CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

BaiYing had to do the same routine for several days and day by day the pain from the energy that urges made BaiYing suffer more and more. His body is getting frail and thin, pale face and has no appetite.

Lan’er stood outside BaiYing’s room trying to stop herself from crying after she tried to persuade the young man to eat but he chose to sleep instead.

“Concubine Fu”

ShinYa approached FuLan who was standing near the stairs.

“Master Shin, em you, going to practice?”

ShinYa nodded.

“Yes, I have to train my inner eye, as a Devine shaman I must be able to balance a little of the Viceroy’s strength, he is very strong, heh, at least, this is what I can do”

FuLan smiled, the two of them then slowly descended the stairs and sat at a round table in the center of the room. Everyone was busy, BeiYau and ChenMing went to practice, the Crown Prince never left the room, and FuLan thought that if she didn’t do anything he would be of no use there at all.

.....

ShinYa poured tea into a small cup and pushed it gently in front of the dreamy Lan’er.

“Concubine Fu what are you thinking?”

FuLan turned his head, shook her head, and smiled, grabbed the teacup in front of her gulped it down slowly.

“This place is beautiful, but, Ying’er hasn’t had time to enjoy it yet, heh, he must be very happy to see the big hares above the valley and the beautiful ponies, the child also likes wild animals, maybe he will also run to the wolves if he sees it, such a cheerful kid”

“Your Majesty will recover, his inner strength is very strong, he just needs to figure out how to control it, and with His Majesty’s ability, I believe he will get through it soon and return to being a cheerful young man”

Concubine Fu nodded.

“That’s right, he is like the sun, no matter how hard the storm before he will shine again, heh, that child, I never expected a beautiful skinny child with an adorable face that made me and others hate him because his beautiful face, has a very complicated life path, quite a short amount of time, so many things happened at once.”

Concubine Fu sighed, remembering the past in the palace until her eyes filled with tears.

“Ems, in the past, just after his entire family was killed XiaoYing, suffered the most, he often daydreams and secretly cries without anyone seeing him, he will just sit on the edge of the fish pond with his head leaning on the pole with a blank look, I had no have empathy for him before, but, sometimes my heart also hurts to see he suffered and makes such beautiful eyes tear up, ems”

Concubine Fu finally couldn’t hold back her tears, gently wiped them with her handkerchief.

“Ems, he’s a young boy, he doesn’t even know how harsh the world is and suddenly he’s thrown so hard into the bottom of the abyss that he has no other choice but to survive, poor boy, sob, why is he so poor” and finally she couldn’t stop herself from bursting into tears.

ShinYa could only swallow his saliva, he didn’t know what to do and scratched his head clumsily.

“Eh concubine Fu”

“Huaaaaa poor little Ying, big sister wronged you, huks, why was your sister so mean to you back then? Why is this idiot so useless, huks poor XiaoYing”

“Concubine Fu try to calm down, here I am pouring some more tea yeah”

“Huaaaa little Ying”

........

Klekk.

The sky was getting dark, BaiYing’s room was very calm. The young man just lay on his bed after a long day, the Crown Prince approached and sat on the edge.

“Hey, look who wants to talk” he whispered.

BaiYing turned his head, he could faintly see a person standing not far behind the Crown Prince.

“Brother TangTang” his hoarse voice.

Crown Prince smiled.

“Yeah, you said you wanted to talk to him? Brother will leave you for a while, Brother XiangXiang have a discussion below”

BaiYing slowly tried to pull his body to sit back, all his veins and muscles hurt unbelievably, even the slightest touch made him tormented.

“Yes brother”

.......

Bokk bokk bokk.

Quick footsteps entered the bungalow’s central room, where the Crown Prince and the others were sitting in the discussion, the healer Ou among them.

“What is it XiaoLi?”

BeiYau asked his men who had just gone to observe the situation on the mountain.

“Report Guard Bei, the water in the middle of the river that splits the cold cave suddenly froze on its own, and some of the surrounding animals also died frozen.”

BeiYau turned to the Crown Prince. He saw Physician Ou who finished drinking his tea stroking his short beard.

“Hemh, this is very strange, this has never happened before”

“Is this due to the energy released from the Cold cave? According to the healer Ou YiXing taking energy from nature to channel it into YingYIng’s body to reverse his energy, could that be what caused all these strange natural phenomena to occur?”

Physician Ou thought.

“Hemh, this is very strange Your Majesty, Golden Buffalo Mountain has a lot of energy from nature, no matter how much it is taken it will not affect its natural state, something bigger must have happened. If my teacher was still around, he would understand this best because he used to be the one who practiced internal energy the most and cause all the air around him was un-balanced”

“Yes, I’ve heard that from my father, that the great teacher Bao Yi was so incredible and became the leader of the martial world, that’s why Prince WuYi looked and practice with him”

“My master was very young when Prince WuYi came to practice, at that time he was about thirty-five years old, and since forty years ago for some reason, he entered the Cold cave, meditated and never came out after that, heh, did not want his mortal body to be corrupted by nature, and the cold cave is the center of all the energy of the Golden Buffalo Mountain, it is believed that anyone who cultivates there will attain sainthood much faster than usual, and Prince WuYi once practiced there, unfortunately, Prince WuYi’s ambition made him leave the valley and never come back”

“Heh, for this matter is over old man, now Prince WuYi nothing more than an old man enjoying his retirement, whatever ambitions he had in the past are all just history.”

Physician Ou nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, heh, unfortunately after my teacher left, in this Medicine Valley there are no more powerful people cultivates in the cold cave, now the cave is more useful as a place for treatment for the sick and wounded”

.....

In BaiYing’s room.

“It’s a bit sour, but delicious.”

YoTang thrust some small fruit into BaiYing’s hand, a small red fruit that was sweet and sour.

“Umm, it’s sour, Brother got it from the forest?”

YoTang nod, He came with a basket of freshly picked fruit, and it all look pleasant to the eyes, he had no appetite for a few days because of the treatment, but the sweet and fresh fruit slightly sour made him salivate.

YoTang couldn’t stop smiling.

“Hehehe, this is all for you, eat slowly.”

“Em brother, big brother will accompany Ying’er to the forest, right? Tomorrow is Ying’er’s last day in the cold cave, maybe after this Ying’er doesn’t need to bathe anymore, it feels very uncomfortable.”

“Well, brother, it can’t be helped, your condition is still not well, Brother heard from Guard Bei that if your energy is not reversed it will probably attack your internal organs, it’s so dangerous.”

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“Heh yeah, it’s all Ying’er’s fault for being so careless, cause everyone in troubles, even His Majesty has to put that sad face and depressed thinking about my condition, I’m such a lousy”

YoTang smiled.

“What are you talking about? How can this XiaoYing be so lousy? You are the great Viceroy WahYe who can subdue mystical dragons, how great is that? Brother don’t see which part of you being lousy”

BaiYing stared far out of the window, stuffing some sour cherries into his mouth.

“Heh, brother TangTang, since childhood Ying’er has always been a burden to everyone when Mother and Father were still around Ying’er didn’t realize that their harsh attitude was for the sake of Ying’er to be able to independent, they must have been so worried about Ying’er’s condition, just hit by the light wind and rain can cause me a high fever for couple days, and now, Ying’er also has to make His Highness the Crown Prince anxious, whereas, Ying’er only wants to become a strong person but turn out my strength become a backfires, all of this, if not because Ying’er being so lousy, then what?”

YoTang chuckled.

“Hehehe XiaoYing, esteemed Young Master Hua, these are all just your thoughts, who would have thought like that, okay, don’t think too much, these fruits are all picked for XiaoYing so you have to finish them all.”

BaiYing smiled widely until all of his eyes disappeared.

“Yes, brother!”
