The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Tao Yao gently pushed open the door, and a strong wind blew in his face. His eyes focused, and he quickly raised his arm to steadily catch the cup that Hua Miaomiao threw at him, and carefully put it back on the table.

"This is a top-grade glass cup. If it breaks, you will definitely be heartbroken." Tao Yao said softly.

"Hmph!" Hua Miaomiao snorted coldly, turned her head to the side, and kept muttering: "No man is reliable. You can't count on any of them when something happens!"

The more Hua Miaomiao thought about it, the angrier she became. Seeing that Tao Yao took no time to come and comfort her, she felt more and more aggrieved and tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

"Why are you still crying, ancestor? Stop crying. I would feel bad if you get sick from anger." Tao Yao coaxed gently.

"You just know how to coax me! Then tell me how we should deal with it next?" Hua Miaomiao asked with a pout.

"Don't be anxious, I'm here." Tao Yao held Hua Miaomiao's hand tightly and comforted her patiently.

Hua Miaomiao gazed at Tao Yao, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"Why do you think this prince insisted on taking my sister away?" Hua Miaomiao frowned, her tone clearly filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.

"I don't think this may be a bad thing." Tao Yao said softly.

"What do you mean?" Hua Miaomiao turned her head and stared at Tao Yao with wide eyes, her face full of confusion.

"I heard that even the current emperor cannot interfere with that place."

"What if he plays dirty tricks? After all, he is not a human being." Hua Miaomiao was still worried.

"So, did you see Bai Lin today?" Tao Yao lowered her voice, looking a little mysterious.

After he reminded her, Hua Miaomiao suddenly realized what was going on. She slapped her forehead and said, "Yes! I don't think I've seen Bai Lin today. Could it be that he went to guard Li Luo?"

Tao Yao nodded: "As long as he takes action, we can counterattack immediately."

"Okay, I was wrong about you." Hua Miaomiao looked at Tao Yao with a little apology.

Tao Yao smiled and patted Hua Miaomiao on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "You, if you encounter any problems in the future, you must trust me unconditionally. Even if you have doubts in your heart, you must give me a chance to explain first, understand?"

"Yeah, I get it. I promise I won't do this again." Hua Miaomiao nodded quickly in response.

"By the way, what is the condition of the Regent?" Hua Miaomiao thought of this and asked hurriedly.

"I really know very little about matters related to poison. But in my opinion, his physical condition is much worse than before, and I'm afraid his situation is not good." Tao Yao said slowly.

Hua Miaomiao frowned after hearing this. Tao Yao asked, "Why? Are you worried about that person?"

"Alas, how can I put it... There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. Not only did he harm my aunt, he also destroyed our Hua family's old house. To be honest, I hate him. But do you know? Princess Ling Lan said that Xiao Zheng didn't actually participate in the encirclement and suppression. Initially, he planned to lure the remaining forces of the Wu family to the capital, but later he regretted it and fell in love with the Wu family's saint. Later, the news accidentally leaked out, and in order to protect my aunt, he had no choice but to abandon those members of the Wu family."

"So, does your sister know about these things?"

"I know, but so what? In any case, it is an indisputable fact that he hurt my aunt, and causing the murder of her people is an outcome that cannot be changed."

"Don't you think you're putting yourself too deeply into this? It's not your business in the first place, so let them make their own decision."

With Tao Yao's guidance, Hua Miaomiao finally calmed down, but when she woke up, a sudden visitor broke the peace again.

"Hey, you are the king of a country now, don't you understand the difference between men and women?" Hua Miaomiao glared at the uninvited person in front of her and said unhappily.

Unexpectedly, Li Luo was even more rude than her. He looked Hua Miaomiao straight in the eye and asked, "You don't want your sister to enter the palace, so you are willing to watch her being executed by the Regent?"

"Are you still asleep?" Hua Miaomiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. "What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?"

"Now the entire capital is covered with notices, which clearly state that Hua Niaoniao attempted to murder the Regent and has been detained and will be executed soon. If you don't believe it, you can go out and see for yourself!"

Hua Miaomiao was stunned on the spot. She had just taken a nap, how did things turn out like this?

At this moment, Tao Yao, who had sensed something was wrong with the barrier, rushed in. He had just heard what had happened outside the door, so he asked Li Luo directly, "Aren't you the emperor now? Why don't you go save her?"

Li Luo's eyes widened, filled with anger. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? In order to force me, you even sacrificed Hua Niaoniao's life, right?"

Facing Li Luo's questioning, Tao Yao just smiled and replied: "Do I need to explain to you?"

"Okay, that's great! Since you are so cold-blooded, don't blame me." Li Luo gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

As soon as Li Luo left, Hua Miaomiao ran towards the Regent's room like an arrow.

As soon as she stepped into the room, a strong and disgusting smell of blood hit her in the face. Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself: Could it be that the regent's poison has taken effect again?

As expected, the regent's face was as pale as paper, leaning on the pillow, with an expression of great pain. The maid beside him was carefully helping him rinse his mouth.

Seeing the Regent in such a state, Hua Miaomiao's anger instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a trace of pity.

The Regent King perked up, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Why are you two here?"

Hua Miaomiao hesitated and asked the regent tentatively, "You are the one who issued the notice to execute my sister?"

Upon hearing this, the Regent frowned, "Where did you hear this? I have repeatedly ordered that the news in the palace be kept secret. Which servant was the one who said that?"

Hua Miaomiao's eyes widened and she asked angrily, "This is actually true! What on earth do you want to do?"

"You don't have to worry. I will never really hurt her." The Regent explained weakly.

Hua Miaomiao fell into deep thought, pondering the regent's words carefully. In a moment, she suddenly realized, "Are you trying to use this to force my aunt to show up?"

The Regent nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Miao Miao, I'm afraid I don't have much time left. Before I die, I only hope to see her again..." The Regent's voice was filled with endless sorrow and attachment.

"You..." Hua Miaomiao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"I'm a little tired. You can leave first." The Regent waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Hua Miaomiao and Tao Yao looked at each other, turned around and left the room.

"I didn't expect that he had such deep feelings for my aunt, but this will only make the gap between them even deeper." Hua Miaomiao sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if I should tell him the truth?"

Tao Yao shook her head. "One knows whether the water is hot or cold after drinking it. This is not something you can decide. Why do you have to worry about it?"

Hua Miaomiao realized that she had gotten herself into trouble again and hit her head in frustration.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a sound of fighting. They hurriedly followed the sound, only to find that Ge Qingcheng had an argument with the guards at the gate.

Ge Qingcheng was clamoring to leave the palace, so the guards naturally refused to let him go. Seeing this, Tao Yao hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Brother, don't be impulsive!"

"They want to execute Niao Niao. How can I not be impulsive?"

"Please don't embarrass us. The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the palace."

The two sides were deadlocked, and Hua Miaomiao suddenly had an idea and whispered something in Tao Yao's ear. "Please take care of my brother. I'm going to find Princess Linglan." After that, she left quickly.

Tao Yao stood in front of Ge Qingcheng to prevent the two sides from clashing again. Suddenly, he remembered something he had overlooked, "How did my brother know this news?"

"Li Luo told me."

Hearing the words "Li Luo", Tao Yao couldn't help but frowned slightly, puzzled. Didn't Li Luo already leave? Did he pretend to leave before and hide in the palace?

Tao Yao knew something was wrong, and when he rushed over, Hua Miaomiao was nowhere to be seen.
