A Pupil

Yan and Bi raised their heads, glanced at each other for a moment until they smiled at BaiYing, who was still looking at them with big eyes.

"Emm, actually ..."

The two of them hesitated to say it, but it seemed that the two little servants' guess was correct, BaiYing stuttered. His eyes went so big.

"E re-really? You mean, all this time .. "

The two little maids nodded at the same time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have known since a few first days when Your Majesty entered the pavilion, it's when, Emm, Your Majesty took a bath."

Two months ago in front of BaiYing's bathroom. Two maids, Yan and Bi cover their mouths, in disbelief at what they saw with their own eyes that time. Coucbine Hua was sitting in the bathtub, shirtless! It is so clear that he's a boy.

BaiYing closed his mouth, his face flushed with embarrassment while the two young maids looked at him with their wide smiles. BaiYing held his cheek, couldn't help being too embarrassed, and covered his face.

"Aah you guys."

The two little maids chuckled, BaiYing's reaction was really cute.

"Please forgive us, Your Majesty"

"Th-then why are you both silent? Then last time, at the night when His Majesty harassed me, you were also crying, what exactly are you thinking? "

"We don't mind at all, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Concubine Hua is much more beautiful and attractive than other concubines. Your Majesty also has fair smooth skin, so beautiful hair, a very gentle face, that makes His Majesty the Crown Prince fall too much in love with you," said Yan, Bi agreed.

"Yes, your Majesty, we don't mind at all."

But BaiYing was the one who felt objected to what they had known all this time. This is so weird, both already that he is a boy all this time? Oh, this is so embarrassing.

The two little maids couldn't stop their smiles.

While they were still chatting, from the entrance, the guard entered seemed to be hurriedly delivering the news.

"Your Majesty Concubine Hua, there is something very important!"

BaiYing and his two maids turned their heads and glanced at each other until they got up to approach the young palace guard who was now standing in the living room.

...….

A large man lowered his body to his knees in front of the Crown Prince who was already in front of him.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I didn't expect it ..."

At Hua's residence, the palace had just finished building the front room of the main house after it burned down the other day. That afternoon the Crown Prince and BeiYau were already there receiving guests who had come since morning bringing important news to give directly to HuaLie, who unfortunately couldn't meet him at that time. The young man hesitated, he clenched his hand firmly, what should he do now? Meanwhile, his master asked him to deliver the news directly to HuaLie.

The Crown Prince realized what was on the youngster's mind. He glanced at BeiYau, who approached the young man and helped him to his feet and sit on a chair not far beside the Crown Prince.

The young man, claiming to be named YoTang, a pupil of the Valley of Medicine, the Great Healer OuYangLu's pupil. He is an old man who was forced to part ways with him so that he could arrive at this house. Whether those people were still chasing him or not?

YoTang stuttered, he couldn't be rash at this time, his teacher risked his life so he could deliver this very important news, but,

"Just give it to me" the Crown Prince's voice. YoTang widened his eyes and slowly raised his head to look at the Crown Prince who finished taking a sip of tea and put it back on the table. He was very calm. The Crown Prince's face was so calm as if he had control of the situation.

"But, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I, this must be given directly to Master Hua himself"

LuoXiang lowered his legs that had been crossed earlier.

"Then, do you intend to give it to him directly? Do you know, if merchant Hua and his whole family have gone to another world, it might be very difficult to convey it in person now "

YoTang lowered his body to his knees again.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, but this is a message from my teacher. I can't just act because my teacher has risked his life so I can give this to Master Hua, or at least his family. If I can't, maybe, I will take it to my death"

LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau again, helping the young man to his feet again and sit in his chair.

"Family? What if, the son-in-law, counts as the family right? "

YoTang stuttered at the Crown Prince's words, he glanced at BeiYau beside him, and looked around the room, seeing no one else there other than the Crown Prince and his entourage.

"Is that, YiFang is here?" he asked.

LuoXiang pulled his lips into a grin, that name is mentioned.

"Heh, YiFang? The one who killed an entire Hua family? "

Again, YoTang widened his eyes so big. He stuttered in disbelief at what the Crown Prince had said.

"Wh-What Your Majesty mean?"

The Crown Prince got tired of being there for a long time and didn't know how much his time was wasted while he still had so many important activities waiting in his palace, such as accompanying YingYing in knitting and playing.

"Just hurry and just say it, I don't have all day to serve you, YingYing is already waiting for me at home, you're wasting my time."

YoTang opened his eyes wide at the Crown Prince's words.

"Eh Yi-YingYing?" he didn't want to think it was just a coincidence, because according to the news when he arrived at this house the entire Hua family had indeed been murdered,

"Yes YingYing, he's the son of the HuaLie, automatically, I'm the son-in-law of the Hua family, does that make me part of the family? Didn't I"

YoTang swallowed his saliva unanimously, the person in front of him didn't seem like he was joking.

"Gleuk"

While, not far in front of Hua's residence, several black shadows were seen darting away between the trees. Looks like it wasn't just the Crown Prince's group who were there at that time.

...….

BaiYing sat in his living room accompanied by his maids. He looked worried and occasionally bit his nails because of nervous. His eyes often looked at the door where the person he was waiting for should have arrived at that time. It was already night, a few moments ago the sun had set, what made that guy take so long?

The sound from the door made BaiYing sit up straight.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince has arrived!"

BaiYing stood up, he immediately greeted the Crown Prince who had just entered through the door.

"Your Highness"

LuoXiang frowned, why had BaiYing greeted him at that time? Did he miss him too much?
