Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

308 Trust me and give me your hand

“Did Prince Lóng Wei really kill his mother?” Lóng Wei interrogated Li Hua. He remained silent and didn’t answer her. She took a step towards him and placed her hand over the robe over which he had put his right hand.

“Tell me, Your Highness. Why did you take the blame on yourself? You didn’t kill your mother. You diverted everyone from the truth. Am I right?” Li Hua asked.

Lóng Wei made a shaky motion with his head. “I killed her,” he asserted, “if you hate me for this, then you are free to do that.”

“I don’t hate His Highness,” Li Hua answered. “Let’s go before someone sees us here,” she suggested to him and held his hand. She took him out of the room and asked him to lock the chamber. Lóng Wei did that, and they left.

Lóng Wei put the robe over the table cloth and turned to look at Li Hua, who had removed the overcoat. Before he could ask her, she answered, “I woke up when I didn’t find Prince Lóng Wei beside me. So, I followed him. Forgive me for entering the room, as I did not know it was your mother’s residing place.”

“I never entered that place in all these years until today,” Lóng Wei said. His expressions were gloomy, and it seemed his happiness had gone.

“Because Prince Lóng Wei wanted to show his mother that he was bestowed with the Governor’s title. He wanted to share-” she could not complete her words as Lóng Wei interrupted her.

“I do not want to share anything with her. I wanted to show her that I proved her wrong. She always told me that...,” he paused as his nostrils flared up in anger. Li Hua was again wrong. She wondered what strange relationship both mother and son shared that he could not even speak about it openly.

After one dies, resentment has no place for that person.

.....

However, Lóng Wei always resented her. This was the strangest part of their relationship. He wasn’t either ready to share it, which bothered Li Hua more. If he had, then she would have tried her best to end that resentment in his heart for Yu Jun.

“You should sleep, Li Hua. I will go outside for a while,” Lóng Wei stated, and walked ahead. Li Hua stopped him and asked him to take her with him.

“I cannot,” Lóng Wei said.

“Why? I want to be with Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua affirmed.

“I want to be alone,” Lóng Wei said. He didn’t look into her eyes and stepped forward when Li Hua ran after him. She tightly hugged him from behind, and stopped him.

“I don’t want you to go alone,” Li Hua stated. “You can take me with you. I promise that I will not ask anything from Prince Lóng Wei. I want to be with him.” She was not ready to let him go alone.

“Women aren’t allowed to go out after curfew hours,” Lóng Wei reminded her.

“Even men aren’t allowed,” Li Hua retorted to his statement.

“I can because I love to break rules,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“I also love to break the rules. If His Highness steps out of the manor without me, I will wake everyone up in the palace,” Li Hua tried to threaten him.

“Do you want your husband to get punished?” Lóng Wei inquired.

“No. I want to stop him from going out alone. He can take his wife with him,” she repeated.

Lóng Wei chuckled. She never got adamant this way. His mood had gotten a little good. “Let’s go out,” he said, and he loosened her grip on his torso. He turned to her and asked her to wear the overcoat. Li Hua nodded her head and quickly went to the chair.

She wore the overcoat and turned to him. “His Highness shall also wear his overcoat,” Li Hua opined. He hummed and went to the bedchamber, where he had left his overcoat. He wore that and asked Li Hua to come with him.

Lóng Wei shut the doors of the chamber and then they both went to the stable. He took out a black horse and asked Li Hua to come near him. She gulped and gradually walked in Lóng Wei’s direction.

She found the gaze of the horse scary and screamed when the horse neighed. Lóng Wei got perplexed to see her reaction.

“Your Highness, can we not go by foot? If we will go on a horse, then we will surely be noticed by the night soldiers,” Li Hua suggested to him. She could not tell him that she was scared of horses because he would not take her out.

“Are you afraid of horses?” Lóng Wei asked her directly.

She gulped and lied to him. “No. Haha... I am not scared of horses,” she confidently said.

Lóng Wei approached her and took her hand in his. Li Hua looked at him, who took her ahead withhim,m and they both stopped in front of this horse. Li Hua’s legs were trembling with fear. Her heart was palpitating against her chest.

Lóng Wei lifted her hand, and she asked him what he was doing. “Horses are very close friends of humans. You need to caress them and they will love the affection you show them,” he said.

“No, please,” Li Hua requested, and shut her eyes in fear. She pulled her hand back when Lóng Wei drew her to his front with a sudden force. Li Hua’s breath hitched to seeing the horse from this close, and she immediately turned to face Lóng Wei. She buried her face in his chest and said, almost crying, “He will kill me. He is staring at me.”

“He is so calm, Li Hua. Your actions will make him angry. If you do not end this fear today, I won’t take you with me,” Lóng Wei clearly stated.

Li Hua lifted her head and shook her head.

“Then, trust me and give me your hand. If you don’t, I will leave you here and disappear on this horse,” he affirmed.
