96 I only came to see... my Husband

“Go back,” Lóng Wei lifted his hand and moved his fingers, gesturing to her to leave.

“I cannot go back,” Li Hua replied. “I want to talk with His Highness,” she said and walked to him. Standing in front of him, she asked, “Why should I not believe Feng Lao?”

“I don’t want to hear his name. Go back. I am drunk,” Lóng Wei stated. The strong smell of alcohol hit Li Hua’s nostrils.

“But His Highness looks sober enough to have a conversation with me,” Li Hua asserted. Earlier, when she got angry, she thought of many bad things about him. However, now she was in front of me, she felt different.

Why did she have such conflicted thoughts for him?

She looked down and grasped Lóng Wei’s hand, which let her hold. She brought him towards the bedchamber and made him sit on the bed. “Did His Highness take his meals?” She asked softly again and let go of his hand. “I could only eat three morsels because the Sixth Prince wasn’t present,” she informed him.

“Then, what meaning shall I take of it?” Lóng Wei asked and smiled. “It is odd. You fought with me, yet I could not get angry at you. How could I turn into this kind of person?” He muttered and demanded an answer from her.

“But we didn’t fight. It was merely an argument, Your Highness. Indeed, I had turned furious when he told me that I ran away like a coward and asked me the loyalty that Feng Lao had for me,” Li Hua explained to him.

“However, since I trust His Highness I believe that he didn’t say such a big thing without finding something about Feng Lao. Did he lie to me earlier that he doesn’t know him?”

.....

Li Hua deeply contemplated Lóng Wei’s statement. She was unaware of many facts which Lóng Wei knew. Only he could answer her.

Lóng Wei held her hand and pulled her down. He fell back on the mattress while Li Hua was on top of him. Before she could sit up, Lóng Wei wrapped his arm around her, not letting her move away.

“Why do you take that name again and again?” Lóng Wei questioned her. “You married me, so just talk about us.” He closed his eyes for a little longer before opening them. “The expression that you carried at that time clearly showed that you also thought of me as a sinful person. You already have called me immoral,” he said while peering into her eyes.

“Did His Highness drink because I infuriated him?” Li Hua placed her hands on his shoulders to move away, but it was in vain.

“No. I wanted to drink,” Lóng Wei answered.

“But it isn’t good to drink too much,” Li Hua said.

“You said that I am sober enough to converse with you. So, I believe that I did not drink too much. Would you like to drink with your husband? He might tell you some of his secrets,” Lóng Wei asked her to have wine with him.

Li Hua shook her head. “I cannot handle more than a cup, Your Highness. I am not a person who will listen to a person’s secrets when the person is drunk,” Li Hua clarified.

Lóng Wei smiled and brushed the pad of his finger on the bridge of her nose. Li Hua shut her eyes for a second and again peered at him. “Why doesn’t His Highness let me go?” She requested.

“Where will you go then?” He asked.

“To my chamber. His Highness can drink then,” Li Hua said.

Court Lady Hong, who arrived outside the Sixth Prince’s chamber, wondered if she should go in or not. When she returned from the kitchen after filling the water jar, she didn’t find Li Hua in her chamber.

“If I don’t inform the Sixth Prince, then he may get angry later,” she murmured and opened her mouth to speak.

“My humble apologies, Your Highness. I have an urgent matter to report to you,” Court Lady Hong said. “The Princess...she’s not in her chamber.” She quickly got on her knees, and her forehead touched the cold floor. “Your Highness, please forgive me,” she begged for her life.

Li Hua realized that she had fooled Court Lady Hong to see Lóng Wei.

“Your Highness, please do not punish Court Lady Hong. She did nothing. I was the one who made a fool of her to meet His Highness. He had told Court Lady Hong not to let me step out, but I had no other way,” Li Hua said and joined her both hands.

Lóng Wei sat up, keeping his grip tight on Li Hua’s back, and said, “Li Hua is with me. You can leave.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Court Lady Hong, who was outside the chamber, was relieved to hear it. She thanked him for forgiving her and left.

Lóng Wei tilted his head and found Li Hua was looking towards the door in concern. “I didn’t know you can also make a fool of someone.” An amusing grin appeared on his lips.

Li Hua turned her head to meet his eyes. “I had no other way,” she said and found how she was on Lóng Wei’s lap. She decided to move her legs first when Lóng Wei placed his other hand on her legs, keeping them intact where they were.

Li Hua’s toes curled and she started to feel nervous. “Let’s begin your punishment then,” Lóng Wei said.

“M-my punishment?” Li Hua gaped at him in confusion.

“Hmm. You let the old lady leave. When I said that you must not step your foot out, then you should not have,” Lóng Wei stated.

“But I didn’t go out of the manor. I only came to see,” she paused for a second, “my Husband,” before completing her words. She clutched the fabric of his dress. If she would call him ‘her husband’ then, he definitely would let her go.

“Sadly,” Lóng Wei took a few fringes between his fingers and smelled them, “your husband will have to punish you,” he whispered in her ear before brushing his lips on her earlobe.
