98 No Need To Fear (1/2)

Near the quarters where the eldest miss was currently confined in, a slight disturbance could be heard from the outside the room. Hongyue's curiosity was instantly piqued as her eyes flashed with a hint of enthusiasm.

She leaned forward.

A few strands of her dark hair fell forward, gently covering half her face, which gave her a slightly unusual vibe. She pulled at the right sleeve of the Emperor with a child-like playfulness.

”What was that sound?” She tilted her head and echoed out a whisper of eagerness, ”Are we going to play another game?”

Another game?

Did she mean the game when she pretended to talk to spirits and called people fat whenever she pleased?

The Emperor glanced down at where her hands were in contact with his clothing, and he attempted to remove her hands. With a forced smile, he addressed her question with a quick ”perhaps.”

The doors to the room were abruptly shoved open roughly.

”Your majesty,” A short messenger, dressed in dark navy, swiftly entered the room. His feet thudded lightly on the carpeted ground, and he rushed forward toward the bed where the Emperor was. Coming closer to the bed, he leaned down, and in a hushed voice, he whispered into the Emperor's ear.

The Emperor's expression didn't change, but his eyes became more sinister.

Oh?

The third miss of the Wei Family came?

Was General Wei already using his third daughter to get back the eldest one? He studied at the foolish girl in front of him. Hongyue was staring back with a clueless smile splattered on her face. Her eyes were filled with a type of happiness he could only call 'idiocy.'

Nodding his head and waving away the servant, he announced the happy news to Hongyue with a gentle voice, ”Your third sister would like to see you, do you want to let her in?”

Hongyue wanted to scoff.

He was treating her like her words actually held some weight. Her eyes tilted down in a bewildered manner, and her voice was doubtful.

”Third sister?”

Noticing that the eldest miss didn't seem all that close to her sister, the Emperor couldn't hide a smile of relief that was starting to appear. Even if the general were going to do everything to get this useless daughter of his, he wouldn't be able to make a dent. With a brain this dense, the Emperor couldn't help but laugh. It was too easy to control her mind.
