237 Being Distracted

LuoXiang chuckled, he took a sip of his tea and put it back on the table.

“He, actually, I wanted to do that too, but, someone asked me to think with a cool head, finish off you, or your family, not a disgrace to my country, why should I hesitate to do it? However your foolish Prince dared touch my concubine with his dirty hands, the punishment for anyone who dared to harass the royal family was dead, that’s for sure, but, that stupid child prevented me from killing him, and, you think, why would I bother killing him outside the palace? While I can do it very easily in the palace with all the crimes that your son has committed?”

King MeYa stuttered, he swallowed his saliva whole, although he must admit that the Crown Prince’s words made him realize something very important.

“That’s because you don’t want everyone to know that the palace killed him!” exclaimed King MeYa.

LuoXiang smirked.

“That’s why King, if I really don’t want people to know what I’ve done, why would I send my men, in full armor, soldiers from the Crown Prince’s palace to attack your entourage? What, does that mean I did it on purpose to let you know that the assailant was me?”

“Well, even if it’s true, I honorable Crown Prince won’t attack stealthily if I attack people, everyone should know that it was indeed done by me, but, this is ridiculous, why recapture the snake I’ve released from my trap, is this not the same as wasting my precious time?”

King MeYa looked at the Crown Prince with a sharp gaze.

“Don’t talk much, you keep talking nonsense even after killing my son and still denied it”

.....

“Old Man, I thought you were smart, but, don’t you feel that you have been fooled by someone? Why am I the Crown Prince so bothered to kill someone who is no longer important to me? Do you really not know who this venerable Crown Prince really is?”

King MeYa swallowed his saliva, looked around, and didn’t find the person who was the reason he sent his troops to die, and that person wasn’t there.

“Insolent, that person”

“Who do you mean by that person?” asked Bei Yau.

King MeYa saw his men as the high commanders who had also been arrested.

“That bastard Yi, he said he would deploy reinforcements as soon as possible, if that fellow didn’t run away there’s no way I could lose so pitifully like this”

Hearing that LuoXiang straightened his seat, looked at King MeYa for a moment.

“What do you mean by reinforcements? Who is he who can give you so many reinforcements who can defeat my very formidable troops? I think he is just tricking you old man”

King MeYa smirked.

“Hehe, he’s not an ordinary person, I’ve seen one person of his clan defeat five tough warriors from NuMen who are basically very strong, you can see for yourself how my soldiers easily beat yours if it wasn’t for their unbalanced numbers, we probably won’t lose, just imagine if one person can take down five NuMen’s”

LuoXiang lowered his legs which had been crossed earlier, sitting seriously listening to the words of the NuMen King.

“Clan? Which clan do you mean? How could the NuMen kingdom cooperate with the Clans from outside to attack YueYang?”

“Crown Prince, NuMen is a small kingdom, many are willing to ally with NuMen, everyone will be welcome, earlier, I thought that person was right when he said his help would come this afternoon to help with the attack, but, that’s just bullshit”

LuoXiang hit the table, his eyes wide.

“What do you mean to come this afternoon? Where does all that help go if they didn’t help you?”

King MeYa just shook his head.

“How could I know, that Lord Yi might give up his intention to help and run away.”

As bad thoughts and forebodings raced in LuoXiang’s heart, the little messenger guard entered the room quickly.

“Report!”

BeiYau told the little bodyguard to stand up.

“Report Your Majesty, there is an attack on the Imperial palace, the situation is very chaotic”

LuoXiang stood up quickly, his guess was correct, that person distracted them with an attack outside SanPo city and they attacked the palace when there were no core troops guarding there.

“Insolent that person!”

Without thinking twice the Crown Prince rushed to the door and exited quickly.

.....

The fire had just been extinguished on the east side of the Imperial Palace in the Dragon Hall, a white flame that shouldn’t have been extinguished before it had completely wiped out everything, but with ShinYa’s efforts, he managed to quell the flames even though it cost him his energy.

ShinYa was exhausted, his energy was almost completely drained, he was injured even though it wasn’t that bad but exerting too much energy made his body weaker.

“Heh”

Commander Liu who was standing behind him caught him before he fell.

“Hey Master Shin”

ShinYa smiled, apparently, he was indeed tired, the battles that could only be muffled until the sun rose again made everyone tired, some wounded soldiers being taken to the room to be treated, and YueYang’s banners that had fallen were secured.

Smoke still seemed to be billowing after being left in a state of disrepair, they suffered defeat, many YueYang soldiers fell injured and even died, had it not been for BaiYing, the casualties would have been even greater, and he had already sacrificed himself for everyone.

ShinYa and others turned their heads when they heard the sound of galloping horses approaching from the gate, the Crown Prince’s troop had already returned. LuoXiang sat on his white horse looking at the Dragon field which was covered in blood almost everywhere, his eyes widened wide looking at ShinYa, his heart was pounding, He knew something bad had happened when he didn’t see BaiYing near the divine shaman.

Everyone, including the injured one, lowered their bodies when they saw the Crown Prince jump down from his horse, straight to ShinYa.

“Master Shin, where is YingYing!”

........

“No!”

Loud screams, splattered blood, even pooled like a pool under his mother’s majestic clothes, and now, the same pool of blood beneath Lan’er’s defenseless body.

“Sister Lan’er don’t go”

BaiYing crying so hard, his tears wouldn’t stop, Lan’er’s hands were already limp when he didn’t have the time to help her, she’s already lifeless.

“No sister, don’t leave Ying’er, sister Lan’er”

The dark night sky seemed to be spinning very fast, all of BaiYing’s sorrow and tears were unstoppable, his heart ached so much that he could not bear the pain so great that it made his body weak.

Even because of his weak body he didn’t get to see concubine Fu’s cremation which everyone was crying about, including his own father, old man Fu.

“Huks Lan’er, what a poor fate of you, poor child, ems, why did you leave your father like this? Lan’er”

BaiYing was cold, a chill swept him into his bones, he could only stand near the Cold pavilion building where family cremations usually take place, the pavilion hadn’t been opened for a long time, and he knew how cold it was in there. The fire from the cremation blazed enormously in the center of the field.

Someone approached from behind and wrapped his body.

“Ying’er, the air is very cold, your body is still weak, let’s just go inside.”

The Crown Prince’s voice, BaiYing touched the Crown Prince’s hand which touched his shoulders, feeling the warmth of the big hand which made the cold slightly lessen, though, he still felt it. Even that luxurious long fur coat couldn’t keep out the cold air. The pavilion was filled only with long white and black paper and other funeral ornaments, pale white flowers in every corner, white curtains that floated in the wind, this was another funeral after he buried his whole family, and the hurt still exists.

It feels like thousands of knives are stuck in his heart but doesn’t let him die because of it, he endured even though the pain was so great, and when he tried to draw air, there was just the cold air that actually blocked his throat and making him harder to breathe.

“Ekh Your Majesty, why not just be me? Why does it have to be sister Lan’er who got nothing to do with this?”

The Crown Prince who was standing behind him hugged BaiYing tightly, trying to get the cold air away from him.

“Because, you’re so precious to everyone, that’s why Ying’er”

BaiYing frowned, he had never heard the Crown Prince addressing him as Ying’er before, just like Consort Hua, that wasn’t his nickname.

BaiYing turned his body to see the Crown Prince who was standing tall behind him, who was smiling broadly looking at him, BaiYing wiped his tears, that person, that smile, he was not like the Crown Prince he knew.

“Y-you, who are you?”

Laughter sounded loud.

In an instant, everything in BaiYing’s sight was changed, the Crown Prince’s face disappeared in the wind as well as all the buildings where he stood, so did the large courtyard of the Cold Pavilion, all suddenly just scattered with the wind.

“Ekh”

“Hahahahaha, you are indeed a very smart kid Xing’er, it’s not in vain to let you live all this time.”
