Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 687 - Share Of Sufferings

Chapter 687 - Share Of Sufferings

Wang Hao paced in the courtyard as Huo Jin had still not returned home. He was panicked about his safety. Also, his sister Yin Na had refused to talk to him about Huo Jin. He had no idea what actually was happening.

He heard footsteps and turned to look towards the door when he saw Huo Jin. His restless heart calmed down and he walked to him. "Where were you?" He asked him. Huo Jin found the worried expression on Wang Hao's face.

Why were these people so good to him? It always astonished him that despite his nature, there were some great people around him, who cared for him.

"General Wang, I took some fresh air," he replied. "Prince Nianzu was with me. So, we conversed for some time," he replied.

"Oh. You suddenly left the Palace after asking a question from me," Wang Hao. "Are you feeling better?" He questioned him.

"Yes, General Wang," Huo Jin replied. "Thank you for making me meet the Empress. I have found clear answers regarding my life," Huo Jin expressed his gratitude.

Wang Hao was delighted to hear that. It was a wise decision to talk with the Empress. However, he wondered what they both conversed about that made Huo Jin react that way!

"General Wang, you have done so much for me. You took a nobody like me in your home and also made me a part of this Wang family."

Huo Jin's words confused him. Wang Hao told him not to make him feel embarrassed.

"Forgive me for hurting your sister, General Wang," Huo Jin's sudden apology bewildered him. "I hurt her heart badly. If General Wang allows me then I want to heal Yin Na's broken heart," Huo Jin thought to take permission from Wang Hao first.

"What? Are you serious?" He asked him.

"Yes, General Wang," Huo Jin answered.

"You do not need to force yourself for this. Loving someone is not easy," Wang Hao said. He realized his mistake when Sheng Li scolded him for forcing Huo Jin to see his sister as a woman. He was only thinking about Yin Na, but he failed to understand Huo Jin's confusion.

"General Wang, I am not doing it because of that reason. I want to do it for myself and Yin Na," Huo Jin affirmed.

A smile appeared on Wang Hao's lips. "That's great. Do anything to mend her broken heart. I allow you and also support you," he delightedly said and showed his support to Huo Jin.

"Thank you, General Wang. I will not disappoint you and anyone around me this time," Huo Jin assured him.

"She is not even talking with me. In my opinion, talk to her tomorrow. You shall take a rest. I will go back to my room. My marriage is after two days… after a day," Wang Hao said with a smile. "There are many things to prepare," he stated.

Huo Jin again gave him his best wishes. They both left for their respective rooms.

Huo Jin, after taking a bath came to his room and changed into a white Hanfu dress. While returning home, he had bought dumplings for Yin Na. The last time they went to the market, she ate so many dumplings. He picked up the paper envelope and went to Yin Na's room.

"Miss has already slept off," her personal attendant informed Huo Jin, who looked at the envelope in his hand.

"Yin Na usually sleeps late," Huo Jin said.

"Miss was tired from practicing, and also she needs to wake up early," she stated.

Huo Jin almost forgot that he made her practice archery for an hour. He hummed and left, murmuring, "I had brought dumplings for her."

Yin Na, who was still awake, heard the conversation. She had requested her personal attendant to lie to Huo Jin. There were tears in her eyes. "How could he come back when I already told him that it's ended!" She mumbled as tears streamed down her cheeks. She pulled the blanket up and buried her face in the pillow.

Lei Wanxi got happy seeing his favorite dumplings from the person.

"Thank you, Brother Nianzu," Lei Wanxi opened the envelope when Rong Zemin pulled out a dumpling stick for himself.

"Brother, return that!" He urged him.

"Can't you share with your elder brother?" Rong Zemin asked him and ate one of the dumplings from the stick.

"Brother Nianzu has purchased it for me," Lei Wanxi said and started to whine. The three brothers were in the Eastern Pavilion, seated on the circular wooden stools.

"There are three more sticks," Rong Zemin said as he licked his lips.

Lei Wanxi took out another stick and ate the dumplings. He asked Nianzu before eating if he wanted to eat, but he refused.

After they finished eating, Rong Zemin asked a servant to bring water for them. "The sauce was spicy," Rong Zemin complained when the servant quickly served water to them.

Both of them drank the water when Lei Wanxi asked Nianzu what he was doing in the market.

"I had some work," Nianzu lied to him, and he did not seem appropriate to tell them about Huo Jin.

"Brother Nianzu should have told me to accompany you as well," Lei Wanxi said as he wiped his fingers with the handkerchief.

"I heard that your marriage is delayed for a month," Rong Zemin said and started to tease him.

"Brother Zemin, it's not good to tease your younger brother," he stated.

"Princess Bai Yaling is marrying General Wang. The First Consort Dowager has also agreed to this," Rong Zemin informed them. "However, she wanted to see her grandchild," he added.

"She can anytime. General Wang's residence is nearest to the Imperial Palace," Lei Wanxi replied. "Sister Bai can come anytime with General Wang with her child," he affirmed.

"That's not allowed if you remember. Once a woman leaves her house, she cannot come back," Rong Zemin reminded him.

"General Wang can bring the child with him when he or she will grow up," Nianzu stated.

"Where is the First Brother these days?" Nianzu asked them.

"He seems busy with Capital's work these days," Rong Zemin replied.

"Empress Wei's birth anniversary is coming. I think Brother Jian is sad about that," Nianzu deduced. "I saw him a few days ago outside the chamber of his mother, however, he did not go in," Nianzu stated.

"Brother Jian is angry at his mother. We all know how much he respected her and adored her. Without her, he did not even make any decision. He must be missing her these days," Rong Zemin pronounced.

"Also, if you go to the Capital's streets, you might hear people sometimes gossiping about his mother. He was once undercover with me, and ended up hearing such things in a local wine shop," He informed them.

"It's tough to stop people," Nianzu stated. "Brother Jian has to fight with this even though he did not do anything wrong."

"So many things happened in this Imperial Palace. Everyone has his own share of sufferings, but in the end, the love brought them together. We need to make constructive efforts in keeping this Palace a healthy place," Nianzu asserted. The two Princes agreed with him and smiled at each other.
