“Did Brother Lóng Wei hear him? He has accepted his crimes,” Qiu Mu said, and he glanced with annoyance at Lóng Wei.

“I don’t believe your words. You were too scared to tell me the name. Just tell me the name. I even made the King pardon the punishment of your son. If you lie to me, then I will make you kill Feng Lao,” Lóng Wei stated.

Shui Xiaoqing flickered his eyes for some time but didn’t say anything. “I am running out of patience,” Lóng Wei told Shui Xiaoqing.

“Can I get some water?” Shui Xiaoqing asked. Lóng Wei looked at the water pot and walked up to it. He filled the glass with water and handed it to Shui Xiaoqing. The shackles on his wrists clinked against each other as he held the glass of water.

Feng Lao entered the prison cell with Huang Xi and looked at Lóng Wei. He was happy to find that Lóng Wei was safe. “Your dear son is here. Tell me the name if you don’t want to kill your own son with your hands,” Lóng Wei warned him. Shui Xiaoqing drank the water first. He had been thirsty since the last day, but no one gave him water.

“Brother Lóng Wei, do you think he will tell you the name? General Hei threatened him with his entire family, but he didn’t speak a word. He is chanting only one thing-it was all planned by him,” Qiu Mu said near his ear.

Lóng Wei narrowly gazed at him. “He confessed that he knew the name. He was scared because the person was present in the palace,” he affirmed. Qiu Mu was perplexed to hear Lóng Wei’s words.

Suddenly, the metal glass fell on the floor of the prison and its sound reverberated. Immediately, they looked at Shui Xiaoqing, who had kept his hands on his neck.

.....

“Father!” Feng Lao ran to his father and caught him. Thus, he prevented his father from falling. “Father! Father!” Feng Lao shouted, while Lóng Wei quickly got on his knees and asked him to tell him the name.

Shui Xiaoqing tightly held Lóng Wei’s hand, making it seem as if he was trying hard to say something.

“K-” the only word Shui Xiaoqing could manage to speak.

“What?” Lóng Wei asked him to complete his sentence. However, Shui Xiaoqing died on the spot. His face turned blue and Feng Lao started crying.

Qiu Mu checked the water pot and shouted for the soldiers who were guarding the prison. The two soldiers rushed in when Qiu Mu shouted at them. “Who put the water in the pot?”

“I did,” the soldier on the left said.

Qiu Mu threw the water pot, and it broke into pieces. “Someone poisoned the water!” He muttered and glanced at Huang Xi first, then at Lóng Wei.

Feng Lao looked at Lóng Wei, who had checked Shui Xiaoqing’s pulse. “Should we take him to the physician?” Feng Lao was hopeful that his father was alive.

“He is no more,” Lóng Wei said and let go of Shui Xiaoqing’s hand while furrowing his brows. He stood up and walked to the soldier who filled the water pot.

He grabbed him by the collar and asked him, “Who ordered you to poison the water? Don’t you dare lie to me?” The grim expression on Lóng Wei’s face said everything. He was in the worst mood right now.The only person who knew about the enemy was dead.

Qiu Mu pulled Lóng Wei back and asked him not to act madly.

“Madly?” Lóng Wei chuckled. “You again failed to do your duty, Qiu Mu. You don’t deserve to become the General. Poison was put into the water and you don’t even have any idea about this!” He forgot that Qiu Mu was his elder brother for a few minutes.

“Lóng Wei, don’t doubt my capabilities!” Qiu Mu told him and pushed him away. Lóng Wei’s wound on the back opened and it started bleeding.

Huang Xi came in between them and asked Lóng Wei to come with him.

“Just stay away from it!” Lóng Wei yelled at Huang Xi. He clenched his fist as he didn’t understand who could be this powerful. He challenged Lóng Wei. He never defeated in anything. He found the solution to every question.

Lóng Wei walked out in anger as he had to put his thoughts together.

Huang Xi found Qiu Mu was extremely angry at Lóng Wei’s behavior. However, he could not speak about this since it was between two brothers from the royal family, and as an outsider, he had no right to speak.

Instead of returning home, Lóng Wei went to the hilltop where Yuze resided. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he could not feel the blood on his back until Yuze made him aware of this and dragged him inside the hut where he lived.

“Yuze, Shui Xiaoqing is dead. My efforts got wasted,” Lóng Wei said with a troubled look.

“Why doesn’t the prince take a seat first?” Yuze asked him and gestured to the broad chair. Yuze asked Lóng Wei to sit down when he asked him to remove his upper robe.

“Why?”

“Prince Lóng Wei’s wound is opened. It needs to be treated,” Yuze said. Lóng Wei took off his upper robe and allowed Yuze to treat him.

“Li Hua is pretty smart,” Yuze said as he applied the medicine over the wound on his back.

“You aren’t gentle like Li Hua,” Lóng Wei complained.

“Indeed, a wife cares for her husband more. So, her touch is usually gentle,” Yuze stated. He went towards the shelf and took out the bandage from the box. After Yuze dressed the wound, he asked Lóng Wei to be careful.

He washed his hands, sat on the other chair, and asked Lóng Wei to explain.

“Yuze, someone in the palace is after Li Hua’s life. I am unable to find the name. This is the first time I got defeated. We are close to the enemy’s target and I am worried,” Lóng Wei said, and gazed at Yuze, waiting for his explanation.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you have made a prediction for Li Hua as well? Did you tell someone from the palace about it?” Lóng Wei questioned Yuze.
