Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 88 - You Want Me To Kiss You?

The Crown Prince demanded fulfillment of a wish which Ying Lili would not have thought of even in her dreams. How could she think that the Crown Prince would ask for something like that when their affection towards each other had not even grown a bit? But the wish that Sheng Li had put forward was not understandable to Ying Lili. Why was he asking her to be a spy?

"Sheng Li, if you had asked me to be a spy I would have agreed with you. Why did you ask this as a wish?" Ying Lili confusedly asked.

"I have not completed my words. You would have stepped back once you will know where we actually need to go," Sheng Li affirmed and asked, "Have you ever done spying?"

Ying Lili shook her head in refusal. "Then, this is your first time. Good to hear!" Sheng Li muttered and took a folded paper from near the waistband. He opened it and placed it on the table. Ying Lili saw the paper had the map drawn on it. "This is the map of the residence of the Prime Minister. He lives in the Northern block, so you need to go inside his chamber," Sheng Li asserted.

Ying Lili was bewildered to hear that. "It is risky," Ying Lili spoke. "I cannot do this," Ying Lili stepped back.

Sheng Li chuckled. "I knew it, that\'s why I put forward it as a wish," Sheng Li asserted. "You told me that you want to be a woman of my desires so this is the first step towards that," Sheng Li further added.

"But Sheng Li if we two are going there then you can also go in. Why me?" Ying Lili demanded an answer.

"Because I have another important thing to check there. That is more dangerous than this," Sheng Li replied.

"What about General Xiao?" Ying Lili queried him.

"He will be with me to complete that important work," Sheng Li asserted. "I always take risks. Are you afraid? It seemed I was wrong that you could..." Ying Lili cut Sheng Li\'s words in the middle.

"I will do it," Ying Lili affirmed. Sheng Li smiled and made her sit on the chair. "From a spy, I have found that the Prime Minister has a secret room inside his chamber. You see, the Prime Minister has only appointed women in his manor. He knows that Han does not train women in these types of things and even sometimes women do not come forward. The only woman that I have faith in is you so, you are the best to go there. Your warfare skills are also refined, so I do not need to put much effort on you," Sheng Li pronounced.

"What is inside that secret room?" Ying Lili with an inquisitive expression looked at Sheng Li.

"That is your work to find out. He is my biggest enemy for now and I have to throw him out of his position as soon as possible else he will be a threat to us later," Sheng Li proclaimed. Ying Lili agreed with Sheng Li and looked at the map.

"When do we have to go there?"

"In the middle of the night, that is after four hours," Sheng Li replied. "Till then I will explain everything to you," Sheng Li asserted as he pulled out the other chair for him. Ying Lili was keenly listening to Sheng Li. It took an hour for Ying Lili to understand everything.

Sheng Li then took out a dagger from his waistband and forwarded it to Ying Lili. "It is my gift for you. I know, unlike other women, you are not interested in precious jewelry or clothes so I thought that it would be the best for you." Ying Lili was delighted to see that dagger. She picked it up and pulled it out from the silver scabbard. Sheng Li smiled, seeing the reactions on Ying Lili\'s face.

"You are gifting me? That is so strange!" Ying Lili remarked.

"You saved my life, so it is a small present from my side," Sheng Li proclaimed.

Ying Lili touched the blade when she heard Sheng Li, "Be careful. It is very sharp." Ying Lili peered at him as she moved her finger on the blade and it got a cut. She passed a low scream when Sheng Li immediately grabbed Ying Lili\'s wrist.

"I told you not to play with that." Unconsciously, Sheng Li brought Ying Lili\'s index finger towards his lips and sucked it to stop the blood flow. Ying Lili widened her eyes when Sheng Li realized what he did. He parted his lips while Ying Lili pulled her finger back.

Sheng Li averted his gaze and closed his eyes while Ying Lili saw that the blood had stopped coming out. Sheng Li again turned to her and took the dagger from Ying Lili which she was holding with the other hand. He put it back inside the scabbard and put it on the table.

"So, you understand what you have to do, right?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili to confirm she had no more doubts left.

"I will not be caught. I am confident about that but still what if I get caught?" Ying Lili asked Sheng Li with a menacing expression.

"I will be there. So, do not worry. I will not let you get caught by anyone. Just do not lose your confidence. I am trusting you in taking such a colossal task so, do not return empty-handed. If you return with nothing, then I will perceive you the same as the other women with no special skills," Sheng Li replied to Ying Lili\'s query.

"You will not be disappointed. What about you? What are you and General Xiao up to?" Ying Lili was curious. "By the way, there is one simple way to take the Prime Minister down. You can use Xue Yu-Yan," Ying Lili suggested and smiled.

"In what context are you saying? Do you think I still love her?" Sheng Li looked for an answer from Ying Lili.

"You confessed many times how much you love her? You can ask her about this secret room. I have seen how she looks at you, so she will tell you immediately." Ying Lili started teasing Sheng Li and stood up from the chair

Sheng Li grabbed Ying Lili\'s arm and pulled her towards him such that she fell on his lap. Their faces were so close to each other that they could hear and feel each other\'s breath. "Teasing me is fun, right?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

"No. Did I tease you?" Ying Lili got up when Sheng Li pulled her back and wrapped his one hand around Ying Lili\'s waist, not letting her move.

"You want me to kiss you?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili, which startled her.
