Zhuang Xin turned around and looked outside, but couldn't see Mi Rao anywhere. He was stunned. He hadn't noticed when Mi Rao had left.
Judging from the Crown Princess's tone, Mi Rao must have been gone for a while. Even if she went to the Crown Prince's study, she must have just been delivering a late-night snack to him. What else could she have been doing?
Thinking this, Zhuang Xin held his breath and followed Ye Qingxue to the study!
In the study.
Mi Rao wanted to sit on Yun Zhuo's lap, but Yun Zhuo suddenly raised his hand to support her body, looked into her eyes, and said, "When will the bright moon shine on my return?"
What? Mi Rao was stunned for a moment. What was the Crown Prince talking about?
She steadied herself, smiled sweetly, and said gently, "Why are you suddenly talking about poetry? You've been away all day and haven't even come back to spend time with me. Don't you miss me?"
Yun Zhuo's face and eyes instantly turned cold.
As Mi Rao leaned closer, he quickly stood up, and Mi Rao fell into his chair. In the instant she lost her balance, Mi Rao panicked.
Could it be... that the Crown Prince realized she wasn't Ye Qingxue?
No, the poison in his body hasn't been neutralized yet, so it's impossible to tell!
Was that line of poetry she just recited? Did she make a mistake?
Before Mi Rao could react, Yun Zhuo had already grabbed her arm and pressed her against the table in front of him: "What was the midnight snack you brought me? Eat it!"
His tone was icy and menacing.
Mi Rao's upper body was forced against the table. Yun Zhuo's strength was extraordinary, and she could not struggle. Even breathing became difficult.
She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and tried to spare Yun Zhuo's life. Instead, she should have let him eat the midnight snack. He would probably be dead by now, and she wouldn't be facing this dangerous situation.
Yun Zhuo pressed her face against the edge of the bowl. If Mi Rao hadn't struggled so hard, her mouth would have been forced into the bowl.
Don't panic!
Yun Zhuo has a deadly poison in his body. She has silver needles in her sleeve. If she sticks them into Yun Zhuo, she can make him fall into a coma—just like on their wedding night in the forest.
Once Yun Zhuo falls into a coma, she will kill him without any mercy, no matter how handsome he is or how noble his background is.
"I am Qingxue, why are you treating me like this? Last time you pinched my arm so hard because of your hallucination, are you going to repeat the same mistake now?"
Because she had to fight against Yun Zhuo's strength, Mi Rao spoke with great difficulty, and her voice even trembled with tears.
However, while she was speaking, she secretly searched for the silver needles in her sleeve.
But the next moment, Yun Zhuo grabbed her wrist.
At the same time, Ye Qingxue and Zhuang Xin had arrived outside the door and happened to hear Mi Rao's words.
Zhuang Xin froze, his face drained of color. He stood rooted to the spot, his eyes as heavy as lead, unable to take another step forward.
Ye Qingxue, however, kicked open the study door and shouted, "If you are Ye Qingxue, then who am I?!"
Mi Rao's body, which was being held down by Yun Zhuo, trembled violently. When Yun Zhuo saw Ye Qingxue enter, he loosened his grip on her hand, allowing Mi Rao to look up at Ye Qingxue with disbelief in her eyes.
Passing Ye Qingxue, she also saw Zhuang Xin standing at the gate. He heard it, and he saw it too!
"Qingxue, who is the person I captured?" Yun Zhuo asked, his voice cold and tinged with anger.
"She brought me a late-night snack, trying to seduce me, and even tried to sit on my lap... But don't worry, Qingxue, I didn't let her succeed!"
Besides the coldness in Yun Zhuo's tone, there was also a hint of pride, clearly expressing his deep affection and devotion to Ye Qingxue.
Mi Rao's face turned red, then white, then red again.
She should have just poisoned Yun Zhuo back then instead of trying to become his woman, and she wouldn't be humiliated like this now!
Ye Qingxue smiled and said, "The person you captured is Mi Rao. Before I married you, Lord Zhuang arranged for her to take care of you."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Granny Xing, give the silver needle to Lord Zhuang and let him test whether the midnight snack that Mi Rao sent to His Highness the Crown Prince is poisoned. We won't test it ourselves; let Lord Zhuang do it. Otherwise, he'll think we tampered with the silver needle to frame Mi Rao."
"Yes!" Granny Xing took out a box of silver needles and handed it to Zhuang Xin: "Lord Zhuang, you can check whether the silver needles have been tampered with before inspecting the midnight snack. Although our Crown Princess is good-natured, she cannot always be slandered and bullied!"
Zhuang Xin's body stiffened, overwhelmed by a feeling of shame.
He looked at the silver needle in Granny Xing's hand, and then at Mi Rao not far away.
Yun Zhuo immediately snapped Mi Rao's arm.
Amidst Mi Rao's screams, one of her legs was broken.
Mi Rao was covered in cold sweat and kept gasping for breath. Yun Zhuo threw her to the ground as if she were something dirty, as if touching her any longer would dirty his hands.
During the process, Zhuang Xin wanted to rush over to protect her, but after taking a small half-step, he stopped.
"Zhuang Xin, test for poison!" Yun Zhuo said, "I told her to eat these things just now, but she refused!"
For a moment, Zhuang Xin felt as if his legs weighed a ton.
No, even the silver needles in his hand weigh a thousand pounds.
Mi Rao still had one leg and one arm to use. Seeing that Zhuang Xin finally moved forward, she rushed over with all her might and hugged his calf.
“Brother Zhuang, you brought me into the Crown Prince’s residence. Back then, the Crown Prince’s residence was still a Prince’s residence, and there weren’t many people in the Prince’s residence at that time. We’ve been together since the Prince’s residence declined until it became the Crown Prince’s residence. We’ve been through so much together. Don’t you believe me?”
