Su Yingxue nodded. "Yes, but it's not what Your Highness thinks. I'm actually..."
"Is it for Xiao Yu?" Chu Yihan's sharp, deep eyes locked onto her.
The depth of his gaze laid bare all falsehoods.
Su Yingxue nodded. "Yes, but this drink was offered by the Seventh Prince."
"What concern is it of yours if he toasted Xiao Yu?" Chu Yihan's voice was cold and deep. "Su Yingxue, I had no idea you were so close to Xiao Yu!"
"Your Highness..." Su Yingxue realized in her heart that this was a scheme orchestrated by Chu Chengye and the empress.
No wonder they insisted on inviting Noble Consort Xiao, Xiao Yu, and her to Fengzao Palace today.
