Chapter 338



“No, she didn’t lie,” Lóng Wei answered on Li Hua’s behalf. “I didn’t know that the Queen had forgotten her manners. She entered here unannounced,” he remarked.

“Prince Lóng Wei is forgetting that I am the Queen. I can go anywhere at anytime unannounced,” she reminded him.

Lóng Wei stepped forward. “Except this place. You should leave as we have yet to do breakfast,” he told her. He scrunched his brows.

“Prince Lóng Wei’s behavior can land him into trouble. Princess Consort Li Hua will be punished for lying to everyone to skip the morning greetings to the elders, after she finishes her breakfast,” Zhu Liling announced and turned to leave.

“Don’t even try to do that. When I said that she was not feeling well, she was not. A human must not act high while hiding his crimes,” Lóng Wei affirmed. Zhu Liling turned to face the prince and frowned.

“Prince Lóng Wei, you are not allowed to intervene in the inner palace rules. I know by looking at the face who is telling the truth and who’s lying,” she stated and glanced at Li Hua. “Come to my manor right after finishing your meals,” she instructed Li Hua.

“Li Hua will not come,” Lóng Wei said, and continued, “I will come after having breakfast. I have a very important matter to discuss with Her Majesty.”

Zhu Liling squinted her eyes and, with inquisitiveness, glanced at Lóng Wei.

.....

“I want to talk about yesterday’s attack with Her Majesty,” Lóng Wei asserted and smirked at her.

Zhu Liling’s facial expressions changed. She wondered what Lóng Wei wanted to discuss with her.

“Her Majesty finds it easily if a person before her is lying or telling the truth. So, I want to know that from her. How to read people’s faces?!” He said this with a wide grin on his lips. Zhu Liling wondered if Lóng Wei knew anything and quickly left for her manor.

As soon as the Queen left, Lóng Wei turned to face Li Hua. “Let’s have breakfast,” he said, and he held her hand. He made her sit first, and then, he took his seat. He complimented the dishes that Li Hua made for him. His mood brightened as he ate breakfast. Li Hua felt good to see him smile.

“The Queen will not do anything to you.” He filled the glass with water. He handed it to her and asked her to drink the water.

“I know that in His Highness’ presence I cannot get punished. However, I would like to know what his highness will talk about with Her Majesty.” She asked with a worried expression.

“About the real culprit who attacked my wife,” Lóng Wei replied. Li Hua understood what he would do and asked him not to anger the Queen.

“It’s not possible, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said. “I will leave now because the court will begin soon, and before that I must do some preparations.” He rose to his feet and called in the maidservant, who immediately walked in upon hearing the voice.

“Stay here and don’t let her get worried,” Lóng Wei instructed her. Li Hua had also gotten up from her seat and told Lóng Wei not to let himself get harmed in all that. He hummed and left the chamber.

Eunuch Lishi made a face to see Lóng Wei and told him that he could go in since the Queen had allowed his entry.

As Lóng Wei stepped in, the doors closed behind him. He walked ahead and then turned. Zhu Liling was only waiting for him, and he smiled to see her. “I think this is the first time Her Majesty waited for me so eagerly,” Lóng Wei said, and he made himself comfortable on the broad mahogany chair.

“What does the Prince want to talk about regarding yesterday’s attack?” She asked. She didn’t let the fear show on her face.

“How dare you involve Li Hua in your evil plan? You wanted to get rid of Liu Jin Yu, then you should have done it without including Li Hua in all this,” Lóng Wei said with a grim look.

“Prince Lóng Wei, how dare you accuse me of something which I never did?” She asked him. “Don’t forget that you are sitting before the Queen of the Kingdom,” Zhu Liling angrily said.

“Your lies won’t work in front of me. I have evidence against you. Do you think Noble Consort Xiuying is in the prison because of some luck? Let me break the illusion of Her Majesty.”

Zhu Liling was terrified to hear his words, and her throat went dry.

“I was the one who misplaced that tassel,” Lóng Wei revealed the truth to Zhu Liling. “You should thank me that I helped you, else you would have been at her place. Your hate for Liu Jin Yu has blinded you,” he remarked.

“Prince Lóng Wei is lying.” She thought that Lóng Wei had no evidence and was merely threatening her on the pretence of having a proof.

“You executed the plan really well. I wonder what will happen when the Crown Prince finds out that his dear mother is trying to take the life of a woman whom he loves,” Lóng Wei said with a grin.

“What does Prince Lóng Wei want?” Zhu Liling asked.

“To tell everyone what she is!” Lóng Wei stated. “Accept the truth in front of everyone before I reveal it,” he suggested to her.

Zhu Liling shook her head. “I will give anything that Prince Lóng Wei wants. I will not punish Li Hua and will always support her. Please don’t do this,” she requested, and sweat appeared on the temples of her forehead.

“Indeed, you should do thar. However, I won’t be satisfied with this, Your Majesty,” Lóng Wei stated.

“What does the Prince want? I will give him anything he wants,” she promised him.

Lóng Wei smirked and acknowledged her request. “Fine. I want the support of the Queen and her brothers. Will she be able to give it? Also, she has to put the blame on Eunuch Lishi. Will she be able to do it?” He asked and waited for her answer.

“Her Majesty is making me impatient,” Lóng Wei said.

“Why doesn’t the prince do it? I will give him my entire support,” Zhu Liling said, with high hopes.

“Forgive me. I don’t want to dirty my hands. This you must do. If you fail to do this, then the deal is over. I will expose Her Majesty’s true face,” Lóng Wei said and stood up. “The Court will begin in fifteen minutes. Make sure to come at the right time, or else you will be at the guillotine,” he said, and left the chamber.

Zhu Liling was nervous about thinking how she should do it. Her hands were trembling, and all sorts of negative thoughts appeared in her head. But she had to put the blame on Eunuch Lishi to save herself.

Outside the chamber, Lóng Wei patted Eunuch Lishi’s shoulder. “You are thick-skinned,” he said and walked away, leaving Eunuch Lishi in confusion.
