Qi Xing stared at Su Man and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look a little haggard. Did you encounter any troubles in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Su Man shook her head. "No, I'm just a little tired."
"I see."
Qi Xing's eyes were deep. "It is said that husband and wife are one. If there is anything you want to know about me, you can tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
Having said that, Su Man also understood that Qi Xing must have guessed that she was suspicious of him and planned to make her confess.

“…”
Hearing this, Su Man even wanted to applaud Qi Xing.
As expected of a prince, he easily put the blame on the queen. If she didn't believe him, he could just use the Dongzhu given by the queen to justify his actions. His argument was truly impeccable.
