BXBX NOVEL Chapter 459 - 459 A fight with some boys
He had to lie so that no one would be suspicious of them. He could not let Qizhen meet anyone except him in the beginning. He had to ask numerous questions which might remain unanswered if another person found out about Qizhen first.
“Your Highness, please do not get harmed,” Li Hua told Lóng Wei. “Take care of yourself. I will pray for you,” she said and held his hands.
“Most importantly, do not get furious to see your father. Be respectful to him. Will His Highness do that?” Li Hua asked with apprehension.
“I will try, but it is tough for me. You know this well,” Lóng Wei didn’t give her false hopes. He knew he would not be able to control his anger the moment he met Qizhen.
Li Hua lowered her eyes and hummed. “However, I still believe that my husband’s judgment will be right. He will surely melt away to see his father,” she said and smiled at him.
They peered into each other’s eyes for a long time when Lóng Wei rested his hand on her jaw while his thumb was on her cheek. He caressed it and closed the distance between them.
He claimed her lips and her mouth enveloped his. Her hands clutched his robes from his waist while the hand on her cheek soon went to her head. He scooped it, pulling her close as they kissed for a long time.
When they withdrew, they both gasped for air. Lóng Wei drew her for a hug and closed his eyes. “Li Hua, don’t go anywhere. The last time you didn’t do good. I have my trust in you and you must trust me,” he said.
.....
“I will not do anything that will increase my husband’s worries,” Li Hua said. They stayed in that position until the carriage stopped. However, it didn’t stop outside the residence where Xu Zifan was, but in a quiet and isolated place.
“Li Hua, from here, you will go to Xu Zifan’s house. I will resume my journey from here,” Lóng Wei stated. Li Hua hummed when Lóng Wei stepped out of the carriage.
Li Hua opened the window and looked at Lóng Wei through it. He was conversing with Huang Xi. She saw Chang Shi, who would take her to Xu Zifan.
After Lóng Wei’s conversation got over, he looked at Li Hua. “Wear the veiled hat that I’ve left inside,” he said. Li Hua nodded when Lóng Wei asked her to come out. She was surprised when he told her to step out. However, she complied with his command.
Lóng Wei helped Li Hua to get out of the carriage and showed her the other one. He helped her get in and asked Chang Shi to go inside too. He bowed and went into the carriage.
The chauffeur drove the carriage to Xu Zifan’s house upon Lóng Wei’s instructions.
He then asked the chauffeur, who drove the royal carriage to drive it to Dongxing. Once it also left, Lóng Wei told Huang Xi to return. He hopped on the horse which Huang Xi had brought for him.
“Your Highness, will you be able to do that? You can take me with you,” Huang Xi stated.
“I will surely do it. Go back,” Lóng Wei stated and he soon vanished from Huang Xi’s sight.

Li Hua had never talked with Chang Shi, so she thought to ask him about his personal life.
“The Prince seems close to Chang Shi. It rarely happens,” Li Hua said.
“Prince Lóng Wei knows me for a long time, Your Highness,” Chang Shi replied.
“Oh. How long?” Li Hua asked.
“For almost fifteen years,” Chang Shi replied.
Li Hua was shocked to learn about that. She felt happy and at the same time curious about how he became Lóng Wei’s friend. She asked about Chang Shi.
“I dressed His Highness’ wound when the first time I had seen him,” Chang Shi answered. “He was injured badly after he had a fight with some boys in the capital,” He asserted.
“What? Was there no bodyguard with the Prince?” Li Hua queried.
“Not every prince gets a bodyguard, Your Highness, especially if your mother is a concubine,” Chang Shi said with a tiny smile on his lips.
“Oh.”
“Prince Lóng Wei is a thoughtful and farsighted person. From a young age, he grew up differently, so he learned quite earlier that the world is a selfish place to live. I know Her Highness is curious to know what he was in his childhood. He was not like the other child, but an adult. However, he was always a child in front of his mother whose love he always sought.” Chang Shi answered Li Hua’s many questions and she thanked him for it.
“What does your family do?” Li Hua curiously asked.
“My father was a medical doctor while my mother nursed the patients with him,” Chang Shi answered.
Li Hua realized that he also lived alone.
“How did Chang Shi learn self-defense, sword fighting, and other warfare techniques?” She asked.
“My father was a martial artist too. So, he trained me,” Chang Shi replied.
“Oh.”
She didn’t ask any more questions to Chang Shi. The rest of the journey to her brother’s home went in silence.
Xu Zifan welcomed Li Hua and took her to the inner side of the residence where she would live for five days.
Li Hua removed the veiled hat from her head and put it on the table. She looked around the room and ended up recalling her hometown. Xu Zifan had decorated it like her old room. It didn’t look the same but similar to that.
“Li Hua, drink the water,” Xu Zifan said and she nodded at him. She brought the glass close to her mouth and sipped water from it.
She placed it back on the table and thanked her brother.
“I am so happy to have you here. Make yourself comfortable. I will come back,” Xu Zifan said. Li Hua nodded and watched her brother leave the room.
