Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

322 Mind was completely Blank

Feng Lao’s statement infuriated Lóng Wei. He asked Feng Lao to leave, as he would talk with him later. He had a lot of things on his mind currently.

“I won’t leave, Your Highness. Li Hua could have lost her life today. His Highness know well how the enemy is after her life,” Feng Lao stated.

Xiaoming and Liu Jin Yu got confused. They looked at each other and then at Lóng Wei, thinking what his answer would be.

Lóng Wei approached Feng Lao and grabbed him by his collar. He pulled him and told him to be within his limits. “I did not spare your life to hear this from you. So, shut your mouth. I know what is good for Li Hua and what is bad for her. Don’t show your authority over her. You always forget that you are no longer in her life,” Lóng Wei stated, and gritted his teeth at him before pushing him away.

“Leave,” Lóng Wei told Feng Lao.

Xiaoming came forward and took Feng Lao outside before they both started arguing or fighting.

After they left, Lóng Wei asked Liu Jin Yu to tell him everything. She narrated the incident and told him that the attack was directed at Li Hua only.

“Why do you think so?” Lóng Wei asked her.

“Because the shooter had his aim at Li Hua. I pulled her out of the palanquin at the right time,” Liu Jin Yu stated. Lóng Wei thanked her for controlling the situation there.

.....

“But Feng Lao saved her. Li Hua was stuck at her place. If Feng Lao hadn’t come at the right time, something big could have happened,” Liu Jin Yu stated.

“You may leave. Whatever you’ve heard here, it must not go out. I won’t hesitate to kill you,” Lóng Wei warned her. Liu Jin Yu was stunned by his statement.

“I am not interested in spreading information, Your Highness. You can trust me,” Liu Jin Yu said. She stepped forward to leave, but then she halted. “Your Highness, Li Hua needs good training for such situations. She gets scared easily. I do not know what happened to her in the past, but she needs to overcome this soon,” she informed him before leaving the bedchamber.

Lóng Wei went to the bed and pushed the curtains away. He sat on the mattress and held her hand. He was scared from the inside, but he could not even let this fear appear on his face.

He brought her hands close to his mouth and kissed her knuckles. He knew that she must have been frightened to see them fight and get killed.

He moved the blanket away from her to check if she was not hurt. Until he didn’t see with his own eyes, he would not feel relaxed. He checked her neck first, and then her arms. There was slight blood on her palms and he wiped them.

He was not even in a state to speak. His mind was completely blank. This unknown enemy attacked the most precious person to Lóng Wei to check not only Lóng Wei’s reaction but also making him fall weak. He put Li Hua’s hands down and then covered her with the blanket. A tear drop fell from his eye.

He had never shed even a single tear all these years, except when he was a child. He didn’t want to cry, but tears filled his eyes soon. He sniffled and his vision became cloudy because of the tears. He wiped the tears from his eyes using the sleeves. He rubbed his eyes and then took a deep breath.

He stayed in that position until Li Hua gained consciousness. Her eyeballs moved, and she gradually opened her eyes. He found Lóng Wei in front of her and realized that she was in the bedchamber.

“Li Hua,” Lóng Wei called out her name and rested his hand on her cheek, stroking her cheek gently. Li Hua recalled everything and realized that she killed a man.

“I killed him,” Li Hua said with a trembling tone.

“Killed whom?” Lóng Wei got confused.

“The shooter had aimed at Jin Yu. I picked up the sword,” she lifted her hands and looked at her hands, “and killed him. I did not want to do it.”

“Li Hua, you didn’t do anything wrong,” Lóng Wei said and held her hands. “You were brave to hold the sword and save the life of a good person,” he stated.

“Did I make the right decision? What about the family of that shooter?” She asked.

“You did the right thing, or else Jin Yu would have lost her life. You would have felt more guilty than not carrying a weapon,” Lóng Wei stated. Li Hua hummed and asked him if he saved her.

“No. It was Feng Lao,” Lóng Weo truthfully answered her. “He saved you at the right time,” he stated.

Li Hua furrowed her brows together.

“Do you want to drink the water?” Lóng Wei asked her. She nodded, and he quickly turned to the bedside table and filled the glass with water. Li Hua sat up on the bed, and Lóng Wei brought the glass to her mouth. She held it from the top and drank the water.

He put the glass on the table and wiped her lips using his thumbs. He stroked her hair and asked her if she recalled anything when those unknown men attacked them.

“Yes. That night, my family died the same way. I was terrified. Your Highness, I am still weak,” Li Hua said, and lowered her head in embarrassment. “The incident from that night has imprinted on my mind,” she added.

Lóng Wei cupped her face in his palms and asked her to look into his eyes. Li Hua lifted her eyelids and peered into his eyes.

“It is not wrong to be weak, Li Hua. You are not weak, but the memories from the night sometimes stop you from taking action. You held a sword, which in itself shows that you have overcome the slight fear in you,” Lóng Wei stated. His words made her feel better.
