CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Whoa, where? There is no one here” asked concubine Ye looking around the room, Yan and Bi looked at each other, this is impossible, concubine Hua entered the room and hasn’t come out yet, where can he go?

Yan and Bi looked around with worried faces.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty Concubine Hua!” cried Yan and Bi, the room was not very big, and not much room to hide. The bedroom window open with a direct view of the back garden, which also no one was there, concubine Ye approached and found something by the window.

“Emm what is this?” something resembling a piece of brown shirt with gold embroidery that might be stuck nearby window, she showed it to Yan and Bi.

The two maids glanced at each other, it wasn’t Concubine Hua’s clothes, Concubine Hua was wearing his favorite red and white clothes.

“This is not concubine Hua’s clothes” the maids couldn’t hide their fear, both of their faces were pale at the thought of Hua concubine disappearing right before their eyes.

Yan and Bi held each other’s hand, what should they do now?

“Oh no, Your Majesty.”

.....

While concubine Ye and the others were still in the room, suddenly a maid came running from outside the room.

“Your Majesty! The guards saw someone in dark clothes running from inside the villa, is Your Majesty all right?” asked the little maid, before a few guards ran in.

“Your Majesty”

Concubine Ye widened her eyes, still holding the piece of cloth in her hand.

“It’s bad, concubine Hua, she might have been kidnapped”

Concubine Ye’s words made Yan and Bi even more anxious.

“Your Majesty”

.......

“Ouch” his head hurt so bad like he had been hit with a hard object, BaiYing tried to open his eyes and look around him, what happened? Why are his two hands tightly bound, and also his two legs, and his mouth! Was he kidnapped again? Oh, why is he so unlucky? Was it not enough to just be useless and now he also had to be a burden to others, where was he at now?

The room resembled a warehouse for unused items, the smell of damp and musty combined, the wooden floors were dirty and crumbly in some parts, even making a squeaky sound when he moved, his eyes widened at the sight of several black furry little friends who’s pacing in front of him, one of them seemed to lift his head to look at him for a while and he approached him! Rat! It’s unbelievable, what does the mouse want? Why does it now see him with its pair of black round eyes, does he think he is his food? BaiYing kicked his legs trying to drive the rat away from him, but instead of moving away, a few more came, don’t come any closer, he shouted in his heart, just go and continue what you want to do in the first place.

“Ump!” BaiYing shouted, at least that’s what he was trying to do even though no sound came out, where was he? Is it still inside the palace or outside? Who brought him there? Did the black-clothed group come back? He had to run away, even though he wasn’t killed by those people, he could have died of a disease caused by a rat bite, at this time there is no vaccine for the rat pest virus, this is very annoying.

“Umpp!!”

...

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince’s palace looks busy, LuoXiang clenched his hand where he holds tight a piece of cloth as evidence, a piece of cloth belonging to a palace official, same embroidered motif as on the official’s clothes, and his anger had reached its peak until he could slash anyone’s head at this time.

BeiYau gathered the top officials, those clothes belonged to rank six top officials and below, so one of the official’s clothes must have been torn at the bottom. BaiYing has been missing since morning, don’t know what happened to him now and the only thing The Crown Prince has as evidence is just a piece of cloth in his hand, this time maybe the kidnapper is not from the black-clothed group, just hope so, LuoXiang wishes in his heart, BaiYing can instantly disappear if he’s being captive by them.

“Hey Ying Ying”

.....

The sunlight from between the walls seems to be getting higher and higher until it slowly disappears, this means the sun rises, rises to the top until it disappears at sunset.

Don’t know how long BaiYing has been lying in the same position in that dirty room, no one has approached him all day, maybe it’s not even a day yet, but it feels like so long, what does that person want? Why leave him alone there? He wasn’t even given water, he could die silly if this continued, he was starving, he was so thirsty and tired even he could hear his own breathing sounds, cold and could not stop shaking, and perhaps because he was so weak that the fear of the rats roaming around him became nothing.

“Hoh Your Majesty”

That situation certainly made all the bad thoughts in BaiYing’s head arise, one of the signs of dehydration appeared, he started hallucinating, he couldn’t let it happen, he had to stay focused, wherever he was now he had to try hard and find a way to escape.

BaiYing tried to pull his leg slowly, with all the strength he had left, he got up and tried to sit up when he managed to lean back, there was the sound of a door being opened from outside.

Crack crack

But BaiYing couldn’t stand it, he’s too weak and fell back down to the floor, with his blurry eyes he could see two pairs of feet stepping into the stuffy room, one in a long and majestic reddish dress, beautiful shoes that usually to wear by concubines, concubines? BaiYing widened his eyes, it’s her? why concubine Ye was now there standing there with a face as if laughing at him, and behind her, BeiYau? What are they doing?

“S-Sister Mu’er”

Mu’er lowered her body, couldn’t stop smiling so broadly and satisfied, she tugged BaiYing’s front garment to reveal all parts of his chest, his flat chest! BaiYing’s eyes widened, did concubine Ye already know the truth about him?

“Sis?”

“Hehe, how long do you think you can trick the Queen? Little sister Yen, oh I forgot, HuaBaiYing, you are so great, you can even trick the Emperor and the Second Prince, and luckily, the Crown Prince realized his stupidity very quickly”

BaiYing stuttered, his heart seemed to stop, had he been caught? The Queen and Emperor, as well as the Second Prince already know about his true identity? But how can that happen? And BeiYau, what was the Crown Prince’s personal bodyguard doing there?

“B-Brother Bei, where is Your Majesty?”

BeiYau retracted his lips, his eyes fixed on BaiYing as if he was blaming him too.

“Sorry Young Master, but this command His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen asks Highness the Crown Prince to choose between you or his position as Crown Prince, and, certainly Highness Crown Prince know which is more important”

Baiying’s chest is hurt, was he just dreaming? Yes, this must be just a dream, but, why does it feel so real? Mu’er patted his cheek.

“Hey, so funny, who do you think you are? Still dare to mention His Highness the Crown Prince, and want to compete with me, YeMu, daughter of an honorable Mayor, even if you are not a boy, you come from a bankrupt family, I don’t know what’s Her Majesty the Queen think about when she chooses your sister, but I guess she must be regretting it now, emh heh, well, I can’t stay here long, His Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for me in the pavilion for our Hot Pot dinner, Bei, you take care of him” tears rolled down BaiYing’s cheeks, his heart shattered into pieces.
