BaiYing turned his body and leaned back to the Crown Prince.
"After the stone comes out, Your Majesty must give it to the Serpent so he can transform into a Dragon. After that, Your Majesty must immediately kill him and You will be immortal forever"
The Crown Prince smiled, this boy, heard YoTang's story and simply just believed it. He flicked that innocent kid's forehead.
"Hehe stupid kid, there is no such a thing, it's just a folktale or legend from ancient times. There's nothing such as eternal youth or eternal life, why do you believe all they said?."
BaiYing touched his forehead, frowning at the Crown Prince who smiled mockingly at him.
"Your Majesty, this is the word by Grandfather Ouyang himself to Brother Yo, maybe it is true. Otherwise why those people were so determined to look even vanish my entire family? My poor family, if just I knew what they want"
"If you know then what? Give them the stone? Then that person will become strong and immortal? Is that what you want?"
BaiYing pursed his lips.
"Well, rather than lose my entire family."
The Crown Prince took a deep breath. He kissed BaiYing's neck and hugged him tightly with both hands.
"Hemh, YingYing must remember, your father didn't say anything, which means that they are very protective of this stone. That's why, you should also take care of it, and these pills..."
LuoXiang grabbed a small pendulum that was now hanging around BaiYing's neck. The hollow pendulum that Brother Yo had given him. In it were OuYangLu's two magic pills. If BaiYing decided to take out the stone one day, one pill to kill him, and the other one to wake him up. LuoXiang wanted to destroy the pills and didn't want to think about it at all. But, one day they might need it, BaiYing lives, are at stake.
"Elder OuYang's purpose in giving these pills to your father was before something happened to your family. So your father could remove the stone and keep the family out of danger. Give back the stone to where it belongs. But, at this rate, this means we have to keep it as long as possible. I won't let those people to able to get closer to you again" he kissed BaiYing's forehead gently.
BaiYing thought, what the Crown Prince said was true, but, this meant, he would always carry a bomb wherever he went. Whether it's true or not, but for people who wiped out his one family for this stone, that legend might be true.
"Heh, well it can't be helped"
Both of them enjoyed the night air that came in through the open windows, LuoXiang didn't want to think too much about anything else. Now, holding BaiYing in his arms had become the most beautiful thing for him, he wanted to enjoy it slowly.
"Em Your Highness"
"Hmm" LuoXiang replied.
"My maids have known that I am a boy since a long time ago"
LuoXiang almost straightened his seat in surprise.
"Oh really? How do they know? Why didn't they say anything?"
BaiYing smiled in amusement.
"Hehe, they said when I was taking a bath, they accidentally peeked inside the room afraid that I might need some help, at that time, they saw my chest"
Hearing that the Crown Prince almost choked on his saliva from laughing.
"Hahaha. That's funny."
BaiYing frowned.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh, this is so embarrassing. They should have said it from the start, but in fact, they were keeping silent. They said the reason is because they think I am so attractive, compared to the other concubines. And also because Your Majesty feels happy when you are around me, that is a very weird reason, isn't it?"
LuoXiang stopped laughing.
"What's weird? It's true. They just talk very honestly about what's in their mind. No wonder they are so obedient when you ask them no one is allowed to disturb you while you taking your bath. I think when they help you put on your clothes they probably would have known it too. But because my YingYing was so kind to them, they also can't possibly betray you."
BaiYing thought for a moment, so deeply until his brow furrowed.
"Em I think so, but because of it, I can't sleep well thinking about it every night. If only they told me it would be better"
"Then, has YingYing started to sleep peacefully now?" LuoXiang asked, from his tone BaiYing suspected something, he saw the Crown Prince's face and tried to push him away.
"Yeah, I'll sleep very well tonight"
LuoXiang grabbed BaiYing's waist not letting him escape, he grinned intently.
"Well, I won't let you sleep too well tonight"
BaiYing got ready to run away but he was not fast enough as LuoXiang pulled his waist so he fell back on the bed.
"Y-Your Majesty" BaiYing gulps.
LuoXiang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but want to kiss every inch of BaiYing's body. He grabbed the blanket and covered the two of them inside it.
"BaiYingYing, tonight you are completely mine"
"Your Majesty, no!" cried BaiYing trying to run away.
BaiYing's screams were heard outside the room.
"Your Majesty!!"
...
Morning comes.
The air is so fresh. The wind blew gently among the flowers that grew in bloom in the front yard of the Plum pavilion. The bright morning atmosphere was also visible on the faces of the maids who got up early and cleaned every corner of the pavilion. They brought food ingredients to the kitchen, dried some clothes in the backyard, and drying the dry spices for the next food ingredient.
BaiYing was seen sitting in the front yard. Painting with his two little maids, since this morning he just scowled, that stupid Crown Prince kept him from sleeping all night. That caused he is very sleepy now. He even have a dark circles under his eyes. He was still muttering while painting. Whether painting or just doodling. The shape of his painting which was originally supposed to be the face of someone he knew became more like a rounded potato.
BaiYing pursed his mouth, thinking where he did wrong?
Yan and Bi stole a laugh seeing BaiYing's painting while neither of them knew what to do. BaiYing pulled them both to accompany him to do his morning activities.
"That's a very cute picture. Your Majesty" both cuckled.
BaiYing still feel so annoyed every time he thought of how that perverted Crown Prince hugged so tight as if he was a bolster, and forced him to stay up all night, that pervert.
"That pervert man, errrhh"
BaiYing was so annoyed and even trying to break the brush. But, of course he can't, the brush is made of high-quality ironwood from the forest at the Sanpo border. It would be very difficult to break it just like that, finally, BaiYing just slammed the brush on the table and stood up quickly.
"Okay, I'm bored, let's go to the valley to fly the kites."
The two maids glanced at each other, both trying to hold BaiYing's hand.
"No, Your Majesty, it's very dangerous out there," said Yan, Bi agreed.
"Yes Your Majesty, we can't go anywhere, how about we just play hide and seek here. The yard is quite spacious, Bi will invite Tu and others to play with us"
Yan and Bi nodded at the same time. BaiYing glanced at the two girls. Indeed, he knew right now it was very dangerous for him to go out, and he couldn't do any more trouble for the Crown Prince. The young man had no choice but to sit back down in his chair.
"Hemh, that's right, um, how if we invite brother YoTang too?"
The two maids nodded.
"That is a good idea, Your Majesty."
