After much deliberation, whether to match Xiao Jinxing with Bai Mowan or to depose the Crown Princess Consort so the Crown Prince could marry Bai Mowan, the first step was to kill Ye Qichi!
Yu Qingyuan's face darkened, and the intent to kill in her eyes was unmistakable.
Ye Qichi could fully feel Yu Qingyuan's murderous intent, and even thought that the Empress didn't just want to teach her a lesson, but was looking for a reason to kill her.
A cold chuckle rose in her heart.
Xiao Jinxing said the Empress wouldn't kill her, believing the Empress wouldn't kill a princess for the sake of a mere servant, as the Empress herself couldn't justify such an action.
She had thought so too!
However, unnatural deaths weren't uncommon in the palace, didn't Xiao Jinxing's mother die from a setup that led to her being sentenced to death?! He should understand better the deceit and cruelty within the palace.
