When Chu Minghao stormed in, Chu Feiyan was drinking medicine.
She wasn't well herself, and her head still ached intermittently.
For safety, the doctor had advised her to continue taking medicine and rest.
The maid serving her was the same one who had delivered the sweet soup to Chu Qianli that night, named Dong'er.
"Feiyan!" Chu Minghao strode in, furious. "Why did you poison Chu Qianli?"
Dong'er trembled in fear and quickly bowed. "Greetings, Young Master."
"Kneel!" Chu Minghao glared at her, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Was it you who poisoned the sweet soup?"
Chu Feiyan had been in the room the entire time and had no chance to go out.
Dong'er knelt with a thud and said with a trembling voice, "Y-Young Master, this servant... this servant..."
She looked at Chu Feiyan, terrified out of her wits.
Hadn't the Princess said she was an insignificant person? Why was the Young Master so enraged?
"Did you poison her? Speak!" Chu Minghao took a step forward and kicked Dong'er.
"Brother!" Dong'er's scream made Chu Feiyan feel utterly disgraced.
She said displeasedly, "I ordered Dong'er to poison her, it has nothing to do with Dong'er! Brother, if you want to punish, punish me!"
She said with indifference and a cold snort, "I'd like to see if you're really willing to kill your sister for an insignificant person!"
Chu Feiyan had been doted on by Prince Yu since childhood, and she didn't believe her brother would dare do anything to her.
Wasn't Chu Qianli just a criminal from the Longteng Kingdom?
She already knew that the title of Empress was all fake.
Chu Qianli was nothing now.
King Li?
Bah! Just a powerless woman!
"So, you finally admit that you ordered the poisoning?" Chu Minghao gritted his teeth. "How many times have I told you, Chu Qianli is my person, you're not allowed to touch her casually!"
Feng Yexuan and Feng Qihe would soon be heading to the Southern Ming Imperial City, and both were deeply fond of Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli in his hands held great value.
This foolish sister had just destroyed his best chess piece like this!
She was going to drive him mad!
"So what if I gave the order?" Chu Feiyan was completely unfazed by his anger. She snorted, "I also said, I just can't stand this bitch, I want to kill her... Ah!"
With a slap, a palm landed on Chu Feiyan's tender cheek.
Chu Feiyan's jaw nearly dropped. She was shocked and in pain, and finally, she burst into tears of grievance.
"Chu Minghao! You hit me for a bitch! You dare to hit me! Even Father has never hit me! Sob! Sob sob! I'm going back, I'm going to tell Father, I want Father to kill you! Sob sob sob..."
Chu Minghao felt a chill in his heart.
The thought of the doctor saying Chu Qianli was beyond help made him furious and agitated!
He used to comfort Chu Feiyan when she cried, but now, seeing his sister cry only annoyed him.
"Guards!"
Ignoring the wailing Chu Feiyan, he waved his hand and said angrily, "Drag this lowly maid out and beat her to death!"
"What?" Chu Feiyan couldn't believe it. "Chu Minghao, try and touch Dong'er! Just you dare!"
"Young Master, Young Master, spare me..."
Dong'er was petrified and scrambled to Chu Feiyan's feet, clinging tightly to her leg. "Princess, you said I would be fine! Princess, save me!"
Chu Feiyan glared at Chu Minghao, enraged. "You're just a concubine's son! Do you think you're worth anything to Father? If you dare touch my maid, I'll have Father cripple you!"
