689 Don’t Touch Me

Bai Ying tried to push the Crown Prince’s hand free, but his efforts were in vain.

“Your Highness, let me go, I beg you not to do this, let them go, I promise not to come here anymore, Your Highness, don’t do this, please let them go!”

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying who couldn’t stop struggling. In a very fast movement, he punched the blood path on his neck which made the young man immediately slump in his arms.

Bai Ying finally fell unconscious, at the last moment he could still see Xi er’s face from behind the temple door which was already burning with fierce fire, the kid’s eyes, looked at him sadly before Bai Ying closed his eyes tightly.

“Xi er”

....

The sun is shining bright. Sharp piercing right to the eyes. Bai Ying opened his eyes slowly. Remembering what he saw before he closed his eyes at last time.

“Please don’t do this!”

The screams of the children who were locked in the temple and burned alive.

.....

“No, Guard Bei!” when he struggled to get close to Bei Yau who was dragged into the building.

“Guard Bei!”

And his brother’s pent-up cries and screams in the two soldiers’ hands.

“Ump!”

Bai Ying’s tears fell onto the pillow. He turned his body looking at the sky outside from his window. His heart ached, he wished it was a dream, was it a dream? But no, it’s reality.

The sound of a door being opened could be heard from outside.

“Your Majesty”

The maid welcomed the Crown Prince who entered the room and stepped slowly towards the bed.

“You all can go now”

“Yes, Your Majesty” after that the sound of the door being opened and closed again.

Bai Ying did not turn around. The Crown Prince sitting on the edge of his bed. There was a sound of deep sighs before he touched Bai Ying’s shoulder.



“Ying er”

Bai Ying slid his hand away from the Crown Prince’s grip.

“Your Highness, why don’t you just kill me as well, why did you let me live,” Bai Ying said with slightly trembling lips.

“Ying er, you know that is impossible, you are my concubine, the great Crown Prince of Wah Ye, one day you will become the King here.”

Bai Ying held his breath, his chest was so tight that it was difficult for him to speak or even to breathe.

“Heh, Concubine? Does Your Majesty still consider this servant to be Your concubine? Or the Crown Prince? Your Highness never listens when I beg you to release Guard Bei and those poor children, what does Servant mean in your eyes? Nothing, did I?”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath.



“Heh, you know I can’t do anything about Bei Yau and those kids, everything is the will of the palace, the will of your Grandfather the King. Bei Yau had broken the rules by defending the child who stole the palace carriage and was expelled from the palace. He openly goes against the rules of the palace and gathers all the children of the would-be rebels there. The king decided to punish him and forgave him, but who would have guessed that he would do it again, and this time he even kidnap and lock you up there”

Bai Ying raised his head, looking at the Crown Prince with sharp eyes. Pulling his body up and away from the Crown Prince, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Your Majesty, how are those poor little children potential rebels? They were still so young, they were no more than fifteen years old. They are just trying to survive, in times of hunger they are forced to steal food. Is it a sin so great that they have to die in such a miserable way?”

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying for a long time and tried to hold his hand but Bai Ying shook him off and backed away until there was no more room for him on the bed.

“Don’t touch me! Servant, I will kill myself if Your Majesty touches me again” said Bai Ying with his eyes big.

Luo Xiang widened his eyes, Bai Ying looked so angry with him, he didn’t even want to look into his eyes. He turned his face away from him.

“Ying er”

“Please, leave me alone, never come again. Your Highness is no longer the Crown Prince, Brother Xiang Xiang that I know all this time. I don’t even know who you really are, how could you…” Bai Ying caught his breath before continuing. He held his chest, clutching his clothes.

“Hoh, how, could, Your Highness who I know so kind and gentle, change, become like this?” he looked at the Crown Prince’s eyes who were looking at him with sad eyes. The young man tried to hold Bai Ying’s hand back but again he shook off his grip.

“Ying er, you know big brother has no power here, this is not Yue Yang palace, everything that happens here is the will of His Highness the Great King, you know that”

Bai Ying glared at him, his red eyes full of tears still glaring at Luo Xiang.

“In that case, Your Highness just return to Your Highness’ place, just go back there and live as the Crown Prince of Yue Yang the Great in peace, forget that Your Highness had anything to do with Wah Ye before, even with Ying er, that is what Your Highness wished for, right? Kick me out of your life, forever?”

Luo Xiang’s eyes widened.

“Ying er what did you say?”

Bai Ying struggled when the Crown Prince held his shoulder. He even threw his head pillow at Luo Xiang and shooed him away.

“Get out of here! Leave me alone, get out!” he shouted so loudly that his voice could be heard outside the room.

“Ying er!”

“Go out!” Bai Ying, who could no longer hold back his heartache, gave vent to his screams as loud as he could, and rebelled no matter what, even though it would hurt him. Avoiding the Crown Prince’s touch felt extremely disgusting.

“Let me go! Don’t touch me!!”

“Ying er!”

...

It didn’t take long. Still in Bai Ying’s room.

Don’t know what the Physician gave him, but Bai Ying was now lying weaker on his bed. His eyes kept on shedding tears that didn’t stop thinking about the pain in his heart that never went away.

“Huks, Brother”

Yan and Bi serve him. The maids went in and out of the room bringing food or wet cloth to wash Bai Ying, while he was so weak and couldn’t even enjoy the bath he loved so much. All now, it means nothing anymore.

Yan sat on the edge of the bed. Taking a clean cloth and slowly wiping the tears from Bai Ying’s cheeks.

“Your Highness, please pardon me, but, Your Highness must not keep crying, Your Highness’ health condition will worsen.”

Bai Ying’s eyes were blank, what else could he do, even killing himself look so impossible now. He must think calmly. Calm down and get out of there no matter what, at least, look for his brother Chen Ming who is rumored to be a prisoner of the palace. Due to his status as a Prince, he would not be executed no matter what wrong he did, but Bai Ying was horrified to think what King Wu Yi would do to him. He knew how heartless and cruel his grandfather was. Who doesn’t even hesitate to kill his family members for power, so, what difference does it make with one more Little Prince for him to kill?

Bai Ying closed his eyes. He was very tired, and his mind just mixed up with lots of sadness, just hoping when he woke up he can think more clearly and carry out his next plan. He’ll just sleep for now.

The night deepens. The atmosphere of the Wah Ye palace complex was so calm that there was not a single sound around the Plum villa area.

Someone was seen hiding behind a pillar, dressed in dark clothes so no one would see him as he hid in the dark. It is Bai Ying, who was wearing a black robe that covered his head. He looked around and quickly moved from one tree to another when the guards weren’t looking.

He managed to get out of his room, fortunately, he succeeded even though he almost failed. As the guards looked the other way, Bai Ying approached the wall and climbed it easily, it was not the first time he had climbed out of the palace.

Previously in his room.

Bai Ying closed his eyes. Actually, he was already awake but kept his eyes closed so the people around him wouldn’t know that. The voice of the Crown Prince came in.

“How’s he doing?” asked Luo Xiang.

It seemed that the old healer, Du Gu San, who was the chief advisor of the palace had also come in with him. He had just finished checking on Bai Ying.

Du Gu San lowered his head to pay respect to the Crown Prince before answering him.

“Report, Your Highness, His Highness the young Prince’s current condition is very weak. His pulse is irregular and his heart rate is unstable. This is reasonable considering His Majesty’s current mental state,” replied the old man with all of the white gray hair.
