She bowed to see the King, who halted his steps. Eunuch Gao Bing and the other maidservants stopped behind Qiu Zedong.

“What are you doing at this hour?” Qiu Zedong inquired.

“Your Majesty, I was at Princess Jingfei’s place,” Li Hua replied in her humble tone.

Qiu Zedong slightly tilted his head to look at Gao Bing. “Tell the servants to leave,” the King ordered the eunuch.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Gao Bing instructed the maidservants to head to the King’s manor, who left silently. Li Hua wondered why the King sent those maidservants away.

“I am surprised that Lóng Wei finally understood his duties. However, you have to keep him safe,” Qiu Zedong said. Li Hua lifted her head and peered at him.

“Prince Lóng Wei will bring those faces to light who once were against him and abused him. However, I do not want him to create enemies. You have to guide him well. Since , Prince Lóng Wei only listens to you,” Qiu Zedong affirmed.

“I understand, Your Majesty,” Li Hua said.

.....

“Did Lóng Wei tell you why he killed his mother?” The King once again landed on the matter which was the most important task he had once handed to Li Hua.

“I am afraid, Your Majesty, but the Prince asks me not to let it remain buried,” Li Hua answered. “Your Majesty, in my opinion, the past shall remain in the past. If His Highness doesn’t want to tell the reason, then it must be because his mother never treated him the way a child should be,” she asserted. She respected Lóng Wei’s privacy. It was a part of his life that he didn’t want to share with anyone.

“Concubine Jun was a nice lady. His conflict with her own son could not arise for no reason. You should try to find out about it. It will help Lóng Wei to move forward. I know that he is guilty of his act and will always remain,” Qiu Zedong stated. Li Hua was perplexed to learn some more facts from the King.

“Monk Yuze visited me in the evening. He told me an interesting fact about you,” Qiu Zedong stated. “I want to see if what he said was true or not,” he added.

Li Hua wondered what Monk Yuze would have told the King.

“Your Majesty, may I request something?” Li Hua asked.

“Sure,” Qiu Zedong allowed her.

“Your Majesty, I want a tiny celebration for Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua requested. Gao Bing slightly lifted his head to glance at her.

“Celebration for?” Qiu Zedong looked amused by her request.

“Prince Lóng Wei became the Governor and his relationship with his brothers has improved too. I request His Majesty to make a small announcement for the celebration for his sons who all are now carrying their respective responsibilities,” Li Hua said while keeping a tiny smile on her lips.

“This seems great. All of my sons are now in the government and carrying out their respective responsibilities. It is indeed an occasion to celebrate. To lighten and cheer up the moods of everyone in the palace, such celebrations are indeed necessary.” Qiu Zedong acknowledged Li Hua’s request and turned to look at Gao Bing.

“Did you hear, Gao Bing? Call Monk Yuze tomorrow. He will predict a good day for the celebration.” Qiu Zedong was suddenly delighted.

Li Hua was happy to see the King smile. She wanted Lóng Wei to experience happiness, which he had missed all these years. When he saw him smile with his entire heart, she was giddy. She wanted him to feel how important he was to the Kingdom. She didn’t want people to see him as a sinner in the royal family.

Their concentration shifted to the sound of shoes and armor. They found Governor Hei Chengxi was coming from the front. Qiu Zedong was surprised to see him. Hei Chengxi greeted the King, who asked him what he was doing in the palace at that hour.

“Your Majesty, Kang Huijuan, has accepted his crimes. He is present on the palace main ground and will testify before His Majesty,” Hei Chengxi informed the King. He was surprised to hear that. Li Hua found out that Lóng Wei didn’t wait till the next morning. She smiled proudly to hear that he had achieved his second target of the day to make Kang Huijuan admit his crimes.

“Let’s go,” Qiu Zedong said, and they left with Hei Chengxi.

On the palace ground, everyone was waiting for the King. Qiu Zedong stayed on the top of the stairs and looked at Kang Huijuan surrounded by a few soldiers. The Princes were already present. Kang Xi had also come and was standing with his head down.

Li Hua stayed near the pillar so that she would not come to notice.

However, Lóng Wei’s eyes fell on her and a smile appeared on his lips to see her.

Kang Xi came forward and knelt. He lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, I am here to apologize on behalf of my son’s wrongdoings and telling lies. Before His Majesty gives any decision, I want to say that my son will marry Xin Jue and we will accept her as the daughter-in-law of the Kang Family,” he said. This was what he found most suitable to save his son from severe punishment.

“What do you want to say, Kang Huijuan?” Qiu Zedong questioned him.

Kang Huijuan glanced at Lóng Wei and knew what he had been hiding for a long time.

“You did wrong by not telling me the true reason why Prince Lóng Wei beat you up. If you had told the truth earlier, then the severity of punishment would not be as high today,” Qiu Zedong announced. His statement showed that he would not be easy on Kang Huijuan.

“Your Majesty, pardon me for intriguing in the middle of the judgment. Why don’t we bring Xin Jue here? I would like to ask her to be the wife of my son. Xin Jue carries the heir of the Kang family. I want to rectify the mistake of my son,” Kang Xi stated.

“I don’t think Xin Jue will marry a man who tried to take her life merely because she carried the child of Kang Huijuan,” Xiaoming stated. He told the King that there was no need to bring her to the palace again. Seeing Kang Huijuan again could mentally disturb her.

“Kang Huijuan will surely marry Xin Jue because he cannot run away from his responsibility,” Qiu Zedong stated.

The Princes got perplexed at hearing the King.
