When Hua Manman saw Li Ying appear, she couldn't help but freeze.
His appearance hadn't changed much, but the aura about him was drastically different.
It was as if a beast that had long restrained itself had finally unsheathed its claws, all its former composure replaced by unbridled ferocity.
Just a single glance was enough to make one's heart pound with fear. He was exceedingly dangerous.
Li Ying's gaze lingered on Hua Manman's belly for a moment before moving to her face.
He asked calmly, "How did you end up in the Imperial Palace?"
Hua Manman's attitude was quite frank.
"The Night Owl Guard insisted on bringing me here. They said they found prohibited items in the Prince Zhao Mansion and that I had to come to the Imperial Palace to explain things clearly to Wu Wang."
In truth, Li Ying had already heard that Hua Manman had been brought into the Imperial Palace by the Night Owl Guard.
It was precisely because he knew of this that he had dropped everything and rushed over.
