Li He naturally didn't leave, he repeated the princess's words to Nangong Xin. After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Nangong Xin's response.
Nangong Xin took a breath, then another, and after a moment, laughedh, "She really said that?"
Li He nodded, "This servant wouldn't dare to deceive in the slightest, these are indeed the princess's literal words."
There was not an iota of embellishing or adding on, it was original.
Nangong Xin sneered, "Does she think I want to continue living?"
And eat without working, she actually had the audacity to say that.
Li He kept silent, thinking to himself, "You don't want to live, but you don't want to kill yourself either."
"Your Highness, please accept it!" Palace Maid Cuihe gently tugged on Nangong Xin's sleeve and whispered: "You are still the Queen, with the power to rule the six palaces. It would make life easier for us servants."
Nangong Xin turned her head, glaring at Cuihe.
