She left silently and thought to talk with Li Hua in a tea session when everyone was around.

Once she left, Feng Lao went to the practice place, where Li Hua was. He saw her practicing with the sword and stayed quiet. Li Hua was still new to this, so using one hand was impossible for her especially when the sword was heavy.

“Have a firm grip on the hilt,” Lóng Wei told her and she nodded her head. She held it firmly and continued to use the sword in the air. Feng Lao stepped down the patio and then, he showed her how to attack. He taught her each step. “The footwork is extremely important in this. Look at the way, I use my feet and hand,” he told her.

Li Hua keenly watched him as he showed her how he would attack the enemy before him and asked her to repeat the same step.

She did what Feng Lao did and practiced those steps at least ten times before moving to the next one. He even made her exercise so that her strength would increase. He had already talked with Xiwan to include more energy-rich food in Li Hua’s diet since it was important for her to eat nicely.

Li Hua finally took a break in noon from practice. After lunch, she had thought to practice archery for an hour at least. After changing into a royal noble lady’s dress, she sat for having lunch when her maidservant told her that Jingfei had come to see her.

Li Hua didn’t say anything and told the maidservant that she should wait outside. Li Hua was hurt by Jingfei’s actions this time and decided not to talk with her. She finished her food and was surprised to find that she ate more than the earlier times. The workout she used to do was the reason. When the table was cleaned, she asked the maidservant to send Feng Lao.

He closed the door behind him before stepping in. Getting on his several steps away from her, he waited for her to speak.

.....

“Feng Lao, I want to see Monk Yuze in the evening. I will go after an hour to see Monk Yuze,” she asserted.

“Where does the Monk live?” He asked.

“In the hills. The route is from the palace, so it is safer. Don’t worry about me,” Li Hua said and smiled at him.

“Why do you want to see the Monk?” He asked.

“Umm... I have a few questions for him. Only Monk Yuze can answer me,” she stated when they both heard the voice of the maidservant. She informed Li Hua that Monk Yuze was there.

Li Hua was surprised to learn about that. She stood up and walked out, followed by Feng Lao. As she opened the door, she found the Monk before her. She greeted him and asked him to come inside. Feng Lao also slightly bowed to see him.

Yuze read Feng Lao’s face but didn’t say anything.

“Please, come inside, Monk Yuze,” Li Hua humbly said and showed him the way inside.

He stepped in and handed the basket full of berries to Li Hua. “Prince Lóng Wei asked me to give the Princess Consort in his absence,” Yuze said and walked ahead.

A smile crept on Li Hua’s lips as she looked into the basket. She followed Monk Yuze in while Feng Lao gestured to the maidservant to close the doors. He walked in and found them talking.

“I was thinking to meet Monk Yuze in the evening. I am truly surprised by your presence,” Li Hua said.

“Since I had come to see the King, I thought to see the Princess Consort too,” Monk Yuze replied and glanced at Feng Lao.

“How have you been, Young Boy?” Yuze asked.

Young Boy?!

He wasn’t a young boy. He didn’t like the way Monk Yuze addressed him.

“I am good,” Feng Lao gave a plain answer.

“Your face and eyes say otherwise,” Yuze stated. “You have not been taking proper sleep,” he added.

Li Hua looked at him.

“Monk Yuze is assuming,” Feng Lao stated.

“I never assume,” Yuze replied with a smile. “Prince Lóng Wei did take the right decision of not taking your life. A good person must be forgiven,” he added.

Feng Lao faltered at his words.

A good person? Was he?

He had not heard this for a long time. He thought he became evil to keep his family safe and forgot that somewhere Li Hua and her brother would be suffering.

“Monk Yuze, I would like to ask you something,” Li Hua said.

Feng Lao came out of his thoughts and glanced at Li Hua, wondering what she could probably have to talk about.

“Of course,” Monk Yuze said with a smile.

“The Queen has set a trap for me to kill me. Should I respond to her? Is it the right time to expose her real face or should I let it go because she’s someone’s mother?”

Li Hua didn’t want Xiaoming and Jingfei to suffer after Zhu Liling’s act was exposed. Children had a deep impact on their minds because of their fathers and mother. She didn’t want it to happen. That’s why she again contemplated if she should expose her or keep it between them.

“If the wrong person is forgiven numerous times, he takes it for granted. Don’t be afraid of the consequences because the Queen will bear them,” Monk Yuze advised her. He asked her to go ahead with the right mind and right thoughts.

“It is astonishing to find that Prince Lóng Wei hardly takes my advice on such matters. However, his wife considers my opinion in her quest to turn everything better. I am glad about that,” Monk Yuze said.

“Monk Yuze’s guidance is important,” Li Hua answered.

“I want to ask Monk Yuze about something,” Li Hua stated, who allowed her to ask him.

“Can Monk Yuze tell me if the King is good or,” she paused, “he is evil? Is he the reason for all this?” She asked.

Feng Lao wondered why Li Hua asked such a thing. Why did she suspect the King?

“Princess Consort knows the history. She needs to think herself instead of asking me,” Yuze stated. Li Hua had doubts on Qiu Zedong after what he did to Yu Jun and his elder brother. She decided to take him as the evil person, who was related to Lóng Wei’s traumatic childhood and teenage days.
