Chapter 159

159 The Black Pill

Lan’er took some containers with food out from the basket, placing them on the table.

“Here, there are pickles, fruit, cakes from downtown, my servant went to buy my order and bought all of this, all are Ying’s favorite”

BaiYing’s eyes widened, it’s all his favorites.

“Whoa it looks delicious, Ying’er wants this, that too ” without hesitation BaiYing put the food in his mouth and took another one while it’s full.

“Umm”

FuLan refrained from laughing, the boy who really likes to eat, she took the teacup on the table and offered it in front of his bloating mouth.

“Ying’er don’t eat too fast, drink this first, this kid really”

BaiYing smiled with a mouth that swelled like a pufferfish.

“Hehehehe”

.....

AYa approached to see what FuLan brought that morning, while ChenMing didn’t seem to want to know much about that people’s affairs and just enjoyed the tea, though his eyes couldn’t stop looking at BaiYing who immediately finished his tea without the slightest suspicion, it is true that the Black pill is famous for its oddity, the very black color, will dissolve in the water and adapt whatever the color is.

“It’s delicious”

AYa nodded her head after trying some cakes.

“Well, not bad”

FuLan glanced at ChenMing.

“Does young master Chen want to try it?” she offered, ChenMing just raised his hand, without saying a word.

“Well, if you don’t want to”

FuLan poked AYa’s arm and glanced at the young master, who knew what the Crown Prince was thinking about when he invited him into the palace, the boy who didn’t even want to hang out with anyone, why take him there anyway?

“What is that person doing by only sitting there and doing nothing?” FuLan whispered.

Best

AYa also thought it was very strange, but if he was malicious he must have done something when he was alone with BaiYing, so far, nothing has happened.

“Don’t know”

.........

By nightfall,

BaiYing had returned to his pavilion, for some reason he felt very tired, his head heavy and his vision getting blurred, he arrived just in time on his bed and dropped his body immediately.

“Hoaa Ying’er is so tired”

Yan and Bi who helped BaiYing in looked at each other, seeing how the young man immediately fell asleep.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not taken a bath,” said Yan.

“Hoh sister, Ying’er is very tired, let Ying’er close my eyes for a while, I’ll take my bath later”

“But Your Majesty, oh Yan, how can it be like this? What did His Majesty drink? ” Bi asked, Yan shrugged.

“Nothing weird, regular tea and snacks brought by Concubine Fu, it’s not so much”

“Your Majesty” but Bi anxiously, looking at BaiYing who fell asleep.

“I’ll get water to wash, maybe He just tired, help me prepare the hot water, who knows later His Majesty will wake up and take a bath”

After they left the room, someone appeared from behind the door and settled in, ChenMing who approached carefully sat on the edge of the bed of the young man who was fast asleep as if he would not wake up even if a loud voice called him, seeing a pair of young man’s eyes closed tightly, ChenMing pulled his lips as if grinning.

“Heh, very interesting” ChenMing pulled something out of his shoes, a small knife no longer than his palm, and lowered the young man’s sleeves.

“Do you know, if your blood is so important” ChenMing was about to scratch BaiYing’s skin with the sharp part of his knife when he heard a voice from outside the room.

“His Majesty the Crown Prince has arrived!” exclaimed the doorman.

ChenMing’s eyes widened, it’s bad, he could get caught, as soon as the young man put back the knife back in his shoe and stood up when the door opened from the outside.

“Kreekk”

The Crown Prince stood silently in his place, frowning at the young man and what was he doing in his concubine’s room.

“Insolent!” Without waiting LuoXiang approached ChenMing and pulled him away from the bed, his eyes glaring at the young man, realizing the young man was alone in the room where BaiYing was asleep.

“What are you doing in my concubine’s room? Insolent!”

Brukkk!

Pushed the young man hard to the wall, then turned towards the bed.

“YingYing” he exclaimed, it was very unusual for BaiYing to fall asleep at such an hour, it wasn’t that late, moreover, he hasn’t enjoyed his warm bath, very strange, anxiously LuoXiang patted the young man’s cheek trying to wake him up.

“YingYing”

Oh No! thought ChenMing, he must run away immediately, with the Black pill, it will take a day and night until he wakes up, although it has no harmful effects if the Crown Prince realizes his concubine can not wake up ChenMing can lose his head, he settled towards the door but BeiYau blocked his way.

“Young master Chen, where do you think you are going?”

LuoXiang anxious, lifted BaiYing’s body which was limp in his hands.

“YingYing! This kid, what happened to him? ” exclaimed the Crown Prince to stared at the maids with big eyes, Yan and Bi who were nervous and immediately lowered their bodies to their knees.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty’s Concubine Hua had been practicing all day in the Peony field, and when he came back he fell asleep immediately”

LuoXiang looked at ChenMing who was already beside BeiYau, was that boy who made BaiYing like this? Unable to control his anger LuoXiang approached ChenMing and with his wide palms held the young man’s slender neck tightly.

“Ekh Y-Your Majesty”

“What are you doing? Is this part of your plan? What did you give to YingYing? ” his loud voice. ChenMing tried to break free from LuoXiang’s big hand which slightly lifted his body with his hand strangling his neck, he almost ran out of breath.

“What do you mean, Y-Your Majesty?”

The Crown Prince couldn’t help himself, he looked at BaiYing’s maids.

“What else you’ve been waiting for! Hurry call physician!” LuoXiang’s shout, LuoXiang’s loud voice made everyone tremble including Yan and Bi who jerked almost jumped in shock.

“Y-Yes Your Majesty”

But, when the servants have not even left the room yet...

“Hoaa, what’s the fuss” when everybody heard a voice from the bed, BaiYing who slowly opened his eyes because of the commotion in his room, LuoXiang who saw BaiYing was fine immediately released his grip on ChenMing’s neck, pushed the young man towards BeiYau and rushed closer to BaiYing.

“YingYing! Are you okay?”

BaiYing got up leaning on his two hands behind his body, his eyes were still glazed because he was so sleepy looking at LuoXiang’s anxious face, he was just about to say something when LuoXiang suddenly pulled him into his arms.

“Oh Your Majesty”

LuoXiang almost went crazy, he could be really crazy because he felt BaiYing’s body was cold and didn’t move earlier, but, the boy was really just asleep, he’s caressing BaiYing’s hair.

“This kid, you’re really making people scared to death”

BaiYing was still confused about what happened, although he felt very tired, he was so sleepy that he put his head on LuoXiang’s shoulder and could hardly hold back his sleep.

“Hoaa I’m so sleepy, Your Majesty, let me sleep like this”

LuoXiang nodded.

“Of course, just back to sleep”

BeiYau waved his hand to ask all the servants to come out when of course the Crown Prince did not want anyone to disturb him now, the young guard grabbed ChenMing’s hand and escort him out, the young man still holding on his neck which was a little red because of the Crown Prince’s grip, he saw BaiYing strangely, how is that possible? The Black Pill is very powerful, and Concubine Hua is not a person who has inner power or anything, even a warrior can fall because of this pill, did he get a fake pill?

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s shoulder until the young man fell asleep again, when the sound of his breathing was very calm and soundly asleep, gently LuoXiang lowered BaiYing’s body to lie down, straightened his front hair, stroked his cheek.

“Heh this kid, what makes you so tired like this, it’s very unusual”

For a while, LuoXiang looked at BaiYing’s soft face, looking at him deeply and smiled, he’s never getting tired of it, kept looking at the young man delicate face, very safely asleep next to him without the slightest danger threatening him, and he wish the time would stop, just for a moment so that he could admire YingYing’s face longer.

“Heh YingYing” gently stroked the young man’s bangs, lowered his head to kiss his forehead.

“Chup”

Slowly LuoXiang straightened his seat, unbuckled BaiYing’s belt so that he could take off his outer clothes, it must be very uncomfortable to sleep in these thick and patterned clothes, this will make his movements disturbed.

...

The next day.

The Crown Prince was sitting behind his desk where CiaoTi again brought a lot of documents for him to check, from security reports, food reports, to the issue of monthly budget distribution from the state to each province around YueYang, all the minister’s routine daily reports, which he had to do to support his father’s enormous work.

LuoXiang was still wondering how BaiYing’s condition was last night.

Physician Wan lowered his head after checking his condition,

“Report Your Majesty, It has no problem with Your Majesty’s concubine Hua’s health, so far He was just very tired”

LuoXiang put BaiYing’s hand behind the blanket, seeing the calm face of the young man who was fast asleep in front of him.

.....

“This was very strange, physician, YingYing has never been like this before, he is a kid full of energy”

And not long after physician Wan excused himself, ShinYa approached, the young man paid his respects in front of the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty”

“Mr. Shin”

ShinYa looked at BaiYing’s face for a moment.

“This, a bit strange Your Majesty, for a moment, the color of the aura of the Young Prince had changed, Orange is the main color of the aura because that color is a collection of all colors combined into one, and for a moment, a light blue aura dominated it, but, only a moment then it’s back to normal ”

LuoXiang frowned.

“Light blue? Is that aura not good for him? ”

ShinYa lowered his head back.

“On the other hand, Your Majesty, the Orange aura is a symbol of wisdom and balanced inner strength, while the Light blue is a symbol of calm but very strong strength, usually this color will appear on hermits who have practiced their inner science, for hundreds of years, but, it’s very difficult to find the perfect bright blue aura as I just saw it ”

LuoXiang saw the face of the young man who was fast asleep in front of him.

“But, is it possible Mr. Shin? YingYing doesn’t have inner energy or anything, let alone has energy for hundreds of years,”

ShinYa stroked his chin, he also thought hard.

“Hem, this, I’ll check on my grandfather’s notes, I’m afraid I might miss something”

LuoXiang raised his head, just saw the young shaman ShinYa enter, and lowered his head to pay his respects.

“Regards, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, may Your Majesty always be healthy and happy”

LuoXiang waved his hand, glancing at the chair not far from him.

“Please sit down Mr. Shin, we have a lot of work today”

ShinYa lowered his head back, seeing a huge pile of work today more than usual.

“Yes, Your Majesty”
