Chapitre 200: Tangled

Sheng Li was sitting on a rock beside the river stream. Only the moonlight was making his face visible when he heard someone was approaching him. He turned and saw Hu Jingguo there. "What are you doing here?" he asked as he turned back, looking towards the stream.

Hu Jingguo sat on the other rock and replied, "I thought to converse with his highness."

"I do not want to talk. You should leave," Sheng Li stated and looked at the arrow in his hand.

"Is his highness sad because the Crown Princess is angry with him?" Hu Jingguo queried. But he did not get a response from the Crown Prince. Taking a deep breath, Hu Jingguo said, "She was happy. When she told me about you, she was cheerful. 'Hushu bought a ceramic bangle for me.' 'Hushu agreed to me and will open his heart.' 'Hushu wants to love me.'"
