“It seems Prince Lóng Wei was waiting for us,” Kang Xi said, rubbing his hands together in nervousness.

“Yes. Today, the King will announce the punishment for Kang Huijuan. I must save him, No?” Lóng Wei was having fun with his reactions. He applied the salts to his wounds to burn him with anger.

“Thank you, Your Highness. I am grateful for your benevolent kindness,” Kang Xi said with a wide smile. They started to walk towards the imperial court when Lóng Wei told him to return his favor in the court.

“What do I have to do?” Kang Xi inquired. He was ready to help Lóng Wei in every way.

“Bring the ministers in my support in the court. I will be the next Governor of Qinping today. But before that I need the support of the ministers,” Lóng Wei said, carrying a menacing expression. Kang Huijuan, who was walking behind them, was shocked to hear Lóng Wei.

If Lóng Wei became the Governor, everything would be ruined. Lóng Wei would get authority over more people, and he would always suppress them.

Kang Xi was shocked to find that the King was ready to make Lóng Wei the Governor. But, how? He could not either refuse him because the dignity of the Kang Family was at stake.

“That will be a little difficult, Your Highness,” Kang Xi didn’t want Lóng Wei to be the next Governor, so he wanted to show him that no one would be at his side, “since the majority of the ministers find Prince Lóng Wei as incapable.”

.....

Kang Xi chuckled when he heard Lóng Wei’s words.

“I believe that I am more capable than most of the ministers in the Kingdom,” Lóng Wei asserted. “Your son knows it better. I have such dark secrets with me, which hardly anyone can have,” he added.

“If His Highness had informed me yesterday, then I would have made prior requests to the ministers,” Kang Xi stated while keeping a tiny smile on his lips.

“Hmm. Fine. If you cannot help me, then there’s nothing I should help you with,” Lóng Wei said and walked ahead when Kang Xi grabbed his arm.

“Your Highness, please don’t act this way. I will do it. I will support His Highness and ask other ministers too,” Kang Xi started to plead with him. Lóng Wei told him to let him go.

“You have lost your chance, Kang Xi,” Lóng Wei stated, and asked him to let go of his arm. “The servants are looking at us,” he said.

Kang Huijuan chuckled at that sight. Lóng Wei forced his father to beg. He had never imagined that one day in his life, Lóng Wei would have more authority than them.

“Your Highness, please forgive me for acting na?vely,” Kang Xi said.

“You don’t look good while begging, Kang Xi. Fine. I will forgive you for the last time. Help me in the court and I will help your son,” Lóng Wei affirmed, and for a brief second, he glanced at Kang Huijuan.

Lóng Wei went ahead and told them they could come later.

Kang Huijuan stood by his father’s side. “Father, did you see how high Lóng Wei is flying? You don’t need to worry about anything. He has nothing against me, so don’t let him be the Governor. We will be ruined if he becomes the Governor.” Kang Hujian had burned Wu Jin’s place the last day, so there would be nothing against him. He wasn’t scared of anything. There were no records of that servant remaining that indicated whether she had ever worked in the Kang residence.

Kang Xi asked his son to shut his mouth. “Because of your foolishness, I have to see this day. Can’t you see that Prince Lóng Wei now holds more power than we do? If we do anything against his wish, he will not spare us. Don’t do anything stupid in the imperial court. Apologize for the wrong that you have done. Prince Lóng Wei would handle the rest of the matter,” Kang Xi reprimanded his son before making him understand what he would say in the Court.

Kang Huijuan clenched his fists. He was not willing to do any such thing, but for his father he would.

‘I will make sure to kill Li Hua. She is the one who brought this matter before the king. If Li Hua dies, Lóng Wei’s wings will cut and he will longer be like this.’ Kang Huijuan knew that Li Hua was Lóng Wei’s weakness. To throw Lóng Wei out of his way, Li Hua must die.

Soon, they reached the imperial court, where the ministers were already present. Kang Huijuan became aware of the strange stares directed at him when his gaze was drawn to Lóng Wei, who was smiling.

He stood behind his father while lowering his hand and suppressing his anger. As the King entered, the slight rumblings in the court also died down.

“How is Prime Minister Kang Xi? Is he well?” Qiu Zedong asked.

“Your Majesty, I am a little better. Thank you for asking,” Kang Xi answered.

“Then, we shall proceed,” Qiu Zedong stated.

“As you can all see today, my youngest son, Prince Lóng Wei, is also present in the imperial court. It must be shocking for all the ministers present here,” Qiu Zedong said as he brightly smiled.

“Prince Lóng Wei found out who attacked the Crown Prince and it was revealed to all of you. We all thought that the prince was always creating trouble, but we could never find that he was talented like the other princes. Prince Lóng Wei is ready to serve the kingdom and I have decided to give him the governorship of Qinping,” Qiu Zedong announced his decision.

Xiaoming and Mingquan were happy for Lóng Wei, while the other three princes weren’t happy.

“Your Majesty, pardon me, but in my opinion, Prince Lóng Wei doesn’t qualify to be the Governor,” Minister Zhou Ling objected to the decision of the King and a few others supported him.

Hei Chengxi glanced at Lóng Wei, who looked calm to him.

“I am with the decision of the King. Prince Lóng Wei deserves the position of Governor,” Hei Chengxi stated, supporting Lóng Wei.

Lóng Wei was astonished by Hei Chengxi’s support for him. He didn’t understand why Hei Chengxi supported him. He used to reprimand Lóng Wei when he was a child and made mistakes.
