Chapter 123: Burn You Alive

Ying Lili lifted her head and peered into the eyes of Sheng Li. "Are you telling the truth?" Ying Lili queried him. Sheng Li nodded and brought his hand over Ying Lili's head. He moved his hand gently over Ying Lili's hair when he heard Ying Lili, "I think it is the Empress. I want to kill her. She killed your mother too, and she killed my both parents. We did nothing wrong with her, then why?!"

Tears again welled from deep inside Ying Lili's heart and coursed down her cheeks. "I sent my mother a message four days ago, saying I am doing good and everyone around me treats me well. My husband treats me well, so she does not need to worry. I was eagerly waiting for her message."

Ying Lili lowered her eyes. "I had never thought that the Palace life would lead to this. My parents did nothing wrong then why did they have to die like this?" Ying Lili was disheartened.

Sheng Li cupped Ying Lili's face again and wiped the tears from her face. "I have given you my words, Lili. Give me some time. I promise if Weng Wei did this then I will skin her out and the entire Wei family. She is still alive because of a reason else I have the capability to kill her right at this moment," Sheng Li affirmed. 

"Forgive me for turning a blind eye towards your mother. I should have made arrangements to protect her." Sheng Li put his hands down as he took a deep breath.

"How did you bear her sight all these years? She killed your mother. You should have told his majesty and you could have handed the mother's diary to his majesty then, why didn't you? The Empress has killed so many people just for her power. She shall be punished for her crimes," Ying Lili demanded the answers from Sheng Li.

"Because I had to survive in the Palace for my mother. I cannot make the decision in haste. My blood boils when I see her but then I have to control myself because there are many hidden things which need to be brought out," Sheng Li proclaimed. 

He looked at her and said, "Your parents' grave will be made here. They will be given a tribute by his majesty. I do not know how to console someone in this situation. Your loss is my loss too. I admire one thing the most in you is that you are brave." Sheng Li put his both hands on both the arms of Ying Lili and patted them.

"But this brave woman can't save her mother," Ying Lili regretfully said. "These tears will not bring her back, but then they are not stopping. Why?" Ying Lili questioned Sheng Li.

"You can cry as much as you want to. You can lean on me. This is the only thing I can do right now," Sheng Li proclaimed as he pulled Ying Lili into a hug. Ying Lili was sobbing silently, recalling the moments with her mother. 

This was the first time Sheng Li actually hugged someone. The demise of Ying Lili's mother brought many of his memories back when he lost his mother. 

"Why is she not waking up?" Sheng Li asked in his innocent voice from Xing-Fu, while patting his mother's cheeks. Everyone around him was crying except him because he thought she would wake up and embrace him. But she did not.

Weng Wei then entered the chamber and ordered to do the last rites of Sheng Li's mother. He was not ready to leave his mother when he was dragged away on the orders of Weng Wei to the other chamber and was locked there.

"Weng Wei, you played very dirty with me but I swear if you are involved in Lili's mother's demise then I will burn you alive along with your entire Wei Family," Sheng Li's nostrils flared in anger when he heard Ying Lili's weeping. 

He put his hand on Ying Lili's head as he caressed it. Hours passed like that when Sheng Li found Ying Lili had fallen to sleep. He brought his arm near her head and with the support of it; he laid Ying Lili down on the bed when his head touched Ying Lili's forehead. She was burning with fever which worried Sheng Li. 

He quickly covered Ying Lili from the blanket and called Court Lady Xu in. Court Lady Xu showed her presence. "Call the Royal Physician. The Crown Princess is sick. Send Xing-Fu in," Sheng Li ordered Court Lady Xu who bowed her head and hurriedly went to bring Royal Physician. 

"Your highness, you called me," Xing-Fu asked politely while his head was lowered. 

"Is there any message which the Crown Princess's mother wanted to give her? Did the messenger bring anything with him?" Sheng Li inquired from Xing-Fu who refused. 

"Bring Hu Jingguo here," Sheng Li ordered. 

"Yes, your highness. The Sixth Prince was here earlier. He wants to report something urgent to his highness," Xing-Fu informed Sheng Li. 

"Bring him here and inform his majesty about the demise of the Crown Princess's mother," Sheng Li gave the further orders. Xing-Fu bowed his head and left from there. 

Sheng Li turned to the bed and looked at the pale face of Ying Lili. "You do not look good when you cry," Sheng Li murmured. 

The Royal Physician entered the chamber and greeted the Crown Prince. "Please check the Crown Princess," Sheng Li told the Royal Physician who sat on the stool beside the bed. He took Ying Lili's wrist and checked the pulse. He then examined the eyes of Ying Lili and stood up from the stool. 

"Your highness, the Crown Princess lost her consciousness because of excessive crying. She needs a good rest. I will give the medicine which will reduce the fever of her highness," Royal Physician advised and took a pill from the medicine box. 

"Please give this pill to her highness with the water," the Royal physician handed the pill to the Crown Prince. Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili and was outraged to see that sight of her.
