Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled even more slyly at Nangong Muchi's plan. Her beautiful eyes were crescent-shaped and the smile on the corners of her mouth made Nangong Muchi feel a little numb.

Situ Xunxiao looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting's smile, and the corner of his mouth moved. This woman, what did she just say, the best of both worlds? He raised his eyebrows, and then heard Zongzheng Xiaoting slowly speak, "Prince Regent, you forgot, I told you, I won't treat you badly. Look, does my prince like this dish as much as you do?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words then turned to Situ Xunxiao. Hearing these words, the faces of the two grown men changed slightly, but Nangong Muchi became delighted, while Situ Xunxiao frowned.

"When you say the best of both worlds, do you mean you want to benefit me?" Nangong Muxi's brows immediately lit up with joy. Nothing was more satisfying than seeing a good friend in a dilemma. And according to this situation, he was definitely the one who was enjoying the show. It seemed that he was not the only one who couldn't get used to his good friend's calm look.

Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "The Regent Prince is indeed very smart. Think about it, this princess charged you fifty taels, if someone wants to share a piece of the pie, how much do you want to resell it? This is just like doing business. When a store buys in large quantities, should it raise the price when selling individually to make some money from the store rent?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Nangong Muxi's eyes sparkle. He glanced at Situ Xunxiao teasingly, with an evil smile on his face. "I thought I could eat with Xunxiao, but now I think this idea is better than eating with him."

"Of course. If the Regent feels it's a good idea and needs my full support, I will just take a small share of the profits. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"

"Do you all think that I am dead?" Situ Xunxiao put down his chopsticks and glanced coldly. However, this might be useful to outsiders, but to Zongzheng Xiaoting and Nangong Muchi, it would only make them more complacent and unscrupulous.

"How could the prince die when he's still alive? It's unlucky." Nangong Muxi smiled evilly.

"That's right. If you die, won't I be a widow? It will take a while for me to remarry and find someone who can accept you. How pitiful is that? Although there are suitable people, I am still very loyal." Zong Zheng Xiaoting glared at him, but the words in his mouth made Situ Xunxiao narrow his eyes.

Remarry? Forget it.

Standing up suddenly, Situ Xunxiao half-closed his eyes and said, "Zongzheng Xiaoting, don't even think about it."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, whose wrist was suddenly clamped, noticed Situ Xunxiao's eyes were full of terrifying anger. She was a little puzzled for a moment, but Situ Xunxiao's next words made her even more furious.

“Zongzheng Xiaoting, don’t forget your current identity. Gongsun Zixing and you really have feelings for each other. I am a little suspicious. Did you do it on purpose or accidentally when I got drunk? Did you scheme against me or did I scheme against you?” Nangong Muxi, who had never seen his friend act like this, was also shocked. Situ Xunxiao cared about Zongzheng Xiaoting so much that he would never be so easily teased. If he allowed things to develop like this, I’m afraid that with Zongzheng Xiaoting’s temper…

However, even though Mu Xi reacted quickly, he was still not as quick as Zong Zheng Xiaoting's anger.

When Nangong Muxi was about to pull away from his friend, his frown suddenly relaxed, and Zongzheng Xiaoting had a blank expression on his face. Nangong Muxi saw this and secretly said, "Xunxiao, you've gone too far with this joke."

He was looking for a step for his friend, but he never thought that Situ Xunxiao would reply, "I am very sober." At this moment, Zongzheng Xiaoting's eyes also turned cold.

"Even if this princess plotted against you, so what?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's tone showed no emotion or anger, and he was not like some people who slapped Situ Xunxiao in anger. In this way, compared with the iceberg, who was colder? This made Nangong Muxi put away his cynical look.

"You cannot bear the wrath of this king."

As soon as Situ Xunxiao said this, Zongzheng Xiaoting let go of his hand and threw him over his shoulder without hesitation. His wrist was tightly held, and bruises were faintly visible. He glanced at Situ Xunxiao coldly and rubbed his wrist with his right hand, "The trust between the two of us is so low. It really surprised me. Lord Zhan, it's better for us not to meet."

Mu Xi, who was anxiously watching, could not help but gasp when he saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting rubbing the bruises on his wrists. Because Zong Zheng Xiaoting was too deeply poisoned, his physical condition was already prone to blood clogs due to injuries. Xun Xiao's strength just now was obviously not light, and he could vaguely see how shocking the bruises on Zong Zheng Xiaoting's wrists were.

Just when Zong Zheng Xiaoting left, Situ Xunxiao was about to follow him. Noticing Situ Xunxiao's abnormality, Nangong Muxi pressed Situ Xunxiao's acupuncture points without hesitation. With a frown on his face, he looked at Situ Xunxiao, who was standing there in a daze and glaring at him. He was more certain of his suspicion that Xunxiao was too abnormal tonight. If it weren't for Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words and jokes, would they have not noticed this for a long time?

"Nighthawk." Nangong Muxi called into the darkness.

"Your Highness." Nighthawk looked at his master who had been acupunctured and looked at Nangong Muxi in confusion.

"Where's Xiaoyin?"

"Here." Nighthawk handed the little silver to Nangong Muchi. Originally, he was going to give it back to the princess after she had eaten and drunk her fill. However, he never expected that the banquet would end in a bad mood.

Although he was the apprentice of the poisonous doctor, he could only make poison and nothing else, so he couldn't check on Situ Xunxiao at all. Sighing helplessly, Nangong Muxi took Xiaoyin and asked it, "Little guy, go and see if your master is poisoned."

The little silver in his palm suddenly jumped onto Situ Xunxiao's body, then jumped back, but with its claws and teeth bared, shaking its head desperately.

Seeing Xiaoyin's irritable look, Nangong Muxi was startled. With a stern look in his red eyes, he glanced at Nighthawk and asked, "What did your master come into contact with today?"

"Today?" Nighthawk saw Nangong Muxi's serious expression, and his heart trembled. He hurriedly tried to recall. After a long pause, he asked suspiciously, "Today, Yingxue Mountain Manor sent a letter to the princess. Because the person who came was sneaky, the prince thought something was wrong, so he stopped to read the letter, and nothing else unusual happened."
