Slowly, BaiYing opened his eyes, blink’s until his vision cleared.

For a while, he paused to see the figure who already sitting in front of him, a young man, someone he was familiar with, who saw him with a big smile on his face.

“Little Ying, you awake?”

BaiYing’s eyes watery, couldn’t forget what he had just experienced, his father’s face covered in blood, his mother’s, all the Hua residents, everyone he knew, he couldn’t help but bust out of tears, cry loudly, get up and hugged the figure in front of him tightly.

“Brother, my Father, Mother, everyone, they all died, everyone, Ying’er knew, this, was just a dream right?” The young man embraced BaiYing’s trembling body, he lifted his head trying to hold back the tears that would fall if he didn’t persevere. The young man stroked BaiYing’s back trying to calm him down.

“Little brother, you just awake now, calm down”

BaiYing tightly embraced the figure of the young man.

.....

“Brother YiFang, what should Ying’er do now? Now Ying’er is an orphan, where is Ying’er going home? Why did they kill all of my family? brother”

YiFang, the young man who was none other than the close friend of the Hua family finally couldn’t hold back and also burst into tears, he buried his head in BaiYing’s shoulders and cried too even though he tried to smile to comfort BaiYing.

“Just hold on there, Xiao Ying still has Brother FangFang, don’t forget about that, okay?”

.............

Shortly after.

BaiYing gradually calmed down, even though he still couldn’t stop his tears from falling, he sat leaning back on the bed with a distant gaze toward the plunge, but it just blanks, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, his hands still shaking, couldn’t get rid of his parents faces out of his head even though he tried not to think about it.

“Father”

YiFang came with a tray with a bowl of hot porridge, approached the bed, and sat down beside the daydreaming BaiYing.

“Xiao Ying, you’ve been unconscious for a whole day, you must be so hungry now,” said YiFang touches BaiYing’s arm.

BaiYing didn’t move, he can’t feel anything now, no hungry, cold, sleepy, or tired, all he can feel now is hurt in his heart like someone keep stabbing it and make his tears won’t stop flowing, the hurt that makes his stomach nauseous and wants to throw up, he just feels his heartbroken.

YiFang reaches BaiYing’s hand and grasped it

“Brother, let’s eat, if you don’t put the food on your stomach you won’t get better, Brother Fang already asked the physician to prescribe the medicine, so you can have it after eating and take a rest after that, just don’t be too sad” His hand stroke BaiYing hair gently and grasped his cold hand again, but BaiYing didn’t turn at him at all.

“Ying’er not hungry.”

YiFang stroked BaiYing’s cheek.

“Even if you are not hungry you still have to eat, heh, em how about this, if you eat, brother will try to find out the news about your house ..”

YiFang had not finished talking when BaiYing turned to him excitedly, he held the young man’s hand.

“Brother, have you heard anything from my house? Is it, my Father and Mother are still alive? Did Ying’er just have a dream yesterday? emm, you want to go back to the house can Ying’er go with you?”

YiFang is silent to see excited BaiYing, even though he knows that the young man is only trying to divert his feelings.

“Brother Ying”

“Y-Ying’er will exchange clothes, and I haven’t taken a bath for days so I must be so stinking now, a and my hair, does Ying’er also need to wash my hair? Father will so mad if he knew I didn’t take care of myself, he just bought me scented sop from out of town a few days ago”

The young man rushed up from the bed but YiFang’s hands held him.

“Brother” He smiles seeing BaiYing who now stares at him confused.

“B-Brother Fang”

Again, BaiYing couldn’t hold back his tears, as he recalled what already happened, his body limp and his hands trembling.

“Th-They, they died, didn’t they? My Father, Mother, Ying’er already do what they asked me to, Ying’er already being a good boy, why does Father still go and leave Ying’er alone? Does Ying’er already fail? So, why don’t they kill me too?”

YiFang grasped BaiYing’s trembling palms, he shifted BaiYing’s shoulders and embraced him.

“Brother don’t be like this, you have to stay strong, don’t let the sadness make you weak, your parents will be so sad to see you like this”

“But why, why don’t they kill me too? Is, is this all done by that pervert Crown Prince? Did he the one who does this? Ying’er already asked him just to take BaiYing’s head only, why did he have to sacrifice all of my family too? But, His Highness already promised me, he promised he won’t touch them, this is not him, it’s not him”

YiFang let go of his arms. looked at BaiYing’s face very closely.

“Are you really sure he’s not the one who did this?”

BaiYing raised his head to look at YiFang with his watering eyes.

“B-Brother, what do you mean?”

.........

The Crown Prince’s Residence.

LuoXiang had gathered BeiYau and several of his chosen warrior chiefs, including generals PoYang and LinMo, the assassination of the Hua family also attracted the attention of the palace makes the Emperor issue orders to investigate it thoroughly, on the other hand, the Crown Prince did have strong support from several generals and division heads who were ready to help him, and that time, their main goal was to find Concubine Hua and catch the perpetrators of the Hua family massacre.

Currently, the only information that LuoXiang and others knew was that the assassin group came from the Black Water Valley clan and his gang, the Black Water Valley was notorious for not wanting to deal with anything more powerful, so Luo Xiang suspected that someone in the high place might be the mastermind behind the murder of the Hua family.

On the day of the incident, according to two of BaiYing’s maids, there was a guard who ran into the pavilion reporting about the incident at Hua’s mansion which made BaiYing leave quickly out without delay and go straight to his house which was not too far from the palace.

It was so strange because the kidnapper deliberately waited for BaiYing to arrive at his house and launch their action, if they wanted, they should have done it since he gets out from the palace to his house and easily take BaiYing without anyone fighting back, but, seems that the killers deliberately destroyed BaiYing’s heart when he found out that all of his family members were slaughtered, they thought of all these means just to kidnap him.

But, what made those people do all the effort just to take a useless concubine? For other people, except for LuoXiang, BaiYing might just not even be worthwhile enough as a concubine let alone to have the great clan intervene for him at all costs.
