Chapter 239: Chapter 241 Troubles
Xiao Jiuyuan suddenly smiled handsomely and looked at Yun Qianyu intently.
Unable to appreciate the handsome face that was smiling at her, Yun Qianyu only stared at Xiao Jiuyuan’s slender hand.
“Where is the pill?” Xiao Jiuyuan asked.
Feeling speechless, Yun Qianyu thought, ‘Does he want it back?’
“Your Highness, are you asking for the pill back?”
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at her strangely and said in a flat tone, “I’m not saying I want it back, I just want to make sure whether the pill I gave you is still around?”
Immediately, Yun Qianyu’s face darkened and she wanted to run away. Since she had given the pill to Hua Mei, Yun Qianyu had to think up something.
Thinking about this, Yun Qianyu suddenly thought about the pills she had in the Phoenix Ring. Perhaps there was a Skin Regeneration pill. However, after looking through it, there wasn’t any. There were other beautifying pills, just not a Skin Regeneration pill. If she took something else and presented it to Xiao Jiuyuan, he would surely spot the difference.
After thinking about it for some time, she decided not to lie to him. Since Xiao Jiuyuan was smart and often paranoid, lying to him would only cause more troubles.
With that thought and a serious look, Yun Qianyu said, “I gave it to someone else.”
Immediately, Xiao Jiuyuan’s face became darkened and stern while he angrily looked at Yun Qianyu in disbelief. ‘This woman dares to give away the gift I gave her?’
‘Have I been too kind to her? Or do I look like a pushover?’
“Did you give the pill to your servant girl?”
Previously Xiao Jiuyuan had had no clue. However, during the games, he had looked around and caught a glimpse of the servant girl behind Yun Qianyu. That servant girl was Hua Mei and he saw that she had become fairer and had better skin.
Recalling that Yun Qianyu’s servant girl seemed darker previously, Xiao Jiuyuan felt something was strange about it.
Thinking about that now, Xiao Jiuyuan figured Yun Qianyu must have given the pill to her servant girl.
Feeling extremely pissed, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered coldly, “Men, bring that servant girl out and chop off her head!”
Immediately, Hua Mei’s face became pale and she almost fell to the ground.
With a stern face, Yun Qianyu glared at Xiao Jiuyuan and said, “This matter has nothing to do with her, it was my idea to give it to her.”
“So what? As a servant girl, knowing that this pill was given by this Prince, she still dared to consume it. If she doesn’t have a death wish, how could you explain her foolishness?”
Behind Xiao Jiuyuan, Bai Yao wanted to tell his master, ‘Perhaps it’s not a bad idea to treat Miss Yun a little better master. You are marrying her after all.’
Unfortunately, Xiao Jiuyuan would probably not believe Bai Yao since he did not believe that he would fall in love with Yun Qianyu.
In fact, Xiao Jiuyuan had been paying more and more attention to Yun Qianyu. To say that he had no interest was unlikely. Unfortunately, he was not aware of this.
Bai Yao felt powerless and did not dare to not obey Xiao Jiuyuan’s words. He could only wave his hand and gesture for his men to grab Hua Mei.
Seeing that Hua Mei was being dragged out, Yun Qianyu felt she had to do something quickly.
Out of desperation, an idea popped into Yun Qianyu’s mind and she quickly said, “Wait a minute, I have something to say.”
Xiao Jiuyuan raised his hand lazily and the men stopped dragging Hua Mei.
