Xiao Tang really couldn't understand how he had stepped into the Eastern Yuan Emperor's minefield and been chased here by him...

I can't figure it out.

Wanqing shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, please don't! This poison was originally meant to harm you and the Emperor, this servant..."

"Oh, it seems you want to eat it yourself, then feed her."

Seeing that Zhao Yunmiao seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Xiao Tang said, "Young Master Zhao, if you want to sympathize with her, then I have no choice but to ask you to leave the palace."

After all, she was Zhao Yunmiao's maidservant who had been with her for many years, so Zhao Yunmiao was really sad.

Can……

Faced with Xiao Tang's threat, he still chose to back down.

No further pleading.

Wanqing, who had originally pinned her hopes on Zhao Yunmiao, suddenly felt utterly disappointed.

She lowered her head and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Young master, I... am doing this for your own good. Do you really want to see the entire Zhao family slaughtered?"

“It doesn’t matter.” Zhao Yunmiao suddenly spoke up, “They raised me to be a poisoner from childhood, so I have no feelings for the Zhao family anymore.”

Wanqing was stunned, and was eventually forced to drink the poison by the palace servants.

This is an extremely potent poison; it takes effect immediately after ingestion.

The scene was horrific.

Di Jingling immediately covered Xiao Tang's eyes and carried her away.

Zhao Yunmiao couldn't bear it in the end and turned her head away.

Seeing the couple about to leave, he immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, Your Highness! Could you... send palace servants to bury her? After all, she was my maid."

Xiao Tang glanced back at him and said, "I will have her cremated. You can then properly arrange for her ashes."

Zhao Yunmiao kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Xiao Tang couldn't bear to look at the man kowtowing and turned her gaze away.

Di Jingling pinched her waist.

"Sympathize with him?"

Xiao Tang pouted, "You don't feel sorry for me?"

"I am more deserving of sympathy."

Xiao Tang: "...What do you deserve sympathy for???"
