Hei Chengxi soon caught up with Lóng Wei, who had stopped after an hour. They were on the outskirts of the capital and were far from the palace.
"I will escort you back to the palace, Prince Lóng Wei," Hei Chengxi said.
"Is it true?" Lóng Wei inquired. "Did she really love the King's Elder Brother? How did you know about this?" He glared at him and demanded answers from him.
Hei Chengxi revealed the truth to Lóng Wei, and said, "I also know that you are not the King's son."
Lóng Wei tightened his grip on the horse's reins. He frowned and scrunched his nose. Frustrated, he hopped off the horse and started to walk. Hei Chengxi also got down from the horse and walked after Lóng Wei. It was dark around.
Fortunately, the moonlight was present, so the route was visible.
