Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 200



200 Be Evil for those who are Evil

“Brother Lóng Wei, can I ask something from you?” Xiaoming asked.

“Hmm?” Lóng Wei gave him permission.

“What will he do to Brother Qiu Mu? Will he bring out the truth about his crimes? If yes, then I want Brother Lóng Wei not to do so. I don’t want the relationship between the brothers to get ruined,” Xiaoming opined.

“Why? Aren’t you the Crown Prince? Your first duty is to bring justice to injustice. Qiu Mu tried to kill me. Shouldn’t he be punished the same way as I used to? Is the Crown Prince afraid that Qiu Mu will reveal the truth about how he schemed to kill me?” Lóng Wei inquired.

Xiaoming was deeply guilty about that. During that time, he had lost his mind and told his three brothers to join hands with him. He did not want to see Lóng Wei ever again.

“I don’t mind what my half-brothers think of me. If you want to betray me in the future, I will not mind. Because I was born with a fate where insecurities in others arise,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I am sincerely apologetic for what I have done. I won’t deny that I never got insecure because of the prophecy that Monk Yuze made. However, I won’t be that person anymore,” Xiaoming assured him while being apologetic.

“Are you sure? If in the future, I want to be the Crown Prince, will you let me be? Will you not want me to die?” Lóng Wei inquired.

Xiaoming knitted his brows. He suddenly recalled Liu Jin Yu and looked at the middle of his palm. “I think I will have freedom then,” Xiaoming said and glanced at Lóng Wei. The answer amused him.

.....

“If I won’t be the Crown Prince, I don’t need to bury my wishes and desires deep in my heart. I will be free to enjoy my life like Brother Lóng Wei. I can go around, make friends, and talk with anyone around me. That feeling will be wonderful,” Xiaoming said with a smile.

“I wonder why the Crown Prince’s thoughts changed suddenly. I missed a lot of drama in the palace,” Lóng Wei said, chuckling.

“Though, I heard a few things. The Crown Prince has refused to marry Kang Cha Ying. May I know the reason?” He curiously waited for Xiaoming to answer.

“Will the Sixth Brother help me?”

“I will decide after knowing the problem,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Kang Cha Ying thinks she’s perfect for the position of Crown Princess. When I rejected her, she blamed it on your wife. I realized that she could never be my wife. Our Royal Father has agreed with my decision. My mother didn’t say anything, but suddenly she changed again. My mother thinks that my marriage to her will politically benefit me. But only I know that it’s not going to happen. Then, my mother sent assassins after Liu Jin Yu to kill her. Eunuch Lishi, who served me for so many years, also helped her. I feel suffocated.” Xiaoming ended up blurting out everything to Lóng Wei.

“Eunuch Lishi is a boot licker. He wants to benefit from the Crown Prince’s marriage. Eunuch Lianying and Kang Xi have been very close for a long time. Lianying is the one who fills the ears of the Royal Mother,” Lóng Wei stated.

Xiaoming was astonished by those words. How did Lóng Wei know all this?

“So, Lianying asked my mother to keep forcing Cha Ying on me,” Xiaoming mumbled.

“It is a strong possibility. Remove those two Eunuchs and the Crown Prince’s problems will be solved. In the palace, the fight isn’t only among the princes but also among the servants,” Lóng Wei proclaimed. Xiaoming hummed.

“How can I remove them? It’s not easy,” Xiaoming said.

“You are the Crown Prince. You have plenty of ways to remove them. Be evil for those who are evil,” Lóng Wei stood up. “I would love to converse more, but I have to leave,” he stated and left the chamber.

Xiaoming found out that Lóng Wei wasn’t a bad type of person. He realized that it was the first time, they both conversed calmly while understanding each other.

“Jin Yu told me the same that I’m the Crown Prince and I can do anything that I want. I must do something about Eunuch Lianying and Eunuch Lishi.” He decided and again looked at the middle of his palm.

Lóng Wei brought Li Hua and Xu Zifan to the King’s manor. Eunuch Gao Bing made them sit in the private chamber and after a while, the King arrived.

They all bowed before the King. Qiu Zedong took his seat and glanced at Xu Zifan. He returned his gaze to Lóng Wei and asked them to take their seats.

Xu Zifan came forward and formally greeted the King. “As the brother of Xu Li Hua, Xu Zifan wants to humbly greet the nation’s king and I want to thank him for accepting her as the daughter-in-law of the regal family.” Xu Guang Li was supposed to do it, but I’m his father’s absence it was the duty of a brother.

“I had nothing to give as dowry in my sister’s marriage. However, I have a small present for His Majesty. My loyalty towards His Majesty will stay until my last breath. This is the only thing I can present to His Majesty,” Xu Zifan affirmed while keeping his head down.

Qiu Zedong asked him to take a seat. He was impressed by Xu Zifan’s eloquent words. He had noticed that Xu Zifan had lost his right limb, despite that he sounded optimistic.

“Prince Lóng Wei told me everything. I am upset with Princess Consort Li Hua. She pretended to be a lady from a low class,” Qiu Zedong said. The deep frowns on his forehead were clear to show his agitation.

Li Hua opened her mouth to apologize but before her, Lóng Wei spoke.

“Royal Father, Princess Consort thought everyone was dead from her family. When I found her here, I told her not to tell the Royal Father about it,” Lóng Wei stated. He tilted his head to glance at Li Hua and assured her with an eye gesture that everything would be alright.
