After their father died at a young age, Ye Yujin was the one, who took care of his siblings with utmost care. His promises were never void. He fulfilled his promise to Zhu Liling by making her the Queen.

Zhu Liling was unable to understand how Ye Yujin died. She had sent him to kill Li Hua, but the opposite happened. Even the caught assassins didn’t tell the King that Zhu Liling tried to kill Li Hua. Her brother didn’t let her name get ruined even with his death.

The question that had lingered in her head was if Qizhen had returned because this was what Ye Yujin had mentioned in his last message when she demanded the answers from the Queen.

She stepped back from the tomb and her eyes landed on Li Hua. Now, she had nothing to do with her. If she had not asked for her brother’s help, he would have been alive before him. She was even unable to meet the gaze of Ye Yujin’s wife and three sons.

After the ceremony ended, everyone left for the palace while Ye Yujin’s family headed to their home.

Li Hua when entered her chamber saw Feng Lao, who had been waiting for her. “What happened? You looked upset,” Feng Lao stated.

“How could Her Majesty be so selfish that she didn’t admit the truth of her crimes?” Li Hua questioned.

Feng Lao suddenly realized even his family was that kind of person. He was also that type.

.....

“It wasn’t meant for you,” Li Hua clarified to him. Feng Lao raised his head and met her gaze. “Your circumstances were different,” she added.

“The Queen loves her position more than anything. That is why she didn’t accept the truth of her crimes,” Li Hua deduced and told Feng Lao. That was the most reasonable answer in their eyes. She looked at his palm and found blood on it.

“Did you not dress it again?” Li Hua concernedly questioned and walked up to him. Feng Lao looked at his hand and told her that he almost forgot that he had to go to the royal infirmary.

“I will do. Sit here,” Li Hua said and looked towards the floor table. She went away while Feng Lao didn’t take a seat. When Li Hua returned and asked him why he was not seated, his response didn’t surprise her.

“I cannot sit until the Princess Consort does.”

Li Hua smiled and gestured to him to sit while she sat next to him. She placed the first-aid box on the floor table and opened it. She removed the bandage from his hand and put it on the table. She called for the maidservant and asked her to bring the water into a vessel.

“You didn’t have to trouble yourself,” Feng Lao said while being informal with her.

“It is not a trouble,” Li Hua said and checked the medicines. She took out the tiny porcelain jar and opened the tiny lid from above it. She smelled it first and then, recognizing that scent, she decided to use that medicine on the wound.

The maidservant put the vessel with water on the table. Li Hua thanked her and used a clean cotton cloth. The maidservant told Li Hua that she would do it, who allowed her. After the cloth was wrenched in water, Li Hua gently cleaned it with water.

“You need to take care of your body. If you will ignore such wounds, then they will turn into bigger ones,” Li Hua stated.

She blew the air over the wound. “I won’t risk your life ever like this,” she said as she briefly glanced at him before picking up the tiny porcelain bottle. She sprinkled the powder over the wound. The maidservant handed her the bandage and wrapped it around Feng Lao’s hand.

She tied the tiny knot on the side of his hand, and then closed the first-aid box. The maidservant took away the vessel while Li Hua put the box in its place.

Feng Lao looked at his hand and smiled. This care he earned from Li Hua after such a long time. But it wasn’t the same care as before. He understood that and knew in her eyes, he was a close friend of Xu Zifan.

“Your Highness, your food is here,” Xiwan walked into the chamber when Feng Lao stepped up from the chair. Xiwan passed him a smile and set the floor table. The meals were normal today because the capital was mourning Ye Yujin’s death.

Li Hua returned and thanked Xiwan for yesterday’s help. “Her Highness shall eat her breakfast,” he said and left the chamber. Feng Lao told Li Hua that he would be outside for some time.

“Go and see my brother. Have meals with him. Do not worry about me. I have protectors around me,” Li Hua said, “it is not an order, but a request.”

“But I have been ordered by your husband to be around you all the time,” he affirmed.

“Trust my words. You can return by this evening,” Li Hua stated.

Feng Lao shook his head. “I will call Xu Zifan here. More than your request, your husband’s command is important to me. You should do your breakfast. I will go to my room,” he asserted and left the chamber.

As he came out of the chamber, he encountered Kang Huijuan. He drew his brows together and asked him why he was there.

“I want to see the Princess Consort,” Kang Huijuan said.

“You are not allowed to meet her,” Feng Lao stated and asked him to leave.

“Who are you to stop me?” Kang Huijuan was in a mood to fight with Feng Lao. “Is it possible that the Princess Consort had kept two men for her?” He questioned with a smirk on his face.

The next second, he was smacked in the head and he fell to the ground.
