453 How to hold the people
After the morning tea session, Lóng Wei was ready to leave for his manor for breakfast when he encountered the Crown Prince. He learned from Xiaoming how Xiuying forced him to take a concubine and even humiliated Jin Yu.
“So, what does the Crown Prince want me to do?” Lóng Wei questioned him.
“I thought to share with Brother Lóng Wei,” Xiaoming stated.
“No.” Lóng Wei clicked his tongue from the roof of his mouth. “The Crown Prince has to show what he is! He cannot let a consort of the King rule over him. I hope this advice he will keep in his mind,” Lóng Wei proclaimed and took his leave when Xiaoming stopped him.
“Brother Lóng Wei, it is not easy for me to go against everything unlike you,” Xiaoming remarked. “Please do not feel offended by this statement. I am telling my view,” he asserted.
“Then, the Crown Prince cannot lead us, people, this way. The Crown Prince needs to learn how to hold the people in his hand: elder or younger that does not matter,” Lóng Wei proclaimed. “If I had been your place and the Noble Consort had raised her hand on my Li Hua, I would have killed that person,” he affirmed.
Xiaoming furrowed his brows together. He realized that an apology was not enough from Xiuying. She badly humiliated Jin Yu.
“Why does the Crown Prince not make the Father agree to remove Kang Huijuan from the Governor’s office? He killed Jin Yu’s master and it is the right time to use it against him,” Lóng Wei suddenly brought up another topic of discussion. He could not see Kang Huijuan alive anymore and wanted him to die.
“Hmm.” Xiaoming’s facial expression changed into a menacing one and he decided to do that.
.....
“The Crown Prince is the next line in King and if he fears the consequences, then he will not be able to rule as the fearless King. A King is someone whose rules everyone follows and who makes such rules which prosper his subjects and the Kingdom,” Lóng Wei advised him. He did not like the fact that Xiaoming let go of Xiuying so easily.
“Brother Lóng Wei, Monk Yuze predicted you as the Dragon’s Son. You had told me once... almost two and a half months ago that if you wanted to take the throne away from me, then you would have already. You had warned me not to provoke you to do so.” Xiaoming’s words puzzled Lóng Wei as he was unable to understand what he wanted to say to him.
“What does the Crown Prince mean?” Lóng Wei urged him not to beat around the bush.
“Why is Brother Lóng Wei no longer interested in the Crown and the throne?” Xiaoming presented his question after simplifying it.
“I cannot answer the question of the Crown Prince today, but I will soon answer him,” Lóng Wei affirmed.
“Why can Brother Lóng Wei not answer me today? I think it is not difficult for you to answer this question,” Xiaoming deduced.
“The time has not come for me to answer this question,” Lóng Wei again refrained from answering. He bowed his head slightly and told the Crown Prince that he would take his leave. Xiaoming did not stop him and watched him leave.
Qiu Mu, who was on the other side of the pillar, heard their entire conversation. Xiaoming turned to go to his manor when Qiu Mu appeared out of the pillar, which startled the Crown Prince.
“Brother Mu, did you-” Xiaoming wondered if he heard their entire conversation.
“Did my mother slap the Crown Princess yesterday?” Qiu Mu asked.
“Yes,” Xiaoming answered.
“I apologize to you and the Crown Princess,” Qiu Mu lowered his head when Xiaoming requested him not to do so.
“I will talk to her regarding this. I am afraid that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have to undergo such embarrassment,” Qiu Mu as he gazed into Xiaoming’s eyes.
“It was not Brother Mu’s fault,” Xiaoming stated and told her not to do that anymore. Xiaoming then patted his shoulder and went ahead. On the other hand, Qiu Mu decided to see his mother.
Lóng Wei had crossed the corridor where Qiu Mu’s manor was when a voice stopped her. He tilted his head to look and saw Kang Cha Ying. Lóng Wei stepped forward when Cha Ying ran to him and stopped in front of him.
“What are you doing?” Lóng Wei got annoyed with her way to stop him. “Move, before I ask the servants to drag you away,” he commanded Cha Ying.
“The Prince is still furious at me. I will soon be the daughter-in-law in the Qiu Family and his elder Sister-in-law. I want Prince Lóng Wei not to judge me and my family because of the past. I have apologized to him yet it seems that he still has not forgiven me,” Cha Ying stated.
“Judge you and your family?” Lóng Wei chuckled to hear her. “I have no interest in judging others. I state the fact, Cha Ying. You need to open your third eye and see what kind of evil family you belong to, especially your dear brother, Kang Huijuan,” Lóng Wei pronounced with a smug. He walked past her when Cha Ying told him that Kang Huijuan had turned good after that day.
Lóng Wei could not stop himself and laughed aloud. He stopped after a while and turned to her. “A man like Kang Huijuan can never turn good. At least not at this birth. Do you want me to tell you what he did behind my back? He broke into my manor and said something to my wife which gives enough reason for his death. He should feel lucky that he is alive till now. So, do not trust him and your father too,” Lóng Wei stated with a stern tone.
Kang Cha Ying knitted her brows upon hearing all those words. Her brother again did something which was the reason for Lóng Wei’s angst. After that incident, she started to respect Lóng Wei a lot as he saved her brother’s life and she believed that her brother would never do wrong. However, after conversing with Lóng Wei, she realized that she still did not know what kind of man his brother was!
