Yun Xi was about to ask further when Zongzheng Fengyi on the other side realized that his thoughts had been led astray by Yun Xi.
[Shameless!]
[How dare she try to get information from me by provoking me! Such a despicable person. If I hadn't been drugged, how could I have fallen for such a trick so easily!]
Glowering angrily at Yun Xi, Zongzheng Fengyi bit down hard on his own wrist. His sharp teeth pierced the skin, and bright red blood instantly welled up.
The sudden pain jolted Zongzheng Fengyi back to full awareness.
Mustering the last bit of his inner strength, Zongzheng Fengyi raised his palm and struck forcefully at Yun Xi.
Yi Yuan didn't even think and waved his sleeve to meet the attack.
With a loud "bang!", the two forces collided. As the energy scattered in all directions, the light objects in the room were shaken out of place.
Fortunately, Yun Xi had used a strong dose of the drug to disperse his internal energy, so Zongzheng Fengyi's desperate strike didn't carry much power. Otherwise, with their martial arts skills, the commotion would have been much louder and more intense.
In the blink of an eye, Zongzheng Fengyi had used the rebounding force to instantly move to the door.
"Want to run?"
Yi Yuan's phoenix eyes turned cold. With a soft shout, he flashed to the door in an instant. He stretched out his long arm and pushed the door that Zongzheng Fengyi had just pried open a crack shut again.
"Little Xi hasn't finished speaking yet. Is it a bit too rude for the Seventh Prince to be in such a hurry to leave?"
Zongzheng Fengyi: I ¥/&%$\@!
Yun Xi came back to her senses from Zongzheng Fengyi's sudden movement. Hearing Yi Yuan's words, she almost burst out laughing.
Zongzheng Fengyi was originally very vigilant. Now that he realized he had been tricked, his mind would surely become even more determined, and it would be even harder to get any information from him.
Moreover, a lot of time had passed. If they delayed any longer, the people outside would surely come looking soon. They had to leave quickly and leave this place for the ones who were supposed to play their parts.
Yun Xi quickly calculated in her mind. She gave Yi Yuan a subtle look, indicating that the questioning was over.
Yi Yuan nodded imperceptibly. With a light wave of his hand, he scattered a fine pink powder like flour over Zongzheng Fengyi.
"The Love Spring Powder!?"
Zongzheng Fengyi was stunned and instinctively covered his nose and mouth. Unfortunately, under the influence of the drug, his movements were much slower than usual. Although he finally managed to cover them, he still inhaled quite a bit of the powder.
Casually waving the powder in front of him away, Yi Yuan's pitch - black eyes that seemed to contain stars were filled with indescribable fierceness:
"Why is the Seventh Prince so surprised?"
"You used such dirty and despicable means on Little Xi. Can't I use them on you?"
He withdrew his hand from the door. Yi Yuan's cold voice became even more emotionless:
"Lin An, come and take the Seventh Prince back to the bed."
After saying that, he patted the hem of his clothes, stretched out his well - defined hand towards Yun Xi, and said:
"Little Xi, let's go. Let's go outside and wait for the good show."
Gently curving her lips, Yun Xi nodded and replied, "Okay." She simply passed by Zongzheng Fengyi, only nodding slightly to Lin An who silently pushed the door open and entered. She didn't even spare a single glance for Zongzheng Fengyi on the ground.
"You... How dare you..."
Staring at Lin An approaching him step by step with shocked and wide - open eyes, Zongzheng Fengyi instinctively stepped back.
Being with a man... He might as well die!
He would send his troops! He would send his troops immediately! He would raze the Great Yin to the ground, tear all these Great Yin mongrels into pieces, and throw them to the wild beasts in the mass graves to avenge today's humiliation!
Yun Xi: This...
If Lin An knew about Zongzheng Fengyi's crazy thoughts, he would surely feel extremely unlucky.
Shaking her head helplessly, Yun Xi decided to reassure Zongzheng Fengyi kindly. So she stopped and said:
"The Seventh Prince doesn't need to worry. Lin An is A Yuan's personal bodyguard. We wouldn't let him suffer such a big loss."
"The prince is of noble birth, so the person we arrange for the prince must be well - matched. Otherwise, wouldn't it be an insult to the Seventh Prince's extremely noble status?"
At this time, Lin An had just grabbed Zongzheng Fengyi's arm and was about to roughly throw him onto the couch.
Suddenly hearing Yun Xi's words, he immediately understood. His face instantly changed. He loosened his hand and disgustedly threw Zongzheng Fengyi with a "thud" to... the foot of the bed.
It made Zongzheng Fengyi see stars.
"How dare you..."
Zongzheng Fengyi was so angry that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat. He originally wanted to let out an angry shout to show his authority, but the moment the words came out, under the effect of the Love Spring Powder, they instantly changed in tone.
The scene instantly changed from Lin An's single - handed disgust to the disgust of four people. This included - Zongzheng Fengyi himself.
Just at this delicate moment, Mian Xiao and Ling Yan, who had "fainted" earlier, carried a person wrapped tightly over.
Yun Xi immediately stepped forward. While reaching out to lift the quilt to confirm the person inside, she asked:
"You've worked hard. How did you deal with the people around Yi Zhen? Will it cause any trouble?"
"Miss, don't worry,"
Ling Yan pushed the person onto Mian Xiao and stepped out to stand beside Yun Xi and replied:
"The two of us were very careful all the way and didn't let anyone see."
"I don't know what this Fourth Princess wanted to do. She dismissed her attendants and said she wanted to rest for a while, strictly forbidding anyone to disturb her. But then she secretly changed her clothes and slipped out of the room avoiding people."
"Mian Xiao had been keeping an eye on her movements. When he saw that she had come to us on her own, he was happy to take advantage of the situation. Without waiting for me to respond, he immediately knocked her out, wrapped her up, and brought her here without attracting anyone's attention."
"Oh?"
Yun Xi looked curiously at Yi Zhen in the quilt, who had lost her senses and had an unnatural blush on her cheeks.
What kind of shady thing was it that made Yi Zhen lower her status and even disguise herself as a palace maid to do it?
And at this crucial moment.
Logically speaking, after Yi Zhen had framed her, she should have been active at the front hall banquet to clear herself of any suspicion. Then she should have found a reasonable excuse at the right time to bring a large group of people to watch her and Zongzheng Fengyi's scandal.
Why did she even involve herself in suspicion?
It seemed that the thing Yi Zhen was going to do was extremely important.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows: She wondered if she could get any information from Yi Zhen if she asked her now?
After all, Yi Zhen had tried to harm her several times, and today she had even sent someone to drug her with that dirty drug. If she hadn't been on guard and known that Yi Zhen wouldn't let it go easily, she might have already been forced into a relationship with Zongzheng Fengyi!
Now she was putting Yi Zhen on Zongzheng Fengyi's bed, which was just returning the favor in kind.
However, this could at most ruin Yi Zhen's reputation. If she married Zongzheng Fengyi, this incident wouldn't be considered a big stain.
And with Emperor Zhaohuan's favor for her, this matter might even be suppressed.
If that happened, wouldn't all her plans come to nothing?
For some reason, as Yun Xi was thinking, the half - human - tall painting underground in the Jianjia Palace suddenly flashed through her mind.
What was the relationship between Yi Zhen and that person?
Could the reason for Yi Zhen's risky trip be related to this?
Thinking of this, Yun Xi was greatly inspired. She reached out to touch Yi Zhen's skin.
This time... Maybe she could grab a big handle on Yi Zhen!
With a sneaky and evil smile, Yun Xi immediately touched Yi Zhen's cheek. However, before she could ask, Yi Zhen's delicate and amorous voice had already entered her mind:
[A Yuan...]
