5 Play With You (1/2)

The General waved his hand and nearby servants ran off to get the concubine. Shifting his right to his left foot, the General nervously proposed the idea of going back into the main hall.

”Hmph, the view here is unsightly. Don't think that just because we're leaving this area means I'll let you off. You'll have to give me a proper report!” The Crown Prince flapped his sleeves firmly and headed off first.

The General nervously wiped his forehead. Hongyue watched coldly at him, ”Father, should I go with you.”

The General stared, ”Are you sure you didn't see anything.”

”No father, this daughter was so fearful. ”

The General frowned, just as he was about to dismiss her, Concubine Mei arriving on scene spoke out.

”My Lord.”

The General's eyes softened, putting on a warm smile he opened his arm and welcomed his lover. He tilted his head and whispered something in her ears. She appeared shocked but nodded. The General smiled fondly but Hongyue could see something else behind that fondness.

”My daughter, come with your father. You're a witness.”

Hongyue looked on coldly but her face appeared harmless and innocent.

”Yes father, this daughter will do so.”

Following the two, Hongyue noted the servants following her were acting strangely. To her front, Concubine Mei was slowly gathering energy in her right hand by murmuring a spell under her breath. The soft green glow indicated it was an attack spell. Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see a servant walking closer than he should have. The servant' s hand suddenly pushed out and Hongyue stepped quickly to her left and suddenly grabbed on to the General.

”Father!”

The servant wasn't excepting Hongyue to move and fell forward himself. His body clashed on to Concubine Mei's right hand and collapsed to the ground coughing out blood.

Hongyue narrowed her eyes, she expected some underhand scheme but it seems like this witch was way too bold. Her father frowned.

”A spy! Take him away and behead him.”

Hongyue clicked her tongue. Tsk, looks like her father really thought of her being a stupid idiot. He really thought she knew nothing about magic or his dumb farce. He must have planted this with his lover, or else the first person he should suspect is her not a servant. By claiming the servant was a spy erased any flaws towards both evildoers. However, how will he explain this new unexpected death to the Crown Prince? Or will he hide it, Hongyue smirked, she wasn't going to let him. Hongyue grabbed on to his hands and pretended to shake in terror.

”Father, I'm scared.”
