You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

A hint of violence flashed across Xiao Yan's dark eyes, and he reached out and fiercely pulled her up from the ground:

"Lin Zhaoyue, if you kneel again, I will break your legs."

Xiao Yun was a martial artist himself, and when he pulled so hard, there was a sound of bones shifting, and Lin Zhaoyue's arm was dislocated.

The whole palm hung limply, without any strength.

A fishy and sweet taste surged up her throat, and Lin Zhaoyue forced herself to swallow it down.

She seemed to feel no pain and didn't even groan.

She held various pieces of evidence in her hands, saying nothing, waiting for Xiao Yan's next punishment.

Anyway, she won't live long, so he can do whatever he wants to her.

"Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and then said:

"Whatever the prince wants to hear, this servant can tell you."

He wanted her to be obedient, but when she really obeyed, Xiao Yan felt annoyed.

Now she is just a puppet in his hands, at his mercy.

Soulless!

There is a dead air in the air.

"Lin Zhaoyue, if you dare to murder the crown prince, you should have thought about the consequences today."

"Yes, the prince taught me that."

Lin Zhaoyue lowered her head and looked amiable, without any temper at all.

Obviously she had been very well behaved, but Xiao Yan was even more dissatisfied.

"Lin Zhaoyue, if I asked you to die at this moment, would you die too?"

"Yes."

Lin Zhaoyue answered without hesitation.

"Good one."

Xiao Yan suddenly laughed, raised his hand and threw a dagger to her:

"Come, give Gu Si a look."

Cheng Liang's dagger fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at the dagger on the ground, without any hesitation, squatted down to pick it up, and stabbed her neck directly with her hand.

This madman!

If you ask her to die, she will really dare to die.

When the dagger was about to pierce Lin Zhaoyue's fragile cervical vertebra, Xiao Yun dodged and grabbed the dagger.

The sharp blade cut his flesh and blood flowed from his palm.

There are only two kinds of people who dare to die, either they care too much or they care too little.

And Lin Zhaoyue is exactly the former.

There are too many things she can't let go of, and too many weaknesses. He can easily control her by picking out any one of them.

"Lin Zhaoyue, you are so brave!"

Lin Zhaoyue didn't even blink, and just said:

"I will do whatever the prince says, as long as he can let the Lin family and Qingzhu go."

There is only the Lin family and Qingzhu in her heart.

Xiao Yan sneered, threw away the dagger, and said coldly:

"Come and give me medicine."

Xiao Yan sat upright in front of the desk and stretched out his bleeding hand.

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes moved slightly and she took a bottle of medicine.

First, he skillfully cleaned the blood on his hands, then sprinkled medicine on them, and then bandaged them.

Looking at her skilled appearance, Xiao Yun's dark eyes deepened slightly.

She is obviously the apple of Duke Lin's eye. Logically, she should not have to do housework. So why can she not only cook but also bandage so skillfully?

It seemed like I had done it a million times before.

When Lin Zhaoyue finished tying the knot, Xiao Yan pinched her chin:

"Since you are so good at serving others, you can be my personal maid from now on!"

The high-and-mighty daughter of the Duke's Mansion had fallen to the level of a lowly maid; this was the punishment he gave her for daring to poison him.

He was looking forward to seeing the expression of humiliation on Lin Zhaoyue's face.

What disappointed Xiao Yan was that her face was like a pool of stagnant water, without a single unnecessary expression.

The irritation in my heart rose again.

"Lin Zhaoyue, don't make me look so desperate. You were involved in everything. You are not innocent.

First, you poisoned me and Liu Yiyi with love poison, trying to push me to Liu Yiyi, then you assassinated me in Chunlie, faked my death, and then you poisoned me with nightmare poison, making me dream about you all the time, dreaming about marrying you, falling in love with you, and having children with you..."

Get married, fall in love, have children...

It really was a dream!

In their previous life, they did get married, but they never loved each other, and she always loved him one-sidedly.

Although she once thought that they had loved each other during the three years he was demoted, she later discovered that it was just her wishful thinking.

Xiao Yan's heart has never been with her.

Not to mention having a child, her child died when he was eight months old. How could she have had a child?

I don't know what kind of poison this is that could make him dream about these things. From this point of view, she is indeed the most suspicious.

No wonder he thought that the poison was cast by her.

"Lin Zhaoyue, you want to push me to another woman, you want me to die, but you also want me to love you. What exactly do you want?"

This is the question that Xiao Yan has always been puzzled about.

If you take each of Lin Zhaoyue's actions separately, if it were anyone else, ten heads wouldn't be enough for him to chop off, but when it came to Lin Zhaoyue.

For some reason, he always felt more doubtful than angry.

Lin Zhaoyue was about to kneel down, but then she remembered what Xiao Yan had just said, that if she knelt again he would break her legs, so she cupped her hands and said:

"I deserve to die a thousand times! For what I have done, even a thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for it..."

If Xiao Yun were to use one sentence to describe Lin Zhaoyue at this moment, it would be "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water."

Does she think that she is not afraid of death and can do whatever he wants to her?

"If you don't tell the truth, I will order you to be beaten to death with a bamboo stick."

His voice was light and fluttery, but it carried a malicious, direct threat.

His dark eyes were mocking, mocking her naivety.

Lin Zhaoyue, did she really think that as long as she was not afraid of death, he would be unable to do anything to her?

All her weak spots were in his hands at the moment. He only needed to apply a little force to make her suffer excruciating pain.

Lin Zhaoyue's face turned pale. After a while, she slowly spoke:

“Because I know that the Crown Prince has always liked Miss Liu. Although I am stupid, I also know that if the Crown Prince’s heart is not with me, even if we get married in the future, it will definitely be a couple of resentment.

It’s all your fault for being stupid. I didn’t know it before and I even pestered the prince and forced the emperor to grant me marriage.

But by the time I realized it, it was too late.

When the Royal Court poisoned the Crown Prince and Miss Liu with love, it was with the sincere intention of bringing them together. The Crown Prince and Miss Liu are in tune with each other, and they certainly don't want Miss Liu's reputation to be damaged, so they will ask the Emperor to grant you two a marriage. In this way, it will be like when the Crown Prince and I called off the engagement, and it won't implicate the sisters in the clan.

During the spring hunt, it was I who was deceived. Given the prince's intelligence, he must know who that person was.

It was not my intention to fake my death. The reason was that after I fell off the cliff, I was seriously injured and had been in a coma. When I woke up, the news spreading outside was that I had died.

Besides, I was poisoned and wouldn't live for more than a month, so I just let it go.

As for the nightmare poison, I don’t know what it is. Everything I said is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will die in my womb and my husband will die…”

Xiao Yun was so angry that he almost laughed.

Was she cursing him?

And cursed in front of him!

But the amazing thing is that he wasn't angry at all.

Instead, seeing her quietly stretch out her claws, I felt a sense of comfort all over.

Could this also be the effect of the nightmare poison?

Xiao Yan frowned and interrupted her words as she was about to curse all three generations of his ancestors:

"The nightmare poison uses the blood of the person who took the drug as a guide, which will make the person fall into a beautiful dream made up by the other person, and the person in the dream has always been you.

So, Lin Zhaoyue, you are lying!"

She had to say it, but even if she did, I wouldn't believe her.

Lin Zhaoyue sneered:

"Then Your Highness, is it possible that the person who treated you was lying?"

"Mr. Li? Impossible."

This was the man in her previous life. She disregarded everything and was willing to love and get close to him like a moth to a flame.

I would rather trust a doctor than her.

Xiao Yun noticed Lin Zhaoyue's expression, and the depression in his heart rushed out again.

He did not continue the topic, looked at the pears on the table, and said:

"I want to eat pears."

What Lin Zhaoyue said were half true and half false, and the real thing was what he knew. As for what he didn't know, he would make her tell the truth one day.

Lin Zhaoyue picked up the pear on the tray and handed it to him.

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and glanced at the pear, but didn't take it.

He didn't say anything either, just looked at Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Zhaoyue immediately understood what he meant, which was to ask her to peel the skin.

She pursed her lips slightly and picked up a knife from the tray.

Her hands were weak and it was only a simple act of peeling the fruit, but now she found it very difficult to do.

Even if I tried my best, I could only carve out a small piece.

She pursed her lips and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xiao Yan finally discovered something was wrong and said:

"what happened to you?"

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, her voice was very calm:

"It's alright, Your Highness. It's just a dislocated hand."

It's just a dislocated hand!

Xiao Yan clenched his teeth unconsciously, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

Then he remembered that he was pulling her just now. Could it be that was when she dislocated her joint?

She has remained silent until now:

"Lin Zhaoyue, are you mute?"

"Your Highness, no."

Very good, every sentence has a response.

But Xiao Yan felt like his lungs were about to explode because of her anger.

"Let Mr. Li come over."

After Mr. Li came over, he first adjusted Lin Zhaoyue's bones and then took her pulse.

"Did Miss Lin not take her medicine at night?"

Lin Zhaoyue nodded.

Xiao Yan was both annoyed and impatient.

He still remembered that because the nightmare poison was still there in the past two days, he was particularly doting on Lin Zhaoyue. Every time it was time to take medicine, he would hold her and feed her medicine.

It's only been two days, and she's already become arrogant because of the favor?

She won’t eat if he doesn’t feed her?

"Since Miss Lin didn't take the medicine, then take this antidote I prepared! You may vomit black blood after taking it, but that is a normal detoxification phenomenon. Miss Lin doesn't need to worry."

Lin Zhaoyue nodded.

Less than an hour after drinking the medicine prepared by Li Laoxin, he actually vomited two mouthfuls of black blood.

After vomiting blood, she obviously felt much better, but strangely, she could also feel physically tired.

After vomiting blood, Lin Zhaoyue went to the kitchen to make lotus seed porridge for Xiao Yan.

He really treated her as his personal maid, asking her to serve him tea, grind for him, and cook porridge for him.

While cooking the porridge, Lin Zhaoyue really wanted to spit out a few saliva, but someone was staring at her.

This person was sent by Xiao Yan specifically to keep an eye on her, for fear that she would poison the food again.

Lin Zhaoyue had just brought the porridge to the study when she heard the conversation between Feng Xin and Xiao Yan:

"Your Highness, Miss Liu has returned to the Huguo Temple."

"Return to Huguo Temple?"

Xiao Yan paused for a while, then said:

"I grew up with her in Huguo Temple. She suffered so much injustice this time that she must have gone back and cried secretly.

I will go to Huguo Temple in person tomorrow to bring Yiyi back..."

Liu Yiyi.

Lin Zhaoyue tightened her grip on the tray.

Before she could leave, Xiao Yan's voice came over:

"What are you doing sneaking around outside? Get in here!"

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips tightly and stepped in.

Feng Xin glanced at her and said:

"Your Highness, I will take my leave."

After Feng Xin left, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Zhaoyue:

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue nod, Xiao Yan said indifferently:

"I will go to Huguo Temple to pick up Yiyi tomorrow. Yiyi likes lotus seed porridge the most. Please prepare some for her tomorrow."

A hint of shame flashed across Lin Zhaoyue's eyes. Xiao Yan asked her to cook for her enemy. He was so cruel!

She clenched her back teeth and said:

"Your Highness, please let someone else do it! I am poisoned and I am afraid that the poison will be passed on to Miss Liu."

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids, and his thin lips curled up in a cool arc:

"Lin Zhaoyue, do you think you have a choice?"

"If you hadn't poisoned me, why would I have hurt Yiyi?"

"You are no longer the apple of the Duke's eye, but my personal maid. You have no right to refuse."

At the end, a hint of cruelty flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes:

"Also, since you are a personal maid, you should call yourself a slave, not a servant."

Satisfied to see Lin Zhaoyue's finger bones turning white, Xiao Yun then reached out to take the lotus seed porridge on the tray.

Those who do wrong must be punished!

Lin Zhaoyue bit her tongue hard until she tasted blood, then she resisted the urge to grab the tray and slam it on Xiao Yan's head.

Think about the Duke's Mansion, think about Qingzhu...

She has to endure it.

Even if Xiao Yan fed her a pile of shit at this moment, she would grit her teeth and swallow it.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Xiao Yan paused while drinking his porridge, glanced at her with his dark eyes, and then said:

"Go and run the water. I want to take a bath later."

"Yes."

Lin Zhaoyue stepped back and went to the bathroom to run the shower for Xiao Yan.

She dislocated her joint today, and even though Mr. Li pushed it back in place, she still couldn't exert much strength.

She could only carry the water little by little until the tub was seven-tenths full. After she sprinkled the flowers, she went to call Xiao Yan.

"Your Highness, the water is ready."

Xiao Yan nodded, put down his pen, got up and went to the bathroom.

When they arrived at the bathroom, seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Yun glanced at her and said:

"Why don't you come over here and serve me?"

"Serve?"

Lin Zhaoyue was stunned. What did Xiao Yun mean?

But she remembered that no matter in his past life or this life, Xiao Yan didn't like others to help him take a bath.

Taking a bath is a very private matter for him.

Except when he was in a good mood, he would carry her to the bathtub and bully her until she cried.

"Why? A personal maid is responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation. Do you want me to teach you?"

Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and said nothing, not knowing how to refuse.

Because she knew that no matter how she refused, Xiao Yan would always have a way to make her act according to his words.

"What are you still standing there for? Come over and help me undress."

"three two……"

Lin Zhaoyue didn't wait for him to count to one and hurried over.

Although she had served Xiao Yan like this in her previous life, the feeling in this life was different for her.

In the previous life, voluntary.

In this life, I am forced.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue's hands shaking as she untied his belt, Xiao Yan's faint voice came over:

"Lin Zhaoyue, I didn't expect you would be afraid too!"

For some reason, Lin Zhaoyue suddenly asked:

"Prince, have you ever been served by Miss Liu like this?"

Xiao Yan frowned and said in an unhappy tone:

"Yiyi is different from you. You are not worthy of mentioning her."
