51 BloodStone

Yan and Bi raised their heads. Both sobbed when they saw the tears in the corner of BaiYing's eyes. He had promised not to cry again, but he could hardly hold it back.

"Your Majesty won't throw us away?"

BaiYing wiped the tears that had dripped from his eyes.

"Of course not, instead, I want to thank you guys who are always there whenever I need you"

The two little maids wiped their tears, although they could not stop their crying. Thinking about how unfortunate Concubine Hua's fate is, who has to be left by her whole family. It makes them both fragile and sad, and now how can they stop crying?

"Your Majesty please don't cry again"

BaiYing smiles, he tries to hold himself from sadness.

"I'm alright, as long as you guys don't leave me"

While they were chatting, several people entered from the gate.

"Sister Yen, are you home?"

BaiYing raised his head and looked like the other concubines had appeared at the door. Mu'er was the first to enter and without hesitation, the petite concubine ran over to BaiYing.

"Oh sister Yen'er"

BaiYing got up to greet them. Unexpectedly the concubines came and hugged him just as he was about to greet them.

"Y-You guys"

"Oh, poor sister, we are so sorry for your loss" Even Fan'er and Lan'er who recently snickered at him joined in to hug him. BaiYing could not move away, and could only stand in the arms of three beautiful girls who without hesitation opened their arms wide and hugged him.

"Poor Yen'er"

...…...

The sound of several horses rushing across the dusty ground. The two leading horses galloped as fast as they could with two men sitting in saddles occasionally looking behind them. One looked slightly aged with partially gray hair and a wrinkled face, while the other one was a young man with a large body with ages ranging from about twenty-five and above. Both of them avoid the pursuit of several horses ridden by men dressed all in black even to cover their faces. Long swords and machetes ready in their hands with fierce gazes shrouded in a murderous atmosphere. Five to six large horses were ridden by each of them and did not slow down at all to chase the two people in front.

The old man gave the code to the young man beside him. The two decided to split up as the road ahead forked.

"Don't forget, give it directly to HuaLie!" exclaimed the old man. The young man nodded. He slammed the reins hard and accelerated the horse. It was getting so hot that he didn't realize it might be too tiring. The man took the road on the left down while the older man headed towards the hill.

"Hiaaaa! Hiaa !! "

.....

It was raining very hard. The sound of screaming followed by a sick moan filled the silence of the night.

"Akh!"

Sitting on his knees with the frightened faces of two people in the living room. None other than HuaLie and his wife knelt after several people burst into his house and killed the doorman, even their gardener. HuaLie was afraid, but he resisted angrily holding the hand of the young man he knew quite well in front of him. However, no matter how sharp his gaze was, he still could not avoid the slash of the machete which immediately cut his jugular vein.

The blood splashes everywhere, in the room filled with bodies.

"Akhhh !!" Madame Hua screamed hysterically. Her eyes widened wide as the next slash of a machete slashed her neck. Blood spurted up to the floor. The two people fluttered for a moment before dying. Shortly from the door, YiFang entered and saw the bodies of two people who were already lying on the floor.

"Why did you kill the entire Hua family? What are you looking for?" the deep voice of the Crown Prince.

Ceklek.

LuoXiang placed his teacup on its saucer on the table, glancing at YiFang, who was kneeling before him in the interrogation room of the palace detention room.

YiFang didn't move much. His hands and feet were tightly shackled by the iron chains. Even if he could let go of the shackles, he wouldn't necessarily be able to get out of the Palace which was guarded by so many trained bodyguards.

For a moment the man raised his head. He looked at the Crown Prince in front of him for a long time. A young man with a high chin who would never bow his face to anyone, unlike him, who had to become a litter all his life because of his helplessness.

He grinned. A grin that made the Crown Prince straighten his seat.

"What does it mean?"

YiFang took a deep breath, grinning.

"Hey, little Ying can get involved in this kind of ridiculous thing. I regret this even in my dying. But, I don't seem to have much choice right now."

LuoXiang glanced at YiFang sharply, the person speaking as if mocking him.

"What ridiculous thing do you mean? YingYing is fine, just think about yourself. If it is not because you and your accomplice who ruined and targeted his life, he would be just fine"

YiFang raised his head. He looked at LuoXiang with his condescending eyes. No one had ever given him that look before, only the man who would die in front of him would dare to do so.

"How can Ying be alright? Do you think his life will be good living in a palace under someone else's name? Do you hope that Brother Ying will live that fake life forever?"

LuoXiang wanted to yell, but he held it, he clenched his fist tight. The young man in front of him said something that had been in his head all along.

"It won't be long, YingYing will become HuaBaiYing again, you don't have to think about that matter."

"Well, did you wait until Little Ying's head left his body? Or until you realize that he doesn't have sex organs like your other concubines? "

LuoXiang couldn't restrain himself anymore, he got up from his seat and kicked YiFang hard bumping to the floor.

The man rolled to the ground on the dirty prison floor. Luo Xiang's eyes stared at him to refrain from bursting out, but YiFang laughed instead.

"Who do you think you are? With your filthy mouth, how dare you say such a thing about YingYing? Your dirty mouth doesn't even deserve to mention his name! Just Cut the crab and tell me who is the mastermind behind the massacre of the Hua family. Are you not ashamed when you see YingYing's face because you have killed his entire family and still hope that he still has a heart for you?"

YiFang stopped his laughter. The blood comes out from his mouth who knows how bad the injury is? But, no matter how the pain is, after being kicked and beaten or tortured, is not as painful as it was when he saw BaiYing's eyes staring at him last time. YiFang dropped his head on the floor of the muddy prison. Last night the rain crashed from outside the hole in the ceiling of that underground prison which was stuffy and almost left no air.

LuoXiang sat back in his place. BeiYau who was standing behind him poured the tea into the Crown Prince's cup which was starting to empty. He took another soft sip.

"You will die so pathetic YiFang. So pathetic without being able to see the sun again, won't even be able to see YingYing's face for the slightest bit. I can't guarantee you won't regret it at the last moment you just keep silent without saying anything that can save YingYing. You said you like him and love him more than your life. But, hehe, it might just be your selfishness, you don't even know what it is to like or love someone. I doubt someone like you can understand. "

YiFang looked at The Crown Prince sharply, with two hands tied behind him he tried to get up and sit.

"I love Xiao Ying! Who are you to say what I feel about him? "

LuoXiang grinned, trying to bring down the emotions that had been about to explode over his head. He had to try to calm down.

"Hey, how ridiculous"

YiFang looked at LuoXiang for a long time, swallowing his saliva. He lowered his head in thought and saw the Crown Prince's face again.

"That person, wearing a snake eye ring on his pinkie. He is fat and big. Not so tall, nobody could see his face because he always covered it with a mask. But that man gave us a lot of gold and ordered us to look for one very important thing at that house. We didn't know what it was but the man said about a Bloodstone which was last time owned by the Hua family. "

LuoXiang stopped his hand movements, frowning at YiFang's explanation.

"Bloodstone?"
