The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Although Hua Fuying is usually timid and humble.

But she was like a poisonous snake in the general's mansion, always lurking in the dark.

She had long known that Hua Jingqian appeared to be kind and loving, but was actually dark and selfish inside, and would abandon anyone for his own sake.

Otherwise, why would he go to Ye Chuji just to fight for a future for himself?

Doesn't he know what will be waiting for the General's Mansion if Ye Chuji ascends the throne and gathers the Hua family army?

Even his own father could be sacrificed. A useless Hua Fuyue was not worth creating rift between Hua Jingqian and Ye Chuji.

Maybe he would even hint that he would stop interfering and show his loyalty to Ye Chuji.

Hua Fuying thought expressionlessly.

After all, she was his own daughter, and the legitimate daughter he had spoiled since childhood. Hua Jingqian felt a little reluctant and sad.

But this mood did not last long.

A hint of ruthlessness emerged in Hua Jingqian's heart. No one could compare with his future!

Thinking of Hua Fuying's quick thinking today to contact Jialan, Hua Jingqian felt relieved. Fortunately, Ying'er could still be of some use.

After adjusting his thoughts, Hua Jingqian opened his eyes and looked at Hua Fuying and asked:

"After this incident, Hua Wu Ke will definitely be on guard. It will be difficult to attack in the future. Even if he succeeds quietly,

Father and brother will not agree to her marrying the prince and sharing a husband with Yue'er, what can you do?"

Although he had already handed the battle map to the prince in order to get rid of Hua Zhukong.

But now that the Hua family army has fallen into Hua Rongyu's hands, and there has been no progress on the matter, Hua Jingqian has to prepare for the worst.

What if Hua Zhukong comes back alive and lets Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo get married?

"This... Either the prince abandons the Hua family army and looks for other help. Or he tells Yue'er to shut up and tell the public that it was Yue'er who drugged the prince.

As for Hua Wu Ke, I will look for an opportunity later."

Hua Fuying knew that Hua Jingqian was not asking her what to do, but wanted to use her mouth to say something like giving up Hua Fuyue.

She refused to use this as a shield and said something ambiguous to make Hua Fuyue shut up.

"The Black Iron Army and the Hua Family Army are the most powerful forces in the Ye Kingdom right now. The rest are mostly in the hands of the Third Prince. Where can we find other helpers?"

Hua Fuying lowered her head, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly:

"Can't we borrow the power of other countries?"

Hua Jingqian was shocked.

Although it was known that the prince was colluding with foreign enemies, the battle map was also sent to the Northern Kingdom, but it was a border after all.

Who can investigate in detail what happened on the battlefield outside the Great Wall?

But if he wanted to use them to seize the throne, he would have to open the door to them and let them enter the capital.

That is treason!

It would be fine if they were sincere in helping us, but I'm afraid that they would turn around and bite us back with their wolfish ambitions, and take the opportunity to attack the Night Kingdom, which would be disastrous.

By then, both the prince and I will be traitors!

"Be careful with your words! Don't say such things again. Go back."

Hua Jingqian waved his hand and Hua Fuying left.

Yue'er, let's leave it to the prince, Hua Jingqian thought silently.

Went out again.

Hua Jingqian did not go to the alley last time. The people in that alley were just his subordinates who delivered messages to the prince.

Hua Jingqian took a carriage and stopped at a restaurant in the south of the city.

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the shopkeeper asked, "What would you like to order, sir?"

"I have a distant relative from the east who lives here, and I came to see him for something."

The east refers to the Eastern Palace, which is the code word for meeting the prince.

"Please wait on the second floor."

Hua Jingqian went upstairs and waited in the designated room.

After a while, someone opened the door. It was Ye Chuji's guard. The guard confirmed that the person looking for the prince was Hua Jingqian, and motioned for him to follow.

Hua Jingqian followed the guards to the third floor. The people guarding the third floor saw that it was the leader who brought the people up, so they did not stop him.

"Your Highness." Hua Jingqian entered the room and greeted respectfully.

"Well, sit down." Ye Chuji spoke, his expression unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I came here to talk about Yue'er. Yue'er has ruined the Crown Prince's plan this time. No matter how the Crown Prince deals with her, I have no complaints!"

Ye Chuji smiled coldly. He expected Hua Jingqian to come to find him, so he did not return to the palace but came here to wait for him.

I thought he was unhappy that his daughter could only be a concubine of the crown prince, not even a concubine of the crown prince. I didn't expect...

"Are you planning to give up on Hua Fuyue, Minister Hua?"

Ye Chuji asked bluntly without caring about Hua Jingqian's face as a father.

"As a humble subject, I should share your worries. In everything, the interests of the Crown Prince are the most important!"

Ye Chuji had long been thinking about getting rid of Hua Fuyue.

Even if he didn't marry Hua Wuke, he couldn't keep Hua Fuyue.

Otherwise, would that minister dare to marry his daughter to a prince who had married a concubine before having a wife?

I originally wanted to marry Hua Fuyue first and then kill her quietly.

After all, if she died before entering the door, it would definitely arouse Hua Jingqian's suspicion.

Unexpectedly, Hua Jingqian didn't care about his daughter's life or death at all, which was exactly what Ye Chuji wanted.

"Has Minister Hua thought it through?"

Hua Jingqian stood up from the chair and knelt down.

"I have thought it through. I am willing to die for the prince!"

Ye Chuji walked up to Hua Jingqian, bent down to help him up, and said comfortingly:

"I have seen all your contributions. When the situation becomes clear, if you are willing, I will accept Hua Fuying into the palace and will not treat you and your daughter unfairly."

I didn't expect that even without Hua Fuyue, Yue Ying'er could still catch the prince's eye.

This is really great. After all, Ying'er is much smarter. She will be able to help me more when she enters the palace in the future.

"I bow to thank you, Your Highness!"

At this time, Hua Fuyue was still crying and telling Sun Ruhui what happened today.

She didn't know yet that her father had abandoned her.

After returning in the afternoon, she told Sun Ruhui what had happened.

Sun Ruhui looked at the pinch marks on her neck and felt so distressed that she quickly called for hot water for her and let Hua Fuyue have a good rest.

It was not until dinner time that Hua Fuyue began to feel listless.

She was also very listless when she accompanied the old lady for dinner. The old lady thought she was just tired today and did not ask any further questions.

After dinner, Sun Ruhui took her back to her room and asked, "Did the Crown Prince say that you would be the Crown Princess?"

"He said he would make me the crown prince's concubine."

"what!"

Sun Ruhui, who was originally holding Hua Fuyue's hand loosely, suddenly exerted force, and Hua Fuyue cried out in pain.

Realizing that she had hurt her daughter, Sun Ruhui relaxed her strength and continued to ask, "Did your father agree?"

Hearing her daughter's "hmm", Sun Ruhui instantly exploded with anger and yelled:

"Hua Jingqian, that useless thing! How can I let you become the Crown Prince's concubine? No, after something like this happened, the Crown Prince must marry you as his consort!"

"No, I don't want to be the Crown Princess. I don't want to marry the Crown Prince. He will kill me!" Hua Fuyue screamed.

Seeing that Hua Fuyue was really scared, Sun Ruhui comforted her:

"With your father here, the prince couldn't really attack you. He was just trying to scare you so you wouldn't say anything.

Fortunately, you made a noise and let everyone notice it, otherwise the prince would have let this matter pass quietly."

Sun Ruhui also looked at her daughter with admiration.

Seeing that Hua Fuyue looked a little better, Sun Ruhui continued to coax her:

"You should fight for your dignity and let the prince marry you as his principal wife. Once you become the crown princess, you will be the queen in the future, enjoying endless wealth and glory. Why do you still envy Hua Wu Ke's trivial life?"
