The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao was guarding the palace gate and saw everything that happened outside. She felt sad in her heart.

Seeing Tao Yao carrying Miao Yizhuo in, she hurried forward and placed the person on the small couch in the side room.

"Taoyao, Xiao Ce..."

"I'm afraid he is no longer here." That was thunder from heaven, no mortal could withstand it.

Hua Miaomiao's breath was caught in her throat. She had experienced it and understood the feeling. She didn't want Miao Yizhuo to go through it too.

The sadness on her face made Tao Yao feel distressed. He gently held Hua Miaomiao in his arms and accompanied her silently.

"Is Yizhu going to be okay?"

"She's strong and she's going to be fine."

Hua Miaomiao closed her eyes tiredly. She couldn’t understand how so many unexpected things could have happened in just half a day.

After Taoyao left, the Regent came. They chatted for a while, but nothing went well, so they each found a place to rest.

Hua Miaomiao was a little bored. She stood by the bed and studied the exquisite carvings, thinking that she would have one like this in her own room when she returned home.

She was so absorbed in her research when she suddenly felt a flash of cold light. Zhou Changfu took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed the emperor on the bed.

They were the two closest to the bed at that moment, so she screamed and picked up the glass bottle beside the bed and threw it over.

Zhou Changfu was caught off guard and was hit by the vase, and his body paused for a moment.

This beat gave everyone a chance to react. Hua Niaoniao and Ge Qingcheng rushed over first. Bai Lin sent Hua Miaomiao to Ling Lan, and they joined forces to force Zhou Changfu back.

Seeing that he couldn't get close to the dragon bed, Zhou Changfu turned around and prepared to attack Hua Miaomiao. But before he could touch her, the Regent stabbed him in the chest from behind.

"You're looking for death! Do you think you can touch her?"

The regent looked at him with disdain. He tried to take back his sword, but was grabbed by Zhou Changfu. He seemed to feel no pain, holding the sword with both hands, and stepped back sharply, sticking closely to the other party.

The Regent was forced to retreat. He glared at Zhou Changfu with even greater disgust, and exerted force with his arm to pull out his sword.

Zhou Changfu vomited blood. He turned around to take a look and smiled with relief.

"You lost in the end." He left this world after leaving behind a confusing remark.

"Not good!" Bai Lin remembered what Tao Yao said before she left, and hurried to the bed to check on the emperor. He saw that the blood that splashed on the emperor was absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before everyone had time to observe the emperor's reaction, the regent fell down. He was pale, breathing weakly, and unconscious.

Ling Lan held up the Regent's head and anxiously asked several people: "Why is this happening?"

Hua Niaoniao said with a bad look on her face: "He seems to have been poisoned. That eunuch might be a member of the Wu clan."

"Poisoned?" Ling Lan's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. She held Hua Niaoniao's hand and said, "Can you save him?"

Hua Niaoniao shook her head, "I can't."

"He is your father. Even if you don't like him, you can't just watch him die."

Ling Lan was a little excited. Hua Niaoniao was pinched by her so hard that it hurt, but she did not pry her hand open.

"You misunderstood. My mother only wants to live an ordinary life. How could she let me get involved in these things? I really won't."

Ling Lan regained her senses. She looked at Hua Niaoniao with guilt, knowing in her heart that what she said was true.

"You're right. Sorry, I lost my temper."

Hua Niaoniao stopped talking. She was very conflicted at the moment. The enemy of her and her daughter was finally going to die, but why was she so flustered?

"Don't worry, if it's a Gu, there must be a solution. Didn't Yizhu also get Gu before?"

Hua Miaomiao held her sister's hand to comfort her. Perhaps Hua Niaoniao herself didn't realize it, the worry on her face was too obvious.

Overnight, the capital city was in turmoil.

It is widely rumored that the current emperor is a real dragon who was born into the world. After experiencing the baptism of heavenly calamity, he ascended to heaven. There are countless eyewitnesses on the scene to testify to this.

The True Dragon Emperor displayed his divine power, not only subduing several princes who intended to abdicate, but also placing the Regent who had been controlling the government under house arrest.

After that day, everyone went to the palace. The emperor did not seem to be worried that they would reveal the secret of his identity. He neither detained them nor killed them, nor even stopped them from finding a doctor for the regent.

At the palace, several people discussed that the imperial city had finally been stabilized, and the current regent was in this situation. If they rashly exposed the fake emperor, it would definitely cause civil unrest, which would do more harm than good. It would be better to wait and see what happened.

The Regent was still sleeping, his pulse was getting weaker day by day, Ling Lan stayed by his side every day, fearing that he would pass away quietly. Hua Miaomiao saw her secretly wiping tears several times.

After Miao Yizhu woke up, she wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor as soon as possible. Hua Miaomiao couldn't stop her and could only tell her the truth. Miao Yizhu didn't want to believe it. She was worried about Xiao Ce's situation, but the other party didn't want to see him. After being rejected at the palace gate several times, she finally believed Hua Miaomiao's words. But she still had a little hope. After all, so many magical things happened around her, why couldn't there be a miracle between her and Xiao Ce.

Until the imperial edict from the palace completely shattered her last bit of hope.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Hua Niaoniao, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, is of noble character, intelligent, well-mannered, and quiet. I hereby appoint you as the Empress, and you will succeed me and rule the world together, so that all people can live and work in peace and contentment. I decree this!"

Hua Niaoniao was stunned as if struck by lightning. Why did she seem to not understand what the other party was saying?

"Master Hua, why don't you quickly accept the order?" the eunuch who delivered the order reminded.

Seeing that she was taking no action, Ling Lan had no choice but to answer the phone for her.

Fortunately, the eunuch was quite easy-going. After accepting Ling Lan's reward, he said that he could understand. Anyone would be dizzy with happiness if they were suddenly hit by such a great honor.

As soon as the people in the palace left, Miao Yizhu snatched the imperial edict and repeatedly confirmed the name on it. She couldn't believe that Xiao Ce was really going to marry someone else.

Hua Miaomiao looked at her, then at Hua Niaoniao, not knowing who to comfort first.

Ge Qingcheng held Hua Niaoniao's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, you belong to me, Ge Qingcheng, and I won't let you marry someone else."

"I'm not worried about that. I'm just wondering what conspiracy that evil dragon has." She was not so conceited as to think that the other party fell in love with her at first sight.

It's really a mess with one problem after another!

At night, Miao Yizhui rejected Hua Miaomiao's offer to accompany her. She seemed to have accepted the reality and had calmed down.

Hua Miaomiao was guarding outside the house, listening to the people inside playing "Feng Qiu Huang" over and over again, sighing with infinite regret, saying that it was fate that played such a trick on people.

The next morning, the servant came to report that Miao Yizhui was missing. Hua Miaomiao then felt that she seemed to have let her guard down too early.

Hua Miaomiao and the others searched everywhere for Miao Yizhu, but to no avail. Just when everyone was at a loss, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the hall.

It was the same face, but it had a touch of seductiveness. Especially the pair of bright black eyes, which were lively and bright.

The emperor glanced at everyone in the room and finally stopped his gaze on Tao Yao.

"Your vision has changed a lot." The beautiful eyes paused on Hua Miaomiao for a moment.

Hua Miaomiao could tell that he was mocking her. Just as she was about to retort, she felt Tao Yao squeeze her hand, trying to comfort her. Never mind, she didn't care what others thought.

Tao Yao completely blocked Hua Miaomiao behind her and said to the emperor calmly, "I don't know you."

The emperor snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter. The accounts between you and me will be settled sooner or later."

He looked past Tao Yao and towards Hua Niao Niao, "Are you used to living here? If you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone send it to you. After the wedding, when you enter the palace, you can decide everything."

Hua Niaoniao avoided his gaze uncomfortably. Ge Qingcheng sensed her restraint and reached out to hold her hand, clasping their hands tightly together.

The emperor's eyes turned cold, and he stared at Ge Qingcheng, "Are you planning to rebel?"

Seeing this, Ling Lan immediately stood up and blocked the crowd. "Who are you? Impersonating the emperor is a capital crime!"

"Who can prove that I am a fake? And who would believe a princess without a backer? Sister, for you and your brother to spend your old age in peace, you should be more obedient."
