In the study room.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and about to fall asleep.
Even eating melon couldn't make her sleep away. Lu Xiaoxiao just wanted to fall asleep in her dream.
However, the conversation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao kept coming to my ears:
"Your Highness, how do you think the second brother's matter should be resolved so as not to alert the enemy?"
Considering the state her second brother was in when he left just now, Xiao Shuyi was really worried about him.
But at the moment, the more important thing is to solve the problem of the medicine shop. Xiao Shuyi can't care about him for the time being. She frowns slightly and looks at His Highness: "If the person behind the scenes really comes for His Highness, then this dish The dark chess is too big."
Xie Xi flexed his fingers, tapping the table repeatedly, and said in a low voice: "The Xiao family and Gu Ben are in the same boat. If the Xiao family is destroyed, Gu Ben will definitely be implicated."
"Shu Yi, do you still think that the other party is not here for Gu?"
【drop! The progress of assisting Prince Xie Xi to ascend the throne is 1. The troubles of His Royal Highness are now detected and task 2 is successfully activated: Help Xiao Yunhe overcome the difficulties in the name of Prince Xie Xi and strengthen the cooperation between Prince Xie Xi and the Xiao family]
[You can get fifty points by completing the task, and you will be struck by lightning if you fail the task]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up from his dream.
【Um? Ask me to help Xiao Yunhe get through the difficult situation in the name of His Royal Highness? 】
[But Xiao Yunhe is a blind scumbag! It was really a waste of my time to help him. 】
[But forget it, for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince, I’d better think of a way to help Xiao Yunhe collect evidence. 】
[When the time comes, I will hand over the evidence directly to him, so he won’t be framed again, right? 】
Hearing Lu Fengyi's inner voice, the two people who were talking stopped at the same time.
Xie Xi pressed the corners of his lips, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. Lu Fengyi really had a deep affection for him.
For him, she was willing to wrong herself.
Xiao Shuyi began to doubt her initial thoughts——
Is Lu Fengyi really the spy sent by Concubine Shu?
If Lu Fengyi was the spy, then why would she be thinking about His Highness the Crown Prince?
Xiao Shuyi was a little confused.
She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at His Highness the Crown Prince, but she happened to meet His Highness's deep gaze.
Xie Xi seemed to have read through her thoughts.
He picked up his pen and wrote three words neatly on the white paper: I’ll talk about it later.
Xiao Shuyi nodded slightly and withdrew her gaze.
Lu Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of the little moves between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao.
She yawned, held her chin with one hand, rubbed her eyes and clicked on the system.
【Huh? This mission seems quite simple? It’s just like giving out points! 】
[Even the warm reminders are out. 】
[Deng Qing hid all the ledgers about the murder of eight lives in the medicine shop in the toilet of his home? 】
[I didn’t expect that Deng Qing was quite good at hiding. It’s really not easy to think of that place. 】
[Then let’s go directly to His Highness to borrow Mu Qing later? Let Mu Qing go to Deng Qing's house to look for it, especially the toilet. He has to look for it several times. 】
Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "..."
Mu Qing, I feel wronged to you.
Xiao Shuyi didn't expect that Lu Fengyi really knew everything...
However, today she finally knew that Lu Fengyi would not murder His Highness.
Now that the answers have come out, Xiao Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Lu Fengyi.
However, it is destined to be voted for the blind.
Sensing Concubine Xiao's gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao looked back in surprise. She blinked, "Have your Highness and Concubine Sister discussed the matter? Can I leave now?"
Xiao Shuyi: "..."
It was obvious that Lu Fengyi was uncomfortable, and Xiao Shuyi couldn't keep her here any longer.
Xiao Shuyi said with a smile: "Since my sister wants to go back, then she should go back."
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and he stood up impatiently: "Is what Sister Concubine said true?"
[I acted quite calmly just now, and His Highness is here too. Concubine Xiao won’t trick me on purpose, right? 】
[If you let me leave, then I will really leave. 】
The smile at the corner of Xiao Shuyi's mouth gradually solidified.
She thought that she had already made peace with Lu Fengyi, and that Lu Fengyi should let go of the past and stop guarding herself. But...
She called Sister Concubine on her lips, but in her heart she called Concubine Xiao.
After all, she paid by mistake.
Xiao Shuyi took a deep breath and tried to maintain the smile on her face: "If my sister doesn't want to leave, it's okay to stay with her in Qingshu Courtyard."
Lu Xiaoxiao:......
Thanks for the invitation, slipped away.
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately said to His Highness the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, that concubine will go back first."
[Don’t ask me to come over again after a while! ! 】
Xie Xi shook his head helplessly, "Go back."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After receiving the response, Lu Xiaoxiao ran away quickly.
After seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's back, Xiao Shuyi stood up again, opened the door, and looked outside. Sure enough, Lu Xiaoxiao was no longer there.
After returning to her seat, Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, is this Lu Fengyi still the spy of Concubine Shu in the palace?"
"no."
Xie Xi picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of tea. When he met Xiao Shuyi's puzzled eyes, he took a sip and then said: "Lu Fengyi has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
"She is on Gu's side now. As for Concubine Shu in the palace, we don't need to pay attention to her side for the time being."
"If Concubine Shu really makes any move towards Lu Fengyi, I will take precautions in advance."
Hearing this, Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "But when Lu Fengyi first entered the house, he was punished by my concubine for three days of confinement. When I came back today, I found out that for three consecutive days, Lu Fengyi was not given food in the kitchen, and she didn't know. How did Lu Fengyi survive..."
"Your Highness, does Lu Fengyi hold a grudge against this matter, so he is always on guard against my concubine?"
If she had known that Lu Fengyi was not Empress Shu's spy, she would definitely not have treated Lu Fengyi like that.
However, when Lu Fengyi entered the house that day, he acted quite arrogant and domineering in front of her, like——
Like a brainless beauty.
But now...
Xiao Shuyi suddenly discovered that the Lu Fengyi she saw today seemed very different from the Lu Fengyi before.
When she first met Lu Fengyi, she couldn't hear Lu Fengyi's thoughts.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Shuyi expressed her doubts, "I don't know what's going on, but I think Lu Fengyi's changes seem too weird."
In fact, Xie Xi also noticed it.
Before Concubine Shu sent Lu Fengyi into the house, he had investigated Lu Fengyi. This Lu Fengyi was indeed very different from the previous Lu Fengyi.
However, after learning that Lu Fengyi came to help him, Xie Xi did not continue to investigate further.
No matter who she is, as long as she is Lu Fengyi, she is his.
