The Regent scoffed. All the losers he had encountered were exactly like Gan Qiongying now, ultimately unable to do anything but go crazy and spout threats.
They might even say things like, "I'll haunt you even as a ghost..." Hahahaha.
If there truly is cause and effect in this world, then that is a matter for the next life.
“You will definitely regret what you have done…” Gan Qiongying’s eyes were like two raging flames, staring intently at the Regent.
The regent merely shook his magnificent robes, his handsome face filled with mockery.
"I advise you to behave yourself. Do you know how I get that little thing to obediently go back into the cage every time?"
"Hahahaha... I just need to lie to him and say that Princess Duanrong is in trouble, that Princess Duanrong has caused trouble again, and that only I can handle it."
“He would obediently crawl in like a dog. If I told him to call out, he would call out. If I told him to crawl all over the place, he would crawl all over the place.”
"This time too...didn't he tell you?"
“When you and your good prince consort were out for a picnic in the countryside, I told him… I said I’d captured you, and if he refused to crawl into the box full of goose worms, I would put you in!”
"He was terrified. He even sent people outside to check, but you weren't at the princess's residence! Hahahaha..."
“My men only slightly hindered his men from going to Qingshan Temple, and he panicked.”
"He didn't even have time to wait for you to come back and make sure you were safe; he climbed into the box like a dog."
"He stayed inside all night. After he stopped taking his medication, his voice didn't sound as good as before... tsk."
Gan Qiongying had no expression at this point.
She sat on the ground, though she had imagined it in her mind, and even while imagining it, she was already certain that Gan Lin must have been bullied by the Regent because of her.
But after hearing the whole story, Gan Qiongying felt she didn't even have the right to shed tears.
Gan Qiongying has no right to shed tears until she has made the Regent suffer a fate worse than death.
But the play still had to be performed, and performed well. Gan Qiongying stumbled to her feet and rushed to the Regent again, tearing at his clothes helplessly.
He roared that the regent would surely be punished.
The Regent's smile grew wider and wider. Gan Qiongying's reactions were exactly what he had expected. How could someone like her frighten the Empress Dowager? He really wanted to let the Empress Dowager see for herself that Princess Duanrong was nothing special.
Finally, the Regent pushed Gan Qiongying away once more, shook his robes, and turned to leave, his back view radiating pure joy.
Everything was back under his control.
After the Regent's carriage sped away, Gan Qiongying continued to struggle until she was sure that the Regent's carriage was completely far away and no one would come back.
Gan Qiongying slowly stood up straight.
She brushed aside the full moon that was supporting her and said to Chen Wa, "Put away your weapons. If you fight with the Regent's men now, it will only lead to your whole family's demise."
Chen Wa was startled by Gan Qiongying's sudden change of expression. Gan Qiongying rubbed her face and wiped away all the tear stains.
The heartache showed no signs of abating, and she was even having some difficulty walking. But she took two deep breaths, patted her face, and walked step by step toward the carriage.
She can't go crazy.
She's not going to go crazy.
She would do as she said, making the Regent wish he were dead, letting him taste all the pain he had inflicted on Ganlin all along.
Gan Qiongying sat back in the carriage, and before returning to the princess's residence, she had already adjusted herself back to normal.
Aside from looking a little tired, she had even tidied her hair up.
As Gan Qiongying alighted from her carriage, Li Hua's carriage was also heading towards the Princess's residence.
He left on horseback, but returned in a carriage because he brought two other people with him.
With Manyue's help, Gan Qiongying got off the carriage and saw Li Hua and the others coming. She stood at the door and smiled in the direction of Li Hua's carriage.
Although the smile looked very fake, it was the best Gan Qiongying could manage at the moment.
Li Hua's carriage stopped at the entrance of the princess's residence. When Li Hua got out of the carriage, his expression was as usual, even with a slight smile, because Gan Qiongying had returned.
But when he got to Gan Qiongying's side, he saw her face and the mess in her eyes.
Li Hua's expression immediately darkened, and she grabbed Gan Qiongying's hand, asking her, "What happened in the palace?"
Why do you look so pale? Are you injured? Who hurt you?
Li Hua asked several questions in a row, and before Gan Qiongying could even speak, tears began to fall.
She disguised herself so well, she even looked in the mirror, how did Li Hua manage to see through Gan Qiongying's act at a glance?
"Don't cry..." Li Hua reached out and wiped away Gan Qiongying's tears with her sleeve.
He reached out and put his arm around Gan Qiongying, saying, "No matter what happens, I'm here. This isn't the place to talk, let's go back to the mansion."
Gan Qiongying returned home half-hanging on Li Hua's back. She already had a rough idea of what to do, but she was completely exhausted.
She couldn't imagine... she couldn't even imagine what she was doing when the Regent was tormenting Gan Lin.
Gan Qiongying felt completely drained, emptied out by grief.
No matter how hard she tried to hold on, no matter how much she had thought of ways to get revenge, the deed still happened.
She didn't even dare to face Gan Lin.
"Tell me what happened." The two returned to the main courtyard, where Gan Qiongying was helped by Li Hua to sit on the chaise longue.
Li Hua knelt directly in front of Gan Qiongying. His leg was not in good condition; his left leg, which was bound with straps, could not bend significantly, so he was kneeling in a half-kneeling position.
Looking up at Gan Qiongying, who always kept her head down as if her neck had been cut off, he saw her from below.
Gan Qiongying met Li Hua's concerned gaze. She didn't know how terrifying the pain in her eyes was at that moment. She just felt as if all the bones in her body had been taken away after seeing Li Hua.
She opened her arms and hugged Li Hua, pressing all her weight onto him.
She said to Li Hua, "My heart hurts so much."
Gan Qiongying said, "It really hurts... I can hardly breathe."
"Please save me...please save me..."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'll go get the doctor right away, and I'll have Sanjiu bring Buli over..."
Gan Qiongying, however, held tightly to Li Hua's clothes, not letting him leave her.
Besides constantly crying out in pain, tears streamed down Li Hua's neck like a flood.
Li Hua's legs ached as he knelt on the ground, feeling like they were being pricked with needles, while Gan Qiongying kept nuzzling into his arms like a little pig.
Finally, Li Hua could no longer kneel and fell to the ground, while Gan Qiongying fell directly into his arms.
"It hurts..." Gan Qiongying was still crying out.
Li Hua felt her heart begin to ache.
I'm heartbroken.
He lowered his head and kissed Gan Qiongying's face and forehead.
Sensing Gan Qiongying's emotional breakdown, he didn't rush to force her to say anything, but simply kept kissing her.
He kept telling her, "It's okay, it's okay... no matter what happens, it's okay."
"I will help you."
"I'm here for you."
