“Can you save him? Please, I beg you, save him.” With tear-filled eyes, Chu Jiuning looked pleadingly at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu lowered his gaze coldly and regarded her, “I can save him, but do you understand what I need to bear? So I must ask you, what can I gain from saving him?”
“What do you want? My abilities are limited, and if it’s something too difficult, I might be powerless. But if it’s within my capabilities, I’ll give it my all!”
“Not difficult.” Bai Yu extended his palm, holding a red bean in its stillness,
“Eat this.”
Chu Jiuning frowned, looking at him cautiously, “What... is this?”
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, “Why? Afraid of being poisoned?”
“No, I just want to know what it is before deciding whether to eat it.”
“Love Curse. It’s a poison used to guard against vile concubines like you from tarnishing my reputation behind my back.”
Chu Jiuning twitched at the corner of her mouth. Since he wouldn’t listen to explanations, she’d present evidence directly.
