Chapter 35: What kind of husband does she want?
General Xiao and Lei Wanxi walked out of the room leaving the crown prince, the crown princess, and Hu Jingguo inside. Ying Lili came towards Hu Jingguo and looked at him. He sat on a bamboo bench and looked over the entire face of Jingguo He asked why he had come to the capital. "Because I'm worried about your k-you," Jingguo replied to her. Hearing his words, Sheng Li clenched his hands tightly behind his back.
"Don't worry about me. I'm happy here" Ying Lili told Jingguo. "Are you telling the truth? Are you happy?" Hu Jingguo questioned Ying Lili.
"I asked about your husband. You are always afraid of what kind of husband you will get when you are getting married," Hu Jingguo said and then looked at Sheng Li who was getting angrier with his question.
Ying Lili turned her head and looked at Sheng Li. For the first time, Ying Lili looked at Sheng Li lovingly. "People are wrong about him. He's not as cruel as we all used to think. She also remembered my choice and hence, made up her mind," Ying Lili uttered and smiled lightly to the amused Sheng Li. by Ying Lili's reply to Jingguo. Without speaking anything, Sheng Li walked out of the room.
Hu Jingguo smiled and spoke, "I'm glad the crown prince noticed you. But, in prison, it seems the opposite to me. However, I think it is because His Majesty is angry to see his wife siding with others.human," Hu Jingguo proclaimed. Ying Lili looked at him and nodded.
"What if you're gonna be killed? You should not risk your life," Ying Lili said.
"I don't know. I thought they wouldn't let me meet you and I'm worried whether you're safe or not. You know what the image of the crown prince is, so I took that picture in my mind. I think he's gonna hurt you. There are many thoughts in my mind but now, I have heard from your mouth so, I am relieved," Hu Jinguo said and gave Ying Lili a small smile.
"You should rest," Ying Lili said to him.
"I did take the rest, indeed" Jingguo confirmed. "The sixth prince told me that this was the first time the crown prince had saved someone's life. You may ask for it" Jingguo said.
"No. He told me you were dead. He likes to play with me" Ying Lili confirmed.
Jingguo smiled. "How's my mom doing?" Ying Lili asked Jingguo.
"He's fine. There are strange rumors about your father's death" Jingguo said, leaving Ying Lili confused. "What do you mean?" Ying Lili asked him.
Ying Lili's eyes widened. "This is not true. Sheng Li killed him," Ying Lili said with a sad expression.
"I guess not. Your uncle has changed many policies for subjects that impact the people. Taxes were raised and working hours also increased. The situation is not good at Juyan. If I did not know his crown.The prince then, I would also assume that His Majesty killed your father but he did not. That's your uncle. The good thing is that your mother is fine, "Hu Jingguo told Ying Lili that surprised her.
"Uncle tells me that the crown prince made him lie that he killed his brother for the throne," Ying Lili was still not ready to believe this.
"Ying'er, but it seems otherwise. The crown prince was not the one who killed your father," Hu Jingguo emphasized his words. Ying Lili furrowed her brows, she would ask more when Sheng Li entered and said, "Your time is up. We have to go back to the palace." Ying Lili looked at Hu Jingguo and told him to take care of himself and walk out of there. Sheng Li was also about to leave when Jingguo gathered his courage calling him out. "Your Majesty, can we talk for a moment?" Jingguo asked Sheng Li.
"No, I don't want to," Sheng Li simply refused.
"It's about Yinger" Jingguo said. Sheng Li's brows knit and he closed the door behind him. Sitting on a bamboo bench, Sheng Li had Jingguo speak quickly because he did not have much time.
"He saved me when I was harassed by my master because I was a slave. Since then she was everything - I mean my sister and my family. Every time he lied to me, I caught him easily.Wh why? Because he can't lie . I came here only for that reason - to see if he was happy with His Majesty or not. Your Majesty, never doubt it. He is the most trustworthy person. She's only 20 years old but, she's the smartest woman I've ever seen. Be the husband Ying'er always wanted! You also saved my life so, I believe that His Majesty is indeed not as cruel as described, "Hu Jingguo rested his words.
"What kind of husband does she want?" Sheng Li hesitantly asked.
Jingguo smiled and spoke, "Your Majesty will know of this."
Sheng Li was upset and stood up from the chair. "Shut your mouth. I don't want to listen to anything." Sheng Li felt sad and walked out from there. As he exited Ying Lili, Lei Wanxi and General Xiao peeked at the crown prince.
"What are you two talking about?" Ying Lili asked curiously.
"That I will kill him immediately," Sheng Li said in annoyance and walked forward. Ying Lili followed him and caught him. "I'm hungry. Since we are outside the palace, we will eat something outside," Ying Lili proposed as she looked at the crown prince.
