Chapter 609: Ali, Not a Name You Can Casually Call

Xiaoyao was very hesitant.

She knew that continuing to deceive him would definitely anger him.

When that happened, it wouldn't matter if she was the one in trouble; she feared that Fu Ning, who was bedridden and seriously ill, would suffer.

However, Prince Yexuan knew that Fu Ning was right here but chose not to expose her.

Could this mean that the Prince before her... wasn't entirely a bad person?

"Prince, I can't say," Xiaoyao finally faced his gaze, sincerely saying, "I have promised my master that I must not reveal any news."

"I am someone who values promises, Prince. If you press me further, I can only continue to deceive you with various excuses. Do you wish to hear lies?"

This time, Xiaoyao was truly sincere, lacking any intention of deceit.

If she had promised not to speak, then she must absolutely refrain from doing so; even if it cost her life, she couldn't break her silence.
