"This is exactly your brilliance. You pretended not to be able to practice cultivation to gain the princess's sympathy, and then waited for an opportunity to act. Humph, you are really too cunning, but how could you escape the eyes of me, He Qing? Therefore, your plan is doomed to fail. I am here today to kill you!"

He Qing's murderous aura slowly emerged.

Tang Xiaobao felt a little aggrieved.

"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. You're just slandering me. Why bother? If you wanted to kill me, you could have done it openly. I'm just a servant in the princess's mansion anyway. My death wouldn't attract the princess's attention. Why bother finding such a trumped-up charge and pinning it on me? Don't you think that's excessive?"

Although he was afraid, Tang Xiaobao was too unhappy if he didn't say what was in his heart.

Since I am destined to die, I must die knowingly.

He just couldn't stand He Qing's expression.

Fortunately, He Qing stopped pretending.

He laughed heartily. "So what if you know I'm slandering you? If you die, you'll be a spy, and no one will care."

"Is it because of Old Man Chen from the horse farm? Or is it because you received orders from the Third and Fourth Princes?"

Tang Xiaobao smiled.

"You are very brave. You can even laugh."

He Qing was a little surprised and said with narrowed eyes.

Tang Xiaobao curled his lips and said, "I'm going to die anyway. Even if I kneel down and beg you, will you let me go? After all, you're just a dog. But since you're the princess's dog, how can you recognize the Third and Fourth Princes as your masters? If the princess knew, she wouldn't be happy."
