CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

General Po is standing not far from the entrance talking to General Mu Yi who is slowly recovering from their injuries.

General Po patted General Mu Yi’s shoulder who had kept his head down from the start unable to lift his head for shame.

“I really don’t deserve forgiveness after what I’ve done, this is completely unforgivable.”

Old General Po smiled.

“Mu Yi, you are indeed guilty and the punishment will definitely be carried out, only it is not in my right to decide it. You guys are in an unconscious state because you are under the influence of the Enchantment spell, I don’t think it’s entirely your fault either”

While Bai Ying couldn’t stop smiling as he chatted with Yi Fang and the others. It made Luo Xiang who was standing beside the Emperor unable to take his eyes off him.

“So brother and the others have almost become their butts? Sorry to hear that, then is your wound getting better now? Do you want Ying er’s help?” Bai Ying asked looking at Yi Fang’s bandaged hand. Yi Fang shook his head.

“Nah, It’s just a minor wound, no big deal.”

.....

Xi Hu and Ye Lu were also in front of Bai Ying.

“Your Majesty, we will head back to Yue Yang first, and probably won’t stop at Bu Mo. Since becoming the head of the martial world Father has been very busy and needs a lot of help as soon as possible”

Bai Ying widened his eyes. He had forgotten that the Cold Water clan came out victorious in the annual competition.

“Oh, forgive me for forgetting about that, Young Master, congratulations on the Cold Water Clan becoming the winner in the first place, surely you guys will be very busy huh”

Xi Hu smiled, he clenched his hands in front of his chest bowing his head to Bai Ying.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, it’s all because of Lu er who represents our clan, he didn’t use his black chain at all during the match, only used the Cold Water Clan’s martial arts, I didn’t expect him to be able to do it,” said Xi Hu turning to Ye Lu and couldn’t stop smiling, he even squeezed Ye Lu’s hand and his grip by his side. Ye Lu couldn’t hide his embarrassment, the look in Xi Hu’s eyes on him did make him chill in a hot sweat.

“That’s it, it’s my duty young master”

Bai Ying frowned looking at Ye Lu, he saw his right hand where he always used a black chain in every battle.

“But, brother Ye Lu, why don’t you use your black chain? Is there a ban on using weapons in matches?” he asked.

Ye Lu stuttered, he looked at Bai Ying and Xi Hu alternately.

“Em, that, there’s actually no prohibition anyway”

“That’s because the black chain is the weapon of the Poison Valley clan, so as a representative of the Cold Water Clan Lu er can’t use weapons from other clans for fighting” Xi Hu explained.

Bai Ying nodded.

“That’s true, the black chain belongs to the Poison Valley clan, but since brother Ye Lu owns it since birth, this weapon will remain brother Ye Lu’s forever. Em, oh yeah, speaking of the Poison valley, did you guys see where Du Gu Ye Wang went? I hadn’t seen him since that attack, I forgot about it”

Ye Lu stuttered.

“Eh that”

“That person may have run away because he didn’t want to get involved, that man, a coward who only thinks about himself,” said Xi Hu.

“Eh, sorry Lu er but your brother is indeed suspicious, it could be that he is indirectly involved in this matter” added Xi Hu.

Ye Lu was silent. He clenched his fists. Like he had thought that his brother could be involved in the attack until all the bad things happened. Princess Chai Ni wasn’t quite familiar with poison, any kind of poison, but based on what happened, Bai Ying was drugged by a very strong poison that made him think about his brother’s involvement in this, well who else?

Bai Ying smiled.

“Hey, don’t worry about it, it’s on Du Gu Ye Wang, it has nothing to do with brother Ye Lu. Oh well, if there is time Ying er is eager to visit the Cold Water clan to meet sister Mu er, can I, Young Master Xi?” Bai Ying asked.

Xi Hu smiled, and he nodded.

“Of course Your Majesty, Your Majesty can come anytime that Your Majesty wants, we will be very honoured to accept you at our humble place”

Bai Ying couldn’t help to laugh.

“Hehehe that’s great, thank you Young master Xi”

While in the golden carriage. Chen Ming sat alone in the carriage waiting for Xiao Hong to get him some drink, he is so thirsty. He turned his head to hear someone approaching and thought it is Xiao Hong, but it was not.

“Eh, you”

Bei Yau had poked his head inside the curtain, asking Chen Ming’s permission before entering. Chen Ming just turned his face away, his legs hurt so much at that time, how can’t he run to avoid him?

“What do you want?” Chen Ming asked.

Bei Yau slowly walked in, bringing him the drink he had been waiting for, he wouldn’t accept it, because Xiao Hong should have brought it for him, but, he was so thirsty.

Bei Yau smiled.

“Don’t worry, I got it from Xiao Hong, he said he had some things to do so he asked me to deliver a drink for you. And, here, there is an ointment from the palace healer, he said it’s very good for pain relief.”

Without waiting for Chen Ming to reply, Bei Yau tugged on Chen Ming’s injured left leg, slowly so as not to hurt him. Chen Ming remained silent as Bei Yau’s rough but quite gentle hands removed the bandage on his calf.

“Akh be careful guard Bei”

Bei Yau smiled.

“Of course Prince, I will be very careful, the wound has dried up, and the medicine from the palace healer is indeed quite good”

“Well, if only that rotten Brother would help to heal me, it would certainly safe so many troubles”

Bei Yau raised his head, frowning at hearing Chen Ming’s words.

“Oh well, maybe His Majesty the Viceroy doesn’t know that you are injured, I will remind him,” said Bei Yau about to turn his body, but Chen Ming stopped him.

“No need, Bei, Xiao Ying is already too tired, he spent a lot of energy protecting everyone and conquering Fo Wang, I was just murmuring with myself”

Bei Yau sat back down neatly in his place. He lifted Chen Ming’s legs onto his lap, lowering his leg covers completely and removing them from Chen Ming’s slender legs. Bei Yau was stunned for a moment, holding those slender and smooth legs for a long time looking at him without blinking. He lowered his head to kiss Chen Ming’s smooth white feet. Chen Ming was shocked, he pulled his leg.

“Guard Bei what are you doing?”

Bei Yau raised his head, he realized he had gone too far.

“Eh, Please forgive Servant, my Prince”

Chen Ming looked at Bei Yau with his sharp eyes.

“Guard Bei, thanks for the drink, but I want to rest for now, please hurry up and leave me alone.”

Bei Yau lowered his head and put down the bottle of medicinal ointment after poking at the contents with two fingers, smearing it gently on the surface of the torn wound on Chen Ming’s calf. Chen Ming slightly whimpered as the cold ointment touched his wound.

“Akh”

“Pardon me, my Prince, it’s a bit cold, but it can relieve pain and make Prince feel more comfortable so you can rest better.”

Chen Ming lowered his body, he was indeed very tired and couldn’t wait to rest. Bei Yau’s face lit up at that moment, smiling ever since even though he knew he didn’t like his presence there.

“Guard Bei, you know, Hong and I are already inseparable, that means, whatever happened between us in the past, we should be able to let it go.”

Chen Ming’s words made Bei Yau stop his hands for a moment, though then he continued again.

“I know that”

Chen Ming looked at Bei Yau as he said it, the young guard didn’t look disappointed or anything, he was so calm in responding.

“You know, but, why are you still coming and trying to get close to me, it will be very strange, Guard Bei, don’t you feel anything?”

Bei Yau finished applying medicine to the surface of the wound, which was indeed so comfortable that Chen Ming didn’t feel any pain anymore, it’s undeniably a very potent ointment

Bei Yau looked at him, smiling as he ruffled Chen Ming’s messy front hair. Chen Ming was already very sleepy, he didn’t have the energy to prevent Bei Yau from touching him here and there. The young bodyguard’s face was blurry as Chen Ming’s vision began to hazy, he couldn’t hold back his tiredness and finally closed his eyes to sleep.
