Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 265

265 Want to live happily with Li Hua

Lóng Wei stopped outside the hut where Yuze lived. He ran away from the palace because he knew if he stayed there, he would kill Lianying first for dragging the name of Yuze.

If there was someone whom Lóng Wei respected more than anything, then that person was Yuze. Only he knew, how he controlled his anger at that time.

“Prince Lóng Wei,” Yuze said, and Lóng Wei turned to look at him. Yuze was bewildered to see the blood on Lóng Wei’s neck and upper part of the robes.

He had a bamboo basket, which he put on the table and walked up to him. He asked Lóng Wei where he hurt himself.

“You should not have made any prophecy about me. Because of the prophecy, I am stuck here,” Lóng Wei stated. His eyes carried a dejected look. Yuze realized that something had happened in the palace again.

“Follow me,” Yuze said as he walked ahead with the support of the thick stick. Lóng Wei followed him inside the hut and sat on the bench. Yuze put the basket on the table and went to the room to get herbal medicine for Lóng Wei.

After a while, he came out and cleaned the wound on Lóng Wei’s neck before applying the herbal medicine over it. He covered it with a clean white cloth and tied its end behind his nape. “Do not move your head too much,” Yuze advised him. He went outside to clean his hands with the water.

When he returned, he sat next to Lóng Wei and asked him to speak.

“Yuze, that bastard crossed his entire limit. He lied about you and even humiliated you. I should have broken his teeth at the very moment when he spoke those things,” Lóng Wei said while gritting his teeth and slammed his hands on the table before him.

.....

“Who did this? Will the Prince be clear with his words?” Yuze was unable to understand him.

“Lianying. That bastard sent a man to kill the Crown Prince. When I exposed him, he questioned your prophecy. I do not care what you said about me, but he told everyone in the hall that you were scheming with me to overthrow the King. I should have killed him even before he could speak from his mouth,” Lóng Wei said with a murderous expression. His anger kept increasing and his inner voice was telling him to brutally kill Lianying even if he would get punished.

“Calm down.” Yuze patted Lóng Wei’s back. “Eunuch Lianying was the type who believed in filling the ears of the person. He only wants the downfall of the Prince who exposed his truth in front of everyone,” Yuze affirmed.

“I killed her for a reason, Yuze. To survive, I had to end her life. I am a sinned son and I don’t deny that. “I knew I might have died after killing her, but it was the only way for me to survive,” Lóng Wei replied, lowering his head. “I didn’t like it. His words stabbed my heart like a knife,” he muttered in fury.

Yuze was perplexed to see Lóng Wei this way. He usually used to ignore what others used to say about him. But this was the first time, Lóng Wei got bothered. He even complained to Yuze about why he had to make such a prophecy about him.

“I don’t want to rule over the kingdom even if it’s my destiny,” Lóng Wei pronounced and took heavy breaths.

“You cannot run away from your destiny, Lóng Wei. However, you can change it. My prophecy in the end says that the Dragon’s son will use it to make this Kingdom prosperous,” Yuze stated, and gave him a warm smile.

“Can I kill him? I will ask my father to let me kill that bastard with my hands,” Lóng Wei stated.

“The Prince shall think rationally,” Yuze said. “Let the King handle this matter in his own way,” he advised him.

“Yuze, I want to protect Li Hua. She embraced me when I had no faith left in anything. That’s why today I stopped myself. I want to live happily with Li Hua. If I become the Governor, I can protect her in a better way,” he stated.

Yuze hummed and caressed his arm. “You will become the Governor and even protect your wife,” he said.

“But everyone judges me because of my past. Sometimes I wonder if I made Li Hua’s life difficult because of me. However, I cannot even remove her from my life. Because if she disappears from my life, I will also disappear,” Lóng Wei said. Though there were no tears in his eyes, Yuze sensed that he was badly hurt.

He had decided to go once to the palace in the evening to find out what exactly happened. What did Eunuch Lianying say that hurt Lóng Wei?

“Li Hua must be alone and looking for the Prince,” Yuze said.

“She will run away from me. I, somehow ended up getting hurt,” Lóng Wei murmured.

Yuze could not stop laughing at his words.

“Then, the Prince shall not get hurt,” Yuze opined.

“You are right,” he agreed with him. “Yuze, you should not protect me anymore. I don’t want anyone to think you always side with me,” he urged.

“Because no one was by Prince Lóng Wei’s side, then I must have to do that,” he asserted. “However, now the Prince has many people around him. He has become close to many,” he added, and praised him for his achievements.

“After Li Hua came into my life, I met with people who wanted my good. Huang Xi wanted to become my friend. Brother Mingquan also supported me. Chang Shi was my friend for a long time. Not many know about him. Xu Zifan is also close to me.” Lóng Wei’s mood started to lighten and he smiled as he recalled that he had a few people around him who always understood him.
