Lady Li, however, had no intention of feigning civility.
After all, it was just her, Hua Qingqing, and Hua Manman here. No one else was around.
Even if they said or did something, no one would ever know.
Lady Li dropped the coy and delicate act she usually put on. She stared sinisterly at Hua Qingqing, her eyes filled with venomous hatred.
"Don't think you can soar to great heights just because you spent one night with the Emperor. I've seen plenty of shameless women like you, so desperate to climb into his bed. Not a single one of them met a good end, and you will be no exception."
Hua Qingqing replied, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lady Li Fei. I will keep it in mind."
Her response left Lady Li with the frustrating feeling of punching a wad of cotton, and her heart grew even more stifled.
'Hua Manman knew that given the plot's usual shenanigans, Lady Li was definitely about to do something stupid and get herself killed.'
