Looking at her grave little expression, Li Ji would have almost fallen for her lies if he couldn't hear her true thoughts.
'This woman is saying all these sweet words for no other reason than to get to her meal as quickly as possible.'
Li Ji's thin lips curled into a wicked smile.
He pushed the bowl of medicine in front of him toward Hua Manman.
"Since you're so concerned about my health, taste this medicine for me first and see if it's poisoned."
Hua Manman froze.
'She never thought that just saying a few words to coax him would end up like this.'
'This medicine looks incredibly bitter. I don't want to drink it at all!'
But Li Ji was still watching her, looking as if he wouldn't let her off the hook unless she took a sip.
Everyone else kept their heads bowed, and no one dared to criticize Prince Zhao.
Hua Manman had no choice but to resign herself to her fate, pick up the bowl, and take a tiny sip.
The medicine was horribly bitter the moment it touched her tongue.
