The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 119 Bloody Will

Princess Huiling drank tea and heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh... Much more sober, hehe, everyone is here."

"Princess, you are better? How about you eat some fruits?" Hua Qiyue asked quietly.

Princess Huiling squinted her eyes and mumbled. "Fruit? What fruit... is delicious? Oh... what fruit did my sister like?"

Hearing that Princess Huiling mentioned Princess Huizhen, everyone’s expression changed.

From their perspectives, Princess Huiling was not sober yet and was still drunk. Her blush made her seem drunk.

Princess Huiling held Hua Qiyue’s hand, "Hua Qiyue, is that you?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, do you know? I... I had a dream last night. I dreamt of my sister. Guess what did she say?"

Hua Qiyue replied calmly, "What did she say?"

Prince Nan watched the scene quietly.

This woman had conquered challenges after challenges. She never asked for help as she was smart enough herself.

However, as she was too bright and outstanding, many people hated her.

Watching this scene without interfering did not mean that he had a nonchalant attitude, but merely showed his confidence in her. Another great show was starting now that Princess Huiling suddenly said this.

Princess Huiling laughed, a depressed expression on her face. "Sister seemed to be drunk too and sat here with me... I remembered when we stole wine from the palace brewery when we were young... what happy times... However, my sister left me before... In my dreams, my sister told me that... that you murdered her!"

The last sentence made the whole cabin silent.

One could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

Hua Qiyue was still smiling, "Princess, you are drunk, dreams are not real."

The crowd was shocked and curious at the sudden drunk words of Princess Huiling. Normally, what people said after being drunk was true, for she would not be joking with Hua Qiyue after she was drunk.

Yun Shimo sat there quietly. His black clothes made him seem cold as he was as majestic as a king, even when he wasn’t moving.

"No... my sister cried so sadly... she said that she died miserably... Hua Qiyue, my heart hurts... Is this true?"

"Of course not, did you forget that the murderer had his body separated by five horses to commemorate the death of Princess Huizhen. She definitely died peacefully." Hua Qiyue reminded Princess Huiling.

Princess Huiling was stunned as if she had understood something. "Oh... really. but... I just found something for you to see."

Lv Xin and Youshui held their breaths as they were unsure of the game that the Princess was playing.

They were all looking at Princess Huiling. Everyone knew that Princess Huiling had a rivalry with Hua Qiyue, and thus it’s strange that she was sitting next to Hua Qiyue.

"Alright, Princess, what is that?" Hua Qiyue was as quiet as a flower, composed, making Princess Mingzhu and Ouyang Liuer jealous.

"Come... Come inside with me..."

As Princess Huiling talked, she stood up swaying, as the First Prince entered the inner cabin once more.

There are eight inner cabins inside, with Qi Artists guarding it in case of danger.

Hua Qiyue followed Princess Huiling into the inner cabins as she was also unsure of what Princess Huiling wanted to show her.

"It’s so rude for Princess Huiling to say such a thing. Everyone knew that Princess Huizhen died from the hands of Zhou Zhicheng." Ji Jing whispered.

Lv Xin looked inside with worry. "Miss Ji, I don’t know what will happen this time."

"Do not worry, Sister Qiyue is very smart. No one can frame her." Ji Jing became more calm after the show just now.

On the other end, Yun Shimo drank Huangfu Shenglin’s wine.

Huangfu Shenglin sat only on the side of Yun Shimo, talking only to him. From other people’s perspective, the two had a surprisingly good relationship.

"Princess Jinghua was indeed outstanding. However, the more amazing she is, the more hated she will be." Huangfu Shenglin commented. "Prince Nan, you’re interested in her, right?"

Yun Shimo’s dark eyes lit up as he smiled slightly, not answering the question.

Huangfu Shenglin played with the wine cups as he stared at the entrance. "For a woman like the Princess Jinghua that is a genius Qi Artist and an amazing beauty, many will love her."

Yun Shimo paused and glanced at Huangfu Xuan beside him.

Huangfu Xuan sat together with Yun Shimo, being particularly calm tonight.

However, being stared at by Prince Nan made Huangfu Xuan uncomfortable. He snorted with disappointment, "Why are you looking at me, I don’t like her!"

Yun Shimo chuckled, "Dear son of the feudal lord, do you know the catchphrase?"

"What catchphrase?"

"The mouth does not speak the feelings of the heart."

Yun Shimo’s acute observation made Huangfu Xuan counterattack, "Bullshit, since when did Your Highness learn Hua Qiyue’s methods?"

Huangfu Shenglin smiled lightly. When Tianci was brought out of the Magic Beasts Forest, he already knew that Huangfu Xuan loved Hua Qiyue.

Who doesn’t like a woman like this?

If Huangfu Shenglin was allowed to have Hua Qiyue as a concubine, he would be glad to oblige. However, Huangfu Shenglin was slow to feelings and thus did not love her yet.

As they were talking and drinking, a scream came from within. "Agh... Help!"

That was the scream of Princess Huiling. The rest were shocked and rushed immediately. First Prince also rushed out of the toilet to the inner chamber.

First Prince’s escort kicked open the door. Princess Huizhen was sitting on the ground, with her hand on her stomach. Blood was everywhere, making her white shirt red.

Hua Qiyue stood in front of her, slightly stunned but not panicking.

"Sister, what happened?" First Prince rushed to help Princess Huiling despite his discomfort.

"Imperial physician, imperial physician..."

First Prince was so anxious that his expression changed dramatically, "Hua Qiyue, what happened exactly?" "Did you hurt the princess?"

At this time, Yun Shimo and the rest arrived. Most were stupefied. Yun Shimo and Huangfu Shenglin looked at each other, with full understanding of the situation.

"Princess Huiling, what happened?" Hua Mengshi asked in shock. A Qi Artist with common sense asked the First Prince to put Princess Huiling down so she would not be under pressure and lose more strength.

First Prince put Princess Huiling down before realizing that she was holding on to a piece of rice paper with bloody words written on it.

"What is this?" First Prince shouted out surprisingly. "Sister, did Hua Qiyue harm you?"

Princess Huiling looked at Hua Qiyue coldly, with a simmer in her eyes that resembled that of a simmer from hell. It was so old that even the ladies beside her shivered.

"Yes... Brother... Hua Qiyue wanted to snatch my sister’s bloody will. I refused to give it to her and thus she wanted to kill me..."

Princess Huiling did not forget to blame Hua Qiyue even amidst her injury.

The rest all looked at Hua Qiyue, with a majority backing off as if Hua Qiyue would charge and hurt them.

Hua Qiyue shook her head in distress at the constant source of trouble.

"Sister Qiyue will not do such a thing!" Hearing that, Ji Jing shouted.

"Shut up! You are in no place to talk now!" First Prince chided her. Ji Jing had to snort unwillingly in reply.

"Hua Qiyue, let me ask you. Is this true?" First Prince asked harshly, his tender feelings towards her completely gone.

That was human nature.

Once a woman became useless to him, he could turn against his enemies at any time.

"Your Highness, Princess Huiling injured herself, and had nothing to do with me." Hua Qiyue replied calmly. Her eyes had a magical force that shut even the First Prince out from looking directly at it.

"You are the only one in the same room as the Princess. Who injured her, if not for you?" Looking at the weak Princess Huiling, he was furious.

In one night, he was mildly poisoned due to Hua Qiyue, having an acute stomach ache.

Now, Princess Huiling had become injured. All these incidences were related to Hua Qiyue.

"I have nothing to say if the First Prince don’t believe in me."

Hua Qiyue remained her composure, neither angry nor arrogant.

The First Prince held the rice paper from Princess Huiling over and was shocked at the bloody lines on it. The words were indeed written by Princess Huizhen, detailing how Hua Qiyue led Zhou Zhicheng to meet Miss Wang and how she lured him into hating her and killing her. All were written with concrete details.

"This is my sister’s will... a bloody will! Sister, where did you find this?" First Prince waved the paper in his hand and asked coldly.

Princess Huiling smiled weakly, "Just now... When I came here, someone was following me. The guard apprehended the person and passed this will to me... he said that it was written by my sister and I must... must punish the person who harmed her. That person was a servant that liked my sister, and passed this to me as he was afraid of being killed by Hua Qiyue... First Prince, justice must be served!"

"Actually, I have never believed that Hua Qiyue was such a malicious woman, and thus called her here to ask her. I did not expect her to attempt to destroy the evidence. She wanted to kill me... once I refused her!"

Tears filled the eyes of Princess Huiling, as she spoke sincerely.

"Hua Qiyue, anything else to explain?" First Prince asked but did not wait for Hua Qiyue to answer before commanding. "Come and apprehend this murderer!"

"Your Highness, isn’t it a bit too casual to just listen to this bloody will?" A cold voice interrupted the movement of the guards as Prince Nan walked out. A cold sensation followed his black demeanor.

"Prince Nan, this is a business of the royal family. You need not step in." First Prince stared at Yin Shimo and waved his hand. "Apprehend her!"
