I raised my lips, but there was a hint of coldness in my smile, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? You are the only one in the capital who knows how to write the word 'military power'!"

Li Chengqian's face turned from pale to livid, and he glared at me with gnashing teeth, as if he wanted to eat me alive. But I wasn't scared at all, and instead I found his timid look somewhat amusing.

"You...what do you want to do?" Li Chengqian's voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened by my sudden reversal.

I chuckled and walked in front of him, "Don't be nervous, Your Highness. I have always liked to kill. However, you also know that I hate it most when others threaten me, especially people like you who only know how to play tricks... idiots!"

I deliberately emphasized the word "straw bag" and sure enough, Li Chengqian's face instantly turned uglier than pig liver. The guards around him lowered their heads and tried hard to hold back their laughter, fearing that they would get into trouble if they were not careful.

"Lin Qingya, don't be so arrogant! I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. If you dare to show respect to me, I will be afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" I looked at him provocatively, "Are you afraid that you will kill me?" I paused deliberately, looking at Li Chengqian's body trembling slightly because of fear, and my heart was filled with joy, "Your Highness, do you really think that you can walk out of this Prince Rui's Mansion alive just by what you did today?"

Li Chengqian's pupils shrank suddenly, obviously because I hit the nail on the head. He looked at me in horror, as if he was meeting me for the first time, "You...what do you want?"

"What do I want?" I pretended to be thoughtful. "I am always easy to talk to. As long as His Royal Highness agrees to a few small conditions, I promise that what happened today will be as if it never happened."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then he nodded quickly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Okay, okay, whatever conditions you want, just ask, as long as I do it, I will definitely agree to it!"

I smiled with satisfaction, "Your Highness, you are indeed a man who knows the current affairs. In that case, I will get straight to the point..."

I whispered to Li Chengqian's ear and told him my plan in detail. After hearing what I said, Li Chengqian's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously frightened by my plan.

"Lin Qingya, you...you are going to..."

"What do you want?" I looked at him with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's life?"

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, "You are going to kill me, I am the prince, if you kill me, you will live!"

"Your Highness, you are absolutely right." I shook my head with a look of regret, "I have always been kind-hearted, how could I kill someone so casually?" I paused, "But..."

I deliberately prolonged the ending sound of "깊". Li Chengqian's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He held his breath, nervously waiting for my next words.

"But there are always some accidents in this world, right?" I raised my lips, a cold light flashed in my eyes, "For example, a fire, a fall into the water, or..." I leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Being bitten to death by a poisonous snake..."

Li Chengqian's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He looked at me in horror, his legs went limp, and he sat paralyzed on the ground.

"You...you..."

"Me what?" I looked down at him, my eyes full of mockery, "Your Highness, you really think I would be so kind as to let you go, right?"

I squatted down, reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look me in the eye, "I'll ask you one last time, do you agree to my terms?"

Li Chengqian's lips trembled, but he barely uttered a word.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is crying at the sight of the coffin!" I sneered, stood up, and waved to the guards behind me, "Come here, bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Before I could finish my words, I heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, followed by a panicked voice outside the door, "Prince, Hello, the Queen... The Queen... "

My heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition came over me. Queen, what happened to her?
