Chu Qianli could have deceived her, and at least, she could have saved her life at this moment.
Moreover, deception is common in warfare, and it was not the first time she had tried it.
But at this moment, for some reason, Chu Qianli just didn't want to compromise.
Had Yexuan already compromised to Hua Rong? It was because he was her son.
Even a noble person like the Prince had to compromise for the sake of this kinship.
But why should she?
"I have studied Feng Qihe's Poisonous Insect Poison, and I have promised to cure him of it, unless I myself do not wish to. Otherwise, no one can force me."
"What did you say?" Hua Rong's face instantly darkened.
Although separated by a black veil, and Chu Qianli could not clearly see her features, just from her eyes exposed outside, she could tell that Hua Rong was furious.
"Say it again!" Hua Rong gritted her teeth.
"How so? Hasn't anyone ever defied you over all these years?"
