Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 266 - Married Another Woman

"I am not jealous of her," Ying Lili crossed her arms, glaring at Sheng Li.

"Shall I call her here then?" Sheng Li with a smirk asked.

"I will kill you if you do that," Ying Lili threatened him.

Sheng Li chuckled upon hearing the statement of Ying Lili. Now, he did not want to stop it. "And how will you kill me?" Sheng Li questioned, raising a brow. "Shouldn\'t you kill that Princess who was seducing your husband?" He inquired from her.

"Why should I kill her when the one who was enjoying all this was you. If you had not encouraged her then she would not have done this," Ying Lili pronounced.

Sheng Li ended up laughing.

"How could you laugh in this situation?" Ying Lili went closer to him and slapped at his bare shoulder. Sheng Li stopped laughing and pulled her towards him, using his left hand. He made her sit on his lap and tightly wrapped his arm around Ying Lili\'s waist.

"What if I had married another woman? Then would you have loved me?" Sheng Li asked.

"Never," Ying Lili replied. "I don\'t like it. I would have died and never would have fallen in love with you if you had another wife," Ying Lili proclaimed.

"You did good by not accepting the marriage proposals early," Sheng Li asserted.

"That\'s why I am blessed to have you as my husband. Even though there was no love between us, you decided to have only one woman. When you told the Empress not to look for a second wife or a concubine for you, my heart fluttered a little," Ying Lili smiled and wrapped her hands around Sheng Li\'s neck.

"When you know your husband does not look at any other woman except you then why did you get angry? That was all a part of the plan. Weng Wei had told her to get close to me so I wanted to hear this from her mouth. I was even mad when she held my hand and when I saved her from falling. But then she accepted the truth which I wanted from her. I pushed her way, wanted to cut her hand but you intervened and saved her," Sheng Li explained to Ying Lili.

"I understand. Let me apply the medicine. It will relieve you," Ying Lili said. Sheng Li let go of her. He laid down on the bed while Ying Lili applied the paste.

"It\'s cold," Sheng Li whispered.

"Are you still feeling the pain?" She queried.

"No. It has gone as soon as you applied the medicine," Sheng Li replied.

"Liar!" She remarked.

Sheng Li tilted his head to look at her. "I am not lying," he said while gazing into her eyes.

"I am feeling hot. Help me in taking a bath," Sheng Li said.

Ying Lili knitted her brows. "A moment ago you said that you are feeling cold! And why shall I help you? I will not. You are not a kid anymore," Ying Lili snapped at him.

"This is summertime, Lili. I take bath twice a day," Sheng Li proclaimed.

"You didn\'t bathe twice yesterday," she immersed her hands in a water bowl and later wiped them with a clean towel.

"Yesterday, I was not feeling hot but today I am." Sheng Li passed a smile to her. "But your left hand is alright. You can ask the servants to do that. Why are you troubling me? I have so much work to do," Ying Lili affirmed.

"Forget about other work," Sheng Li sat on the bed and looked at his right hand. "When you had injured your foot, I helped you and even carried you to the shrine. Can\'t you do this little work for me?"

"You can ask the maidservants," Ying Lili opined.

"I don\'t allow them in my bathhouse. It\'s fine...I will use this right hand," Sheng Li stated.

"Okay. I will help," Ying Lili stated and picked another towel. Soaking it in the water, she wrung it and wiped the applied medicine from Sheng Li\'s back. "It\'s done!" She said and helped him wearing the silk upper garment.

She called a maidservant and told her to clean everything there. "Get the bathhouse ready," she ordered. The maidservant after cleaning left the chamber.

"You should not lose your temper easily. Next time do not do such a thing and try not to make such plans," Ying Lili told Sheng Li. She removed the hairpin from his hair bun, followed by the crown, and let the hair flow down till his shoulders.

"Did you check about that man whom we saw in the temple?" she asked, sitting on the stool there.

"The sketch is made. I told Xiao to look into that," Sheng Li replied. "I want to know what he and Weng Wei were planning?" Sheng Li muttered. "I have a feeling that they will do something again. Weng Wei does not want me to live peacefully, and she will do anything to k…" Ying Lili placed her palm over Sheng Li\'s mouth.

"Nothing will happen to you. I will not let it happen," Ying Lili assured Sheng Li.

Sheng Li nodded while Ying Lili put her hand down. "I know when you are with me, nothing will happen to me," he said, keeping the smile on his lips.

"Sheng Li, I am coming in a while. Wait for me, okay?" Ying Lili informed him.

"Why? Where are you heading to?" Sheng Li confusedly asked.

"To meet Xue Yu-Yan."

The facial expressions on Sheng Li\'s face darkened. Knitting his brows, he asked, "Why?"

"I promised her that I will show the last letter written by her father. I will be back soon," Ying Lili stated.

Sheng Li recalled the other day when Ying Lili urged Zhang Yong to write something on paper that he did not know about, but Ying Lili had told him that it would prove good for them later.

"Okay. I will be waiting for you. I cannot do anything without your help," Sheng Li stated.

"I know. I will be back soon. Till then, you can read something," Ying Lili stood up from the stool and walked out of the chamber.
