Chapter 93
93 Was The Crown Prince Really Killed?
#Warning, the scene is a little bit too much, think as this was soap opera.
Rain still fell so hard at the pitch-black night.
BaiYing who was hiding behind the wall hesitated for a moment, he thought he should find The Crown Prince by himself and ask, but, just as when he about to step out his foot, someone from the end of the bridge appeared, walking gracefully under an umbrella, she’s Concubine Ye, no, from her appearance now, how big and luxurious her clothes is, she should be Empress Ye.
“Your Majesty, what are you doing in the rain? What if Your Majesty falls ill? What are you thinking of?”
The Crown Prince turned to Empress Ye, he held the umbrella in the Empress’ hand and then wrapped his arms around her, the two walked hand in hand down the bridge.
“MuMu, I was thinking of a name for our child, and it’s so good thinking in the rain, I haven’t felt that in such a long time.”
Empress Ye was so spoiled that she clung to the Crown Prince who was very gentle towards her, the man raised his hand to smooth Empress Ye’s hair which was slightly wet from the rain.
“It’s wet, you’ll get sick MuMu.”
The petite beauty patted the Crown Prince’s arm lightly.
.....
“Ackh, this servant is so tough Your Majesty, don’t compare me to the other one, just a little windy can make him sick”
The Crown Prince was exasperated, he pinched Empress Ye’s nose in exasperation.
“Ich MuMu, why do you have to talk about that person again”
BaiYing clenched his fists, holding back the anger that rose to the top of his head, his heart was already broken, what was the difference between killing him slowly or instants?
What had he been feeling all this time, what that person showed him all this time is just fake? BaiYing glanced around, whether it was because of the heavy rain or the situation of the Peony Garden which was so safe that there was not a single guard there, his anger made him blind, even if he has to die in that evil Crown Prince hands he would be very much satisfied because he had vented everything, he would die happily.
Without a second thought, BaiYing, who was holding the guard’s short dagger he took at the prison earlier, dashed forward towards the Crown Prince and Empress Ye.
“God damn it! Why are you doing this to me!” BaiYing’s pain was unstoppable, he ran as fast as he could straight towards the Crown Prince while brandishing his dagger, the two of them didn’t notice his sudden arrival, until...
“Bruk!”
BaiYing slammed into the Crown Prince’s body with a dagger drawn into his stomach, directly stabbing him, deeply.
Fresh blood flowed, instantly blending with the rainwater causing all the water around the Crown Prince and BaiYing to be red.
The Crown Prince’s eyes went wide as he realized what had happened.
Seeing that, Empress Ye who had been pushed down immediately screamed hysterically.
“Ahhh! Guards!” she shouted loudly.
BaiYing still held the dagger, pulled it out, and stabbed it again, time and time again, even though the Crown Prince’s hand was holding him but the wound caused by the dagger rendered him helpless, his huge body fell to the ground with BaiYing on top of him.
“Y-YingYing” fresh blood spouted from his mouth, his eyes widened at BaiYing, trying to raise his hand to caress the young man’s cheek, clearly visible in his beautiful pair of eyes, there was nothing but anger and resentment, no more love in those eyes.
“Y-YingYing”
BaiYing restrained himself, he restrained himself from becoming weak because of his love, the tears keep flowing from his eyes as hurt as his heart now, the footsteps of the guards rushed closer, but all the sounds seemed to be meaningless, his world suddenly became empty, silent, soundless.
“Kill him!”
BeiYau shouted as he drew closer to BaiYing, the young man couldn’t help but surrender when BeiYau’s longsword slashed at his back.
“Sheets!!”
Fresh blood splattered into the air and again mingled with the unrelenting rainwater, BaiYing’s body fell heavily, right on top of the Crown Prince’s cold body.
“Brukk!”
BaiYing tried to raise his hand, with the remaining strength trying to caress the now motionless Crown Prince’s cheek with wide eyes, his love, all of his heart, shattered with him, died with him too.
“Y-Your Majesty”
Until BaiYing’s strength was gone and the hand fell limply on the Crown Prince’s face, his body fell on top of the Crown Prince’s body and the blood kept flowing, the lotus pond beneath them became red with it.
The scene was so dramatic, the rain, the dark skies, the blood, flashed by the dim light of the lamp.
His eyes could still see clearly the full moon was so big above them, the moon was getting closer and closer, was this really the end of him? Why is it so sad? He never thought it would turn out like this, his heart broke into pieces.
“Egh, Your Majesty”
“YingYing!” the Crown Prince screams.
He should be dead, why is his voice still so clear and loud? But, how come he could still hear him so clearly?
“YingYing!” the voice again, getting louder, made BaiYing open his eyes instantly.
Gasping.
“Hoooh”
“Your Majesty!” As if jolted from a dream, BaiYing opened his eyes and found sunlight directly hitting his eyes. Someone was in front of him, someone with a round and short body, he didn’t even know him, who was he? Was he’s the angel who was supposed to take him to hell?
“I’m willing to die!”
That person’s voice, BaiYing’s eyes widened, that person was standing in front of him where there was a lot of cavalries that he recognized quite well, one of them was pulling arrows towards them, without thinking twice BaiYing who suddenly had more strength, got up and pushed the man’s body. They fell, just as an arrow shot towards it.
‘Sheets!’
And after that, he didn’t move anymore, maybe it was just a dream.
“YingYing!”
#This episode ended here.
....
Crack.
The sound of the door opening from outside, with half-bowed bodies, several young maidservants entered neatly into the large room in the center of Lili’s pavilion.
Several people sat in the living room around the dining table, one of them was concubine Ye who seemed to be entertaining some important guests that afternoon, two old men in the official attire of a palace official who had a higher position, the color of his clothes was red with gold thread embroidery, and two younger men in level six official attire, dark brown.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy the banquet held by concubine Ye that afternoon while chatting intimately.
“Hahahaha this is great”
“I am very confident in concubine Ye’s abilities, uh, sorry, future Empress Ye, surely can win His Majesty the Emperor’s favor for the underdeveloped village proposal that was submitted yesterday,” said YaoAn, one of the top-level five, The Peoples Welfare state officials, all smiled at the old man’s words, including Mu’er who blushed.
“Hehehe official Yo, it’s just because I’m lucky Your Majesty would read my proposal, this is really unexpected”
As the conversation was heating up, a young maid, San’er approach and whispered in Mu’er’s ear, instantly Mu’er’s eyes widened heard the news delivered by her personal maid.
“Really?” San’er nodded.
After that Mu’er raised her body.
“Oh, my big apologies, gentlemen, suddenly His Highness the Crown Prince summoned me, may we continue our chat another time?”
The officials chuckled, surely, concubine Ye can indeed be the most sweet-spoken, beautiful and seductive face, gentle nature, who wouldn’t like her?
“Hehehe of course Your Majesty, it’s a great honor for us”
.........
In the Plum pavilion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Crown Prince tried to open BaiYing’s bedroom door, even intending to break it down, it wouldn’t be difficult for him, but he couldn’t do that.
“YingYing! Open the door!” he cried, annoyed that BaiYing had locked himself in his room and wouldn’t let him in.
While in the room.
BaiYing seemed so busy opening all his cupboards and drawers, taking out whatever valuables he found, his two maids Yan and Bi who followed him couldn’t stop him, since waking up Concubine Hua immediately locked the room and prepared all his belongings as if he was about to run away.
“Your Majesty”
BaiYing put all his jewels, any valuables into the cloth bag he had prepared, then pushed them towards his two maids.
“This, sister Yan, sister Bi, you take all this and leave the palace as soon as possible, don’t come back no matter what, go as far as possible.”
But the two maids were worried about BaiYing who was acting strangely like he was possessed by a ghost.
“Your Majesty” the two didn’t even know what to say, the maids keep following BaiYing who was panicked and frightened like being chased by a criminal, his hands were shaking, it’s so cold when he touched his maid’s hand, naturally making the two maids anxious.
“YingYing!”
It didn’t take long for the Crown Prince to finally enter the room, his eyes widening at the sight of the entire room being cluttered with all of BaiYing’s belongings.
“What happened?” asked the Crown Prince, his two maids shook their heads at the same time, BaiYing was still going around tirelessly taking out all his things from the cupboard until LuoXiang approached him and grabbed his two hands to stop him.
“YingYing what are you doing?”
BaiYing’s eyes widened when he saw the Crown Prince’s face, he tried with all his might to let go of the man’s grip and push his body away.
“Don’t come near me! Don’t touch my maid! Don’t hurt them.”
.....
BaiYing stood in front of Yan and Bi as if trying to protect him, his eyes looking at the Crown Prince with trepidation, LuoXiang stepped forward again and held BaiYing’s body.
