CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

The officials had already dispersed one by one leaving the Dragon hall, it was getting late, even quite late, but that night the Emperor invited everyone including Elders Yi and ChenMing to have dinner together on a big round table at the centre of the main hall with plenty of food that had been prepared by the palace’s best cooks.

“Hehehehe it’s been a tiring day, but it feels like we haven’t dined together for a long time, Xiang’er where are your other two concubines, I haven’t seen them since?” asked the Emperor. LuoXiang turned his head to BaiYing, he didn’t pay attention but indeed the other two concubines weren’t there, BaiYing who was still wearing his veil looked at him with big eyes, Crown Prince frowned questioningly, in the end, the two just glanced at each other without talking at all, and it seemed that LuoXiang was able to understand the meaning of his gaze, LuoXiang pulled his lips.

“Heh”

The Emperor chuckled looking at the two youths in front of him, watching the behaviour of the two turned out to be very entertaining.

“Hahahaha, Ying’er why are you wearing a veil-like that, this kid, what have you been doing all day?”

BaiYing turned to the Emperor, he smiled with disappearing eyes.

“Hehehe, it’s a complicated story, Your Majesty, um, but, I’ll take it off when we eat, hehe.”

LuoXiang pinched BaiYing’s hand which was under the table.

.....

“Little coquettish child, I told you to take it off, this stubborn.” Whispered the Crown Prince, BaiYing held the Crown Prince’s hand who wanted to pinch him again.

“Your Majesty, that person hasn’t appeared yet, she could appear any time, Ying’er must cover my face or else she will run away when she sees me but, oh no, Brother Ming Ming, what about him? the kidnapper also recognized his face” BaiYing whispered, he widens his eyes at ChenMing who just raised his teacup to drink, almost spit out when he turned to BaiYing who was right beside him who already opened his eyes wide at him.

“Eulk, this kid, why are you looking at me like that? It’s surprised me.” The young prince wiped his wet lips with a handkerchief, BaiYing still looking at him intently.

“Brother, please cover your face too, the attacker will recognize you later” BaiYing whispered.

ChenMing wrinkled his eyes, he looked around the room, all the guests had dispersed, especially the art performers, all of which were not supposed to be in the Emperor’s palace, what else is the kid worried about?

“Everyone has gone home, where are the attackers? Look, there are only servants, and bodyguards.”

BaiYing looked around the room, indeed, there was already no one else there besides the palace family and bodyguards, as well as the maids, could the assailant possibly cancel their attack, but, does that mean they gave up? But it’s not that easy, is it? Even so, there was no one else in the room, who could potentially be the attackers, the guards? That’s impossible, the Emperor’s palace guards are very strict, how could they allow a foreigner to sneak between the palace guards, let alone a woman.

BaiYing raised his teacup, seeing several young and beautiful maids enter the room giving tea to everyone, beautiful young ladies, wait, beautiful young ladies?

What, that assailant was among the servants? Oh, this can’t be happening, BaiYing immediately lowered his teacup holding the Crown Prince’s hand under the table, warning him of the danger through his eyes.

“What’s wrong, Ying?” Luo Xiang asked.

BaiYing looked at the incoming maids.

“Your Majesty, the maids, the assailant might be among them.”

LuoXiang looked at the maids who started serving drinks after finishing their meal, many young girls dressed as palace maids who usually always served their families and palace guests spread out to serve.

BaiYing’s eyes widened when he saw that the Emperor’s and Queen’s drinking cups were served, while the Emperor was still busy talking around with the other concubines, the Empress had started to raise her tea get ready to drink it, and the maid who filled her cup just now, a beautiful girl with a pair of grey eyes, there she is, BaiYing thought, he sure had never seen that maid before.

“No, Her Majesty the Queen!” Without thinking BaiYing rushed to his feet, shouting as he stretched out his hand to the Queen who was about to take a sip of her tea.

Everyone was shocked, even the Queen almost dropped her tea which was slightly shaken until the contents wet the table.

“Ouch dear, this kid, what do you mean by shouting like that?” Exclaimed the Queen who’s ready to be angry, but BaiYing’s eyes looked at besides her, the girl who was still standing where she was while the other maids had lowered her body at the sound of the Queen’s screams just now, like what maids usually do, but, not to a tall, slender girl with fair skin. slightly pale white with a pair of light-coloured eyes, which we’re now looking at Bai Ying intently.

Simultaneously all the guards approached on alert as the Crown Prince’s hand was raised, all surrounding the young woman, the Emperor’s personal guards immediately rushed to protect the Emperor and the Queen who immediately stood aside.

The tall girl raised her head, a slight smirk from her charming red lips, her face was really attractive, anyone would be able to see how the girl outperformed the other maids, she just raised her hand to adjust her hair that fell quietly even though many weapons were aiming at her.

“Hah, how about this, although I’ve been struggling to do all the drama since this morning, this, will be very troublesome,” said the girl quietly.

Crown Prince stood in front of BaiYing, pulling the youth behind him, ChenMing and Elder Yi on standby while the family members and other guests retreated. The Second Prince came forward, he saw the girl from underfoot to the top of her head.

“Heh, what a beautiful girl, what, you believe she is dangerous? Well even though it can’t be denied, the more beautiful women are the more dangerous they are, what’s your name, sweetie?”

The girl moved a little, spontaneously several guards who were on standby took a step back to see the girl open her hands, and only saw her smooth palms with curved fingers.

“Heh, it can’t be helped, Majesty Queen YinHua, you, may have forgotten who the servant is, of course, what do you remember in that stupid head of yours”

“Presumptuous!” cried the Emperor, he looked at the girl with big eyes.

“Who’s she? Why is this girl able to sneak among the palace maids who were chosen through a very strict selection!” the Emperor shouted back.

“Why can not? This palace is so generous in letting other people like artisan workers enter the capital even the palace, why can’t I enter? I’m just a weak and helpless girl, Your Majesty.” The spoiled voice of the girl, the Queen widened her eyes, looking at the special guards of the Imperial Palace.

“What are you waiting for! Quickly catch this presumptuous girl!” cried the Queen, the special palace guards replied in unison,

“Ready!”

However, before approaching the girl, several large men with golden armour staggered, their bodies seemed to no longer follow orders and limp, falling down on their knees.

“Prang!” the sound of the heavy weapons on the floor, along with their limp bodies on the floor, just like leaves falling from tree trunks that just fell on the ground.

Everyone was shocked to see what was happening in front of their eyes, except for the girl who was laughing out loud.

“Hahahaha, this is so much fun, hah, this, too easy even, how can I enjoy this game any longer if everyone falls too fast like this, this isn’t much fun, heh”

“What do you want? Why hurt so many people to launch your business? Who are you guys?” BaiYing exclaimed, he would have stepped forward to check on the fallen bodyguards if it weren’t for the Crown Prince holding him behind.

“YingYing calms down,” said the Crown Prince in a soft voice.

BaiYing restrained himself, even though the guards were still breathing with their eyes still wide open, only their bodies were paralyzed and couldn’t move, before long several maids who were kneeling behind them also fell limp one by one, all fell limply and didn’t move, BaiYing holding LuoXiang’s arm, they couldn’t just stand still without doing anything.

“Hahahaha, everyone in this room has been exposed to my poison, sooner or later all of you will be like them, so this is really boring, tell how can a palace as strict as this allow a weak girl like a servant to just enter? Very easily, this isn’t that difficult actually.”

“Your Majesty” BaiYing tried to sulk, asking the Crown Prince to let him pass, but the Crown Prince keep holding his hand behind his back.

“Then what do you want? Finishing off everyone in the palace just like that? Then after that, do you think you can still escape from all this? Those people are indeed great, to think of sacrificing a young girl for their plans, even killing many of their own people just for the sake of launching all your efforts, this, is too much isn’t it?” said the Crown Prince.

“This is not an exaggeration, all for Wahye’s awakening, and the destruction of the very dilapidated YueYang, this is all worth doing?”

Hearing the girl’s words, the Emperor and Empress turned to BaiYing, BaiYing widened his eyes, the idea of ??awakening WahYe by attacking another country was not what he thought, it didn’t even cross his mind at all, and he didn’t know who the girl was, how could they think about that?

“That Eh”
