After Prince Rui walked out of Princess Rui's room, he glanced coldly at Xuemei who was guarding the door.
Then, he snorted coldly and walked towards his study.
Seeing this, Xuemei quickly followed him in fear.
When Prince Rui stepped into his study, Xuemei had already followed him in fear, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to do with Xuemei?"
Prince Rui sat on the chair and looked at her with evil eyes, "Xuemei, tell me, if someone betrays me, what will happen to her?"
"..." Xuemei trembled in fright, "Whoever...whoever dares to betray the prince will of course be dead."
Prince Rui looked at her meaningfully, "Really? Then what do you think is the best way for me to let her die?"
"Your Highness..." When Xuemei heard this, her legs softened and she knelt on the ground, "What exactly do you want to say, please just say it!"
Prince Rui sneered coldly, "Xuemei, it's you who wants to say something to me, right? If you don't tell me honestly, I will kill you right now!"
Hearing this, Xuemei was frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm here to help you! I'm sorry, but I betrayed you. I told the princess about the red flowers in the bird's nest."
"It's really you!" Prince Rui said, suddenly stood up, smashed the inkstone on the table onto Xuemei, and said angrily, "You Xuemei, how dare you betray me as one of my own people?
, together with the princess to attack the king, are you looking for death?"
Xuemei hurriedly kowtowed to Prince Rui, "My lord, please spare my life. I also saw that the princess was very pitiful and was afraid that she would seek death, so..."
"That's enough! I don't want to hear your nonsense. Betrayal is betrayal without any reason!" Prince Rui said angrily, "I once said that if you dare to betray me, you will only die. Tell me, how do you want to die? I
Wang Chengquan you!"
"Ah..." Xuemei said in fear, "Your Majesty, I don't want to die yet. Please forgive me and spare my life."
"Ask for mercy from this king?" Prince Rui sneered, "You are a traitor, do you think this king will spare you so easily? Unless..."
"Unless what?" Xuemei quickly raised her head.
Prince Rui turned around, put his hands on his back, and snorted coldly, "Unless you are willing to do something for me, if you do it well, you can atone for your sins, and then I will spare your life."
"Do something? What thing?" Xuemei looked nervous. She had a hunch that this was definitely not a good thing.
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes, and suddenly there was a bottle of medicine in his hand. He handed the medicine to Xuemei, with murderous intent on his face, "I have a bottle of poison here. It is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely difficult to detect. I
I want you to put it in the princess’s food and let her eat it.”
Looking at the medicine bottle, Xuemei's body trembled, "My lord, do you mean that you want your slave to poison the princess and you want to kill her?"
Prince Rui snorted coldly, "Yes! It is not a pity to die for a woman like Zhou Jingyi. Only by killing her can I have no worries."
This woman is so powerful that if she is not eliminated for one day, she will be a serious problem for him.
Xuemei raised her eyebrows in disbelief, "Prince, are you really unwilling to let the princess go? She was also impulsive because she lost her beloved son and was too sad. I believe that after she calms down, she will definitely
You know your mistake!"
"Hmph! Xuemei, you don't need to plead for her. This woman still hasn't woken up yet and wants to kill me. Of course I have to strike first!" Prince Rui said angrily.
Having said this, he added, "I also want to tell you that there is no antidote to this poison. She will die if she takes it. This is what will happen if she dares to harm me!"
"What? There's no antidote?" Xuemei looked surprised. She didn't expect the prince to be so cruel to the princess, without any mercy.
Even so, she still refused to give up and said, "But my lord, didn't you say before that you would just confine the princess until she dies of old age and illness? Why did you change your mind?"
Prince Rui said coldly, "I have never changed my mind! It's just that I don't want blood on my hands, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After you poison her to death, I will tell the Zhou family that she is because of the pain of losing her.
My dear son, I couldn’t think of anything anymore so I took poison and committed suicide! In this way, the Zhou family will be unable to do anything to me, and the world will not be able to doubt me, do you understand?”
"Ah..." Xuemei exclaimed in fright.
It turned out that Prince Rui was afraid that the Zhou family would cause trouble for him, so he wanted to use her hand to poison Princess Rui.
Prince Rui didn't want to spare the life of the princess. He simply wanted to kill the princess, but he said it so grandly.
Princess Rui loved Prince Rui so much, but she ended up like this.
Seeing that Xuemei didn't speak, Prince Rui reflected a fierce look in his eyes, "What? Xuemei, you don't want to? Think carefully, either she dies or you die!"
"I..." Xuemei was so frightened that she weakened and said hurriedly, "I am willing, I will obey the prince in everything."
Prince Rui said: "That's good. Come, take the medicine and find a way for the princess to take it. When she dies, you will report to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xuemei said, tremblingly taking the bottle of poison.
-
After Xuemei got the bottle of poison, she walked out of the study in despair.
Then, she walked towards the kitchen.
Soon, Xuemei walked out of the kitchen, brought two dishes and one soup, and walked towards Princess Rui's room.
At this time, the sky was dark and the surroundings were gray. Xuemei was holding those meals, and her heart was also gray.
Slowly, she arrived at the door of Princess Rui's room, wandering outside, hesitating.
"Xuemei, what's wrong with you? Why don't you come in?" At this time, Princess Rui in the room had already discovered Xuemei.
Seeing Xuemei's panicked look, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Xuemei heard the shouting and hurriedly said: "Oh, I got it, my slave will come in right away."
After saying that, she quickly walked in with the food in hand.
After the food was set, Xuemei quickly stepped forward and closed the door to prevent the guards outside from seeing what was going on inside.
But when she was closing the door, she suddenly found an extra pair of eyes on the window next to her. She immediately felt her heart tremble and quickly closed the door.
Seeing Xuemei's actions, Princess Rui rolled her eyes and said, "Xuemei, what's delicious today?"
Xuemei hurriedly turned around and blinked guiltily, "Well, today we have mushroom stewed chicken, braised pork, and a dish of boiled vegetables, all of which are cooked for you by my servant. My dear, please come over and eat."
Princess Rui raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Really? Let me take a look."
As she said that, she had already walked to the meals.
She first glanced at the food on the table, then gave Xuemei a meaningful look.
As soon as Princess Rui looked at Xuemei, Xuemei ran away with a guilty conscience, and the expression on her face was extremely unnatural.
Princess Rui said: "Yes, these dishes smell very fragrant, Xuemei, thank you for your hard work!"
As she said that, she suddenly took Xuemei's hand, pressed her on the chair, and said: "There are so many delicious dishes that I can't finish by myself. Come on, you and I can eat together!"
"Ah, no!" Xuemei jumped up in fear and said in horror, "Princess, I am just a servant, how can I deserve to eat with you? You should eat it yourself!"
