Chapter 57: Important Guest’s

When Concubine Lui was about to approach BaiYing, another unexpected person appeared from the door.

“How presumptuous! What are you doing here?” BeiYau who came with some guards with him, Bei’s eyes widened wide when he saw BaiYing who fell down on the ground of exhaustion, the back of his shirt was slightly torn with whip marks.

BeiYau glared at the guards who were holding whips.

“You want to die!” he exclaimed angrily, the guards lowered their bodies to their knees in unison.

“Forgive us, sir!”

BeiYau glanced at Concubine LuiFan who didn’t move in her place.

Concubine LuiFan sat back in her chair, calmly enjoying her tea, while Tu helped BaiYing and the two little servants get up.

.....

“Your Majesty, are you all right?” Tu asked, BaiYing shook his head, even though it so hurts like hell, but he will try to endure it.

“Ekh, it hurts a little”

BeiYau lowered his head in front of Lui’s concubine.

“Your Majesty, Concubine Lui, this matter is very serious, you shouldn’t ask the prison guards to bring the prisoner to your residence, something untoward could happen like the prisoner running away, or you could even become a victim, Your Highness the Crown Prince will not like this. ”

Fan’er knows he can’t run away anymore, BeiYau’s eyes that glanced at her make her swallow her saliva, as the Crown Prince’s personal bodyguard Bei has the second command after the Crown Prince there, and at this time, there is no way any guards dare to fight the word -he said.

BaiYing groaned, his back hurt like crazy, owh his smooth back, how can he be this unlucky?

But, seeing his maids faces who were in pain and had no other choice than to endure it, he became embarrassed, the two little girls were smaller and weaker than him, but they looked so strong, even with all the torture they both tried to be strong and just cried because they were scared, they just endure the pain, they are not bad people, let alone people who have the heart to hurt him, and BaiYing really trust them.

........

At the Imperial Palace.

That afternoon, after the official palace ceremony, the Emperor, entertained his important guests to have a meal together, of course, LuoXiang as the Crown Prince was also present.

The laughter continued, as the Emperor entertained his guest that afternoon who was none other than his close friend of the former Prime Minister who had retired due to his age, YueWang, the former prime minister who is now in his eighty, has no children either because of his health condition or other reasons.

He was one of the prime ministers who served since the previous Emperor before LuoPai, so he had served two generations and could not continue his position due to his age and health condition, he had retired and lived outside the city in his former residence, but in the end, the Emperor decided to again asked the old man to be a Special Advisor because of his experience and the old man’s desire to return to work, apparently being an old man who did not have a job made him depressed, the old man whose hair almost turned white, came along with his personal bodyguard and personal advisor, a slightly old man with a round build, all parts of his body from his face downwards, he was the Eunuch Sheng, the eunuch who had followed the Prime Minister so faithfully since he was young.

LuoXiang sighed, he was so bored and for some reason, he always turned his head towards his palace, he missed YingYing so much.

The voice of chatter and laughter of the Emperor and his new adviser did not interest him at all, why did he need to care about that person? that senile emperor, just wasting his precious time.

“Hahahaha, oh yeah, Your Majesty, I heard the rumors about His Majesty the Crown Prince leaving the palace yesterday, em, because an incident outside the palace is quite shocking to everyone, this, it is very rare.” YueWang stroked his beard, and the Emperor nodded.

“Yeah, well, Xiang’er is indeed a tough guy, he can protect himself so I’m not worried about him, unfortunate incident, Old man Yue must have heard about the massacre of a Hua family who lived on the border of Sanpo and ChangSan cities, which are the family of one of the Crown Prince’s concubines, so now that case is still a concern for him”

YueWang nodded.

“Oh yeah, poor kid, I heard that one family including their daughter were all killed?”

YueWang’s words made LuoXiang raise his head, bad, does that person know what really happened? Even though he had ordered his men to change the name on the HuaBaiYen headstone to HuaBaiYing.

The emperor frowned.

“Em old man Yue must be wrong, old man Hua only has a daughter and son, his daughter is in this palace, and unfortunately the victim is his son.”

YueWang raised his eyebrows.

“Oh really? Forgive me for hearing the wrong news then.”

The two of them laughed again.

“Hehehehe please enjoy the wine old man Yue, tomorrow maybe you won’t have time to enjoy it again because of our busy lives.” The emperor raised his cup of toast with YueWang, the old man chuckled.

“Heheheh, Your Majesty is right, let me give a toast to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty always live a long life.”

Laughter came back, two strange people, LuoXiang thought, had been talking a little and just laughing, what exactly on the senile Emperor mind when he brings other senile people to the palace, he is very old, maybe soon he will blend into the ground, isn’t he afraid that his senile mind will actually cause problems for the palace?

Actually, he didn’t really agree with his father’s suggestion when he said he would bring that person back after Luo Xiang knew a little about how that person was doing, but his father thought it was okay to think of YueWang as an old close friend, did he really think this palace was a nursing home? Aren’t all officials over seventy already given pension payments and dismissed with respect?

LuoXiang glanced at the stocky man who sat not far beside YueWang, a man in his fifties who had been known to be YueWang’s personal adviser for some time, that person had followed him so faithfully, the man raised his cup toast from afar after saluting him, LuoXiang’s eyes wide, the ring, the ring that coiled around eunuch Sheng’s pinkie, the ring with the head of a red eyes snake.

But, could it be that person? Even though that person looked very smart but had no special interest in making BaiYing’s life suffer, however, anyone could be suspected at this time, and that man, according to the traits YiFang told him, was big round, not too tall. Insolent! cursed LuoXiang, it turned out that that person was openly challenging him, his eyes sharp as if to say he was not afraid, LuoXiang grabbed his teacup, but, did he have any proof that it was eunuch Sheng? Just based on the words of a death row inmate who killed the Hua family with his gang, he didn’t have any evidence at this time.
