Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 146 - Death In Front Of Me

Chapter 146 - Death In Front Of Me

Sheng Li shut the door in anger and turned to Ying Lili who was trembling in cold. He walked ahead, picked the towel from the table, and wrapped it around Ying Lili. He took her out of the bathtub. "Dry yourself and come out," Sheng Li told Ying Lili and walked out from there.
Sheng Li shouted for a servant but no one came. He again shouted for them when a maidservant came inside with hurried steps. "Do you have a death wish? Who let a third person enter this chamber?" Sheng Li bellowed at the maidservant who was none other than Zi Xin.
"Your highness, I-I w-was preparing for dinner," Zi Xin replied after a few stutters. Beads of sweats formed on her forehead after seeing the anger of the Crown Prince.
"What about the other servants?" Sheng Li demanded the answer.
No words were coming out of the mouth of Zi Xin. She was scared, thinking it was the last day of her life. "Bring a pair of clothes for me. And don't let anyone come inside else I will punish you," Sheng Li ordered and threatened Zi Xin who bowed her head before leaving the chamber.
Sheng Li looked at the table where a dress for Ying Lili was placed. He picked it and went inside the bathhouse when he saw Ying Lili was wiping her hair. "I am putting your dress here," Sheng Li said and placed that in the basket which was placed on the table, before leaving the bathhouse.
Ying Lili, after ten minutes, came out of the bathhouse but did not find Sheng Li there. This scared her, so she walked out when Zi Xin stopped her. "His highness has ordered not to let you go out of this chamber else I will be punished," Zi Xin humbly said.
"Could you tell me where the Crown Prince went?" Ying Lili asked.
"His highness did not tell about this," Zi Xin replied. Ying Lili nodded and went back towards the bedchamber.
"Hu Jingguo, I hope you will handle this. But why did Sheng Li overreact? Did he want to kiss me that desperately?" Ying Lili thought.
Sheng Li, on the other hand, arrived outside the chamber that was given to Hu Jingguo for his stay. He marched in and did not find him inside. He checked the bathhouse, but there was no trace of Hu Jingguo. This angered him, and he tightened his fists. Sheng Li then left for General Wang's chamber where he found Hu Jingguo laughing with him.
Wang Hao saw the Crown Prince and stood up from the chaise. "Your highness," he whispered. Hu Jingguo was terrified to see the Crown Prince there. He blinked his eyes and stepped back when Sheng Li walked to him. Before Hu Jingguo could run, Sheng Li caught him by pulling his robes. Wang Hao was confused when he saw that.
"You are taking me lightly. I have been bearing your sight since the first day. Do you think I won't kill you? Do you think because you are Lili's friend, I will spare you?" Sheng Li queried him.
"Y-your highness, I-I d-did not k-know…"
"Shut up!!" Sheng Li shouted at Hu Jingguo thus, stopping him from speaking further. "I know what Lei Wanxi told you. But let me tell you something - such petty tricks will not work on me. Try roaming around Lili and I will break your legs," Sheng Li pushed Hu Jingguo off and he fell on the chaise. His heartbeats had shot up in fear, the moment Sheng Li grabbed his robes.
Before Wang Hao could speak, Sheng Li left for his chamber. Wang Hao looked at Hu Jingguo who brought his hand on his chest. "I almost died," Jingguo murmured.
"What did you do this time? I told you not to annoy the Crown Prince," Wang Hao said and filled a glass with water. He came to Jingguo and handed him the glass. "Drink it and relax," Wang Hao handed the glass to Hu Jingguo and saw that even his hands were trembling.
Wang Hao patted Hu Jingguo's shoulder and told him to calm down. "I cannot. I saw death in front of me. I did not fear this much even when I was caught and was put into prison," Hu Jingguo murmured.
Sheng Li arrived at the chamber and walked in. He saw Ying Lili was on the chaise, peeling the mandarins, which were brought by Hu Jingguo. Ying Lili saw Sheng Li and told him to sit beside her. "I will serve you these tasty mandarins," Ying Lili said with a smile.
"I hate this fruit," Sheng Li moodily responded. Ying Lili put the peeled mandarin on the other plate and came towards Sheng Li. She grabbed his hand and brought him to the chaise. "It is your favorite fruit. You didn't even tell me about this," Ying Lili complained as she gestured to Sheng Li to sit on the chaise. He averted his gaze from her.
Ying Lili pushed him down and he landed on the chaise. "Such a stubborn child!" Ying Lili mumbled and sat beside him. She picked a peeled mandarin and took a clove. "Have this," Ying Lili said as she brought the clove closer to Sheng Li's mouth. She gestured to him to open his mouth and eat it.
Ying Lili started eating too and at the same time fed them to Sheng Li as well. Soon the anger had gone away, and he was enjoying eating mandarins with Ying Lili, who felt happy.
"Sheng Li, I have an idea for tomorrow. We will go in disguise as commoners to find out about the reason for the rebellions," Ying Lili suggested to Sheng Li who immediately agreed with her.
"I thought the same. In the disguise of the commoners, it would be easy to find out about the cause of the rebellions rather than showing ourselves in front of them," Sheng Li opined.
"Hmm." "That way we will be able to find a reasonable solution to these arising rebellions," Ying Lili stated.
