CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

690 Disgust

Luo Xiang took a deep breath, looking at the old man sharply.

“Isn’t this because of the binding poison you gave him? Makes Ying er faint and always weak?”

Hearing that, Bai Ying’s eyebrows twitched, he couldn’t believe what he heard, did he had been poisoned all this time? How could he not aware of that?

Du Gu San lowered his head back down.

“Beg your pardon, Your Highness, the binding poison only makes His Highness the Young Prince weak and unable to walk far, as per Your Highness’ request to make His Highness the Prince could not escape from the palace. Poison is binding in nature, as long as he takes the medicine regularly then his body’s condition will get better, and he will be fine, Your Highness”

Luo Xiang looked at Du Gu San for a long time as if asking him to stop talking. He flicked his sleeves and tucked them behind his waist.

“Watch your mouth old man, don’t let Ying er hear this from anyone. I will bring him back to Yue Yang tomorrow. Keep him away from all the insignificant matters in this palace, I can no longer bear to see the cruelty of the High King, he can do anything even make his own grandson be paralyzed like that.”

Bai Ying’s eyes moved, clenched his fists, who does His Highness the Crown Prince mean, is it his brother Chen Ming? What has been done to him?

Du Gu San raised his head, daring to look at the Crown Prince’s face.

.....

“Um, then, Your Majesty, may I visit the palace when my grandchild is born? At that time, Mu er will really need me and her mother’s visit”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips. Turning his body against Du Gu San approached Bai Ying’s bed. He sat down slowly on the edge of the bed and caressed Bai Ying’s hair on his forehead.

“Of course old man, although I don’t like your presence, Concubine Ye will be very happy if you come. Heh.” He took a deep breath. Looking at Bai Ying’s face for a long time.

“Heh, Ying er, you can’t leave me, will always be with me, no matter what happens, no matter how it is, we will always be together, don’t even think about leaving me” Luo Xiang whispered, lifted Bai Ying’s hand, and kissed his finger.

“Chup”
“My love” and lowered his body to kiss Bai Ying’s lips.

Bai Ying clenched his fists, even though he really loved the Crown Prince, but now he was very disgusted at the thought of that person kissing him.

Bai Ying arrived in front of the Deer villa, where Prince Chen Ming lived. The guards doesn’t look as strict as in his villa. Only two at the front gate who looks to be busy talking to each other so they didn’t pay attention to their surroundings. A few maids passed by, and just then Bai Ying sneaked in as everyone was busy going about their own business.

Bai Ying successfully entered the grounds of the main villa’s house. Seeing servants around the yard and garden, he immediately lowered his body to hide behind a pillar. With his black clothes, he can blend into the darkness easily. Slowly when there were no more people around, he pushed open the unlocked door of the house. He looked around the room to see if there were other maids and guards there, but there weren’t any, the villa was very quiet, so different from the other villas, especially he’s.

Bai Ying sneaked in. Rushed through the living room into his brother’s room which was at the end of the hall, wishing he was there.

“Brother” un-patiently to called him as he entered the room.

Bai Ying saw the figure of a person who looks like his older brother, sitting on a chair facing the open window, it was already midnight, why was the window still open? Isn’t there a maid to close it? It was definitely his older brother, from whichever direction he could recognize him, Bai Ying couldn’t wait to get closer.

“Brother!”




Bai Ying rushed over without hesitation, impatient to hug his older brother who for some reason just sat there silently, however, he is stopped. His brother’s face, Chen Ming’s face at that time, was pale with blank eyes looking out the window, just sitting still, as if not aware of what was happening around him.

“Brother” he held his brother’s hand. Chen Ming didn’t turn around, he just kept silent, no matter how many times Bai Ying shook his hand.

“Big brother, big brother, it’s Ying er, what happened to you? Older brother”

Bai Ying was worried, Chen Ming’s face with his eyes staring blankly as if he wasn’t there, what happened to him?

“Your Highness the Prince has been poisoned by the Living Puppet, Your Highness the Young Prince” another voice startled Bai Ying. He turned his head to see someone who was already standing not far in front of him with a blanket in his hand. He is Su Lang.

“Master Su Lang”

Su Lang approached the bed. Neatly arranged the blankets he brought onto the bed, then moved closer to Chen Ming who was sitting on the chair in front of Bai Ying. Bai Ying stood up and backed away as Su Lang approached Chen Ming and lifted his body up, moving him onto the bed not far beside him. Su Lang walks limpingly, looks like his leg was hurt.

Bai Ying covered his mouth, holding back the thought of what had happened to his brother who he last saw was still in good health. And now, it’s like there’s no life at all, is he too late?

“Brother”

Soon after that.

Bai Ying, who couldn’t stop crying, was already sitting with Su Lang not far in front of the bed. After carrying Chen Ming’s helpless body onto the bed, the Prince fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine given by Su Lang. The young man became the only person who looked after Chen Ming after the King forbade all the servants to attend to him. Apparently, the evil king intended to make Chen Ming die slowly and painfully.

Su Lang pushed the cup of tea he just poured in front of Bai Ying.

“Your Highness, please, have a drink.”

Bai Ying stared at the cup for a long time. Remembering what he had been through with his brother who was very cheerful all this time. Even though part of it might be a dream that was very difficult for him to explain, he could clearly see the cheerful smile of his handsome brother with a face that was shining like the sun.

“Hey brat, what are you doing there, come here, let’s eat!” His voice still rang outside Bai Ying’s ears. His laughter was so beautiful. His own flesh and blood Brother, the only family he had.

“Ems, Brother Ming Ming”

Bei Yau’s stiff face, but looks very cute as he laughed. All those beautiful faces, now, had all disappeared from him.

His hands trembled as he held the teacup with both of his hands. His heart was so hurt that he almost run off the oxygen around him. How could he remain to calm down?

“H-how did this all happen, Mister Su? What did they give brother? He, was very healthy the last time I saw him, ems..”

Bai Ying held his breath, unable to speak further as his breath hitched. He covered his mouth to keep himself from crying, even though it hurt, but he had to know what had happened. He lifted his face to see Su Lang’s face which was not as bright as the last time he saw him. The young guard looked dispirited, with a sad and lackluster look in his eyes.

“Is it, Grandfather King who did this?” Bai Ying asked.

Su Lang swallowed hard as if gathering the strength to answer, he himself couldn’t hide his sadness and his eyes looked puffy as if he had been crying.

He was indeed crying. Before Bai Ying came in, he cried for a long time beside Chen Ming who suddenly woke up after how many days of lying coma like this. The very smart Young prince, there was no more light in his beautiful pair of eyes, not even have that pretty face on him again, he, he’s gone now.

Su Lang held his breath for a moment. Raising his head to look at Bai Ying, he nodded.

“That’s right, Your Majesty, all because of His Majesty the King’s order, he, asked Du Gu San to give His Highness the most dangerous poison. The poison didn’t kill him, but, made him a living doll, throughout his life. And, with his current condition, His Royal Highness Prince Chen Ming has been declared lifeless, only his body is alive, not his mind.”

Bai Ying’s tears flowed again. He wanted to scream, but could only grip the cup in his hand tightly. Can’t imagine the suffering his brother is going through now.

“Brother”
