The Eldest Princess had just arrived in the outer room of the front hall when she heard the fierce words.
She took the teacup from the maid and carried it to Huo Zhao. Then, she splashed the still hot tea on his face.
The slightly hot tea made Huo Zhao flinch, and his originally deranged expression instantly calmed down. He first looked at the angry Eldest Princess in confusion, then replayed everything that had happened not long ago in his mind. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
"Looks like you're awake," the Eldest Princess said coldly. She turned to look at Yu Linlang, who was still in a daze. "Slap her awake!"
A burly-looking old woman walked forward, raised her fan-like hand, and slapped Yu Linlang's face.
With a crisp snap, Yu Linlang let out a scream and spat out a bloody molar.
