Poison them all

"Prince Wangjie attempted me to come to his side," Jin Fengming said and halted at his place to see Jia Li stop walking. "I wonder why Prince Wangjie is building forces," he asserted. 

Jia Li gazed at him and asked him why he didn't join Wangjie's hands. "I didn't choose you, so you had every reason to go against me," she stated. 

Jin Fengming smiled to hear that statement. "I couldn't hurt the person, who was my first love," he answered. 

Jia Li was impressed with that response. "I'm glad you didn't become my rival," she added and lowered her eyes for a moment. 

"Where is the Crown Prince? I didn't see him around," Jin Fengming suddenly asked with a curious gaze. 

"Xianwu has gone out of the capital for a certain work related to his department," Jia Li replied. "You already know how many don't want me to stay in power. That's why Prince Wangjie tries to gather support for the future," she affirmed.
