Chapter 9 - You Should Love No One but Me (II) (1/2)
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!
