Chapter 556
"How did the princess die?"
Master casually inquired, finally voicing the question.
"She was murdered," replied Meng Xuanqing.
"What?" Master was taken aback, he suppressed his emotion and said, "Ah, forget it. Everyone living in this world withers just like plants in the autumn, inevitably meeting their death. The princess had a stubborn personality and made many enemies. To die at the hands of an enemy is not unusual."
Meng Xuanqing took a sip of tea, glanced at Master and asked: "Why are you not drinking your tea? Should I pour you more?"
"Thank you, but I'm not thirsty," Master replied calmly. He knew better: how could he dare drink tea in front of this poison master, who was infamous for his surreptitious poisoning skills?
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did the princess die in pain?"
