In the study room.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt drowsy.

Even eating watermelon could not wake her up from sleepiness. Lu Xiaoxiao just wanted to sink into her dream.

However, the conversation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao continued to come to my ears:

"Your Highness, how do you think we can solve the problem of Second Brother so as not to alert the enemy?"

Seeing the state her second brother was in when he left just now, Xiao Shuyi was really worried about him.

But right now, the more important thing is to solve the problem of the herbal medicine shop. Xiao Shuyi can't take care of him for the time being. She frowned and looked at His Highness: "If the person behind the scenes is really coming for Your Highness, then this game of chess is too big."

Xie Xi tapped the tabletop with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "The Xiao family and I are in the same boat. If the Xiao family is destroyed, I will definitely be implicated."

"Shu Yi, do you still think that the other party is not coming for me?"

[Ding! The progress of helping Crown Prince Xie Xi ascend the throne is 1. The troubles of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been detected. Mission has been successfully activated: Help Xiao Yunhe overcome difficulties in the name of Crown Prince Xie Xi and strengthen the cooperation between Crown Prince Xie Xi and the Xiao family.]

[Complete the task to get 50 points, fail the task and you will be struck by lightning]

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up from her dream.

[Hmm? You want me to help Xiao Yunhe out of his predicament in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ]

[But Xiao Yunhe is a blind scumbag! Helping him is really a waste of my time. ]

[But forget it. For the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'll still think of a way to help Xiao Yunhe collect some evidence.]

[When the time comes, I will directly hand the evidence to him. He won't be framed again, right? ]

Hearing Lu Fengyi's thoughts, the two people who were talking stopped at the same time.

Xie Xi pressed the corners of his lips, with a faint smile in his eyes. Lu Fengyi was indeed deeply in love with him.

For him, she was willing to sacrifice herself.

Xiao Shuyi began to doubt her original idea——

Could Lu Fengyi really be the spy sent by Concubine Shu?

If Lu Fengyi was a spy, then why would she be obsessed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Xiao Shuyi was a little confused.

She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's deep gaze.

Xie Xi seemed to see through her thoughts.

He picked up the pen and wrote three words on the white paper neatly: I'll tell you later.

Xiao Shuyi nodded slightly and withdrew her gaze.

Lu Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of the little things going on 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's eating melon app.

[Huh? This mission seems pretty easy? It's like an easy one! ]

[Even warm reminders have come out. 】

[Did Deng Qing hide all the account books related to the murder of eight people in the herbal medicine shop in the toilet of his home? ]

[I didn't expect that Deng Qing was so good at hiding. He actually thought of that place. It's really not simple. ]

[Then let's borrow Mu Qing from His Highness? Let Mu Qing go to Deng Qing's house and look for him, especially the toilet. Look for him several times.]

Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "..."

Mu Qing, I'm sorry for wronging you.

Xiao Shuyi didn't expect that Lu Fengyi really knew everything...

However, today she also knew that Lu Fengyi would not murder His Highness.

Now that the answers were 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 cast for the blind.

Noticing Concubine Xiao's gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao looked back in surprise. She blinked, "Your Highness, have you finished discussing the matter with Concubine Sister? Then can I leave now?"

Xiao Shuyi: "..."

Seeing that Lu Fengyi was uncomfortable, Xiao Shuyi didn't want to keep her here any longer.

Xiao Shuyi smiled and said, "Since my sister wants to go back, then my sister can go back."

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she stood up impatiently: "Is what Sister Concubine said true?"

[I just behaved quite well, and His Highness is here too. Concubine Xiao wouldn't deliberately trick me, right? ]

[If you let me go, I will really leave. ]

The smile on Xiao Shuyi's lips gradually froze.

She thought that since she had made peace with Lu Fengyi, Lu Fengyi should let go of the past and stop guarding against her, but...

He called her Concubine Sister, but in his heart he was calling her Concubine Xiao.

After all, she made a wrong decision.

Xiao Shuyi took a deep breath and tried to maintain a smile on her face: "If you don't want to leave, you can stay in Qingshuyuan to accompany your sister."

Lu Xiaoxiao: ...

Thanks for the invitation. I’m off now.

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately said to His Royal Highness, "Your Highness, I will go back first."

[Please don’t ask me to come over again later!!]

Xie Xi shook his head helplessly, "Go back."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After getting the response, Lu Xiaoxiao slipped away quickly.

After no longer seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's back, Xiao Shuyi stood up again to open the door and looked outside. Sure enough, Lu Xiaoxiao was no longer there.

After returning to his seat, Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is this Lu Fengyi still the spy of the Concubine Shu in the palace?"

"No."

Xie Xi picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of tea. Facing Xiao Shuyi's puzzled gaze, he took a sip and said, "Lu Fengyi has already turned from evil to good."

"She is on my side now. As for the concubine in the palace, you don't have to pay attention to her for now."

"If Concubine Shu really has any unusual moves towards Lu Fengyi, I will be prepared in advance."

Hearing this, Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but feel distressed: "But when Lu Fengyi first entered the mansion, I was punished by three days of confinement. Today, when I came back, I found out that the kitchen had not sent Lu Fengyi any food for three consecutive days. I don't know how Lu Fengyi managed to survive..."

"Your Highness, is Lu Fengyi holding a grudge against me for this matter, and is that the reason he is always on guard against me?"

If she had known earlier that Lu Fengyi was not Concubine Shu's spy, she would definitely not have treated Lu Fengyi like that.

However, when Lu Fengyi entered the mansion that day, he was indeed quite arrogant in front of her, as if——

Like a brainless beauty.

But now...

Xiao Shuyi suddenly discovered that the Lu Fengyi she met today seemed very different from the previous Lu Fengyi.

When she first met Lu Fengyi, she was unable to hear Lu Fengyi's inner thoughts.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Shuyi expressed her doubts, "I don't know what's going on, but I feel that Lu Fengyi's changes seem too strange."

In fact, Xie Xi also noticed it.

Before Concubine Shu sent Lu Fengyi into the palace, he had investigated Lu Fengyi, and 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.
