The Old Prince wasn't wrong, An Yiqing realized he was thinking in her best interest. The frost on her face gradually faded, and she gave the Old Prince a gentle smile.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince is overthinking. Even if they suspect me, they can't find evidence. Edith is the Royal Princess of Country Zi, and my status isn't lacking. Even if this matter reaches the Queen, without evidence, does she intend to slander me?"
The Old Prince understood the reasoning, but if this issue were to displease Queen Freyno, she might secretly trip up An Yiqing. After all, open attacks are easier to dodge than hidden arrows.
An Yiqing guessed much of what the Old Prince was thinking. She shrugged it off with a smile, her watery eyes squinting slightly, revealing a hint of chill. Would she be blamed? Not only would Queen Freyno not blame her, it was likely Edith would have to personally plead with her.
After all, no one else can cure that poison except herself.
