“Is it true? Is that the reason Prince Lóng Wei killed his mother?” Feng Lao asked, with a dubious look.

“I don’t think His Highness can kill his mother. Also, it’s prohibited to talk about that,” Huang Xi told Feng Lao.

Xu Zifan recalled how Li Hua asked him to find out about Lóng Wei’s uncles. She was trying to find the truth.

“What do you say, Your Highness?” Feng Lao glanced at Mingquan.

“It will not be good if I share anything related to Brother Lóng Wei’s life. If you are curious, then you should ask him,” he advised Feng Lao. He didn’t ask any more questions, but he would love to find out who Lóng Wei was in his childhood and teenage days.

“I saw His Highness once by the riverside. He was crying. I didn’t dare go near him as he mostly ignored me and sometimes, shouted at me. I think, now I understand why he was frustrated. His mother was the reason behind that,” Huang Xi said with an upset look.

Feng Lao always misjudged Lóng Wei’s character because of the sin he committed. He was slowly realizing that he was wrong about Lóng Wei.

“A mother cannot do this to a child. The reason must be bigger,” Xu Zifan asserted.

.....

“Let’s not talk about this topic anymore. If you three are curious, then go to Brother Lóng Wei and ask him. As part of the royal family, I am not allowed to speak anything anymore on this matter,” Mingquan clearly told them.

Huang Xi glanced at Xu Zifan and asked him if he ever asked his sister.

“No, I never,” Xu Zifan replied.

“You should!” Huang Xi encouraged him.

Mingquan smiled and said, “Huang Xi, the Princess Consort will never tell Xu Zifan even if he asks. Brother Lóng Wei doesn’t like to share who he is, and if he opened up with his wife, then I can say confidently that she would never tell anything to her brother.”

“Let’s not discuss Brother Lóng Wei’s anymore,” Mingquan said and picked up the wine cup. He sipped it and wondered if Lóng Wei told Li Hua the truth about that night.

Lóng Wei was seated on the wooden railing when he heard the footsteps. He tilted his head and saw Hei Chengxi. He bowed at him and then averted his gaze from him.

“Shouldn’t the Prince be with Huang Xi and others?” He asked.

“I am here to have some air,” Lóng Wei replied, and found Hei Chengxi settling next to him.

“I am glad that the prince is communicating and making an amicable relationship with the people around him,” Hei Chengxi stated with a proud smile and looked up at the sky full of stars.

“General Hei, I have no intention of talking to you,” Lóng Wei said.

“But I won’t let Prince Lóng Wei leave today,” Hei Chengxi affirmed, and they both looked at each other, “until I tell him what I’ve wanted to, for many years. He has to listen to me because he promised me if I help him, he would fulfill my wish.”

Lóng Wei chuckled and turned his head away.

“Lady Yu Jun was not what you thought,” Hei Chengxi stated.

“I do not want to hear about her, General Hei. I do not intend to know what she was. How good she was, and how affectionate she was.” Lóng Wei stated emphatically. “She was good to everyone around her except me. That’s what I know. So, let’s not talk about her,” he stated.

Hei Chengxi found that communication with Lóng Wei was still difficult. He was still stubborn and also ignorant towards his mother.

“Your words will hurt Lady Yu,” Hei Chengxi said.

“I want this. If she can see me, and she’s around me, I want her to see how much I despise her.” Lóng Wei’s grip on the railing tightened.

“Hate her as much as you want after knowing this,” Hei Chengxi stated. “She was forced to be the King’s concubine. I brought her to the palace on your father’s order. She loved a man who was the elder brother of your father and the former King,” he told Lóng Wei.

Lóng Wei glared at Hei Chengxi and asked him why he was so desperate to tell him about the past when he had no interest. He stood up with a frustrated and irked expression on his face.

He was ready to leave when Hei Chengxi said, “Because she wanted to save you, that’s why she was cold to you.”

Lóng Wei didn’t say anything and walked away.

“Why can’t he understand what his mother went through?” Hei Chengxi muttered.

Lóng Wei walked out of the residence and looked at the guard. He barked at him and asked him where his horse was. The guard trembled in fear and told him that he would bring the horse within a minute.

“I’ll kill you if you don’t,” Lóng Wei shouted at him. Within a minute, his horse was brought there. He hopped on it and disappeared in that. However, he didn’t go to the palace but in a direction opposite the palace.

The guard had put his hand on his chest to heave a sigh when a speeding horse ran past him. He found Hei Chengxi had gone after the Prince and he wondered what was happening.

Lóng Wei accelerated the horse to full gallop. He was shocked to find that his father was the King’s elder brother.

No!

The General lied. Lóng Wei wasn’t ready to believe that his real father was Qiu Zedong’s elder brother. He didn’t want to think about it, but things were getting clearer to him. He realized why his mother wanted him to die, and this truth in itself gave him excruciating pain.
