CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

97 The Real Culprit are?

So? Why is the Crown Prince heading to the Plum pavilion again? Wasn’t BaiYing said to have gone mad and raged every time he saw the Crown Prince?

Let see, the time was rewinded back to five days ago, in BaiYing’s room in the Plum Pavilion, just after BaiYing regained consciousness after returning from captivity.

“YingYing!” The voice of the Crown Prince who panicked as BaiYing continued to rebel like a madman, that he had no other choice but to squeeze his nerves and let the young man droop in his arms.

It wasn’t long before the physician arrived, after the old man checked BaiYing.

“Then physician, what happened to YingYing?” asked the Crown Prince impatiently approaching physician Wan, the old man lowering his head in salute before answering.

“Report Your Majesty, Her Majesty Concubine Hua may have been exposed to some kind of nerve poison, according to the initial examination the poison has entered the blood and will always make Her Majesty Concubine Hua hallucinates and keep living in the dream world”

“Nerve poison?” The Crown Prince’s eyes widened,

“Is there any antidote? YingYing will be fine if he drinks the antidote right?”

Physician Wan lowered his head again.

.....

“My majesty, Your Highness Consort Hua’s condition is currently so weak, seems to be also severely dehydrated, has not eaten or drank for couple days, it is recommended to gather strength before taking the antidote so as not to damage her nerves”

The Crown Prince clenched his fists in anger.

“Officer FuYa, what has he done?”

Not long after, the Crown Prince and BeiYau visited the prison, where they locked up the FuYa official who was been caught after kidnapping and holding concubine Hua for two days. That old man took the wrong steps without thinking clearly about kidnapping concubine Hua while he was in the Lili pavilion. But that senior official now regretted his actions, he couldn’t forgive himself for being instigated so easily and harming a person he shouldn’t have.

“Forgive my daughter, Your Majesty, just punish this old servant, I am so stupid to believe such a word, so stupid, deaths are not even enough to punish me,” said the official who was now kneeling before the Crown Prince.

LuoXiang pursed his lips, if it wasn’t for BaiYing’s request he would have punished that person with the severest punishment, but at this rate, he could only swallow his saliva, even though he was annoyed but BaiYing had warned him not to punish people he shouldn’t.

“Then where is the antidote for the nerve poison that you gave to concubine Hua? Get it out quickly.”

Official Fu raised his head, furrowing his brows at the Crown Prince’s words.

“Ne-nerve poison? Servants don’t understand, during captivity, servants don’t feed Her Highness Consort Hua anything, there’s no poison or anything, my only intention is to let Her Majesty Concubine Hua feel so hungry and thirsty.”

The Crown Prince should know, this man in front of him is just a person who becomes a stupid scapegoat, the main culprit of course was other people, a person who so smart enough to make this whole mess.

.....

Several shadows flashed between the dense trees, the forest not far behind the Crown Prince’s palace.

BeiYau was seen darting between the tree trunks pausing for a moment to see where his enemy was going fast, barely able to keep up with his movements.

Whoosh!

The strong wind blew wide tree leaves that fell to the ground, the sound of light footsteps on the branches to the slash of sharp weapons in the air.

Sheets!

Two long weapons clashed, BeiYau’s longsword and his enemy’s black shiny long chain, a small young girl in black dominant clothes glistening in the moonlight, a pretty face with light make-up and hair tied all the way up in a ponytail.

The girl smirked as the chains wrapped around BeiYau’s longsword, she was Ye’s concubine, or whoever she really was, a young woman with sharp and fierce eyes who possessed quite a high level of internal power and martial arts, she could dodge the attacks of BeiYau, the YueYang’s number one bodyguard so easily.

“Hehe, Guard Bei, you indeed so good”

BeiYau smirked, the petite woman in front of him did have very strong strength, he didn’t expect.

“Heh, Concubine Ye, you are too modest, it is more appropriate for you, which is really great”

That petite woman, concubine Ye or not her real name pulled the chain and shot towards BeiYau, BeiYau was caught off his guard when the woman opened her palm and scattered white powder towards BeiYau who tried to cover his face, but he was too late, it might be poison, it’s bad! Thought BeiYau, he couldn’t dodge as Mu’er opened her palms wide and headed towards BeiYau with lightning speed, but before her hand could hit BeiYau’s chest something wrapped around her waist and pulled it very hard to the ground.

Brukk!

“Akh!”

She winced in pain, a whip was wrapped around her slender waist, not long after that the Crown Prince shot down from behind a tree on the other side, the Crown Prince’s special guards immediately took out swords and drew them at Mu’er who was still sitting down on the ground.

BeiYau dashed down towards the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince threw his hands away, folded his very wide sleeves and hooked his hands behind his waist, came closer, and stood in front of concubine Ye who was saw him with her sharp eyes.

“Hehe, isn’t Your Majesty feeling ashamed? Facing me, who none other than just a weak woman with so many people”

LuoXiang smirked.

“Hehe, why should I be ashamed? Ask yourself, are you really a weak girl, or an extraordinarily clever and cunning girl who pretends to be so weak?”

Mu’er pursed her lips, she smirked, even laughing loudly.

“Hehe, hahahaha, Your Majesty is so funny, how did you know if I was just pretending? That’s my skill, but, some people are so stupid to take me seriously, it’s not entirely my fault”

The Crown Prince lowered his body, he looked at concubine Ye from a distance so close, he pulled his lips into a smile while looking deeply at Mu’er, a look that made the young woman gulp.

“You think, why don’t I like you so much? You may be able to deceive others, but not me, concubine Ye, I wonder, what did you think when you found out that what we did those nights, was just a charade.”

Mu’er’s face changed, holding back her emotions until she raised her hand and was about to slap the Crown Prince’s cheek, but LuoXiang’s hand was faster than hers, he threw the young lady’s hand away from him and got up.

“When did you know it?” Mu’er asked curiously, she asked, as when the two guards were about to pull her up.

The Crown Prince shook off his clothes which were stained with some leaves and dirt.

“You think, who can recover so quickly from the Red Flower poison, in a state of severe poisoning you still managed to recover as usual, while for concubine Hua, he needed quite a long time by taking all the antidotes and was only able to get better after tens of days, if it wasn’t for you possessing a very high level of profound knowledge, or because you had an antidote that worked instantly, it would be difficult for you to recover very quickly.”

Mu’er was still standing still before the guards took her.

“I have a family that has great medicine skills, that’s not the main reason right?”

The Crown Prince turned to Mu’er, saw her, and smiled again.

“Hehe, of course, that’s not solid evidence, what became very strong evidence was, when Concubine Hua found the evidence in your room”

Mu’er smirked again before the Crown Prince could finish his sentence.

“Heh that powder? It was a neurotoxin, what evidence did he find of it? Besides, I threw it away before you all came.”

The Crown Prince shook his head.

“Heh, that’s not it, long before he went to your room that day, concubine Hua had already found evidence of poison in your own bed when you were poisoned after the banquet, there was never poison in the drink or anything, if there was, YingYing would have been exposed to it because he also drank it. You are indeed very smart, but quite careless because of the poison powder that was left under your clothes when concubine Hua tried to help you find clothes, and, there was enough, enough to make concubine Hua take it home to show it to Physician Wan

Hearing that, Mu’er clenched her fist.

“Insolent, that brat”

“Brat? Who are you calling a bad one? Concubine Hua, or yourself YeMu, wait, is that really your name?”

Mu’er smirked again, her confident look in her eyes making the Crown Prince think she had hidden something.

“Heh, you, perhaps it is better to ask yourself that, Your Majesty, what, concubine Hua, really is concubine Hua? Do you think no one knows about his whereabouts in this palace? You are too naive to think that assassins came for him if they don’t know about his true identity.”

The Crown Prince swallowed his saliva.

“Who are you guys? Why do you keep chasing him? Is it really for the Blood Stone?”

Mu’er straightened up.

“For the sake of Bloodstone or not, one thing for sure, right now there are the ones who wants his body more than anything, and, hey, I’m sure that person will really enjoy it, Yen’er sister is indeed so cute”

Mu’er’s words made the Crown Prince open his eyes wide, what did she mean, but that’s definitely not a good thing, It’s bad, BaiYing, he exclaimed in his heart.

“Bei take care of her!” The Crown Prince quickly ran towards the palace, still hearing Mu’er’s voice laughing with satisfaction.
