Chapter 211: Another Twist

The little servant backed off a couple of steps with a hint of fear, looking at Ji Xinhe, reminded of the words she had just said.

"You think by helping Princess Chaoyang resolve the situation, she will reward you handsomely? Don't forget, this is all her own trap; you were just a tiny chess piece used to drag me into it. But once the dust settles, and she reaps significant benefits, do you think she will really keep you? You are the evidence of her manipulation, and the safest solution is to silence you forever."

But if he couldn't trust the princess, who else could he trust?

The little boy bit his lip, looking at Li Xinhe, the cunningly smiling young lady of the Li family, he began, "It was the princess who ordered me to take out this perfumed powder. Miss Li is correct. I intended to leave the house, but who would've thought that Miss Li spotted me halfway? She chased me all the way to the Wutong Garden, and after catching me here, the temple officials stormed in."
