Xue Huan frowned: "Let me go."
Pei Ji seemed not to hear.
Xue Huan stared at his back. At this moment, the feeling of being torn apart in her heart became even stronger. Pei Ji would never treat her like this.
But where did she get this perception from? In fact, Pei Ji treated her like this.
She shook off his hand. Maybe she was no match for him if they really fought, but if she competed with strength, she could leave him far behind.
"What happened to Yi'er?"
Pei Ji spoke quickly: "Yai'er has been poisoned and is unconscious. His condition is very dangerous. The imperial physician is helpless. If he is not detoxified within two quarters of an hour, he will die! The nurse said that you spoke to Ai'er before you left."
Xue Huan's voice turned cold: "So you suspect I poisoned him?"
Pei Ji remained silent, but undoubtedly agreed.
Xue Huan was filled with anger. She felt that her previous love for him was simply wasted!
Flying is not allowed in the city, but Pei Ji no longer cared about this rule. He summoned his flying sword and took Xue Huan with him. In a few breaths, he returned to the Prince's Mansion and landed directly in Pei Ya's yard.
After dismounting the flying sword, Xue Huan turned her head and said to Pei Ji, "The reason I came back with you is not because I poisoned Ya'er, but because I wanted to see if I could save him."
Xue Huan walked into the room. Little Pei Ya, who had been so lively and energetic just a few moments ago, was now lying on the bed with a pale face and a wrinkled face, obviously in pain.
Noticing her coming in, Concubine Mo Xue, who was guarding the bed, rushed over and grabbed her hand, "Miss Xue, please save Ai'er! As long as you can cure Ai'er of the poison, I will do anything you ask me to do, even giving up the position of Crown Princess."
These words were like roasting Xue Huan on the fire, and the looks of everyone in the room looking at her suddenly became meaningful.
Pei Ji's eyes were like icy thorns.
Xue Huan's expression changed. She brushed away Mo Xuefei's hand and asked word by word, "Really? What if I asked you to die?"
Pei Ji shouted coldly: "Xue Huan!"
Xue Huan watched him embrace Mo Xuefei in his arms like a protector, and suddenly felt disgusted. What was it about him that she liked before? Was it his face?
She twitched her lips. "Didn't the Crown Princess say she would do anything? If you can't do it, don't make the promise. Besides, I haven't even seen the young prince yet, so I don't know his condition at all. I don't even know if I can be saved, but the Crown Princess knows."
Mo Xuefei leaned weakly in Pei Ji's arms, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Even at this moment, she cried very beautifully, and I felt pity for her. "Miss Xue, I'm sorry, I'm so anxious that I'm at a loss. Please take a look at Yan'er."
Xue Huan stopped talking to her and came to the bedside. However, she knew nothing about medicine and could not see anything. She could only feel that Pei Ya's life force was gradually weakening.
"What did the imperial physician say?"
A royal physician stepped forward and said, "This poison is extremely rare. There is a way to detoxify it, but it requires a special ingredient—dragon blood. But where can we find dragon blood right now?"
Xue Huan's hands trembled at the mention of "dragon blood." Could it be that the person behind the poisoning of Pei Yi was targeting her? However, the Sky-Blocking Pearl around her neck was still securely fastened, and her membership in the Dragon Clan hadn't been revealed at all.
Or was she overthinking it?
"I know who has dragon blood. You guys prepare the medicine first, I'll be back soon." Xue Huan stood up and walked out.
When she passed by Pei Ji, he grabbed her wrist. She raised her eyes and looked at him with a cold and calm expression. "Why, Your Highness, are you afraid that I'll run away?"
Pei Ji slowly let go of his hand, "Be careful."
The moment Xue Huan stepped out of the door, her figure suddenly disappeared. After a while, she came back with a small jade bottle in her hand, which contained three drops of golden-red dragon blood.
With dragon blood as the medicine guide, Pei Yi coughed violently after taking the medicine and coughed up a pool of black blood, but the imperial physician was relieved.
"The poison has been cured, young prince. Just drink a few more doses of medicine to remove the remaining poison from your body, and you will be well again."
Mo Xuefei cried with joy, tears falling like pearls from a broken string. Pei Ji held her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Okay, don't cry, Yan'er is fine now."
Concubine Mo Xue nodded, but suddenly her body softened and she fell down. Pei Ji hurriedly hugged her, lifted her up and placed her on the couch, "Xue'er! Imperial Physician, come and see the Crown Princess!"
The imperial physician stepped forward to check Concubine Mo Xue's pulse. At the end, a hint of joy appeared on his face. He bowed to Pei Ji and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! The Empress is pregnant."
Pei Ji was stunned, then overjoyed. He knelt on one knee in front of the couch, took Mo Xuefei's hand in his palm, lowered his head and kissed her, "Xue'er, that's great, we're going to have another child."
Looking at this scene, Xue Huan still felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of her love for Pei Ji, but simply because she felt uncomfortable seeing his face next to another woman.
She originally thought she liked him, but it turned out that what she liked was just his face. So when he did something inconsistent with his face, she could simply withdraw her feelings.
Walking out of the house, Xue Huan let out a breath.
Pei Ji followed, "Hanhuan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you this time——"
"Don't call me Huanhuan. You can't call me Huanhuan." Xue Huan said in a light tone.
Pei Ji put a hand on her shoulder, "Okay, don't scream, I--"
Xue Huan took a step forward, avoiding his hand, and looked at him coldly and with a bit of disgust. After realizing her feelings for him, she found that if she took off that face, this man was really greasy. She had originally looked at him purely through a filter.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make any moves."
Pei Ji was choked, "Let's talk over there."
He took the lead and walked towards a pavilion outside the yard.
"What are you doing to me now...but how did I make you angry?"
As soon as Pei Ji opened his mouth, Xue Huan wanted to kick him. He was just overjoyed about his wife's pregnancy, but now he turned around and asked her such a question.
So her first crush was on this scumbag?
Xue Huan felt suffocated just thinking about it, but simply looking at his face still made her feel pleasant. She wished he would just stop talking.
"No, I just suddenly realized something. Is there anything else you need? If not, I'll be leaving now. If you're any later, I won't be able to catch the teleportation array."
Pei Ji: “…”
"The murderer who poisoned Yi'er this time has not been found yet. I hope you can stay and help me find the murderer."
Xue Huan: "I said I'd help you find the murderer, but you still haven't given up your suspicion of me, right?"
"No, I believe you. I was too impatient before and that's why I said that to you. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Xue Huan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I'll stay for three more days at most. If you haven't found the murderer by then, I'll leave."
She was also somewhat concerned about the murderer behind the scenes.
