Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 464 - I Hate Her



Chapter 464 – I Hate Her

Sheng Li, after checking the work in the Capital Governor's office, returned to the Palace. He reached the Palace Grounds when the rain started pouring. Quickly Xing-Fu opened the oil paper umbrella for the Crown Prince. He covered Sheng Li from it, and they quickly arrived at the Eastern Palace. They ascended the stairs, turned towards the Eastern Corridor. Xing-Fu closed the umbrella and handed it to the servant. 

Crossing the corridor, Sheng Li found Lei Wanxi in the Pavilion. He halted, and so did Xing-Fu, who looked in the direction where Sheng Li was looking. "Go to the Chamber. I will be there soon," commanded Sheng Li and walked ahead. Xing-Fu bowed and left for the Crown Prince's chamber. 

Lei Wanxi was lost in some deep thoughts. "Wanxi," Sheng Li put his hand on his shoulder, who came out of his thoughts and greeted Sheng Li. "You seemed lost. Is everything okay?" Sheng Li was anxious for Lei Wanxi after Brother Nianzu left the Palace. 

Sheng Li noticed the dirt on the robes of Lei Wanxi. "Did you fall? Your robes are dirty," Sheng Li stated while dusting Lei Wanxi's robes. 

Lei Wanxi reminisced about the incident that happened with him in the market. He saved Zhu Lin from getting hurt from the cart. The two fell on the ground, and Zhu Lin's lips touched his. The impact was not heavy, so his lips did not get hurt. But something strange happened in his heart, which was indescribable. 

"Wanxi, what happened?" Sheng Li snapped his fingers in front of Lei Wanxi's eyes, who shook his head. 

"Nothing, Brother," Lei Wanxi replied and passed a tiny smile to Sheng Li, who skeptically looked at him. 

"You are so quiet. It is strange to see you this way," Sheng Li asserted and put the back of his palm over Lei Wanxi's forehead. "You are not sick, right?" Sheng Li asked him, who refused. He put his hand down and asked his younger brother why he looked worried. 

"I am not worried. There is something I want to know, Brother," Lei Wanxi told Sheng Li. 

"Hmm. Say," Sheng Li waited for him to speak. 

Lei Wanxi, for the first time, felt nervous, but if he would not ask it would trouble him more. After fighting with his mind, he finally spoke. 

"Brother," he took a pause and then, after a few seconds, asked, "Brother Sheng, can a person"s heart beat strangely around a person whom he hates the most?" 

"Pardon!" Sheng Li got confused upon hearing his question.

"Nothing, B-Brother," Lei Wanxi stuttered. "I shall take my leave. I am sleepy," Lei Wanxi asserted and walked past Sheng Li, who grabbed him by his arm. 

"Wanxi, what happened?" Sheng Li repeated his question. "Will you not even tell me!?" He was befuddled upon seeing the behavior of Lei Wanxi. 

Lei Wanxi looked at Sheng Li and then sighed. "I want to ask Sister Lili. Let's go to her chamber. Brother Sheng cannot understand this," Lei Wanxi stated. 

Sheng Li hummed. "She is in my chamber. Come, let's go there," Sheng Li told Lei Wanxi and the two left for the Crown Prince's manor. 

"The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince are here." Ying Lili, who was doing a painting, stopped and put the brush down. She stood up and came forward when Sheng Li and Lei Wanxi entered. 

Sheng Li saw that Ying Lili was painting. "Lili, Lei Wanxi wants to talk to you," Sheng Li told her, who looked at the Sixth Prince. Seeing his pale, Ying Lili thought something wrong had happened.

"Please sit down on the chairs. I will tell Eunuch Xing-Fu to bring tea for us," Ying Lili told them. Sheng Li hummed and took Lei Wanxi towards the floor table and gestured to him to sit down. Ying Lili, after a while, came to them and sat down beside Sheng Li. 

Eunuch Xing-Fu came inside with a tea server, who served them chrysanthemum tea. "Brother Wanxi, drink this tea. You will feel good," Ying Lili asserted. Lei Wanxi nodded and picked the teacup. He sipped it. Ying Lili too sipped the tea while Sheng Li waited for the tea to cool down.

"Now, tell us what happened, Brother Wanxi?" Ying Lili politely asked. 

"Sister Lili, can a person's heartbeat strangely for another person who is his enemy?" Lei Wanxi queried. 

"It's not possible," Sheng Li immediately answered when Ying Lili glared at him. "I mean your blood will boil upon seeing your enemy," Sheng Li clarified his words.

"Brother, not like that. You are taking it the wrong way," Lei Wanxi stated as he put the teacup down on the table. He tapped his fingers on the teacup. Ying Lili found Lei Wanxi was uncomfortable speaking about his worries. 

She extended her hand out and put it on Lei Wanxi's hand. Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili and told her to pull her hand back, but she ignored his words. Ying Lili caressed it and asked, "Brother, is this related to you?" 

Lei Wanxi's eyes grew bigger and he nodded after much hesitation. "By any chance, is this about Princess Zhu Lin?" Ying Lili asked. Lei Wanxi was confused about how the Crown Princess found out. 

"Can Sister Lili read minds too? How did she find out?" Lei Wanxi mumbled. Sheng Li, on the other hand, confusedly looked at the two of them. 

"Could Brother Wanxi please elaborate to me?" Ying Lili asked. 

Lei Wanxi nodded. "I think I shall Sister Lili. It feels that I have some kind of heart disease, Sister Lili," Lei Wanxi asserted. 

"What? Why did you not tell me earlier?" Sheng Li panicked when Ying Lili scolded him. 

"Will you keep quiet? How you could be so lame?" Ying Lili suddenly turned angry at Sheng Li. 

"Lili, Wanxi said that he is feeling something is wrong with his heart," asserted Sheng Li. "Why are you angry at me?" He queried. 

"It's not any disease. So, keep quiet for some time. Let's hear what Brother Wanxi is saying," Ying Lili told him. Sheng Li agreed with her and told her to remove her hand from Lei Wanxi's hand. He moved his hand closer to Ying Lili's wrist when she slapped at his hand from her other hand. "Stop being jealous, Crown Prince," Ying Lili said with a smile. 

Lei Wanxi giggled seeing the two. Sheng Li glared at him and squinted his eyes. But for Ying Lili's sake, he kept quiet. 

"Brother Wanxi, look at me and tell me what you feel inside your heart?" Ying Lili queried. 

"My heart suddenly races when I see Zhu Lin. I mean we both are each other's enemies, and I feel weird. It happened to me three times. I am worried about my heart. Shall I check it with the Royal Physician?" Lei Wanxi asked Ying Lili's opinion. 

"Of course, you should. Why did you come to Lili for your heart problem?" Sheng Li intervened again.

Ying Lili laughed, and it confused both the brothers. She had pulled her hand back and brought it near her mouth. "Why are you laughing, Lili?" Sheng Li queried her. She stopped after some time and then peered at Lei Wanxi. 

"Brother, if I tell you that your heart has fallen for Princess Zhu Lin, then will you believe me?" Ying Lili asked Lei Wanxi, who widened his eyes as he was shocked by Ying Lili's opinion. Sheng Li was also shocked. 

"Wanxi, you love Princess Zhu Lin?" Sheng Li muttered. 

"No, this cannot be true. How could I? I think Sister Lili has made a wrong observation," Lei Wanxi stated. "I hate her. Didn't I tell Sister Lili that only one woman irritates me to the point that my insides urge me to fight with her?" Lei Wanxi pronounced and found the Crown Princess was still smiling.

"But Brother Wanxi's heart says otherwise," Ying Lili affirmed. Lei Wanxi was still not ready to believe this. He had read all these kinds of things in a story but never thought it could happen with him. 

"I shall leave. Thank you, Sister Lili," Lei Wanxi said. Sheng Li was going to stop him, but Ying Lili spoke before he could. 

"Brother Wanxi, it is not a heart disease," Ying Lili told him. Lei Wanxi knitted his brows and left the chamber.

Sheng Li glanced at Ying Lili. "Why did you call it love? Wanxi is not able to speak well," opined Sheng Li. 

"Court Lady Xu saw them together.. They have come closer to each other," Ying Lili informed Sheng Li, who was amused to hear this.
