After the young prince came out ShinYa approached LuoXiang who was still standing in front of the window with a distant gaze.

“Your Majesty, emm, may I know what Your Majesty is planning with? Searching for WahYe’s refugee base is tantamount to exposing Young Prince’s identity, isn’t this dangerous? We don’t know yet who actually killed Princess SanNiang and Hua family massacre, this is very risky Your Majesty, I will say, have a little objection over this matter”

LuoXiang clenched his fists, ShinYa is right, this is so risky, but at the moment he doesn’t have much choice, since the coin appeared on the surface, came ChenMing who managed to find BaiYing in a very short time, so fast, it could be, then, the real killer would also find him soon, although, living in the palace is quite safe, but it’s not without risk, because according to officials FuYa, it’s possible that WahYe’s citizens have mingled with the YueYang’s and some may still be very loyal to their country, and, right now, the best way is to find their refugee, the remaining WahYe family’s headquarters, according to ChenMing’s confession, it wasn’t his family that ordered the killing of SanNiang and his family, so chances are, the WahYe royal family might be able to help BaiYing especially on finding the culprit, who was either within the royal family or maybe someone else, this, a risk that LuoXiang had thought of one day he have to take, otherwise, who’s know for how long those people overshadow BaiYing?

“This matter also concerns the stability of YueYang, Lord Shin, if we don’t act quickly, it’s feared, this country might become a battlefield, I don’t want any unexpected casualties, YingYing definitely doesn’t want all of that to happen, so, at any risk when this, really worth trying”

ShinYa understood that he thought deeply, and bowed his head respectfully.

“Your Majesty is very wise, forgive me for not thinking there before”

LuoXiang held his breath, he felt, something big was coming, sooner or later, even sooner than he thought, all he had to do was, hold onto BaiYing’s hand as tightly as possible.

“Heh”

..........

.....

The owl from the Peony valley could be heard clearly to the front gate of the Goose pavilion where ChenMing stayed, two maids opened the door and allowed ChenMing who’s escorted by BeiYau to enter, for a moment, ChenMing stopped his steps right in front of the door, making BeiYau wonder.

“Prince, it is late at night, you should get some rest soon,” BeiYau said.

ChenMing turned his body, looking at Bei and the guards behind him, after this the Crown Prince would be watching him even more closely so that he wouldn’t be able to take a single step out of the pavilion.

“Guard Bei, tomorrow can I still take classes with concubine Hua and the others?”

BeiYau thought, he stroked his chin.

“Em, I didn’t know about that Prince, I’ll just wait for His Highness the Crown Prince’s next order”

ChenMing took a deep breath.

“Heh, I just wanted to take the coin.”

Hearing ChenMing’s words, BeiYau smiled.

“Heh Prince, that, isn’t an ordinary coin, and whether Prince Chen realizes it or not this problem is getting bigger, Prince doesn’t think, just wants to take the coin and it’s all can be done”

ChenMing waved his hand at his two maids to leave them alone, so did BeiYau who nodded at the two large guards behind him, who immediately retreated and left the room.

ChenMing took out a hanging coin with a red string hanging down his waist, under his clothes to keep it from being conspicuous.

“Concubine Hua has such an important coin, of course, it is not an ordinary coin, whether he is aware of it or not, because of it, his life will always be in danger, this time only I who know, but, tomorrow, perhaps that person will”

BeiYau frowned his forehead heard ChenMing’s words, a big matter like this should have been told to the Crown Prince earlier.

“Prince Chen, this matter, you should have brought it up earlier, this is no small matter.”

ChenMing nodded.

“Well yeah, but, I can’t say it in front of that person, it’s tantamount to looking for trouble”

Again BeiYau frowned at ChenMing’s words, who did he mean by that person?

“Prince, you mean, who?”

ChenMing looked at BeiYau.

“Who else, that fake shaman from WahYe, that man, all my life living in WahYe, I have never seen that person, how dare he claims to be a Great shaman from WahYe, an insult to the big-name of late Shaman’s before”

Hearing this BeiYau immediately knew who it was, well who else, if not ShinYa, indeed, as a Great shaman that person is really have nothing to show, let alone a Great shaman, even as an ordinary shaman he is not worthy, but, is it that person really have bad intention? Did the Crown Prince misrecognize people this time?

In BaiYing’s room.

LuoXiang sat on the bed with BaiYing leaning on him.

“Why it’s scuffed it like this?” asked LuoXiang who was holding BaiYing’s hand, looking at each of his slender fingers.

“It’s not a scuffed, Your Majesty, it’s because I grinded a face mask for Her Majesty The Queen, I haven’t done it in a long time so the skin is a bit peeling off like this”

LuoXiang looked at the slender fingers carefully.

“You, how many times I told you not to do that rough work, let your maid do it, after all, Mother is so weird why she’s always bothering you to make another face mask for her, like there’s nothing else to do”

“Your Majesty the Queen has been so busy lately, Your Majesty, there are representatives from foreign countries for cultural exchanges, so she said that she must always look the best and flawless, and also because most of the representatives are women, Her Majesty often recommended my face mask and said to them that mine was very good, so they asked me to make it more, lately, Ying’er, Sis FuLan, and aYa very much busy.”

LuoXiang furrowed his brows, pinching BaiYing’s nose.

“Ich, a boy like you why are so busy taking care of women’s affairs, so weird, anyway, starting tomorrow I will tell Mother not to bother you with all those face masks, what if your hands get damaged, this is very important Ying”

BaiYing crinkled his eyes.

“Your Majesty, please don’t do that, if Her Majesty the Queen doesn’t order me anymore then what should I do to fill my boring days?”

Luo Xiang frowned his forehead pretend to think.

“Umm, how about accompanying me in the study room? If YingYing there maybe all the problems would be solved very quickly.”

BaiYing puffed his mouth.

“Em, it’s better not, last time I read a lot of documents about WahYe, it already makes me bored to death, let alone doing other things, Ying’er is better at making face masks and medicines, and some other fun things, what is the fun about sitting all day in that boring office?”

LuoXiang opened his eyes It was wide to see BaiYing.

“This kid”

BaiYing didn’t stop smiling, the conversation between the two was so relaxed, up until BaiYing saw LuoXiang who changed his expression, became so serious.

“Em, Your Majesty, what is thinking on?” BaiYing asked as LuoXiang just silently held his hand.

The Crown Prince saw the young man’s face very close to his, lowered his hands, patted the young man’s hand.

“Em, YingYing, about...”

Not long after..

BaiYing opened his eyes wide, his two big eyes looked at the Crown Prince and blinked a few times, confirming the words he just heard.

“Em, what was that, Your Majesty? Your Majesty, going to SuiLian?” he asked.

The Crown Prince nodded.

“Yeah, heh, whatever it is, everything has to be settled, Commander Liu found the Black Water Clan headquarters near the forest, and possibly there are still several other bases in the vicinity, for sure, must find the WahYe palace family’s village headquarters, they might be the origin of all the events what happened to our Mothers came from...”

Before finishing his words BaiYing’s hand held the Crown Prince’s hand which was about to pull him back, LuoXiang turned his head and found BaiYing’s eyes watching him with concern, it was so obvious because BaiYing’s big eyes are the center of his adorable face.

“YingYing”

“Your Majesty, servant, have a bad feeling, don’t you think, Your Majesty needs to reconsidering about it before Commander Liu actually finds the palace family residence? is it better that, Your Majesty wait for the next moves?”

LuoXiang smiled, he understood how worried BaiYing was about this matter, let alone That kid, LuoXiang himself also didn’t know what he would find there later, he’s very nervous, slowly he grabbed BaiYing’s hand and held it.

“Heh, Prince ChenMing will take us to his home, he said and can guarantee that the royal family was not the one behind the murder of your mother and family, so, we might not going to have any trouble by meeting them.”

BaiYing looked at LuoXiang’s two big hands wrapped around his arms, looking at it for a while, whatever it is, he was very afraid, he felt, that hand might let him go one day, either because His Highness the Crown Prince was getting tired or because their fates were at odds, he felt, that heavy burden would approach him and swallow him whole, until that the big hands probably wouldn’t able to hold him anymore, BaiYing was about to pull his hand away, but, LuoXiang didn’t let him.

BaiYing raised his head to look at LuoXiang who was smiling broadly at him.

“Your Highness”

LuoXiang raised one hand, stroking BaiYing’s hair gently.

“Does, YingYing thought, that I would easily let go of this hand?”

BaiYing held back as if holding his breath that had made his chest hurt.

“Eh that, servant, just afraid, one day, there will come the time when Your Majesty will let go of my hand, at that time, I don’t know what I should do, can I do it? But, what if, all of that had to be done? Servant, is the Prince of a country that is said to be rebels, all of this, will change everything.”

The Crown Prince held his breath, opened his hands, and intertwined his fingers with BaiYing’s, holding them tightly.

“How about this, it will be hard to break right? Whenever YingYing feels like this grip is going to come off, hold it like this, this, it won’t come off very easily, no matter how much you pull it.”

BaiYing saw LuoXiang’s face so confident that he dropped his head on LuoXiang’s broad chest, which was clearly visible between his clothes.

“Heh Your Highness”
