CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE-Chapter 644 - 644 It Was
644 It Was
“His Highness the Great King, Yen Hui, must have left everything in the Memory coin on Your Highness’s neck, even if he didn’t hold it while confined in the palace, but Yen Hui created the three coins, he can use them without touching them, even from a distance.”
Bai Ying swallowed hard, all of his family’s secrets being so close to him, without him knowing it. He touched the memory coin that hung around his neck all the time.
“Memory Coin?”
.......
The night wind blows cold.
Bringing Bai Ying’s long rope flew far behind him. He stood on the edge of a cliff which was his favourite place while he is in Xin Hua. The view of Pai Hua City and its valley is very clear, not to mention the boundless dense of the Cloud forest.
Everything that had happened so far replayed in Bai Ying’s head. About how his childhood was when he almost died, and how his biological mother, as well as the Crown Prince’s, was killed on the same day, by the people who turned out to be his great-grandfather’s men, a family he never imagined he could have.
After that they met again with the Crown Prince, living a very extraordinary life with all the trials and obstacles so heavy that finally brought them to this day.
Prince Li Hua’s words made him realize that he was indeed the successor of Yen Hui, the Great King of Xin Hua, which meant that the destiny he had with the Crown Prince was to collide with each other. Same as what King Yen Hui had.

So, does that mean history will repeat itself? If he and the Crown Prince, wouldn’t be able to be together in the end? Like King Yen Hui and His Imperial Highness Luo Wang?
The wind was blowing hard, its roar could be heard clearly from the highest place in the Pai Hua valley and its surroundings. A special place for the Viceroy whenever he wanted to think hard or just daydream.
The Crown Prince approached from behind and put an arm on his shoulder.
“My love, what do you have on your mind? It’s already late, we should go back to our room and rest” Luo Xiang whispered.
Bai Ying held his breath for a moment, letting it out heavily.
“Heh, Your Highness” he held the Memory Coin hanging around his neck.
Luo Xiang wrapped his arms around Bai Ying’s waist hugging him from behind, resting his chin on the youth’s shoulder.
“Is Ying Ying worried about what you found in the Memory coins? In reality, what made the Grand Father Emperor attack Wah Ye and force the Great King Yen Hui to sink his palace to prevent further destruction? Did Ying Ying afraid, that fact would make Ying Ying’s mind about Yue Yang Palace change?”
The Crown Prince’s words were exactly what was in Bai Ying’s heart right now. He held the beautifully sized gold coin staring at it for a long time.
“That, what if it’s true that His Majesty Emperor Luo Wang forced Grandfather to jump into the abyss that caused all the chaos until now? Great-grandmother lost her family, many Wah Ye citizens living in endless misery, Grandfather Wu Yi, the Blackwater clan, and all the bad things that happened to them during this time. Even my whole family massacre. All of that happened because Emperor Luo Wang forced King Yen Hui so he had no other choice”
Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s sad face. Lifting his hand caressing the young man’s cheek, and turning Bai Ying’s shoulder gently to face him, he smiled.
“Hey, then, what can we do? Ying Ying couldn’t turn back time, after all, it had happened. The previous Emperor Yue Yang was known to be ambitious and dictatorial, even so, he did everything for his people. And, if it’s true what Prince Li said that Emperor Luo Wang forced his way out of love with Great King Yen Hui, that, too, is not something we can control. And, all of that has passed a very long time ago. Everything is in the past, Ying Ying wouldn’t think it could affect our relationship right?” he asked.
Bai Ying saw Luo Xiang’s smiling eyes trying to calm him down. He raised his hand to caress the young man’s cheek.
“Your Highness, in the future, will Your Highness also do that? Forcing the will when Ying er doesn’t want to come with Your Highness to live in Yue Yang palace?” he asked.
Luo Xiang was speechless. Long looked at Bai Ying’s pair of deep-looking eyes. He stroked his cheek.
“I don’t know what brother will do when Ying Ying refuses to come with me to live in the palace, but one thing is clear, brother will never let you go. Love, indeed sometimes it can be very scary Ying, I think, it’s not as easy as what anyone says even Prince Li Hua though.”
Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s body into his arms, stroking his hair.
“Sweet child, don’t think too much, just believe that our future will not be like what happened to our predecessors. Believe that after what happened, no one will be able to separate us no matter how big the problem is.”
Bai Ying raised his hand to hug the Crown Prince’s thick body.
“Your Majesty, don’t leave Ying er, no matter what happens, never let go of my hand, you must swear.”
Luo Xiang smiled, he stroked Bai Ying’s hair and nodded.
“Of course my dear, I will never let go of your hand, until whenever it is. I swear”
...….
Cleck.
The door was opened from the outside. Yan and Bi quickly headed to the bed ahead of the Crown Prince who was carrying Bai Ying on his back. Due to tiredness, the young man fell into a deep sleep all the way down the hill.
“Your Highness”
Yan and Bi made small noises as they stepped back after preparing the bed for Bai Ying. Slowly, very carefully Luo Xiang lowered the young man’s body onto the bed. He slowly released his hands that were still wrapped around his neck so as not to wake him up.
Crown Prince smiled. Even though this Viceroy and Realm King was still a young boy who had just grown up, everything that happened so fast forced him to grow up very fast.
“Heh, sweet child” Luo Xiang whispered caressing Bai Ying’s forehead and kissing him.
“Chup”
He then put Bai Ying’s hand to his side, turned to the maids Bai Ying standing behind him.
“Get me hot water for rinsing, let me just wash him tonight”
Yan and Bi nodded together.
“Ready Your Highness”
After all the maids came out of the room, Luo Xiang started to take off Bai Ying’s top carefully.
“Your Highness, don’t leave Ying er” Bai Ying was delirious, holding Luo Xiang’s hand who was just about to undress him, turned around and hugged him.
“Sweet child, what makes you in trouble and worries you so much? How could brother leave you? Just sleep, my dear.” Luo Xiang whispered and kissed Bai Ying’s forehead again.
...…
Xiao Hong followed Chen Ming to his room. Chen Ming stopped in front of his bed and saw Xiao Hong sharply.
“What are you waiting for? Just go back to your room, tonight I want to sleep alone”
Xiao Hong stuttered, from the look in Chen Ming’s eyes it seemed that he was angry with him.
“Eh, what do you mean, Prince?”
Xiao Hong looked around, glanced at the maids and asked them to leave.
Chen Ming let go of Xiao Hong’s hand and headed to his bed, sitting down with an annoyed face.
“What else, don’t you understand human language anymore, Hong? I want to sleep alone tonight”
Xiao Hong came closer and was about to hold Chen Ming’s hand but he pulled it away in a hurry.
“Prince, um, what did I do wrong now? Why does the Prince seem angry? We usually sleep together, and Prince, it will be cold tonight, I will warm you with my fire, as usual”
Chen Ming looked at Xiao Hong sharply.
“No need, I want to be alone, tonight is not so cold, with a blanket is enough, go back to your room, I’m not in the mood to argue tonight”
Xiao Hong stuttered, he was about to grab Chen Ming’s hand but the young prince quickly turned his back on him, waiting for the bird to leave. But Xiao Hong still sat where he was with a dumb face.
“Then, what are you waiting for? Get out of my room quickly, I’m going to sleep” Chen Ming said looking back at Xiao Hong, who inevitably got up from his seat and very unwillingly walked towards the door. The young bird scratched its head.
“Um, what have I done?” he grumbled as he walked towards the door where two maids opened the door for him.
Chen Ming pulled his lips together in annoyance, took off his shoes and lifted his two feet onto the bed.
“Stupid bird” was still grumbling as he pulled the blanket over his body.
