Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 310 - A Mother Is Always Good To Her Child!

Weng Wei placed her hand on her neck and confusedly looked at Sheng Li. "Still wondering what did I mean? Let me simplify this," Sheng Li stated and continued, "Your son, my respected First Brother will be banished after you get hanged. Do you want to save him?" Sheng Li waited for Weng Wei's answer.

"Stop threatening me. You cannot do anything to him," Weng Wei stated.

??

"I can and I will. You called me heartless, and I accepted that. You are not the only culprit in all this. Your son is also a culprit. I just need to tell my father how your son treated me. Do you think he will believe the son of his First Wife, who killed the former Empress?" Sheng Li questioned.

Weng Wei was terrified to hear that. She could not neglect the threats of Sheng Li. However, if she told the truth to Sheng Li then, the person who always aided her could even kill her son. Now, her end was near so, there would be no one to protect her son. She found herself stuck from both ends.

"Your highness," a voice interrupted them that was of a soldier. "The Emperor has ordered to bring Lady Wei to the Hanging grounds," the soldier informed them.

Sheng Li hummed while the soldier walked out. Sheng Li with a grin looked at Weng Wei. "Your death is calling you. You are still not speaking. So, you are not even a good mother. At last, you proved that you are a power-hungry woman, who knows only her benefits. I gave you a chance, but you lost it. Now, I have found out about that person, so I am confident that I will find him soon. I wish you a good journey after your death. I have heard the people who did wrong to people in their lives are not spared after they die. The same will happen to you," Sheng Li passed a smile to her and turned to go when Weng Wei stopped him.

"A mother is always good to her child! I will tell you, but you need to promise me something," Weng Wei affirmed.

Sheng Li turned to face her again. "What promise do you need?" He gazed into her eyes.

"Let's keep this conversation private. Send General Wang outside," Weng Wei requested.

Sheng Li glanced at Wang Hao. "Go and check on Ying Lili. She is alone in the chamber next to the barracks," Sheng Li ordered Wang Hao, who bowed and walked out.

Soon, Wang Hao arrived at the chamber. He saw the Crown Princess was on the chaise, patiently waiting for the Crown Prince. Upon hearing the footsteps, Ying Lili turned her eyes towards the door and saw General Wang.

A smile carved on her lips, and she slightly bowed her head to greet him. General Wang did the same and stood a meter away from her. "How is her highness? Pardon me for letting you get hurt," General Wang apologized.

"It was not your fault, General Wang. Everything happened so fast that it did not give anyone any time to react to anyone," Ying Lili asserted. "Please have a seat," she offered him to sit then. General Wang sat down on another chaise, facing the Crown Princess.

"Is Sheng Li still conversing with Lady Wei?" Ying Lili asked.

"Yes, your highness. He got a little angry earlier," replied Wang Hao. Ying Lili got a little tense upon hearing that.

"I could have been there, but I thought to let him solve his matter with Lady Wei. Because it is the anger of over twenty years, which was buried inside him, I did not tell him this time not to be furious at her," pronounced Ying Lili.

Wang Hao nodded his head in agreement. "Your highness, I remember the first day when you both met each other. For the first time, the Crown Prince worried about someone. I am glad that you two cleared the misunderstandings between each other and have become the strength of each other. His highness never was considerate to others, but not anymore. It feels good seeing my friend smile even for smaller reasons." Wang Hao recalled the time when Sheng Li used to bear everything alone, quietly. He always prayed for someone to come into his life, who could change him and make him feel happy all the time.

"General Wang, I need help from you." Wang Hao came out of his deep thoughts and asked for the command.

"There is a place that belongs to the late mother of Sheng Li. I want to revive that place and give him a surprise. I know you will soon leave with Hu Jingguo for the search for herbal medicine, but before that aid me in decorating that place. I do not think any other person whom I can take there, except you," Ying Lili proclaimed. She wanted to do it in a day.

"Your highness, you are still recovering. I do not think you shall work in this state. His highness will be angry at me for letting you work. Furthermore, I also do not want you to work," General Wang politely refused the request of Ying Lili.

Ying Lili was a little dejected. "Means I need to wait for a little more! But I am not weak enough. The medicines recommended by the Royal Physician are effective. I am gaining my strength," Ying Lili tried to make General Wang agree with her request.

"What kind of strength are you gaining?" Sheng Li voiced, making her jump from her seat. They both stood up from their respective seats as they saw Sheng Li there. He came near Ying Lili and looked at Wang Hao.

"What was she asking for?" Sheng Li asked Wang Hao, who looked at the Crown Princess. She shook her head, gesturing to him not to tell.

"Nothing, your highness. The Crown Prince said that she has gained her strength after consuming those medicines," Wang Hao lied to Sheng Li, who hummed.

"Weng Wei has been taken to the hanging grounds. Do you want to go there?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili, who refused.

"It is difficult to see," she said in a low voice.

Sheng Li nodded and patted her head. Wang Hao excused himself, leaving them behind.

Sheng Li placed his forefinger under Ying Lili's chin and lifted her face. "I waited for this day for many years. So, I will watch her die. After that, I will kill Zhang Yong for betraying my mother and poisoning her. Still, I want to ask you. Shall I kill him or spare him?" Sheng Li queried her.

"I promised you that whoever has tortured you and done wrong to you will be punished. Kill Zhang Yong because he did wrong to the Empress of the Empire because pardoning him will not be right," Ying Lili asserted. Sheng Li nodded and put his hand down.

Sheng Li pulled Ying Lili into a side hug. His chin rested over her head.
