Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 500 - I Might Have To Kill Him

Princess Zhu Lin personally came to Ying Lili to give wishes to her for her birthday. "Greetings to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess," Zhu Lin bowed and then lifted her head.

"Happy Birthday, Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess lead a healthy and prosperous life," Zhu Lin wished her and handed the gift to Court Lady Xu. "It is a gift from my side, your highness," Zhu Lin stated.

Ying Lili stood up and gave a hug to Zhu Lin. "Thank you for these wishes and also for the present." She pulled back and told her to take the seat.

Ying Lili went back to the chaise on which Sheng Li was seated. Zhu Lin sat on the other chaise and thanked Ying Lili for giving her so much love.

"Your highness, Prince Wanxi wants me to stay for a few days. Prince Wanxi likes me, but he's still struggling with his thoughts," Zhu Lin asserted.

Sheng Li was stunned to hear that. "Wanxi confessed his feelings to you!" He could not believe that.

"Yes, your highness," Zhu Lin answered.

"It's great," Ying Lili replied. "Sister Zhu must stay for a few more days. I am sure that Brother Wanxi will provide his answer to you," Ying Lili affirmed and glanced at Sheng Li who agreed with her.

"Yes, your highness," Zhu Lin replied with a tiny smile.

"Princess Zhu Lin, Lei Wanxi might appear as if he only enjoys, and is not like the other Princes. However, he is the smartest Prince among us. He acts like a child sometimes, but his mind is sharper than us," Sheng Li told Zhu Lin, who nodded her head.

"Forgive me, Crown Prince, for misbehaving with Prince Wanxi and for making fun of him," Zhu Lin was guilty of her previous acts.

"It's fine. I do not like when someone hurts him," Sheng Li asserted. Ying Lili tilted her head a little to peer at him. Zhu Lin lowered her eyes and fidgeted with her fingers.

"Since Princess Zhu Lin is the daughter of the Huan Province's King, I refrained from scolding you or punishing you. Do not hurt him in any way. He is dear to my heart. You may leave," Sheng Li stated after warning her. Zhu Lin stood up and bowed before leaving the chamber.

"Why did you do that? Is this the way you talk to a woman?" Ying Lili scolded Sheng Li.

"Because it was necessary. Lei Wanxi was badly hurt when Princess Zhu Lin embarrassed him. I do talk with a woman like that when she's at fault," Sheng Li clarified himself.

"Wanxi does not like to fight for a reason. He feels every life is important. He thinks his hands are not made to kill someone. That's why he never practiced. He trusts my hands and knows that I will be in front of him every time there is a bad incident," Sheng Li told Ying Lili.

"Scolding the Princess was important. Lei Wanxi's self-esteem was hurt. She misjudged Wanxi. He is a patient person, unlike me. I only wanted her to know that Lei Wanxi is more powerful when he's without a weapon," Sheng Li pronounced.

Ying Lili understood Sheng Li's words. Before she could speak, Lei Wanxi entered the chamber. "Sister Lili, did you check my present? Forgive me. I entered without asking first," Lei Wanxi excitedly said. He looked at Court Lady Xu and waved at her with a fan in his hand.

Court Lady Xu smiled and bowed.

"Brother Wanxi can come whenever he wants to come. Please have a seat. I have not checked gifts," Ying Lili asserted. "Please hand me the present that Brother Wanxi gave me, Court Lady Xu."

"What is it in the present?" Sheng Li asked Lei Wanxi.

"Brother Sheng, it is something for which you will envy your younger brother," stated Lei Wanxi with a smile.

Sheng Li wryly laughed. "Why would I envy you?" He confusedly asked.

"Let Sister Lili see my present," Lei Wanxi stated and looked at her. Ying Lili looked at the large wooden box. "I wonder what has Brother Wanxi prepared for me," Ying Lili mumbled while moving her hand on the box which she had placed on her lap.

"Open it, Sister Lili."

Ying Lili nodded her head and opened the wooden box. There were two figures inside the box, who had worn Hanfu Dresses. Sheng Li was amused to see that because the figures looked like Ying Lili and Sheng Li.

"Did you make it?" Sheng Li asked Lei Wanxi, who stood up from his seat and came near them.

"Yes, Brother Sheng. It is a mechanical device. You need to move this golden handle from here so that these two figures will move," stated Lei Wanxi and showed them the demo.

The figures started to move in the circle as if they were dancing. It brought a smile to Ying Lili's and Sheng Li's lips. "Wonderful!" Ying Lili was astonished to see that. Her eyes glistened to see that.

Wanxi removed his hand from the handle, and the figures kept moving for a minute. Court Lady Xu was also astonished to see such a gift. Sheng Li took the box and looked at the figures. "You even carved this. It looks similar to us," Sheng Li stated and touched the doll figure of Ying Lili.

"It's so cute, Wanxi," Sheng Li said with a smile.

"I told you, Brother Sheng, that my gift will be best. It took me three months to prepare this, especially the mechanical device in it," Lei Wanxi proudly pronounced.

Ying Lili thanked Lei Wanxi for the present. Sheng Li closed it and handed it to Court Lady Xu, who put it on the table.

Lei Wanxi seated back. "Brother Wanxi won my heart with this present," Ying Lili answered.

"I am glad that I won your heart, Sister Lili," Lei Wanxi stated delightedly. "Earlier, I saw Zhu Lin coming out of this chamber. Did she come to tell you that I have asked for time from her?" Lei Wanxi's tone suddenly turned serious.

"Yes, Brother Wanxi. Princess Zhu Lin is happy that you asked for some time from her," Ying Lili replied.

"Hopefully, my mind will get cleared soon," Lei Wanxi affirmed and turned his gaze towards Sheng Li. "Brother Sheng, there is something that you need to know," Lei Wanxi stated with a menacing expression.

"What happened?"

"Brother Sheng, Brother Yongzheng has not improved. He is still the same. Two days ago, I saw Brother Yongzheng giving a tiny porcelain bottle to a servant. Zhu Lin said that it's a poison," Lei Wanxi informed him.

Ying Lili glanced at Sheng Li, who had clenched his fists. "Why did you not tell me earlier?" Sheng Li asked him.

"I thought to confirm it. I wanted to find evidence against him and did not want to trouble you," Lei Wanxi affirmed.

"Brother Wanxi shall not do such a thing. It might be risky for him. Next time, do tell us whatever you find out. Brother Wanxi never troubled us," Ying Lili asserted.

"Yes, Sister Lili." He looked back at Sheng Li. "Brother Sheng, I do not want to lose any brother," Lei Wanxi said concernedly.

"Wanxi, if he did not come on the right path, I might have to kill him. There's no other way," Sheng Li sternly said.
