Hua Qingqing scrambled to her feet and asked nervously.
"Second Sister, are you all right? Where are you hurt?"
Hua Manman remained lying on the ground, seemingly having fainted.
Hua Qingqing's face turned pale with fright.
She looked around, but there was no one nearby. She had even sent away her personal palace maids.
All she could do was help Hua Manman up. She saw a cut on Hua Manman's forehead with fresh blood trickling down her temple, a frightening sight.
Hua Qingqing called her name twice, but when she got no response, her panic grew.
"Wait here, I'll go get help."
With that, Hua Qingqing gathered her skirts and hurried away.
The moment Hua Qingqing was gone, Hua Manman opened her eyes.
She hadn't fainted at all.
She had deliberately feigned unconsciousness to get Hua Qingqing to leave.
Hua Manman reached for a nearby rock and asked slowly.
"When Hua Qingqing was in danger just now, you were so anxious. Her life must be very important to you, right?"
