Chapter 95: No Entry

solemn voice, "Your Highness, please focus on your studies for now and temporarily relinquish the authority of acting regent."Several high-ranking officials from the court, such as Wang Tenghuan and...Chapter 95: No Entry Allowed

The lush greenery outside the door walked back and forth for how many circles, I couldn't tell.

I don't know how many times, she wanted to push the door open.

She always felt that letting the princess and that stranger who looked like a bad guy be alone together was a very dangerous move.

It's like putting a juicy piece of steak in a cage with a starving wolf.

And the princess's exclamation just now amplified Hun Cui Xin's anxiety even further.

But the princess said again that she wouldn't let herself go in.

No matter how close she was to the princess, she dared not disobey her orders as a servant.

But that worry and anxiety grew worse and worse, making Huancui's heart feel like it was about to be torn apart.

Unable to resist, Huancui quietly pressed her ear against the door to listen, but alas, the noisy environment of the wine shop made it difficult for her to hear clearly.

Just as she was about to give up, she suddenly heard a very faint sound coming from the private room.

Having never experienced these things, she didn't understand what the voices meant.

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't imagine how lively the scene inside the private room was at this moment.

While Li Chen was having a sensual time at the winehouse, Zhao Rui had already returned to the Baicai Hall in the East Palace where she resided.

"All of you, get out. No one is allowed in without my order."

Zhao Rui waved her hand, signaling all the maids attending her to leave.

She walked nervously into the bedroom and took out a bottle of medicine and a piece of paper from a secret compartment.

Looking at the two things in her hand, Zhao Rui's mind flashed with all sorts of memories of Li Chen.

As the prince's absolute domineering.

As cunning as a fox, the politician.

As the Crown Prince, his benevolence and compassion.

A myriad of images flashed and intertwined.

She didn't dare to poison Li Chen with poison, but she was even more afraid to confess everything to him.

She is afraid of death.

>She was even more afraid that Li Chen would use those extremely cruel methods to torture her.

If Ke Ru doesn't do it, Zhao Xuanji will certainly not let her go.

Caught between two options, Zhao Rui was in immense pain.

Looking up at the snowflakes falling outside the window, Zhao Rui suddenly remembered Li Chen's words, "Plant more plum blossoms..."

She resolutely pulled the cork out of the vial of poison, pouring its contents out the window where they melted into the snow.

And the note, she had placed it on top of the candle and burned it to ashes.

After doing all that, Zhao Rui suddenly felt a sense of relief wash over her.

No matter what, she's now a Consort of the Crown Prince. Zhao Xuanji wants to get rid of her, but he has to get past the Crown Prince first. And if it really gets to that point, she's going to die anyway.

It's better than being tortured to death by Li Chen.

Zhao Rui didn't want to die. Driven by this intense desire to survive, she made what she believed to be the most correct choice.

"Someone is here."

When the palace maids came in respectfully, Zhao Rui was already sitting on a soft bed, looking out at the snowy scenery.

Earlier, the Crown Prince said he wanted to plant more plum blossoms. You should send someone to arrange it. I want this entire courtyard to be filled with blooming plum blossoms.

Having said that, Zhao Rui pointed to a shattered bottle and a pile of ashes on the table, saying indifferently, "Take these out and throw them away as far as possible."

"I obey your command."

The palace maid paid her respects with a bow, and naturally someone stepped forward to clean up the trash, while others went out to find people to plant plum blossoms.

A palace maid who was usually quite close to Zhao Rui walked over, glanced at her, and exclaimed in surprise, “Your Highness, why are you sweating all over Should I prepare some hot water for you to bathe”

With a huge weight lifted off her chest, Zhao Rui felt much more relaxed. She realized she was drenched in sweat and chuckled, saying, "Well then, let's get ready." you for your help today."Su Zhen Ting hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness, you flatter me. It's all as it should be."Silent smiled and Li Chen said, "Then trouble General Su...
