Xiao Li spoke softly with a smile on his face, but that smile was extremely cold, as if it was poisoned. It made people's bones go cold and their bodies tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, there was no way to doubt the truth of her words. She seemed to be able to be so vicious.

Liu Xueyin's pupils shrank unnaturally, she was shocked and terrified. She couldn't imagine such a future.

Seeing that Liu Xueyin was just frightened, Xiao Li sighed, what a 'kind' heroine, she didn't turn evil even in this state, it was really boring.

Maybe she needs a little stimulation.

Xiao Li raised her eyes and looked at the maid behind Liu Xueyin. This person had been looking at her with hatred since the beginning. She thought she was hiding it, but in fact she couldn't hide it at all.

Xiao Li didn't recognize her at first, but he hated her for not defending Liu Xueyin who was embarrassed by her. This trait is easy to identify. She is Su Jin, one of the female supporting characters with some weight in the plot.

A woman who loves King Chen.

Su Jin is the daughter of Prince Chen's wet nurse. Her father is the steward of the palace, and her mother died in the palace because of Prince Chen. Therefore, her status in the palace is very special, higher than that of the maids. Although she is not the mistress, Prince Chen obviously treats her differently.

She was arranged by King Chen to be the head maid beside Liu Xueyin, nominally to serve, but in reality to control her and act as a spy.

Prince Chen always favored Liu Xueyin. She often bullied Liu Xueyin out of jealousy and played tricks on her, causing Liu Xueyin to suffer a lot of unnecessary harm.

But when the male protagonist was chasing his wife to the crematorium and preparing to settle accounts with her, Liu Xueyin chose to forgive him. So the male protagonist was impressed by Liu Xueyin's kindness and became her knife to deal with the concubines in the palace. His loyalty to the female protagonist even exceeded that of the male protagonist.

In the early stage, she was loyal to the male protagonist, and in the later stage, she was loyal to the female protagonist. Now she probably hates her because King Chen was injured.

Xiao Li was too lazy to waste his energy dealing with this minor character who just jumped between the male and female protagonists.

When I turned around to leave, an arm appeared in front of me.

"The princess has hurt the prince, don't you have anything to say?"

Xiao Li raised his hand and waved her away: "It's not your turn to question me yet."

Su Jin grabbed Xiao Li's wrist and angrily said, "The prince's injury hasn't healed yet, and you haven't even apologized. After all, the prince is the princess's brother. Don't you think you've gone too far?"

The hatred was so strong that she unconsciously exerted force on her hands, and her nails dug deeply into Xiao Li's wrist.

Xiao Li looked down. She hated being hurt the most.

A dark light flashed in his eyes: "So what do you want to do?"

Su Jin felt she was in the right: "Go and apologize to the prince."

Xiao Li calmly asked, "Do I have to kneel down and kowtow?"

Su Jin: "Of course you have to kneel down to apologize."

"How...arrogant."

No one saw when Xiao Li pulled out the dagger. She just raised her hand and swung it, cutting Su Jin's throat cleanly and neatly.

Su Jin's expression of astonishment froze on her face, and then she fell straight to the ground.

Blood splattered all over the ground and also splashed into Liu Xueyin's eyes.

She looked at the fallen maid in disbelief, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Xiao Li: “…”

As the heroine, she is really naive.

She had no intention of killing anyone, but Su Jin insisted on going forward to seek death, so she naturally had to fulfill her wish and use her as a sacrifice.

Kill her to stimulate the heroine and draw some hatred from the hero, and see how they react.

The chess game is set, but it would be no fun without an opponent.
