Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 349

349 Lóng Wei’s messed up childhood [Bonus chapter]

After knowing what General Hei told Lóng Wei, Li Hua pondered why Hei Chengxi didn’t tell the King about this truth.”Your Highness, why did you threaten General Hei with his life? He doesn’t want your wrong,” Li Hua said while knitting her brows.

“I do not know. My mind is blank at the moment,” Lóng Wei said and lowered his eyes.

“You will not die. Don’t let this thought come to you,” Li Hua said and continued to caress his hands.

“What if someone else also knows about it? What if that person uses it against me? What if Hei Chengxi pretended to be my well-wisher, and later betray me? Li Hua, if my father found out about the truth of my birth, he will not spare me. More than me, I am also scared about you. Your life is also associated with me. This is my only fear. My past hasn’t left me. I thought with her death, it would end. However, I was wrong,” Lóng Wei said and furrowed his brows together.

“Prince Lóng Wei, look into my eyes,” Li Hua urged. He did what she told him to and peered into her eyes. “Let’s go to the past and solve it. General Hei would not have told you to search for your real father if it wasn’t important. Also, your mother would not have told General Hei the truth if she didn’t trust him. Please trust my judgment. I think we need to find what the truth was,” Li Hua said in a humble tone and made him understand why it was important to know the truth.

“Li Hua, I don’t want prophecy to be true. Yuze told me that I will acquire the throne someday, but I don’t want that to happen. You don’t understand all this. For the throne, a bloodbath happens and I don’t want to get involved in that. If by any chance, the King fought out, everything would end. That’s why I do not want to look into the past,” Lóng Wei explained to Li Hua. She didn’t agree with him. But because he was troubled by this revelation of the truth, she didn’t say anything to him.

Instead, she thought to meet Hei Chengxi and found out the truth herself. In her eyes, the King was the reason for Lóng Wei’s messed up childhood. She recalled how desperate the King was to know the truth. Yuze had also advised her not to tell the King about Lóng Wei’s truth. Something big was hidden which must be found out.

She told Lóng Wei if he did dinner. He shook his head and told her he would like to sleep. Li Hua hummed and helped him get some sleep. When he drifted off to sleep after thirty minutes, she got out of bed and covered him well with the blanket. She blew off some of the candles in the room and went to the outside chamber.

The next day, after Lóng Wei went to the administrative office, Li Hua found a way to meet Hei Chengxi. She asked Huang Xi to help her meet his father.

“May I know why Princess Consort wants to meet my father?” Huang Xi asked.

“Commander Huang Xi, I will tell you later. But please arrange my private meeting with your father. I will be grateful to you,” Li Hua said and bowed.

“Please do not bow before me, Princess Consort. I will surely help you. But I am unable to understand what should I tell my father to meet the Princess Consort,” Huang Xi stated.

“Tell General Hei that it is related to Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua said. Huang Xi was bewildered to hear her, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He told Li Hua that he would return soon to inform her about his father’s decision. Li Hua hummed and watched him going out of the chamber.

After twenty minutes, Huang Xi came to see Li Hua and told her what his father said.

“Father wants the Princess Consort to go to Xu Zifan’s residence. That’s the only place where you both can talk in peace. Father said that in the palace, the servants would see him coming here and may inform their respective masters,” Huang Xi delivered the message to his father.

“But what if Her Majesty does not permit me to leave the palace? After the incident from two days ago, it’s difficult for me to step out,” Li Hua stated.

“Her Highness can tell them that Huang Xi will escort her,” Huang Xi suggested to her.

Li Hua thought for some time and went to meet the Queen. Surprisingly, the Queen allowed her to go out. Huang Xi accompanied Li Hua with a small trope of soldiers. Li Hua arrived safely at her brother’s residence.

Feng Lao was present in the house and he was astonished to see Li Hua. He bowed at her and informed her that Xu Zifan was outside.

“When will he arrive?” Li Hua asked him.

“I do not know,” Feng Lao answered and asked her why she came out of the palace without giving a prior message. Huang Xi told him that it was urgent.

“Urgent? What happened? Is everything good?” Feng Lao asked worriedly as he glanced at Li Hua.

“Feng Lao, currently, I cannot answer you. However, I can assure you that nothing wrong happened. I want to converse with General Hei on an important matter. Promise me that you won’t tell this to Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua said.

Feng Lao was confused by her last statement. What she was up to that Lóng Wei must not know. He was curious, but Li Hua told him that she would not tell him, so he didn’t ask for further explanation.

“I won’t tell His Highness,” Feng Lao promised her.

Huang Xi told Li Hua that his father would soon arrive. He walked out of the guest room with Feng Lao to see his father. Li Hua fiddled with her fingers. “Prince Lóng Wei, forgive me for looking into your past. But it is important to end this fear of yours,” Li Hua mumbled and waited for Hei Chengxi.
