CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 43: General Po.

“Ems”

BaiYing raised his head and saw a pair of beautiful hazel eyes who now looked at him deeply, eyes of the Crown Prince who were now crouched in front of his face, smiled and now stopped his palms from caressing his cheeks.

“Hey, big boy do not cry too much, and just look at your eyes, those big pretty round eyes, red and swollen, it would take long time to cure the swelling eyes like this, you look like a frog now”

Even at that time the Crown Prince still annoyed him, so BaiYing stopped his tears.

BaiYing raised his hand and wiped the tears that didn’t fall on the corners of his eyes.

“Ems, Your Majesty ”

LuoXiang tried to comfort BaiYing, he grabbed the young man’s hand and wrapped it around his.

.....

“Well, YingYing is my concubine, I don’t know how to let you go now and live alone outside, if your legs are hurt who’s going to massage it for you? Or who’s going to rub your back when you take a bath?”

BaiYing still tried to let the Crown Prince’s handoff from him but that big man didn’t even flinch.

“Your Majesty”

The flirtatious Crown Prince looked at him with his playful eyes, who could stand those eyes? BaiYing smiles just by looking at the funny stares at him.

“Emm, but BaiYing will lose the head if I go back to the palace, but, at that time, I won’t regret it, heh, It’s funny, Your Majesty even can’t threat me again using my family since they all gone now”

LuoXiang stopped his smiles, saw that unexcited face on the young man’s face, he eventually raised his hand holding BaiYing small cheeks.

“YingYing, I’ll always protect you, sorry for being careless before”

BaiYing was stunned to look at the Crown Prince’s face which was too close to him, even almost kissing him, if not because of someone suddenly appearing.

“Report Majesty! The entourage of General PoYang has arrived at the town!” cried BeiYau.

It’s almost there! LuoXiang bites his lips, that annoying bodyguard of his, really comes at a very definite time and ruins his intentions, damn.

“Erm, we are moving in a while.”

His flat and cold words as BeiYau can hear His Highness mad at him by the sharp glanced in his eyes, this is bad, he really comes in very bad timing.

BeiYau nodded his head.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” BeiYau withdrew and moved away from the Crown Prince.

BaiYing turned to LuoXiang.

“Your Majesty, do I really need to go back to the Palace?”

The Crown Prince nodded.

“Yeah, of course, where else?”

The Crown Prince grabbed BaiYing small hand towards their horse, BaiYing had no choice but to follow him, where could he go anyway? While the Crown Prince held his hand so tight as if he won’t ever let him go.

“E bu-but-but”

LuoXiang stopped in his tracks as one of his men led his large horse closer.

“No But, at this time YingYing is already tired, while the distance to the palace from here is still far away, we will stay overnight at the inn at the center of the city and will continue our way back to the palace by tomorrow morning, also, we’ll meet General PoYang entourage there, YingYing just have to go back with me”

BaiYing frowned, he’s quite familiar with that name, but maybe it’s just a coincidence.

BaiYing was a little surprised when LuoXiang totes his body up.

“E Y-Your Majesty”

BaiYing still stuttered but LuoXiang acted fast and carried him to sit at his big horse saddle.

“Hold on tight, YingYing, you may fall”

“Y-Your Majesty, I can ride another horse,” BaiYing exclaimed.

But even with BaiYing’s loud voice, LuoXiang pretended he didn’t hear up and just hopped up to his horse, seated behind BaiYing so close.

“Your Majesty!”

The group moved away from the burial area, BaiYing’s loud voice could still be heard until BeiYau, who was already sitting on his horse, ordered his men to move.

“Let’s go”

.........

The Rose Inn, at the center of LuAn city, one city right outside capital city SanPo, where’s the Lotus valley, a place where BaiYing has been captive for the past few days located, it’s also not so far away from outskirt the city of ChangSan where the Hua Family burial located.

The entourage stopped and decided to take the rest for a night, while the other BeiYau men were already moving fast to the palace with the prisoner without stopping, they might have already arrived at the palace by now.

In the large living room of the inn which was rented entirely by BeiYau’s party, and a troupe with steel armor that had gathered in the living room, General PoYang’s chosen guards, the old General who were now standing clench his fists to salute LuoXiang who was standing in front of him.

“Congratulations Your Majesty on finding Concubine Hua, eh ..”

General PoYang glances at BaiYing who was sitting alone not far from them at the dining table enjoying his meals, he’s too hungry to wait for Crown Prince to finish the meeting and he will eat first,

LuoXiang know what the meaning of that old General gaze at BaiYing, he then turned his head to BeiYau and command them all to leave the room, Beiyau nodded, it didn’t take long for the living room to be empty left the four of them there, only the Crown Prince, General PoYang, BaiYing and BeiYau whom his trusted the most.

General Po asked the Crown Prince’s permission before approaching BaiYing who was sitting without noticing anything until the general stopped in front of him.

“Greetings, Honorable Concubine Hua”

The old but still very much handsome General Po lowered his head in front of BaiYing, just the right time when the young man mouth puffy up for too much stuffing the food in it, he stared at General Po for a while, really can’t move even a bit because the awkwardness he had now, what he supposed to do when someone greeting him like this?

“Eh that’s e..” while everybody in the room must have already learned about who he really was, not HuaBaiYen the real concubine, he was just a fake.

LuoXiang smiled and nodded his head at BaiYing who turned at him.

“Eh p-please raise your body general”

The old General raised his head up and smiled while looking at him, for a while confused BaiYing saw him with his teary eyes, he was stunned, somehow the figure in front of him was quite familiar, the food in his hand dropped back to the plate.

“Uh, grandpa Po?” His lips stuttered, afraid that he might have recognized him wrong, but no, the old man smiled at him, he nodded while wiping his tears that had almost fallen.

“Em G-Grandfather?”

The old General nodded.

“Yes, this is grandfather Po.”

BaiYing’s hands are shaking, he couldn’t help himself as the tears flow fast from his eyes, the old man in front of him, none other than his adoptive grandfather, PoYang, his father’s senior when he was in the academy and always visited their house when he’s younger, he almost forgot about him because the man is getting really old now if it’s not because of that smile on his face, big funny smiles in his round cheek.

“Grandpa”

BaiYing got up fast from his chair and hugged General PoYang tightly.

“Grandfather, grandfather Po”

General PoYang stroked BaiYing’s back, he laughed while holding back his tears.

“Hehehe cute little boy, you still remember your grandfather, sweet Xiao Ying”

“Grandpa, Ying’er hasn’t seen grandfather, ems, grandfather”

So, however, General PoYang also knows the truth about concubine Hua, he is a sweet child. The kind and gentle HuaBaiYing whom he loved very much, the boy who always smiled and laughed cheerfully even though his body condition did not allow him to do anything even to become a fighter, don’t know what happened now, but General PoYang was a little relieved because the child did not become the victim of his family massacre.

“He’s a sweet little boy”
