Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 570 - 570 Feed the same poison to him [Bonus chapter]



After applying the perfume to his neck, he left to see if Li Hua had woken up from sleep or not.

As he entered the bedchamber, he found Li Hua was still sleeping. This was the first instance where Li Hua would be late for the morning greetings. He walked up to her and sat on the mattress. Placing his hand on her hair, Lóng Wei softly called out her name.

Li Hua opened her eyes after Lóng Wei called her name a few times. She felt the sharp pain in her head and flipped in his direction before sitting up. “My head is aching,” Li Hua complained and rested her head on his chest.

“Why did you drink so much?” Lóng Wei asked. His hand was still at the back of her head. “Were you not supposed to take a limited amount of wine?” he queried.

“It was fun,” Li Hua said in a low voice.

“I will ask the servant to bring the hangover soup for you. You should freshen up by then,” Lóng Wei asserted and stroked her hair.

Li Hua pulled away and hummed. “How did I reach the chamber? I do not even remember. I did not trouble His Highness, right?” She questioned.

“The servants bring you here. You were in a drunken state,” Lóng Wei replied. “You kissed me and wanted to make love,” he added.

.....

“Prince Lóng Wei should not lie in the morning,” Li Hua said and playfully hit his chest. But then, the smirk on Lóng Wei’s face made her realize that he was telling the truth.

She brought her hands before her mouth to cover it and stopped blinking. “How could I do this?” She murmured.

“Go and take a warm bath. Do you want me to help you?” Lóng Wei asked with an amusing smile.

Li Hua shook her head and quickly jumped out of the bed.

“Will you go to the bathhouse without putting on your robes?” Lóng Wei’s statement made her stop. She looked at herself and found out that she had not worn the upper robe. Her arms were bare and she found her silk long-sleeve coat on the other side of the bed. She crossed her arms across her chest and took a few steps back.

“Will His Highness pass me—” before she could finish her words, she felt the yellow silk coat over her shoulder.

“What is there to shy about? I have already seen your body,” Lóng Wei said.

Li Hua bit her bottom lip and then quickly tied the knot on the coat. She ran out of the room while Lóng Wei continued to smile at her actions.

Li Hua returned to Lóng Wei’s chamber after taking a hot bath and dressing up in a green hanfu dress. Lóng Wei made her drink the hangover soup before they headed to greet Qizhen. Now, there was no morning tea session like before.

While they were returning to their manor, Li Hua asked Lóng Wei why he did not sit with Qizhen for drinking tea.

“Because I do not want to drink tea today,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Did His Highness also drink a lot of wine like me?” Li Hua asked.

“No. I did not touch wine yesterday,” Lóng Wei replied. “I was with Chang Shi to know about a certain matter,” he informed her.

“Prince Lóng Wei was not with the other princes!” Li Hua again asked to confirm.

“I sat with them for some time, but later I left,” Lóng Wei stated.

“What matter did Prince Lóng Wei discuss with Brother Chang Shi?” Li Hua asked.

“About Li Jianjun,” Lóng Wei answered. He saw the carts of goods coming from the front and pulled Li Hua to his left side and walked on her right side.

“Li Jianjun? Is he still planning to trouble us?” Li Hua queried.

“Not us, but Xu Zifan. When we will not be in the capital, then he may try to harm Xu Zifan and Jingfei,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“We should tell this to the Crown Prince. Li Jianjun should be imprisoned,” Li Hua muttered.

“That will not suffice his anger. Chang Shi will be active when we leave for the journey,” Lóng Wei stated.

“But what if despite the precautions Prince Lóng Wei will take, Li Jianjun succeeds in harming my elder brother and his wife?” Li Hua raised a suspicion.

“That will not happen,” Lóng Wei said with a confident tone.

“Your Highness, will you not ask for a death sentence for Qiu Zedong?” Li Hua asked.

“The Crown Prince has told me that he would not take the decision. I can take my decision on Qiu Zedong’s punishment,” Lóng Wei said. “I plan to feed him a slow and deadly poison. It will attack the important organs of his body first and then, affect his movement. I cannot go on the journey without killing him.”

Li Hua asked him if he had arranged the poison.

“It was present in Qiu Zedong’s chamber. He wanted to feed it to my mother if that night she failed to die,” Lóng Wei stated.

Li Hua’s heart sank to hear that. Qiu Zedong was the cruelest person she had ever encountered and known.

“I should feed the same poison to him, which he once wanted to use against my mother,” Lóng Wei said.

They reached outside the manor when Lóng Wei asked her to go in. “I need to see Qiu Zedong. I will return soon,” he stated.

Li Hua hummed and walked into the manor. On the other hand, Lóng Wei left for the prison to see Qiu Zedong.

When he reached the prison, he found Zhu Liling there who was shouting at the soldiers.
