"Eh, you are?"
The stocky man approached after catching his breath.
"Insolent, pay your respects to His Highness LuoYan, His Highness Honorable Second Prince" exclaimed the man.
BaiYing glanced at the young man, that man's face has a little bit similar to the Crown Prince. He turned out to be the Crown Prince's elder brother, Second Prince LuoYan, BaiYing painstakingly tried to stand up to greets.
"Pardon me for not recognizing Your Highness Prince" BaiYing was about to kneel down but LuoYan's hand held him back.
"Be careful you look unwell don't push yourself, and you, what's your name, pretty?"
BaiYing raised his head, he entered the palace with his sister's identity, of course, everyone except the Crown Prince knew him by that name.
"Servant is HuaBaiYen, daughter of HuaLie, what an honored to meet the second prince here"
LuoYan smiled, he could not take his eyes off the extraordinary beauty in front of him even a little. A very soothing sight when he saw him without feeling bored, he again grabbed BaiYing's hand and kissed it. BaiYing widened his eyes. That pervert, is he more perverted or is the Crown Prince does? The fruit grew with the same taste after falling from the same tree.
"What a beautiful name, it suits your beautiful face, BaiYen. Hmh my brother is so lucky, where can he get a very pretty girl like this? Why not just give it to me"
For a brief knowledge.
LuoYan, The second prince is a young man who really adores beautiful women. Any beautiful things will not escape from his sight, if he wants something nothing can ever stop him. He has several concubines because of his mother's request but on the other hand, he still has many most beautiful women from all over the country who's willing to be his mistress just to accompany him for one night stand and leave them after that.
But, seeing the beautiful girl in front of him now made his heart beat faster than usual, his eyes sparks as if he had found the shiniest diamond among hundreds of them. His heart urged him to take this beautiful girl back to his room to enjoy her slowly tonight, really couldn't bear to imagine it.
BaiYing stuttered as the prince's hand grabbed his palms, lifted, and kissed him. His eyes glancing playfully at BaiYing's with a wide smile from ear to ear.
"It smells good, Xiang'er is very lucky."
BaiYing could not refuse, he couldn't help but want to pull his hand but as far as he knew the Second Prince was not like LuoXiang, he might be offended.
"Y-Your Majesty"
But for a moment that person held his hand and still won't let go. No, he could not do that, even though he was only a fake concubine but he should not make a bad name on his behalf because he is the Crown Prince concubine's. People will look badly on him and tarnished the great name of the Crown Prince. BaiYing took his hand off and get up from his seat, he had to go back to his room.
"Eh, f-forgive me, I have to come back"
BaiYing hurried from his seat but again his head hurt so bad, a sudden chill filled his entire body from the legs spreading to his whole body, he could not move and could only stagger backward. LuoYan who's startled seeing him was ready to catch his body until someone precede him.
"ahh"
BaiYing's eyes still could take a short glimpse of the person, who was now holding his back from falling, a pair of pretty eyes he knew so well before he was unconscious.
"YingYing"
LuoXiang arrived just in time to catch BaiYing's limp body that was now unconscious, he patted BaiYing's cheek.
"YingYing, YingYing, this brat"
LuoXiang glanced at LuoYan sharply, asked the person to remove his hand from BaiYing's back.
"Brothers, I can hold him myself, please take your hand off my YingYing"
LuoYan smiled, he had never seen LuoXiang's eyes like this before and now his little brother's eyes were glaring at him. LuoYan pulled his hand back.
"Em, my little brother how can you let your beautiful concubine here alone by herself? She almost fell into the lake"
LuoXiang glanced at LuoYan, didn't know how his brother could've been there without warning, and he did not care about that now. He just didn't like his brother's hands who already famous for being playboy hold BaiYing at his will, whatever the reason is, he doesn't like him at all.
With two big hands, LuoXiang lowered his knees slightly and carried up BaiYing, and moved away from his brother.
BeiYau who was following the Crown Prince lowered his head to greet to the Second Prince.
"Greeting, Your Majesty the Second Prince."
LuoYan holds his expression and smiled even though he had to hold himself back. He clench his fists behind his waist, watching Luo Xiang carry BaiYing away.
"Hey, HuaBaiYen" he smirk.
**********************************
"Heh,"
BaiYing's breath sounded.
Another morning, the sun was shining bright enough just like any other day in early spring in the beautiful YueYang plains. BaiYing, who had opened his eyes for a moment just looked outside silently, far into the sky where the beautiful and clear clouds slowly drifted along with the wind. The gust of wind carrying the smell of grass and fresh leaves after a dewy night, made his chest feel relieved.
BaiYing bent his knees, slowly tilted his body, and got up sitting with his legs up from the bed. He was very tired, for some reason, all the problems consumed a lot of his energy which drained out so fast, it turned out that being HuaBaiYing, a young master from a respected family did not allow him to enjoy his life properly, nor as a fake concubine. Being exposed to a little poison made him like a small twig that so easily to break. Always fall unconscious because he is too tired, a little bad weather make his body fragile and easily to get fever.
This is very troublesome, even though he can't bear to get out of this terrible palace, staying longer will only make him die silly. Not to mention with all the treatment as if he is no more important than other citizens anywhere, he has to get out of there.
BaiYing raised his face when he heard the door open.
"Kreekk"
His two little maids Yan and Bi approached.
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
BaiYing smiled, two cute girls who are maybe the same ages as him, both lowering their knees to greets before putting down the basins of water to wash his faces, and also medicine as usual for the past five days. The two maids always spread positive energy for him every day. Maybe they the only people who really care about him even though it might just be another duty for them.
"Your Majesty, please allow me" said Yan, before reached BaiYing's hand and washed it with a cloth dipped in warm water.
"Your Majesty still has a fever, you should not take a bath first," said Yan.
BaiYing smiled and looked like he had to listen to them this time. His body is still so weak that it makes his head always spinning and his stomach nauseous. It's all like a dream.
"We still have lots of activities to do"
BaiYing let Bi tidy up his messy hair.
"Your Majesty, next time you don't have to go here and there, your body is still weak, it's better to stay close with us, so if there's anything, just let us do it" said the girl.
"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't know how anxious His Majesty the Crown Prince was last night, he couldn't sleep just waiting for you all night, " Yan added.
BaiYing turned his head, did that man really there all night? Was he so unconscious that he didn't even notice anything? He does feels someone is holding his hand, he thought that might just be a dream.
