CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE
Chapter 708 - 708 Heavy Hearted

708 Heavy Hearted

Luo Wang pulled his lips, looking heavy-hearted. He lowered his head while holding Yen Hui’s hand tightly.

“Heh, then will this be our end? Is there no other way to make two countries one? If I could do that, I would drag Wah Ye into Yue Yang’s reign, and we would be inseparable again.”

Yen Hui smiled. He pressed his forehead against Luo Wang’s and smiled, although, in truth, his heart was also very troubled.

“Heh, Brother, you know how Hui er feels, didn’t you? Until whenever you will always be my true love”

Luo Wang smiled, and he nodded while holding the back of Yen Hui’s neck.

“Of course, Hui er, big brother knows that, I will be waiting for you in the palace, come when everything is done, okay, we will be together, big brother has prepared such a beautiful palace for us”

Yen Hui smiled and nodded slowly.

“Yeah Brother, Hui er will definitely come here later”

Bai Ying, who had been standing where he was watching since earlier, finally couldn’t stop his tears from falling. His heart ached at the thought of what had happened to his great-grandfather, would this also happen to him? His heart ached, and now he really missed the Crown Prince.

.....

“Ems, Your Highness”

Bai Ying turned around when he saw someone standing not far behind him. He wiped away his tears, clenched his hands, and unsteadily approached the figure that was none other than Bai Guang, the keeper of his memory coin. And what he saw earlier must have been Yen Hui’s memory that he had stored in his coin.

Bai Guang only looked at Bai Ying who couldn’t stop crying, waiting for the young man to calm down before responding.

“Your Majesty”

Bai Ying tried to hold his breath. With that, hopefully, he could stop crying.

“Brother Bai, does it mean, that I, and His Highness the Crown Prince, also can’t be together? Did you’re showing me this on purpose so that I’ll realize the effort we’re putting in now, will ultimately be in vain? Is it?”

Bai Guang just looked at him, not answering anything or even moving. Bai Ying looked back at Prince Yen Hui and Luo Wang who seemed to be enjoying the clear afternoon air without any burden, both of them laughed, even though they knew they would not be able to be together. And, Bai Ying’s tears couldn’t stop imagining that at the end of the wait, even Luo Wang and Yen Hui still couldn’t unite in the end, they were so unfortunate.

“Erm, grandpa”

...

Back to Xin Hua.

“Ying Ying!” Luo Xiang woke up from his sleep and widened his eyes in shock at what was in front of him. They had already returned to Bai Ying’s room in Xin Hua palace. Everyone woke up with confused faces.

“You Majesty!” Xiao Hong immediately straightened up and helped Chen Ming who woke up on a cot not far from the bed.

Luo Xiang stand up and approached Bai Ying on the bed. The young man had not yet opened his eyes like the others. Still in the same position after they left dozens of days ago, no, if what the white tiger said was true, they were gone for no more than a few days. Not even more than two days.

Chen Ming drew closer.

“Little brother”

But he was pushed by the protective energy around Bai Ying’s body, Xiao Hong widened his eyes and catch Chen Ming at the right time, not even the Crown Prince could get close to him.

“Ying Ying, Bai Hu, what happened?” he cried looking around the room.

At their last memory before waking up, he and the others had followed the light where the white tiger cub ran as if to show them the way. It was according to what Bai Hu said before they left that they should follow the direction of the light and look for the invisible wall. Luo Xiang was sure that he was holding Bai Ying’s hand to come out with him, but, why didn’t that kid wake up yet?

“Your Majesty, you’re back?”

Bai Hu appeared from outside the door. The man looked at the bed where Bai Ying’s protective energy was throbbing intensely. He waved his hand towards the protective field, but instead he was pushed back by the force of energy against him.

Luo Xiang was anxious. Everyone had left except for Bai Ying, how could he not be anxious? He tried to get closer but again Bai Ying’s protective energy pushed him away as if the boy didn’t give him a chance to get closer.

“Ying Ying!”

What happened? If Bai Ying had not exited the world in memory of coins like them did this mean he was trapped there? Because he might have missed the chance to get out.

“Shit, Bai Hu, do something!” Luo Xiang exclaimed frantically.

Meanwhile in Bai Ying’s dream.

He sat on the edge of the cliff where Wah Ye stretched out in front of him. It was the Xin Hua, the Wah Ye he knew now. He sat on a large rock at the edge of the cliff where he first resurrected Wah Ye. The cloud forest, which used to be the city of Pai Hua, and since the palace sank it turned into a cloud forest, separated the center of Pai Hua city in two, and Sui Lian is a separate part of Pai Hua.

Someone came and sat beside Bai Ying, someone in all black clothes and gray hair who fluttered far back due to the strong wind coming from the front. He is Bai Guang. A mystical creature in the form of a young man who keeps a memory coin.

“Your Highness, it is time for you to return, the door won’t open for long, you must return quickly,” said the young man.

Bai Ying didn’t turn around for a moment until slowly look back at the red door behind them. It was very easy, he just need to walk to that door and faced the real world back to his world. Back with the Crown Prince and the others, he should have done so without a doubt, but, what he saw again made his heartache. Feel confused and doesn’t know what he should do next to avoid another sadness from happening again, he really scared.

Bai Ying clenched his fists. His hair was pulled back to cover his forehead as he turned towards the cloud forest.

“Brother Bai, did our destiny, to be like Grandfather and His Majesty Emperor Luo Wang? is, there’s nothing I can do to avoid it?” Bai Ying asked.

Bai Guang who was sitting beside Bai Ying looked at Bai Ying’s face for a while, then returned his gaze to the front, looking far away at the boundless scenery in front of them.

“That may happen, Your Highness, but it may not, servant Bai Guang can only show you the true past, not the future, for that, Your Highness needs to live it. Anything can happen.”

Bai Ying swallowed his saliva whole. Looking at the mystical creature for a long time, didn’t think that a coin, which appeared out of nowhere could make the creature be there, sitting with him. This may or may not be a dream, because what he feels is so real.

“Brother Bai, would you please give me some time here? Leave me alone, I, am tired, and want to think for a while” said Bai Ying.

Bai Guang pulled his lips, he is not a human who understands how their feelings actually work. Basically, he is just a spirit sent down from the sky to protect time and space in memory coins. Time didn’t apply to him, giving the young man in front of him time was not difficult.

He stood up from his place.

“Alright Your Highness, I will wait”

Bai Guang walked away, leaving Bai Ying alone on the rock. There was no sound, other than a strong gust of wind that passed beside his ear. Bai Ying had doubts, if he returned now he would continue living with the Crown Prince, but, not knowing what would happen next, would they be together in the future or not? Just thinking about it made him hesitate to take a step, what if, in the end, they couldn’t be together at last? What if what happened in his dream came true? His heart was very heavy at the thought that he had to go through all that again and in the end, all their efforts were in vain. He was so tired.

Bai Ying lowered his chin into his folded arms. Instead of going back to the Crown Prince and them still going their separate ways, how about he stay and help his Grandfather to unite with Luo Wang? Silly things. Bai Ying thought, how could he even think of getting there? Did he no longer believe in his love for the Crown Prince? Was he starting to have doubts?

It felt like turning his body and going inside the door to meet the Crown Prince, it felt like he had missed him so much that his chest was tight just to breathe thinking he missed him so much. But… heh, Bai Ying took a deep breath, why was he so heavy-hearted?
