Chapter 2174: 25.64 Lone Black Star - Hospital

The problems caused by the changes on the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya, were left for Ye Caoyun to handle by their masters. The reason for this is simple. The two teachers didn’t want to handle the crown prince and second, couldn’t get involved with the royal family. After all, they are ancestors to the royal clan, once they get involved with them, those people from the palace and even those from the noble clans would overthink things causing commotions that would turn over the whole royal family. Moreover, their influence as ancestors to the crown and as people considered the first like with the purest royal bloodline, they had that much say in the empire.

Thanks to the interference of the heavenly will of this star, the whole empire considered them as the people who created this empire. As people considered creators, they had the strongest influence in this. Plus, there is the royal clan who also see them as a first generation and the oldest member of the imperial clan. Once they appeared beside the changed Ye Qinya, they would have thought that this was caused by them and that there is a deeper reason why they had caused this change in the Crown Prince. Well in reality, it was only something unsealing something and a person returning to his original self outside of the world’s control.

Without any choice, Ye Caoyun decided to handle Ye Qinya. With such big changes in the personality of Ye Qinya, the two of them choose to pretend that something had caused Ye Qinya’s change in personality. They had created a bigger scene just to make things realistic, they bombed one classroom and blamed a nonexistent culprit for the bombing of the Imperial Royal Academy.

After the stage bombing both Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya were saved from the scene and were hospitalized. The wounds they had intentionally caused while looking like natural wounds had obviously been left in their bodies. Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya personally state a fact that the latter had hit his head during the explosion so the sudden change in the crown prince’s personality can be explained.

At the hospital, the duke, the duchess and the Imperial Empress were the ones that came for the two young princes. The duchess himself had watched over the two children until they woke up. Of course, this waking up was timed and Ye Caoyun had practiced this whole stage scene with the changed Ye Qinya brought back by the two ancestors of the crown.

The moment Ye Caoyun opened his eyes, he saw his dad and father’s worried faces. The Duchess immediately hugged him after the medicinal pod had fully healed his injuries and burns.

Duchess Mo Jing said, "Thank god, you two are awake! This is great. Nothing serious has happened to you two. Who would have thought that someone would bomb the academy!"

"The target is most likely Qinya. His position as the empire’s crown prince is sensitive. Even the whole Imperial Royal Academy knows this identity. Even so, a bomb in the academy? This is something that needs to be taken seriously." The Duke, Lord Ye Jie said.

The Imperial Empress noticed that her son was waking up as well. Seeing that he was awake, the beautiful empress with tears in the corner of her eyes pulled her son into a tight hug.

"You are awake! Thank God!" The Imperial Empress said.

On the other hand, Ye Qinya no longer holds back his current personality. He looked at the Imperial Empress hugging and the other people in the hospital room. His face was devoid of any emotions. Because there are no emotions, his original expressions were also gone. Making the usually two faced crown prince become a taciturn prince who now speaks with fewer words and is almost unapproachable. He treated the Imperial Empress like anyone else. No favoritism or closeness from before. Even before the imperial family or his guide, Ye Caoyun, the current Ye Qinya had somehow become cold and a bit unapproachable.

"Imperial Mother, let go of this prince for now," said Ye Qinya.

The moment the Crown Prince had spoken this way, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at the crown prince. They were speechless as if they couldn’t believe what was happening. The way the crown prince speaks, his expressions, his emotions seem to dissipate.

The Duke, Lord Ye Jie asked, "Qin’er, can you speak again? Are you feeling alright?"

"Answering to the Imperial Uncle, this prince is alright," said Crown Prince Ye Qinya.

This response just made the suspicion of the three adults and one student in the hospital room surprising. This change of Ye Qinya was almost unbelievable.

Ye Caoyun asked, "Dad, Father, your highness, why is Brother Qinya speaking strangely?"

"This can’t be... How can this happen to my son?" The Imperial Empress said as she hugged his son who had changed a lot personality wise.

The three adults who had also noticed this turned serious at this event. The obvious change is something so clear that their expressions had turned serious upon realization of the current situation. The one who couldn’t believe it the most was the Imperial Empress that the lady started asking things to the crown prince trying to probe at the real situation of the Crown Prince. The Duke was also helping with the situation while the Duchess was observing the changes on the Imperial Prince.

The Imperial Empress and the duke asked a few more questions of the crown prince trying to gauge the changes on Ye Qinya. After a while, the three adults decided to talk somewhere else. They needed to go somewhere where the subject of the conversation himself would not be able to hear their conversation.

The duchess, Lord Mo Jing said, "Yun’er, can you stay and watch after your pair for a bit. We need to talk about something serious next door."

"Yun’er, stay on the same bed as Qin’er. Can you please watch over him for me," the Imperial Empress said.

With three pairs of eyes falling onto him Ye Caoyun sighed internally and was helped by his father to move on the same hospital bed as the Crown Prince. Only when the three adults saw the children on the same bed comfortably and had no rejection of one another’s presence did they feel relief.

Ye Caoyun thought for a moment and said, "Alright. I will look after him." The adults had excused themself after making sure that the two of them are feeling alright and that their lives are not in danger.

They had noticed that despite some changes in the crown prince’s personality, he still seems to accept the presence of his fated pair. In the empire, if there is someone who can cure the mental contamination on a sentinel faster was their bonded pair. After making sure that the crown prince still recognizes them and his fated pair, the three adults excuse themselves and borrow a room for them to have a conversation. Of course, Ye Caoyun didn’t seem to mind this huge change in Ye Qinya’s personality. However, now two people who aren’t very expressive with their emotions have appeared in the Imperial family. After the adults had left the room, Ye Caoyun looked at Ye Qinya who had also looked back on him.

Ye Caoyun said, "I think your mother would have a hard time accepting your change the most."

"I’ve also thought so. It seems that my personality has indeed changed a lot after I am no longer a mortal like you," said the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya.

The Crown Prince observed the young man beside him and asked, "Do you like me better this way or do you want the old me?"

"Is there a need to choose? Both were you. There is not much difference between the two of you. If I had to say something then... the former you is too noisy and the current you have matured. Even so, you two are the same person. Nothing much has changed" Ye Caoyun answered.

The Crown prince followed his instincts and reached out his arms and pulled the younger man within his embrace. Ye Caoyun, as if used to this clinginess, let Ye Qinya have him as he wished. Anyway, he is too sleepy to continue the conversation. They can resume him when he wakes up.

Inside the hospital dean’s office, the Imperial Empress was in tears. She couldn’t believe that just one incident would completely change the personality of her only son. Though this change isn’t completely leaning to the side of something wrong, the fact that the crown prince had become less expressive and seems to be devoid of emotions, it made those who were used to the usual crown prince a bit uncomfortable.

"What should we do? Something had happened to my child! His emotions, his expressions, everything is all gone!" The Imperial Empress exclaimed as she covered her face with her two hands as her tears strolls down on her cheeks like an out of control dam.

"Wife, what do you think?" The duke asked his duchess.

Lord Mo Jing, the duchess responded, "I will need a complete diagnosis on Qin’er to know the reason what is happening to him."

"However, it seems that the crown prince still sees Yun’er as his fated bond. Or if he had truly changed, there is no way he would allow Ye Caoyun to stay on the same bed as him," the duke said.
