Chapter 359 - Miss You Badly!
"You do not seem like a Prince. You lack the skills despite being a Prince and have never trained," the woman pronounced and chuckled. "Brother, please take him to the Police Bureau and investigate the matter," the woman stated. Before Lei Wanxi could tell her to apologize to him, she left the sight, kicking the dead body, which was in her way.
"How dare you talk to me this way? I am indeed strong," Lei Wanxi shouted. He never got irked by anyone. Duan Xie told him to calm down. "You shall go back to the Palace, Prince Wanxi. I will see you later." Lei Wanxi's mood was already ruined by this woman. Without saying goodbye to Duan Xie, he left from there.
Lei Wanxi reached the Palace before evening. He could have gotten late because of that woman and missed meeting Sheng Li before his departure. The Sixth Prince found the Crown Prince in front of Fu Imperial Gates with everyone surrounding him.
Lei Wanxi ran towards there, calling out the name of Sheng Li. "Brother Sheng!" Hearing his voice, everyone turned to him and was shocked to see his state. Sheng Li furrowed his eyebrows. Lei Wanxi halted in front of Sheng Li and hugged him tightly.
"Oh, I am happy that I did not get late, Brother Sheng. Take care of yourself, Brother Sheng, and do not worry about Sister Lili. I will take care of her," Lei Wanxi whispered in the ear of Sheng Li, who was patting his back. They both pulled away when Sheng Li asked him with whom he had fought.
"Long story, Brother Sheng! When you return to the Capital, I will narrate it to you," Lei Wanxi affirmed.
"You are injured, Wanxi. Did someone try harming you?" Jian Guozhi intervened between them. Lei Wanxi turned to him and shook his head. "I fell while walking," Lei Wanxi lied.
"Be careful. You cannot let yourself get hurt," Yongzheng stated. Lei Wanxi smiled upon seeing how much his elder brothers cared for him. Lei Wanxi went towards Nianzu and stood beside him. Nianzu put his hand around him and looked towards Sheng Li, who was conversing with the other Princes.
Hu Jingguo came to Lei Wanxi and grabbed his hands. "Prince has injured his hands. It seems someone pushed you to the ground. We are leaving, else the Crown Prince would have broken his hands whoever did this," Jingguo stated, and pulled his hands back. Taking a tiny bottle from his pocket, he handed it to Lei Wanxi.
"They will heal if the Prince applies it." Lei Wanxi gladly took the medicine bottle from him and hugged him tightly. "You are leaving again. It's tough to spend time with my friend. Come back soon. I have so much to tell you. I will wait for you," Lei Wanxi wished him a safe journey.
Hu Jingguo pulled back and thanked the Sixth Prince for the wishes. He went towards Ying Lili, who was a little worried but not letting it show on her face. "We will keep sending you messages upon reaching the particular location," Hu Jingguo assured her. Ying Lili nodded and passed him a smile.
Since there were many Regal Family members so, Hu Jingguo could not even hug Ying Lili openly. "I will patiently wait for your safe arrival. Come back soon," Ying Lili told him.
"I will. Then, we will fly kites together. It has been such a long time since we flew the last time. There are special medicine books which I wrote all these years. You can read them. It will be useful," Hu Jingguo stated. Ying Lili hummed. She did not stop herself and hugged him tightly. Sheng Li, who was conversing with the First Prince and Second Prince saw them while the other Princes and their wives were shocked.
Hu Jingguo put his hand on her shoulder and caressed it. "Everyone is watching us, Lili," he said. Ying Lili knew that, but she wanted to do that. The Crown Princess did not know the reason why she did that. There was a strange fear in her heart. Hu Jingguo had never been to such missions, so that could be a reason for her insecurity.
"The Crown Princess is indeed bold. She doesn't care about the norms set for the women," Rong Zemin remarked. Sheng Li did not say anything, as he understood why Ying Lili did that. He let her hug him.
"The Crown Prince is not getting angry. It means that he trusts her wife a lot. The Crown Princess is indeed lucky to have such a husband," Bai Yaling said with a smile. Xue Yu-Yan agreed with her.
Ying Lili pulled away and looked at Sheng Li, who came towards her. Hu Jingguo stepped back as the Crown Prince approached them.
He saw tears in Ying Lili's eyes. He knew it was for him. Whenever he went to battles, except his father, he never saw tears in the eyes of others. He found out how deeply Ying Lili loved him. She was holding back all this to give him strength. His heart once again fluttered and he took another step towards Ying Lili, leaving an infinitesimal distance between them.
He ran his thumb over Ying Lili's cheek, soothing her. "If you will make such a face, it will be hard for me to leave," Sheng Li whispered.
"But you need to fulfill your duties, so you have to leave," Ying Lili proclaimed.
Sheng Li nodded and leaned closer to her. Hu Jingguo lowered his eyes while the other Princes averted their gazes. The Princesses lowered their heads as they all knew what was going to happen next.
Sheng Li placed a soft kiss on Ying Lili's lips without thinking about his surroundings. He pulled back and looked into her eyes which were flickering. He again captured her lips and kissed her deeply. Ying Lili did not stop him or it appeared as if she had forgotten her surroundings at that time.
They pulled back and hugged each other. "I am going to miss you badly," Sheng Li whispered in her ear. "I wish I could accompany you," Ying Lili replied. The two stayed in that position until they heard Wang Hao's voice.
"Your highness, we need to leave, else we might get late," pronounced Wang Hao. They pulled back, but Sheng Li again pulled Ying Lili by her arm. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and stroked her hair.
Pulling back, he went towards Kongqi. Hopping on it, he for the last time looked at Ying Lili. Passing a smile to her, Sheng Li rode his horse while Wang Hao and Hu Jingguo followed him on their resort horses. Ying Lili started walking behind Sheng Li. The tears in her eyes finally poured down as Sheng Li left her sight. "I did not know that such a day would also come," she mumbled.
Jian Guozhi came towards her. "If I tell the Crown Princess not to worry, she will not listen to me. But I can say and even assure her that the Crown Prince will be safe," Jian Guozhi stated. The other Princes had also gone towards the Crown Princess and assured her the same.
