Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 184 Testing (Part )

He tried to persuade Bai Ze earnestly and with sincere words, hoping to make him change his mind.

"Hmm? How dare you, a mere servant, object to my proposal? Your noble prince is willing to serve me, why are you stopping him?

Besides, as long as your Highness obeys my arrangement, he can realize his dream. What's wrong with having the best of both worlds? Could it be that... you don't expect your Highness to live a better life?"

Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly, and her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of majesty and questioning.

Li Liang raised his head suddenly and responded loudly: "How dare I disrespect you, Princess! I only care about your Highness and naturally hope that everything goes well for you. However, I really can't bear to see your Highness suffer such a great humiliation!"

"Prince Bai, your servants think it is a great shame to ask you to serve me. What do you think?"

"Li Liang, shut up and kneel down." Bai Ze was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He clasped his palms tightly, his nails digging into the flesh to suppress the bloody taste in his throat.

"Princess Xu, I'm so sorry! I was too rude, and I hope you can forgive me if I have offended you.

It is my honor to serve the princess, and I agree to your request."

"Your Highness, you must not do that! Your Highness..."

Li Liang wanted to persuade him again, however, when he met Bai Ze's eagle-like sharp gaze, his heart couldn't help but turn cold, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Although he was very anxious, Li Liang knew that any more words would be in vain. He lowered his head and knelt silently, thinking secretly in his heart.

“Since Prince Bai is so sincere, please come and serve me tonight.

But I am worried that Prince Bai looks so bad! Why don't I take your pulse first to see how you are and whether you can serve me? "

"Thank you, Princess Xu."

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and placed it on the table.

Xu Yuexi covered his hand with a silk handkerchief, then placed her index and middle fingers on Prince Bai's wrist, holding her breath and concentrating on feeling the beating of his pulse.

After a moment, Xu Yuexi frowned slightly and thought to herself, "Strange, this pulse..."

After a long time, Xu Yuexi put away the handkerchief.

"Prince Bai, your pulse is not very good. You can stop serving me and treating me. After all, Prince Bai is dying and there is no medicine to save him."

"No, no, my prince just has difficulty walking. Saint, I beg you, please save my prince. He is still so young, and he has not yet avenged his great hatred. I beg you."

When Yu Fei heard what Xu Yuexi said, his mind was instantly in chaos. He really couldn't accept this fact.

Thinking that Xu Yuexi was a saint and that a saint had magic powers, she must be able to find a way, so she kowtowed and begged continuously.

When Li Liang, who was kneeling beside him, heard this, an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face - he actually succeeded!

However, he was lowering his head at the moment and did not notice the eyes staring at him from above.

"Prince Bai, it is easier to draw a dragon or a tiger than to depict its bones. You can know a person's face but not his heart. You must always be on guard against him!" Tang Liuqing sighed.

Bai Ze's face was pale at this moment, and it was unclear whether he was extremely angry or extremely sad.

Li Liang was so overwhelmed with joy that he did not pay attention to Tang Liuqing's words.

After Bai Ze left, Xu Yuexi leaned on Tang Liuqing.

"Feng Qing, how could Prince Bai Ze, who is so smart, live in such a miserable state? Even his personal attendant betrayed him.

But I didn't lie to him about one thing, he really is dying. I just don't know if he can accept it when he finds out.

Also, tell me, is Li Liang one of the princes' men, or is he one of the emperor's men?"

It would be fine if they were the princes' people, but if they were the emperor's people, it would be too cruel for Bai Ze.

"No matter who they are, they are trouble to us. We cannot escape the blame for the death of this envoy in our country!

Even if they are abandoned, as long as they refuse to admit it and insist that Bai Ze is the crown prince and attack our country, we will have to bear it.

As a matter of fact, we have to save Bai Ze. Xier, are you sure you can save him?"

"I'm not sure yet. I only felt his pulse and didn't test his blood. I don't know what poison he was poisoned with. I'll have to test it first to know."

"Then let's tell Father and Brother about this first, and we can talk about other things after Bai Ze has dealt with his affairs."
