บท 444: Overstepping Boundaries

Li Xueyue believed in the First Prince's words, but she was not a fool. Words were meaningless and held no weight. Anyone could always take it back, claiming it never happened.

"Alright, please wait here," Li Xueyue stated. 

The First Prince scrunched his brows and scratched the side of his head in confusion. "Why?" he asked.

"You'll see." 

He opened his mouth to ask more questions, but she exited from the bamboo screen. The First Prince suddenly realized she did not address him with a proper title. It felt weird. Everyone always treated him with respect, regardless of the position he had lost. But she didn't.

"She's bold." The First Prince peered at her bowl of medicine, which was still full, but with less steam rising from the top. It was just a drink, yet it was used against him like this. He could not believe she had used this to her advantage.
