Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Duchess Wang Qixing walked behind her husband and began to observe the surrounding situation. If she remembered correctly, the second prince's bedroom was nearby.

Duchess Wang Qixing was curious to know how much the original plan had been changed by her husband. She didn't understand why he had moved the plan forward instead of waiting until tomorrow morning. Perhaps, in the chaotic night, everything would unfold, making it easier for the royal family to remain silent in the chaos.

Duchess Wang Qixing saw a startling scene out of the corner of her eye. She thought it was a trick of the light, but when she blinked, the woman was still there. Even from the side, the woman looked very similar to her daughter.

"Minghua?" Duchess Wang Qixing whispered.

When Li Xueyue heard the name, she was shocked and turned her head to look in the direction that the Duchess was suddenly attracted to. Not far away, stood a woman dressed in maid's clothes.

“Minghua?!” Duchess Wang Qixing called out, startling her husband, who looked back in time to see her rushing in the woman’s direction.

"Mom, wait!" Li Xueyue shouted, and also left the crowd and caught up with the agile Duchess.

The woman must not have heard the Duchess's voice and continued walking forward and turned a corner.

Duchess Wang Qixing knew she was right. It was impossible for a mother not to recognize her own daughter! No matter how much time had passed, she would never forget the brilliance of that hydrangea hairpin.

It was like she was in a trance and the world around her didn't matter anymore. Her legs tensed as she chased after the woman who was walking too fast. She paid no attention to the others as she turned the corner.

Duchess Wang Qixing never believed that Li Minghua was dead. Her hopes were dashed when her body was not found and her daughter was missing.

Suddenly seeing the woman reinforced her prediction that she was chasing her past and giving up her future, not knowing what consequences she would bring to others.

"Mother?" Li Xueyue turned the corner angrily, only to find that the Duchess was gone. She was trapped at a crossroads, with corridors winding to the west, east, and north.

Which way will the Duchess go?

Li Xueyue bit her lower lip, a little uncertain. The west wing was brighter than the east wing, and she thought the east wing was the second prince's bedroom.

The corner of her eyes twitched slightly, and she turned her head to see the colorful Hanfu, which then disappeared downstairs of the west wing.

“Mother!” Li Xueyue called out, believing that this was the path that Duchess Wang Qixing had taken.

Li Xueyue immediately picked up the Hanfu and ran down to the brightly lit west wing. Eventually, the corridor became more decorative and luxurious. Shining red pillars supported the golden ceiling, and her shoes made a thumping sound as she stepped on the polished corridor. The luxury in this corridor alone was enough to buy a small kingdom.

Li Xueyue stopped to catch her breath, unable to continue chasing. “Where is this place?” she gasped.

Turning her head, she found that this place was too unrealistic for an ordinary concubine.

"So empty..." Li Xueyue whispered, noticing that there wasn't even a single guard or servant here. She thought it was because of the chaos in the throne room. Everyone must have been called there, or had fled in fear of getting hurt.

Li Xueyue's ears twitched. She heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She turned around quickly and saw that the door was closed. Immediately, she moved closer in that direction, hoping to find someone who could take her away from this place.

"It's strange, why is there still someone here?" Li Xueyue said to herself as she walked to the door.

Goose bumps appeared on her arms, and a feeling of fear swept over her body. Li Xueyue turned back suddenly and shouted, "Who?!"

Li Xueyue narrowed her eyes. She was sure she could sense a presence behind her. She looked back, but there was no one behind her.

Li Xueyue rubbed her arms, becoming more and more frightened by the strange atmosphere. Being alone in this huge palace suddenly felt daunting. She didn't know how to leave here.

"Hello?" Li Xueyue called out, not realizing that she was attracting unnecessary attention.

Li Xueyue bit her lower lip. "Maybe it's just my imagination," she sighed. The sleep-deprived days were beginning to take their toll on her. If she got home, she'd call the doctor for some herbal supplements.

"I should go back," she said aloud.

Li Xueyue knew that her loud voice would definitely be recognized by her mother. Since no one responded to her, it could only mean that the Duchess did not walk down this side of the corridor.

"you!"

Li Xueyue was startled when she heard a scream from behind the door. She opened her eyes wide and looked around, wondering if they were talking to her.

"How did you get in?!"

Li Xueyue shuddered at the piercing scream. She realized that the sound was coming from behind the door she had seen open and close before. Moving in that direction, she debated the idea of ​​eavesdropping.

"Guards!" the same voice shouted.

Li Xueyue's eyes widened. It sounded familiar and feminine. She had no choice but to lean against the door to listen to what was going on.

"There are no guards outside," said another voice.

Li Xueyue tilted her head. She recognized the voice, too. What had happened? If there were no soldiers or servants here, why didn't they lead the people in this room to safety in advance? All this made no sense to her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the queen, how could there not be a single guard or maidservant outside?!"

Hearing this, Li Xueyue's jaw dropped. This is the Queen's residence?! She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Maybe it's a good idea for her to leave...

"That's not my problem," said another voice. "You just like to sleep without a guard or a bodyguard, fearing that you will be assassinated in your sleep. What a stupid idea. Without a guard or a bodyguard here, who else will protect you?"

"Is this how you repay my kindness?!" Queen Huiyun hissed, her lips wrinkled. "I let you leave the fire, and you only got a few burns on your arms! Because of my kindness, you were able to survive."

"Is that how you justify your actions? Saving me?" The woman giggled. "You set the fire, you burned me. Saving me? Don't make me laugh!"

"You despicable boy!" Queen Huiyun was furious. "How dare you break into my room and accuse me--" She stopped when she saw the hairpin. How did this girl get it? Isn't it Wen Jinkai's? !

“You forced me into a life of slavery instead of returning me to my family,” the woman said through gritted teeth. “If you hadn’t tried to kill me, there would have been no need to rescue me in the first place.”

Queen Huiyun chuckled, her red lips curled up into a sinister smile. "Little Minghua, you are as naive as ever." She shook her head in disappointment. "Haven't you learned anything in these years in the palace?"

Li Xueyue was completely stunned by this sudden change. Her eyes were wide open, and she covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from breathing. She heard the name loud and clear.

It's been so long, and Li Minghua is still alive?
