"What are you afraid of? I don't regard you as a servant. Now that you are my good sister, of course we must share the blessings and eat together." Princess Rui said with a smile.
"There's really no need! You can't go out of your way as a servant. Princess, please eat quickly!" Xuemei said nervously.
"Okay! Then I'll eat it myself!" Princess Rui said, sitting down at the table and starting to eat the food on the table.
She ate leisurely and looked calm, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Seeing her starting to eat, Xuemei quickly looked out the window and found that the owner of those eyes finally left with satisfaction, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Princess Rui ate half of the meal.
After eating, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Xuemei, I'm done eating!"
"Mother, are you full?" Xuemei asked hurriedly.
"Well, the food you cooked is delicious. I ate more today than usual." Princess Rui said.
"Really? Madam, you can just eat it if you like. I will cook it for you next time," Xuemei said with a smile.
Princess Rui frowned, her expression resentful and lonely, "I don't know if I can wait until next time."
"Empress, you...what do you mean?" Xuemei said nervously.
Princess Rui smiled lightly and said, "What do you think? Now that I've eaten the food and drank the soup, it's time to die from the poison, right?"
"Ah... Madam, what are you talking about?" Xuemei said in panic.
Princess Rui said quietly: "Xuemei, stop pretending! In the past, you could listen to the prince's orders and give me red flowers, but now you can also listen to his orders and give me poison. This meal has been poisoned by you, isn't it?
no?"
When Xuemei heard this, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Princess Rui. She quickly glanced outside and found that no one was peeking, then whispered: "Princess Mingjian, if this slave really poisoned you, why are you now?"
Will it be okay?"
Princess Rui narrowed her eyes suddenly, "So, you didn't poison me?"
Xuemei nodded quickly, "It's absolutely true, I really didn't poison you. Yes, the prince did give me a bottle of poison and asked me to put it in your food, but I didn't do it at all."
"Why? If you don't poison me to death, I'm afraid the prince will not let you go." Princess Rui said coldly.
Xuemei said: "Even if I poison you to death, the prince will not let me go. The prince told me that as long as I poison you to death, he will announce to the public that you committed suicide by taking poison, so that the Zhou family cannot find him."
Trouble. But I know that if someone doubts the cause of your death, the prince will definitely regard me as a scapegoat and push me out to die! Anyway, we are all going to die, so I might as well play it safe and work with the princess to find a way to survive.
"
Hearing this, Princess Rui's heart was piercing her spine, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
She suddenly stood up and chuckled: "Hahaha, Chu Ruochen, Chu Ruochen, you are so cruel to me, you don't even care about the relationship between husband and wife, you want to kill me so much. They say that a hundred couples live together in one day.
Rien, how can you be so heartless?"
If she had some expectations for Prince Rui before, now, she only feels disappointed and cold towards Prince Rui.
I didn't expect that the dispute between the couple would reach this level.
Xuemei thought for a while and then said: "Not only that, the prince also said that there is no antidote for this poison, and you will definitely die if you take it, so I will not poison you."
When Princess Rui heard this, she felt even more disappointed and desolate. She laughed to herself and said: "There is no antidote? I didn't expect that his cruelty to me was beyond my imagination. He really didn't show mercy at all."
!”
At this time, Xuemei asked doubtfully: "Princess, how did you know that this slave was going to poison you? Since you felt that there was something wrong with the food, why did you still eat it? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned and dying?"
Princess Rui raised her eyes faintly, "Chu Ruochen killed my child and deceived me for so many years. I don't want to live anymore! I was thinking just now that since he wants me to die so much, then I will be like him.
I want to see if he regrets it! If he feels bad!"
As she said this, Princess Rui smiled mockingly.
"What?" Xuemei was shocked. It turned out that the princess had thoughts of seeking death again!
No wonder she ate these meals even though she was full of doubts.
Princess Rui raised her lips with self-mockery on her face, "It just looks like, even if I die, he won't regret it, let alone feel bad, but he will be very happy!"
Xuemei sighed sadly when she heard this.
At this time, Princess Rui said: "Xuemei, you obviously didn't drug me, why were you so panicked just now?"
She saw it right away!
Xuemei glanced out the window warily and whispered: "Princess, when I brought the food in just now, there was a guard peeking outside the window. I know that the guard must be the prince's man, and he must be afraid that I won't give it to you.
The poison will make the guard stare at me, so of course I have to confuse him."
Princess Rui was shocked, "I see, that person has left now, right?"
Xuemei nodded quickly, "Well, I saw him walking away just now, so I dared to tell you the truth."
As she spoke, she said worriedly: "But Princess, the prince asked me to poison you. Now that I haven't completed the task, he will definitely not let me go. And if he didn't poison you this time, he will definitely think of something else."
I have tried to harm you, what should we do now!"
Seeing that Xuemei was so worried about her, Princess Rui held Xuemei's hand and said, "Xuemei, are you really willing to follow me? Will you work with me to find a way to survive?"
Xuemei nodded firmly, "Of course, the prince doesn't even care about you, let alone a servant? In the prince's heart, the slave is just an abandoned child. Following him will only lead to death; the slave can only survive by following the princess."
"Okay!" Princess Rui narrowed her eyes coldly and gritted her teeth, "Since you are willing to follow me, I will find a way to leave this place with you. After we leave Prince Rui's Mansion, I will find a way to deal with him!"
She had lost her fighting spirit before and had wanted to die for a hundred times.
But now she suddenly doesn't want to die!
If Prince Rui wants her to die so much, then she will not die. Not only will she not die, but she will kill him!
Xuemei said worriedly: "But Princess, there are heavy troops guarding the outside now. The palace is like an iron wall. We can't get out at all. How can we leave here?"
Princess Rui narrowed her eyes coldly and said calmly: "I have a method here, which may be useful. Come here and I will tell you..."
"Okay." Xuemei hurried over.
Then, Princess Rui whispered a few words into Xuemei's ear.
After Xuemei heard this, her pupils suddenly widened with shock on her face.
-
"The princess took poison, come here, the princess took poison and committed suicide!" After a while, the guards who were talking outside suddenly heard a scream coming from Princess Rui's room.
"What happened? What happened to the princess?" The guards couldn't hear clearly for a while, and they were all very confused.
At this time, Xuemei's cry came from inside again, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! The princess committed suicide by taking poison. The princess is out of breath!"
"What? The princess committed suicide by taking poison?" When the guards heard this, they quickly opened the door and rushed in quickly.
