498 Not safe either in the palace [Bonus chapter]

Qizhen looked at the message that Lóng Wei had left for him. Su Yichen asked his lord why he let Lóng Wei leave.

“My Lord, this was a golden opportunity to turn everything right. Prince Lóng Wei is brainwashed all these years. He is my lord’s son, yet he does not understand him. Qiu Zedong has only used the prince all these years. Lady Yu has to lose her life because of all this. She deserved justice,” Su Yichen let out his frustration. He did not like the fact that Qizhen let Lóng Wei go back.

“Su Yichen, my son lost his entire childhood, her teenage and even some of his adulthood years. For him, it does not matter what happened in the past. He was not even born at that time and has to undergo such harsh treatment. My heart wrenched when he told me how he wanted to take his life after he was once again sent to the cold palace. However, Li Hua gave him the hope to live. I do not want him to have a distressed life anymore. That is why I let my son go.”

Qizhen gave the reason to Su Yichen. He wanted to act like a father to Lóng Wei. For the first time, Lóng Wei made a request to him, that he could not ignore. His revenge was not bigger than his son’s happiness.

“The sacrifice of Lady Yu went wasted,” Su Yichen said with a sigh and lowered his head.

“Lóng Wei apologized to his mother. That was what matter the most. If she had been alive, she would have chosen Lóng Wei’s happiness only. We both could not give him a childhood like the other children. Yu Jun’s sacrifice did not go to waste. Lóng Wei is living a life she must have seen for him,” Qizhen asserted and closed the scroll. He smiled as he looked at the lakes before him.

“My Lord, but in the end, Prince Lóng Wei became the son of the man who is the reason for his unhappiness, his deteriorated childhood, and his gloomy years after that. Qiu Zedong succeeded in using Prince Lóng Wei in his way. He was born as the Dragon’s son, yet he merely ended up as someone else’s puppet,” Su Yichen affirmed.

“Qiu Zedong let my son live at

least. However, I have a fear. For how long will he do this?” Qizhen muttered and deep frowns formed on his forehead.

.....

“When Crown Prince Xiaoming be declared as the next king. Qiu Zedong’s biggest fear is that Prince Lóng Wei may become the king,” Su Yichen stated.

“Lóng Wei told me that he does not want to be the King. He wants a peaceful life with his wife. So, he does not want to carry the responsibilities of the kingdom. Even if I would have been the king, he had not chosen to be the next king,” Qizhen told Su Yichen.

“My Lord, should I meet Prince Lóng Wei’s wife? According to the rumors, Prince Lóng Wei changed in many aspects after marrying Lady Li Hua.” Su Yichen was desperate to give justice to Qizhen and Yu Jun. For that, he wanted Lóng Wei to come to his right senses and see how evil Qiu Zedong was!

“It is not needed. Let Lóng Wei decide his fate. Whatever choices he will make, I am going to respect that,” Qizhen affirmed.

“But My Lord, the Prince is not either safe at that place. That is the main reason Lady Yu always asked her son to leave the palace or even die so that he could run away from there,” Su Yichen said while being worried for Lóng Wei.

“I know. However, Lóng Wei will not understand that,” Qizhen said and took a deep breath.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Prince Lóng Wei did not go to Dongqing. Princess Consort Li Hua was in her brother’s house for two days and then she stayed in Chang Shi’s house,” the spy informed Qiu Zedong. The spy was on his knees and his head down.

Qiu Zedong tightened his fist and pondered why Lóng Wei lied to him. “Did you find where Lóng Wei has headed to?” Qiu Zedong asked.

“No, Your Majesty. I am still collecting the information on this,” the spy replied.

“Find out about it within tomorrow. If you still fail to gather the information, then kidnap Feng Lao and ask him. You are free to use your way,” Qiu Zedong ordered the spy.

“I understand, Your Majesty. I will come to His Majesty with the desired information soon,” the spy assured the King. Qiu Zedong dismissed him.

“Where did Lóng Wei go after lying to me?” Qiu Zedong muttered. He fidgeted with his fingers and thought of all the possible reasons which forced Lóng Wei to lie to him.

“Does Monk Yuze know about this?” Qiu Zedong murmured. “Is Prince Lóng Wei fooling his father and thinking to rebel against me?” he deduced. He shook his head, refuting that possibility.

However, his mind could not ignore the fact that Lóng Wei was clever. He had previously hidden many facts from him. A strong possibility existed there that Lóng Wei was planning something against the King.

Qiu Zedong stood up from the chaise and walked towards the cupboard. He opened it and then pressed something on the wall inside the cupboard. A secret opened up and Qiu Zedong entered in.

He went to the fourth shelf and picked up a folded piece of paper. The paper had turned old, and he unfolded it.

“The last message of Yu Jun for Lóng Wei,” Qiu Zedong mumbled and read it again. “How could she even think that her son would ever get this? Until I am alive, I will make sure to use your and Qizhen’s son the way I want to. I will make sure that he keeps hating you two till his last breath. I will make him serve my sons,” he said with a menacing expression on his face.

“I wanted to burn this message, but I could not. After all, it is the last way to control Lóng Wei in my way if ever he tried to rebel against me,” Qiu Zedong said and an evil smirk spread across his lips.
