The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Li Li stretched out his index and middle fingers and gently tapped his lips that were broken and bleeding. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

"In this life, you will not be able to escape from my grasp..."

"Chongming, return to the palace!"

At the same time, Hua Ye on the other side rubbed his lips fiercely with the back of his hand, cursing non-stop: "You are really sick! Bah bah bah..."

"Mom, killing him with one knife is already polite. I must cut him into pieces to dispel the hatred in my heart..."

Immediately afterwards, Hua Ye, with his hair standing on end in anger, pushed open the door of his father's study, slammed the table, and then sat down on it.

"Dad, how about we rebel?"

General Hua, who was already frightened by her sudden intrusion, turned even paler after hearing her words.

"Hua Ye, you must never say such things again!" General Hua looked serious and was very puzzled by his daughter's abnormal behavior.

"Treason is a grave crime that will bring punishment upon all nine generations of your clan!"

General Hua paused briefly and then warned in a grave tone, "If this recent round of war were to flare up again, how many innocent lives would be lost! We must not abuse our authority for personal gain!"

"Are you going to sacrifice your daughter's lifelong happiness?"

Hua Ye glared angrily at his father who did nothing and was willing to be inferior to others, and couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

"With your personality, it won't be long before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer tolerate you and eventually divorces you..."

General Hua's black eyes moved flexibly, flashing with a cunning light, as if he had come up with some new idea, and continued speaking.

"Father, I am only a general of Western Chu. Do you really want to rebel and claim the throne? I cannot bear the eternal infamy that will befall me! Moreover, the current emperor is a wise and benevolent monarch..."

"Okay, okay... You're absolutely right. I'll go talk to His Majesty myself!"

Hua Ye no longer insisted, jumped down from the table, and walked towards her boudoir with a heavy face, ignoring his father who was still mumbling behind him.

"Ye'er, there are some things that are beyond your control. Born in this imperial family, you can only let your Majesty decide your life, death, and wealth. I hope that in your next life you will be born in the martial arts world, where you can settle grudges and travel the world with your sword..."

Hua Ye broke into the palace at night and knelt in front of the Chengqian Palace. There was no star in the night sky, and a strong wind suddenly blew her light figure, making her seem to be on the verge of falling.

It was cold at night, so she used her inner strength to wrap her whole body. Hot white steam rose from her thin robe. After kneeling for an hour, her body was much warmer.

But the sky was not kind. A bright flash of lightning flashed across the night sky. Before the thunder roared, heavy rain fell, soaking her to the bone.

His Majesty was awakened by a thunderclap. He called softly, "Old Yu, pour me a cup of hot tea to warm myself up. It's quite chilly tonight."

Chief Steward Yu hurriedly took a cup of hot tea from the palace maid, carefully probed it with a silver needle, and after confirming that there was no change in color, he carefully handed it to His Majesty.

He said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

His Majesty rubbed his brows and drank a few sips of hot tea, finally driving away some of his sleepiness, and said impatiently.

"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate, otherwise leave immediately!"

Steward Yu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, General Hua's daughter Hua Ye has been kneeling outside the palace for over two hours, and it's raining heavily now. I'm worried that the future Crown Princess won't be able to bear it."

His Majesty frowned and muttered to himself, "Why is Hua Ye so stubborn?"

He was silent for a moment, then ordered, "Send someone to summon the Crown Prince and have him handle this matter. How can a grown man who can't even handle a woman be the crown prince of a country?"

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling Manager Yu to do it quickly.

Chief Steward Yu quickly bowed in response, then turned around and arranged for the palace maid to summon the prince.

Steward Yu sighed secretly, hoping that the prince could successfully resolve this farce and not cause His Majesty any more trouble.

At the same time, he was silently praying in his heart that Miss Hua Ye was in good health. After all, she was the future Crown Princess. If something unexpected happened, the entire palace would probably fall into chaos.
