Lady Xiaoyao's fist ultimately did not descend upon Mr. Liujin.
In the face of a refined gentleman who harbored no ill will against her and merely followed orders, her heart couldn't harden.
Mr. Liujin wasn't a bad person, simply loyal to his own master.
"Miss, was your throat damaged by drinking poison?"
"What's it to you?" Lady Xiaoyao glared at him, her attitude showing no signs of improvement.
However, Mr. Liujin was already quite content, at least he wasn't beaten.
"I could prescribe some medicine for the miss's treatment..."
"My own medicine is better than yours."
"Alright, miss, I will report those exact words to the Prince, but since you've said as much, if you can't heal your throat quickly, the Prince might just have your master taste some poison for fun."
"You!"
Lady Xiaoyao abruptly stood up.
Standing up too quickly, she actually felt dizzy and almost collapsed.
Mr. Liujin supported her for a moment before quickly retracting his hand.
