"Your highness, please calm down. I know that it is the matter of your mother, but his highness shall understand that he cannot kill Tan Gengxin without interrogating him about the other things. Also, we do not know if Tan Gengxin's statements are true or false," asserted Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao, he killed my mother. I read his expressions and his eyes. He was the one who handed the poison to Weng Wei, and she gave that to Zhang Yong. I do not care if the Emperor punishes me. It is about my mother," Sheng Li placed his hand on his chest.
"The Crown Prince will not go out. I request you to stay here until the investigation is over." Sheng Li scowled at him. "Your highness, even if you do not care about yourself, but I do care. I cannot see you getting punished for defying the orders of the Emperor.. His highness might lose many things because of his temper." Wang Hao made Sheng Li understand.
Sheng Li slammed his hand on the table. "Leave me alone. We are leaving for Luoyang by this evening through the shortest route," Sheng Li told him. Wang Hao bowed and walked out of the tent house.
"Because of him, I lost three precious people in my life," he clenched his fist and hit the table with it. Ying Lili came to the tent house and stopped a few meters away from him.
"I want to be alone, Lili," Sheng Li felt her presence and turned to her. She had a wooden bowl and cotton fabric in her hand. "Leave. I might say something to you which I do not want to!" Sheng Li requested her.
"You can say anything to me. At least your anger will go away. I know you are hurt after such a big revelation from Tan Gengxin. However, the Emperor does not know about this, else he would have told you," Ying Lili stated as she placed the wooden bowl and fabrics on the table.
Sheng Li averted his gaze from Ying Lili. She lifted her hand and brought it closer to his cheek when Sheng Li caught it. They both intensely looked at each other. Sheng Li had knitted his brows as if he was questioning her something. "You should not have intervened," Sheng Li said finally.
Ying Lili grasped his same hand, put it down, and touched his knuckles. Sheng Li closed his eyes tightly as he felt the pain. She dipped one cotton fabric in the water and squeezed it. Bringing it near Sheng Li's hand, she cleaned the wounds on his knuckles. She blew air over them while gently cleaning them.

Sheng Li glanced at her and pulled his hand back. Ying Lili tightly drew his hand closer to her. "Do you want a beating?" Ying Lili asked her as she dabbed the cloth in the depressions between the knuckles. "Stop acting as if only you are hurt. I am also hurt. Your Generals, Commanders, and soldiers are hurt too. It's just we could not act that way," Ying Lili affirmed. She picked the clean cotton bandage and wrapped it around his hand after applying medicine on his knuckles.
"I told you that I am heartless to those who did wrong with my mother. Stop preaching the lesson of kindness in front of me," Sheng Li said with a menacing expression. "Tan Gengxin arranged poison for her, and he was laughing like crazy. I want to stab every part of his body so that he feels the same pain that my mother underwent when she had fed that poison," Sheng Li proclaimed. He pulled his hand back and turned back.
He threw the water bowl, therefore, bewildered Ying Lili. Removing the bandage from his hand, he threw it on the floor. "I hate it when someone puts his nose where my mother is involved. Just leave," Sheng Li pronounced.
Ying Lili's eyes turned watery. She stepped back and lowered her head. Sheng Li squeezed his eyes tightly and slammed his hand on the table again. "Why am I here? I shall just kill him," Sheng Li murmured and turned. To his surprise, Ying Lili was still there, crying silently.
Sheng Li felt bad for talking rudely to Ying Lili. It was not her fault then why he was angry at her. He contemplated. He cursed himself internally for behaving this way with her. "Forgive me," Sheng Li said and walked to her. He kissed the top of her head and leaned back. "I am out of my mind at this moment. Do not take my words to your heart." He wiped the tears from her cheek using his thumb.
Ying Lili lifted her eyes and peered into his eyes. "I told you that I would listen to whatever you say. But I will not let you make a decision in a rush," Ying Lili stated as again tears rolled over her cheeks.
Sheng Li had turned calmer by now. When he saw Ying Lili's tears, he got the realization that he was hurting her when she only tried to pacify him. "Don't cry," Sheng Li again placed his thumbs on her cheeks and wiped them.
"They are coming on their own," Ying Lili replied.
Sheng Li pulled her into a hug and rested her head on his chest. His one hand was over her head while the other was on her back. He patted her back. After a while, they pulled back from the hug.
"Fine. I will keep control of myself till we reach the Capital. Though my hands are itching to kill him, still I will control myself," Sheng Li promised Ying Lili and brought her hands towards his lips. He kissed them and again apologized.
"Let me treat your wounds," Ying Lili said. "Those might get infected," she said in a low voice. She took him towards the same table, and made him sit on the chair there. "You shall not hurt yourself like this. It hurts me too, more than you," asserted Ying Lili.
