The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao clenched his fists tightly and slammed them on the table, angrily saying, "Dong Sicheng, you old thief, you deserve to be killed. I swear I will never let you live and continue to abuse these innocent people."

Seeing that Qin Hao was angry, A Yue and Feng Lao hurried forward to persuade him.

After Qin Hao calmed down a little, he asked Xiaodie in a deep voice, "Miss Xiaodie, are you willing to live your whole life under the shadow of the Dong family father and daughter? Haven't you ever thought about getting rid of this kind of life and finding a new way out? Don't you long to get married and have children one day and live a normal life?"

Faced with Qin Hao's three soul-searching questions in rapid succession, Xiaodie was completely stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Qin Hao stared into her eyes and continued, "Think about your sisters. They are still being ravaged by Dong Sicheng and those ministers, living a life worse than pigs and dogs. Don't you feel a little bit of pity and anger in your heart?"

"You are all right. Your fate should not be like this. You have the right to pursue your own happiness. Even if you cannot live a life of wealth and honor, at least you should have your own freedom and dignity, just like a bird in the sky, flying freely and unrestrained..."

"Freedom?" Xiaodie murmured to herself, repeating the word in a low voice, a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes, as if a door was slowly opening in her heart.

Ah Yue also stood up without flinching and said righteously: "Your Highness is right. You should decide your own destiny instead of becoming a pawn in the hands of others."

"Each of us women should have the right to pursue our own lives, just like me. Although I am also a killer, I chose His Highness and justice, so I was able to gain His Highness's trust and favor, and also found my own happiness. So I hope you can turn back from your mistakes, abandon the dark and join the light, and never be an accomplice to the evil and help the tyrants to commit atrocities."

Qin Hao witnessed Ah Yue's performance, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that although Ah Yue's words were simple, they could easily resonate with Xiao Die and touch her confused heart.

"But Master Dong and his men are extremely cruel. I grew up in a dark environment. Once they find out that I have betrayed them, I will probably die without a burial place..." Xiaodie said with a trembling voice. It was obvious that she still had a deep fear of Dong Sicheng and Dong Meir.

Qin Hao interrupted her and whispered, "Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned! Do you understand, Xiaodie?"

"I'll tell you the truth! The Dong family is already on my list of people to be wiped out. Sooner or later, I will catch them all in one fell swoop. If you can turn from evil to good, I will rescue all of your sisters and give you freedom. This is an opportunity, Xiaodie, a chance for you to regain your freedom."

Xiaodie lowered her eyes, spoke softly, and kept repeating in her heart: "If it's for freedom, both can be thrown away." Although her voice was small, she was no longer confused, and even revealed a firmness and determination.

Qin Hao stared at Xiaodie quietly, with a satisfied smile in his eyes. He knew that he had planted the seeds of freedom in Xiaodie's heart, and once it took root and sprouted, he would be able to capture her loyal heart.

So, Qin Hao chose to wait patiently, no longer rushing, and patiently waited for her answer.

Finally, Xiaodie raised her head, her eyes were firm and bright, as if she had made an important decision. She kowtowed respectfully to Qin Hao and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the opportunity to be free. For those sisters who have suffered and for the desire for freedom in my heart, Xiaodie is willing to serve Your Highness at all costs, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and will never back down."

She paused, raised her finger, and swore, "If you disobey this promise, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with appreciation and satisfaction. He knew that he had successfully won over another loyal partner, and this was the key to him getting into the enemy and bringing down the Dong family.

However, to ensure that there was no risk of error, he decided to test her once more. He waved at Ah Yue and said a few words to her mysteriously.

After listening to this, A Yue left quietly. However, she came back soon with a small black pill in her hand.

She handed the small black pill to Xiaodie and said in a deep voice: "This pill contains the deadly poison of Datura, which is exactly the poison that the Crown Prince was poisoned with. But please rest assured, we already have the antidote. As long as you are obedient, we will give you the antidote on time. Now, are you willing to take it?"

Xiaodie took a look at the black pill and put it into her mouth without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Ah Yue nodded with satisfaction, her bright eyes sparkling with admiration and praise. She clapped her hands and praised sincerely, "Miss Xiao Die is so courageous, Ah Yue admires her."

After she finished speaking, like a magic trick, an identical small black pill appeared in her hand again. She casually threw it into her mouth and tasted it carefully, with a mischievous smile on her face. She blinked and said to Qin Hao jokingly, "Your Highness, my second sister's medicine preparation skills are getting better and better. It's not bitter at all. I also heard her say that this medicine nourishes yin and yang, and it is very nourishing and has a very good effect. Would you like to try one?"

Qin Hao smiled slightly when he heard this, and whispered, "Give one to me and Old Feng as well."

"Ah? This is not poison!" Xiaodie asked hurriedly with a flash of surprise in her eyes when she heard it.

Qin Hao raised a sly smile and said, "Miss Xiaodie, that was just a small test for you. Don't take it seriously."

Xiaodie bowed respectfully, her tone full of gratitude, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Even if you ask me to die immediately, I will not complain at all."

"You are such a beautiful girl, and you are also so good at martial arts. How could I bear to let you die?"

Qin Hao shook his head gently, with a meaningful smile on his face. "Miss Xiaodie, since you were forced to do this, I have decided to spare your life. However, there is a chance for you to atone for your sins. Do you dare to do it?"

Xiaodie smiled brightly upon hearing this, with a determined light in her eyes. She answered without hesitation, "Your Highness, please tell me what you want me to do. I will do my best to live up to your trust."
