Princess Huiling snorted, and stood up haughtily and pointed at Hua Qiyue, saying, "You,e out of there!"


    Yun Shimo’s face became severe. And Ji Feng almost stood up but was grabbed by Ji Jing who said to him, "Don’t do that... Sister Qiyue is not the kind of girl that can be easily bullied."


    Ji Jing was actually whispering to Ji Feng, but Huangfu Xuan was amused to grin after hearing her words, satirizing that Qiyue was finally taught a lesson for her arrogance.


    Hua Qiyue stood up unhurriedly, handing Tianci to Yun Shimo, and followed the princess to another private room. Entering the room, Hua Qiyue leisurely opened the window and heard a voice from the other room that Princess Huizhen was gnashing her teeth and saying, "That b*tch ruined my reputation and made me have to remain nameless to live in this world..."


    Hearing this, Princess Huiling’s face went white and she abruptly pushed Hua Qiyue away, picking up her own ears to listen for the sound of the next door.


    Just now, Princess Huizhen took Zhou Zhicheng into the other private dining room just to avoid some unrted persons. However, Princess Huizhen had never expected that this time, she happened to be caught by Princess Huiling again.


    Hua Qiyue was confused and blinked her eyes, speaking to Princess Huiling, "Your Highness, didn’t you ask me for something?"


    "Get out of here!" Princess Huiling yelled in a low voice, and then she called her maidservant Qing’er who was standing asides and asked her to find out whether Zhou Zhicheng was really staying with Princess Huizhen.


    After a while, Qing’er came back and informed Princess Huiling that it was true that Zhou Zhicheng was with Princess Huizhen.


    Princess Huiling murmured with resentment in her eyes, "No wonder queen mother treated me like this... I see. It was because that b*tch had never died! But how would queen mother let her die? Obviously, queen mother just used a scapegoat to die in her stead!"


    A maidservant stood on the side and her face went white with fear.


    If what Princess Huiling had gone out, the royal reputation would probably be ruined.


    Princess Huiling heavily pinched her nail wrap to her palm, only hearing a snap and the nail wrap fractured.


    "Your Highness, please be cautious about your speech!"


    Qing’er, standing on the princess’s side, murmured. Princess Huiling lifted her brow and a cold smile arose from the side of her mouth and she said, "Somebody, send someone to spy on her!"


    Princess Huiling also had two close, loyal private guards who were appointed by the emperor to protect her. After all, she was the princess of the country, therefore, it was not strange that she has two senior Qi Artists to be her private guards.


    The two private guards immediately appeared, and then they left in silence after they answered Her Highness reverently.


    Two hourster, the private guards came back and reported that Princess Huizhen should have entered Hua Qiyue’s newly rewarded mansion.


    Princess Huiling astonished by the news. "Ergo, does it mean that Princess Huizhen attaches herself to Hua Qiyue? But Hua Qiyue is just a teeny-weeny infanta and she will not win me." Princess Huiling thought.


    The voice that Princess Huizhen gnashed out "b*tch" still lingered around Princess Huiling’s ears. And out of strong hatred and cruelty in her heart, Princess Huiling recklessly waved her hand and said, "All of you follow me and head to the Mansion of Jinghua in the south of the city."


    Princess Huiling had two private guards but she also had tens of open guards. Every time she went out of the mansion, she swaggered around with these open guards. In this way, on the one hand, she could avoid assassination. On the other hand, she just wanted to put on airs.


    With thismand, the princess and her guards mightily headed to the Mansion of Jinghua.


    It was the period of the day from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m right now, and still, many pedestrians hurried across the street. But there were a group of busybodies followed them far behind because they detected a murderous look on the princess’s face.


    Only did they see that the princess brought her guards to the Mansion of Jinghua. Two of these guards stepped forward and kicked the gate of the mansion open in a violent force.


    Actually, Hua Qiyue hadn’t moved in but the gate was easily opened. The door opened, and Hua Qiyue, followed by her two maidservants Lv Xin and Youshui, stepped out of the mansion. Seeing the princess and her guards, Hua Qiyue was astonished but immediately turned calm.


    Hua Qiyue gave a salute to the princess and asked, "Your Highness, wee to visit my house, but why not let me greet you from the outside of the house?"


    "Hua Qiyue, how dare you! How dare you harbor a criminal! And my guards, search the mansion!" the princess said.


    Princess Huiling snorted with murderous intent in her eyes.


    Hua Qiyue was bewildered with astonishment in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "Your Highness, it is indeed a huge misunderstanding! Obviously, I dare not harbor a criminal even if you give me enough courage!"


    Princess Huiling still scornfully nced at her, and those ten open guards had already broken into Hua Qiyue’s mansion and searched for Princess Huizhen.


    Watching the back of the guards, Hua Qiyue gently frowned her pretty eyebrows and looked like weedy grass and withered flowers.


    Unexpectedly, fifteen minutester, those guards came back and said, "Your Highness, nobody was found!"


    "What?" Princess Huiling was so confused that she became surprised and outraged, and then she turned around and looked at Hua Qiyue ferociously, saying, "Princess Jinghua, if you hand out the criminal immediately, I will spare your life."


    Those bystanders, standing outside the gate, whispered to each other that it was indeed surprised that Princess Huiling unexpectedly broke into the Mansion of Jinghua to search for a criminal. However, the controversy would, of course, arise among the people because after all, nothing had been found.


    "What happened to the princess? Why did she use Princess Jinghua of harboring a criminal?"


    "I’ve heard that there was friction between Princess Jinghua and her!"


    "Tut, she is really an unruly princess now."


    "So, you figure it out now? This princess and that princess who was bestowed to be killed are both..."


    "I don’t know what Your Highness was talking about. People in my mansion and I have always been frank and forthright, how WILL you find out any criminal?" Hua Qiyue said that out loud and her eyes shed with irony.


    And now, Princess Huiling realized that she seemed to have been fooled and she was very furious, and she said, "Hua Qiyue, how dare you! Just now, I saw evidently that Princess Huizhen..."


    The voice suddenly halted and all the guards were looking at Princess Huiling with huge fear. And she realized that she had said something wrong before she went on. She gnashed her teeth with hatred and her eyes turned red because of great anger.


    Hua Qiyue leisurely shook her head and said, "Your Highness, your guards must have been mistaken. Since Princess Huizhen has already passed away, how could she get in and go out of my mansion? Or maybe, when I entered my house together with Lv Xin and another maidservant, you saw one back of theirs that looked like Princess Huizhen’s. But I can understand since Your Highness misses your elder sister so hard."


    Princess Huiling’s face went white and now the people standing outside the mansion were having more fiercely discussion, "Did you hear? She said that Princess Huizhen really entered infanta’s mansion!"


    "Haha, that princess has been bestowed to be killed long ago. If she were still alive, then it could only prove that the emperor has shielded his ferocious princess, how inhumane it is!"


    "Right, and look at Princess Huiling, if she acted like this, then Princess Huizhen must be alive, isn’t she? Otherwise, Princess Huiling wouldn’t be so nervous..."


    Princess Huiling had heard every word that the people standing outside the mansion had said, and she turned around coldly with a murderous look bursting out of her eyes which scared the surrounding crowd so much that they quickly dispersed.


    Hua Qiyue stood there calmly and the big spray fountain behind her, as well as the exquisite pavilions and rockeries, made her look more like a fairy descending to the world. No matter how much beautiful scenes appear behind her, they would be pale and overshadowed.


    "Hua Qiyue! You won! "But I will not let it go!"


    Princess Huiling gnashed to cry. And at the thought of Yun Shimo’s being gentle to Hua Qiyue, Princess Huiling itched to disfigure her little fine face.


    Hua Qiyue was as peaceful as still water, although a bunch of ferocious light burst out of Princess Huiling’s eyes. Even the princess’s guards felt chilled on their backs by the light.


    "Your Highness, your words were too serious. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. Moreover, I am just a woman and women still have to depend on men, anyway, the criminal will go to her lover’s ce to hide instead of hiding in my ce. Of course, unless that man loves someone else, and then..."


    Hua Qiyue murmured. Hearing this, Princess Huiling’s eyes were constantly evasive, and she thought, "What do Hua Qiyue’s words mean?"


    "Hua Qiyue was implying that in fact, Princess Huizhen was with Zhou Zhicheng and she induced me toe here only to make me misunderstand Hua Qiyue so that people would mock at Hua Qiyue and me, is it true?" Princess Huiling thought.


    "Hua Qiyue, this time, I’ll let go of you!"


    Princess Huiling said, and then she turned around and strode away, heading to the princess’s mansion. As for Hua Qiyue, the coldness was drifting in her eyes and she calmly turned her head, looking at the mansion messed up by the guards, and she said, "Lv Xin, ask the permanent servants to clean this up... after all, this mansion was bestowed by his majesty, how can I let it be a mess?"


    Lv Xin answered. Hua Qiyue calmly headed to the inner hall. Everything in the hall was extremely gorgeous and indeed suits her status of infanta.


    Fifteen minutester, Youshui came in and reported that Yun Shimo wanted to see her.


    With Hua Qiyue’s permission, Yun Shimo strode into the hall and he saw Hua Qiyue sitting there and tasting her tea. He came to her with a bit of coldness in his eyes.


    Yun Shimo stretched out his hand and took away Hua Qiyue’s teacup and said, "You’re still drinking tea? Hua Qiyue, harboring the criminal is a double guilty, not mention you, the infanta!"


    Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes helplessly and an ironic smile skimmed over her lips, "Prince Nan, are you implying that I have done something wrong? What makes you think so?"


    Yun Shimo looked at her coldly without a word.


    "The princess has already taken her guards here and searched the whole mansion and it turned to be a misunderstanding. And I sincerely thank you since Your highness cares about me so much. But please don’t frequently speak such nonsense to me."


    Bingyi’s mouth corner twitched and he thought, "What’s wrong with His Highness? He shoulde here and help this woman!"


    Ayer of anger arose from Yun Shimo’s eyes and he said, "I’m just afraid that Long Red will be rampantly trampled by some greedy people if you suddenly die."


    Hua Qiyue smiled softly, "Your Highness, if I suddenly die, then Your Highness will own Long Red, won’t you?"


    Yun Shimo’s look changed slightly, and now the anger in his eyes became even more fiercer "I have no luck to enjoy your things!"


    He swung his sleeves and left after saying that.


    Youshui stood on the side and felt curious about the conversation between her master and His Highness.


    However, after a few steps, Yun Shimo came back and asked Bingyi and Youshui to leave.


    Hua Qiyue, however, pretended to care for nothing and sipped her tea again. Her eyebrows and eyes were so picturesque that at the moment she lowered her eyebrows, she looked as tender as lotus.


    Yun Shimo came to her, "Princess Huizhen is not a woman to be trifled with. Hua Qiyue, you’d better stay away from him!"


    Of course, Princess Huizhen was not a woman to be trifled with because after all, she is the daughter of the Empress. Though Princess Huizhenmitted a capital crime, the empress still bailed her out with a scapegoat, didn’t she?


    So, giving Princess Huizhen a hard time means to offend the Empress.


    Hua Qiyue knew that one day, the empress would find out her scheme of letting the two sisters hurt each other.


    Hua Qiyue was bing strong step by step and she would not be frightened even if her opponent is the Empress.


    Hua Qiyue raised her watery eyes and her thin lips gently opened, "I don’t know what Your Highness meant."


    "Hua Qiyue, are you still ying dumb? It was you that helped Princess Huizhen to settle down and now you pretend to know nothing about it!" Yun Shimo’s eyes became cold and he said, "For Tianci’s sake, I meddled in your business and became a busybody!"


    Hua Qiyue twinkled her ck eyes and turned her eyes to the extremely handsome face of Yun Shimo.
