Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

243 Sweetly kissed

In his sleep, Lóng Wei furrowed his brows and moved his eyeballs. His body had stiffened because of the flashes appearing in his head.

He saw his mother, who was seated on the patio, brushing her hair. Lóng Wei looked at her from behind and took backward steps. He asked himself why he was even near his mother.

“Lóng Wei, leave the palace.” Suddenly, the sound of his mother reverberated in the chamber, and he turned away, bringing his hands to his ears. He tightly squeezed his eyes and tightly pressed his hands against his ear, not wanting to hear his mother’s voice.

When the sound died, he put his hands down and took deep breaths. “This palace isn’t for you. The more you find the answers, the more you’ll find yourself trapped,” Yu Jun said, and he turned to his left.

“Don’t haunt me in my dreams,” Lóng Wei said. He never saw his mother in dreams, and it was strange for him. She again repeating the same thing which she used to say when he was a kid.

But why did this dream appear so real? He didn’t even want to see her. He turned his back on his mother and said, “I will prove you wrong. I was born into the royal family for a reason. Why should I leave the palace? Why do you hate your own son, who wants to live happily?”

“You should have never been born. It was a mistake,” Yu Jun said, and those words triggered Lóng Wei.

His mother always said this to him. He clenched his fists and said, “You were never concerned for me. For the mistakes you made, you always punished me. I hate it.” His eyes filled with tears and he gulped the lump that had formed in his throat.

“Your Highness,” Li Hua’s voice fell onto his ears. Lóng Wei lifted his head to look at her and found her smiling at him. He relaxed his fingers and walked up to her. He hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.

.....

“I will never leave this palace,” he murmured and tightly pulled her in his embrace.

“Your Highness, are you alright?” Li Hua, with a concerned look, asked him, and she looked at her hand. Lóng Wei had tightly grasped it and found him still sleeping.

She used her other hand to caress Lóng Wei’s head. She wondered if Lóng Wei was in some kind of dream. His facial expressions looked strange to her. Lóng Wei snapped his eyes open and saw Li Hua beside him.

“You woke up, Your Highness. How are you feeling?” Li Hua asked him, and she continued to caress his head, keeping a tiny smile on her lips.

Lóng Wei didn’t tell her about his weird dream and tried to sit up.

“Let me help, Your Highness,” Li Hua said, placing her hand on his arm. She helped him sit and asked him if he had a good sleep.

“Yes,” Lóng Wei replied.

“His Highness blabbered a few things while he was asleep,” Li Hua stated.

“I will never leave this palace,” Li Hua said, and she glanced at Lóng Wei. “Why did His Highness say this?” She arched her brow.

“Did I say that?” Lóng Wei muttered and chuckled. “I don’t remember,” he lied to her. Li Hua nodded at him and told him that she would check his wound first.

She slowly moved the thin silk robe down his shoulders. “Please lean forward,” she said, and he complied with her request. Li Hua opened the bandage and then looked at the wound.

“Your Highness, it is healing,” she said, and put the bandage on the table beside the bed.

“You already bathed,” Lóng Wei asked her as he took a few of her strands in his fingers and inhaled the scent.

“Yes. His Highness shall go to the washroom first and then to the bathhouse. After a bath, you will feel better,” Li Hua stated.

“Will you help me?” He asked as he let go of her hair.

“Yes. I will see him in the bathhouse,” Li Hua said, and got down from the bed first. He called in a male servant and asked him to take Lóng Wei to the washroom. The servant bowed before the Sixth Prince and held his arm gently.

After Li Hua sent Lóng Wei to the washroom, she asked the female servant if she brought the dress for the prince.

“Yes. It is in the bathhouse, Your Highness,” the maidservant answered. Li Hua went to the bathhouse while the maidservant started to clean the chamber.

Li Hua checked the temperature of the water. “It will be appropriate for him,” she muttered, and took out her hand from the water tub.

She heard the sliding of the door and stood up to turn to face him. “You can leave my hand. I am not a kid,” Lóng Wei said with annoyance to the servant whom Li Hua had sent with him.

Li Hua thanked the servant and asked him to leave. The servant bowed and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Li Hua asked him to enter the bathtub.

“Shall I undress fully?” He asked her with a smirk.

Li Hua walked up to him and looked at him from the top to the bottom. “Isn’t this dress His Highness wore while washing? He does not need to remove this thin trouser,” she said and went behind him. She took off the white silk robe from his upper body and put it aside. Lóng Wei had taken off his slippers and was walking alongside her.

He got into the hot tub. Li Hua saw that the water level didn’t reach the wound on his back. “Your Highness, the water isn’t too cold, right?” She asked him.

“No. The temperature is perfect,” Lóng Wei answered.

Li Hua picked up the hemispherical water jug and poured the water on his front body. She washed his neck well and their gazes met. “What is His Highness thinking?” She queried him.

“Nothing,” Lóng Wei replied.

Her hand moved down to his chest and she stopped. “Did my touch not burn His Highness anymore?” She asked him.

“You already know the answer,” he said, and leaned forward. He ducked his head and sweetly kissed her right below the ear.
