"Is there something wrong with the rouge she gave me?" Xi Lan asked, full of doubt. "How could this be? I've used that rouge before, and there was nothing wrong with it!"
Hongli, however, thought she was making excuses. "This rouge is the most compelling evidence. Tell me honestly, what drug did you use?"
"I swear to God, I really didn't drug him, Fourth Master, please believe me!" Seeing that the Fourth Master remained unmoved, Xi Lan turned to the tent side and anxiously said to Su Yushan:
“Sister, I didn’t drug you. We get along so well, why would I harm you? Even if I did have that intention, I wouldn’t put drugs in your rouge! I sent it to you, it’s easy to find out. Why would I do something so foolish?”
After listening to their conversation from behind the curtain, Su Yushan had already made a judgment in her mind: "This rouge was a gift from Sister Lan on my birthday. I use it often. If there were really a problem, I should have developed a rash long ago. Why is there an abnormality only today?"

Helpless, Xilan had no choice but to take her leave, feeling uneasy.
After she left, Hongli immediately instructed Li Yu to send men to closely monitor Xilan's every move.
Having given his orders, Hongli turned to go into the tent, only to find the crimson curtains already drawn, with Su Yushan still hiding inside. He cried out in alarm, "Warning!"
"Don't come any closer, don't look at me!"
