Li Hua bowed upon seeing the Crown Prince, who had come to see Lóng Wei. "Your Royal Highness, Prince Lóng Wei, is asleep," Li Hua informed him. "I can wake him up if the Crown Prince wants," she added.
Xiaoming motioned his hand in the air and refused her. "That's not needed. I will come in the morning. Currently, Brother Lóng Wei needs rest," Xiaoming said, and thought to leave when Li Hua asked him if she could spare a few minutes to talk with him.
"Certainly," Xiaoming agreed. Li Hua closed the doors behind her and headed to the guest chamber with Xiaoming and Eunuch Sun Fuguo.
Xiaoming settled on the chair, and after him, Li Hua sat down. "Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the Crown Prince, who agreed with my husband and let him go out. However, I apologize to him as well. His Royal Highness got punished because of me. That should not have happened." Li Hua kept her head down out of embarrassment.
