The useless second daughter of the Hua family

This high priest has no moral principles.

Before he was put in jail for trial, he had already exposed the Prime Minister. If the news that a high-ranking official of the dynasty used his illegitimate daughter to raise Gu was leaked, the whole court would be shocked. Was he trying to find someone to take the blame before his death?

The emperor had heard before that a monk who spread evil words and misled the people had come to the capital and had been captured by the regent. He never thought that the person who was bewitched was actually his own prime minister.

He sat on the edge of the bed tiredly and rubbed his temples. These days had been a mess.

Hua Miaomiao felt a little sympathetic towards him. So far, Yao Muyuan's identity has not been revealed, which would be really big news.

"Look at the bright side. We have the high priest on our side, so we don't have to worry about Wu Sang not submitting."

"Yes, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhu to go there."

Mr. Zhu took the order and left. Hua Miaomiao sat next to the emperor and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Relax, things have to be solved one by one."

The emperor turned to look at her, with kindness in his eyes?

"Once everything is settled, I will definitely give you an identity."

Hua Miaomiao's scalp tightened. What did he mean?

"You are my niece anyway, and Xiaoyu is now a princess. As her master, you can't be without status, right?"

Hua Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, she was almost scared to death. However, she didn't want to be a generation younger than Xiaoyu Yizhu for no reason.

"Let's talk about this later. Take good care of Yizhu. I'm going back first."

When Hua Miaomiao left the palace, she was a little surprised to see the man guarding outside the palace gate.

"Why are you standing guard outside the palace gate instead of staying with Prime Minister Qian?"

Lin Wei bowed respectfully to the two of them and said, "I have something to ask of you, young lady."

Hua Miaomiao didn't have a good impression of him, so naturally she couldn't put on a good face.

"Sorry, not available."

As she said that, she prepared to leave with Xiaoyu. Lin Wei reached out to stop them, but Xiaoyu got into a stance, as if she was ready to fight at any time.

Hua Miaomiao smiled and put Xiaoyu's hand down, then looked at Lin Wei coldly, "You want to fight at the palace gate?"

Lin Wei put his hands down and clasped his fists to apologize, "I dare not do that. I have offended you before. I hope you will forgive me, young lady."

Hua Miaomiao was a person who would not tolerate harsh words, especially when someone like Lin Wei, who was usually as hard as a rock, suddenly became so polite to her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"The princess...is in the Regent's Palace. Please take care of her when you return."

Hua Miaomiao thought, this might not be that simple. Princess Linglan had been there before. Was it necessary for the Prime Minister's Mansion to come to ask for instructions specifically?

"Has she discovered your dirty deeds?"

She was just lying, and Lin Wei looked up in shock.

"You know all that?"

"I know more than you think. Tell me, how much does the princess know? I can cover up for you."

Hua Miaomiao really likes this feeling of pretending. From Lin Wei, she learned that Ling Lan followed the house and found the mother and daughter. She probably thought they were the prime minister's mistress.

Only after getting Hua Miaomiao's promise did Lin Wei leave with peace of mind.

"What kind of person is Lin Wei?" Hua Miaomiao asked herself.

"He is a member of the royal family." A voice suddenly appeared in her ear. Hua Miaomiao was startled and turned around. It turned out to be Mr. Zhu.

"Didn't the emperor order you to go to the prison to do your job?"

"It's done."

"So fast?"

"I had his uncle beaten up, and then force-fed some knockout drugs into his mouth. Then I threw him into the cell opposite his. He could see it but get no response, so he could only worry. I guarantee that within three days, he would surrender."

What a cunning man! Hua Miaomiao stared at him for a long time before giving him a thumbs up. "Old Zhu, you are awesome."

Mr. Zhu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop being so sarcastic. Who am I doing this for?"

Hua Miaomiao turned her head away uncomfortably. "Um, what did you mean when you said Lin Wei was from the royal family?"

"Lin Wei used to be the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard is the secret guard of the princes. In order to cultivate the loyalty of the Imperial Guard, each batch of Imperial Guards is personally selected by the princes when they are young and raised by their side. Lin Wei used to be the regent's man."

"No wonder his attitude towards me changed so drastically."

"Later, when the princess got married, the regent selected a group of guards for her. This matter originally would not have fallen on the shoulders of the Imperial Guards. I heard that it was the Imperial Guards who asked for it themselves."

"He wouldn't be..." Hua Miaomiao had some guesses, but when she saw Mr. Zhu's eyes, she understood. The two of them were probably thinking the same thing. No wonder Lin Wei helped Yao Muyuan do that, probably because he really thought it was good for Ling Lan.

Hua Miaomiao waved her hand, "Okay, I got it. You can go back."

"Is there anyone like you who would destroy the bridge after crossing it?"

"The Regent doesn't like me playing with you. I'm afraid he'll see you and have someone beat you up again."

"Come on, I'll give you a ride."

Mr. Zhu sent them to the vicinity of the palace and then left.

"Miss, you and Mr. Zhu, you..." Xiaoyu pondered for a long time along the way. Watching Hua Miaomiao and Mr. Zhu chatting and laughing easily, she seemed to have returned to the past. She didn't know what happened three years ago. After the reunion, the young lady was reluctant to mention the matter of her son-in-law.

"Miss, as long as you are happy, Xiaoyu will support you no matter what choice you make." Although she has been cultivated and supported by the Ge family in the past three years, nothing can be compared with Hua Miaomiao.

Seeing Xiaoyu's serious expression, Hua Miaomiao wondered what she was thinking about. She poked Xiaoyu's head in annoyance.

"What on earth are you thinking about? Your lady should have some boundaries, okay?"

She walked forward quickly, feeling somewhat guilty. It was undeniable that Lao Zhu gave her a very familiar feeling, with no barriers at all, and it was very easy to be with him.

After returning to the palace, Hua Miaomiao learned that Ling Lan was chatting with the Regent in his study. She cried out inwardly that something was wrong and ran straight to the study.

In the study, Ling Lan was pale and slumped in the armchair. She originally thought that Qian Ning had a mistress behind her back, but she didn't expect that she was the one who came later. She didn't even know who the person who slept next to her every day was. She wanted to repay her father, but indirectly killed the benefactor.

"Ling Lan, cheer up. You are the most honorable princess of our dynasty. He is the husband you chose yourself. Just follow your own wishes."

Ling Lan looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

"No matter who he is, as long as you still want to continue with him, he is your husband, Princess Linglan. As for the other outsiders, I will deal with them."

Hua Miaomiao was shocked when she heard this. What did "clean it up" mean? And the phrase "no matter who he is", did he really know everything? Did Princess Linglan know too?

But this is normal. From the moment the Regent detained the High Priest, he could not hide all this. As long as he traced the mother and daughter, he could find Yao Muyuan. Then he could verify it in their hometowns and understand it with a little reasoning.

This was originally a conspiracy full of loopholes. The only reason it was able to be hidden until now was because he was chosen by the current princess and no one dared to investigate.
