Chapter 180
180 What are you doing
Liu Hui Ying looked at the woman who was acting all proud and fussy in front of her, a part of her did not care because the woman who was sitting in front of her was a young woman of only sixteen there was no need for her to get angry with her but the Emperor...he was another case. She had a very good idea as to why the Emperor accepted this Liu Fei Fei in his palace and even pretended to dote on her.
Just like every other scheme of his, he most probably wanted to use this woman against her as well or maybe the woman whose body she was residing and from what she could see, this woman was most probably used to bullying the previous Liu Hui Ying, there was this glint in her eyes.
That confident glint, one that she was used to seeing from every other bully who liked to bully her when she was in the school all because she was an orphan, without someone to back her up.
And Liu Hui Ying hated people like her, the most.
” I don’t know about courtyards and jewels but I do know that the Emperor likes to come and see me every now and then,” Liu Hui Ying said in a calm voice as she looked at Liu Fei Fei with a smile playing on her lips since the Emperor wanted to use this woman, she was going to use him against her. ” Do I need to care about petty things like the courtyard and jewels when I have the ruler of the country in my hands?”
Liu Hui Ying snapped straight at one nerve that caused the most harm to Liu Fei Fei. It was true that the Emperor gifted her all those jewels and courtyards but he has never once visited her, she has heard from her maid that the Emperor would go to see Liu Hui Ying every now and then but he would never come to her.
For so many weeks she has waited and waited for him to come and see her but he hasn’t done that, not for once and she could not understand why he was doing something like this to her. If he adored her then why doesn’t he come and see her and if he did not adore her then why did he gift all those things to her? It was confusing and simply beyond her understanding, she wanted to understand what was going on in the head of the Emperor but Liu Fei Fei knew that she was not smart enough to do that, if she was then she wouldn’t be stuck in this place as just a concubine.
” You speak a bit too confidently, Hui Ying,” Liu Fei Fei replied even though her heart was in pain she was still smiling on the surface because this was not the first time she has been disregarded by someone, her father did the same thing every time she went home or ever since she went to his home. ” You seem to have forgotten that the Emperor has a childhood sweetheart, you will never get closer to that woman’s place in the heart of the Emperor.”
” Do I have to?” In response to Liu Fei Fei’s words, Liu Hui Ying looked at her with a confident smile and took the tea from the hands of Qui Ai and said in a soft and mocking voice, ” I just need to surpass her spot in the heart of the Emperor, and you know what, I am very good at snatching.” She lowered her voice dramatically with a sinister devil-like smile on her face, her eyes shining with malice as she added, ” I can even snatch someone’s life if that is what I want, you know that right?”
.....
Liu Fei Fei stiffened when she heard Liu Hui Ying’s words, she seemed to have forgotten that Liu Hui Ying was a woman who was willing to kill the maid who tried to scheme against her but now that she was reminded of that incident she threw in the back of her head, fear seemed to be crawling back up her spine as she got up from the cushion on which she was sitting and then hurriedly said, ” There is something that I need to do.” ‘
And after that she did not even look behind before she turned around and left the room, Liu Hui Ying watched her leave and scoffed derisively before taking another sip of her tea. She was someone who has seen the worst in people, was there any need for her to even fight with someone like Liu Fei Fei who did not even know that someone who was standing by her side was worse than she can ever imagine?
” That woman...she is dying, isn’t she?” Grandma Lan Fen did find Liu Fei Fei a bit disrespectful but the idea of someone as young as her dying did not seem like a nice thing to her.
” Why are you feeling sorry for her?” Liu Hui Ying asked Grandma Lan Fen using her powers such that Qui Ai would not hear anything.
” I just feel that it is too soon for a young woman like her to die,” Grandma Lan Fen answered, she would have liked Liu Hui Ying to help Liu Fei Fei but she knew that Liu Hui Ying could not save Liu Fei Fei given that it was too late. That woman was beyond the point of saving and even if they tried to pull her away from the doors of death, they will only enrage those who have already written the fate of that woman.
Liu Hui Ying blankly looked at the door that was closed and placed the teacup in her hand on the table as she hummed. ” You are right, that is indeed a pity but you need to understand that there is nothing that we can do about it, after all just how many people die every day? We can’t save everyone just because it is a pity.”
