“Huang Xi, you do not need to come with us. You have to stay with the Third Prince,” Lóng Wei told Huang Xi.

“Is His Highness sure that the person will go to the border?” Huang Xi questioned.

“He will come to the border,” Lóng Wei replied with a confident tone. “Huang Xi, it is impossible for someone to kill Wu Zihao without the support of someone from Qijiang,” he affirmed and turned his head to glance at Huang Xi.

“General Bai Juchen still thinks that there was no one,” Huang Xi stated.

“Bai Juchen is not seeing the other side of the truth,” Lóng Wei asserted and put his hand around Huang Xi’s shoulder. “We will end this matter soon and will return to Qinping. Then, I will ask my father not to ever send me out of the capital. It has been so many days and I have not seen my Li Hua,” he expressed his thoughts.

“Your Highness, but as the Prince, you have certain responsibilities towards the kingdom. You cannot ignore them,” Huang Xi opined.

“I will do my duties from the capital, but not from here,” Lóng Wei stated and pulled his hand back before lowering it. “I do not know if Li Hua is doing good in the palace or not. The Queen is already behind her life. Though I have threatened the Queen, I am still worried,” he stated his concerns about Li Hua.

“Your Highness, Feng Lao will protect the Princess Consort. I do not think that the Queen will try to harm her. She knows the consequences of it.” Huang Xi stopped speaking when he heard a masculine voice. They both turned to look and found out that it was the messenger.

“Your Highness, your wife has sent a message for you,” the messenger informed Lóng Wei, who delightedly took the scroll from him. He dismissed him and took out the scroll from the holder. He opened it and started to read the message from Li Hua.

.....

Huang Xi peeked in the scroll when Lóng Wei stepped away and smiled to read the message. He brought the scroll close to his chest. “She is such a lovely wife,” Lóng Wei said. His heart fluttered since this was the first time he got a message from his loved one when he was far from the home.

“What did the Princess Consort say in the message?” Huang Xi curiously asked.

“That is between a husband and a wife. I cannot tell you,” Lóng Wei refused to reveal the message to him.

“I will also propose to the woman I love after we reach Qinping,” Huang Xi suddenly said.

“Really? Did you refuse to marry Princess Jingfei?” Lóng Wei asked him.

“I never told the First Princess that I would marry her,” Huang Xi affirmed.

“Did Xu Zifan not talk with you?” Lóng Wei arched his eyebrow.

“No, he did not. What he was supposed to talk about, Your Highness?” Huang Xi was slightly puzzled.

“That you should give Princess Jingfei a chance,” Lóng Wei answered. Huang Xi shook his head and told Lóng Wei that he would never marry Jingfei even if he received the King’s order.

Lóng Wei chuckled to hear him. “No one can refuse the King’s order,” Lóng Wei stated.

“But His Highness has done it many times,” Huang Xi remarked.

“I am different, Huang Xi. Your father is a loyal subject of the King. So, if the King gives out an order regarding your marriage with Princess Jingfei, then it will be difficult for you to step back,” Lóng Wei explained to him.

Huang Xi got worried to hear the words of the Sixth Prince. “But I like someone else. I want to marry that woman. I do not like anything about Princess Jingfei. In short, I hate her,” Huang Xi said with a slightly displeased tone.

“Whom do you like?” Xiaoming demanded the answer as he appeared out of the blue before them.

“Your Royal Highness!” Huang Xi bowed to the Crown Prince before gazing at him.

“Answer,” Xiaoming asked again and stepped up. “My sister has had feelings for Huang Xi for a long time. How could he hate my sister?” Xiaoming queried. He was hurt to hear those words regarding his sister. While Huang Xi was slightly scared to answer those queries of the Crown Prince.

“Huang Xi hates Princess Jingfei because of some reason,” Lóng Wei asserted. “The Crown Prince should ask his sister. Huang Xi told the truth to Princess Jingfei earlier too that he never liked her,” he clarified Xiaoming.

“Brother Lóng Wei, then, Huang Xi should tell me those reasons. My sister is madly in one-sided love with him. And who is the woman whom Commander Huang Xi like?” Xiaoming asked and again peered at Huang Xi.

“Your Royal Highness, I like the Second Princess,” Huang Xi replied.

Lóng Wei promptly turned his head to gaze at him. He was shocked to find that and at the same time, he was amused.

“A war will start in the palace,” Lóng Wei said and started to laugh.

“Why did you not tell my sister about it? She has been in love with you, Huang Xi!” Xiaoming got angry. He already had imagined how much Jingfei would be hurt to know the truth.

“Forgive me, Your Royal Highness. I had no intention to hurt your sister. I had told the First Princess long ago that I never would like her. I will again clarify it to the First Princess after we return,” Huang Xi said.

“I can already imagine what will happen in the palace. The First Princess will take her anger out on the Second Princess,” Lóng Wei asserted. “The Crown Prince does not take me wrong, but this is the nature of the First Princess. Because she is the daughter of the Queen, she will take it to her pride. I can bet on this,” he added while looking into Xiaoming’s eyes.

He then patted Huang Xi’s shoulder. “Your fight for love is going to be tough. Pray that the First Princess does not ask the King to make you marry her,” he asserted. Huang Xi was already worried and now, Lóng Wei’s those words scared him more.

“No such thing will happen. I will never let my sister marry a man, who hates her,” Xiaoming announced his decision and he walked away in anger.

“The Crown Prince is angry with me,” Huang Xi said and sighed.

“It is good for you. I cleared your path to marry the Second Princess. The Crown Prince will not let Jingfei get close to you and Jingfei will not harm Ai Fen,” Lóng Wei asserted with a victorious smile.
