Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Lóng Wei tilted his head and glanced at the arm that Kang Huijuan was holding. “Forgive me, Your Highness,” he said and put his hand down, “I heard His Highness is getting married,” he initiated the conversation.

“You love to know about the things going on in the palace,” Lóng Wei remarked.

“Anything related to the Princes or the Princesses spread like a fire. And then, the Sixth Prince chooses to marry a servant, which is an interesting topic of discussion among everyone,” Kang Huijian said and grinned.

Lóng Wei turned to go inside when he heard Kang Huijian’s words, which boiled his blood in anger.

“I heard she is beautiful. I wonder what she looks like. Care to share this servant with me.”

Lóng Wei clenched his fist and punched him hard. He fell to the ground, and he started to laugh. Lóng Wei jumped at him and pulled him up by grabbing his robes.

“Last time I spared you, but not this time.” Lóng Wei gritted his teeth while glaring into his eyes.

“Kill me then, Lóng Wei. Who knows with my death, you will forever be locked in the cold palace?! Let’s suppose I won’t die, then I will make sure to take Li Hua away from you and make her my-” he paused when Lóng Wei strangled his neck. Veins popped out on his forehead. His other hand grasped Kang Huijuan’s right hand which he twisted.

.....

“Kang Huijuan, do you think I am afraid of you? I should have removed this right limb of yours that day. Don’t provoke me anymore and don’t say rubbish from your filthy mouth,” Lóng Wei said and pushed him away. Kang Huijuan put his hands on his neck and started to cough.

“Leave before I cut your tongue,” Lóng Wei said. He knew how to control his anger. He also knew that Kang Huijuan had come to provoke him. Just a few more days and then he would bring the true face of Kang Huijian in front of everyone. He would punish him for speaking incorrectly about Li Hua.

“What will you do about the punch you gave on my face?” Kang Huijuan asked after turning stable. “I will make sure to send you to the cold palace, Lóng Wei,” he said.

“Kang Huijuan, I have no intention to go back to the cold palace. Do you think it’s easy to make me work against my will? On such a big event in my life, I spared your life. Yuze always says to me that sometimes it is good to ignore foolish people,” Lóng Wei mocked him this time. “Start removing the evidence, Kang Huijuan. Because soon, I will reveal your truth,” he affirmed and left his sight.

Kang Huijuan was terrified to hear his last words. “Evidence?” He murmured and got puzzled. “No way he can have anything against me.” He was not ready to believe Lóng Wei’s words either. He stepped back and soon left the palace.

Lóng Wei found Xiaoming waiting for him in the chamber. He didn’t like that the Crown Prince entered his chamber when he was not present.

“Why did the Crown Prince come here when I was not present here?” Lóng Wei asked him in anger.

“I suppose I can go anywhere in the Palace of the Kingdom, Brother Lóng Wei,” Xiaoming said and gestured to him to take the seat. “Let’s have the conversation over the murder of thirty servants,” he stated.

Lóng Wei squinted his eyes in suspicion before taking the seat on the chaise lounge. “Does the Crown Prince want to accept his crimes?” Lóng Wei asked.

Xiaoming smiled. “Nothing will happen if I accept that I have hands behind the murder of those thirty servants. Why will the Royal Father punish the Crown Prince for taking the lives of mere servants?”

The confidence in Xiaoming’s tone bothered Lóng Wei.

“However, if the truth comes out, then everyone will see what the Crown Prince truly is!” Lóng Wei pronounced, keeping the tiny smile on his lips.

“Then, why doesn’t the Sixth Brother tell the Royal Father now?” Xiaoming challenged him. Both of them stared into each other’s eyes before Lóng Wei opened his mouth to speak.

“The Crown Prince shall know that, unlike the others, I do not come in his words. The way he speaks makes me sick. He pretends to be a different person when we both know what he is!” Lóng Wei growled in a deep, menacing voice.

“What does the Sixth Brother want to keep his mouth shut?” Xiaoming finally came to negotiate with him.

“Umm... nothing,” Lóng Wei answered. “The Crown Prince shall leave because I need to take my lunch,” he said and gestured to the door.

Xiaoming stood up and was ready to leave.

“Crown Prince Xiaoming must know that he cannot buy me. I can achieve things on my own. All these years, I did not have the will to involve myself in politics, but now I am very much interested. The Crown on your head, I will take it soon. After all, I am the chosen son of Dragon, so I must become like a Dragon.”

Lóng Wei’s words intimidated Xiaoming. He had not expected that Lóng Wei would become interested in the crown, the throne, or anything related to the palace.

“The Sixth Brother is welcomed to do anything he wants. Becoming the Crown Prince isn’t easy. People must have faith in you, Ministers must support you and most importantly, your mother should be the official wife of the King,” Xiaoming reminded Lóng Wei. “To my knowledge, the Sixth Brother doesn’t possess any of these things,” he said, with a stern tone.

“It isn’t tough for me to gain people’s trust and ministers’ support. As for the official wife of the King, if my mother had been alive, there would be no chance she would be the Queen because she was a concubine. The Crown Prince shall prepare himself to fight me.”

Xiaoming didn’t stay any longer in Lóng Wei’s chamber as it would only increase his anger and ruin his mood.

Lóng Wei took out the tassel from his pocket. “Luckily, I didn’t keep it here. Else, he would have found it out. He must have checked my chamber,” he murmured.
