Chapter 480

480 Back Home

Ye Mu went limp, and couldn’t stop herself from crying, she looked at Ye Lu who also look at her with his teary eyes. The young man immediately understood what his sister’s gaze meant, he came closer and put something into Ye Mu’s hand. A small flower-patterned medicine bottle with a white base and red flowers, which Ye Mu thrust it into the Crown Prince’s hand.

Luo Xiang who was hugging Bai Ying tightly looked at Ye Mu with big eyes, asking what it meant.

“Ye Mu, what is this?”

“This, is a life and death pill made by healer Ou, I have already strengthened it, right now, this, maybe the last way to save him.”

Luo Xiang stuttered and stretched out his hand to accept the pill Ye Mu poured into his palm.

Ye Mu is the daughter of the Du Gu family who mastered all kinds of poison, which means, the medicine she gave him, was probably poison.

“W-while... after taking it, Ying er will be in torpor for a day, or, it could be more, and after a day has passed, he needs to take a life pill to collect his breath again, this, the only pill of life and death made by magic healer Ou for Xiao Ying, there are no guarantees, i-it will work, but, ems.. This might..” Ye Mu’s voice was muffled, imagining Bai Ying might already be dying in front of her, all of this was real. She lowered her head and wept.

“Huks Ying er”

Ye Mu remembered what Bai Ying said when he was about to leave Xin Hua, he just touched her forehead and did something. The young man smiled broadly at her.

.....

“Em, sister Mu’er, you can go back to your house if you want, Ying has asked grandmother and elders for permission, and everyone agreed to let you go, so you are free now”

“Huks, this stupid kid”

Ye Lu helped his sister up, leaving the Crown Prince to decide for himself.

Xiao Hong couldn’t hold back his tears, it was probably a very deep sadness when someone he knew very well, left. His chest hurt unbelievably, and even though he tried hard to hold back the tears, he couldn’t.

“Your Majesty”

“Xiao Hong! Don’t just stand there, hurry here and help Ying er finish this food, there’s a lot of them, how can Ying finish it all?” he still remembers Bai Ying’s shout calling him cheerfully.

“Your Majesty” could not hold his body, and the young bird dropped his knees to the ground.

Luo Xiang looked at the pill in his hand for a long time, then saw Bai Ying’s pale face, what should he do? Couldn’t he have done anything to prevent that beautiful soul from leaving him? Does he really not deserve to be happy with his Ying Ying? Why this day should come?

Luo Xiang caressed Bai Ying’s face gently, brushed his wet hair on top of his head, and then lowered his head to kiss the young man’s forehead.

“Ying Ying, big brother can’t let you go, brother will do anything for you, you know that right? My sweet child, hehe, you are so ugly at times like this, look at your face, so pale like this”

Luo Xiang caressed Bai Ying’s face looking at him for a long time, and raised the child’s palm to his cheek, holding it tightly.

“Ying, don’t go, please don’t leave me, okay? Brother will not teasing you again, just be my little concubine” he whispered, couldn’t stop his tears from coming out, unbearably hurt in his chest, this is not happening, but, it is.

The Crown Prince then put a black round pill into his mouth, and tilted his head, kissing Bai Ying’s pale lips, pushing the round pill with his tongue into his throat.

Luo Xiang’s body trembled, pressed his forehead to Bai Ying and hugged him, hugging the limp body tightly.

“Huks, Ying Ying”

“Your Majesty!” he could hear Bai Ying’s cheerful voice calling when he saw him from a distance, his crisp and cheerful laugh, his witty eyes that shone so beautifully when he saw him.

“Hehehe come on Your Majesty, faster! Otherwise, the kite won’t go up high!”

“Slow down Ying, watch your step, this kid, you may fall later!”

Luo Xiang was crying, he was crying until not a sound came out, his chest so hurt, as if it was torn to pieces and thousand of knives stabbed in over and over again. The pain was unimaginable to anything he had ever felt. He was holding Bai Ying’s small body which was too thin for him to hug.

“Huks, Ying Ying”

“Brat, you eat a lot, but where did all that food go? Why are you still so thin like this, look, only your cheeks are stretched”

Bai Ying whimpered as Luo Xiang pinched her cheeks in annoyance.

“Ah, Your Majesty it’s hurt!”

The coldness in the cave had now turned so silent that it was bone-chilling, the chill in the chest became more intense as if all time had stopped at that moment. The cry of the black tortoise sounded so loud that it reverberated throughout the cave until it came out.

Meanwhile, the battle outside the cave seemed to be under control by the troops led by General Lin Mo who succeeded in repelling Xin Hua’s troops and crippling the Queen’s personal bodyguard, Dao, to the ground.

“Surender! Your queen has already fall!” exclaimed Lin Mo pointing the tip of his sword at the guard Dao’s neck.

The young man was about to get up but of course, he couldn’t fight back anymore, all his subordinates slowly fell one by one or even became prisoners.

Guard Dao Guard threw his hands out in annoyance.

“Damn it!”

Shin Ya who was in the middle of the battle felt his chest vibrate very painfully as if something had stabbed him. He couldn’t hold his legs that suddenly went limp until he dropped his knees to the ground holding his chest.

“Hoh Your Majesty”

His eyes shone bright yellow looking at the cave.

“Your Majesty, the King of Realm” his inner eyes saw the orange aura of the Realm King slowly dimming until it disappeared into the darkness. Shin Ya held his chest tightly, lowered his two hands, tears falling unstoppably onto the ground below him.

“Y-Your Majesty”

Although the screams of the Yue Yang warriors and the Cold Water clan were loud, they succeeded in repelling the Xin Hua palace troops who had suddenly weakened and dropped their weapons.

“We won!”

However, all these voices were not heard by him at all, even the people who were passing by excitedly in front of him did not appear in his eyes. Slowly, Shin Ya’s eyes were covered with a white membrane that made him lose his sight, he was blind, and the disappearance of the aura of the Young King made him blind again, like before when he hadn’t met him.

“Your Honour”

.....

The dark sky above Yue Yang’s palace churned, the dark sky became light in places due to the lightning flashing here and there. Before long, the rain fell very hard, soaking the ground of San Po.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, my hunch says that all the elements have returned to their place, disaster, maybe can be avoided,” said Yao Lie who was standing behind the Emperor who was looking at the dark sky and lightning flashing here and there, the rain this time somehow why does it seem unusual?

The emperor clenched his fists that were in front of his stomach, looking at the sky that was glowing brightly.

“Heh, maybe it’s right, Yao, all the elements have returned to their place and a major disaster can be avoided, hopefully, the Crown Prince and Viceroy can return safely,” said the Emperor looking at the distance with his sharp gaze.

...

Morning comes.

Little birds flew from the branches of the towering plum blossom trees. With a coquettish sound, landed on the ground looking for dry twigs with its small beak.

The plains of the Ku Chang valley are illuminated by the sun that has worked very hard even though it is still very early. Residents took to the streets to enjoy the warm air, which in several nights could melt the snow that had piled high at every exit of the house, some even fled quickly when snowflakes fell from the roofs of residents’ houses which had been covered with snow for a while until quite thick.

“Be careful!”

But the sound of laughter was unavoidable, everyone left the house when they felt the warmth of the sun which they had forgotten for a long time. Since Queen Bo Yan’s reign a few months ago made Ku Chang city gradually become very cold.

“Wow, the air is very warm, look at the birds, there are lots of them,” exclaimed an old man who was walking out with the help of his granddaughter.

“Yeah, Grandpa, and take a look at there, the ice in the river is melting” exclaimed the young girl, pointing at the river which is next to the road that divides the city into two, a small bridge stretching over the road has already been visited by several residents who want to enjoy the fresh air.

The golden carriage was already at the front yard of the Cold Water Clan. Several large horses of stout stature stood tall in front of the carriage and some were held by the little warrior Yue Yang.

On the third day.

The Crown Prince’s entourage gets ready to get back to Xin Hua.

Bei Yau looked like he was about to hold Chen Ming’s hand away from him, since returning a few days ago the young prince didn’t want to see anyone at all. He was so enraged that he even attacked Bei Yau when he returned from the battle, and, apart from the Crown Prince, it’s Chen Ming was the most devastated.

“Your Majesty”

The young prince staggered past him, Xiao Hong trailing behind him, not yet arrived in his carriage, Chen Ming’s knees buckled and he almost fell if it weren’t for Xiao Hong who holding him.

“Your Highness”

Xiao Hong held Chen Ming’s trembling shoulders. Crying until there was no sound, he dropped his head onto Xiao Hong’s shoulder.

“Huks, Xiao Ying”

Xiao Hong stroked Chen Ming’s back, the Prince didn’t stop crying and fell to the ground.

Bei Yau raised his head up, holding the tears that were already under his eyes from falling.

“heh”

Xiao Hong hugged Chen Ming, allowing the young prince to cry until he shook quite strongly in his arms.

“That brat”

Xiao Hong couldn’t cry, he had to be tough in front of everyone, he remembered what the King of Realm told him before they left for the big fight.

“Hong, in the future, I will rely on you to take care of my brother, brother Ming Ming is only pretending to be strong, even though, he is very unlucky, since kid, he had to run away from home because all his family members were killed, no one left, brother can survive because he was running away from home at that time. Later, please take care of him, you must be strong enough to protect him.”

Xiao Hong stroked Chen Ming’s back.

“Your Majesty, please calm down, Hong Hong is here, Hong will take good care of Your Highness.”

Chen Ming’s hands trembled to hold Xiao Hong’s arms, gripping them tightly.

“Stupid brat!”

The Crown Prince came out of the house, turning his body to look at the house that he and Bai Ying had been staying in for the past few days.

.....

The clan chief, Xi Lei and his younger brother, Xi Dao, as well as Xi Hu and Ye Lu, accompanied him. All lowered their bodies to salute the Crown Prince.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“May Your Majesty, safely on the way back”

Luo Xiang nodded. He waved his clothes as he turned around to walk towards his golden carriage.

Luo Xiang pushed aside the curtain of the carriage, and looked inside where Ye Mu was sitting on her knees beside Bai Ying’s stiff body, lying wearing the most beautiful and shiny clothes wrapped around his body, a gentle face with long curly eyelashes, tightly closed, the wind blowing from the window curtains stroking his silky hair, touching his smooth flawless skin.

Ye Mu lowered her head.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang just saw Bai Ying’s pale face, it was already the third day, however, his breath had not yet returned, and the boy had indeed left him.

“Heh, Ying Ying, we are going home, we are going back to our house”
