"Hah!"
What a touching mother-daughter embrace.
On the trial stage, the bloodstains Gu Deming left behind had not even been wiped clean.
Yu Lan lifted her gaze to meet Louisa's, her lips moving without a sound.
'You'd better be careful. Don't give me any leverage.'
'Otherwise, I won't let you off.'
A vicious glint flashed through Louisa's eyes as she was held in Queen Belina's embrace.
Watching Yu Lan turn to leave, she knew their situation had long been one of mutual destruction; they were locked in a struggle to the death.
'Has she only just figured that out today?'
'Ridiculous.'
Louisa's sweet, gentle voice piped up:
"Mother, why did Lanlan just turn and leave?"
"She didn't even come up to check on me. Could it be that she resents me for not seeing through Gu Deming's plot?"
Queen Belina's voice was cold and mocking:
"Why do you care so much about what she does?"
