492 We look good as enemies [Bonus chapter]

Xiaoming hugged Lóng Wei and patted his back. He pulled back and asked Lóng Wei if the journey was good.

“It was,” Lóng Wei answered. “I heard about the Crown Prince’s sister,” he stated and sat down on the chair. Xiaoming also took his seat and asked Sun Fuguo to leave the chamber.

“Li Jianjun was betraying Jingfei. He tried to marry her for his benefit and then make relationships outside the marriage too,” Xiaoming briefed Lóng Wei. “Noble Consort Xiu humiliated Xu Zifan a lot. I apologized to him, but I do not think that he will forgive us.”

“Xu Zifan does not keep grudges. However, Noble Consort Xiu indeed did wrong. I will punish her in my way. She should not have disgraced my brother-in-law,” Lóng Wei pronounced.

“What will Prince Lóng Wei do?” Jin Yu’s voice fell into their ears. Lóng Wei tilted his head and greeted her. “Please include me in your plan because I also want to show the noble consort her place,” she asserted.

“The Crown Princess is braver than the Crown Prince,” Lóng Wei said with a smile and waited for her to sit down. When Jin Yu settled on a chair, Lóng Wei continued, “The Crown Prince thinks of the family, the elders first. Am I right?” He arched his eyebrow.

“I do, but I also think that the Noble Consort be punished for her wrong behavior,” Xiaoming affirmed.

“What will be the best punishment for the Noble Consort?” Lóng Wei asked them.

“What does Brother Lóng Wei think?” Xiaoming wanted to know his opinion.

.....

“Depriving her of the inner palace power. I feel she wanted to gather the support of the Li Family so that she could become the future queen. Since she was the only person, who stood for Li Zixuan’s son, he might want to give his support to her. Before their bondage becomes stronger and Li Zixuan raised the matter in the imperial court, Xiuying must be removed as the inner palace head.” Lóng Wei gave them an explanation.

“I did not think of that,” Xiaoming muttered and furrowed his brows together.

“If Noble Consort Xiuying becomes the Queen, she will create havoc in our lives,” Jin Yu said, “especially mine. She already does not like me and wants the Crown Prince to have a concubine.” Jin Yu was still upset from that day. She had not forgotten the slap she got for no reason from Xiuying.

Lóng Wei gazed at Xiaoming. “The Crown Prince needs to remove her from the inner palace,” he stated.

“How?”

“Ask the King,” Lóng Wei replied.

“Father will not agree. I had asked Father earlier too,” Xiaoming stated.

“The Crown Prince must show the King that Xiuying is a danger to the royal family. Can he not do that? Even at this moment, she might be talking about Xu Zifan and Jingfei to the people around her. The Second Prince did everything to remove your mother from the Queen’s position. Then, why can’t you?” Lóng Wei questioned him with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

Jin Yu glanced at Xiaoming, wondering what his decision would be. She truly wanted Xiaoming to fight for the right and push the evil behind the walls from where it could never escape.

“Is Brother Lóng Wei trying to create a rift between me and Qiu Mu?” Xiaoming asked.

“No. I want you to understand politics. I told the Crown Prince that he cannot be the king if he keeps thinking of others’ opinions of him. He is the next King, so he must know how to separate right from wrong,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Brother Mu may start to despise me if I target his mother. I do not want a fight between us brothers,” Xiaoming explained to Lóng Wei.

“I will show Prince Mu why his mother is not suitable for the inner palace powers,” Lóng Wei muttered. He found out that Xiaoming was too naive for the throne. How would he make him the best King of the Qiu Kingdom?

“Crown Prince, you did not flinch to kill thirty servants that time. However, now you have something great to do and you are getting scared,” Lóng Wei remarked. He did not care if Xiaoming would feel again upset about his previous act. All he wanted was for Xiaoming to get some senses and work as the Crown Prince.

“I should take my leave,” Lóng Wei said and stood up. He bowed to them and walked out of the chamber.

“He does not need to be harsh,” Xiaoming murmured.

“Prince Lóng Wei did not say anything wrong. He is asking the Crown Prince to be strong to fight against evil even if it is your family,” Jin Yu asserted.

Lóng Wei went to the prison to meet Kang Huijuan. The soldier unlocked the prison’s door. Lóng Wei walked in and found Kang Huijuan on one side of the cell.

“You have lost weight, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei stated with a smile.

Kang Huijuan tilted his head and looked at him. “You are enjoying my state,” Kang Huijuan affirmed.

“Of course. I gave you a chance to repent. Alas! You did not like that chance,” he asserted.

“Leave and do not eat my mind,” Kang Huijuan said.

“Do you want me to take you out of here?” Lóng Wei questioned him.

“I do not want your favor. I will die, but will not take your help,” Kang Huijuan proclaimed.

“Then, should I hasten the process to put you on the guillotine?” Lóng Wei asked with a smirk. “Kang Huijuan, why do you not become my ally? Why do you have to go against me and trouble me?” he continued to question him.

“Lóng Wei, I can never be your ally. We look good as enemies. If you forgive me and take me out of this prison, your life may come into danger. Because I will make sure to kill you even if I have to die after that,” Kang Huijuan pronounced.

“Kang Huijuan, keep rotting in this prison. You have lost your chance to live a life of comfort. I will ask the prison authority not to give you food and water so that you can go to the mouth of death expeditiously,” Lóng Wei stated.
