Chapter 473 - 473 Can turn inhuman



473 Can turn inhuman

Li Hua dressed up in a man’s attire and left with Feng Lao to be at Chang Shi’s house until Xu Zifan would solve the matter with Li Jianjun. She thanked Chang Shi for helping her at this vulnerable time.

“The Princess Consort is embarrassing me,” Chang Shi said and placed the tray on the table. “Make yourself comfortable,” he said and handed her the glass of water. Feng Lao had left already as he had to go to meet Huang Xi.

Li Hua placed the glass on the table. “I hope I will not disturb Chang Shi during my stay here,” she said.

“Not at all, Your Highness,” Chang Shi said and put the glass above the tray.

“I can do the work too. I can do cooking and even do the other chores,” Li Hua said as she grabbed the tray’s one end.

Chang Shi smiled at her. “I cannot allow Her Highness to work here,” he said and asked her to take a rest.

“I will not feel good,” Li Hua said.

“Your Highness, consider me as your brother. I will not let you work here,” Chang Shi opined and left the room.

Li Hua looked at her clothes and decided to change them. After she changed into a hanfu dress, she went out of the room to look around. Her mind had a lot of things after she found out about Jianjun’s true intention. She felt that she was still a burden to her loved ones.

.....

She stopped by the pillar and looked at the sky. The clouds had gathered in the sky and she predicted that it would rain by the evening.

“Your Highness, why are you not inside?” Chang Shi asked. Li Hua turned to the left and saw him coming from the front.

“I am restless, Brother Chang Shi. What if something wrong happens to my brother and Feng Lao? Moreover, I am scared that Jianjun tells anyone in the palace that I did not go with Prince Lóng Wei to Dongxing, then what will happen? Prince Lóng Wei might get punished for lying,” she expressed her worries to Chang Shi.

“Your Highness, Jianjun will not do it. If he has to do it, he would have done it already. He wants to marry the First Princess as soon as possible. Also, there is no evidence that can prove his claim,” Chang Shi ended one of the worries of Li Hua. “Also, he cannot kill a person when three people know about it. It is not easy to kill someone,” he asserted.

“But Jianjun may try to harm my brother tonight. Does Brother Chang Shi not think so?” Li Hua asked him.

“By then, Xu Zifan and Feng Lao will shift to Huang Xi’s house,” Chang Shi said. “Li Jianjun is not like Kang Huijuan, who will try to kill without thinking and bring doom to the entire family. He has only threatened Xu Zifan so that his truth will not fall in anyone’s ears in the palace,” he elucidated to Li Hua.

“So, according to Brother Chang Shi, Li Jianjun will not do anything to harm them,” She asked to confirm.

Chang Shi nodded his head. “Li Jianjun is brainy, especially when the people he wanted to harm are close to Prince Lóng Wei. He has used this threat to expedite his marriage with the First Princess,” he asserted. It was merely a lie to keep Li Hua out of stress. In reality, Chang Shi also knew that Li Jianjun would try to kill Xu Zifan and Feng Lao.

Li Hua looked again towards the sky. “I miss Prince Lóng Wei. If he had been here, no such thing would have happened,” she said. “What does Brother Chang Shi think will Prince Lóng Wei would have done if he was here?” she asked.

“Prince Lóng Wei would have told the King and the Crown Prince or he might have done nothing,” Chang Shi stated.

Li Hua frowned to hear him and shifted her gaze at him.

“Why would Prince Lóng Wei not have done anything?” Li Hua asked.

“Because His Highness does not care what happens in the First Princess’s life. He does not like her and he would have advised Xu Zifan to just stay away from that matter,” Chang Xi answered in detail.

“Prince Lóng Wei would not have turned this inhuman,” Li Hua affirmed.

Chang Shi smiled to hear that statement. “Your Highness, Prince Lóng Wei can turn inhuman to those who never cared about him and always thought wrong for him. Also, he still has anger for what First Princess and he had a big argument,” he stated.

Li Hua recalled that time when Lóng Wei had almost killed Jingfei by strangulating her. If Mingquan had not come that day, Jingfei would have been dead. She remembered clearly that Jingfei used a bad word for her.

“Does Brother Chang Shi know Prince Lóng Wei’s past?” She asked with curiosity.

“I know a lot of things,” Chang Shi said and took a deep breath. “Prince Lóng Wei only desired of being loved by his mother. He had no greed other than that. I wish his mother could have given him that love,” he said and looked at Li Hua.

“Does Brother Chang Shi know that the present king forced Prince Lóng Wei’s mother to be his concubine?” Li Hua asked.

“I know,” Chang Shi replied, “Father used to converse about it with my mother. Earlier times were not good. We lost our previous king, and his younger brother usurped the throne,” Chang Shi stated.

“Brother Chang Shi seems a lot older than he looks,” Li Hua said.

“I am 26 years old, Your Highness,” he said. Li Hua realized that Chang Shi did not know the truth about Lóng Wei’s past.

“Prince Lóng Wei changed a bit after he married the Princess Consort. I am glad that he is able to survive all these years despite the coldness he received from everyone in the palace,” Chang Shi stated with a smile.
