Upon hearing this, Ryan immediately said, "I'll have the doctor come and take a look at you."
“No need, I’ll just go back and get some sleep.” Bernita’s eyes darted away. “Your Highness, please continue to stay with the Queen. Don’t worry about me.”
With that, Bernita pushed Ryan away and walked out.
Ryan watched Bernita's retreating figure, his brow furrowing slightly.
Even Shi Xi noticed the change in how Bernita addressed Ryan, so he naturally noticed Bernita's distance from him.
"Stop looking, they've all disappeared." Shi Xi glanced at him.
"What's wrong with her?" Ryan didn't understand.
Shi Xi said slowly, "You're marrying me tomorrow, so it's normal for her to act strangely, right?"
Ryan let out a breath. "Oh, I see."
Shi Xi: ?
Why are you so relieved?
“Bernita just drugged the tea.” Shi Xi glanced at the cup on the ground, where the tea had spilled onto the street, and only a little bit remained in the cup.
"Drugs? What kind of drugs?" Ryan asked in surprise.
"How would I know?" Shi Xi said, "She gave me the drugged tea, and I gave it to you."
Ryan's face darkened. "Aren't you afraid something will happen to me?"
Shi Xi waved her hand, "Don't worry, even if she didn't interrupt you, I wouldn't let you drink it."
Ryan's expression changed several times, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he beckoned his subordinate to come in and take the teacup for testing.
"What do you want from me?" Shi Xi asked. "Just to come and look at my wedding dress?"
"Just a heads-up, the wedding might be a bit chaotic tomorrow," Ryan said in a low voice.
"OK." Shi Xi guessed that these "adults" were going to do something.
However, since it was none of her business, she decided not to get involved.
“My words may be a bit redundant,” Shi Xi couldn’t help but say, “but if you still care about your sister, you’d better go and comfort her.”
Judging from Bernita's expression, one could guess that Ryan had been keeping everything he did from her.
Ryan said, "I'll explain to her once everything has settled down." Some things are better left unsaid.
Even Shi Xi didn't know much.
“Okay.” Shi Xi shrugged.
If even Ryan doesn't care, she cares even less.
Anyway, she'll be free after tomorrow.
Shi Xi continued to admire her wedding dress look.
If you took a picture of this and made it into a photocard, it would definitely look great!
However, she will be back soon!
Just thinking about it makes me happy!

The ingredients in the tea were quickly identified.
It is a highly toxic cyanide.
Even a tiny bit is enough to be fatal.
Ryan stared at the report on the table, his face ashen.
If he actually drank that cup of tea, then forget about tomorrow's plans.
He can be laid to rest today.
Having grown up with Bernita, he never knew she would do such a thing.
Ryan lit the report and threw it into the brazier, his eyes reflecting the flickering flames, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
A knock came at the door.
"Come in."
Ryan looked up and saw that it was Shi Xi who had entered.
"Why are you here?" Ryan asked in surprise. Ever since he brought Shi Xi to the palace, she had been well-behaved and had never come looking for him.
Shi Xi changed into a long dress, the belt tied into a bow, looking both elegant and playful. "Come over here and ask about the test results! How was it? What kind of medicine was put in the tea?"
Thinking of what he had just seen, Ryan subconsciously concealed the truth, saying, "It's nothing, just a little anesthetic that will make people fall asleep."
