Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Huamei waved her hand. “No need. I can go by myself.”
No matter how fast she was, she was not as fast as demons.
Hu Yu curled her lips and muttered unhappily. “It hurts to be hit by those Daoists. No, 1 have to look for Young Marquis and see if he has any healing worms.”
Hu Yu was about to enter the house when she turned around and left the courtyard in a flash.
Luo Huamei was dumbfounded. Mortals were too weak. She would never be able to compare to demons in terms of speed.
Liu Yuanyuan walked to Luo Huamei’s side and stopped in her tracks. She said coldly, “You can go in.”
Liu Yuanyuan’s tone was not polite at all. Luo Huamei understood that if she ran, she would definitely die.
Luo Huamei took a deep breath and walked into the main hall. She saw Liu Sanniang pouring a cup of hot tea. When Liu Sanniang saw her enter, she handed the tea over.
Luo Huamei took the teacup and sat down beside Liu Sanniang.
Luo Huamei took a sip of tea. There was a fruity taste to the tea. It was peach tea with a faint fragrance of tea and a faint sweetness of the peaches. It was delicious.
Luo Huamei said, “I’ve never drunk this tea before.”
Liu Sanniang replied calmly, “I made it myself. If Madam likes it, I can give you some.”
Luo Huamei looked at Liu Sanniang. She had thought of many possibilities. In short, among these possibilities, she and Liu Sanniang were definitely not sitting here, drinking tea on peaceful terms.
Luo Huamei looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes and said coldly, “I’m already in your hands. Miss Liu, why are you pretending?”
Her heartache was caused by Liu Sanniang. At the thought of her son whose life and death were unknown, the pain slowly spread throughout her heart, making her feel suffocated.
Liu Sanniang looked at Luo Huamei and said, “You have already returned to the capital. Why didn’t you return to the palace?”
Luo Huamei’s expression revealed a trace of mockery. “Why don’t 1 return to the palace? Shouldn’t you ask yourself? You helped the Third Prince succeed in becoming the crown prince, but my son lost his power overnight. What’s the use of me going back?”
Thinking of this, Luo Huamei’s expression turned sinister. “You even took away my son’s life force to make me feel so much pain. You actually have the cheek to ask me why.”
Facing Luo Huamei’s question, Liu Sanniang said without changing her expression, “If 1 don’t get rid of the fake empress, will you have a chance to return to the palace in this life?”
Luo Huamei’s eyes widened. She did not expect Liu Sanniang to ask her a question instead. Suddenly, her sense of righteousness was all gone.
Before Liu Sanniang asked her this question, she thought that she was in the right and that Liu Sanniang should be ashamed of what she did. However, when she heard this question, she felt extremely uncomfortable and ashamed of herself..
If the fake empress was still around, she would never be able to be the empress again in her life. She had to hide everywhere. Not only did she have to guard against her captors, but she also had to guard against the fake empress. Her life was filled with danger. It was Liu Sanniang who killed the fake empress that gave her hope.
Liu Sanniang looked at Luo Huamei and said coldly, “Your Majesty, do you know what the Star Reaching Tower is?”
Luo Huamei’s mind was in a mess. “1 don’t know, but I know you want my help, right? Then 1 have a request.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Luo Huamei and said coldly, “You have no right to make a request.”
Liu Sanniang’s coldness made Luo Huamei shocked. She was also filled with anger. Liu Sanniang was the one who needed her help. Why did she have no right to make a request?
Luo Huamei was very angry. She had long asked around about Liu Sanniang and knew what kind of person Liu Sanniang was. She gritted her teeth and said, “Why do 1 have no right? It’s your responsibility to eliminate the fake empress. Aren’t you the chosen one? Weren’t you born to eliminate evil? Everything you did was what you should do, but you asked me to help you. If you can’t satisfy my quest, I won’t help you.”
Luo Huamei was furious. This was her relationship with Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang had a favor to ask of her, so how could she say that she was not qualified?
Liu Sanniang looked at Luo Huamei, and her cold expression made Luo Huamei’s heart sink.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “There are too many evils in this world. All the living beings in this world are responsible. Your Majesty, you can understand it this way. I’m a doctor that helps a patient treat his festering wound. In order to make sure the wound won’t fester further, I will have no choice but to remove some of the fresh flesh. Your Majesty, you are in between good and bad flesh.”
Luo Huamei looked at Liu Sanniang in shock. At this moment, she understood that none of the things she knew about Liu Sanniang matched.
Liu Sanniang’s voice was calm and heartless. “You can be kept or removed, and It’s not up to me to make the choice. You have the choice.”
Luo Huamei pursed her lips tightly, but she could not help but tremble. She looked at Liu Sanniang, her heart filled with fear. She could not even think properly. She looked away and took a big sip of fruit tea to hide her panic.
Luo Huamei felt that her mind was in a mess. She wanted to think carefully. The sky outside was already bright, and dazzling light shone in.
Luo Huamei slowly raised her head and looked at Liu Sanniang, who was still sitting beside her. Her voice was a little dry as she said slowly, “Miss Liu, 1 want to see my son. As long as he’s still safe, I’ll agree to all your requests.”
In the end, she figured out that she had no right to negotiate. Liu Sanniang did not care what choice she made because Liu Sanniang had a way to solve the situation even without her help..
