I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Zihao knelt in front of Hai Yanqing, tears streaming down his face.

"Young Master, Young Master! I was wrong!" Zihao grabbed his boots, but he threw them away.

"Master! I did all this for you!" Zihao's voice was filled with indignation and humility.

"For me? You did it for yourself, right?" Hai Yanqing was very disappointed with his friend.

"Sir...it's not...I'm not..." Zihao sat on the ground, her makeup was smudged by her tears, her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely disheveled.

"I didn't ask you to be cruel. You acted on your own and you want me to clean up your mess?" Hai Yanqing looked at her upset. He didn't understand why this palace maid would suddenly go against his wishes and suddenly increase the dosage of the medicine to kill the princess.

He clearly... didn't want to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Sir! You don't understand! The princess cannot live without you. If the princess asks His Majesty for an arranged marriage, you will have no room to maneuver. I am doing this for you! Your bright future cannot be ruined by her!"

Zihao knew that she had done something that could not be undone, but she could not tolerate that day to come.

For Hai Yanqing, and also... for her own selfishness, a tiny bit of insignificant selfishness.

"Sir, His Royal Highness invites you to visit the princess in the palace."

A servant's voice came from outside the door.

"Got it. I will go to the palace immediately." Hai Yanqing glanced at Zihao who was crying on the ground, turned around and said lightly.

"Young Master..." Zihao shouted in despair.

"You go back. Get there before me. I hope you didn't leave any clues." Hai Yanqing said without even turning his head.

Zihao sobbed and got up, shouting stubbornly: "Don't worry, sir, I have put everything away. I would rather die than let you down!"

When Hai Yanqing met the prince, the prince was sitting in the hall with his eyes closed and resting.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Hai Yanqing bowed to the Crown Prince respectfully.

Seeing him coming, the prince opened his eyes, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to a gentle smile: "Come on, no need to be polite, go see her."

"Yes." Hai Yanqing looked carefully and saw that there was no sign of Zi Ha.

Maybe inside. He walked in.

"Second Young Master." Jiang Xingkuo stepped aside when he saw him coming.

"Why are you the only one here?" Hai Yanqing had a bad feeling.

"Who else do you hope for, sir?" Jiang Xingkuo looked up at him blankly, which made Hai Yanqing feel uneasy.

"How is the princess?" Hai Yanqing did not answer her directly, but sat down beside the bed.

Looking at An Huanyan's beautiful sleeping face, he couldn't help but reach out to touch those petal-like lips.

"Second son!"

He woke up as if from a dream, turned around and saw Jiang Xingkuo's eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat him.

He withdrew his hand angrily and rubbed his thigh.

"Let's be frank, Second Young Master, I want the antidote." Jiang Xingkuo walked up to him and stretched out his hand.

Hai Yanqing looked at her, and for some reason his heart was inexplicably shaken.

Her dull face was adorned with a pair of alluring fox eyes, and her tall and delicate nose gave her face an eerie beauty.

After a long while, he spoke calmly, "What is the girl talking about?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Zihao has been captured by the prince and is being interrogated now." Jiang Xingkuo saw that she was playing dumb and hit her with a heavy hammer.

Hai Yanqing glanced outside and found that there was no one there. The prince was also nowhere to be seen.

Zihao has always been meticulous in his work and should not have left any clues.

But he was still a little uncertain, so he could only ask tentatively: "Oh? What did Zihao do? I don't understand what the girl is talking about?"

Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and suddenly swung at him.

Hai Yanqing had always been a martial artist. He just stood there and raised his hand to catch her fist with his whole big hand.

She was anxious and angry, and quickly retracted her fist. Her eyes were red, but she still refused to give up and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? When the prince finds out about you, you will be the one who will be in trouble! Zihao just met you before, you can't get away with it!"

"Thank you for your concern, young lady. Zi Bu just called me to come visit the princess in advance. After all, I grew up with the princess, and the princess thinks highly of me. That's why Zi Bu was a little anxious. It was because of her respect for the princess that she was so anxious."

Hai Yanqing had already prepared his excuse.

Zihao came to him in a hurry after the accident. Although he was furious, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he could only force himself to make up an excuse and cover up the matter.

Jiang Xingkuo smiled coldly: "Don't pretend. She thought she took the teapot away. Let me tell you! I had already replaced it when she wasn't paying attention! A woman who has her eyes only on you is bound to make mistakes."

Seeing that he remained calm, Jiang Xingkuo approached him again, stared at him and said, "You thought that you took advantage of Huanyan's physical weakness to replenish her body and secretly increased the dosage of the tonic. Your move backfired on her. She was too weak to be replenished, and then she lost both her qi and blood and passed out. Hai Yanqing, you really played a good chess game!"

Every word she said hit his heart hard.

Why? She had only known the princess for less than a month.

Hai Yanqing's mouth twitched for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and replied nonchalantly, "Even if you have evidence, you can't blame me for this. The princess is so beautiful and has a body as precious as gold and jade. I have long yearned for her, so why would I want to harm her?"

"Humph." Jiang Xingkuo snorted coldly, unable to bear his sophistry. "You must have said the opposite! The princess has fallen in love with you since she was a child, but you have been indifferent and disdainful. As the princess grows up, the emperor has also thought about arranging a marriage for her. As the second son of the prime minister's family, you are not afraid of anything, and you have everything you need."

She raised her head and narrowed her eyes, with thousands of sword-like rays of light shooting out of her eyes, as if they were going to pierce him to pieces.

"Once the princess marries you, according to the previous laws of the Jin Kingdom, the prince consort cannot serve as an official in the court. Then you will lose your official position, your power, and everything you are proud of!"

Hai Yanqing's expression finally relaxed. He looked away from Jiang Xingkuo.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Xingkuo took advantage of the situation and pursued: "Hand over the prescription, otherwise I will alert the prince, and then you won't be able to escape."

Hai Yanqing smiled contemptuously: "Miss Jiang is very interesting. It's just a maid's wishful thinking, love turns to hate, how can it have anything to do with me?"

This means the gecko will have to cut off its tail and sacrifice its purple hair.

"You...you devil!" Jiang Xingkuo was so angry that he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
