It took her several seconds to understand what Qi Luan meant.
However, this is not easy to answer.
In the past, she would have been unable to resist telling the truth, but now, Shi Wuqing had been poisoned and death was a matter of time. If she told the truth, it would implicate the young lady's family...
After all, these big shots don’t care whether the Shi family knows about the replacement!
The charges are all collective!
Lian Yi could only mumble, "This servant was just on a whim. The princess likes the prince, so this servant wanted to help her keep the prince for a while..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted: "You said, she likes me?"
"Yes." Lian Yi said.
"..." Qi Luan's heart, which had been calm all along, suddenly began to ripple.
He didn't believe what Lian Yi said just now about having a secret meeting with a man. He just thought that the maid who framed her master deserved to die.
But... now, hearing her say that Shi Shuling likes her...
Qi Luan's cold eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
Well...that girl, does she like me?

The corners of Qi Luan's lips curled up unconsciously, but soon he realized it and quickly put it away.

"I..." Lian Yi was speechless for a moment.
"Tell the truth!" Qi Luan suddenly put the dagger across Lian Yi's neck!
Lian Yi's eyes widened in horror!
"What is it that makes you, a maid who betrayed your master, hide it from the princess and not tell her?" Qi Luan's expression was grim.
Lian Yi's eyes turned red with excitement when she heard the words "the maid who betrayed her master"!
Betray her master? No! She didn't!
She is always loyal to the eldest lady!
Lian Yi couldn't bear to hear this. A strong feeling of grievance, anger, and humiliation surged in her heart. She wanted to tell the truth without hesitation: "I didn't! It's..."
"Princess, you can't go in now." Suddenly, the voice of the guards stopping her came from outside.
