The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye lay on the soft and comfortable bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The endless darkness was gradually replaced by the morning light.

She sat up suddenly, quickly put on the bright scarlet robe, a black lining underneath, and tied the soft sword at her waist.

Then she put on her black boots and carefully opened the door in the faint moonlight before dawn.

She was agile and quick, and she easily climbed over the wall of the East Palace's villa and found the palace where Li Li was resting with ease.

Just as she stepped into Li Li's bedroom in the dark, the candles around her suddenly lit up at the same time, instantly illuminating the entire bedroom.

Li Li was wearing a loose pure white inner garment and a thin white chiffon shirt on the outside, sitting leisurely on a high couch.

Li Li looked down with his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and there was sticky love in his pupils, as if it was growing on Hua Ye.

"Have I been waiting for you for a long time?"

"Oh, really? Your Highness, aren't you really afraid that I'll die in that sedan chair?"

Hua Ye raised his head and met his burning gaze without looking away, folding his arms across his chest and speaking expressionlessly.

"Miss Hua, if you're willing to bear the suffering of your parents, both old and young, then it's not impossible!"

Li Li spoke condescendingly, as if he had thought of all the countermeasures.

His inner garment was slightly open, revealing his strong and sturdy chest muscles. He picked up the bedside tea with his slender white fingers and drank the already cold tea in one gulp, trying to suppress his inner uneasiness.

"Oh, you're not afraid of my father rebelling? And I can kill you first!"

Hua Ye's eyes widened in anger as she spoke through gritted teeth. As she spoke, she quickly drew the soft sword from her waist. With a flick of her wrist, the sword flashed like a venomous snake and stabbed straight at Li Li, who was sitting upright on the high couch.

Li Li remained calm, sitting steadily, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Hua Ye, are you sure you have the ability to kill me?"

She smiled lightly, as if she had already expected the other party to do this.

At this moment, many masked guards suddenly appeared from the shadows behind the candlelight. They were agile and appeared silently in all directions, surrounding Hua Ye.

Each of these secret guards had sharp eyes and held sharp blades in their hands. Just the way they were ready to strike and at ease made people feel an invisible pressure. It was obvious that their martial arts were far superior to Hua Ye's.

Hua Ye was startled and secretly looked at the enemies around her. She gripped the soft sword tightly in her hand, and a thin layer of sweat could not help oozing out of her palm.

Faced with so many powerful opponents, she knew that if she started fighting today, she would probably have a hard time getting away.

However, despite the unfavorable situation, Hua Ye still refused to give in.

She stared at Li Li with wide eyes and roared, "It seems that His Highness has really put a lot of effort into this little girl! He even arranged so many experts to wait here."

He looked at Hua Ye coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"I am well aware of your bold love and hate. This is not because I am afraid that you will be doomed to fail, but because I have made plans in advance. I am simply devoted to you. Why are you resisting so much?"

After hearing this, Hua Ye snorted coldly, put the soft sword back to his waist, his eyes full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

"Okay, you're so cruel! But we'll see. One day I'll make you pay the price!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and strode away, leaving behind Li Li, who looked smug and worried, and the group of secret guards who were on high alert.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn and dignified. Civil and military officials were arranged in an orderly manner, with civil officials on the left and military officials on the right.

They wore gorgeous and unique official uniforms covered with exquisite striped patterns, but the overall style remained consistent, appearing solemn and majestic.

However, Hua Ye was the only one who stood out. She wore a vibrant red and black robe, and exuded an undisguised hostility.

His gaze went straight to the magnificent dragon throne, fixed on the emperor sitting on it.

"I used to think that His Majesty was quite adorable, like a child, but in this life, why is he so disgusting?"

Hua Ye muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

At the morning court, which was already full of debate, the ministers expressed their opinions one after another.

But the emperor suddenly flew into a rage, and the entire court fell silent. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Enough! My dear ministers, stop arguing!"

Thus, this heated debate came to a hasty end, ending this tiring morning court session early.
