Chapter 374



“I have no idea how I will stay away from you,” Lóng Wei said, and he caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. He touched his forehead with hers and closed his eyes. “Don’t let yourself get hurt in any way,” he said.

“I won’t,” Li Hua said, and their noses touched. They stayed in that position for a while until they moved closer to each other for a kiss. It was gentle and short. “Travel safely and do not fight with your elder brothers,” Li Hua advised him.

“What if they make me angry?” Lóng Wei inquired.

“Then, the prince has to let it go,” she stated.

“Fine. Feng Lao will guard you all the time, and he will stay in the manor. I could only ask for his help at this time. Do not cry in my absence. I will get hurt there. Our heartstrings are connected. Do not do anything that will make the King punish you and do not be adamant if Feng Lao refuses to take you to a place, where you are not supposed to go,” Lóng Wei made her understand. Li Hua nodded her head.

He hugged her once again for a minute and then they left for the imperial gates.

Upon reaching there, they found everyone from the royal family was present. Lóng Wei recalled how he was sent to the cold palace and no one would be there. This was the first time he had gone for the kingdom’s work. He felt a sudden happiness and saw Yuze, who was smiling and saying something to Xiaoming.

Lóng Wei and Li Hua greeted their elders. Li Hua stood next to Liu Jin Yu while Lóng Wei stood next to Tianjie. Qiu Zedong hugged his three sons and asked them to return safely.

.....

“Take care of Lóng Wei as he is the youngest. Do not fight with your brothers, Lóng Wei,” the King told them.

“I won’t fight,” Lóng Wei said, and he glanced at Yuze.

“It is the time when the princes should leave so that they will reach Kharlan before the evening,” Hei Chengxi said and looked at the soldier, who opened the carriage’s door for the princes.

“Go then,” Qiu Zedong ordered them.

Zhu Liling told the princes to take care of themselves. Concubine Huan Bi waved at Tianjie, who gave her a tiny smile. “Do not worry about me. I will be fine,” Tianjie told his mother. Li Hua looked at Huan Bi, who had tears in her eyes. She realized that Tianjie’s coldness towards his mother had lessened. She felt happy to see that.

“Li Hua, take care,” Lóng Wei told her before he got into the carriage. Li Hua recalled that she had made some sweets for them and asked Huang Xi to wait for a few minutes. She had to give something to the princes.

“What is it that you want to give? They may be late,” Qiu Zedong said.

“Your Majesty,” Li Hua replied, “I prepared some sweets for them to eat on the way.” He gestured to her to leave, and she thanked him. After five minutes, she returned and found that everyone had left except Liu Jin Yu and Hei Chengxi. She gasped for air and then went towards Huang Xi. She handed him the box, which was covered in green silk fabric.

“Eat it together.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Huang Xi took the box from her. He then put it in the second carriage. Huang Xi took the blessings of his father before he hopped on a horse and then instructed the chauffeur to drive the carriage. Lóng Wei opened the window from his side and peeked out.

He was stunned to see Li Hua and gestured to her to go in. She nodded, and the carriage started to move.

“Jin Yu, take care of my Li Hua,” Lóng Wei loudly said, not thinking that she was now the Crown Princess.

“I will. You take care of my husband,” Liu Jin Yu dropped the honorifics and put her hand around Li Hua.

Lóng Wei smiled as he put his head inside. Soon, the carriage vanished from their sight. Hei Chengxi went to the barracks while Liu Jin Yu left with Li Hua to the main palace.

Inside the carriage, Tianjie asked Lóng Wei why he did not address the Crown Princess with the title.

“Because I always called the Crown Princess by her name,” he stated. “Does the Crown Prince have any problem with that?” he asked and waited for Xiaoming’s response.

“I do not have any problem. However, he must not call her name when the other people are around,” Xiaoming advised him. He was upset that he could not get the time to spend with Liu Jin Yu.

“Lóng Wei, your wife talked with my mother a few days ago. It seems she wanted to know about your mother,” Tianjie said.

Xiaoming looked at Lóng Wei with inquisitiveness.

“Did you not tell her about your mother?” Tianjie asked him.

“Why are you bringing it up out of nowhere?” Lóng Wei interrogated him.

“I could not get the time to ask about it earlier. It is the first time, we have been together like this,” Tianjie proclaimed.

“I refuse to answer,” Lóng Wei replied.

Tianjie chuckled, and his reaction did not appeal to Lóng Wei. He was annoyed and wanted to throw Tianjie out of the carriage, but he could not do that.

“Your wife might try to find out about your mother behind your back. When she knows what kind of woman your mother was-” Tianjie paused as Xiaoming asked him to stop.

“We are not supposed to discuss all this,” Xiaoming said, and asked him not to bring up the topic anymore.

Tianjie apologized, but he knew that Lóng Wei was bothered about it, and his mind would not be able to get off that. He smiled internally to see that.
