Li Hua discovered that Lóng Wei deeply regretted killing his mother. She wanted to know why he did that, but she didn't ask him. She continued to caress his hair while he kept his eyes intact on her.
"Li Hua, will you not ask me why I killed her? You are always curious to know," Lóng Wei asked her, and took her hand in his. Their fingers intertwined together as he waited for her response.
"I do not want His Highness to get upset," Li Hua answered. She didn't deny that she didn't want to know.
"She always wanted me to leave the palace. I was born from a mistake. These were her words, which I grew up listening to from her," he said, and asked her to keep all this to herself. "I don't want you to go to the King and tell him. It's not meant to be shared," he added.
"Why?" Li Hua asked.
