In fact, Chan Xue also disagreed with Duan Hong's approach. After all, any normal person could see that they were planning to plot against Duan Qingxi!
But in order not to upset Duan Qingxi, Chan Xue had no choice but to say, "Don't say that. Perhaps the general has his own difficulties. This is the capital after all. If the general executed his own brother and his family on the spot, what would others say? What would His Majesty think?"
As an official, there are actually too many things to consider. Even if they seem to be successful, if they are not careful, their entire clan will be killed along with them.
Qiao Yun curled her lips and said, "We can't let Duan Youcai off so easily!"
Chanxue frowned and signaled her to stop talking.
Qiao Yun finally reacted, covering her mouth with a look of regret on her face.
She was only concerned with satisfying herself, but forgot that Duan Qingxi should be the one who was the most angry and sad.
Duan Qingxi didn't care. She said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
In fact, she has long been accustomed to it. This matter is a difficult one for anyone, so she does not intend to let Duan Hong be stained with blood as part of Duan Ming's family.
Just as he was about to continue talking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and said to Qiao Yun and Chan Xue, "You two should go out first. I'll take a rest. I didn't sleep well last night."
Qiao Yun and Chan Xue: ...She was the one who slept the best last night.
However, they did not expose her. They just thought that Duan Qingxi was sad because of this matter, but did not want them to see it, so they left obediently.
As soon as they left, Helian Sheng suddenly appeared in the room.
After seeing Duan Qingxi rolling her eyes at him, he couldn't help but step forward and want to hold her in his arms.
How could Duan Qingxi not understand his thoughts? He dodged and warned, "Stay away from me! You and I are engaged. If you dare to ruin my reputation, I will kill you!"
Hearing this, the man stopped moving.
But he lazily lay on Duan Qingxi's bed and said with a smile: "I have heard about your family's affairs, which are quite interesting."
Duan Qingxi glanced at him. Why did he feel that this person seemed to have changed after not seeing him for a few days?
But she didn't care, and said, "By the way, I calculated the time, and it seems that your poison took effect yesterday. Are you okay?"
"You care about this king?"
"Isn't this nonsense?! How embarrassing would it be for me if you died like this?!"
Helian Sheng ignored the latter part of her words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if it's for you, I won't die."
Duan Qingxi was calm inside, but had a sneer on his face.
Let him be narcissistic!
Who made him a prince?
"What do you want to see me about?"
After a pause, Duan Qingxi was afraid that he was here to ask about the antidote, so he added, "The antidote is still not ready, but there is only one ingredient missing. Don't worry, I will do my best."
She was serious about this matter.
Although she didn't like Helian Sheng very much, since they were partners, she would definitely do what she promised.
This is a question of integrity!
Helian Sheng said, "There's no need to rush about the antidote. I trust you. I came to see you this time... simply because I missed you."
Duan Qingxi: ...
She stood up, looked at him coldly and said, "Go slowly, don't let go!"
Helian Sheng knew what she was angry about, and said, "I just came to see you, not to have an affair with you, why are you so angry?"
Duan Qingxi: "If it's not an affair, does that mean I can secretly meet another woman even though I'm engaged?!"
Can't you learn from her?!
