Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 654 Because my mother was involved

"Shouldn't you be at your home?" Lóng Wei asked Kang Huijuan. "Your brother told me that you would be a father soon. The delivery is near," he stated.

"I was heading home, but I couldn't stop myself from talking to the prince," Kang Huijuan replied. "Prince Lóng Wei didn't give me the chance to properly apologize to him," he asserted.

"I have forgiven you already. That's why you are out of prison. Had you thrown away your ego earlier, I would have let you go out of the prison," Lóng Wei said.

"I regret my old self," Kang Huijuan said. "So, why was Prince Lóng Wei looked infuriated?" He asked again. "What did Chen Xiao say to the prince that angered him?" He took steps toward Lóng Wei.

"I don't think we share a relationship where we both can tell each other anything," Lóng Wei remarked.

"His Highness is right," Kang Huijuan said. "I found out everything from my father that happened a few months back. Forgive me Prince Lóng Wei for always judging you and ridiculing your late mother. I know my apology will not be enough to show my sincerity, that's why I want to show it with my actions."

Lóng Wei extended his hand to his shoulder and placed it there. "It's alright. I also blamed her all my life, so I never truly cared what others has to say," he stated and patted Kang Huijuan's shoulder before lowering his hand.

"Your Highness, did Chen Xiao say anything related to your past?" Kang Huijuan asked.

"That matter is already taken care of. You should go home, Kang Huijuan." Lóng Wei instead of responding to him told him to go home. He didn't want to speak about the incident that happened in the Chen Residence.

Kang Huijuan didn't urge anymore since he would find out himself about it.

"Did you apologize to the Queen?" Lóng Wei suddenly asked him. "You killed the man who looked after the Queen for years," he asserted.

"The King refused me to see the King. He said I should not show my face to Her Majesty. She wanted me to be dead. I am guilty of my actions. However, I didn't want to kill him. I only wanted to damage that house and restaurant from the fire so that the documents would never come into His Highness's hands," he said while keeping his head low.

Lóng Wei chuckled. "You could have burned them in your house too," he muttered. "That crime of yours is unforgivable. However, if you truly want to reflect on your past mistakes, you should remain loyal to them and do something which could be useful for society," he advised Kang Huijuan.

"I understand, Your Highness," Kang Huijuan said.

"I will leave now," Lóng Wei said and walked ahead while Kang Huijuan kept gazing at him until the prince disappeared from his sight. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

The guards and the soldiers at the imperial gate bowed to see Lóng Wei.

"Your Highness, where were you?" Chang Shi pronounced, who was coming from the front. He ran to Lóng Wei, who had come to a sudden halt.

"Where did His Highness have gone? I wanted to tell him something," Chang Shi stated.

"Say it," Lóng Wei said.

"I informed the King about my feelings toward Princess Ai Fen. I told His Majesty I would like to marry the Second Princess. Also, I talked with Huang Xi. Everything is good now. His Highness was right," Chang Shi said. He wanted to share this happiness of his with Lóng Wei first since he was the one who encouraged him to go with his feelings.

"That's great. So, when are you two marrying?" Lóng Wei asked while smiling.

"It is not decided yet, Your Highness," Chang Shi replied.

"The sooner, the better," Lóng Wei stated.

"Is Prince Lóng Wei alright? He seems a little down," Chang Shi said.

"Oh, I am fine. Just a bit tired," Lóng Wei replied.

"Forgive me for stopping Prince Lóng Wei midway," Chang Shi apologized.

"Don't apologize. You are excited to share the news with me. I am happy for you, Chang Shi. You lived so many years in aloofness. Finally, there is someone with whom you will spend your entire life," Lóng Wei stated and smiled at him.

"His Highness is right," Chang Shi agreed with him. He spent more than fifteen years staying alone in that house. Soon, Ai Fen would live with him as his wife and he could not wait for that period when he would bring her home as his wife.

"Will you not see her?" Lóng Wei asked him.

"Oh, I will. I thought to first search for Prince Lóng Wei," Chang Shi said.

"Let's go inside," Lóng Wei said and he hung his arm over his shoulder.

After Lóng Wei dropped Chang Shi outside Ai Fen's chamber, he went ahead to his manor.

Lóng Wei pushed the door open of his chamber and went inside. His feet stopped to see Li Hua on the patio. "Wasn't she with the Queen?" He mumbled and went to the patio.

"What are you doing here?" Lóng Wei asked Li Hua as he stopped next to her. She turned around to face him and wore a smile on her lips.

"Oh. I returned an hour ago and thought to wait for the prince here," Li Hua said and held his hands. "Why is there blood on His Highness's knuckles?" She immediately asked and then glanced at him in worry.

"Did His Highness get injured?" She again looked at the knuckles.

"No. I beat someone," Lóng Wei answered and fisted his palm, "until he got unconscious."

"Did he say something to you?" Li Hua inquired.

"Will you not scold me? I thought I would not get into fights anymore," Lóng Wei said.

"There must be a reason behind it," Li Hua said. "His Highness is not a small kid whom I've to scold," she added.

Lóng Wei peered into her eyes and then hugged her. "I never felt bad when anyone took my mother's name. This is the first time I beat someone because my mother was involved," he said with a bit of anger in his voice.
