5 Play With You (2/2)

The General was pissed his plans had failed, but Hongyue, this child was truly lucky. He looked sharply at Concubine Mei before putting on a fatherly smile.

”It's alright, let's move faster. The Crown Prince is waiting for us. We will get in trouble if he waits too long.”

Hongyue sneered. In the past, he always brushed her problems off she complained to him like it was nothing. The Hongyue in the past had thought he was burdened by all his politic work he never had the time to help her. It looks like she only needed to push a few more buttons before this two-faced father of hers will crack.

Arriving at the main family Hall, her father's sat on the center seat with the Concubine on his right. The Crown Prince was quietly was waving his fan and tapping his fingers on the table. He crossed his legs and set down his fan. A soft clang from the fan echoed the room.

”You sure took your time. ”

Concubine Mei blushed and waved over a servant.

”Go prepare the tea for our guest.”

The General coughed and laughed dryly.

”It was a spy. Upon being found out by my daughter, she committed suicide by consuming a death pill behind her teeth.”

Hongyue truly wanted to clap. What a sly brain he had. Truly amiable yet truly dumb. The Crown Prince wasn't an idiot, there were inner family issues and he couldn't exactly point out it out as it had nothing to do with him. Saying it was a spy meant don't look any further.

Seeing no reaction from the Prince, the General clapped his hands.

”Servants, bring in the tea”

Two servants brought in tea. Hongyue frowned, each of the servants was using the edge of their outer clothing wrapped over their hands. It was a subtle move, but she caught it.

”Hongyue, my dear, go serve the tea.”

Hongyue shuffled over, keeping her head down. At the table, she tapped her finger on the wooden surface. Her eyes dilated. Her power told her the water was overly hot and the cup holding it wasn't porcelain. If she was a 'normal', it would be no doubt she wouldn't be able to handle the pain of being burn and drop the tea onto the prince's lap. That would definitely get a death sentence from the Prince.

Oh, so is that how you want to play. Then this daughter will play along.

She reached for the cup.
