Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

After the meeting, Yu Zhen left without looking back.

Yu Zhen had wanted to write Li Xueyue one more letter, but couldn’t decide whether to sneak off to Wuyi or stay in Hanjian. Why hadn’t she replied to his letter? Had they even contacted her? Was he going to shoot the messenger?

Hu Dengxiao hurriedly caught up with the prince. When the atmosphere around him became lifeless, he let out a slight scream.

Even from a distance, he could see the dissatisfaction on Yu Zhen's face. What went wrong? Wasn't the result of today's court exactly what the prince wanted? What made his Zhenzhen so unhappy?

"Zhenzhen?" Hu Dengxiao spoke when no one could hear him anymore.

Hu Dengxiao looked around and found that the only people with them were guards. Some stood in plain sight, while others hid in the shadows. Only the best were allowed to guard the prince.

It was a bit strange that such a large palace was so empty, but he thought Yu Zhen liked it this way. Besides, it was dangerous to have too many ears around. Who dared to say that servants were not spies?

Hu Dengxiao also knew how much Yu Zhen despised being followed. That was why he did not allow servants and eunuchs to accompany him, no matter how useful they were.

"Your Highness." Hu Dengxiao said after realizing that he was ignored for the first time.

"Kill that useless messenger." Yu Zhen suddenly ordered.

"But, but..." The prince finally turned around. Hu Dengxiao took a few steps back, his eyes full of anger and hatred.

"Why?" Hu Dengxiao asked, but his own question sounded strange to him.

If his position had not changed from military advisor to counselor, Hu Dengxiao would not have questioned the prince's decision, but now he had no choice.

Hu Dengxiao must be a fair and impartial advisor. He does not want to condone Yu Zhen's tyrannical behavior... although it may be fun.

"I have sent several letters, but she hasn't replied." Yu Zhen said gritting her teeth.

Yu Zhen was unwilling to accept any other explanation except that the messenger had failed. Otherwise, why didn't she reply?

Hu Dengxiao scratched the back of his neck, thinking about how to answer. Sympathy was not his forte.

In fact, Hu Dengxiao wanted to agree to Yu Zhen's order readily. He sincerely wished Lu Tianbi was here. She would provide the best advice to prevent bloodshed. It was a pity that she was stuck in finalizing the peace treaty documents.

"Well, Your Highness, have you ever considered that perhaps these letters were withheld from her? You mentioned that the Li family needed time. I think the courier has done enough, since he always delivers the letters as soon as possible. "Give it to him."

Yu Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Impossible, they would not hide these letters, especially after accepting the political marriage proposal. Xueyue's reputation in Han will be improved because of my words."

"Yes, Your Highness is right. However, Prime Minister Wuyi is notoriously cunning. What if he waits until you have made clear your decision on the peace treaty before handing the letter to Princess Li?"

Yu Zhen thought about it. This is a great possibility. The prime minister could have kept the letters until it became useful. He gritted his teeth. What a frustrating father.

"Let's give Princess Rei another week to respond. If she doesn't, then we will punish the messenger as you see fit."

Yu Zhen's face was gloomy. It was a good idea, but why should he spare the messenger's life? He could set a good example from an incompetent servant.

Hu Dengxiao decided to change the subject quickly. The blood was flowing so fast, Lu Tianbi would definitely be angry.

"Zhenzhen, do you know?" Hu Dengxiao said. "Princess Li is being guarded like a national treasure in Wuyi, and everything about her past is hidden."

Yu Zhen wasn’t surprised. Her illegal status would certainly tarnish her reputation. He believed her story more than anyone else, but that didn’t mean others would be so kind. Frankly, he didn’t care what outsiders thought.

In the end, Yu Zhen always manages to shut them up.

Seeing that Yu Zhen did not object to the new topic about Li Xueyue, Hu Dengxiao quickly continued.

"I researched her and found something strange," Hu said. "She made her debut in high society only two and a half years ago. It's a strange decision if we consider her age. Most girls would have made their debut at thirteen."

"so?"

Hu Dengxiao wanted to give a longer answer, but he decided to get straight to the point.

Hu Dengxiao shrugged. "It feels like they're hiding some secret or something. Wouldn't a prominent family like the Li family want her to be discovered earlier than most people?"

Yu Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"I mean, if I had a daughter as smart and talented as her, I'd love to show her off, but they don't. It makes me wonder...is she really the daughter of the Li family?" Hu Dengxiao asked.

"My princess's origin has nothing to do with you." Yu Zhen had no expression on his face and spoke in a cold tone. He left almost no room for argument.

Yu Zhen vowed to take Li Xueyue's secret to the grave. He would kill anyone who dared to expose her illegitimate identity. Anyone who had the courage to tarnish her reputation did not need an organ in the first place.

Hu Dengxiao fiddled with his fingers. He made the atmosphere the worst... He pouted silently.

"Zhenzhen, don't be so quick to get angry. I promise not to let others find out her background, okay? If anyone says that she debuted too late, I will tell them an excuse. The Li family is just overprotective of them." Daughter.

Yu Zhen nodded with satisfaction. "Lu Tianbi will need some time." He said. "Go help her."

Hu Dengxiao's expression changed from gloomy to pure excitement. His face lit up as a smile spread across his lips. "Are you serious, Your Highness? Can I go see Tiantian?"

Yu Zhen shook his wrist, like chasing away a loyal dog. Hu Dengxiao might as well wag his tail. This man exudes too much happiness, and this happiness is very contagious.

"Your Highness, you are so nice today. This is why I love you so much, Zhenzhen!" Hu Dengxiao exclaimed. He bowed and said goodbye quickly.

Yu Zhen watched the puppy scampering down the corridor, eager to return to his beloved.

The thought of two lovers together made Yu Zhen's mood turn bad. He had never thought it was possible, but for the first time in his life, he felt lonely.

Yu Zhen was eager to see Li Xueyue. Her simple smile was enough to make him feel full of energy. Whenever she smiled, he couldn't help laughing. How could she possibly bring him so much joy? It should be illegal for her to be so cute.

Yu Zhen sighed softly. He wanted to see her one last time before leaving Wuyi.

He regretted sending Hu Dengxiao to Li's house. He had no choice. It was like this, otherwise their return home would be delayed.

If Yu Zhen had not suddenly rushed in at the last minute, the position of crown prince would have been passed to the eldest prince long ago.

"Do you have to collapse at such a terrible moment?" Yu Zhen muttered, turned around and walked towards the direction of the palace. The corridor was as quiet as ever. A golden palace, but no one came here to appreciate it.
