11 Wanna Play (1/2)
Concubine Mei looked frantically at the General. She couldn't even move her shaking feet. Sweat was starting to form on the forehead. The General carefully led the Crown Prince toward his chamber. He glanced back at his mistress. Sighing, he turned away.
Lan'er could feel her mother's hands trembling.Lan'er glazed at Hongyue. Did her eldest sister tell the truth?
”Mother. Mother. Hongyue wants to play.” Hongyue whined deliberately grabbing on to Concubine Mei's hand.
Concubine Mei could feel her head throbbing. She glared at the dumb looking girl in front of her. There was no sign of any magic practice yet this stupid girl wasn't dying. Yes, it was all because of this brat all of this happened. She slapped Hongyue's hand off.
