Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

“The Crown Prince has to make sure that Kang Huijuan gets the death sentence tomorrow. He killed the master of the Crown Princess to wipe all such evidence. These documents will be enough for the Crown Prince to bring an end to his life,” Lóng Wei stated.

Xiaoming nodded his head. However, he had a doubt. “Why does Brother Lóng Wei not show these documents to our father himself? Why does he want me to do this?” Xiaoming squinted his eyes in suspicion.

“I will not be present in the court tomorrow. Li Hua and I are heading to a nearby town,” Lóng Wei replied.

“Where are you both going? Did Brother Lóng Wei take permission from the royal father?” He asked.

“Yes. I had a conversation with the royal father earlier. I want us to spend time alone for a while. For the past few days were tough for us. So, I want to take her away from the palace for a while. The Crown Prince must have heard about the town Dongxing. It is a great place for vacation in the rainy weather,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Brother Lóng Wei takes great care of his wife. Enjoy your trip to Dongxing. I will definitely put an end to Kang Huijuan’s life. I cannot stand this man. However, I wonder if the father will agree to punish the son of Kang Xi. Kang Xi is a close friend to our father, which stops him from punishing Kang Huijuan.” Xiaoming knew that his father had a strong trust in Kang Xi for some reason.

“I told the Crown Prince to make people agree to him. If he cannot do that, then he can lead us well. Be the man which you showed me at the time when you wanted to take Li Hua away from me,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

Xiaoming recalled how he ordered the killing of thirty female servants and it still made him feel guilty about his acts.

.....

“I do not want to do that anymore. I can fall so low, Brother Lóng Wei,” Xiaoming stated and lowered his eyelids in guilt.

“Why? To fight an evil person, it is necessary to become evil. Forget the good teachings you read in all these books,” Lóng Wei said as he tilted his head to look at the shelves which had books stacked in them. “We forgive Kang Huijuan and showed our kind nature to him. But he does not deserve that anymore. He did the biggest mistake of his life today and it is the time when he should pay for his crimes,” Lóng Wei affirmed with a stern tone.

Xiaoming wondered what Kang Huijuan did, but he did not ask as he knew that Lóng Wei would not share it with him. If he had to, then he would have already.

Lóng Wei had thought that he would need the Kang Family in the future to reach the truth. But he had already solved all the puzzles about his past. Thus, he longer needed the Kang Family. Kang Xi would turn quiet after losing his son.

“I hope the Crown Prince succeeds in this work,” Lóng Wei stated and rose to his feet.

“Brother Lóng Wei must take Huang Xi with him for his and his wife’s safety,” Xiaoming suggested to him.

Lóng Wei acknowledged his suggestion when Xiaoming asked him when he would return.

“After five days,” Lóng Wei answered. He told Xiaoming that Li Hua might be waiting for him, so he bowed slightly and left the Crown Prince’s study room.

Xiaoming looked at the documents in his hand and went through them. He recalled Jin Yu’s words when she had told him that Lóng Wei took personal time for his wife.

“I am at a place where my responsibilities do not allow me to go anywhere,” Xiaoming murmured and sighed. He found the documents carried that information which was like the guillotine for Kang Huijuan.

“Brother Lóng Wei is right. I must show why I am the Crown Prince and when something evil happens, I must fight bravely against it. I will do my best tomorrow in the court,” Xiaoming said with a stern look.

Lóng Wei was heading to his manor when he encountered Tianjie. However, he did not exchange any words with him. He walked straight ahead when Tianjie stopped him.

“Where did you head in such a rush yesterday?” Tianjie asked.

Lóng Wei turned to gaze at him.

“Why should I tell you?”

“I heard that your grandmother died yesterday. Did you go to see her? It is strange that you went to the funeral of a person, who demanded the death sentence for you. It was unexpected of the dragon’s son,” Tianjie sarcastically said.

“Why are you so interested in my matters?” Lóng Wei questioned him. “I heard that Song Jia is in the capital. Are you no longer interested in marrying her? I knew that you would turn selfish for the power. Chen Lizhen handles the revenue of the kingdom. You will indeed get benefited by marrying his daughter.”

Tianjie felt that Lóng Wei pressed his weak nerve.

“It is not wrong to think about power,” Tianjie stated. “It was not love. I was infatuated by her beauty,” he added.

“Then, why did the Third Prince go to see where Song Jia stayed? Just accept that you do not want the people to make fun of you for choosing Song Jia, as in your eyes, the status, and the name is everything,” Lóng Wei chuckled and walked ahead.

Tianjie got upset to hear the words of Lóng Wei. However, Lóng Wei was absolutely right. Tianjie did not want to marry a woman with no social status. “It is weird that I am not furious at Lóng Wei even after hearing those bitter words from him,” he muttered and went ahead to see Qiu Mu.
