Li Hua yawned and turned to look at Lóng Wei, who had his head resting on the wall of the carriage. She slightly moved toward him and their arms touched. She found him sleeping, so put her head on his shoulder. She felt relaxed and closed her eyes.
Lóng Wei gradually opened his eyelids and narrowly gazed at Li Hua. A smile formed on his lips upon seeing her. After a while, he slowly pushed his hand behind her back and without disturbing her sleep, he snuggled her close.
He looked outside of the window that Li Hua had opened again and saw Mingquan on the horse. Since they were on the hilly route, the chauffeur drove the carriage slowly.
Lóng Wei's mind went back to the day when he killed his mother. He had made sure that no one would be around. Did he chase him? That was impossible. 'I killed her in the middle of the night when everyone had fallen asleep. Since she was a concubine, her chamber was far from where the Princes resided. How could he find out about it?'
