No one stopped Lóng Wei because of their anger toward him. He stepped toward Li Hua and then held her hand. He walked ahead while she followed in his footsteps. They came out of the residence. The soldier opened the carriage’s door for them. He helped Li Hua get into the carriage.

He had raised his foot to ascend the stair when he heard his elder uncle’s voice. Yu Wenyan walked up to his nephew, who turned to face him. “Thank you for coming here. I hope you will lead a healthy and happy life,” Yu Wenyan patted Lóng Wei’s shoulder. Lóng Wei did not respond and got into the carriage.

Yu Wenyan stepped back and the carriage soon vanished from his sight. Li Hua noticed that Lóng Wei was quiet. She wondered if Yu Shin scolded Lóng Wei even on her deathbed. She interlaced her fingers with Lóng Wei’s who peered at her.

Lóng Wei smiled at her and looked outside the window. Li Hua rested her head on his shoulder and moved closer to him.

“Are you sleepy?” Lóng Wei asked her.

“No. I wanted to stay like this,” Li Hua replied and kept her eyes open. After staying silent for a while, she decided to ask him about his conversation with his grandmother.

“Did Grandmother talk well with His Highness?” She asked him.

“Yes. She is not angry at me anymore. I told her the reason why I killed my mother. Since it is her last time, I thought that she must know the truth,” Lóng Wei stated.

.....

“Then?” Li Hua asked as she wanted to know if he apologized to his grandmother or not.

“She handed me something which my mother had left for me,” Lóng Wei asserted. Li Hua promptly lifted her head and looked at him with inquisitiveness.

“Why did His Highness not tell me earlier?” She suddenly turned angry.

Lóng Wei shifted on his seat to face her. “I was contemplating, Li Hua. I think the fight is going to be tough. I am again in a dilemma and confusion. To end those negative things, I have to find Qizhen quickly.” He explained Li Hua a little vaguely. She wanted to know more, but Lóng Wei asked her to give him time.

“I need to bring my thoughts to a definite place first before taking any step,” Lóng Wei explained to her.

Li Hua nodded her head and asked him not to hide anything from her. She was worried for Lóng Wei because she knew he had found out something big this time.

Qiu Mu put the scroll on the table when a soldier informed him about the Prime Minister’s daughter’s visit. He knitted his brows and asked him where Cha Ying was.

“In the manor, General Mu,” the soldier answered.

Qiu Mu pushed the chair back and stood up. He left for his manor to see Cha Ying. Soon, he reached the pavilion in his manor, where Cha Ying was waiting for him. She was on a chair.

Qiu Mu descended the two stairs and went to the pavilion. Cha Ying stood up from the chair as she saw him and bowed at him. Qiu Mu also returned her greetings.

“Please have a seat, Miss Cha,” Qiu Mu said.

“After His Highness,” Cha Ying replied.

Qiu Mu sat first, followed by Cha Ying. She apologized to him for disturbing him this way in the middle of his work.

“However, it was necessary for me. I will not beat around the bushes, Prince Mu. His Highness knows well how the last time the Crown Prince rejected me and found someone else. So, I would like to know from Prince Mu if he will marry me or if he also dislikes me,” Cha Ying stated.

“I never disliked Miss Kang. I accepted this marriage proposal with heart, so it means that I want to marry her only,” Qiu Mu answered.

Cha Ying smiled to hear him and thanked him for finding her suitable.

Qiu Mu asked her if she would like to drink the tea. But she refused politely saying she would not waste the precious time of Prince Qiu Mu.

“Miss Cha hasn’t wasted my time. She must have found out from her father that an enemy has appeared, so I am only busy looking for him,” Qiu Mu explained to her.

“Prince Mu works hard,” Cha Ying answered and picked up a bamboo tiffin box from the chair beside her. She placed it on the table and pushed it in Qiu Mu’s direction.

“I have made some dishes and sweets for Prince Mu. I hope he will like it,” Cha Ying said with a lot of expectations.

Qiu Mu was astonished for a second. He thanked her for preparing dishes and sweets for him. “Why don’t we eat it together? It is almost lunchtime,” Qiu Mu suggested to her.

Cha Ying curled her fingers as she heard the word lunchtime. Last time she had lunch with Xiaoming, who rejected her after that. Qiu Mu noticed the slight frown on her forehead and asked her if she was not comfortable eating with him.

“No, Your Highness,” Cha Ying promptly replied.

“Then, why are those lines of worry on Miss Kang’s forehead?” Qiu Mu questioned.

Cha Ying didn’t refrain from being honest with Qiu Mu and told him about her slight fear that developed because of her previous experience.

“I liked Miss Cha... Always. I would have loved to see her as the Crown Princess. However, I have heard from one old monk: that couples are decided by Heaven. I think Miss Cha was always destined for me,” Qiu Mu stated with a bright smile.

Cha Ying’s heart fluttered to hear his words. She never expected to hear such words from any man, especially from a prince, after Xiaoming’s rejection. She smiled and nodded her head at him.

Qiu Mu stood up and carried the tiffin box. “Please come with me,” Qiu Mu said and they both left for his chamber to have their lunch.

As they settled around the floor table, Cha Ying helped the maidservant in setting the food on the table. Once they completed that work, Qiu Mu dismissed the maidservant.

Cha Ying handed him the chopstick and he began eating. She waited for him to answer about the food taste. “I do not know whether the food is up to His Highness’ taste or not,” she hesitantly said.

“It is delicious, Miss Cha,” Qiu Mu said and asked her to begin eating. Cha Ying turned happy to hear that and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Soon, they finished eating and Cha Ying stacked the boxes of the tiffin box before closing it. She kept it aside and saw Qiu Mu had a curious gaze at her.

“Does Prince Mu want to say something?” Cha Ying questioned him.

“I want to give something to Miss Kang,” Qiu Mu asserted and looked at his wrist. The thick silver bracelet that he always wore around his left wrist, he removed it.

Cha Ying astonishingly looked at him when he asked her to forward her left hand. She extended her left hand out to him. Qiu Mu made her wear that bracelet and said, “It is precious to me as my father gifted me this when I won against the Northern Kingdom. This amulet carries luck for me,” he told her.

“Then, His Highness must keep it to himself,” Cha Ying stated.

“I believe that Miss Kang will be my amulet from now on,” Qiu Mu said and held her hand gently while caressing it. Cha Ying felt warm and knew that Qiu Mu would keep her happy.
