The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 172 Wu Sang commits suicide

After all the hard work, she got nothing and even came back with a lot of anger! Hua Miaomiao became more and more angry, so she kept cursing and complaining on the way back. Tao Yao followed silently, letting her vent her anger. When they occasionally met palace servants passing by, they all carefully avoided them.

"Why didn't you say a word? Why didn't you come to comfort me!" Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but turn around and question Tao Yao.

"Of course I know that you are very angry right now. If I don't let you vent, you will feel even worse." Tao Yao replied softly.

"But is it really okay for you to keep pampering me like this?" Hua Miaomiao sighed helplessly and continued, "Alas... sometimes I really feel like I've been spoiled by you."

"I can't help it. I just like to pamper you like this." Tao Yao responded with a smile.

"Now that things have come to this, what should we do next?" Hua Miaomiao gradually calmed down and began to think about countermeasures.

"At the moment, Miss Miao's life should not be in danger. The most urgent task is to find a way to wake up the regent. After all, when it comes to manipulating power and tactics, he is much better than the rest of us." Tao Yao analyzed.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have blocked that sword for him! I should have just let him die directly, it would have been less troublesome that way!" Hua Miaomiao muttered indignantly.

"That's not the Hua Miaomiao I know." Tao Yao patted Hua Miaomiao on the shoulder and comforted her. "A blessing in disguise. No one knows what will happen until the end."

After hearing Tao Yao's words, Hua Miaomiao showed a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Taoyao. I always feel hopeful when you're around."

"I will always be with you." Tao Yao looked at Hua Miaomiao tenderly.

Just then, there was a noise in the distance.

"Something seems to have happened over there. Let's go take a look." Tao Yao pulled Hua Miaomiao towards the direction of the sound.

At the palace gate, someone was arguing with the guards guarding the city, and it seemed that he was stopped when he wanted to enter the palace.

Hua Miaomiao walked closer and saw that it was Wu Sang. What a coincidence. She pretended to be surprised and walked up to him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Sang saw that the two of them had just come out of the palace, so he hurriedly asked them, "Have you seen the high priest? He has been in the palace for several months and there is no news."

It seems that Wu Sang still doesn't know that the high priest is dead. If he is too attentive to him, it will arouse suspicion. Hua Miaomiao said to him indifferently: "What if I have seen him? What if I haven't seen him?"

"Miss Hua Er, I know that you and I have a deep grudge, but this concerns my only relative, so please put aside the past grudges and tell me the truth."

Hua Miaomiao didn't respond, so Tao Yao continued, "The high priest got into some trouble, so you can't see him now."

Wu Sang became anxious when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How is he?"

"I can't tell you the specific details. I can try to arrange for you to meet him, but you have to do something for me first."

"No problem, just tell me what you want."

"Come with me." Tao Yao said, then took Hua Miaomiao's hand and walked forward.

Neither of them took a carriage when they came, so they could only walk back. They walked along the market, and Wu Sang followed behind them not too far away.

Hua Miaomiao leaned close to Tao Yao's ear and said, "Isn't it bad for you to lie to him like this?"

Tao Yao looked puzzled and asked, "What did I lie to him about?"

Hua Miaomiao was stunned. She thought about it carefully and it seemed that he really didn't lie. "But..."

"Should I tell him that your high priest was killed by Princess Ling Lan with a single sword, and that we now need you to cure the poison of the regent?"

"..."

Okay, Hua Miaomiao admits it, it’s okay to be wronged.

After the three returned to the palace, they were all very surprised by Wu Sang's sudden appearance. Hua Miaomiao was worried that everyone might accidentally let the cat out of the bag, so she hurriedly urged Wu Sang to be taken to see the regent.

Wu Sang carefully examined the regent's condition, then turned around and asked, "How did he get poisoned?"

Princess Linglan was the first to respond: "The eunuch chief Zhou Changfu attempted to assassinate the emperor. Fortunately, the prince acted in time and killed him, but unfortunately the prince was poisoned afterwards. I wonder if you know this person?" There seemed to be a hint of blame in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Sang hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying that he had never heard of this person and asserted that he was not a member of their village.

"Well, let's not pursue this matter for now. If you can successfully save the prince, it will be considered a great achievement."

"As you command, I will do my best." Wu Sang agreed quickly. Because removing the poison requires full concentration and no one else can interfere, all relevant personnel, including Princess Linglan, were asked to leave the room.

Hua Miaomiao had a strange feeling in her heart. In her impression, although Wu Sang had experienced many vicissitudes of life, he was not so timid.

Something suddenly occurred to her mind, and she grabbed Taoyao's arm and asked, "Just now outside the palace gate, Wu Sang said that the high priest was his only relative, but didn't he get married and have children?"

"Maybe something happened. Is there any problem with that?"

"I don't know, I just feel like something is wrong."

Hua Miaomiao ignored the dissuasion and opposition of the people around her and decided to go back to check the situation. It was because of her persistence that she witnessed the extremely thrilling scene.

Wu Sang had a gloomy face and a strange smile on his lips. He pulled out an extremely sharp scimitar and cut his wrist. He didn't seem to care about the pain and tried to pour the blood into the Regent's mouth!

Hua Miaomiao was shocked, she knew very well how terrible the toxicity in Wu Sang's blood was.

"Wu Sang, what exactly do you want to do?" Hua Miaomiao roared in anger, and then rushed into the room like the wind.

However, Wu Sang quickly turned the scimitar in his hand, and pressed the sharp tip of the knife against the regent's throat, and warned him fiercely: "Don't get any closer!"

Everyone was frightened by this sudden change. They could only stand nervously at the door, paying close attention to Wu Sang's every move in the house.

At this moment, Ge Qingcheng noticed that Hua Niao Niao beside him was trembling slightly, and her eyes were already red with anxiety. He held her hand tightly, silently giving her support and comfort.

Hua Miaomiao stood in the middle of the room, glaring at Wu Sang angrily. "What the hell are you crazy about? Don't you want to see your uncle anymore?"

Wu Sang burst into laughter when he heard this. "You still want to lie to me? Do you really think I'm stupid? You are the ones who are really stupid!"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think that eunuch is a traitor? No, that is my uncle's life Gu, his last obsession before his death."

Hua Miaomiao recalled the scene when Zhou Changfu launched the attack. In addition to targeting the emperor, she was indeed the only target. She asked unconvincedly: "The emperor has a grudge against you, so you can kill him if you want, but why did you attack me?"

Wu Sang snorted coldly and replied with disdain: "Shouldn't the daughter of a traitor deserve to die?"

Hearing this, Hua Miaomiao was stunned. Oh, yes, she almost forgot that she was wearing a vest for Hua Niaoniao. The feeling of being wronged was instantly relieved.

At this moment, Princess Linglan's stern rebuke came from outside the house: "Wu Sang, I advise you to think carefully! Are you really not afraid of the court sending troops to encircle and suppress your village?"

However, Wu Sang responded without fear: "Let them be destroyed. I have nothing now anyway. I have dedicated everything I have to the Wu family. Even if they gave me great grace in raising me, I should have repaid them now." His tone revealed determination.

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. She remembered the kind-hearted but slightly inferior boy when she first met him. "Wu Sang, you shouldn't live like this."

A bitter smile appeared on Wu Sang's lips, and he said as if he was mocking himself: "What can I do? My life seems to have been determined by fate before I was born. However, Hua Miaomiao, why do you want to take away the only bit of sweetness left in my life? Do you know that the person I hate the most is you!" His voice was filled with endless resentment and resentment, and the hand holding the knife to commit suicide was so decisive and cruel.

His blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the bedding. Amid the blood-red, the Regent's skin also turned bright red.
