Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 183
183 Related to the prophecy
LΓ³ng Wei could not believe his eyes upon reading the message. He thought that no one from the palace would be involved in this. But he was wrong. The palace was involved. ππβ―πweππ―πΞ½eπ.coπ
βYour Highness, Xu Guang Li used to meet someone in the palace. Someone was putting pressure on Xu Guang Li for his daughterβs life,β Mingquan said and looked at LΓ³ng Wei. βI had never seen Xu Guang Li in the palace. Not even once,β he said.
βBecause they met in private, not necessarily in the palace. The message that he mentioned in his diary must be related to Li Hua. Someone wanted Li Hua to die. But, why?β LΓ³ng Wei was confused and he knitted his brows together.
βWhy would someone want to kill Princess Consort? She isnβt even a threat to anyone in the palace. She is the kindest noble woman I have ever seen, who doesnβt even look for luxury and power,β Huang Xi concluded.
LΓ³ng Wei wondered if someone from the palace knew about the prophecy that Yuze made for Li Hua. But Yuze didnβt even tell him about the prophecy. Then how could someone from the palace know about it?
βLetβs keep it hidden from Li Hua,β LΓ³ng Wei said.
βAgain?β Huang Xi exclaimed.
βYes.β LΓ³ng Wei replied.
βBrother LΓ³ng Wei, I think that night Feng Lao saved the sister-in-law. He didnβt betray her. We should not make any wrong assumptions about Feng Lao,β Mingquan suggested to LΓ³ng Wei. βSister-in-law does no longer possess any feelings for Feng Lao. So, Brother LΓ³ng Wei doesnβt need to get insecure that she would choose Feng Lao.β
.....
LΓ³ng Wei snickered. βFourth Brother, he is involved in the murder of the Xu family. He didnβt save Li Hua that night.β He was adamant about the assumption that he had made in his head. If Feng Lao had to save Li Hua, then he would have taken her to his residence, where assassins would not have dared to go. At present, he could not make them understand, so he decided to stay quiet.
βI will see you two in the evening,β LΓ³ng Wei said and left the hall. He wanted some alone time to tie the strings of the things that he found out a few moments ago. He didnβt go to see Li Hua. Instead, he went to the chamber, where he used to stay alone in earlier times.
LΓ³ng Wei placed the paper on the table. βWhy did this person threaten to kill Li Hua? However, the message was delivered late. In the evening, the assassins had already created havoc in the Xu residence,β he murmured and rested his hands on the table. He re-read the message and then took out Xu Guang Liβs diary.
βHe got the message from Qinping after many years of Li Huaβs birth... almost eighteen years. Why was it that the person in the palace did not know or do anything earlier? Was it really related to the prophecy or was Xu Guang Li involved in a work which brought this deadly fate to his family?β LΓ³ng Weiβs mind was occupied with many unanswerable questions.
He began to read the diary once again in the hope that he had not missed anything. However, even after spending an hour, he could not find anything that could help him to get the answers to his questions.

Tang Zhaodang apologized to Xu Zifan for not coming that evening. βHad I delivered the message at your house, then such massacre could have been prevented,β he muttered in a frustrated tone.
βI had asked Feng Lao why he agreed to marry Yang Mei. He told me that he could not hold onto the past for long, so it was better to move on.β He cursed him for the betrayal he had given to all of them. ππβ―ππ ππππΡ΅eπ.coπ
βIf the Sixth Prince had not come that night, then even I would not be in front of you. Xu Zuwen died in front of my eyes. His body was half burned. He didnβt deserve this kind of death. I could not tell Li Hua everything because she was already broken apart. I couldnβt even get to see my mother and my father.β Xu Zifanβs eyes turned teary. The edges of his eyes were wet with tears.
βIt must be so painful for you, bearing everything alone. I cannot even imagine myself in your position,β Tang Zhaodang said, and he clutched the fabric of his dress tightly from his knees. βI want to kill him with my own hands for doing this. All this time, he was only pretending to be nice. Even his father talks about justice all the time, yet he did such an injustice to all of you.β He gritted his teeth in anger.
βI am only worried for Li Hua. She wants to see Feng Lao. I asked Prince LΓ³ng Wei not to let them meet, but it is inevitable now. Who knows if Feng Lao will be truthful in front of her?β Xu Zifan brought his left hand up and wiped the tears from his eyes.
βXu Zifan, I have a question regarding the Sixth Prince. We all know that he killed his mother. Do you think he is good for your sister?β Tang Zhaodangβs question was legit in the eyes of a person, who was unaware of LΓ³ng Wei. But the people who knew him had different opinions on it. Xu Zifan was one of those people.
βHe gave my sister a new life. He protected her from the danger that could have fallen on her. I do not know what happened in His Highnessβs past. But I surely know that my sister is safe and happy with him. For her, His Highness defied many rules in the palace. Even if I have to choose a man for Li Hua a thousand times, it will be Prince LΓ³ng Wei only. He not only respects my sister but also adores him more than anyone.β Xu Zifan didnβt hesitate to compliment LΓ³ng Wei. Probably that was the only possible way, he could thank LΓ³ng Wei- by eliminating the negative thoughts from the peopleβs minds.
