CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

94 That Crazy Concubine

“YingYing what do you mean? Who will hurt them? What’s the matter with you, are you crazy?”

LuoXiang’s massive body held BaiYing’s entire body in his arms, the young man panicked and kept struggling.

“I am crazy! Yes, I’m crazy! How can I’m not? Your Majesty lied to me, everything Your Majesty said was just a lie, Your Majesty doesn’t care about me, Your Majesty is just a liar! Let me go!”

BaiYing’s strength was so strong that he kept trying to break free until the Crown Prince was a bit overwhelmed, he glared at the two servants.

“What are you guys waiting for! Quickly call a healer!”

Yan and Bi nodded and immediately ran out.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

LuoXiang hugs BaiYing tight, his body shaking as if he had suffered such a terrible trauma.

“Heh YingYing”

.....

“Your Majesty let me go! Let me go!” BaiYing cried until he had no strength to struggle anymore, he plopped down on his knees while crying loudly like a child.

“Huaaa Your Majesty is a big liar”

Don’t know what happened to the young man but he became so weak because of it, LuoXiang could hardly hold back his tears seeing BaiYing’s condition, he kept hugging and stroking the young man’s back and hair gently.

“No, I didn’t trick you, YingYing what happened to you?”

.......

Not long after that at the courtyard of the Plum pavilion.

The Crown Prince had just come out of the villa when he saw concubine Ye approaching him, what was that concubine doing there at night?

“Your Majesty, forgive me for coming without permission, is sister Yen okay?” she asked, the Crown Prince pursing his lips, slightly frowning at concubine Ye who seemed to be so considerate.

“Eh concubine Ye, um Yen’er is fine, but according to the physician he needs a lot of rest, heh, tonight I can’t bother him,” said the Crown Prince taking a deep breath, concubine Ye looked worried, at least that’s on her face that time, she approached the Crown Prince and looked at that tall handsome man with her beautiful eyes.

“Em, then, Your Majesty, would you like to visit my room? Tonight will be very cold.”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath, the concubine was very clever in taking advantage of the situation, of course, he would not refuse, was he so stupid to refuse the fish that was presented in front of his eyes, he raised his hand to show the way out.

“Please concubine Ye”

Mu’er smiled, her face was so happy that her smile was so wide that her cheeks were all red from it.
“Hehe, Your Highness, please.”

.....

The sun shines brightly.

Little birds play not far from the tree trunks where their nests are located, pretty butterflies fly around the blooming beautiful flowers in the garden behind the Plum Pavilion.

The air was blowing quite cold, blowing a bit of BaiYing’s thin clothes waved quite far.

He sat on a stone chair facing the garden with no expression on his face, Yan and Bi approached, put breakfast on the table, while Bi put a coat on BaiYing’s back.

“Your Majesty, the air is so cold, will Your Majesty just eat inside?” whispered Bi.

BaiYing shook his head. Didn’t say anything, but when Bi’s face turned towards him, BaiYing raised his hand, his eyes wide and holding Bi’s hand tightly.

“Sis Bi, hurry out of the palace, don’t let the Crown Prince catch you, quickly get out of here, Sis Yan, Sis Bi”

Yan and Bi couldn’t hold back their sadness seeing Concubine Hua’s condition, days had passed and he still living in his own world, occasionally shouting, crying, even throwing stuff to the Crown Prince to out from his room, and his condition was getting worse day by day, he has refused to eat anything than only touching porridge and snacks, unlike he used to be before.



The news of Concubine Hua’s madness even reached the ears of the servants around the pavilion, even to Fan’er’s who had not come out for days because of the unfortunate situation.

“What? Concubine Hua, getting crazy?” she asked her maid, Liu’er, the young girl who was now massaging her legs nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty, according to the servant around the pavilion, concubine Hua was crazy and almost beat her maid, she even dared to kick His Highness the Crown Prince out of her room, according to the news, for these couple days has His Highness the Crown Prince already not stayed at the Plum pavilion”

Hearing that Fan’er turned her head, this is very important news, how could she miss it?

“Then, where did he go if not to the Plum Pavilion?” he asked,

Liu’er whispered.

“From what I heard, to the Lili pavilion.”

Hearing that Fan’er held her chest.

“Lili Pavilion? Concubine Ye? That slut, how could she take advantage of the situation so quickly, it looks like far left behind.”

....

In the palace prison.

The person who captive BaiYing a few days ago underwent a severe sentence that left his whole body covered in blood from the whips, not to mention the end of his suffering, the slightly chubby old man had to be doused in cold water, and shivered all night on the cold prison floor, his eyes almost closed when a young man resembling a warden approaching.

“Old man, here’s some food for you!” he exclaimed, the young warden glanced around, the conditions in the prison were not so crowded because other prisoners had been moved out of town to serve their next sentence.

Sreengg!

The warden opened the lock and entered, while the man was still trying to get up, the man dressed as a warden quickly pulled something out from behind his waist.

“Akh!” without warning the warden took out a long white cloth and wrapped it around that prisoner’s neck, he strangled him.

“Akkh!” the sound of his screams was muffled, no one could hear him in the prison since the guard are changing the sift during the time.

...

Chit chit chit chit.

The little bird landed in the courtyard of the Cold pavilion.

For days, Lan’er had been sitting alone on her chair staring at her increasingly shabby face in the mirror that Concubine Hua had brought to her last time he visits, and now, who knows how many days had passed, even Concubine Hua’s voice was no longer heard anywhere, he also leave her.

There is a wooden peg that is not so high in front of the bed, it is said, that peg will be used for anyone in the royal family who will end their life because they can’t stand the suffering while being confined in the Cold Pavilion, white cloth for her to end her life is already there not far from the table beside the bed, she finds it in a drawer and takes it out, it’s all meaningless, why is she alive if she can’t get out of this terrible place, it’s the same as dying.

Lan’er stood up, lifted the chair she was sitting on and placed it under the wooden peg, looked up for a moment to see the blackish-red log covered with a thin layer of dust around it, tears rolled down Lan’er’s cheeks, this, maybe her fate.

Didn’t take long, a long white cloth waved down from the wooden pegs, a fallen chair and a piece of white paper with something written on it, the wind blowing it flying far away, in the cold pavilion villa room which was very quiet there was almost no sound there, an eerie silence.

....

“Your Majesty!”

Yan and Bi looked around and looked around all the way to the Peony Garden, where BaiYing had quickly disappeared.

“Ouch, Yan what should we do? His Highness Concubine Hua has disappeared, he is still not well”

Bi held Yan’s shaking hand, her head still looking around, the sky was getting very dark. They had to find Concubine Hua as soon as possible or he could fall asleep anywhere because of his condition.

“Let’s go there, maybe Your Majesty is going that way”

Bi pulled Yan’s hand towards another concubine’s pavilion not far down the road.

.........

BaiYing tried to see what was happening, he couldn’t help but stay still, his head trying to see clearly from quite a distance away, he tried to climb up to the tallest trunk of the big tree outside Lili Pavilion to see what was going on since the Crown Prince was always heading there.

He would catch him, that man, the number one masher, was very good at seizing opportunities in adversity.

“Ah, why didn’t I bring my binoculars” he complained, he made his own binoculars from a roll of paper and clear crystal stones which turned out to be used to see far away, he didn’t even take it with him when he needed.

Days in his pavilion and not being able to go out made him even crazier, when everyone thought he was crazy no one would blame him if he climbed up the tree and peeked right? He’s a madman, it’s legal to do whatever he wants.

BaiYing who raised his head high trying to look around, there was the main house and two small buildings, one kitchen, and one unused storehouse.

BaiYing remembered the last time he visited there concubine Ye did not allow anyone to enter the warehouse which locked from the outside, He knew that because Yan and Bi were running out the spices and trying to find it for their food, they intended to look it there, it was a dry food-spices storehouse, but it closed so tight.

Until something inside the storehouse shocked him.
