"Princess, are you going to harm him too?" Huo Churan asked in a very low voice.
"Huh?" Zhao Zhilan seemed to have caught something. She deliberately changed her expression and then told her two cousins to leave.
After closing the door, she went to Huo Churan's side and whispered, "The Regent... he killed my mother!"
"You still hold a grudge against him!" Huo Churan said. "You wish him dead?"
Unbeknownst to them, both were pulling at their limits.
They all had a place for Lin Mo in their hearts, but for different reasons, none of them became Lin Mo's women.
"Death?" Zhao Zhilan thought for a few seconds. "You've thought about it before, haven't you? You even wished you could kill him with your own hands!"
"Sister Zhilan, he's a good person!" Huo Churan couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out her thoughts, "If he... were to die..."
Zhao Zhilan immediately became interested, but the other party was Huo Minggao's daughter. Having experienced so much, Zhao Zhilan was no longer a blank slate who could easily trust others!
"Isn't the hatred for killing one's mother irreconcilable?" she countered. "If he had killed your father, would you have chosen to forgive him?"
Huo Churan's expression became very complicated. "I don't know!" she said, biting her lip.
"Are you scared? My dear sister, don't be afraid! It's just the two of us here, sisters having a little chat. No one will hurt you!"
"The Regent and his family..." Huo Churan said quietly, "They treat me better than my father!"
Zhao Zhilan narrowed her eyes. "You've fallen in love with him?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Churan trembled!
"I...I don't know!" she stammered. "If I could, I would hope that the Regent would not die...If he dies, there will be no one in the world who will truly care about me."
She suddenly stopped and covered her mouth.
What's wrong with me? God help me, how could I say such things in front of her? Now it's too late to take it back...
“Continue,” Zhao Zhilan urged.
"No, Your Highness, I can't say any more!"
"Oh? Why?" Zhao Zhilan asked, "You are his wife, the Regent's Consort, why can't you say these things?"
"Your Highness, dear sister, please don't force me!"
"Your family wants to harm the Regent?" Zhao Zhilan raised her voice. "Is that right?"
"I don't know, don't force me!" Huo Churan choked up. "They...they just want me to leave, leave the capital, and go back to Liangzhou."
"Return to Liangzhou? What's the reason?"
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Zhao Zhilan suddenly realized, "It's all true!" she muttered to herself.
