Trial Of Love Chapter 51 - Best Performance

Elizabeth's foot was finally well cover with the help of Lady Zhao, whilst Huang Ming continued to insist she should go to the hospital.

She pleads with the director to let her finish her take first before she goes. Seeing how determined the girl was the director agreed in the end.

"Alright then, everyone takes things seriously and avoid mistakes, so Li Zi can leave soon as possible. She won't go to the hospital since she wishes to finish her work for today first. So all of you better focus."

Everyone was worried about her at the same time impressed with her professionalism.

As they continued where they left...

The Emperor was strolling around the garden along with his other children and wife when they witness the two by the other side. He asked one of his servants to go fetch the Young General over. Leaving his eldest daughter on her own.

Then Princess Yefie walked in on her, dragging her away in front of everyone, then pushing her by the tree.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Princess Sun looked at her with disgust in how she was being treated.

"Princess Yefie, may I know what you're doing?"

"The General was promised to me by father how dare you seduce him." Princess Yefie yelled as she glared furiously at her.

"My dear sister, when has the General every acknowledge you as a woman?" Princess Sun grabs hold of her and pushed her onto the tree turning the table around on her.

"I am to be his wife…"

Princess Sun's expression became intense and frightening as if another person has possessed her. She stared directly at Princess Yefie's eyes causing the girl to tremble and turn pale.

"Who would want a wife you try to harm others and do dirty tricks just to get the attention of others. Am I not right?"

Her intimidating expression made the girl speechless. Making her unable to react and move as well… As the girl continued to stare at her directly in the eyes, she felt as if she saw what her soul is truly like.

"Cut! Yiyi what's wrong?"

Long Yiyi was in a daze when she snaps back to her senses after hearing the director called for her attention. "I'm sorry, Director..."

"Alright, then again."

After a few tries, Long Yiyi continued to make the same exact mistake causing everyone to be annoyed at her.

"Yiyi are you alright, do you want to continue? We can prolong Li Zi's foot already." Director Ge approached her and checked on her condition.

"No, I can continue director, it won't happen again, I promise..." Long Yiyi plead but was confused as to why she kept making the same mistake.

They continued to shoot, again and again, however, the promise she made did not happen at all.

"What the heck is Yiyi doing. Is she trying to kill Li Zi?"

"She just needs to say one simple line."

"All she needs to say was, 'How dare you slander my name..'"

Everyone looked at Long Yiyi with disgust as she continued to keep failing.

Huang Ming was calm this time when he offered to change the gauze in Li Zi's foot.

"Li Zi you really need to go to the hospital now. Your foot is bleeding."

Elizabeth raised the man's head to face her and smiled. "I'm fine."

When everyone saw the gauze wrap in Li Zi's foot earlier was all red, they were terribly worried and angry towards Long Yiyi.

"Yiyi, please focus. Li Zi can no longer be delayed." Director Ge pleads conflicted since both of them continued to insist they can continue.

"Yes, director." Long Yiyi replied annoyed everyone was looking down at her.

As they continued where they left...

Princess Sun's expression even became more intimidating causing Princess Yefie to fear her more.

Despite Li Zi's wound, she was so focused and professional making everyone impress of her.

"I can't believe Li Zi can still act this well despite all that pain."

"She will really be a good actress."

"The way she acts felt like she has acted for a long time."

Hearing those praises meant nothing to the woman now. Her heart was already aching as she watches her daughter continued to battle the pain. Even the guard and assistant were anxious already as they continued to whisper to the woman.

"Lady Zhao, the Young Miss doesn't look so good already." The guard said.

"Lady Zhao, she looks so pale. Shouldn't we take her to the hospital already?" The secretary worriedly asked.

Lady Zhao only shook her head, knowing if she drags the girl out now will only cause more problems for her.

Soon one take became another take. In the end, they end up with nothing at all only a total of 13 negs which make everyone exhausted and hopeless of the situation. But they kept continuing since Li Zi kept insisting at the same time Long Yiyi kept promising.

Wang Ji and Liying could not take it anymore. Wang Ji approached the director as he sincerely asked, "Director, it's been an hour already. Her foot has been on the heated ground for a long time, we really must bring her to the hospital."

Director Ge looked at the girl who continued to battle all the circumstances. "I know, your right."

The director too was worried about Li Zi, but since the girl was so incisive on finishing her work he allowed her. Before he could even stop the take, everyone's eyes narrowed as they saw the girl body gave in as she collapses on her knees.

"Li Zi."

"Sis Li Zi."

Everyone shouted as they saw her fell on her knees. Huang Ming quickly runs towards her and picked her up. "No more were taking you to the hospital now."

Lady Zhao was so frightened too, but she kept her composure and not do anything. However, her guard and secretary were unable to control themselves as they went to check on the girl. Since everyone was worried for her and run towards her, their action wasn't questioned at all.

Wang Ji pushed everyone aside as he went to check on the girl. "Li Zi, Li Zi seriously, we're going to the hospital now. Your lips are all blue and dry."

"Sorry, Bro Wang, alright, let's go," she replied as she slowly closed her eyes to rest.

Chinese People Hospital

In a private room, the best medical doctor treated the girl's wounds. At the same time, the directors and head of the hospital were all present as well. The fact Lady Zhao was in the hospital, it didn't surprise the crew and staff seeing them since they came in to greet the woman.

"It's better if Miss Li Zi stay overnight for observation. Her foot should have been treated much earlier than this. The fact it was exposed in dirt and heat, there are parts that are not in good shape, but we didn't see any sign of infection." The doctor who treated Li Zi's wounds said.

"Everyone, Lady Zhao if you need anything else, please just call us." The Hospital Director said.

"Thank you, President Cao and Dr. Sheenah." Lady Zhao greeted them.

"Liying come on stop crying… I'm not dead and I didn't lose a foot." Elizabeth's low voice spoke as she felt sorry seeing the girl crying since they arrived.

"But Sis Li Zi, they said there might be a chance. We should have dragged you out instead of letting you continue." Liying continued to cry beside her.

Wang Ji approached the girl and apologized. "This is all my fault, as your manager, I should have been firm and brought you here at once."

Huang Ming vented out his anger. "I keep telling you we should have brought her here earlier, but this is all Long Yiyi fault if she just focuses and acted well. What's wrong with her? What was she thinking, making loads of mistakes? She was really unprofessional by not taking it seriously, she saw that Li Zi was already wounded yet she acted so badly and kept forgetting her lines."

"Mr. Huang that enough, Director Ge, anyways, shouldn't you go back to the set and inform everyone what's happening. Also, shouldn't you two also clear Miss Li Zi's stuff."

The four of them looked at each other and didn't question Lady Zhao's word and left Li Zi alone with Lady Zhao.

As soon as they were gone, the woman's expression turned cold and the room became colder.

"Mother, please don't look at me like that. My foot is already in so much pain that my heart won't take it if you looked at me like that." Elizabeth looked at her mother with a beaming smile.

"How dare you still smile and act in such manner in front of me. Did you even consider how I felt?" Lady Zhao spoke up in an irritated tone.

"Come on, mother, I made the best performance ever. Plus, I even pay the person who hurt me big time." Elizabeth puffs her eyes like a puppy.

"Yes, your plan was amazing, but why must you forget about yourself." Lady Zhao argued yet the girl continued to ignore her and showed off an adorable expression. "Do you know if it was your father there he would have killed all of them. What if your father was the one watching you and not me…"

"Mother can you please stop getting angry at me, I would really like to eat or drink something cold right now. I was under the sun for too long." Elizabeth continued to act like a pitiful child.

The woman could not help it after seeing the girl acting cute in front of her, despite the fact that she was trying to discipline her, in the end, she gave up. "Fine, fine, Mother will stop. I'll go ask them to buy you something cold to drink and eat."
