Villain Lady

Prince Ji Shu smiled when he saw her cute gesture. He felt that he was the luckiest man in the entire kingdom to be able to meet with someone so perfect. No matter what Wei Xiao Hua did, he always felt that she was the best for him.     

"Do you want to enter?" Prince Ji Shu asked and pointed to the main hall.     

Wei Xiao Hua shook her head. "I don't think I'll be able to handle what I'll see if I enter that place."     

She thought that she could act like the real protagonist of the story who was transmigrated as Wei Xiao Hua. After all, the real protagonist also came from the modern world, yet she could adapt to the situation so quickly.     

However, Wei Xiao Hua still felt uneasy when she saw the real battles. She could not get used to the brutal warfare in this place and all. Even though following the novel's route was not that hard in the beginning because Wei Xiao Hua didn't really participate in all of the harshest method. It was getting harder as time passed by because of the brutal ways that Prince Ji Shu did.     

Yet, she couldn't bring herself to stay away from him. While it was true that she always liked the male protagonist from the novel, the real Prince Ji Shu that she met here also made her heart beat faster. It was surreal and astonishing.     

However, she still could never get used to his brutal way of eliminating everyone in his way. Wei Xiao Hua understood that in this man eat man world, she had to be able to face it all because if she couldn't, she would be the one to die without grave.     

For someone who used to live in modern world, the difference in value and way of thinking could be a bit overwhelming.     

'I can't understand how the real Wei Xiao Hua in the novel managed to get used to the life here so quickly. I… miss the modern world.'     

Wei Xiao Hua closed her eyes for a moment, thinking of herself in the modern world. She didn't even know how she managed to enter this world in the first place. All that she could remember was that she was opening WN app in excitement to be able to read the novel again. When she opened her eyes later, she had become Wei Xiao Hua in the novel.     

Slowly, Wei Xiao Hua pulled her head away from Prince Ji Shu. She smiled brightly. "Go and finish what you have to do. I'll go visit the Empress."     

"Take care, Xiao Hua." Prince Ji Shu leaned in and planted a kiss on Wei Xiao Hua's forehead. He didn't want to leave her, but he knew that he had to finish everything first. Other matters have to be pushed to the back for later.     

Wei Xiao Hua watched as Prince Ji Shu walked to the hall. Whatever happened there, she didn't want to see it. The real Wei Xiao Hua would accompany Prince Ji Shu and watched the mass murder with ease. But she couldn't do that. Even though she had traveled to this kind of world where deaths were common, she couldn't bring herself to watch everything unfolded.     

'I'll take a look at the Empress.'     

In the novel, the Empress would be captured by her aunt, Baili Lin. Baili Lin was one of the few members from Baili Family who were close with the real Wei Xiao Hua. As for the reason why they were close…     

Bang!     

"You won't be able to get away now."     

The female voice coming from the courtyard pull Wei Xiao Hua's attention. Looking into a distance, she could see Baili Lin stood with her arms crossed. Baili Lin had pale countenance and perfectly sculpted body. However, she had quite the temper and known to be very fierce even in her own household.     

Not far from her, Empress You was standing with her arms held by the soldiers. There was still the same glamorous and proud aura emanating from the Empress, but her appearance had turned haggard. Her hair and clothes were slightly disheveled from her attempt to get away from here.     

"Baili Lin!" the Empress hissed.     

The woman named Baili Lin merely laughed. She shook her head. "Do you think that you can stand on the throne for so long? Unfortunately, it's already the time for you to die."     

Wei Xiao Hua walked over unhurriedly. It was then she noticed another woman standing in a distance, watching everything unfolded without fear in her eyes. It was Imperial Concubine Xu, Prince Ji Shu's birth mother. She didn't seem to be willing to get involved in the battle, but the truth that Wei Xiao Hua knew how much Concubine Xu had been trying to make the Emperor appointed Prince Ji Shu as the crown prince but failed.     

Imperial Concubine Xu was very beautiful. She would not lose to someone who was in their twenties. It was no wonder that the Emperor doted on her so much.     

"Aunt Lin, Mother," Wei Xiao Hua greeted properly.     

Imperial Concubine Xu raised her head and nodded at Wei Xiao Hua. She was not a person who often speak a lot to other people. In front of the crowd, she would be the meek and demure lady. Because of that, it was easy for her to attract other people's attention, including the Emperor.     

The only thing that she lacked was powerful family behind her. Unlike the Empress who had the backing of her paternal family, Imperial Concubine Xu came from a rather ordinary family. She didn't have the backing, but she was the second most powerful woman in the entire harem.     

Baili Lin smiled brightly when she saw Wei Xiao Hua. "Xiao Hua, you also come here and take a look."     

"Yes."     

"Don't you think it's awesome that the time has finally come? We have been waiting for so long for this day!" Baili Lin said with a hearty laugh.     

Wei Xiao Hua merely smiled and refused to comment. She still remembered this scene in the novel even though there was some difference in the details. This was one of the reasons why the real Wei Xiao Hua was close to Baili Lin.     

The two of them were equally ruthless and would not hesitate to do everything to achieve their goal.
