Chapter 3 Princess Chen 3
Upon hearing this, Xiaoju looked at Qi Chen, who was slumped over the table, and she could sense that he was no longer breathing.
However, she still needs to confirm it.
Xiaoju did not answer Luoxi's question.
After all, in her opinion, Luo Xi was definitely going to die.
Xiaoju strode to Qi Chen's side, reached out, and was about to take his pulse.
"Sizzle!"
A knife mark instantly appeared on Xiaoju's neck.
She stared in disbelief at the bodyguards who had appeared before her.
So... so Prince Chen didn't die?
Unfortunately, she didn't have time to think any further; she collapsed to the ground, lifeless...
Qi Chen sat up straight, glanced coldly at the person on the ground, and said to An Jiu, "Dispose of her body."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then, An Jiu left with Xiao Ju's body.
Luo Xi covered her mouth, watching the scene with fear.
Qi Chen looked at Luo Xi, stood up, and walked towards her step by step, while Luo Xi retreated step by step in fear.
Qi Chen: "Your Highness, don't move, I won't hurt you."
Luo Xi didn't believe it.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned to run outside.
Qi Chen quickly stepped forward and hugged Luo Xi tightly around the waist.
"Your Highness, do you know what that maid put in our tea just now?"
Luo Xi trembled all over, "I know, it's...it's an aphrodisiac."
Qi Chen whispered in her ear, "No, it's a deadly poison. She wants to poison both you and me."
Luo Xi: "Impossible, she was sent by my father."
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
"So, my father wants to kill me?"
"That's right."
"He wanted to kill me, but if I died, he would definitely be suspected. After all, I died in your yard, so he wanted you to die with me..."
"Your Highness, now you should know what kind of person your father is."
Luo Xi nodded, looking lost and dejected.
Qi Chen: "Then, if anything happens to him in the future, don't help him, okay?"
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I am still his daughter. If something happens to him, I will definitely be implicated as well."
Qi Chen: "I won't let anything happen to you. I'll protect you."
Luo Xi:
Oh! She didn't quite believe it.
They always say nice things, but the key is whether they can actually do them.
Luo Xi looked somewhat incredulous. "Really?"
Qi Chen: "Really."
Luo Xi lowered her head and said softly, "Then... I'll think about it some more."
“Your Highness, your father is going to kill you. And once he does it, he’ll do it again.”
"Think about how that maid treated you just now."
Luo Xi clenched her fists. "Fine, I will never help him again."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chen hugged her tightly.
He didn't care whether she was lying to him or not, as long as she verbally agreed.
Three days later
Luo Ming, the only son of Prime Minister Luo, was riding a horse in the hunting grounds when it suddenly went berserk and threw him off. His head struck a sharp rock, causing him to bleed profusely. The mad horse also trampled his chest several times. By the time the Prime Minister's guards shot the horse dead, Luo Ming was already dead…
The Prime Minister's Residence.
Prime Minister Luo seemed to have aged considerably overnight.
He didn't care about anyone else in the Prime Minister's residence, including his own daughters.
The only person he cared about was his son, Luo Ming, whom he had raised himself.
Luo Ming was born to his second wife. After giving birth to Luo Ming, her health was never very good, and she passed away less than a year later.
Therefore, Luo Ming was basically raised by him personally.
How could this feeling be compared to anyone else's?
Moreover, he doted on Luo Ming and would give him whatever he wanted.
But now he was told that his son Luo Ming was dead, and that he had been trampled to death by a horse. How could he accept that?
