Ying Lili was sitting on the bed while Hu Jingguo was examining the wound on her hand. He cleaned it using the lukewarm water that Sheng Li had arranged in the rest-house. After dressing the wound, Hu Jingguo stood up from the chair. "Your highness, it will heal in a few days," Hu Jingguo told Sheng Li. 

"Hmm." 

"Why are you glaring at me? It is just a minor injury," Ying Lili said. Sheng Li averted his gaze from her and walked out from there. Hu Jingguo looked at Ying Lili and then at the door. 

"Why is he acting this way? He should praise me for helping him there," Ying Lili scoffed when she heard the giggles of Hu Jingguo. She met the eyes of Hu Jingguo and asked the reason for his laughter. 

Hu Jingguo controlled his laughs and answered Ying Lili. "Your highness, the Crown Prince is concerned about you. He loves you a lot," Hu Jingguo stated. 

Ying Lili huffed upon hearing that. "Love me?! One who loves does not get angry. He did not even confess his feelings to me. But I know he cares for me," Ying Lili asserted and looked at her hand. 

"Your highness, why don't you confess to the Crown Prince then? You are aware of his highness's personality. He is different from everyone," Hu Jingguo proclaimed. 

"I know. But why should I confess? I made a bet with him. I told him that he would fall in love with me like crazy. If I tell him now, then he will never confess to me," Ying Lili said with a disheartening expression. 

"Why will his highness not confess his feelings towards you? I think he is waiting for you to confess first. Do you want to know something? His Highness asked me a strange question when you two came to meet me when I was injured," Hu Jingguo stated. 

"His every question is strange. What did he ask about?" Ying Lili waited with inquisitiveness for his response.

"What kind of husband does Lili want?" Hu Jingguo replied. Hearing that Ying Lili's eyes widened. "His highness loved you even before you realized your feelings for him. He indeed loves you like crazy but he will not confess. That's why Prince Wanxi sent me here so that he can get jealous of seeing my closeness to you. Any man would get jealous if his woman is known more by some other man," Hu Jingguo pronounced.

Ying Lili's heart skipped a bit upon hearing all this. She recalled how Sheng Li defended her every time she was in a trouble. Her thoughts were interrupted when Sheng Li entered the room with Xiao Zhan and Wang Hao. Hu Jingguo went to them and helped them.

"Did she eat?" Sheng Li suddenly asked Xiao Zhan.

Xiao put the bags down on the wooden floor. He lowered his eyes, unable to answer the Crown Prince's query. "Did you pass her the message if she would not take her meals then her friend will get punished?" Sheng Li questioned Xiao Zhan.

Hu Jingguo's eyes grew big. "Why would I be punished!?" He astonishingly asked the Crown Prince.

"Because your friend does not listen to me. I cannot punish her but I can do this to you," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili stood up from the bed and stood beside Hu Jingguo.

"Do you expect me to have lunch when you were in danger? How could I enjoy my meals when you were attacked by assassins? Stupid!!" Ying Lili snapped at Sheng Li in front of everyone.

"What did you call me?" Sheng Li angrily asked.

"Stupid! Aren't you?! Who goes behind the assassins without being prepared? Did you want to show off again that you fought with over a dozen assassins all by yourselves? Did you really win those battles or did you act stupidly like this there as well?" Ying Lili argued with Sheng Li which infuriated him more. 

"Shut up!!" Sheng Li shouted at her. 

"Why are you shouting at me?" Ying Lili snorted and then looked at General Wang. "General Wang, you tell me if I am wrong. Your Crown Prince would have gotten injured if I would not have reached there at the time and see now he is getting angry at me," Ying Lili asked for Wang Hao's opinion.

Sheng Li bored his gaze at Ying Lili. "Wang Hao knows that what I did was right," Sheng Li proudly stated. 

"That's what you think!" Ying Lili retorted. 

"The Crown Princess is absolutely right. The Crown Prince should not have acted this way. The shooter was there to kill his highness. Thanks to the Crown Princess's quick actions, nothing happened to the Crown Prince," Wang Hao replied veraciously. 

Sheng Li knitted his brows and turned to look at Wang Hao. "You are taking her side?! You also think I'm stupid!" Sheng Li asked in skepticism. 

"What is there to think about! It was visible that you acted stupidly," Ying Lili whispered. Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan smiled. They puckered their lips together when they heard the Crown Prince, "Get out from here. Leave the two of us alone!" 

The three walked out from there leaving the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess behind. "Why did you send them out?" Ying Lili asked when she saw Sheng Li was taking steps closer to her. She crossed her arms and averted his gaze from him. 

"Say what you were saying earlier," Sheng Li ordered her. 

"Shall I make a poster of that? I will tell then everyone how stupid is their Crown Prince. Your father will laugh when I tell him how you acted today. You called me a naïve woman but today you showed me you are a loggerhead!" Ying Lili's words kept fuming Sheng Li. He was now in front of her. 

He brought his hand closer to Ying Lili's face. His thumb and index finger grabbed Ying Lili's chin thus turning her face towards him. "Say one more time," Sheng Li asked her. 

Ying Lili opened her mouth to speak when Sheng Li sealed her lips with a kiss.
