CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

161 Tracking Coin

“Young Prince Chen, where is your house? I think it’s the time you go back, isn’t it? Going too far from home will certainly make your family anxious, especially at a very young age, if it’s not too important, it would be nice for a young person at your age to be with your family until the time comes to be adults.”

The Crown Prince’s words made Chen Ming lift his head. LuoXiang’s eyes were looking at him with a smiling face, however, the atmosphere around him is black full of evil air and cold, that’s when he meets the Crown Prince’s sharp deep eyes who’s stared at him with a murderous aura.

“Eh, Your Majesty, I’m an orphan, so it doesn’t matter at all if I go back or not to that place, all of my close relatives are gone, that’s why I decided to wanderer, just, didn’t expect to get this far”

“Oh” LuoXiang rounded his mouth, he stood up from his seat, folded his arms behind his waist, looked out the open window where the view of the garden behind the dark pavilion and the sky was clearly visible.

“Hemh, still, young master Chen can’t continue to live in the palace for free, just because you think you’re a prince, as you said, that’s why I, the venerable Crown Prince accepted you, but, if this young master turns out to be an orphan, so it’s hard to say whether you are really young Prince WahYe or not? After all, that country has been extinct since seventy years ago, how is, a kid your age, who is still very young can know about it? Or, all your stories were fake? Is this a lie you invented to tease me? You are, so confident.”

ChenMing swallowed hard as the Crown Prince turned his head towards him, waiting for his answer.

“Eh that...”

“Heh, young master Chen, do you know what the punishment is for the one who has deceived the Crown Prince? Not to mention acting impudently towards the Crown Prince? I could just take your head off right now.”

Hearing the Crown Prince’s terrifying words, ChenMing clenched his two fists in front of his head and lowered his head deeply to the floor.

.....

“Forgive servant, Your Majesty, forgive me for acting impudently beyond measure, what I did was only to test your loyalty, nothing else, and, I am, the young Prince of WahYe, although small but we still have our own village where everyone is a pure descendant of WahYe, I’m not lying”

LuoXiang smirked, he still couldn’t forgive what that young man did, what an insult, test? Who do you think he is? But this time for the sake of much more valuable information LuoXiang would put aside his personal irritation, the Crown Prince sat back in his chair, grabbing his teacup to take a sip back.

“Heh, WahYe was extinct, how could the original descendants still exist? After all, what are you guys planning to do? By gathering and not assimilating with other citizens? Do, you guys might be planning a rebellion?”

ChenMing raised his head.

“That’s not true Your Majesty, my grandmother, it is impossible to plan a rebellion, I dare to guarantee with my own life”

LuoXiang smirked, the young man in front of him guaranteed his life, who did he think he was?

Hearing LuoXiang’s smirk, ChenMing slowly raised his head.

“I know, that concubine Hua, is also a descendant of WahYe.”

Almost choking on the tea that had already entered his mouth, LuoXiang was surprised by what the young man who was looking at him in front of him said, looking straight at him who didn’t take his eyes off.

“What, do you mean by you know?”

ChenMing smiled, sitting up straight.

“Heh, concubine Hua is HuaBaiYing, the sole son of Princess SanNiang with local YueYang, heh, just didn’t expect such a mixed blood, to have such an important Memory coin in his hands”

Hearing that LuoXiang couldn’t hold back anymore, he rushed forward and grabbed ChenMing’s collar.

“Watch your mouth, I won’t tolerate people who say bad things about my YingYing, let alone words from the mouth of a fake prince who doesn’t know himself, aren’t you afraid of death?”
Chen Ming smirked.

“Heh, kill me, then Your Majesty and the others will forever not know what is the secret that has been the cause of SanNiang’s killing? Are you willing, Your Majesty, to let Your Majesty’s favorite concubine be chased by someone you don’t even know yet?”

LuoXiang restrained himself from gripping harder, however, he didn’t want to hold back any longer, and, he didn’t like being threatened, the young man in front of him was getting more and more out of his position, his grip tightened so that in a second he could just break that slender neck with ease, but, ChenMing’s hand then raised to hit his chest, the profound strength suddenly released from the young man was nothing compared to LuoXiang’s, which very easily broke his attack and pushed him back to the chair so hard, making the sturdy chair instantly shatter in pieces.

“Brukkk!”

Pragg!!’

Prakkk!!

Pretty loud sound.

The young man’s body was pushed down along with the shattered chair, crashing heavily onto the floor.

“Ah!”

BeiYau and the other bodyguards who were in the room just looked at him, the Crown Prince hadn’t even expended a tenth of his energy, even though the young man in front of him had quite a strong internal power but who was he compared to the Crown Prince?

While ChenMing was still trying to get up from his fall, LuoXiang waved his wide sleeves, shake off some bits of wood splinter that had hit him, then sat back gracefully in his chair, lifted his teacup, and took a slow sip.

“That chair is YingYing’s favorite if he comes here, heh, too bad, he will definitely be angry when he visits and finds out that it’s gone, Bei, go look for the same exact chair, I don’t want YingYing to pout over a small matter”

BeiYau lowered his head.

“Yes Your Majesty”

ChenMing looked at LuoXiang with big eyes, wiped his bleeding lips from the strong pressure with the Crown Prince, even if just a moment was enough to hurt him, that man, not an ordinary person, he could easily kill him in an instant.

“Cough cough”

And, it seems that that person had deliberately provoked him so that he could release his inner strength, he had underestimated him.

“Heh, Your Majesty, have you known all along?” ChenMing asked.

LuoXiang did not have many expressions, his face was very calm, he was a Crown Prince, what could be passed from his observation?

“Hehe, you are too obvious young master Chen, from the beginning I knew that you had quite a great martial arts skill, but, it is very strange that you have been pretending and hiding it, I am also curious about that, how did you find out about YingYing’s identity very clear as well as the function of the Memory Coin before everyone even knew it, how, you know, that’s what makes you so valuable, otherwise I might have sent you to the border with the other prisoners because you were a petty thief who was caught by SanPo city officials, I can’t imagine what will happen to you, a young man with a pretty face in the midst of prisoners who are mostly rude violent people, murderers, even rapists of women, and sweet boys like you”

Chenming widened his eyes, swallowed round, he could not hide his fears.

“I’m not a thief! it’s all a trick so that I can enter the palace, does, Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t want to know, how much do I know about Concubine Hua’s identity?”

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau, in order to order the unrelated maids and bodyguards to leave the room.

Before long in the room, there were only LuoXiang, ChenMing, and BeiYau, and also ShinYa was called to join.

ChenMing looked at ShinYa for a moment, it made ShinYa stutter, moreover, the Crown Prince looked at him too, the young shaman immediately waved his hand.

“Servant has nothing to do with him Your Majesty, trust me”

LuoXiang pulled his lips at the sight of the clumsy ShinYa, then turned back to ChenMing, who immediately took out something from inside his clothes, a gold coin, similar to BaiYing’s.

“This” ShinYa asked, somewhat hesitantly took the coin in ChenMing’s hand, and handed it to the Crown Prince.

LuoXiang frowned, seeing the shape and size of the coin which was slightly larger than BaiYing’s, he glanced at the youth in front of him.

“This is a Tracking Coin, this belongs to my grandmother, with this coin, I can find HuaBaiYing’s whereabouts, the tracking coin will work when we ask it, same as BaiYing’s, this coin will also work if it stained with a drop of blood of the owner’s lineage”

Crown Prince looking at ShinYa, the young shaman seemed to know about it.

“Here, I know that there are indeed three coins for each Prince and Princess of His Majesty the Great King YenHui, just, don’t really understand what each function is, a Memory Coin, a Tracking Coin, and the other one, definitely is a Savior Coin”

ShinYa handed the coin returned to ChenMing’s hand.

“So, only you who know about YingYing’s whereabouts here? Also the Memory coin he has? Why did the coin become so important?” LuoXiang asked.

ChenMing put a coin inside his clothes.

“Servant, not really sure what the secret is in that coin, but, according to my grandmother, the secret is so important that it can be used to revive WahYe”

LuoXiang looked at ShinYa, then at BeiYau who was standing beside him, if so, maybe since at the beginning of the assassination of SanNiang, BaiYing’s mother was after the coin, which BaiYing had hidden at the time of the incident. The Crown Prince stroked his chin.

“Show me where your base is,” said LuoXiang.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

ChenMing was silent, he stuttered, looking at LuoXiang with big eyes.

“But, there’s no way Your Majesty, servant, could be put to death by my grandmother.”

LuoXiang patted the table with his hand hard.

Prakk!

Standing looking at the young man with big eyes.

“What are you guys hiding? If you weren’t the perpetrators of the murder of SanNiang and my mother, as well as the entire Hua family, shouldn’t you be hiding in the forest? Is it true that you guys were planning a rebellion?” his voice was loud, making ChenMing speechless.

“Y-Your Majesty, b-but”

LuoXiang stood up from his seat.

“BeiYau, escort young master Chen to his room, give him some time to think for the night”

BeiYau lowered his head in respect.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Then slowly moved to help ChenMing to his feet.

“Young master, please.”

ChenMing looked at LuoXiang for a moment, until he had no choice and followed BeiYau out of the room.
