THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Hidden Secrets (2)

"What's wrong with you? Are you all right?" crown prince Feng asked while holding Lili's left hand.

"I'm fine. Sorry to worry you." replied Lili while pulling her hand.

"Servant! Please bring me a new fork princess. Just clean the fork that fell under the table."

"Both His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Eh."

One of the waiters gave Lili a new fork, and the other waiter took and brought the fork under the table to the kitchen to clean.

"Ayahanda, what do you mean you're in seclusion? Didn't he say goodbye to closed-door cultivation?"

The king who heard his own son's question immediately glanced at him cynically. Crown Prince Feng who realized his mistake, immediately bowed lethargic.

"Lili, you're not eating? What's the food on this table, you don't like it?" the king asked Lili, who had not yet touched her food.

"No, Your Majesty. I like it so much."

"Then why haven't you eaten a spoon?"

Lili was confused to answer how the question posed by the king who was at once his father-in-law.

"Sorry Your Majesty, can I leave the palace for a moment?"

"Can't!" shouted crown prince Feng.

"I didn't ask you."

"No, no, no, no!"

Seeing the two couples who had just married and had a fight before him, made the king even more upset. He wanted to get angry, but his hand was held by the empress. The king turned his head towards the empress who was smiling at him. Realizing that his wife was holding him back from anger, the king sighed.

"You two, stop it!"

Hearing the king reprimanding the two of them, the two fell silent. However, the two exchanged glances with faces full of unbearable anger.

"Lili, why do you want to get out of this palace? Tell me what's your reason?" ask the king in a firm tone.

"I miss home, especially my family Your Majesty."

"Humph lied!"

"I'm not lying!"

"Enough!"

Both are silent.

"Thank you Your Majesty."

"Emmm. All right, you guys continue the breakfast. I will go first." said the king as he moved from his seat followed by the empress behind him.

Lili's gaze was diverted seeing the king and empress walking together while holding hands. The age of the two was no longer young, but seeing their romance made Lili feel a little envious. He imagined himself walking hand in hand with the man he loved so much, and vice versa. If only he was in a position like a queen, loved by the only king without a single concubine in the palace, of course he would be very happy. But, clearly he was not as lucky as the empress. She was forced to marry someone else, without asking for her consent. As if he could not make his own choice. In the dining room there were only two left who did not talk to each other. The atmosphere in the dining room was silent. Feeling that the atmosphere had become icy cold, Lili immediately moved from her seat. She left the dining room without saying goodbye to her husband. Feeling himself being ignored by Lili, crown prince Feng hit the dining table hard. Hearing crown prince Feng hit the table very hard, made the servants who were still standing there tremble in shock. He got out of his seat and started to leave the room. His footsteps came to a halt and he turned to look at the servants still standing there.

"All of you, clean up this place!"

"Your Majesty.'

Crown Prince Feng finally left that place. He walked to his room. Seeing that the door of his room was locked from the inside, crown prince Feng put his right hand close to the doorknob. A red colored light came out enveloping his hand. Within seconds, the door opened on its own. He looked at Lili who was standing facing out the window. Soon he went inside and locked it. Lili who heard the voice of someone who entered and locked her room, did not turn her head in the least. As if from the beginning, he already knew who had come and managed to enter his room with the door locked from the inside. Crown Prince Feng walked over to Lili. He hugged Lili from behind while gently tucking her neck. His eyes were turned to Lili who was still looking out the window. Crown Prince Feng saw that there was nothing suspicious from the top of the window. He was very curious about what his wife was thinking.

"Darling, what did you see earlier?" crown Prince Feng asked while tightly hugging Lili's body.

"Didn't you see her just now?"

"Yes. But, there's nothing out the window."

"I'm tired" Lili said as she let go of crown prince Feng's embrace.

Seeing Lili let go of his embrace and started walking away leaving him, crown prince Feng did not stay silent. She stepped on the bottom of the dress that Lili was wearing with one of her legs. Lili almost fell down, as the bottom of her dress was stepped on by her husband's feet. Fortunately he was able to stabilize his body so he could not fall. Lili looked back and saw her husband stepping on the bottom of her dress.

"What are you doing? Are you on purpose?!" lili snapped to her husband with a face full of anger.

"Darling, I didn't accidentally. How could I have wanted you to fall." Crown Prince Feng teased Lili who still had an angry expression on her face.

Crown Prince Feng walked over to Lili. Looks very different height comparison. Crown Prince Feng immediately bowed his body slightly downwards. He brought his face closer to the face of Lili, his wife. His forehead he deliberately rested right in front of his wife's forehead. Both of them looked very close to such an awkward position. Slowly crown prince Feng distanced his face slightly and kissed Lili's lips. Lili was shocked to get a sudden attack from her husband. Crown Prince Feng immediately let go of his kiss. She was afraid she could not help herself, after kissing Lili.

"If you want to go home, why ask permission from your father? I can take you to visit them. So you don't have to say that anymore in front of your father. I am your husband. Do you understand now?!"

"What in your eyes, I'm your wife?!"

"What do you mean?!"

"That's it. No need to explain. I understand." stressed Lili while turning her body.

Seeing his wife's indifferent attitude towards him, crown prince Feng pulled his wife's hand and pulled her into his embrace.

"I'm not done talking. Tell me clearly what do you mean to say that to me?!"

"It's not clear, you haven't liked me since we were betrothed by your father, His Majesty the King. And you and Princess Cariz have been very close since you were little and grew up together. In fact, everyone says that princess Cariz is the future wife of the crown prince. He's very compatible with being next to you. That's not a secret anymore! As for me, I am only the third person present in your life."

"So, are you jealous now?"
