13 Chapter 13: Saved but Scarred (1/2)

The servant announces, ”QiLing will be executed for poisoning the prince in attempt to murder him.”

\tI hear a familiar voice, ”Stop this at once!”

I wanted to scream at them to leave me in peace. I have nothing left. I have no reason to live after this crime.

\tI look at him in disbelief. The knight kicks my head down.

”How dare you look at the Prince!”

\t”Stop. The evidence of what she did is in that letter.”

\t”Go back to bed. You need the antidote. In the meantime, we need you to try to stay in good condition.”

”Mother, I'm healed.”

What?! What's he talking about? People said that they couldn't get the antidote, so how's he healed?

\t”What are you talking about?”

”Apparently, I have immunity to the poison.”

”What?!”
