CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

668 The Queen’s Plan

“Where is the kid now?” Shin Ya asked.

Everyone listened carefully to Yen Hui’s story about how he got out of the palace which was heavily guarded by soldiers who were already under Queen Yu Yan’s control.

Yen Hui and Luo Wang decided they were trustworthy people after Luo Xiang showed the Yue Yang palace command plaque that he had. It was lucky that Bei Yau always had it with him. The plaque of the order belonged to the imperial investigative division that the Emperor would normally send around the country to deal with matters that occurred in the country. Luo Xiang remembered what he read in the palace library, that these years, the ruler Emperor had just inaugurated a division that no one even Prince Luo Wang knew who the people working in that division were.

Yen Hui tried to think.

“Um, it looks like he’s still in the palace.”

Elder Yi stroked his chin. Glancing at Shin Ya, why is he interested in the child who helped Prince Yen Hui get out of the palace?

“Master Shin, do you know who that kid is?” he asked.

Shin Ya looked at Elder Yi, then looked at Luo Xiang and Bai Ying who was also waiting for his answer.

“If I’m not mistaken, he might be Shin Mu Lei.”

.....

Luo Xiang’s reaction was normal, although he was somewhat surprised, it was not Bai Ying who didn’t understand at all. He turned to Luo Xiang as if he was the only one who didn’t understand who Shin Ya was referring to.

“Erm, Your Highness, um, who is Shin Mu Lei? Does he have anything to do with master Shin?” he asked.

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Of course Ying Ying, he is Lord Shin Ya’s grandfather, general Shin Lei”

Bai Ying rounded his mouth.

“Oh, Mister Shin’s grandfather.” he nodded.

After that, he was even more surprised.

“Oh, so, he’s still in the palace? How could he be in there?” he asked.

“Because since childhood, grandfather was one of the disciples of the court shaman who had worked for several generations, from the shaman tribe who used to be in the same circle as the female priest tribe. Heh, now I understand why the palace always catches underage boys to be brought to the palace” said Shin Ya.

Chen Ming widened his eyes.

“You mean as what the black snake did?” Chen Ming asked.

Shinya nodded.
“Right Prince, all of these are related to each other”

Elder Yi gently stroked his chin again.

“Hmm, this is getting interesting”

Night comes. Having yet to figure out their next plan, Luo Xiang and the others remained in the brothel that had reopened to the public. Madam Boss is now slowly turning the brothel house into an ordinary inn still with dance and music performances as proposed by Bai Ying. In this era of lodging with music and dance is not very popular, maybe it’s time to start that business.

Mrs Mo of course didn’t mind, after all, she would have closed her brothel business long ago, just couldn’t bear to throw the girls and servants back out on the street without a job.

“Please come in, gentlemen, the musical performance will begin soon,” said the lady, who was also welcoming her guests that night.

A large man, one of the brothel’s main customers stopped by to see the brothel’s changing decor after a few days of not being open to the public.

“Madam Boss, will Bo Bo accompany me tonight? Tonight I will satisfy myself here until morning” said the man.

Mrs Mo smiled.

“Hehe Mr Pang, of course, Bo Bo will accompany you, but unfortunately she is very busy playing music tonight. We are currently playing music for the inauguration ceremony of the inn. You know how difficult it is to get a brothel permit. So I turned this place into an inn”

Mr Pang, the man looked around him. Then whispered to the stocky woman.

“Oh, I know your reasons, Mrs Mo, as long as Bo Bo and the others accompany me I won’t care about it” he whispered.

Mrs Mo chuckled as she covered her mouth. The woman who has been in business since she was a girl certainly knows how to deal with a man with a nose and lots of money like Mr Pang, he is a customer too dear to pass up.

“Hehehe, of course, Mister Pang, for you all the girls here will always be available, please come in first sir, do you want to sit here or upstairs? For the room above, there is only a balcony available, and besides it is far from the centre of activity, I suggest the position at the very front there, there are still two empty tables, sir,” said Mrs Mo pointing towards the front near the stage where the music performance will be held.

Mr Pang stroked his chin. Seeing the excitement of the other guests who had started to gather to see the dancers and musicians who were about to start the show, this was the first time they saw the girls on stage. Without thinking he walked towards the direction that madam Mo suggested.

“Oh that looks so exciting”

Mrs Mo glanced at the young maid who was standing nearby to usher the guests to their seats.

“Please, Mister”

Meanwhile in Bai Ying’s room.

“Your Highness, shall we accompany grandpa, uh, I mean, Prince Yen Hui to his palace? Isn’t the Queen so horrible? What if Prince Yen Hui becomes the next victim?” asked Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang who was sitting enjoying his tea saw Bai Ying who was busy packing his clothes into a cloth bag for him to carry on their way. Luo Xiang is also a bit hesitant to do it, but this time they don’t have much choice.

According to White Tiger, if they wanted to get out of this world they should at least finish the business that made them come here in the first place. Seeing all this, Luo Xiang was even more convinced that they really should be here, indirectly helping Yen Hui take over the palace that was now in the clutches of the Female Priestess clan. The clan was notoriously vicious. They do not hesitate to kill their enemies who are not in line with them and justify any means to be able to get their wish to rule the world. This was why the previous King Yen Hui disbanded the clan and even punished the elders, all of that had to be done.

Luo Xiang raised his head when he saw Bai Ying already sitting in front of him, the boy looked at Luo Xiang with a pair of big round eyes as if waiting for his answer.

“Your Highness, what is Your Highness thinking?” he asked.

Luo Xiang smiled, he pinched Bai Ying’s nose excitedly.

“This brat, do you have to come to think of everything? We’ll see what happens, after all the current situation doesn’t allow us to openly attack, we don’t know what the Queen is actually planning, as well as how many subordinates and mythical creatures as Yen Hui said she has. However, we can’t be careless.”

Bai Ying frowned. He nodded.

“That’s true. Erm, Your Highness, has Your Highness spoken to your Grandfather? He very looks alike to Your Highness, only, My Highness the Crown Prince is a bit more handsome”



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

Luo Xiang who had his serious face before almost choked on Bai Ying’s compliment, it was like a compliment. The boy looked at him with two eyes that disappeared behind his wide smile.

“Hehehe”

This time the Crown Prince pinched Bai Ying’s extremely cute rosy cheeks.

“This kid, are you learning to seduce people now? Since when can my Ying Ying be sweet-talking like this?”

Bai Ying smiled broadly, he wrapped his arm around the Crown Prince and hugged him tightly.

“Hehehehe of course I learn from Your Highness. Em, Your Highness, then, according to Your Highness, do I really look like Prince Yen Hui?”

Luo Xiang frowned, he thought for a long time.

“Em” then looked at Bai Ying who actually put on a curious face with his question.

Luo Xiang studied Bai Ying’s face.

“Let me see, the eyes are similar, the nose is also similar, em, then the lips..” Luo Xiang move his head forward and kissed Bai Ying on the lips when he didn’t expect it.

“Your Highness, I really asking” cried Bai Ying who was a bit surprised by the short kiss Luo Xiang smiled very satisfied with what he just did.

Luo Xiang chuckled. Seeing Bai Ying’s scowling face made him even cuter.

“Yeah, that’s why I have to make sure.”

“How to make sure, does Your Majesty want to kiss him on the lips too?” asked Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang chuckled at Bai Ying’s annoyed tone. He was so happy to see his angry but still adorable face.

“Hehehehe precisely because I never”

Bai Ying hit on Luo Xiang’s arm.

“Just watch out if Your Highness gets to do it.”

“Hahaha, my Ying Ying is jealous, why do you have a very cute face like this even when you’re upset?”

“Your Majesty!”

Luo Xiang laughed. He couldn’t stop. Even though there was something in his head that made his heart a little uneasy. What did Luo Wang say when he accompanied him for tea time this afternoon.
