“Yes… yes!”
The maid trembled and took countless deep breaths to calm herself down. After organizing her words carefully, she said:
"I am a maid in the eldest lady's room. Young Master, you know this. I don't know much, but I know the general idea. It seems that the emperor came to the old master some time ago and asked him to hand you over to the court, otherwise he would take action against the Xuanyuan family.
The old master knew that you had no feelings for the Xuanyuan family, so he told you that there was absolutely no way to call you back, so..."
The maid glanced nervously at Xuanyuan Yexiao, whose face was dark, and said, "So they forced Third Madam to drink a slow-acting poison to destroy her health, and then sent you a family letter. The old man's original words were that as long as Third Madam fell ill, no matter how dangerous it was, you would come back.
"This servant... this servant's duty is to make the Third Madam drink this slow-acting poison potion every day to destroy her body. As for the rest... I don't know anything else. Please... please, young master, spare this servant. I am only following orders!"
The maid was now extremely frightened, and looked at the young master, who was as beautiful as a Lycoris radiata, in horror.
Although the flowers are beautiful, only the dead can appreciate them. But she...she doesn't want to become a dead person yet!
Xuanyuan Yexiao smiled an extremely evil smile and said, "Since you are here on orders, help them die first!"
After saying that, without waiting for the maid to scream, Xuanyuan Yexiao stood up and kicked the two large broken pieces of bowl on the ground into the maid's eyes.
The fragment was inserted very deeply, directly into the optic nerve and into the brain.
The maid's mouth was wide open, her face full of fear, and she fell to the ground, frozen like a corpse.
After calming down his anger, Xuanyuan Yexiao turned around and said to Yu Ji with a smile, "Mom, don't be afraid. I know a friend who is an expert in using poison. Even the poisonous creatures like Muyou around Mo Yunfang are no match for her.
You must have heard of her. She is Baili Xiao, the current Queen of Nanyue. She is Baili Feng's biological sister. If she helps, she will definitely make her mother recover."
At this moment, Yu Ji was already in tears. She insisted on waiting for her son to come back, because she didn't want her son to be deceived by his family and captured. Now she was very happy to be able to see her son for the last time.
Yu Ji shook her head and reached out to touch her son's breathtakingly beautiful face. This face, a combination of her husband's charm and her own looks, was her greatest achievement in life.
Xuanyuan Yexiao reached out and held his mother's hand, which was caressing his own. He said, "Mom, come with me. This place is no longer worth your lingering. I swear that after everything is settled, I will definitely send you back here so that you can stay with your father forever. We are only leaving temporarily now."
After saying that, he prepared to carry his mother away.
"Xiao'er, don't!" Yu Ji stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Yexiao said anxiously, "Mom, you heard what that bitch said just now. They did this to use you to threaten their son. As long as you leave with me, their plan will be in vain. Mom, don't hesitate any longer, come with me. I promise to send you back in the future so that you can spend a few more years with Dad!"
