CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE - Chapter 694 - 694 Did It End There?

694 Did It End There?

After killing King Wu Yi and Eunuch Sheng with the poison given by Su Lang, Bai Ying managed to go to the Priestess’ tower and set fire there, in an instant the tower was devoured by red flames all over the floors.

“Put the fire out! Quickly bring the water!” cried the young priests.

Everyone panicked and ran outside while not a few tried to get in to save whatever they could get out. Bai Ying used the gunpowder he took from the armory and poured it from the top floor to the lowest. He started a fire from downstairs that spread rapidly upwards. Burned all floors without exception. The black clothes he wore made it easy for him to go in and out without anyone suspecting him and make it easy for him to get in and set the fire and got out freely. From where he was standing now he still could see the white and gold cloth that was already worn out waving by the wind, slowly engulfing with the red fire and burning it without a trace, said to be the clothes of Shaman Shin Lei when he was hanged there to death until nothing was left but the sheets of his clothes caught in the chains.

“General Shin, Lord Shin Ya, Grandpa Po, Ying er, wronged you, please spare Ying er who can’t do anything to save you”

Bai Ying could see the beautiful smile that graced his beautiful Mother’s face as she combed his hair. The woman gently tucked Bai Ying’s long hair behind his ear with her gentle hands. Seeing the frowning face of the young man and couldn’t stop spoiling him.

“Hehe look at this, Mother’s son has become His Highness the Crown Prince’s concubine, why are you still so clingy like this?” San Niang’s very gentle voice. With a beautiful shining face like the evening sun. He is his mother. Bai Ying raised his arms and hugged his Mother’s waist.

“Mother, will you be angry, if, Ying er, prefers His Highness the Crown Prince over mother and father, and also, sister Yen er?”

San Niang stroked Bai Ying’s hair gently, and she smiled.

“Hey, why should I? Indeed, my little son has become someone else’s possession, what else can Mother and Father do? As long as you love each other, and trust each other, Mother will always support you. Sweet child, you, not only belong to Mother, but my little son also belongs to the world, do what you think you have to do, don’t hesitate to do it. Whatever it is, do it wholeheartedly. Mother will always support you, no matter what.”

…..

Bai Ying let go of his embrace. Seeing his mother’s face for a long time, somehow but he thought he would never meet her again. Somehow, he thought, his mother would leave him for good. This might be the last he would see her.

“Mother, Ying er, has grown up, you don’t have to worry too much about me, Ying er, will take care of everyone, as well as mother and father, old mother and Sister. Mother, you can rest in peace now, there is no need to worry about Ying er anymore, okay?”

San Niang smiled, she caressed Bai Ying’s hair and stroked his cheek. Smiling so wide that her beautiful eyes smiled with it. She nodded.

“Of course, my sweet child, Mother, can rest easy now, Mother’s child, you are all grown up, although you are still so spoiled,” San Niang said, pinching Bai Ying’s nose exasperatedly.

Bai Ying moaned.

“Mother, it’s hurt”

Bai Ying attempted to crawl. With his remaining strength, he tried to crawl away from the Crown Prince who was already behind him.

“Ah”

Luo Xiang managed to get close to him, turning Bai Ying’s body towards him.

“Let go of me!”

“Ying er, let’s go home okay?”

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince away from him, he fell onto the muddy ground which instantly made his face and clothes dirty. The rain didn’t stop, even the lightning was striking louder and louder here and there as if it was so close to those who were now on the hill.

“Let me go, don’t touch me, Your Highness is not Brother Xiang Xiang I know anymore, I don’t know who Your Highness really is!” exclaimed Bai Ying looking at Luo Xiang while holding back sobs that he couldn’t hold back.

“Why Your Highness, why did Your Highness do it? Why?” he grabbed his chest, it hurt uncontrollably, it hurt so much that make him so difficult to breathe.

Luo Xiang was about to hold Bai Ying’s shoulder again but the young man brushed it off and pushed him until he fell to the ground.

“Your Majesty is evil. Why did you kill everyone? Why did you make my brother suffer like that? Why? Before Ying er dies, at least tell me why you did it?” Bai Ying exclaimed. He couldn’t take it anymore, fresh blood started to come out of his mouth, soon he too would die, this, was very sad.

Luo Xing held Bai Ying’s shoulder, looking into his eyes.

“All because of my love for you, everything I did for you, didn’t you know that? Because I don’t want to be away from you, I won’t let you be cooped up in this palace anymore and become a puppet for that stupid King. And your Brother doesn’t care about that at all, he doesn’t care if you’re happy or not, as long as you’re not going anywhere”

Bai Ying tried to push the Crown Prince’s hand away again, but he couldn’t, his strength had already run out, and his breathing started to draw out.

“That’s not true, Brother loves me very much, he will do anything for my happiness. How can it be called love, Your Highness killed them because of your ego, that is not love!”

Luo Xiang shooked Bai Ying’s shoulder.

“That’s love, brother did it for you, for my love. Ying er look at my eyes, brother loves you more than anything, please believe me, okay?”

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying who was already weak. Caressing Bai Ying’s cheek and wiping away the blood dripping from his lips.

“Ying er, don’t leave me, hang on there, I will bring you home, Du Gu San definitely has an antidote for the poison, please hang on”

Luo Xiang was about to lift Bai Ying’s limp body when Bai Ying’s hand held him down. Look at him with sharp eyes. The heavy rain poured nonstop. The lighting strikes here and there with loud bangs that make ears numb, but Bai Ying can’t hear all of that, his eyes, his ear, and his heart are all shut with deep pain.

“Y-Your Majesty, let me die here, S-servant, don’t want to go back to the palace, with Your Highness, I better die here” he tried to push the Crown Prince but his strength was running out, he couldn’t even raise his hand. Is he really going to die there? Very pathetically? What about his promise to the Crown Prince who will accompany him until he is old and wrinkled? Does all this have to end now? Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince’s face that was holding back tears, a face that he missed so much, too dear to leave. Even now, that feeling of love somehow turned into hate, how could his great love just disappear? This might be better, it would be better if he died right there and at that moment, all his heartache would also be gone, right?

Just as his strength was almost exhausted, Bai Ying widened his eyes. Drawn the Crown Prince’s longsword hanging from his waist and backed away.

“Ying er!” The Crown Prince widened his eyes. Didn’t expect that Bai Ying would take his sword and now stood on the edge of a cliff while pointing the sharp part of the sword against his neck.

“Do not come closer!” cried Bai Ying who was teetering trying to stand up straight. His breath was panting, no matter how he would not want to return to the palace with the Crown Prince, he would rather die.

Luo Xiang spread his arms preventing the soldiers from getting close. Bai Ying was too close to the cliff, and he might accidentally fall because the ground was so slippery.

“Ying er, don’t go there, please come back here, don’t do that, forgive me if I made you angry. I promised I won’t do that again, please give me a chance okay, come, come here Ying er, reach my hand”

Bai Ying raised his head to look up at the completely black sky. Full of drops of water falling from dark clouds far above the sky. He smiled.

“Brother, Ying er, will go first, don’t forget to look for Ying er later, don’t keep me alone there, Brother, please promise me.” Bai Ying was about to twist the hilt of the sword to slash his own neck when suddenly a very loud voice bang, so loud in his ears made him stop his movements.

“Stupid brat! Wake up!”
