CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 325

325 The Hurt

The girl widen her eyes, as she saw the powder she spread just swirling around her, in a sphere with BaiYing.

“Not! What happened, this is impossible, Your Majesty!”

BaiYing smiled, even though, no matter what happened he couldn’t let the poison spread throughout the room and cause everyone to die from it, however, he could feel the effects of the poison so fast, his chest tightened, the air, become so heavy to breathe on.

“Ekh”

The protective sphere he created thinned and could have disappeared along with the effects of the poison that made his body weak, but he couldn’t let this girl kill again, let alone everyone in the room, not everyone was guilty, even the Queen wasn’t actually a bad person. He have to endure much longer at least until he inhaled all the poison into his own body.

“Oh no Ying’er” the Queen who was standing behind the protection of some of her personal maids look anxious.

LuoXiang approached, he dashed towards the sphere trying to break through it.

“YingYing!” but he can’t, the energy that flows on the surface not even can be passed by him, not to mention come near him.

An anxious ChenMing also approached.

.....

“Stupid kid! What are you doing in there! Why did you stand inside the circle, you stupid boy! Get out of there quickly!”

BaiYing might have had profound strength and fast healing power, but that didn’t mean he didn’t feel the effects of such a powerful poison, however, he felt unbearable pain as soon as the poison entered his body.

“Akh”

Even so, he couldn’t let the poison out from within the sphere, he would inhale it all for himself, it’s better for him to feel it all for a moment than anyone else, however, the Crown Prince’s face was very worried.

“Ying, get out of there, please, YingYing.”

BaiYing smiled, even though the veins on his face showed how much pain he had endured, but he still tried to smile.

“Hehe Y-Your Majesty, thank goodness, servant’s movements, are quite fast, right? Forgive me to hurt Your Majesty”

Elder Yi got up, sat cross-legged recovering his internal energy after hitting the protective sphere, he didn’t expect BaiYing’s protective energy to be so strong that even his attacks couldn’t penetrate it, fortunately, he didn’t exert much internal energy when attacking, if no he would probably be hurt more badly than this.

“Rotten child”

The girl’s body went limp, she didn’t drink the antidote to her own poison and probably planned to die in this attack, from her ears were already bleeding a little, she whimpered in pain as all her veins seemed to be about to burst from her homemade poison.

“Stupid girl, why are you doing this? Life is so beautiful, you shouldn’t do this bad thing, let alone even think about killing yourself, you will make your parents very sad” said BaiYing who opened his palm letting his green energy envelop the girl’s small body.

The girl shook her head, trying to hold back BaiYing’s hand.

“Y-Your Majesty, don’t, don’t do this, I beg you, huks, let me avenge my family, all, are your citizens, the oppressed citizens of WahYe, huks, Your Majesty, all those people, all that blood that was spilt, is WahYe citizens, at least, let me pay for all the blood that was spilt in vain.”

BaiYing grabbed the girl’s hand, a pair of small hands that were much smaller than he’s, but those tiny hands were trying to grasp what was beyond their reach.

“I am, the Viceroy of WahYe, this country’s matter, is mine too, don’t worry, Ying’er will try to put everything back in its place slowly”

LuoXiang looked at ShinYa, he couldn’t approach BaiYing who slowly had fallen on the floor, even though he continued to expend his energy until all the powder in the air disappeared.

“Master Shin do something!”

ShinYa also thought of creating a protective circle within BaiYing’s protective sphere, but that was impossible for him, no matter what his strength was very different from BaiYing’s, only he could do all of that.

“Xiao Ying! Stupid kid get out of there! What are you doing, XiaoYing!” ChenMing’s loud voice only replayed outside BaiYing’s ears, he still managed to smile seeing the worried faces of his Big Brother, as well as the helpless Crown Prince.

“YingYing”

Until, everything disappeared so quickly, there was silence and there was not a single sound left in fact everything turned dark as if he was sinking into deep water, where his body fell continuously into the bottomless water.

Byusshhh!

“YingYing! Ying Ying!” a loud scream, a voice that BaiYing knew all too well, the voice of the Crown Prince who went into the water with him, reaching out to him, trying to reach his hand.

“YingYing!” and he could hear it very loudly.

“Your Honour”

........

“No!” screams, loud sounds of falling objects, some people running and screaming for their lives when their huts caught fire, some men in troop armour with the YueYang’s flag, pushed, kicked, and unhesitatingly drew their spears stabbed into the backs of the villagers who tried to fight, while the women were caught by the soldiers.

“Hurry up!”

Leaving little children crying helplessly sitting on the ground, even a little girl, still young, maybe around eight years old, crying while trying to pull the long spear that pierced the back of the man who fell on the ground, motionless, on her back, with a shabby cloth carrying a small baby who kept crying non-stop.

“Father, huks, father please wake up, father”

The same voice was heard in almost all places in the village, small villages with houses that had been devoured by the red rooster and victims with lifeless bodies lying on the road even outside their house.

“Please, don’t hurt us!”

“They, came and attacked our village, captured the woman, and killed anyone who tried to resist, after that incident, we didn’t even see where our Mother was anymore, they, may have died in the same way as our father, but, even so, they don’t let us cremate her body, huks.”

A young woman, thin and weak, sat on her bed in her old hut in the outskirts of SanPo, a small village near the city borders. The woman’s face was naturally quite beautiful, even very beautiful if it weren’t for the wound that ran from the top of her eye to her cheek, which blinded one eye, a scar deep enough to seem to pierce her cheekbone.

BeiYau who saw her looked pitiful at her, the girl claimed to be called XiLuo, not very old, she said she is twenty-eight years old, and, the assailant in the palace who spread MeiHua’s poison, was XiMei, her biological sister.

The girl lowered her head crying, sometimes covering her mouth and coughing until a little blood came out of her cough.

BeiYau and XuYi arrived at the palace late at night, when all the events in the palace were over, and the girl who had caused all the chaos was already lying lifeless after biting her own tongue. BeiYau was late, he found out that the girl came in with the palace maid plaque obtained from the attack on the Logistic official Kui’s house, though, that wasn’t the real reason for the attack that led to the murder of the senior logistics official’s entire family.

JuYu and the girl are not close acquaintances, they only met a few years ago when XiMei was looking for a job in the city as a maid, somehow the full story the two were able to ally, and XiMei who had been taking care of her strangely sick sister since childhood had learned to make her own medicine, due to limited medical expenses, she finally got the poison prescription from the original owner of the MeiHua flower poison before the old woman died of old age.

Klekk.

The sound of the teacup being placed on the saucer on the small table next to the Crown Prince’s seat, he was sitting in the central room of the Golden Dragon hall with the Emperor with him, it seemed that they were discussing serious and quite important matters.

The emperor stroked his chin.

“Heh indirectly it’s all my fault too, can’t see what’s going on behind me, at that time, the Queen was still very young, she sometimes thought irrationally and was overly jealous, it wasn’t very strange if she did that, but, this, it’s really not I thought before,” said the Emperor.

“Didn’t Father ask what else the Queen Mother was doing behind your back? Which might in the future lead to chaos and other rebellions” asked LuoXiang.

“That’s Xiang’er, Father has asked, but the Queen is still in shock and can’t talk much, the Queen did not even visit the pavilion last night, so how can Father ask further questions?

LuoXiang looks far in front of him, thinking how could a little beautiful girl with a bright future as last night attacker willing to sacrifice her life to live in the grudge for her whole life, it because of the pain in her heart, so hurt that it could crush her heart anytime.
