Xu Guang Li bowed to Qiu Zedong, who had stepped out of the carriage. Behind him was standing General Ye Yujin. “Please this way, Your Majesty,” Guang Li said and they walked in.

In the guest chamber, after the King took his seat, Xu Guang Li settled on the broad chair. His wife, Lady Chu Chu, brought the tea with the servant’s hand and after greeting the king, she served the tea to them.

Qiu Zedong sipped the tea and placed the teacup on the saucer. “Your Majesty, the arrangement for your stay has been done,” Guang Li informed the King.

“I would have stayed here, Xu Guang Li, but I will be staying in the Governor’s residence,” Qiu Zedong affirmed.

Guang Li smiled and nodded his head. He looked at his wife, who spoke this time, “Your Majesty, we have prepared the food for everyone. We will feel blessed if you all have lunch here,” Lady Chu Chu said.

“Why not? We will have our lunch here, then,” Qiu Zedong said with a smile. “I would like to have a conversation with Xu Guang Li,” he asserted. Lady Chu Chu stood up from her seat and bowed to the King. She left and the doors were closed after her.

Lady Chu Chu was instructing the servants when young Li Hua came to her mother with a small bamboo basket in her hand. “Mother, I picked these flowers from the garden,” Li Hua said.

Chu Chu caressed her daughter’s head and asked her to play in her room. “Mother is busy at the moment. The King has come here. Do not go near the guest room,” Chu Chu told her daughter and asked the servant to send Li Hua to her room. She walked away while Li Hua left with the servant.

.....

However, in the middle of her way to the room, Li Hua halted and asked for food from the servant. “I am hungry,” Li Hua stroked her hand above her belly.

“I will bring some snacks for the young miss,” the servant said and asked Li Hua to go to the room before leaving for the kitchen.

Instead of going to her room, young Li Hua went to see the guests. When her mother said that the King had come, her curiosity to see the King increased.

She didn’t go from the front door but from the back door of the guest room as she didn’t want to get caught.

Li Hua put the bamboo basket down and jumped over the window to get inside. With her small legs, she finally climbed through the window.

Li Hua was curious to know what a King looked like. She had heard from her brothers how they wanted to serve the King when they would be adults. They would tell her how the King won the wars as he was once a great general of the Kingdom.

She stayed in the corridor of the backside of the guest room when she heard the voice of her father.

“Father!” She mumbled with excitement and a smile formed on her tiny lips.

“Why didn’t Xu Guang Li inform me about the prophecy about his daughter? Does he not know he has betrayed me by hiding such a big matter?” The King asked. Li Hua frowned when she found that someone was scolding her father. However, she pondered over the king’s words.

“Your Majesty, forgive me about it. I don’t want my daughter to ever marry in to the royal family. Moreover, I do not believe in prophecies,” Xu Guang Li put forward his strong beliefs and views in front of the King.

“I also want the same. I do not want your family to be involved with the royal family. I had to make a special visit to Xinshui to meet Xu Guang Li for this matter. Make sure your daughter marries as soon as she touches the age of eighteen,” Qiu Zedong said with a stern tone.

“What are you doing here?” A soldier asked Li Hua, who had heard the conversation between Qiu Zedong and her father.

He dragged Li Hua to the front, who asked him to leave her. General Ye Yujin came out to see and saw a young girl with the soldier.

Xu Guang Li also came out to check. “Li Hua! That’s my daughter,” Guang Li told the soldier and asked him to let her go.

Guang Li got on his knees and asked his daughter what she was doing there.

“I wanted to see the King, Father,” Li Hua said in her innocent voice.

Guang Li smiled a little. “It is not easy to meet the King,” he said and told her to go to her room.

At that moment, Qiu Zedong came out of the room. Li Hua looked at the tall figure of the King and kept staring at him.

Guang Li stood up and bowed his head. “Please forgive my daughter for her innocence, Your Majesty,” Guang Li apologized on behalf of Li Hua.

Qiu Zedong smiled and told Guang Li that he didn’t have to apologize. “What is your name?” He asked Li Hua.

“It is Li Hua, Your Majesty.” “You are so tall. Did you win all the battles?” She asked curiously with shimmering eyes. Since she was young, she didn’t know how to talk to the King.

Qiu Zedong got on his knee and smiled at Li Hua. “Xu Guang Li’s daughter is brave,” he said and stroked his hand over Li Hua’s head. She saw the scar on the King’s hand and asked about it.

“I got it during a battle,” Qiu Zedong replied.

Li Hua continued to stare at the King when her father intervened and again apologized.

“Li Hua still does not know how to speak well,” Guang Li said and told the King that he would send Li Hua away.

Qiu Zedong hummed and stood up. Li Hua left with her father. However, before leaving, she kept her gaze on that scar.

Present time:

“The King knew that Monk Yuze had made a prophecy for me. He never wanted us to be together. Since I was four years old at that time, I forgot about it with time,” Li Hua said.

“I am unable to understand why the King has to kill my family.” She furrowed her brows together and lowered her head.

However, Lóng Wei understood. Li Hua’s family underwent that tragic fate because of him. He approached her and Qiu Zedong found out about it. Qizhen had told him that it was the King’s doing, but the reason was still unclear to him.

But now, he knew the reason too. Qiu Zedong never wanted Lóng Wei to come out of the cold palace. He wanted Lóng Wei to keep making mistakes and never think of his future. That was why he never wanted Li Hua to be Lóng Wei’s bride.

Lóng Wei hugged Li Hua which perplexed her. She didn’t say anything and placed her hands on his back.

“I will fulfill my promise to you,” Lóng Wei said.

“I know. I want Prince Lóng Wei to include me in his plans too. Because it is my fight too. I beg him,” Li Hua asserted.

Lóng Wei pulled away and gazed into her orbs. “What do you want to do? I cannot let you fight with him,” he affirmed.

“But I can fight with him along with you,” Li Hua stated.

Lóng Wei hummed and told her that he would surely include her in his plans.
