Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 143



143 Only I can look at her

Mingquan and Huang Xi had a detailed conversation about Li Hua with Lóng Wei. He told them not to reveal about the Shui Family’s true face to Li Hua.

Lóng Wei knew that after a certain period of time, Li Hua’s identity would be revealed in the palace. The King might get angry at them for hiding it. Li Hua might get severely punished for falsifying her identity as a servant. That’s why Lóng Wei needed support, who would protect them from the King’s wrath.

After realizing that Mingquan was truly his well-wisher, Lóng Wei decided to trust him and told him everything along with Huang Xi. They both were the ones whose support he needed for a long time.

Qian He brought Li Hua and Xu Zifan to the pavilion. Lóng Wei stood up and walked to them. “I told them everything,” Lóng Wei informed them.

Mingquan and Huang Xi had also stood up from their respective seats.

Li Hua arched her brows. Nervousness swept her mind and body. Mingquan was the Fourth Prince and if he told the King, then they would be dead.

Mingquan came forward and looked at Xu Zifan, who bowed his head. Mingquan was shocked to see his right arm. The worst that could happen with him. His right arm was everything to him being a swordsman.

“I told them everything as it was important,” Lóng Wei stated and looked at Li Hua. “They are trustworthy,” he stated. Li Hua was surprised to hear him. He never trusted anyone easily.

“Xu Zifan, I am glad you are safe and alive. Brother Lóng Wei told us everything,” Mingquan said and placed his hand on his left shoulder. “I always wanted to meet you because you are one of the finest swordsmen in the Kingdom,” he stated and put his hand down.

.....

“I was, Your Highness,” Xu Zifan corrected him. His voice sounded painful.

“In my eyes, you still are. It won’t surprise me if you become proficient with your left hand too,” Mingquan encouraged him. Xu Zifan smiled and nodded his head.

“Do you remember me? I am Hei Huang Xi. Two years ago, I visited the Xu Residence with my father,” Huang Xi introduced himself while briefing them about the past. Mingquan nodded his head.

“Of course, I remember you, Huang Xi,” Xu Zifan replied. Huang Xi glanced at Li Hua.

“Princess Consort, you have grown up so much since that time. You used to be shy earlier,” Huang Xi said and smiled. Xu Zifan looked at his sister and agreed with Huang Xi’s words.

“Huang Xi, you noticed too many things,” Lóng Wei remarked and beamed at him.

“Is His Highness jealous?”

“Of course! Only I can look at her. Move away your eyes,” Lóng Wei showed his possessive side to them.

“Princess Consort is like my sister,” Huang Xi said and found that deadly stare of Lóng Wei at him. “I am clarifying to His Highness so that he will not have any misunderstanding.”

“You better not remind me that you have seen Li Hua before me,” Lóng Wei warned him. Mingquan wasn’t surprised to see Lóng Wei’s possessive side toward Li Hua. It delighted him that for Lóng Wei, at least, there was one person for whom he was ready to show normal human emotions.

“I didn’t intend to anger His Highness,” Huang Xi said.

“But you did,” Lóng Wei replied.

“I apologize. I won’t ever bring it,” Huang Xi stated, with a smile. Lóng Wei didn’t reply to him and averted his gaze.

“Li Hua, let’s go to the Xu Residence,” Lóng Wei said.

“All of us?” Li Hua gaped at him.

“Yes. Sister-in-law, we need to check it,” Mingquan said. Huang Xi agreed with him.

“It has been more than two months, so we still need to check the residence,” Huang Xi proclaimed. Li Hua nodded her head and glanced at Lóng Wei. She was still wondering what forced him to tell them the truth.

“Won’t people see us?” Xu Zifan raised a doubt.

“Isn’t the Xu Residence far from the main town center? Also, I know the route from which we can go easily without getting in anyone’s notice. Though I want people to know who we are!” Lóng Wei explained to them.

“What is cooking up in His Highness’s mind?” Li Hua squinted her eyes.

“You will like it,” Lóng Wei said and grasped her hand. “Let’s go. It is the time to go to the place which left a deep scar in your and Xu Zifan’s heart,” Lóng Wei stated and walked ahead, followed by the others.

With every step, Li Hua’s heart was thumping louder. After walking for half an hour, they came on the main path, which led them to the Xu Residence. As they approached it, Li Hua turned teary-eyed. The incident flashed in front of her eyes. Her steps slowed as she found it difficult.

Lóng Wei narrowly gazed at her before tilting his head.

“Li Hua, if you don’t want to go in, then we can return from here,” Xu Zifan said. Mingquan agreed with his words.

“No. Li Hua will go in. If she doesn’t go in today, then she can never face it,” Lóng Wei stated. Li Hua looked into his eyes, and her nose turned red. Anyone could tell that she would burst into tears at any moment.

She clutched her fingers around his hand tightly. Li Hua recalled how beautifully the residence was decorated that night. Red and yellow lanterns were hanging at each corner of the residence. Those happy, cheerful voices fell into her ears and she closed her eyes.

“Li Hua doesn’t seem in a good state,” Xu Zifan said worriedly.

Lóng Wei kept gazing at her, whose eyes were shut. “If she goes back, then it will show that she’s a coward,” Lóng Wei didn’t refrain from using a harsh tone. He provoked her. After all, she had promised him she would kill the enemy from her hands.
