Chapter 701: Ruthless Princess Hu <2>
Chapter 701: Ruthless Princess Hu <2>
Princess Hu really wanted her to die.
Despite knowing all of this, Nan Hua's expression didn't change in the slightest bit. She raised the cup and pretended to drink it while pouring the content towards her sleeve. This was a small trick, easily done with this large sleeve.
"What do you think?" Princess Hu was smiling when she saw Nan Hua put down the teacup.
"It's taste good, Your Highness." Nan Hua looked at Princess Hu. Since this princess was so eager to die, Nan Hua didn't mind sending the other party to her early grave. It was just a coincidence that she would be able to make use of the plan that Princess Hu had planned against her to destroy the other party.
"I'm relieved." Princess Hu chuckled.
Princess Mu Fei Xin was looking at the teacup in Nan Hua's hand and felt a bit uncomfortable. However, she was not exactly knowledgeable about medicine. Not to mention, the smell didn't seem to be that different from normal tea in her opinion.
She took a deep breath. "Have your health turned for the better, Imperial Sister Hu?"
Since Princess Mu Fei Xin has become part of the Imperial Family thanks to her marriage with Prince Yang Lu, it was not weird for her to call Princess Hu as sister. Technically speaking, they were sister in law if one disregarded the fact that Princess Hu had different mother than Prince Yang Lu.
"Many thanks for your concern, Imperial Sister Mu. The doctors said that my health has been pretty good lately." Princess Hu smiled.
"That's good to hear. I was worried that Imperial Sister wouldn't be able to recover."
"The doctor's skill is really good." Princess Hu thought for a moment. "Instead, I'm more worried about Imperial Sister Mu. Is it hard to live within the palace most of the time?"
Since the incident in Hai City, Prince Yang Lu and Princess Mu Fei Xin were under house arrest. They were only moved to the Capital City recently, but their activities have been the same as they were tasked to stay within their house.
Their treatment was pretty good and aside from not being able to involve themselves in politics that much, it was actually a good life. Prince Yang Lu also felt relieved for not being under the burden of having to try taking the throne from his brother anymore.
"I have been living well lately. Thank you for your concern, Imperial Sister Hu." Mu Fei Xin smiled faintly without any warmth in her eyes.
"I see." Princess Hu smiled back.
The two of them looked as if they were smiling warmly towards each other, but Nan Hua could sense sparks between the two of them. They didn't mean what they were saying anymore and instead wanted to tear off the mask the other party wore.
That was of course if possible.
After all, the two of them both have images they have to keep. There was no way they could possibly fight in the open area like that.
As a servant walked forward to fill the tea in Princess Hu's teacup, she moved sideways towards Nan Hua. Looking at her slow movement, Nan Hua knew that the maidservant was planning on pouring the tea to her.
She shifted her body slightly.
Splash!
The tea splashed the chair and part of Nan Hua's dress. It was not reaching her skin at all as Nan Hua moved right in time.
"This servant apologizes! This servant didn't do this on purpose!" The servant quickly apologized and even kowtowed to the ground. This excessive apology would make Nan Hua looked like an unreasonable young lady.
However, Nan Hua was merely looking at her stained dress then looked at Princess Hu. She slowly stood up and curtsied towards Princess Hu. "Your Highness, it's unsuitable for me to stay here with wet dress. Allow me to change my clothes."
Her action directly ignored the servants.
The servant was trembling on the ground, confused why Nan Hua didn't follow the script.
If Nan Hua talked to her, it would at least look like she was behaving angrily towards the servant. Even if she tried to suppress her anger and so on. But with Nan Hua directly asking to change her clothes…
This made her look awkward.
Princess Hu's eyes flashed when she looked at Nan Hua in front of her. Even though Nan Hua looked like a sweet little bunny that seemed to be able to be bullied at any moment, Princess Hu felt that this young girl was anything but that.
To be able to react this calmly…
'She's dangerous.'
That was what instinct told Princess Hu. But with her wanting to get something back for her family, Princess Hu naturally wouldn't back down from her revenge plan. She waved her hand.
"Take First Young Miss Nan to the separate quarter to change her clothes."
A maidservant came forward from behind Princess Hu. She curtsied towards Nan Hua. "First Young Miss Nan, please follow me."
Nan Hua nodded and walked around the servant who was kowtowing on the ground. Her movement didn't look like she cared for the servant at all and even disregarded the other party.
Princess Hu looked at the servant on the ground and waved her hand. "Take her back."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The servant was still acting as if she was being wronged and tried to apologize many times. There were many other young ladies who were watching from the side, but they seemed as if they didn't care.
There were a lot of insolent servants.
As noble girls, they had seen more insolent servants than anything else. It was very common for those kind of servants to be disposed of.
Mu Fei Xin's gaze was cold. She stood up. "I'm worried for First Young Miss Nan, so I would like to excuse myself, Imperial Sister Hu."
Princess Hu frowned. "I'll come with you."
If Mu Fei Xin came, her plan would definitely fail. She had to think of a way to distract Mu Fei Xin to make sure that this girl would not be able to hinder what she was planning to do.
