The useless second daughter of the Hua family

As night fell, the temperature seemed to get even colder. We had to install floor heating and burn charcoal in the house to avoid shivering.

Several people gathered together, Hua Miaomiao lay listlessly beside the table, looking towards the door.

Tao Yao asked Bai Lin to stay in the palace while she sneaked into the palace to check.

Hua Miaomiao was actually a little surprised. She had always believed that immortals should not interfere in mortal affairs, so most of the time they were just spectators. But this time Taoyao was particularly concerned, which made her wonder what was in the thundercloud.

The door creaked open and Hua Miaomiao raised her head. After seeing who was coming, she lowered her head back in disappointment.

"It's you, brother."

Seeing the huge difference in her emotions, Ge Qingcheng and Hua Niaoniao's eyes met and they couldn't help but smile.

Ge Qingcheng put the food box he brought on the table, "With Taoyao's ability, don't worry about it. I just met Lin Wei at the door and he brought some food. Come, let's see what kind of midnight snacks this palace has, and we can eat while we wait."

Hua Miaomiao looked at the food that Ge Qingcheng brought, and it turned out to be all the food she loved to eat when she stayed at the palace last time. This regent really cared about her, but it was a pity that he made a mistake from the beginning, and it was not easy to redeem it.

"Sister, have you ever thought about getting to know him? He seems to really love his daughter."

"What? You were bribed by just a few snacks?" Hua Niaoniao joked half-seriously.

"No, I just feel like I stole the love that belongs to you." She seemed to have always been like this, when she was a child and now.

Hua Niaoniao didn't expect Hua Miaomiao to think this way. She never had any illusions about Xiao Zheng, so even if he doted on her, she wouldn't feel envious or jealous.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I never intended to recognize him. Not for my mother, and even more so for my father and brother. You are my family, do you understand?"

Hua Miaomiao nodded. She was really confused. How could such an idea come to her mind?

"So, I don't mind how good he is to you. The more he cares about you, the better it is for us. Just do your best."

Hua Miaomiao was speechless. What did this mean? What did she mean by "do as much as possible"? She decided to turn her grief and anger into food intake.

When Hua Miaomiao finished one plate of pastries and was about to move on to the second one, a hand appeared out of nowhere and stopped her.

"Still eating? It's almost time to sleep. You'll feel uncomfortable again later." Tao Yao appeared and sat next to Hua Miaomiao. I don't know if this girl was starving because of her diet a while ago. Since she got the peach blossom hairpin, she has no self-control. Although it won't cause any problems, she will still feel uncomfortable if she eats too much.

Hua Miaomiao thought of Tao Yao rubbing her belly and lecturing her at night, and her face turned red. She withdrew her hand guiltily and said repeatedly: "No more, no more, let's talk about business first."

Tao Yao rubbed her head lovingly, then told them seriously about what she had seen and heard in the palace.

Something had indeed happened in the palace. The center of the thundercloud was right above the emperor's bedroom. The doors and windows of the bedroom were closed and covered with talismans. Many people gathered outside the room. Judging from their attire, they should be monks from various families. The entire palace was set up with a barrier, so Tao Yao did not go in, so as not to disturb everyone and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Let's go to the palace tomorrow." Hua Miaomiao said. After all, she was Miao Yizhu's beloved, so she would help him if she could.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Now, let's go back to the room and sleep." Tao Yao grabbed Hua Miaomiao's knees, picked her up, and left after signaling to the three people.

The next day, Hua Miaomiao got up early, which was a rare occasion. Everyone packed up and prepared to enter the palace, but Lin Wei, who was guarding outside the door, refused to let them in.

"Before the prince left, he ordered that no one is allowed to leave the palace without his order."

"What does he mean?"

"The prince said that there are enough people in the palace, and we don't need a few of you."

"What about him? Let him tell me himself."

"The prince went to the city to chat with old friends."

"What are you talking about? Those guys are traitors."

"Only those my prince is willing to acknowledge can be the emperor. The current little emperor is too disobedient, it's time to give him a beating."

Hua Miaomiao discovered that everyone in this palace, from top to bottom, was a little crazy at heart.

"You're not going to let us out today no matter what, right?"

"They can, but you can't."

"You!" Hua Miaomiao stamped her feet in anger. This Lin Wei was still as stubborn as ever. She really wanted to kick him again.

A carriage stopped at the door, and the person who got off the carriage made Hua Miaomiao see hope all of a sudden.

"Your Highness, you came at the right time. Lin Wei bullied me."

As soon as Hua Miaomiao went up, she started to complain. Lin Wei widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

Ling Lan poked her forehead with a smile, "You naughty girl, I heard your voice from so far away."

Hua Miaomiao chuckled and introduced other people to her.

Ling Lan held Hua Niaoniao's hand, looking a little excited. "You are Niaoniao, you are already this big."

"I heard my mother mention you before. I am very grateful for saving my life."

Ling Lan looked ashamed. They had let down the Wu family. So when Hua Miaomiao's mother asked her to help pass the message, she agreed without much thought. But she didn't expect that she would disappear later.

At that time, Xiao Zheng had not found out the relationship between Wu Chan'er and the Hua family, so she did not dare to write to the Hua family to inquire, for fear of arousing suspicion. For so many years, she did not know whether Wu Chan'er was alive or dead until Hua Miaomiao appeared.

Ge Qingcheng took the opportunity to speak: "Your Highness, we are ordered to come to the imperial city, but this..."

Ling Lan could probably guess what was going on, and she gave them a reassuring look.

"Lin Wei, let him go!"

"Princess, the prince has ordered that Miss Miaomiao not be allowed to participate."

"What does Miaomiao have to do with their report? She just accompanied me to see her uncle. Why did the emperor forbid her to fulfill her filial duty?"

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help laughing out loud, how wonderful!

"Princess..." Lin Wei looked embarrassed.

"Alright, everyone has seen it. It was me who insisted on taking her away. If my brother wants to investigate, let him come to the princess's mansion to find me."

Ling Lan did not argue with him. He pulled Hua Miaomiao into his carriage. The others also got on quickly and headed straight for the palace.

Under the leadership of Ling Lan, several people entered the emperor's bedroom without any hindrance.

The bedroom was silent as if no one was there. The chief eunuch Zhou Changfu was standing by the dragon couch, and the curtains were tightly drawn. As soon as he saw Ling Lan, he came over to greet her.

"Your Highness, these are the masters you mentioned, right?"

"Yes, how is your Majesty today?"

"Alas! It's the same as always. High fever and coma."

"Why don't you see the imperial physician?" Hua Miaomiao asked puzzledly.

Ling Lan and Zhou Changfu both looked embarrassed and hesitant.

Hua Niaoniao asked: "Princess, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"

Ling Lan sighed, as if he had made a decision, and said to the others, "Changfu comes from a medical family, and his medical skills are not inferior to those of the imperial physicians. The emperor's situation is rather special and must be kept strictly confidential, so I did not summon the imperial physician."

Hua Miaomiao was very curious about what special method could make the two of them so cautious.

Ling Lan walked to the bedside and slowly opened the curtains. She saw golden light glittering inside the bed curtains.

Hua Miaomiao could hardly recognize the person on the bed. His skin was metallic, with tiny scales faintly visible on his cheeks and neck. Under his long golden hair, two deer antlers stood out.

"This... this is..." Hua Miaomiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak. If she hadn't been able to vaguely recognize Xiao Ce's appearance, she would have almost thought the person in front of her was a monster.

"This is the transformation of a dragon." Tao Yao explained for her.

"Transform into a dragon?" I've never heard that the True Dragon Emperor has such a true dragon method, and there has never been such a rumor before. Doesn't Miao Yizhui have to have a human-dragon love story in the future?

Among the few people, except Hua Miaomiao who was still daydreaming, the others were now calm except for their initial surprise.

Zhou Changfu looked at the reactions of the others and hope rekindled in his heart. He fell to his knees.

"It's obvious that you are not ordinary people. Please save His Majesty."

He was very excited. After so many days, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Ling Lan helped him up, "Changfu, don't worry, explain the cause and process of the incident to them clearly."
