543 By not falling in danger

Lóng Wei scribbled a message on the paper when Li Hua wrapped her hands from behind and rested her chin on his shoulder. Lóng Wei lifted his head and tilted his head to gaze at her.

“What is His Highness writing?” Li Hua asked and looked at the sheet on the table. She read the message and then looked at Lóng Wei, who smiled at her.

He placed the brush on the stand and kept his hand on her clasped hands. He kissed her cheek and asked her why she did not go to the bed.

“I am unable to sleep. I want to cuddle my husband in sleep,” Li Hua stated. He pulled her to the front and made her sit on his lap.

She kept her hands wrapped around his neck and asked him if he was going outside.

“Hmm. I may not come tonight. Will you sleep without me?” Lóng Wei questioned her. “I will come back at midnight if you are unable to sleep,” he asserted.

“Can I not accompany His Highness? I want to help him too,” Li Hua said.

“Do you want to come with me? But spies will be after us. As soon as I leave the palace, the spies will definitely follow me. If you stay here, then that will be better. You can help me from here as well,” Lóng Wei stated.

“How will I help His Highness from here?” Li Hua asked.

.....

“By not falling into danger,” Lóng Wei said.

“Prince Lóng Wei, I will do that then, but only if you fulfill my wish,” Li Hua put forward a condition.

“Tell me. I will fulfill it,” Lóng Wei was ready to listen to her wish.

“Let me handle the part where you need all the support of the princes. Will Prince Lóng Wei trust his wife in this task?” Li Hua inquired.

“How will you do it?” Lóng Wei was curious to know.

“I cannot tell His Highness at this moment. But after ten days, the princes will be on his side. I know His Highness can do that too, but I want to lessen his burden. He can do other important work while I can accomplish this task while staying in the palace,” Li Hua affirmed. She looked confident. The vibrant expressions on her face made Lóng Wei trust her.

“Fine. I will let you do it,” Lóng Wei agreed to her wish. She promptly kissed him on the cheek and thanked him for trusting her.

“We both will definitely put an end to this, Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua assured him and stroked his cheek. “Do not worry at all. We surely will put an end to all the evil we both faced till now. It is a fight we both have to fight together,” she asserted.

Lóng Wei nodded his head. “We will give justice to all such people, who did wrong to us. Forgive me for staying ignorant of my father’s actions,” Lóng Wei said while being guilty.

“Don’t be. You took all the right decisions till now. To save all of us, you were quiet till now. I understand Prince Lóng Wei. He does not tell his thoughts entirely to me, I can read his mind,” Li Hua stated with a tiny smile on her lips.

Lóng Wei lifted her in his strong arms and carried her to the bedchamber. He settled her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. “Good night, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said and planted a soft kiss on the middle of her forehead.

“Give a kiss here,” Li Hua pointed her finger at her lips.

Lóng Wei smiled brightly and kissed her on the lips. He sat straight and caressed her hair for a while. “I will come in the morning,” Lóng Wei said.

“Do not hurt yourself,” Li Hua said.

“I will not. I promise,” Lóng Wei assured her and then stood up. He blew off the candles in the room except one and left.

After he came out to the bedchamber, he folded the sheet and put it inside the envelope. He put the envelope in the inner pocket of the upper robe and then picked up the sword. He looked at it with a grim look and then walked out of the room.

“Nuan Xi, I am trusting Li Hua to you. Inform me tomorrow if you find something wrong,” Lóng Wei ordered her.

“I will protect Her Highness in the Prince’s absence,” Nuan Xi said while keeping her gaze on the ground. Lóng Wei hummed and left his manor.

He had already informed his father about it in the evening. The reason was simple. He wanted to know about the spies who would chase him. Though, he would not kill them tonight as it could bring on him. Qiu Zedong would not think anything before announcing a death sentence to Lóng Wei.

The guards at the imperial gates opened them for Lóng Wei. He left on a horse and the gates were closed. He stopped outside the Xu residence and told the doorkeeper to take care of the horse.

Feng Lao had been waiting for Lóng Wei in the main courtyard and seeing the prince, he walked up to him.

“Xu Zifan has gone to sleep,” Feng Lao informed Lóng Wei and they both went to Feng Lao’s room.

Feng Lao closed the door behind him and went to the open small yard on the backside of his room. Lóng Wei had his hands behind his back while Feng Lao stood next to him.

“Do you fear death, Feng Lao?” Lóng Wei asked.

“Not anymore,” Feng Lao gave an immediate reply.

“I cannot go there, so I need someone efficient to go there,” Lóng Wei said and the statement confused Feng Lao. Lóng Wei took out the envelope from his inner pocket.

“You need to give this to a middle-aged man whose name is Shuyao. He sells the dumplings in Xianshan. You need to tell him that I have sent you to him and given this envelope for him,” Lóng Wei explained to Feng Lao, who took the envelope from him.

“Your Highness, what is inside this?” Feng Lao asked.

“A message for someone,” Lóng Wei replied.

“Will Shuyao believe me?” Feng Lao questioned.

“He will believe you after reading the message inside it,” Lóng Wei replied.

Feng Lao understood his mission. “May I know what is Prince Lóng Wei up to?” He asked.

“I want to wipe out someone who killed my master, my wife’s family, and her friend’s family,” Lóng Wei stated.

Best

“Does His Highness find out who did that?” Feng Lao asked with a shocked expression.

“Yes.”

“Can His Highness tell me?” Feng Lao queried.

“No. I will tell you when the right time comes,” Lóng Wei replied.

Feng Lao did not ask any more questions. He told Lóng Wei that he would finish that task.

Lóng Wei heard a slight noise that came from the top of the roof. The spy had chased him inside the residence. He chuckled and stepped into the small yard. He looked around then jumped over the small cylindrical pillar which had a lion’s face carved above it and then to the roof. Feng Lao ran after him and saw Lóng Wei hanging to the roof and the next second, he was on the roof.

“Your Highness!” Feng Lao worriedly said.

Lóng Wei looked at the masked spy and chuckled, “I did not plan to kill you here, but sadly, I have to do that.”
