Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 405



405 Go back to Li Hua [Bonus chapter]

Hei Chengxi asked Xu Zifan why he wanted to see him. When Xu Zifan told him that he would like to talk in the private, Hei Chengxi asked the soldier to leave the private room in the barracks. When the doors got closed, Hei Chengxi gestured to the chair asking Xu Zifan to sit on it. He took a seat and then initiated the conversation.

“Why did General Hei go with the plan that Li Hua made? He is senior to us and even more experienced than all of us. I had not expected him to agree with Li Hua when the matter was about her life.” Xu Zifan did not beat around the bushes and asked him straightforwardly.

“At the moment, I can only say that it was important to catch someone, who could have affected Prince Lóng Wei later.” Hei Chengxi did not want to get into a deep conversation with Xu Zifan. However, it seemed to him that Xu Zifan did not want to leave him easily.

“I have planned to go to Qijiang to inform Prince Lóng Wei about today’s matter. IF General Hei does not tell me a satisfactory answer, then I will not stop here,” Xu Zifan stated. He had openly challenged Hei Chengxi.

He was unable to understand why Hei Chengxi decided to play with Li Hua. What did he mean by that he wanted to catch someone, who could harm Lóng Wei in the future? His find was filled with many questions. Until Hei Chengxi did not clear his suspicions, he would stay there.

“Xu Zifan, do you think I would have let anything happen to your sister?” Hei Chengxi questioned him. “I agreed with the plan of the Princess Consort because of a bigger reason. If you think I did all this to benefit myself in any way, then you are wrong. Ye Yujin can do anything for his sister, the Queen. The Princess Consort would not be safer if he had not been caught,” Hei Chengxi explained to Xu Zifan.

“But we could have solved this matter by taking it to the King,” Xu Zifan argued.

Hei Chengxi refused as he shook his head. “Xu Zifan, I can only tell you at the current time that it is related to the past of Prince Lóng Wei. Your sister has given you the work to find out about Lóng Wei’s uncles. Am I right?” He arched his eyebrow.

Xu Zifan nodded his head and furrowed his brows. He was puzzled to find that today’s incident had something to do with Lóng Wei’s past. How and why?

.....

Hei Chengxi leaned closer to him over to the desk. “Around Li Hua, many capable men are deployed for her protection. One of them is Xiwan, so you do not worry about her. Xiwan kept his eyes on your sister when she first entered the palace,” Hei Chengxi told some of the secrets to Xu Zifan in a low voice and then leaned back on his chair.

Xu Zifan looked at the General for a few seconds and then, he nodded his head. He realized that something related to Lóng Wei’s past was connected with today’s incident.

“More than the brother of Li Hua, I am concerned for her. Do not forget that Xu Guang Li and I were close friends. Li Hua is like my own daughter. I will never let anything happen to her,” Hei Chengxi said and those words filled Xu Zifan with assurance about his sister’s safety.

“Let Prince Lóng Wei learn things in Qijiang. He finally got the opportunity to show the people what he is and how capable he is!” Hei Chengxi stated with a smile. “Listen to me as if your father is saying this to you,” he added.

Xu Zifan did not argue anymore with Hei Chengxi. He stood up and bowed at him. “Thank you for clearing my confusion,” he stated and then, left the private room.

Hei Chengxi took a deep breath. “Xu Guang Li, it is tough to handle your kids,” he murmured. He then recalled the plan that Xiwan had discussed with him. He had told him about his master, who happened to be Yuze, albeit, Hei Chengxi had already intuition that Yuze could be the only person who trained Xiwan.

“Qizhen, where are you?” Hei Chengxi mumbled.

Lóng Wei tilted his head up and looked at Bai Juchen, who was lecturing him. “Just shut your mouth. I do not want you to tell me how I should treat Mo Jinhai,” he said with a stern tone.

“Prince Lóng Wei, you are not supposed to talk this way with a General. He is older than you,” Huang Xi interrupted in their argument. He apologized to Bai Juchen and asked him to forgive Lóng Wei for the last time.

“Huang Xi, do not speak in my matter,” Lóng Wei said with a loud enough voice, and then he looked at Mo Jinhai, who was standing a few meters away from him with his head low.

“You should not have complained about me. I became evil when someone goes against my command. If you do not want your dead body to reach the Mo Residence, then do what I tell you to. I swear the next time I will not let it go,” Lóng Wei stated as he beamed at Jinhai. He kept his head low.

Mo Jinhai had thought that Lóng Wei would be quiet after Bai Juchen confront him. But the opposite happened with him. He recalled how he looked down at the people around him and now, Lóng Wei had shown him his place. For the first time, he accepted that Karma hit a person harder.

Lóng Wei motioned his hand in the air and pointed towards the entrance of the tent house. “The matter is solved, General Bai. You can leave. In the evening, I have to do some important work and for that, I need to rest. You can leave,” Lóng Wei asserted. Bai Juchen turned and walked out of the tent house.

“Feed him,” Lóng Wei ordered Huang Xi. Mo Jinhai looked at Lóng Wei, who had leaned back onto the chair. He had closed his eyes and told them to leave soon before he changed his mind.

“I cannot stand staying in Qijiang for more days. I want to go back to Li Hua,” he mumbled. He clasped his fingers together and put his hands on his lap. “I have to find that person soon, who helped the infiltrators from the Eastern Highlands,” he muttered and stayed in that position for some time.
