"Did Prince Lóng Wei really kill his mother?" Lóng Wei interrogated Li Hua. He remained silent and didn't answer her. She took a step towards him and placed her hand over the robe over which he had put his right hand.
"Tell me, Your Highness. Why did you take the blame on yourself? You didn't kill your mother. You diverted everyone from the truth. Am I right?" Li Hua asked.
Lóng Wei made a shaky motion with his head. "I killed her," he asserted, "if you hate me for this, then you are free to do that."
"I don't hate His Highness," Li Hua answered. "Let's go before someone sees us here," she suggested to him and held his hand. She took him out of the room and asked him to lock the chamber. Lóng Wei did that, and they left.
