She glanced at Feng Lao, who was walking by the palanquin’s side. She had faith that he would save her. She had trust in his sword and his skills.

Feng Lao looked at her for a brief moment and fear once again engulfed him. He had promised Lóng Wei that he would not do anything which would impact Li Hua in any way. His grip around the hilt tightened and he looked straight.

The locals tried to peek in as the palanquin passed through the route which connected to the main market. Li Hua put the curtain down and sat back. She took out the dagger that Lóng Wei once showed her. He had told her that Yuze gifted him when he turned sixteen. It was a special dagger to him. She picked it from his chamber for her safety.

The palanquin stopped soon and her personal maidservant informed her that they had reached outside the market. Li Hua stepped out of the palanquin and saw the people had gathered to take a look at her. She felt awkward when one of the soldiers told them not to crowd the place. Li Hua heard a few people say that they were surprised to see Prince Lóng Wei’s wife. The faint voices of people kept falling into her ears as she walked ahead.

She wanted Lóng Wei to be by her side so that people would see his caring and loving side. She promised herself that she would come with Lóng Wei someday to the market.

She continued to walk ahead while the soldier told her about the direction, where the market center was located. Li Hua focused on her surroundings too. The tall buildings were something new for her. When she had first come to this place, she could not focus on those structures. That time all she cared about was entering the palace.

“Your Highness, we are closer to the market center,” Feng Lao said in a low voice that was audible to her. She narrowly gazed at her and took a deep breath.

“Your Highness, please come to my shop. I will show you the best garments in the kingdom,” one of the garment sellers approached her when the chief soldier asked him to get out of the way. He had to work on the command and got away from the way. Li Hua saw the few men ahead of her on the left side of the walkway, who was whispering something amongst each other while looking at us.

.....

Her eyes fell on Kang Huijuan, who was one of those men. Her blood boiled to see him and she averted her gaze from him.

“I just pray that the Princess Consort does not become the prey of any accident.”

Li Hua came to a halt when she heard Kang Huijuan’s words. She glanced in his direction and so did Feng Lao. Kang Huijuan walked up to Li Hua but still was a few meters away from her. He bowed at her and then he looked into her eyes. That look was creepy in Li Hua’s eyes. She glared at him and asked him if the punishment was not enough for him.

“It was more than enough, Your Highness,” Kang Huijuan said and again took step towards her. The soldiers did not stop him because he was the prime minister’s son. He almost covered the distance between him and Li Hua when Feng Lao stood in front of her.

“Step back,” Feng Lao said with a stern tone while beaming at Kang Huijuan. “Be within your limits,” he said with a stern tone.

“So, Prince Lóng Wei has left you behind to protect his wife,” Kang Huijuan chuckled and tilted his head a little. He could see Li Hua’s face from over Feng Lao’s shoulder.

“Princess Consort, His Majesty is returning my position soon to me. Too bad for you, isn’t it? Prince Lóng Wei had thought that I would be powerless all my life, but he forgot that my father is close to the King,” Kang Huijuan said with a smirk. He lowered his eyes and then walked away.

Li Hua quickly stepped ahead of Feng Lao and said, “Kang Huijuan, no matter how the bigger position you get in the kingdom, everyone is well aware of your nature. You wrongly accused Prince Lóng Wei, who saved the life of the woman, who is now your wife,” Li Hua pronounced in a loud enough voice. She did not want to stay quiet. Because she was in a place, where many eyes were on them, people would be aware of his true nature.

Kang Huijuan stopped in his steps and a grim look appeared on his face. He turned to look at Li Hua and then, looked at the people around him.

“His Majesty may take his decision back if he found out that you again started to show off among people,” Li Hua did not refrain from the telling the truth of his true nature. “You should be thankful to Prince Lóng Wei, who forgave you despite how you tried to accuse him again. The entire palace is the witness of that,” Li Hua stated with an amusing smile on her lips.

Kang Huijuan clenched his fists tightly which Li Hua noticed. “I know you will take this anger out on someone else now. Torturing the weak is the only thing that you can do,” Li Hua’s statement irked Kang Huijuan. “I wonder if Kang Huijuan will serve the people well after gathering a government position or exploit them.”

The people looked in Kang Huijuan’s direction in disgust and whispered among themselves.

At that moment, a shooter put the arrow on the bow and directed it towards Li Hua.
