NOVEL WEB There was a short sparkle in Hua Ruizi’s eyes, but she soon sighed with eyes downcast, “Although Prince Yunhai married me, but you are the only one he wants to be with. If he ascends to the throne, he may not make me the empress.”
“But I don’t want to be the empress…”
Hua Qingxin murmured sadly, but these words stabbed Hua Ruizi’s heart hard like a needle.
Yet she pretended to stay calm and smiled lightly, “See? You still cannot forget Prince Yunhai. You have betrayed His Majesty for long!”
“I…” Hua Qingxin was shocked by her accusation, but she couldn’t find a word to defend herself. After a second thought on her sister’s words, she was frightened, “But it’s almost the same as a coup. A serious crime.”
“So you’ll sit by and watch Prince Yunhai killed by the emperor?”
“He won’t, he won’t do that.” Even if she didn’t like the emperor, who hadn’t left her a good impression anyway, she was still convinced that he was not brutal enough to murder his own brother.
Hua Ruizi sneered and said with certainty, “If so, then why has he spared no efforts to repress Prince Yunhai? Prince Yunhai was trusted by the late emperor and holds the military power, yet His majesty is always resolute to eradicate his enemies. Such an arrogant and arbitrary emperor has long seen Prince Yunhai as a threat. He just needs an opportunity to root out Prince Yunhai.”
“He just… seems like” Hua Qingxin was hesitated, while Yun Cang’s words resounded in her mind again.
I don’t care about what she did in the past. I just care about what she does now…
“Will he really kill Prince Yunhai?”
“The imperial family are the most ruthless.”
“But, if the emperor… dies because of me…” She hated Yun Cang and even wanted to finish her life as he blemished her chastity, but she never wanted him to die.
“You’re overthinking, Qingxin. Prince Yunhai is not a merciless man. He just wants to save himself, so he won’t kill the emperor.” Hua Ruizi covered her red lips and smiled mildly, “After all, women shouldn’t meddle with political matters. . What’s most important is, you can live a happy life with Prince Yunhai.”
Live a happy life!
With Prince Yunhai?!
Hua Qingxin’s heart raced uncontrollably. The picture of “Living a happy life with Prince Yunhai” haunted her and seemed extremely tempting.
Maid Meng didn’t know what Princess Ruizi had told to Ronghua Hua, but after their conversation, Hua Qingxin stopped weeping and threating to hang herself. When the emperor came to see her the next day, it was also extraordinary that she didn’t send him away, instead, she let him stay in her room for a long time.
Maid Meng wondered what the quarrelsome couple were talking about in the room.
“Aren’t you even suspicious of me?” Hua Qingxin couldn’t help asking this man, with a teacup in her hands.
Yesterday, almost all the consorts suspected her as the spy of Prince Yunhai, but Yun Cang was the only one who trusted her firmly. Therefore, she had been quite self-confident then, while now, she felt very… diffident.
Yun Cang sat at the window and smiled proudly in sunlight, shining dazzlingly.
“No.” He gazed at her and raised his chin a little bit, then said firmly, “because I am not afraid of that.”
He had supreme power and absolute confidence, so he didn’t care about what was going on between Hua Qingxin and Prince Yunhai. He strongly believed Hua Qingxin, no matter now or in the future, could never run away from him.
Hearing that, Hua Qingxin was even a little bit worried about his arrogance. She was desperate to tell him that all of these were his own wishful thinking, but she couldn’t…Yet she barely could restrain the impulse to tell him the truth, “Then if… if, Prince Yunhai really plans to…”
“Don’t bring up that name anymore.” Yun Cang interrupted her and grasped her hand, holding it in his palm. He ordered arbitrarily, “From now on, you should love no one but me, you hear me?”
Hua Qingxin was baffled. She looked at Yun Cang’s bright eyes and suddenly felt that he was wrapped in a dazzling aura.
However, she also recalled her sister’s remark on Yun Cang, which was correct. He was the most arbitrary and the most arrogant.
Seeing her baffled face, Yun Cang thought that she might have been shocked, so he pinched her face gently and teased, “I won’t mind if you want to help me.”
“What?” Hua Qingxin was alarmed and had a bad hunch, “What do you mean?”
