Chapter 270 Imprisoned in the Palace

Che Yi pulled a silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into the food.

"how so?"

Chu Yan was astonished, as the silver needles quickly turned black.

Che Yi snorted coldly, a sneer playing on his lips. "This Consort Zhang doesn't seem like the type to treat you this well. Something's fishy about this."

"Che Yi, thank goodness I had you, thank goodness!"

Chu Yan patted her chest in lingering fear, once again feeling terrified by her own stupidity and carelessness.

She ultimately didn't think the worst about people.

"This Consort Zhang is truly wicked. I really don't want to spend another second with someone like her. I wish I could divorce Prince Xiao right now!"

Chu Yan said angrily again.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Divorce? Actually, now is an opportunity."

Suddenly, Che Yi said quietly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Chu Yan looked at Che Yi curiously after hearing his words.

"Didn't she ask you to help save Prince Xiao? You can use divorce as a condition to negotiate with her. I'm sure she'll agree for the sake of her son."

"Yes! How could I not have thought of that! But... I'm afraid this would completely ruin our relationship."

Chu Yan's eyes lit up, but then she said with concern.

She was somewhat worried that Consort Zhang and Prince Xiao would use this as an excuse to target the Chu family.

"Your refusal to divorce and your refusal to help have already offended them, and they are not grateful to you either."

At this moment, Che Yi clearly reminded him.

He looked at Chu Yan helplessly, thinking to himself that this woman was ultimately too kind and naive, and had not experienced the wickedness of human nature enough.

Therefore, they have always been hesitant and timid when dealing with enemies.

If you don't act ruthlessly, you'll be swallowed by the enemy and bones sooner or later.
