Hei Chengxi ran to his son in concern.

“Can Commander Huang Xi speak at the moment?” Qiu Zedong asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The wound isn’t deep. I can stand it,” Huang Xi replied.

“What happened here?” Qiu Zedong questioned him.

“Your Majesty, Eunuch Lishi is the one who made a plan to kill Miss Liu and the Princess Consort. He is the one who forced the man we caught t-to lie and take the Noble Consort’s na-name. I found out in the morning when I found this poison bottle with him, which he was going to give the man before he could speak the truth. When I found out about it, I decided to take Eunuch Lishi here, but he withdrew the sword and tried to k-kill me. In defence, the soldiers came forward and attacked Eunuch Lishi,” Huang Xi narrated to the King.

Qiu Zedong furrowed his brows and ordered that Eunuch Lishi’s body be dumped in the open in a faraway dumping land. Xiaoming was devastated to find that. Eunuch Lishi was with him for so many years. He had warned Lishi not to harm Liu Jin Yu, but he didn’t respect his master’s command at all.

Qiu Zedong told Gao Bing to take Huang Xi to the western palace.

“General Hei, release Noble Consort Xiuying and tell her that I will see her after the court ends,” the King ordered. Hei Chengxi bowed and went to prison to release Xiuying. Qiu Mu also left to see his mother.

“Let’s resume the court,” Qiu Zedong stated. He was troubled with the thought of why the eunuchs had become the enemies of the royals.

“Since the current matter is related to the royal family, it will be solved internally,” Qiu Zedong announced, and asked Kang Xi if he looked at the matter of the farmers. The discussions on some important matters related to the Kingdom for an hour. The ministers headed to their workplace in the administration office.

Mingquan wondered what Lóng Wei had done that frightened Eunuch Lishi and made him do that. But whatever he did, the Queen was now under Lóng Wei’s control. Mingquan smiled a little, looking at Lóng Wei.

“We shall leave too. These days, the environment of the Palace isn’t healthy,” Zhang Xi said, with a slight fear in his voice.

Lóng Wei chuckled to hear him. “There’s a saying. One who gets scared easily, he becomes the target of evil,” he remarked with a grin on his lips. Zhang Xi told Lóng Wei that he was not scared, but worried. He shook his head and left the court hall.

Lóng Wei also took his leave and went to see Huang Xi. He was wearing his upper clothes and, seeing Lóng Wei, he stopped.

“Thank you,” Lóng Wei said, and closed the doors behind him. Huang Xi wore the robes and told Lóng Wei he never lied, but with him after becoming his friend, he was saying continuous lies.

“You lied two times only,” Lóng Wei said and sat on the broad chair. “Moreover, you had promised me that you would do anything for me for this friendship,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Haha. Finally, the Prince acknowledged me as his friend,” Huang Xi scoffed at him and sat on the bed after he dressed up. “Your Highness, lying to the King is considered a treason,” he stated.

“Still you did it. Now, there is no use for whining,” Lóng Wei proclaimed.

“Why doesn’t His Highness have drinks with me tonight? He has finally considered me as his friend. So, he must come. I asked Prince Mingquan many times, but he said it’s tough to please you. “Prince Lóng Wei should have fun with his friend,” said Huang Xi.

“What about Li Hua? I cannot leave her alone,” Lóng Wei said.

“Her Highness has many servants to take care of her,” Huang Xi reminded.

“I don’t trust anyone here,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

“What about Miss Liu? Prince Mingquan told me that Prince Lóng Wei trusts her and even allows the Princess Consort to be around her. His Highness can also ask Princess Ai Fen to stay with Li Hua until you return,” he suggested to Lóng Wei.

“Fine. I will come in the evening,” Lóng Wei said. “But I don’t think that your father and mother will allow you to drink wine in this state,” he asserted.

“It’s a minor wound. I had kept in mind that the blade would not touch too deeply,” Huang Xi explained to him. He thought if he did not become adamant today, then Lóng Wei would never come to his house to drink with him.

“Hmm. I will bring Chang Shi and Prince Mingquan too.” Lóng Wei asked him if he had no problem with that. Huang Xi shook his head when they heard the sound coming out of the door. The next moment, Hei Chengxi entered in.

Huang Xi stood up to see his father. Lóng Wei also rose to his feet and thanked Hei Chengxi to support him. He bowed at him and this gesture of Lóng Wei surprised the General. “Without your help, I would not have achieved what I wanted,” Lóng Wei said. “Your son will not be injured the next time. Forgive me for risking his life,” he apologized.

He turned to leave when Hei Chengxi stopped Lóng Wei.

“Prince Lóng Wei, I was the one who brought your mother against her will to the palace. You should not hold any hatred against her anymore. She loved you. That’s why she always wanted to stay away from the palace,” Hei Chengxi said.

Huang Xi looked at his father and furrowed his brows in confusion, while Lóng Wei turned to look at Hei Chengxi.

“What should I do with this information?” Lóng Wei asked. “You are not the one to talk about her with me. Forgive me for my harsh tone,” Lóng Wei said, and walked away.

“Father, what was that about?” Huang Xi asked his father to explain.

“You don’t need to know,” Hei Chengxi asserted.
