Chapter 750: A Guest
"Prince Wanxi, I think I shall go to Changying to help the Emperor and the First Prince," Zhu Lin suggested.
"I am afraid, Zhu Lin, but you cannot go to Changying. Remember what the Royal Physician advised you. Your navel muscles are still weak and in Changying, the situation may arise where you have to pick the weapon. Your health might deteriorate for that reason," Lei Wanxi expressed his concerns.
"But Prince Wanxi—"
"Shh," Lei Wanxi quickly placed his finger over her lips. "Brother Sheng doesn't want anyone from the family to go to Changying to aid him. He has made the decision and it will anger him if we make a decision without putting a thought," he advised her before putting his hand down.
"I thought to help the Empress. She doesn't show her worries, but it is evident in her eyes. Currently, she's pregnant, so her concerns have increased more," Zhu Lin stated. "Did Prince Wanxi understand what I mean?" Zhu Lin asked him.
"Hmm. I got what you meant. Sister Lili needs Brother Sheng at this time. Being an Emperor isn't easy. They both make so many sacrifices to keep us, this royal family, and the people away from danger," Lei Wanxi p.r.o.nounced.
"That's why I wanted to lessen her burden," Zhu Lin a.s.serted.
"You can do it from here as well," Lei Wanxi answered. "You can be with Sister Lili in the afternoon period," he advised her.
"I wish I could do that. But the Emperor has strict orders regarding the presence of people around the Empress," Zhu Lin stated and sighed.
"But Sister Lili will not stop you. Brother Sheng must have done it for a reason. His late mother was poisoned when she carried Brother Sheng in her womb. For that reason, Brother Sheng has kept his loyal people around the Empress," Lei Wanxi made her understand.
"Why does the Emperor not trust the members of the royal family? It can create a rift again," she opined.
Lei Wanxi shook his head. "A rift can never be created among us. No one knows who can be the next enemy," he stated.
"Zhu Lin, I will see you in the evening. I need to talk to Brother Nianzu." Lei Wanxi rose to his feet and pulled out the fan from his sash. He opened it and fanned himself.
"It is wintertime, Prince Wanxi. Don't use the fan," she said and stood up to grab it when Lei Wanxi moved his hand back.
"I am feeling hot," Lei Wanxi replied and waved his hand at her.
Once he came out of the chamber, he walked to the Fourth Prince's chamber.
"Pardon me, Prince Wanxi, but Prince Nianzu and Princess Chuntao are having some private moments," Eunuch Chung informed him, who understood.<

"Eunuch Chung, please inform my Fourth Brother later that I came to see him," he requested.
"Of course, Prince Wanxi," he replied and bowed his head.
Lei Wanxi walked ahead and looked toward the pavilion. "I miss those days," he murmured and for an unknown reason remembered the Second Prince.
"It is still unbelievable that he turned this way," he mumbled when heard the footsteps. He closed the fan in his hand and tilted his head.
"Little Yu," he said with a tiny smile and put the fan inside his sash.
"Brother Wanxi." He bowed in his respect.
"You look upset, Brother Wanxi. Is everything good?" Weng Yu asked out of concern.
"I recalled the old days, Brother Yu," Lei Wanxi answered and again gazed at the pavilion. Weng Yu stood by his side and glanced in the same direction as the Sixth Prince.
"I remember when all of us were gathered under the same pavilion," Weng Yu stated. "We all were laughing. We all promised each other that we would never go against each other. The six of us had implemented this except my Late Elder Brother," Weng Yu said with a dejected look.
Lei Wanxi patted Weng Yu's shoulder. "Maybe he's at peace now. I was angry at him, but I cannot forget his acts where he was supportive of me," Lei Wanxi a.s.serted.
Weng Yu lifted his head to look into his eyes. "Brother Wanxi, I don't want us, brothers, to fight anymore," Weng Yu said.
"That will never happen, Little Yu," Lei Wanxi a.s.sured him and drew him close by resting his arm around his shoulder.
"Mother keeps crying whenever I find her alone," Weng Yu suddenly said and it bewildered Lei Wanxi.
"I wish Father had forgiven my Elder Brother. I know Brother Yongzheng did wrong, but seeing Mother in that state sunk my heart," Weng Yu explained.
"Brother Yu, to prevail justice it was important. I understand you fully and also empathize with Mother Ju Feb, but in front of justice I could not support wrong," Lei Wanxi stated.
"I understand it, Brother Wanxi. But can a mother's heart understand it?" Weng Yu inquired.
"Brother Yu, a mother can never forget her child. However, you can try to fill the void. Time heals everything, Brother Yu," Lei Wanxi advised him.
"I will do my best. It will be tough, but I will give happiness to my mother," Weng Yu affirmed.
"Brother Yu can take my help too. I am good at making people happy," Lei Wanxi stated and patted Weng Yu's shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Wanxi, for listening to me," Weng Yu expressed his grat.i.tude. "Brother Wanxi, let's go to the No
rthern Palace. Sister Lili must be in the Royal garden. We can give her company, and that way, she will not miss Brother Sheng's presence," he suggested.
"Sure, Brother Yu," Lei Wanxi said and pulled his hand back. They both headed to the Northern Palace when Lei Wanxi saw Wu Qinyang. His lips curled up into a smile as it has been a long since he last saw her.
Weng Yu gazed at his brother with a puzzled expression and asked him why he stopped.
"Brother Yu, I am afraid, but I have a guest. You shall go to Sister Lili. I will join you in a while," Lei Wanxi said. Weng Yu did not question the Sixth Prince and left for the royal garden of the Northern Palace.
