Inside the Cold Palace
The Empress watched as the woman cried and begged for her life.
"Your Highness, please spare my life."
"Why should I let you live, when you tried to kill not only me but my own daughter?" The Empress slaps the woman on the face.
"It was all Concubine Xin orders, I did it for her, please spare me..." The woman crawled towards the Empress and cried.
"Take her..." The Empress said as she walked out of the cold palace with such an icy expression.
"Cut!"
Everyone started applauding and praising Zheng Mi for her work.
"Director, how was it?" Zheng Mi approached the director and check the replay.
"Perfect as always, well done... No need to redo, everyone, prepare for the next scene." Director Ge instructed.
As the staff was busy rearranging the set for the next scene.
Elizabeth was busy in a corner communicating on her SNS account.
Mom: Darling, are you sure you want to pick me up?
Princess: Of course, don't you want me to pick you up?
Mom: It's fine, I'm just worried you'll be busy.
Princess: Don't worry, I'll talk to the director later to ask permission.
Granny: Darling, how are you?"
Princess: Granny, I'm fine. Wait... I'll send you a photo.
(Elizabeth sent a selfie of her and the staff at the background working on the set.)
Granny: You look so beautiful, dear.
Auntie Kuo: Lili dear, come visit us when you're free.
Grandpa: My darling is the prettiest of them all.
Elizabeth smiled as she read the other relatives' comments. She found it funny, seeing the elder battling who she looked like.
"Sis Li Zi."
Elizabeth looked up and saw Liying approaching her. Liying been working hard since the incident and not a day she does not thank the girl.
Elizabeth watched as the girl slowly approached her in a tense manner. "What is it?"
Liying was anxious as to what she should say, "Sis Li Zi, do you need anything? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Elizabeth sighed, "Liying, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine... Also, you don't have to thank me for a million times."
"Sorry.." Liying looked down and felt depressed.
"Liying it's fine, come, let's grab some snacks." Elizabeth got up from where she was seated as she walked around the set with Liying.
The girl always captures everyone's attention when she walks around. Despite the warm weather, she looked beautiful and refreshing in her royal attire.
"I can't believe those people online spreading rumors of Li Zi being a mistress of some tycoon just because she drives an expensive car and was cast as the second female lead."
"I'm sure the car came from her friend Jackie, didn't Li Zi explained Jackie's family is from a rich family."
"Long Yiyi's fans are really mean towards Li Zi. Just because Li Zi doesn't have any fan yet backing her up, they'll think she really is a mistress of some pig."
Elizabeth overheard what the staff was talking about. She has been in deep thoughts lately about how to solve the problem of her status. The fact she appeared driving her car last time has cost quite a commotion. At the same time, Long Yiyi's fans continued to harass her online.
"Sis Li Zi, don't listen to them," Liying said, noticing the girl was in a daze.
Elizabeth smiled as she looked at the girl beside her, "Don't worry, I'm fine... I'll solve it."
...
As they were having a break, Elizabeth continued to observe as the other actors continued to film their parts.
'Huang Ming sure is a good actor, not only that... His fighting skills are amazing. He must have taken classes since he was a kid to have such good flexibility and coordination.'
"Oh- General Huang is so handsome."
"Huang Ming's body is to die for. Damn it! I can't control myself anymore."
"I won't mind licking all his sweat."
Elizabeth choked after hearing the staff ladies' comments. She quickly grabs her drink to help her calm down.
'Man...Huang Ming sure has quite a fan within the staff. To think they'll even be willing to go that far.'
"Sis Li Zi, don't you think Huang Ming is so handsome. Look at those muscles. Ah-" Liying's eyes sparkled as she continued to gaze upon the man who was half-naked.
The scene just finished and all the staff were gathered around Huang Ming.
Elizabeth went closer since she needed to talk to the director about her plan tomorrow.
"Director Ge, can I talk to you for a moment?"
The director turned around, "Li Zi, how can I help you?"
"Would it be alright if I take the afternoon off, I need to pick up my friend from the airport."
"Sure, no problem."
Elizabeth smiled after getting the director's approval. As she was about to leave, her gaze caught Huang Ming who was about to put on his shirt.
She shook her head as she walked away flustered as to what she just saw.
'Did I just for a second thought Bro Ming was attractive. I must be out of my mind.'
"Sis Li Zi, are you alright? Your face is so red."
Elizabeth was surprised when Liying mentioned her face was red, she quickly walked away and runoff.
"I wonder what's wrong with Sis Li Zi?"
It was not only Elizabeth, whose face was completely red. The man who just put on his clothes were also burning in the inside not only from the extreme take but from the fact that the girl was gazing at him.
"Huang Ming, is something wrong?"
"No, I'm fine, I just need to rest for a bit."
Huang Ming could not help it, but picture out the image of the girl. Her innocent smile and adorable expression just, make his heartbeat all of a sudden.
