”

Lan’er tried to rebel and let go of BaiYing’s grip but the young man held her body tightly, he even hugged her who was already crying hysterically.

“Sister listen to Ying’er, your father is fine, he is safe now, calm down, everything will be okay”

Lan’er was still sobbing and hugged BaiYing tightly, she didn’t care about anything else at that time, what was on her mind only how can she save her father, the contents in the letter that flew to the bottom of the table said, your father is already become a suspect in the assassination of concubine Hua, kill yourself, if you want your father to live.

BaiYing stroked Concubine Fu’s hair which was already messy due to days of not taking care of herself, he tried to hold back the tears that were pressing out because he couldn’t bear to see Concubine Fu’s miserable condition now.

“Sister, calm down, trust Ying’er, everything is fine.”

The chilly cold pavilion made everyone think of all bad things, even committing suicide without hesitation, the atmosphere was quiet and eerie as if there were cries from the sidelines. between the walls and the wooden pegs made the brain weak, BaiYing understood how concubine Fu was so easily influenced.

FuLan let go of his embrace, saw his father’s face smiling at her, a round face with red cheeks like apples who looked at her lovingly, the old man raised his hand to wipe away the tears on FuLan’s cheeks.

“Foolish child, what did you think of? Why do you have to make a suicide attempt” The two entered the room on the second floor of the inn that was specially rented by the palace?

“Father too, Lan’er let father become so foolish as to believe other people’s words and be incited to do evil deeds, it’s still good that His Highness the Crown Prince has forgiven father, what will happen to Lan’er if Father is really executed?” tears still couldn’t stop occasionally dripping from FuLan’s eyes.
