"Miss! Miss!" Jiao Yue ran back to the courtyard anxiously and said happily: "An imperial edict has come from the palace again!"
"Oh?" Hua Jinglan didn't even raise her head from the book, she just asked lightly, "What did you say?"
"I heard that the Second Young Lady beat the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess is still unconscious. The Emperor became angry. Not only did he break off the engagement, he also punished the Second Young Lady to stay at home and think about her past!" Jiaoyue said happily: "This is what evil people do. The wicked grind!”
"Hua Jinglan, come out!" Hua Wanyu kicked the courtyard door and ran in shouting.
Hua Jinglan frowned and looked at her across the bright moon, "What are you doing here again?"
Only then did Hua Wanyu see her behind Gaoyue, and asked with red eyes: "Did you do this?! Did you spread rumors to slander me?! Otherwise, how could the royal family break off the engagement?!"
"Second Miss, the royal engagement was canceled because you injured the Crown Princess." Jiao Yue bravely replied. When Hua Wanyu glared at her, she immediately shrank her neck, but after a moment she raised her chin again, clearly not Don't be afraid of what she means.
Hua Wanyu was furious, "Okay! Okay! How dare a mere maidservant dare to be so presumptuous in front of me...!"
"What?" Hua Jinglan asked with a sneer, "Want to slap someone again?"
Hua Wanyu paused, but did not dare to move her hand on the whip.
Hua Jinglan stood up, swept a few petals of pear blossoms off her skirt, and smiled evilly, "Do you really think you are the emperor's order?"
Hua Wanyu bit her lower lip and looked at her angrily, "The eminent monk from the Western Regions once said..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful," Hua Jinglan interrupted, "Don't you know why your engagement was annulled?"
"Your order as emperor and empress... I made it up..." She lowered her voice at the end and made a gesture of silence.
Hua Wanyu finally couldn't help but shed two tears and her whole body trembled slightly.
Hua Jinglan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, held her shoulders, leaned slightly, looked into her eyes, and said: "Hua Wanyu, I hold you up to throw you even harder. This you But remember it clearly, maybe the pie you picked up is the poison I put."
Hua Wanyu wanted to move, but the hands holding her shoulders restrained her with oppressive force. She couldn't avoid Hua Jinglan's gaze!
As the dark light surged, Hua Jinglan smiled faintly and said in a low voice, close to her ear: "Do you know why I keep giving in to you? It's because I'm waiting for an opportunity... "
A cold feeling ran down Hua Wanyu's back, and she stared into her eyes.
Hua Jinglan opened her lips slightly and spat out the remaining half of her sentence, "Waiting for an opportunity to kill you...!"
