Princess Against the World

"The Queen..."

Xue Jie kowtowed deeply and collapsed on the ground, but could not say a word.

Yan Qingzi came slowly and stood in front of her, looking down at her with an expressionless face.

"Xue Jie, where are you going!?"

"I...I just came out for a walk..." Xue Jie's voice was trembling, and she didn't even believe what she said.

"Xue Jie, it was I who rescued you from the water and kept you by my side. I treated you well, so why did you betray me?!"

Xue Jie raised her head in horror: "I didn't betray you..."

"No?? Then where are you going now?"

"I……"

"Are you still going to lie?!"

"..."

Xue Jie was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

She didn't want to admit it, but the Queen's eyes were like daggers, cutting open her heart bit by bit, peering into the deepest and most true secrets inside.

Ling Luoyu turned around and sat down on a stone on the side of the road: "Sister Xue, you are such a smart person, don't you understand what it means to be caught?!"

Xue Jie's eyes suddenly stared away, but she didn't say anything.

Ling Luoyu was speechless and sighed helplessly.

"Do you think, if there is no real evidence, we will stop you here?! There is something you probably don't know, right?! In fact, according to what I mean, people like you who sell their goods for glory should be killed directly. , kill one, and the world will be pure! But the Demon Queen is unwilling!"

Xue Jie's long eyelashes trembled and she didn't dare to look at Yan Qingzi anymore, but her body slumped down as if she was slack.

"The Queen said, no matter what, you have been with her for half her life. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to believe that you are the one who betrayed her! And even now, she doesn't believe that you will betray her... because Therefore, she wants me to give you one last chance...a chance to defend yourself..."

Tears slid down Xue Jie's face, and she slowly closed her eyes, looking desperate.

"I don't want to defend myself... because there are some things that I can't explain, and I don't want to explain them anymore... If you want to blame me, just blame me for not being the first to encounter the Demon Queen!"

She kowtowed violently and knelt down heavily at the feet of the Demon Queen.

"Master, I, Xue Jie, am sorry for you! But I really can't help myself... My family is in her hands. If I don't do it, my whole family will be wiped out!! For someone like you, Our whole family is like ants. We deserve to die, and it doesn’t matter if we die! But for me, they are everything to me..."

Yan Qingzi stood quietly, his expression still calm and unmoved.

"Who is the person who is threatening you?!"

Xue Jie's breath trembled, her eyes flickered slightly, and finally she nodded.

"Yes...it's Mrs. Xing..."

Yan Qingzi looked at Ling Luoyu with eyes, but she shook her head silently.

The Demon Queen understood and smiled coldly: "Mrs. Xing?! She is really brave! She actually dares to attack me!"

"Mrs. , I noticed something was wrong, so I secretly replaced the master's..."

Xue Jie's eyes flickered and she suddenly pointed at Ling Luoyu.

"I have already told Miss Ling about this..."

Ling Luoyu raised his lips noncommittally: "Sister Xue, I want to correct you... You did tell me about the herbs, but you didn't say it was Mrs. Xing's hands and feet..."
