Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 192 - Aren't You Scared?

Ying Lili widened her eyes as she was kissed by Sheng Li. In this situation, she did not expect this from him. Sheng Li pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Do you think I did that because I want to show off? Did you see how many assassins were there? Even if the arrow had poison, it would not have harmed me. You were not allowed to come there. If he had shot it towards you, then it would be a bigger problem for me." Sheng Li pulled out the fake mustache which was placed on Ying Lili's upper lip.

In those few seconds, Ying Lili's heart raced when she felt Sheng Li's thumb on her cheek. "Don't ever come like this. It scares me," Sheng Li whispered and touched his forehead against hers. Ying Lili closed her eyes and felt the hot breaths that were hitting on her lips.

"But you impressed me. I was wrong about you! You were indeed great today. I saw the way you killed a few assassins there without thinking about your life. I have never cared like this before by anyone, so it's very new to me. I am angry at myself that my woman does not listen to me. Xiao and even Kofeng listened to you, which infuriated me," Sheng Li told Ying Lili.

"You are my husband, so I could not sit and wait for you to come back. Even my man does not listen to me, which angers me," Ying Lili pronounced, and gradually opened her eyes. She pried into the eyes of Sheng Li, which were intensely looking at hers.

"Let's have lunch. I'm hungry. It's almost evening. Our plan to go with the Merchants failed as well," Ying Lili stated. Sheng Li hummed, but he did not let go of Ying Lili. He dipped his face closer to Ying Lili's such that their noses touched each other. "Aren't you scared sometimes that being with me can endanger your life?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

"No. I know my husband will save me from those dangers," Ying Lili replied. Their lips were an inch apart and now were brushing against each other when they heard someone had opened the door. Ying Lili's reflex acted fast, and she ended up slapping Sheng Li to push him away, though the force he felt on his cheek was light, it shocked him.

"Your highness, this medicine needed to be applied over the wound of the Crown Princess," Hu Jingguo told Sheng Li who was standing there with his hand on his cheek and a bewildered expression on his face.

"Did something happen?" Wang Hao asked who entered after Hu Jingguo.

"Do you not know the word 'knock'?" Sheng Li put his hand down.

Hu Jingguo forgot to knock as he was worried about the wound on the hand of the Crown Princess. "Forgive me, I forgot. The injury can get infected, so I brought this," Hu Jingguo, with a stutter said and showed the herbal paste to Sheng Li.

Sheng Li without saying anything walked out from there. Ying Lili looked at him when the door slammed loudly. "Did I interrupt you two?" Hu Jingguo asked.

"No."

Wang Hao left behind the Crown Prince, leaving Ying Lili and Hu Jingguo in the room. Sheng Li was standing near the deck railing of the second floor, both hands resting on its upper end. Xiao Zhan and Wang Hao came near him. The two Generals stood on either side of the Crown Prince.

"Forgive me, your highness." Xiao Zhan apologized.

"Next time don't act like this," Sheng Li told Xiao Zhan who gave a nod.

"Did you find something?" Sheng Li asked Wang Hao, tilting his head towards him.

"Cai Hong did all this," Wang Hao informed Sheng Li who drew his brows together.

"That guy who wanted to be the General?" Sheng Li asked Wang Hao.

"Yes, your highness. Cai Hong wanted to kill his highness because of that reason only but that was one-sided. He was working for the Empress and I found two scrolls from him," Wang Hao asserted. Sheng Li told them to follow him to the room.

They were now in the room next to Ying Lili's. Pulling the chairs out, the three took on their respective seats. General Wang handed the scrolls to the Crown Prince who opened one of them. "This is not the writing of the Empress," Sheng Li pronounced and read the message.

"Kill the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess before they reach Luoyang," Sheng Li read out and then opened the other scroll. In that scroll, there was a route map to go to the Southern Province. "He followed us the time we left Luoyang," Sheng Li murmured and again picked the scroll in which the message was written.

"We are stuck. Going back to Luoyang is difficult now. We do not know who is ahead in our way," Sheng Li proclaimed.

"Your highness, we can take the route of the forest to reach the outer border of the Southern Province but the forest route is not preferred because of the wild animals. It would be risky but less than going straight among a group," Xiao Zhan suggested.

"Wild animals are not a problem. We will take this route in the early morning. We need to get out of this forest before the evening. But because no one has ever used this, we are unsure if we will not deviate from the true path. Check a local here who has used this route. We will not leave until we are sure about the route," Sheng Li commanded both Generals.

"Yes, your highness."

Sheng Li stood up from the chair, folded the two scrolls, and left for his room. Entering the room, he told Hu Jingguo to leave, who stood up from the chair and walked out. Sheng Li put the scrolls on the table there and took off the upper robe.

"Forgive me for earlier," Ying Lili apologized to Sheng Li.

"You need to compensate for that," Sheng Li stated and smirked.
