Upon hearing the news of the king's poisoning, Liao Ning's anxiety escalated. Her intuition had been correct—something significant had transpired.
Closing her door, she turned to Liao Nai, her voice filled with urgency. "Don't act recklessly. Remember to prioritize your safety and do not defy the empire."
Liao Nai asked anxiously, "Auntie, what's happening?"
"Focus on protecting yourself. If someone tries to capture me, do not resist, understand?" Liao Ning crouched down, gripping Liao Nai's shoulders tightly, her gaze locked on him.
When he failed to respond, Liao Ning repeated her question. "Do you understand?"
Fear evident in his eyes, Liao Nai nodded.
In that very moment, the door was forcefully thrown open. Loya, supported by her maid, glared at Liao Ning. "Seize her! She's the one who poisoned the king!"
"Yes, Princess."
