Looking at Xu Yan's expectant face, He Zhu couldn't help but think to himself, "Is Xu Yan out of her mind? She already drugged His Highness the Crown Prince, what else could he possibly give her!"
Under Xu Yanxi's expectant gaze, He Zhu said in a sinister tone, "Of course, it's suicide!"
"Your Highness, I'm treating you very well. I've prepared three things especially for you. Which one do you like? There's a white silk ribbon, a dagger, and poison. Please choose one!"
"Impossible, no way!" Xu Yan was shocked and backed away repeatedly. How could the Crown Prince let her die?
"With everything laid out before you, what's impossible now!"
"A person should know their own limitations and not take themselves too seriously!" He Zhu felt that Xu Yan was overestimating herself.
"I don't believe it!" Xu Yan shook her head and said, "Did the Crown Princess send you? The Crown Prince won't let you off if he finds out! You're actually the Crown Princess's lackey! The Crown Princess is ruthless and vicious; the Crown Prince won't let her get away with it!"
Xu Yun stepped forward and covered Xu Yan's mouth, then curtsied to He Zhu and said, "Eunuch He, please forgive me! My sister lost her mind for a moment and spoke without thinking!"
"This is hardly just a matter of speaking recklessly! How dare you utter such outrageous words to slander the Crown Princess!"
With a "slap," He Zhu slapped Xu Yan across the face and said expressionlessly, "This is the consequence of your disrespect for the Crown Princess!"
What makes you think His Highness the Crown Prince treats you differently? What right do you have to compare yourself to the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess is the most precious person to His Highness the Crown Prince. He raised her himself. How can you compare to her?
Everyone in Yuqing Palace knows that if you offend His Highness the Crown Prince, it's alright, because the Crown Princess will plead for you.
However, anyone who displeases the Crown Princess faces certain death; His Highness the Crown Prince will not let anyone who displeases her go unpunished.
"Alright, I'm in a good mood now, so I'll talk to you a bit more. Hurry up and choose one, I still need to report back to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I won't choose! Why should I choose! I want to see the Crown Prince!" Xu Yan ran forward regardless of everything, and she actually made it out.
"What are you all doing! Stop her!" He Zhu shouted, pointing his pinky finger. "If His Highness the Crown Prince scolds us, we'll all be in deep trouble!"
He Zhu's men immediately chased after Xu Yan in the direction she had run.
At this moment, Xu Yan's luck turned around, and the men He Zhu brought failed to catch up with her.
Xu Yan knew that the Crown Prince would be in the front hall when he arrived, so she ran straight to the front hall.
Xu Yan ran breathlessly to the front hall and, sure enough, saw the Crown Prince there. She shouted loudly, "Your Highness, help! The Crown Princess is trying to poison me!"
Seeing Xu Yan running over, the Crown Prince cursed inwardly: [He Zhu, he can't even handle this simple matter, letting her escape! What a useless piece of trash!]
"Your Highness, save me!" Xu Yan knelt before the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince took a few steps back, distancing himself from Xu Yan. "I was the one who poisoned you. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. If you are not satisfied, come and find me after you become a ghost!"
But if you dare disturb the Crown Princess, I will surely grind you to dust and condemn you to eternal damnation!
Xu Yan said in shock and heartache, "Your Highness, do you really hate this servant so much?"
The Crown Prince looked at Xu Yan coldly, "You drugged me, and I have already shown great mercy by only sparing your life. If you continue to cause trouble, I will not hesitate to make your entire clan pay with their lives!"
