Before the gun accidentally went off, Situ Xunxiao finally let his reason prevail over his emotions and let go of Zongzheng Xiaoting.

He was seen panting heavily and said to Zongzheng Xiaoting in a rough voice, "Don't light the fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen leaving the inner room in a hurry, as if he was escaping.

Watching the other party fleeing, Zong Zheng Xiaoting continued to eat his unfinished food in a good mood. Not long after, Zhou Miao appeared outside the house, "Is the princess asleep?"

"Is it urgent?" Xiaohong asked.

"I don't know either. But I think the princess will definitely want to know." Zhou Miao scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly at Xiaohong.

"Wait a minute." Xiaohong nodded slightly and turned to go into the inner room. She quickly came out and led Zhou Miao in.

"Please sit down." Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved his hand before Zhou Miao knelt down, exempting him from the formality.

"Yes." Zhou Miao sat upright and handed the medicine in his hand to Xiaohong with some embarrassment. "Princess, can you take a look? This is what I just got."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took the things Xiaohong handed over and gently opened the paper package. What came into view was some yellow powder-like substance. The quantity was not large but the packaging was very secretive.

"What is this?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned.

"My Lord, I just showed this to Doctor Chen, and he confirmed that it is medicinal powder."

"What kind of medicine powder?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised her eyebrows. She knew very well in her heart that if it was not a special medicine, Zhou Miao would never come to disturb her in the middle of the night.

"It can be used to attract people and can also be addictive."

"Oh?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting sat up straight. "Such a secret thing must be handled with great care. How could you get it? Who did it belong to?"

"Didn't the master say that we should be careful of the people related to the Prince's Mansion?" Zhou Miao was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head. "The maid beside the Crown Princess accepted the Crown Princess's request and left the palace for a while. I followed her secretly and happened to encounter her being molested by the thief. I was worried that the things he wanted to take would be discovered, so I tried to rescue him. Unexpectedly, she threw herself into my arms and I took the opportunity to lead the way."

Seeing Zhou Miao's face getting redder and redder as he spoke, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile deepened.

"Then I want to know what the general did after throwing himself into her arms?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyes with a teasing smile, "It has been said since ancient times that heroes are hard to resist the temptation of beautiful women. I remember that the women around the Crown Princess were all graceful and beautiful."

"I dare not. I...I am innocent!"

"Pfft..." Zhou Miao's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting spit out the tea in his mouth and bent over with laughter.

She has always known that Zhou Miao is a very efficient but somewhat shy guy. And a man like him needs to be matched with a woman like Xiaohong, who is as considerate as dust and yet can be considerate. Since the two of them have no other thoughts about other people, it is not a bad idea for her to be a matchmaker.

That's why he wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually use "innocent" to prove that he is...clean.

I always feel that these innocent words are what a woman should say, but when they come out of his mouth, they inevitably make people feel cute and funny.

Zhou Miao couldn't help but feel even more angry when his master laughed at him.

"I just want to know, what did he do after he got the powder? Who questioned your innocence?"

Is that so? Why do I feel vaguely that the master didn't do it unintentionally?

"Give it to the Crown Princess."

Zong Zheng Yunchun?

Seeing that Zong Zheng Yunchun was confused, Zhou Miao said, "Master, don't worry. After my subordinate was switched, I immediately followed suit and put a powder that didn't belong to this kind of medicine on her body, so it won't be discovered for a while."

"I understand. Please pay more attention to the Crown Princess' every move. You have been hard-working these days." Zong Zheng Xiaoting retracted his smile and nodded seriously at Zhou Miao.

This night was destined to be a busy night. Not long after Zhou Miao left, Nangong Muxi also came to Zongzheng Xiaoting's courtyard, and he sneaked in stealthily.

"I'm afraid that the Regent Prince's actions will be seen by unknown people. I'm afraid that you and I can't wash ourselves clean even if we jump into the Yellow River." Zongzheng Xiaoting said teasingly with a smile.

"Although I came in secretly and in night clothes, didn't I also report before entering?" The Danfeng eyes curled up slightly with a charming evil charm, and blinked at Zongzheng Xiaoting.

"It seems that the Crown Princess's move-in is not only a nuisance to me, but also to you." Zong Zheng Xiaoting put aside his smile and looked at Nangong Muxi seriously.

"It is because I know that I dare not act alone, for fear that if you also take action, we will interfere with each other." Nangong Muxi chose a seat and sat down without any courtesy. He put away his nonchalant face and restored his serious and serious face. "I came here today not only for the Crown Princess's matter, but also for Xun Xiao's poison!"

"It's already the fifth day, and tomorrow will be the sixth day. Time has really passed too quickly." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed, "You and I have been trying our best to distract him these days, and to follow Doctor Chen's idea to prevent him from being exposed to and thinking too much about other things. If everything goes as we wish, we can suppress the speed of the poison and try to make it through the sixth day. But tonight, I feel that although he has been thinking about how to coax me and stop me from getting angry these days, he has not forgotten the purpose of coming here!"

Thinking of this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting became more worried.

"That's why I'm even more worried. I originally thought that things were not that complicated, but now it seems that things are becoming more and more confusing." Nangong Muxi agreed.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw that the other party was worried and seemed to be troubled by something, so he asked, "Nangong Muxi, did you find anything?"

"The originator of the snake poison may have been identified."

"Who?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The concubine in the Crown Prince's mansion." Nangong Muxi said, "But whether it can be confirmed still needs an expert in detoxifying the snake poison. But we only have this clue now. If we deduce it this way, is the Crown Princess's purpose in entering my palace really just because she is infatuated with Xun Xiao?"
