MARRIED TO A CRUEL CROWN PRINCE

The Biggest Lion is in front of you!

Chapter 36: The greatest lion is in front of you!

"How can one be suspicious of the crown prince. You can come up with many reasons. Please, let's go to the market. I have never been to the market. I also want to see what food people eat. Here and this is the best opportunity for us," Ying Lili tried to take Sheng Li into account.

Lei Wanxi and General Xiao looked at each other. "Can you see General Xiao how much the crown prince has changed himself? A woman has the power to change a man and it is really noticeable. The crown prince approved the choice of the crown princess easily which was very visible," Lei Wanxi proclaimed as she stared at the two.

"Prince Lei is right. The crown prince acts differently around the crown princess. I've never seen him like this before" General Xiao confirmed and stared at the crown and the crown princess.

"Lili, you're not an ordinary person nor am I. If someone is going to notice me, everything can go wrong. Can't you just put your little brain in?" Sheng Li said as he flicked the forehead of Ying Lili who shouted softly and rubbed her forehead.

"Sheng Li, we can hide our faces then, no one will know" Ying Lili proclaimed.

"Then, how are we gonna eat?" Sheng Li asked.

"We'll. Let's go to the market," Ying Lili confirmed as she grabbed Sheng Li's arm which saw her hand so, she immediately put it down.

"The lantern festival is coming soon. We can leave that day," Sheng Li said.

"It would be more dangerous. Moreover, I did not think I would be allowed to go outside the Palace that day. I will be busy that day," Ying Lili replied and sighed. Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili who looked like a child to him back then. "Why am I even listening to him? I'll take him back to the Palace but there's something strange. Something stopped me from doing that," Sheng Li thought in his mind.

"Close your face from this," Sheng Li confirmed and took out a white silk handkerchief from within his robe. Ying Lili's eyes sparkled as the crown prince prepared to take her to the market. "But, how are you going to filter your face?" Ying Lili questioned him curiously.

Sheng Li turned around to look at General Xiao. "Xiao, we're going to the market. How do I cover my face so that people can't recognize me?" Sheng Li asked from the general.

"Your Majesty, the cone-shaped hat will cover your face to some extent but, if someone will look at you intently, someone can recognize you" General Xiao advised.

"Why don't you try the mustache, brother sheng? Wait, I got a fake in the hut. I brought. I have kept it for that time only," Lei Wanxi said with a smile and entered the hut. . Ying Lili was overjoyed and quickly covered her face with a white silk handkerchief. "Don't make trouble for me there and try to cooperate with me," Sheng Li said to Ying Lili who shook her head in agreement.

Lei Wanxi came up to the crown prince and placed a fake mustache over Sheng Li's upper lip and pressed it hard against his skin. "Be gentle," Sheng Li said to the smiling Lei Wanxi and pressed her even harder. General Xiao came with two conical hats in his hands and handed them to Lei Wanxi. "Brother, put on this hat and take care of my beautiful sister" Lei Wanxi said.

"Brother Sheng, don't worry. The people of the Palace just think that you two are spending time with each other. So, you can enjoy your time outside the Palace as much as you can. It will only benefit you," Lei Wanxi in a seductive tone.

"Sister Lili, this is wearing this hat and take the handkerchief out of your mouth" Lei Wanxi advised Ying Lili. The cone-shaped hat had a veil around it that would hide his face. The veil is white and translucent.

Sheng Li took the hat from Ying Lili's hand and removed the mask from her face that he made from the handkerchief. Then, he placed a conical hat on top of Ying Lili's head and placed a veil under her, covering her face.

"We'll see you after two hours" Sheng Li told them.

"Your Majesty, take this with you. You will go outside, so, it will be needed," General Xiao said anxiously as he handed the dagger to the crown prince. Sheng Li took it and hid it near the belt. "Let's go," Sheng Li said to Ying Lili and the two walked away from there.

As they walked, Ying Lili found difficulty while walking through the rocky and unsteady path as Sheng Li grabbed her wrist. Ying Lili peeked at the crown prince but she did not oppose this time and followed him.

"How long are we gonna be there?" Ying Lili asked Sheng Li.

"That minimum of 20 minutes also depends on your speed," Sheng Li replied as they descended the naturally carved stairs. "You can let go of my hand. The path seemed to be fine now," Ying Lili said. Sheng Li immediately released his grip from Ying Lili's wrist.

"Why are you walking behind me? Do you want to be pet food here?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili who immediately came beside him. "There are wild animals too?" Ying Lili with a tense expression asked and looked around.

"Hm...General Xiao said that the last time two villagers were killed by a lion was here" Sheng Li confirmed. Ying Lili looked at Sheng Li and then gulped. "You seem to be scared," Sheng Li told Ying Lili as he peeked into her eyes through the veil. "Don't scare me," Ying Lili said with a stern expression as they heard the roar of the lion.

Ying Lili stopped in her place and told Sheng Li that they should return. "Why? We'll be there soon," Sheng Li confirmed.

"Are you not afraid? Lions," Ying Lili's voice choked in her throat in fear.

"The biggest lion is in front of you, Lili!" Sheng Li smilingly said.
