"You said you have served the prince in Liushangzhou?"

The queen with a very decent attitude sat on the main seat of the West. She let out a cold question, which made Du Juan twitch his back hard and raised her eyes timidly.

"I remind you to take a good look at what occasion is today." She saw the queen's slender jade fingers bent under her jaw, and she wore three pure gold armors inlaid with jade on her knuckles. The jade color was transparent. "What should I say and what should not be said, but I have to think carefully. Once I say the wrong thing, it will be a loss of my head. Once my head is gone, I will never have the chance to change my words."

The queen's slightly cool pupils were like thin autumn frost. Coupled with her cold tone and expression, the watery jade also gave rise to a bitter cold.

Du Juan seemed to be afraid of her coldness, and looked away timidly and did not dare to look at her again. She was about to withdraw her but was accidentally captured by Feng Qiwu's gaze. His eyes were filled with a shrewd meaning, and it was as if she was silently reminding her of the scene where the two of them were talking in the secret room yesterday.

"Sir, do you want me to come to the palace to meet the emperor and the queen?" She was so scared that she was out of her mind. She retreated back to the corner of the wall while shaking her head, "No... No, sir... If they knew that I was still alive, they would issue an order to execute me immediately..."

Feng Qiwu just looked at her and ran away with cold eyes: "If it were the past, it might have been, but it may not be the case now."

She was stunned: "Why..."

"Don't ask so much, you just need to go to the palace with me and tell what you know." His hand was like a ghost passing through the faint candlelight, and grabbed her wrist in just a moment. "I can guarantee that at least one of the two of the Empress and Sakiko will surely protect you from death."

When she heard the names of these two women, she was so panicked that she wanted to retract her hands but couldn't break free: "Impossible... One of them is the prince's mother and the other is the little princess' mother. I know that, how could they let me go..."

"Because you are going to help them this time, and they are too grateful to you, so how could they kill you?" He increased the strength of his palm, his eyes pressing against each other like a sharp blade.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, becoming increasingly unable to understand.

"I have paved the way for you." He did not explain much, and coldly shook her hand away, "Are you going with me obediently and betting on yourself for a glimmer of life, or are you determined not to follow me and wait for me to tie you into the palace?"

She fell down to him with sobs and kowtows: "Sir... I beg you... don't send me into the palace... You can do whatever you want... As long as you don't let me enter the palace... you can..."

"You don't want to die, so you don't want to enter the palace, but think about it, if I want you to die, there is no need to be so troublesome." As she raised her eyes full of fear, the corners of his lips rose calmly, "I can finish you here, and no one will know."

She was as if she was penetrated by an arrow and her eyes were hurt, but his nightmare voice still did not stop.

"But you can't end it all if you die. Don't forget your elderly parents at home in the small fishing village in Rongxian County..." He leaned over and approached her face with pear blossoms from top to bottom, and his tone was deliberately elongated, "I heard... you seem to have an older brother?"
