CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 670 - 670 Our Next Plan

670 Our Next Plan

The innocent Bai Ying was pushed by Chen Ming who now standing between him and Yen Hui. He’s just a nuisance, thought Bai Ying. The boy was just about to protest when he found his older brother’s eyes that seemed to tell him to keep his attitude.

“Brother”

He tried to move it but Chen Ming seemed to have deliberately stood very firmly where he was now. Instead, he ignored him and talked to Yen Hui. Stupid brother, Bai Ying thought irritably.

“So, Your Highness the Prince, what are our next plans?”

Yen Hui stuttered. He himself did not know what to do. Considering that Yen Hui and Chen Ming are the same age now, at least he must have experienced many things while being a Prince until now. The young prince glanced at Bai Ying who looked still a bit irritated with his older brother interrupting their leisure time.

“Um, that” he scratched his head, thinking.

“I may have to go back to the palace to find out what the Queen Mother’s plan really is. And according to Young Master Luo, I should at least know how big the opponent’s strength is before we launch our attack. And, most importantly at this time, my father’s condition is also very worrying, most recently he could barely speak. I don’t know how He is now” said Yen Hui in an unenthusiastic tone.

Bai Ying frowned.

“Actually it’s very easy to get in there. His Highness Prince Luo Wang was an emissary from Yue Yang. With his special privileges, he could easily enter the palace without being disturbed, and also, with Prince Luo Wang’s status, even the Empress wouldn’t dare to do anything bad to him right? This could trigger a war between two countries” said Bai Ying innocently.

.....

Her words made Chen Ming turn his head, frowning at how his spoiled little brother could think like that too. That’s so true.

Even Luo Xiang and Luo Wang who had just emerged from the door stopped their steps and looked at each other, how come they never think about that before?

Late afternoon. The group finally returned to continue their journey towards the palace.

Bai Ying and Yen Hui sat in the carriage enjoying their time leisurely. The two of them have more or less the same characteristics, although Yen Hui turns out to be far more gentle than Bai Ying who goes around as he wishes. Yen Hui is the perfect prince. Mastering various musical instruments, mastering literature to politics. Knows little about medicine and even paints very well. Like what he was currently doing on the carriage with Bai Ying.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened seeing Yen Hui paint a rabbit for him, it looked so realistic.

“Waah, Your Highness, this is very good, why can’t Ying er paint like this?” he asked. Comparing his painting with Yen Hui’s.

Yen Hui chuckled. He covered his mouth to see Bai Ying’s painting which was round in shape with a few parts sticking out like ears or two small legs and hands.

“Hehe this is cute too, this is an adorable rabbit”

Bai Ying widened his eyes.

“Really? Your Highness can tell that this is a rabbit, it’s cute, isn’t it?”

Yen Hui couldn’t stop laughing, Bai Ying’s face was indeed very adorable, not to mention he accidentally left a bit of black ink left on his white smooth cheeks.

“Hehe look at this, your cheek is dirty like this,” said Yen Hui who was gently wiping away the ink stains with his sleeve.

Bai Ying smiled broadly.

“Hehehe thank you, Your Highness”

“Don’t keep calling me ‘Your Highness’, you are younger than me, why not just call me Brother Hui”

Bai Ying pursed his mouth. How could he call him a Brother? This young man was his great-grandfather. His great-grandmother’s father.

“Um, okay, Brother Yen Hui”

Yen Hui smiled sweetly, although the nature of the two was very different, they had the exact same body movements and smiles.

“Hehehe”

Soon the group stopped by the river to rest. Bai Ying and Yen Hui play near the water accompanied by Song Ma Yi and young master Wang who can protect them.

“Look Brother, the fish’s colour is so pretty,” cried Bai Ying seeing several small golden fish swimming behind a large rock. The water is very clear so they can see various types of fish including small to medium-sized water bugs.

“There is another bigger one there,” said Yen Hui

Meanwhile, Luo Xiang and Luo Wang sat on a large rock not far from their horses resting while enjoying their tea. Like his great-grandfather, Luo Xiang was also very fond of tea, both of them had the exact same movements and way of drinking.

Luo Xiang realized that. He changed the position of his hands and put the teacup into its place.

He remembered what Elder Yi and Shin Ya said just before they left the brothel.

“Golden energy? Is that a great power?” asked Luo Xiang.

Shin Ya pursed his lips.

“I am not sure, Your Majesty, but that energy is so weak, and it is close to his heart. It keeps on throbbing like waiting for the right moment to come out,” said Shin Ya.

Elder Yi stroked his chin.

“That may be one of the reasons why His Highness Prince Yen Hui’s pulse is irregular, Your Highness. He tires easily and is often short of breath as if something were pressing against his chest. This could be a disease that he has been suffering from since birth, and that golden energy seems to be trying to protect his heart and keeping him survive until now”

Luo Xiang nodded slowly. Little by little all their questions began to be answered.

“Hmm, so, that could be one of the reasons why all of that happened”

Klek.

The sound of a cup being placed on the saucer. Even on long journeys, both the Crown Prince and Luo Wang always enjoyed tea time in the best way possible.

“Is there anything you want to ask about, Young Master?” Luo Wang asked, feeling Luo Xiang’s gaze on him.

Luo Xiang looked at the river where Bai Ying and Yen Hui were playing, he saw Song Ma Yi go down to the water which made Bai Ying scream.

“Ah, young master Song what are you doing? You made the fish run away” cried Bai Ying.

Song Ma Yi scratched his head.

“Forgive me, young master, but the water is very fresh, I feel like taking a bath”

Bai Ying looked at Song Ma Yi who was clumsy to the point of scratching his head. The big man didn’t dare to make Bai Ying upset.

“Yeah, but look at the water getting cloudy like that, then the fish run away, young master Song just spoils the fun”

Yen Hui who was sitting on the rock couldn’t help but laugh. Bai Ying was indeed very cute even when he was angry.

“Hehehe”

Bai Ying widened his eyes seeing Wang Ye Hua who also took off his shoes, he was just about to put his feet into the water when Bai Ying stopped him.

“Young master Wang, stop!” he exclaimed.

Wang Ye Hua froze in place, frowning at Bai Ying’s raised hand preventing him from getting down.

“Eh, young master”

“What are you going to do? Don’t go down into the water, what if the fish die from poisoning? What if the residents drink this water and then they die of poisoning, how about that?” he exclaimed.

Wang Ye Hua pulled his leg back, undoing his intention of dipping his feet into the water. He saw Bai Ying glaring at him.

“Young master, it won’t be that bad right, I can’t possibly release my poison here”

Bai Ying approached Wang Ye Hua and pulled his hand away.

“Well whatever it is, come on, just get far from water”

Yen Hui finally couldn’t hold back and laughed. The scene before his eyes amused him.

“Hahaha”

“Young master, then what if I want to take a bath?” asked Wang Ye Hua.

“Just take a bucket of water and take a shower in the corner over there, at most it’s only dead grass, um, that’s also not okay, well, you better not have to take a shower!” Ba Ying exclaimed.

Song Ma Yi also laughed out loud, Wang Ye Hua’s scowling face was so adorable.

“Hahaha so funny, feel it, who told you to spread the poison carelessly”

Bai Ying turned his head to Song Ma Yi who was still immersing his big feet in the water.

“Young master Song, you better not trample those cute fishes to death, okay”

Song Ma Yi stopped laughing, the young man scratched his head and couldn’t help but walk over to the edge.

“Yes, young master”

Chen Ming who was sitting under the tree with Bei Yau and Xiao Hong only turned his head.

“That kid, he’s been so noisy since earlier, why does he have endless energy to spent?”

“How if we eat, I’m so hungry!” cried Bai Ying approaching his carriage. Leaving Yen Hui and the others at the river.

“Brother wait for me!” shouted Yen Hui who slowly climbed down from the rock, Song Ma Yi helped him.

“Your Majesty, be careful”
