In the Eighth Princess's view, the two had been separated for many days. Although she came to Nanling for business, she had missed Qinghe dearly during their long absence.
But Qinghe had no interest in matters of affection. In fact, whenever the Eighth Princess tried to get close to him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.
However, he hid it well, revealing nothing on his face regardless of what he thought in his heart.
The Eighth Princess was feeling an intense itch in her heart, but unable to force Qinghe, she could only bear it herself.
And it was at this moment that something happened.
Before the incident, the Eighth Princess, frustrated and distressed from unfulfilled desires, drank a few more cups than usual and became intoxicated.
Old Lady Zhu was poisoned, and the poison also spread to the Eighth Princess. To find out who the poisoner was, she had Old Lady Zhu severely beaten.
