She glanced at the bangle and raised a brow, "this is made from high-quality jade. Why would it be tacky? If I did not know better, I would think you were jealous".

"Luckily you know better. The Crown Prince like his mother is fond of killing people with poison. It is one of his milder ways of getting rid of people. Don't keep things from people like that so close".

Liqiu quickly shrugged the bangle off her wrist, she hissed as an edge of the bangle cut her wrist.

Nie Shaoqing grabbed her wrist and squeezed the cut onto his handkerchief. He squeeze the cut until all the dark red blood spilt out and a lighter shade of blood rolled out.
