After realizing that Qi Xiao was playing her and thought it was cute that she was pretending to be dead, Feng Xi simply opened her eyes.

And to Qi Xiao, who returned to the bedside after sending Bai Yi away and was not at all surprised by her state:

"Cute? I think you are a pervert!"

Seeing a trace of doubt flashing through the young man's peach blossom eyes, he obviously didn't understand what "perversion" meant, so Feng Xi explained to him kindly:

"Nothing, it just means that you have psychological problems, twisted, dark, scary, weird... In short, you are not a good person at first glance!"

Qi Xiao: "..."

He himself knows that he is not a good person, but he should not be a pervert or anything like that...

Probably...

But then he thought about it and suddenly said:

"Little Phoenix, is it possible that pretending to be dead is also a quirk, so if I'm a pervert, you may not be normal either?"

If little Phoenix is ​​a little pervert, it's not impossible for him to join that family.

Then he saw Feng Xi turn over, slumped on the bed in a more comfortable posture and said:

"How can this princess pretending to be dead be called a pervert? A worker just wants to get off work. This is called fishing at best!"

Qi Xiao: "?"

Well, their little Phoenix has his own logic. If she says he is a pervert, just be perverted.

Seeing that Qi Xiao didn't refute her, Feng Xi didn't bother to argue with him. Not only that, she also said to Qi Xiao with a rare desire for knowledge:

"I heard what you just said to Bai Yi, so you don't have anything to explain to me?"

"Explanation? What explanation do you want to hear?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qi Xiao's eyes were filled with smiles, and his whole person was full of bad energy.

But he also knew that the little phoenix's feathers couldn't be scratched. He had already taken advantage of a lot yesterday, and any more would have the opposite effect.

So before Feng Xi could quarrel with him, he consciously answered:

"What do you want to know? Was Bai Yi wary of Zhang Tiandong and allowed him to tamper with the soup? Or after seeing you pretending to be dead, we all assumed that you were poisoned and wanted to bite Zhang Tiandong to death?"

Qi Xiao tried his best to break the question into smaller pieces, fearing that Feng Xi would not ask directly because of laziness.

But little did he know that what Feng Xi was struggling with at the moment was not at all about his ability to take advantage of the situation, but that his mind seemed to be far smarter than what was written in the original novel.

That's not right...

Since Qi Xiao and Bai Yi were able to detect Zhang Tiandong's suspicion from the beginning, and monitor each other's actions step by step, making sure that the other party was administering tonics, how could Qi Xiao fall into the trap in the original work?

How could he, with his evil personality, be so helpless after being set up by someone that Feng Yunxuan came to help him?

"Qi Xiao, if you were the one who gave my father medicine today, and my father's condition was extremely critical after drinking the medicine, what would you do? Should you wait for others to save you or save yourself?"

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and answered without hesitation:

"You say I'm twisted, dark, and scary. Do you think I'll give others a chance to frame me?"

"But you just gave it."

Looking down at the girl's clear eyes, Qi Xiao understood many things with just a little thought.

This is a book, and Little Phoenix is ​​an outsider, so there is no Little Phoenix himself in the original story line that Little Phoenix saw. He was the one who was tricked. He planted the trap and got help from others.

"In other words, I relied on the help of others to get rid of the suspicion and exposed the matter?"

It was obviously a question, but Qi Xiao's tone was very determined.

The fact that Feng Xi just looked at him quietly and did not take the initiative to answer further confirmed his guess.

Finally, Feng Xi raised the corner of her mouth when she saw this pervert who liked to play with her claws and always guarded her "corpse", and slowly approached her and said:

"Is there a possibility that the other party's rescue of me was planned by my father and I from the beginning. I need his help? Or is it my test of him? In short, if I am willing to accept it based on my character

Help, it must prove that the other party is useful to me and of great use."

Listening to Qi Xiao analyzing himself in such detail, Feng Xi should understand no matter how stupid she is.

Very good, she thought Feng Yunxuan was on the seventh floor, not only able to protect himself wisely, but also able to deal with all parties. He was simply the only winner in this farce in the original work.

So she drank the medicine with confidence...

What's the result?

Feng Yunxuan is on the seventh floor, she is on the eighteenth floor, and Qi Xiao is in the atmosphere!

How to play this?

This is no fun!

"So you had planned everything a long time ago, planning to make my father go crazy and get sick or something after taking that bowl of tonic? It turned out that I drank the medicine, so you used your plan to say that I was poisoned..."

After hearing what Feng Xi said, Qi Xiao gave a very sincere suggestion:

"Bai Yi didn't just take advantage of the situation after discovering that you drank the medicine, but I told her a long time ago that if you pretended to be dead after drinking the medicine, let her stabilize the situation and say that you were poisoned."

Feng Xi: "?"

"How do you know I might take medicine?"

After hearing this, Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing, just looked at her quietly.

It's as if you're telling her what your own virtues are, don't you know?

Feng Xi knew it clearly and felt that there was no problem:

"So, am I considered a dead person or a living person now? Or maybe I am a living dead?"

Qi Xiao: "?"

He thought that Little Phoenix would get up and argue with him, blaming him for deliberately teasing her, but he didn't expect that the other party would accept it so quickly.

Seemingly sensing Qi Xiao's thoughts, Feng Xi, who was mainly sincere, said directly:

"You don't understand. As the saying goes, the road to Shu is difficult. It is difficult to reach the sky and then return. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up and you can't die. Let's lie down and not be miserable."

Qi Xiao: "..."

Well, it's not impossible.

While Qi Xiao and Feng Xi were exchanging information, the interrogation of Zhang Tiandong, Imperial Physician Bin, Yi Bin and other criminals, which was personally presided over by Emperor Sheng De, was also conducted secretly in the Yangxin Hall.

The interrogation lasted from morning to dusk. During this period, there were constant screams in the palace, which made the spies who tried to listen to the walls outside the palace turned pale.

But what can this trial reveal?

I'm afraid nothing can be found.

Unlike the furious Emperor Sheng De, Prince Consort Qi Xiao has never stepped out of the side hall since he took Feng Xi away last night. During this period, he was even seen secretly taking stock of the treasury of the Princess Mansion...

"Tsk, I already know that that good-for-nothing from the Qi family is not a good thing. Yuan'er, look at that little bitch Feng Xi's corpse before she's even cold, but this good-for-nothing has already begun to plot her belongings. It's better for us, Shen Ge, to care about you.

There’s no telling~”

It was night, Concubine Fang was playing with the pearls that her son-in-law had brought from the Shen family residence, while listening to the reports from the palace servants below.

While Feng Yuan secretly raised the corner of her lips, happy that Feng Xi could not compete with her after all, an elite group of imperial guards followed Qi Xiao and began to sweep the entire palace under the cover of night.
