CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

“Hehehehe, this is really good,” several senior officials entered first, high-ranking officials consisting of ministers and state secretaries entered regularly taking the seats provided.

“Please, please” The young one of course politely gave way and the main seat to the elder, the higher-ups of the palace who lived outside the capital area had also come.

The Palace’s annual meeting was held half a month towards the end of the year, all the invited dignitaries of course were officials who were well-known for their contributions to the region as well as the palace, providing welfare for many people and not doing anything to the detriment of the palace. The reports that the Crown Prince receives and studies every day include seeing how the area is developing around SanPo, and it is not easy to choose honest officials because lately there have been so many injustices in every area, power makes people forget themselves and think they can do whatever they want without being noticed by others.

That afternoon Emperor YaoLie’s main advisor had already checked the surroundings of the Dragon Hall to welcome the officials who came, of course, all the officials would lower their heads to see the old man approaching them.

“Greetings, adviser Yao, may the advisor always be healthy and happy,” said several old officials who were still standing in front of the big door.

YaoLie chuckled while stroking his beard, he wouldn’t normally come out of the Emperor’s study were it not for the Emperor himself telling him to, according to the Emperor, YaoLie is getting old and needs to go out to enjoy the sun once in a while, well it’s true, the old man in his sixties skin does look pale because he rarely goes out, he doesn’t like the outside the room, but this time, what option does he have? The Emperor has warned him, if he doesn’t want to attend this year’s meeting, he will be transferred to the Palace’s external relations affairs department, which for sure, will have a lot of work outside the room, he didn’t want that to happen.

“Hehehe, welcome, gentlemen, please come in and enjoy the event.”

Before long, from the doorway, a group of palace families began to enter,

.....

“His Highness the Second Prince has arrived!” cried the doorman.

The Second Prince came with his very beautiful and shiny concubines in beautiful clothes. The handsome man smiled seeing the officials who immediately bowed their heads respectfully as he entered the hall.

“Sincerely Your Highness Second Prince”

Shortly after that the Crown Prince also arrived, came with BaiYing, concubine Fu and concubine Lui and their little maidservants, BaiYing’s face was shining with beautiful clothes dominated by a yellow colour, it was XinHua’s signature clothes, and today he had the opportunity to wear, of course, he can’t hide his excitement of that.

Crown Prince’s hand gripped BaiYing tightly. His face was serious just raising his hand to receive the greeting from the officials, LuoXiang’s eyes still glanced at the Second Prince who was already sitting in his place, this time he would not let BaiYing sit among them like before.

The event was quite calm, of course for BaiYing it was very boring, his eyes watered from the sleepiness that continued to attack him, he couldn’t yawn widely, no matter what, he had to save the Crown Prince’s face, lest other people say that the Crown Prince’s concubine was sloppy and not know manners.

........

On the border of the city of SanPo, among the tall and lush trees, there were several shadows streaking from tall trunks to other trunks with light bodies,

“Hiaatt!” screaming sounds, accompanied by sword strikes, several black shadows were seen chasing each other with several people in shiny clothes like palace guards, one of them was BeiYau who had drawn his sword chasing the person they had been stalking since morning,

BeiYau smirked, although tired, for him it just getting hotter to chase after his enemy who was standing in front of him now, JuYu, thanks to several days lurking and chasing out the clue, BeiYau and his men managed to follow and find the place, where the man was gathered his men.

“Hehe, Master JuYu, or if I’m not mistaken, General JiFu”

JuYu smirked, he was ready to attack, although BeiYau’s ability could not be underestimated, he was a general who used to be able to defeat ten formidable men at once, this is nothing to him,

“Hehe, it seems like its so impossible to deceive the palace, you figure this out very quickly, Royal Guard Bei”

BeiYau straightened his body.

“Heh, also can’t underestimate Lord JuYu, since when did you know that I was the Royal Guard Bei, that means, you also knew who His Majesty really was from the start?”

JuYu laughed,

“Hehehehe sadly I’m wasn’t, this senile old general is so stupid that he didn’t expect to have stood up and spoken so closely to His Highness the Crown Prince as well as His Highness the Viceroy WahYe, heh, that stupid kid, he couldn’t help but bow to YueYang, while the fact is he can raise WahYe to be the unrivalled number one country, he is really such a naive kid, but, hey, he will change his mind when all this ends”

BeiYau smirked, the news about BaiYing and ChenMing that those people failed to kidnap had not yet reached this person’s ears, he had to follow the charade,

“Where do you and your men plan to take His Majesty the Viceroy and Prince Chen? Do you know what you’ve been doing? This means plotting a rebellion, the punishment is death as a traitor, really didn’t expect you used to be the great general of the venerable YueYang.”

JuYu smirked again, this time he seemed to be holding back anger, the veins on his face clearly visible, the sudden change in emotion,

“Hey, don’t call me with that, such a disgraceful name and title, even I am disgusted to call myself the great general of YueYang!”

“Oh really? I thought, why do you hate YueYang so much, is it because you have been humiliated by the palace? Who found you had played with another General’s wife and even got her pregnant? When was that, twenty years ago?”

Hearing that JuYu widened his eyes, he looked very angry.

“Stop it! It’s all just slander! Never insult other people if you don’t know the truth!”

BeiYau purposely provoked the man’s anger, and he seemed to have succeeded,

“Heh, that’s the truth, giving you the punishment of leaving the Capital on foot is very light, but what makes you so vengeful is, being humiliated along the way where the citizens throw you with rotten fruit and vegetables, even animal dung, it makes you swear to take on revenge, but, hey, have you really underestimated the palace? This, is too easy, isn’t it? You even blatantly attacked in the board daylight, but now, this might be the end of your plan, master JuYu”

XuYi had already dashed to BeiYau’s side after successfully knocking out some of the JuYu underlings who were now surrounded in front of them.

“Guard Bei”

The two of them watched JuYu warily, the man might try to run away, but instead, he smiled as he drew the large sword tethered to his back.

“Hehe, that, what you think Guard Bei, but, this is good, at least less one Guard Bei in the palace, come on, advance at once.”

As if realizing something, BeiYau’s eyes widened,

BeiYau looked around him, he brought his special troops from the Crown Prince’s palace chasing the attackers after this morning the SanPo city investigators’ office was burned on purpose, so without thinking twice they ran there, however, they might have been lured to get away from the palace, they were far away in the northern part of SanPo city.

Even so, BeiYau smirked, he took out his sword from its scabbard and prepared to attack.

“Hehe, Elder Yi is in the palace, who can throw a tantrum in his presence? You might just suffer a crushing defeat.”

JuYu smiled again.

“He, that, maybe yes, but, can that Elder Yi, be able to resist the mighty poison of the MeiHua Flower that suddenly attacked? Even a very strong person wouldn’t be able to withstand the poison for long, this would be very interesting, I wonder how long he could stand?”

XuYi widened his eyes at BeiYau, he straightened his body

“Guard Bei”

BeiYau was ready to attack, freeze this person as fast as they can, would help them find out who was going to attack inside the palace, they had to do it very quickly.

“Officer Xu, catch him immediately, fast!” BeiYau shouted stomping his foot at JuYu who was already prepared with his sword.

“Yes, Guard Bei!”
