Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Chenyang was in a depressed mood after getting off the carriage with his father. This morning, he had promised to meet Xueyue, but he never had the time to go, so he was taken to the palace. He sighed tiredly, and today's tasks were overwhelming him. The battle was almost over. The person who could end this argument was none other than...

"Brother Chen!" Li Xueyue called out happily when she saw him enter the room. When she saw him, her eyes lit up and she rushed over to greet him.

Li Chenyang's smile was bittersweet. Let her come out at such a good time. He patted her cheek.

"You seem to want to see me all of a sudden lately." Li Chenyang pointed out. "Is it that boring at home?"

"Huh? Not really. I was busy writing a letter to Yu Zhen. Aren't I usually so energetic?" Li Xueyue asked with her head tilted.

"Father." She called with a smile.

Hearing her greeting, King Li Chenyang nodded. "Have you had lunch?"

"Yes, with my mother and Minghua." Li Xueyue replied.

King Li Chenyang raised an eyebrow. He could tell that was only half true. She would most likely sit down to lunch, play with her food, and then run back to her room. He suppressed a sigh. Would it always be like this? The conversation at dinner last night was still echoing in his mind.

Both of his daughters possess the means to destroy each other. The question is how or when they will do it.

Lord Li Chenyang felt that he needed to talk to his daughter Minghua. No scroll was found under her pillow in the palace. His biological daughter, Li Minghua, had lied to him. Not only was he disappointed, but he was not surprised. She had lied to him before, but he trusted her too much to entertain the idea of ​​such a thing happening again.

"Well, go prepare dinner, it will probably be ready soon," said King Li Chenyang. He turned to his son and gave him a hard look.

"Excuse me, I'm going to trouble your mother." King Li Chenyang said as he walked towards the garden.

Li Xueyue watched him disappear into the corridor. She had been avoiding the garden lately because the sight of hydrangeas upset her.

"Xueyue, will you accompany me for a walk? It's near the garden in the opposite direction of where dad is going."

"What do you do?" Li Xueyue asked as Chen Yang walked away. She hurriedly followed him, knowing which side of the garden he was referring to. There were not as many hydrangeas at that place as at the entrance, and Duchess Wang Qixing was always there.

"What do you think of Wuyi?" Li Chenyang asked. When he stepped onto the cobblestone road, he took off his indoor slippers and put on outdoor slippers. He turned around and helped her down the small stairs.

"Well, a new dynasty is beginning here." Li Xueyue replied.

Li Xueyue looked up at his serious expression, wondering what he was going to tell her. Was he worried about something? She bit her lower lip. Was there anything she could do to relieve his stress?

Li Xueyue's eyes fell on the ground, where a large stone led to another entrance to the garden. There, away from their parents, they would undoubtedly relive their youth together.

"Yes, it will soon be very chaotic. There is also a small group of ministers who oppose our rule because the Second and Fourth Princes are useless but still alive."

"I'm suspicious of the Second Prince." Li Xueyue suddenly said. "Hasn't Minghua been secretly guarding him? It's strange that she actually had the chance to run to Daddy. Hasn't the Second Prince been watching her?"

Li Chenyang was confused by her words. Now that he thought about it...she was right. How did Minghua escape from the second prince's clutches? She said that the queen knew a secret that could destroy the Li family. And the queen always vented her dissatisfaction to the second prince...didn't that mean the second prince also knew this secret?

"You are implying that Minghua will betray our family." Li Chenyang said in a low voice.

"No, I just—"

"Don't be so impatient." Li Chenyang comforted her. He stopped and turned to face her. "I am on your side, Xueyue, I always will be."

"You weren't dead when I told you Minghua was still alive," Li Xueyue whispered. "Your lack of trust is really hurtful."

"I'm sorry," Li Chenyang said. "This is unbelievable. I can't comprehend it, not even in my wildest dreams."

Li Xueyue touched her neck and glanced at the side. "Please have more confidence in me."

"From now on, I will. I promise."

Li Xueyue wishes people wouldn't make promises. They are meant to be broken. They always have been.

“But I pointed out the hint because it could cause problems if you say it in front of the wrong people. It sounds like Minghua is in cahoots with our enemy, the Second Prince,” Li Chenyang continued.

"This idea is a bit far-fetched, but seeing how much the Second Prince likes her existence, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true." Li Xueyue said. Her voice was firm and she meant everything she said.

Li Xueyue raised her head. "You said it yourself, the Second Prince has doted on Minghua since she was a child. He must have taken good care of her when Minghua was a palace maid."

She pressed her lips together. "The Second Prince was very protective of Minghua. When I felt Minghua was being 'bullied' by me, the Second Prince complained to the Emperor, and I was punished as a result."

Li Chenyang nodded slowly. He could not forget the fact that Xueyue was randomly summoned to the palace on the day of the massacre. And then she woke up inexplicably in the queen's bedroom? This coincidence was too big to ignore...

"I think you're right." Li Chenyang said. "I'll tell my father about this. We'll keep an eye on the Second Prince's movements and get rid of him if necessary."

Li Chenyang also suspected that the second prince was more than he seemed.

"But other than that." Li Xueyue said. "Why are you asking me about May Day? You looked strange this morning, too. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

A sharp breeze suddenly whistled past them. Li Xueyue's hair flew into her face, stinging her eyes. She brushed a strand of hair back and looked up at him. When their eyes met, a faint smile curved up her lips. She realized that he had been watching her.

Li Chenyang couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked so weak that he couldn't help but want to protect her.

Li Chenyang didn't want to burden her small shoulders. What if the pressure and stress made her collapse? What if the palace politics of Han Jian made her too much to handle?

Li Chenyang finally had a sister who was as sincere as himself. Xueyue brightened up his dull world. She found a place in his stiff heart.

The light in her eyes is blinding. What happens when it fades? What happens when the beacon walks into the shadows? Will she be swallowed by the darkness?

"Won't you stay with me?" The wind blew again, and Li Chenyang whispered.

“Well, what is that?” Li Xueyue asked, covering her ears. She looked up at the sky and found that the clouds had darkened significantly. Was it going to rain soon? This would explain the strong vortex of air flowing past them.

Li Xueyue's lips parted. For a moment, she saw the pain in his eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. So why did he look so depressed?

"Do you want to go to Hanjian?" Li Chenyang suddenly asked her.

Hearing his words, Li Xueyue blinked violently. At first she didn't notice, thinking it was the wind playing tricks on her. But then she saw the fear on his face, the fear of losing her, the fear of not being able to see her - she knew he had heard correctly.

He asked her if she was willing to go to Hanjian. The answer was yes, always. As long as Yu Zhen was there, she would go. No matter where he was, she would go - even to the ends of the earth.

Li Xueyue didn't believe it at first, but now she knows that her destiny is not in Wuyi. It is in Hanjian, where her future seems so dazzling that it dazzles her. In Wuyi, she has nothing but the Li family. If going to Hanjian can relieve them of a little burden, she will jump at the chance. The question is, what do they want her to do there?
