I insist

Chapter 361: The Drama Queen Takes Action

The little maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and didn't dare to look the Seventh Prince in the eye.

This immediately aroused the Seventh Prince's excitement.

"Fine, you won't tell, huh?"

He nodded to the guard beside him as he spoke.

The guard immediately understood.

He grabbed a weapon and attacked the maid from behind.

The little maidservant fell to the ground with a thud, crawled forward and knelt at the Seventh Prince's feet, crying and begging for mercy.

"Seventh Prince, please spare this servant!"

The Seventh Prince wasn't buying it and kicked the maid aside.

"Get out of my way, you filthy servant, don't get my shoes dirty."

Song Miqiu felt a chill run down her spine as she listened inside.

In the palace, in Song Miqiu's memory, the seventh prince had a well-behaved and fair face, so how could he be so ruthless?

Song Miqiu thought it would be safer to stay inside.

The nightmare for the little maid who was kicked aside had only just begun.

The seventh prince was still young and not very tall, so such matters were initially handled by the secret guards, and only later would the seventh prince personally interrogate him.

Seeing the little maid lying on the ground, the Seventh Prince walked to her side and used all his strength to step on her fingers.

"Tell me quickly, who told you to do this?"

His eyes seemed to spit fire.

The maid still shook her head.

These servants in the palace often had no background whatsoever. Once they were used, whether the plan succeeded or failed, they would face certain death. This is why the little maid refused to speak out.

If we can pull through now, there might be a chance of survival. But if we do, we'll either be killed now or killed after we get back. The outcome will be the same.

The Seventh Prince never expected that such a thin little maid would have such a stubborn tongue.

"You won't talk, huh? Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

As he spoke, he picked up the stool next to him and smashed it hard against the little maid.

The stool instantly fell apart, and blood was flowing from the corner of the maid's mouth.

The seventh prince sipped water as he slaughtered the ground, then brushed the dust off his body.

"Still not going to tell, huh?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the candle from the table and tried to throw it at the little maid.

Upon seeing this, the maidservant was so frightened that she quickly spoke up.

“I’ll tell you everything about the Seventh Prince.”

Inside the box, Song Miqiu only heard the Seventh Prince's footsteps and had no idea what was going on when the little maid confessed.

It seems we should be more careful around this seventh prince in the future.

Unfortunately, the little maid didn't know much, so the Seventh Prince didn't get any useful information from her.

The Seventh Prince looked at the little maid with a smug expression, like a child who had won a game of house.

"Then hurry up and tell me."

His hands then stopped moving.

Seeing the flickering flame of the candle, the little maid steeled herself and told everything.

“It was Eunuch Cao who gave me this. He didn’t say anything, he just told me to give this cup of water to you. I really didn’t know there was something in it.”

The seventh prince made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound and shook his head from side to side.

"It seems you've been used by someone."

The maid thought she still had a chance to escape. "Seventh Prince, I've been used. Please let me go."

The seventh prince squatted down and waved his index finger in front of the little maid.

"That won't do."

"It's your business if you're being used, but it's my business if you bring me water."

At this moment, Song Miqiu also held her breath, completely unable to guess what the Seventh Prince would do next.

There was no sound for a few seconds, then the little maid's screams of begging for mercy could be heard.

"No, no!"

Then, with a thud, Song Miqiu guessed it sounded like something had fallen to the ground.

Song Miqiu would never have guessed that the sound came from the Seventh Prince hitting the little maid's head against the ground.

Just after the little maid begged for mercy, the Seventh Prince grabbed her hair and slammed her head against a nearby table.

The Seventh Prince even chose a spot specifically, aiming for the hardest part of the table corner.

Then the maid collapsed completely.

He collapsed to the ground, blood seeping from his forehead.

The Seventh Prince then became even more bizarre, raising his finger to silence the guards.

He even gestured to the guards to drag the maid out.

The secret guards were a group of people who would do whatever the Seventh Prince told them to do without asking any questions, so they just followed his orders.

The one who remained covered the bloodstains on the ground with a cloth, as instructed by the Seventh Prince.

After watching the guards finish all this, the Seventh Prince revealed a childlike smile.

No matter how hard Song Miqiu tried to concentrate, he couldn't hear anything outside. He was still wondering if the Seventh Prince had left.

But no one expected that after the Seventh Prince laughed, he would slowly move closer to the box.

The guards then realized the problem and gripped their swords tightly.

The seventh prince came to the box, but accidentally kicked a small pebble, making a soft sound.

After making the sound, the Seventh Prince held his breath and froze, completely still.

But Song Miqiu, who was inside the box, had already noticed something amiss.

They could naturally hear the sound at such close range, and were prepared to be discovered.

The tent was completely silent. A minute later, the Seventh Prince slowly resumed breathing.

He watched as the guard's hand slowly reached for the handle of the box.

Then he suddenly opened the box.

Sure enough, there was someone there!

However, Song Miqiu had already changed his appearance in the system, so even if the Seventh Prince saw him in person, he wouldn't recognize him.

As soon as the Seventh Prince entered the tent, he smelled an unfamiliar fragrance inside and became suspicious when he asked about the box.

They just dealt with the maid first and then dealt with the other one.

The seventh prince thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of hunting his prey.

Song Miqiu wasn't jealous; the moment she opened the box, she immediately closed her eyes.

The best solution he could think of in a short time was to pretend to be asleep.

Song Miqiu had no idea whether the little maid was alive or dead, and knowing too much at this point would not do her any good.

The Seventh Prince acted as if he were playing hide-and-seek with Song Miqiu, and he had found the winner.

“I knew there were people in here. None of you can escape my eyes.”

Song Miqiu began her acting, pretending that her eyes were irritated by the light, and frowning as if she had just woken up.

I slowly opened my eyes in a daze.

"Where am I? Where am I?"

The Seventh Prince looked Song Miqiu up and down, and was slightly relieved to see that her hands and feet were bound.

"This is the tent set up by the Emperor for the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven. I am the seventh prince of the current Emperor."

Not satisfied with just saying all that, he started spouting big lies to scare her.

"How dare you trespass here? Do you know what crime this is?"

Seeing that the Seventh Prince hadn't recognized her, Song Miqiu decided to conceal her identity and try to escape first.

"Is it true? You're actually a prince, living in the palace? This is the first time I've ever seen a prince."
