358 Be the Dragon’s son and fulfill your Destiny
Lóng Wei went to see Yuze in the evening and found he was preparing malt tea. Without uttering any word, Lóng Wei silently sat down on the chair around the circular table.
Yuze placed the two porcelain bowls on the table and then the jar in which he had put the malt tea earlier.
As Yuze poured the tea into the porcelain bowl for Lóng Wei, he said, “It seems Prince Lóng Wei wants to know sothing from .” He pushed the bowl towards him and then poured the tea for himself. He settled on the chair opposite to Lóng Wei and brought the bowl to his mouth.
As he watched the Prince drinking the tea, he also sipped the malt tea. He remained silent until the prince opened his mouth to speak.
“Do you know the truth?” Lóng Wei asked, and he put the bowl on the table. He looked at Yuze, who was drinking the tea and enjoying its heavenly taste.
After Yuze finished the tea, he put the bowl on the table and asked Lóng Wei what truth he was talking about. He had an amusing smile on his lips.
“You already know what I am talking about,” he affird with a nacing expression.
“Why are you suddenly interested in knowing the truth?” Yuze asked him.
“Because it’s troubling . I trained my mind not to do anything, but it’s not working anymore. Li Hua is involving herself with that, which I do not want to happen. I am confused and lost, Yuze,” Lóng Wei stated his worries.
.....
“So, the Prince wants to know the truth because he thinks his wife will do sothing? He does not want to find the answers.” Yuze was astonished by Lóng Wei’s explaination.
“I am feeling terrible,” Lóng Wei said, and lowered his head. “You know, if I talk my heart out with Li Hua, she will be stressed and try to find the answers. She already knew things that Hei Chengxi told her. With you, it’s the opposite. If I tell you that I don’t want to do it, you stop,” he asserted and fiddled his fingers.
“I never wanted you to stop finding the answers. I am only waiting for the right ti,” Yuze affird and picked up the jar. He filled the bowls with the malt tea again. “Why are you running away from the truth which defines you?” He questioned him and put down the jar before holding the bowl.
“Why were you quiet all these years?” Lóng Wei asked him.
“I had to because the person to whom this truth belonged was never interested until now,” Yuze stated and he slurped the tea.
Lóng Wei realized that Yuze taunted him. “What’s the use to find the truth which would only harm and the people around ?” He asked.
“Why do you think it will harm you and the people around you?” Yuze wanted to know the reason behind Lóng Wei’s assumption.
“Why do you think it will not harm and the people whom I care about?” Lóng Wei questioned him back, and it made Yuze laugh.
“I don’t know whether exploring the truth will harm you or not. Every action has a consequence,” Yuze proclaid.
Lóng Wei sighed as he looked into his eyes. “Yuze, you know what will happen if I find him,” he stated.
“I do not know,” Yuze answered truthfully, and again picked up the bowl to drink the malt tea. “Ahhh. This tea is my favorite for a reason,” he stated with a smile. He was overwheld by drinking that tea and asked Lóng Wei to drink it.
Lóng Wei frowned and drank the tea half-heartedly. Though this tea was sweet, but it didn’t seem sweet to him. Everything seed tasteless these days for him.
“Nurturing a child is tough,” Yuze stated. Lóng Wei lifted his head and looked into his eyes. “Lady Yu Jun had a tough ti,” he added.
Lóng Wei averted his gaze from Yuze and urged him not to talk about her.
“Weren’t Prince Lóng Wei interested to know about his past?” Yuze questioned him, and it irked Lóng Wei.
“I am leaving,” Lóng Wei said in frustration. He had co to keep his mind at peace. He wanted to put a halt to all those random thoughts, curiosity about his past etc. He thought Yuze would be the best person, but he was wrong.
He almost stood up when he heard Yuze.
“You will find the answers to Li Hua’s family’s murder if you search about the past,” Yuze affird.
Lóng Wei fixed his gaze on him and knitted his brows. “What did you say?” He was stunned to find that Yuze knew sothing, but didn’t tell him. How could Yuze do this to him?
“What the Prince heard,” Yuze replied.
“Why don’t you tell if you know?” Lóng Wei opined.
“It is not my position to tell. Also, if I had known the truth, I would have revealed it long ago,” Yuze declared and he checked the jar if there was more malt tea in it. But the jar was already empty.
He glanced at Lóng Wei and extended his pointer finger out. He then said, “To bring your restless heart to rest, find the truth. The ti has co to find out why Lady Yu Jun was so cold to her own son. Why did she choose to die at the hands of her son? Why did she never kill herself when she had nurous chances? As much as you despise Lady Yu, you love her too. If you want to put the everything at its right place, then get up and go to your destined path, Lóng Wei. Be the Dragon’s son and fulfil your destiny.”
Lóng Wei’s eyes turned misty and he fisted his palms.
“Ask your heart why you chose to kill your mother and decided to be the sinned prince. Ask it, why you were so desperate for Lady Yu’s attention. You will find the answers, Lóng Wei,” Yuze pronounced, and a wide smile ford on his lips.
