282 Too foolish to harm me

“His Highness should have let the Crown Prince hug him. He was happy that you helped him,” Li Hua told Lóng Wei while walking with him in the corridor.

“Hmm. But I didn’t want to hug him,” Lóng Wei said and looked around. He found no one was around, and then took her behind the pillar.

Li Hua was startled by his actions and asked him if someone had come. She tilted her head to look when Lóng Wei answered, “No one came.”

“Then?” She squinted her brows in confusion.

Lóng Wei instead of answering her kissed her. Li Hua gaped at him and pushed him a little. “What is His Highness doing?” She could not hide her smile.

“Kissing you,” he leaned down after replying to her when she pressed her fingers on his lips.

“That’s not allowed,” she stated. Lóng Wei held her wrist and put her hand down.

“Why? No one is around,” he asserted.

“Then, anyone can come. This corridor is a regular route for many servants, princes, and even princesses. I do not want to get embarrassed like that day,” Li Hua said while making a pout.

.....

“Which day?” Lóng Wei completely forgot the day when Tianjie spotted them kissing near the lake, which was situated in the imperial palace.

“When the Third Prince saw us and even scolded His Highness,” she reminded him. Lóng Wei asked her to ignore that.

“He himself has no woman to love, so he is jealous of me,” Lóng Wei asserted. “Just one kiss and then we will go to see your brother. Xu Zifan will leave the palace today,” he informed Li Hua, and requested her to allow him to kiss him.

Li Hua closed her eyes. He smiled, and their noses touched against each other.

“Will the Crown Prince really marry Liu Jin Yu?”

They both heard Tianjie’s voice and opened their eyes. Lóng Wei peeked out of the pillar and saw Tianjie with Zhang Xi and Qiu Mu. Li Hua also turned to look, and they both heard their conversation.

“Didn’t the Third Prince support the Crown Prince in front of the royal father?” Qiu Mu reminded him, and he chuckled.

“That was important because I don’t want to stagnate my relationship with the Crown Prince,” Tianjie stated. “Recently, I noticed that Lóng Wei has improved his relationship with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince even invited us that day and told us that we should get rid of Lóng Wei. Then, why is he suddenly so good to him?” He was puzzled by Xiaoming’s behaviour towards Lóng Wei.

Li Hua felt upset to hear that Xiaoming really wanted to kill Lóng Wei. She had heard it from Lóng Wei, but hearing this from his half-brothers made her extremely upset.

“Brother Mu must have known why the Crown Prince suddenly turned good to Lóng Wei?” Zhang Xi inquired.

“He thinks that it will not be good to fight amongst each other. Now, I feel the same,” Qiu Mu stated. “There is no use to fight with Brother Lóng Wei,” he opined. Zhang Xi glanced at Tianjie.

“Brother Mu failed to notice how Lóng Wei insulted his mother? He told everyone that his mother belonged to a low family status, but because of our father’s favor, she became the noble consort of our father,” Tianjie asserted. He knew that Lóng Wei must be blackmailing Qiu Mu, which was the main reason why he was quiet.

“I don’t know what to say about this. Our father has already taken the decision. So, we must respect that decision,” Qiu Mu stated. “I need to leave as General Hei and we are looking into the activities of the servants these days. I will see you both later.” Qiu Mu took his leave.

“I think that Brother Lóng Wei has caught their weaknesses. That’s why they are both no longer against him,” Zhang Xi told Tianjie, who agreed with him.

“We have already destroyed the things which Lóng Wei could use against us. So, he cannot blackmail us,” Tianjie said, and smiled at Zhang Xi. They both left soon.

Li Hua turned to look at Lóng Wei and found him smirking.

“What happened, Prince Lóng Wei? Did you not find it upsetting that your two elder brothers are still against you? Also, the Second Brother isn’t saying anything to you because you know his weakness? They might harm Prince Lóng Wei if that weakness vanishes,” Li Hua said with a worried tone. She fiddled with her fingers and told Lóng Wei not to provoke them anymore.

“Li Hua, they are too foolish to harm me,” Lóng Wei said and hung his arm around her shoulder. “Let’s go to see Xu Zifan before he leaves,” he said and took her to see Xu Zifan.

They soon arrived at the chamber where Xu Zifan was staying. To their surprise, Huang Xi was also present in the chamber. He greeted them.

“Don’t you have work to do?” Lóng Wei questioned Huang Xi.

“I do,” Huang Xi replied. “I will accompany Xu Zifan to his allotted residence and then go to work in the capital center, Your Highness,” he explained to Lóng Wei.

Li Hua went to Xu Zifan and hugged him. “I will miss my older brother,” she said and closed her eyes. Xu Zifan caressed her head with his left hand and told him that he would be in the capital, so she didn’t have to miss him.

“I will bring Li Hua to you if she misses you,” Lóng Wei told Xu Zifan and took out a tessel. It had a white jade hanging on it.

Li Hua withdrew from the hug and asked him to find a woman soon.

“What?” Xu Zifan chuckled at her.

“Princess Consort Li Hua, I will make your brother meet a few beautiful women,” Huang Xi stated and smiled.

“Please do, Commander Huang Xi. My brother will not take care of himself. He truly needs a woman in his life,” Li Hua said, and she glanced at her brother.

“Sure,” Huang Xi said.

Lóng Wei walked up to Xu Zifan and handed him the tassel, who looked in bewilderment at him.

“This is for your safety. You can use it at various places in my name if you fall in trouble,” Lóng Wei told him. Xu Zifan thanked him and asked him to take care of himself.

“Li Hua is here to take care of me. You don’t need to worry about us,” Lóng Wei said, and patted his shoulder. “I will challenge you to a sword fight when you become good with your left hand,” he stated.

“Sure, Your Highness. I am waiting for that day,” Xu Zifan said. A Eunuch came to inform them that Xu Zifan must leave. They walked to the palace gate to see him off. Li Hua was slightly worried about her brother.

“Your Highness, what if the enemy attacks my brother? In the palace, he was at least around us,” Li Hua concernedly said.

“Li Hua, the enemy is in the palace. So, you and I are on his or her radar, not Xu Zifan. Also, I have made arrangements for his safety,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

“Why isn’t the enemy attacking us?” Li Hua inquired. She was curious to know what the enemy might be thinking.

“That’s what I am searching for,” Lóng Wei said and frowned.
