The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Ge Qingcheng had intended to demonstrate the strength of his Ge family in front of Hua Niaoniao. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. They had just begun their journey when they received news from the capital.

There are strange phenomena in the capital, dark clouds are lingering in the sky, and there has been no sunlight for many days. There are rumors that heavenly punishment is coming, which makes people panic. Now the court summons monks and sorcerers from all walks of life to come to the capital to deal with it together. Because of its special status, the Ge family is also on the summoned list.

The carriage turned around and met the Regent's team on the way to the capital.

Seeing that only Hua Miaomiao got out of the car, Lin Wei couldn't help but say, "This group of people is too arrogant. They knew that the prince was here, but they didn't get out of the car to greet him."

"Forget it. I just wanted to see Miaomiao." It was not worth hurting the relationship between father and daughter over such a trivial matter. Hua Miaomiao was already very repulsed by him.

"What a coincidence, Your Majesty, we meet again." Hua Miaomiao greeted helplessly.

The Regent shook his head and said, "I am waiting for you here on purpose."

When Hua Miaomiao heard this, her smile instantly fell. She could hardly bear this heavy "fatherly love", especially since the real owner was watching her from behind.

The Regent mistakenly thought that Hua Miaomiao didn't want to see him, and he felt sad, but he believed that time would change everything.

He patiently explained: "The situation in the capital is complicated right now, and I must ensure your safety. If you don't come with me, then I can only follow and protect you."

Hua Miaomiao said nonchalantly: "Prince, have you forgotten what our Hua family does? If we can't handle it, what can you do?"

"You don't understand. What has always been scarier than ghosts and gods is the human heart."

"I know." Hua Miaomiao looked at him meaningfully, her bright eyes full of sarcasm.

The Regent avoided his gaze uncomfortably, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Do you know that the weather in the capital is going to change?"

Hua Miaomiao didn't respond and motioned for him to continue.

"The spies reported that the little emperor is ill and has not attended court for nearly half a month."

"Is it related to this strange phenomenon from the sky?"

"That's not important. What's important is that someone took this opportunity to lead troops into the capital under the pretext of clearing the emperor's entourage, removing treacherous officials, and protecting the Way of Heaven."

"The prince is coming to Beijing?" Hua Miaomiao exclaimed. This was no small matter.

"If they act quickly enough, their army should be on the march soon."

"You don't seem worried at all. You should be the treacherous minister they want to get rid of." Hua Miaomiao thought to himself, he was the one who used force to suppress the rebellion and drove all the princes out of the imperial city. If he loses power, won't he be trampled to death?

The Regent felt a little relieved. "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, they are not capable of that yet."

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but complain in her heart: How arrogant.

"Aren't you going to rescue the emperor?"

"It doesn't matter to me who becomes the emperor, why should I worry about it? Or do you, Miaomiao, want me to go?"

To be honest, considering the relationship between the emperor and Miao Yizhu, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to the emperor. But would the regent listen to her in this matter?

"As for me, I'm more in favor of orthodoxy. Besides, didn't you pick him yourself?"

She said this skillfully, and the Regent immediately understood what she meant, but he continued to play dumb with her.

"We chose him because he was obedient and sensible, but who knew he would become so rebellious when he grew up."

Hua Miaomiao's eyes widened. Rebellion? He called that rebellion? He helped someone to that position, gave him supreme power, but he always suppressed him. Who could accept this?

Instead of this, he might as well inherit the throne himself. Hua Miaomiao didn't understand. He was obviously the most legitimate one. He was the crown prince appointed by the previous emperor. For that position, he did not hesitate to destroy the Wu family, but why did he let go so easily in the end?

"Why don't you become emperor yourself?"

"It's impossible for me to be an emperor."

"why?"

"Prefer not to say."

"..."

Hua Miaomiao returned to the car and explained the situation to the others.

"It is not convenient for us to participate in the affairs of the court. After entering Beijing, we must act carefully and be cautious in what we say and do. Do you understand?" Hua Niaoniao asked the last three words to Hua Miaomiao.

Hua Miaomiao raised her right hand and swore, promising that she would never cause trouble and reassure everyone.

The team rushed to the capital day and night, and finally entered the city gate before the vassal soldiers surrounded the city.

As soon as we entered the city gate, we could feel a clear difference. The carriage became darker and the temperature seemed to drop.

As soon as Hua Miaomiao lifted the curtain, a cold wind blew in. The commercial street, which was once bustling and lively, was now sparsely populated. All the vendors and stores were closed, and it was rare to see a passerby, and they were all in a hurry.

"It's so cold, what's going on?"

The Regent rode his horse beside the carriage. When he saw Hua Miaomiao sticking her head out, he pointed at the sky and said to her, "It's probably that black cloud that won't disperse. It's said that it was only over the palace at the beginning and hadn't spread that far."

Hua Miaomiao leaned out half of her body and saw that there was indeed a dark cloud covering the sky above the palace, spreading out from it and getting lighter as she went further out. No wonder those rumors were all related to the royal family. Hua Miaomiao didn't believe that there was no connection at all.

Tao Yao supported her in the car, fearing that she would fall out. The Regent looked at his thoughtful gesture, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. These days, he didn't communicate much with the group of people in the car, but he could see that Ge Qinglan was a caring person. Just be good to Miaomiao, and you can teach the rest slowly.

"Miaomiao, come back when you've seen enough." Hua Niaoniao saw that she had been sticking her butt out for a long time and reminded her.

Hua Miaomiao retreated back into the car and closed the windows. It was already spring, but the temperature here was still like winter. Tao Yao wrapped her in a blanket, and Hua Miaomiao simply snuggled into his arms to keep warm.

"Do you know what that is?"

"That looks like a thundercloud that has experienced a calamity." Bai Lin said hesitantly. He was actually not sure because he had never seen a thundercloud so low.

Tao Yao nodded in agreement with his idea, but as to why it was looming over the imperial palace, she had to go into the palace to find out.

The carriage finally stopped, and several people were stunned when they got off the car. Isn't this the regent's mansion? The coachman shook his head helplessly at them. They were surrounded all the way and had no chance to turn their heads.

Ge Qingcheng bowed politely. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your protection along the way. We are sorry to bother you for now."

After saying this, he was about to lead his men back to the carriage, but was stopped by the guards.

"The city is not safe. I won't force you, but Miaomiao must live in the palace."

Hua Miaomiao turned around and glared at him, "If it's not safe, why are you leading us in?"

"With me here, no matter who attacks, no one dares to touch you." He said calmly.

Hua Miaomiao thought, are you really just going to ignore it and just sit back and watch?

"Besides, you came to the capital to investigate the matter of Black Cloud. Living in the palace will make it more convenient for you to enter and exit the imperial palace." The Regent continued to lobby.

Hua Miaomiao felt that what he said made some sense, but looking at Hua Niao Niao's bad face, she knew that she would definitely not want to go in. So Hua Miaomiao turned to the Regent and said, "The Ge family has a villa in Beijing. We want to go back to our own home and not live in the palace."

"Miao Miao, I'm not discussing with you. You can't leave today. Either they go, or they stay together." He didn't want to be so tough with Hua Miao Miao, but the situation was indeed special now. For her safety, he could only do this.

Hua Niaoniao looked at the people protecting her, and it seemed as if a warm current flowed through her heart, driving away the boredom in her heart.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Hua Niaoniao said, "Stay if you want to. Since the prince is so enthusiastic, we would be disrespectful to refuse."

"Sister?" Hua Miaomiao looked back at her uncertainly.

"It's okay." I'm fine as long as you are here.

"Okay then, let's stay here first. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will definitely take you away."

With the cultivation level of the people present, if they really wanted to leave, who could stop them? If it weren't for the consideration of the order of the three realms, Tao Yao could just wave her hand to get rid of this black cloud...

Hua Miaomiao noticed that Tao Yao had not followed. Turning back, she found that he was looking at the black cloud with a serious expression. No way? Is there anything in this world that he can't handle?

"Taoyao, what are you thinking about?"

"There is dragon energy in that thundercloud."

Hua Miaomiao didn't take it seriously and explained for him: "The emperor of the mortal world is also called the True Dragon Son of Heaven, so it's not surprising that there is dragon energy in the palace."

Tao Yao nodded, holding Hua Miaomiao's hand and entering the palace together.

He knew in his heart that the dragon energy was dispersing and could not be gathered, and he was afraid that something had happened to the emperor.
