Why do you like Su Bi?

In fact, there is no need for a reason.

If there is such a beauty who is always nice to you, pampers you and dotes on you, can you remain indifferent?

Ning Xihua knew that he was dangerous and not as gentle as he appeared to be, but she couldn't help but fall a little deeper into Su Bi's tenderness.

She sighed. In fact, she realized that things were not going well when she began to feel sorry for Su Bi after learning about his life experience.

Although her previous interactions made her feel somewhat uneasy and unreal, when he later killed someone in front of her, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she felt that the yandere Su Bi was more vivid and lively.

At that time, she felt that she might be hopeless, and now...

It's over, she's miserable, she's fallen in love.

When Prince Ning saw his concubine lying down and allowing herself to be ridiculed, he became even more furious.

"Even though you've been blocked by someone, you still haven't caught him?"

Ning Xihua: ???

Prince Ning was furious at her lack of resistance and said, "The princess of Prince Ning's mansion is not like those little girls who learn secret love and devotion. If you like someone, just go for it! Get the person first!"

Ning Xihua: …

Wait, things seem to be heading in a strange direction. This isn't what we were just discussing, right?

"No, what are you talking about, old man? That's the prince!"

Why does it sound so thrilling to get the crown prince?

Prince Ning glared at her again, "What's wrong with being a crown prince? Are you not worthy of being a crown prince?"

...seems to make sense.

Ning Xihua was speechless for a moment.

Prince Ning shook his head, looking disgusted.

"You can't do this. Forget it. Just take good care of yourself. Let your father take care of this matter."

It's easy to deal with the crown prince, but it's not easy to deal with the emperor. I need to think about this matter carefully. Prince Ning muttered, waved his sleeves, and went back to think of a solution.

Ning Xihua was left helpless, fearing that her father would do something as serious as kidnapping the prince.

After Prince Ning left, Ning Xihua finally had the opportunity to ask about the follow-up of the assassination.

"Song Yi, what's the situation with the prince?"

Song Yi described in detail what had happened in the past two days. When she mentioned that the token of the Third Prince's mansion was found, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

It seems that there is a lot of water involved in this assassination attempt.

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bypassed the guards last night and stayed in the tent to guard the princess for the entire night."

Song Yi felt a little emotional. The princess blocked arrows for the prince, and the prince kept watch for the princess. These two people really loved each other.

Ning Xihua was a little surprised when she heard this, but she felt inexplicably sweet in her heart.

………

Since Dong Gong was assassinated, the autumn hunt could not go on and ended hastily under the order of Emperor Shao Yuan.

Ning Xihua rested peacefully at home while recuperating from her injuries, and lived the stay-at-home life she had always dreamed of.

She thought she would not be able to see Su Bi until her injury healed, but she did not expect this person to play by his own rules.

"How did you get in?"

Ning Xihua woke up and saw the man leisurely reading a book beside her bed, and her head suddenly became as heavy as a bucket.

This was in broad daylight! He was not afraid of being caught when he broke into her room in broad daylight!

Seeing that she was awake, Su Bi put down the book, stood up, poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "She climbed over the wall and got in."

Ning Xihua: ???

Are the guards at Prince Ning's mansion just for show? They didn't even know someone climbed over the wall and got in in broad daylight?

Of course Su Bi would not tell her that when he climbed over the wall to come in, he ran into Prince Ning returning to Yan's residence.

The two looked at each other awkwardly for a long while. Finally, he paid a respectful visit to Prince Ning from a distance. Prince Ning stared at him for a long time before leaving in anger, but he tacitly allowed him to enter and leave Yan Guiju.

Su Bi helped Ning Xihua half sit up and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

Ning Xihua took a sip of hot tea, and her dry throat instantly felt relieved.

"Where's Song Yi? Did you buy that girl off again?"

Su Bi was a little amused. "You are quite a clever maid. Well, you have good sense."

Ning Xihua, why don't you two follow the usual path?

Out of girlish thoughts, she was thankful that she didn't have to see Su Bi during this period of time, so she could sort out her emotions.

After all, it was her first time falling in love and she had no experience.

I thought it would be awkward to see Su Bi again, but I didn't expect that the two of us got along as naturally and casually as ever.

"You haven't thanked me yet!" Ning Xihua said somewhat arrogantly.

Su Bi smiled again and said, "Thank you, Princess Yue Xi, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you, but..."

Su Bi raised the corners of her mouth and drew out her tone, but swallowed the rest of her words and said nothing more.

Ning Xihua's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't take it too seriously. She even secretly scolded herself for being useless. Just a few words made her heart flutter. What's the big deal? They were used to teasing each other before.

"In fact, even if I hadn't blocked the arrow, you might still be fine. I think you are too kind to save my life."

Su Bi shook his head and said seriously: "No, this is a real life-saving favor."

Ning Xihua looked confused.

"You should know that I am not suffering from a chronic illness, but poisoned."

Ning Xihua nodded in acknowledgement. She did learn from Bai Luoqiu the causes and consequences of his poisoning.

Su Bi smoothed her hair which was a little messy from sleeping, and slowly explained the whole story.

After listening to it, Ning Xihua raised her hands in shock and observed them carefully. This must be the hand of God!

How could she have grabbed such a precious herb just by grabbing it before she passed out? And it just happened to be able to cure the poison in Su Bi's body? This world is really amazing.

However, she was a little confused. "Since the arrow was coated with medicine, why not apply some deadly poison on it? Why go to all that trouble?"

Su Bi explained, "Because the emperor of the previous dynasty died of poisoning, the Dali Dynasty has strictly controlled the medicinal materials that can be made into lethal poisons. If this kind of poison is used, there will always be some clues from the source of the medicinal materials."

Ning Xihua suddenly realized, "So the person behind the scenes didn't dare to use poison in order to hide his tracks, but instead used a potion that could trigger your old poison?"

She slapped her head and said, "How could the person behind the scenes know that you were poisoned? This clearly shows that there is a traitor on your side!"

Su Bi smiled. The little girl was still so smart.

"So do you think it was Su Xu who assassinated me this time?"

Ning Xihua pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I don't think so."

"What do you mean?"

"Leaving the token at the scene is a bit too deliberate. If Su Xu did it, it would be too stupid."

Although Su Xu is conceited, he is not so stupid.

"I feel like the person behind the scenes did it on purpose. Although they knew something was fishy, ​​they pushed Su Xu in front of everyone and made the emperor and the court officials suspect him, and the person behind the scenes achieved his goal."

Ning Xihua raised her eyes and looked at Su Bi, "To be honest, if I didn't know that this assassination was real, I would almost suspect that you did it."

Su Bi was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
