Pei Yi ignored Xie Zhichan's unhappy look and explained, "I heard from Danfeng that I almost died on the road that day, and it was the young lady who saved my life in time. So I came here specially to thank the young lady for saving my life and to save her once."
Xie Zhichan said, "Prince Pei repelled the Turks, pacified the northern border, and saved the people from danger. I saved your life for the sake of the people of the world. You don't have to be polite. As for what you mean by saving my life, I don't know what you mean."
Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Miss Xie, why don't you come with me to the rockery and sit down and wait for a good show."
When Xie Zhichan heard the word "good show", it seemed that Pei Yi knew the Lu family's plan and also knew what would happen in this room.
As she turned around, she suddenly remembered that the acacia incense in the room had been extinguished by her cup of tea. Without this good prop, the good show might not be able to be performed.
So, she reached into her sleeve, and with a thought, she took out a pill of the enhanced version of Hehuan Powder she had developed from the space, threw it into the incense burner, and pushed Pei Yi, saying, "Let's go."
When they got outside and closed the door, they saw that there was indeed a rockery in the yard, with winding paths leading to a secluded place. They then pushed Pei Yi behind the rockery.
If no one came in specifically to admire the rockery, they would not notice that there was anyone inside.
Xie Zhichan found a stone a little further away from Pei Yi and sat on it.
In her haste just now, she had not thought about the incident with Pei Yi in the hot spring pool. Thinking about it now, she felt a little guilty, fearing that Pei Yi would recognize her. After all, she had brutally stabbed Pei Yi twice, although both attempts failed.
Although Pei Yi was sitting in a wheelchair at this time and had lost the ability to suppress her with force, he was a natural military commander and his aura of oppression remained undiminished, which made her feel that it was better to keep her distance from him.
So Xie Zhichan just sat there quietly without saying a word, wishing she could shrink her head and act like a quail so that Pei Yi would not pay attention to her.
Before Pei Yi met Xie Zhichan, he had already seen her appearance from Dan Feng's description and Hua Manxi's writing. In the quick glance just now, he also thought that she was a charming girl.
Seeing her sitting there gently and quietly at the side, she was so beautiful that she deserved the title of "goddess fairy" in Danfeng's mouth. Hua Manxi's pen probably only captured one-fourth of Miss Xie's beauty.
Pei Yi recalled what Master Ye said in his mind. Could such a little girl really have the extraordinary medical skills to bring the dead back to life?
Suddenly, he thought of what she had thrown into the incense burner, so he decided to use this as a breakthrough point to test it out, "What did Miss Xie just throw into the incense burner?"
Pei Yi took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence between the two.
Xie Zhichan couldn't ignore them, so he replied, "The enhanced version of Hehuan Powder, turns into mist when it comes into contact with water, leaving no trace, and can only be cured by that. They want to plot against me, so I'll let them know what it means to shoot themselves in the foot."
After saying that, he casually broke off a thumb-thick branch of the bush next to him.
The crisp sound of "click" made Pei Yi's heart tremble. Why did he feel so familiar with Miss Xie's ferocious look?
Just as he was distracted, he heard Xie Zhichan curiously ask, "How did Master Pei know the tricks of the Lu Mansion?"
If he knew nothing, he wouldn't have specially invited her here to watch the show.
Pei Yi said, "I just paid more attention to the affairs of the aristocratic families in the capital, and I just happened to know that Princess Yongtai recently visited the Lu Mansion and forced Madam Lu to marry her."
Xie Zhichan said: "I didn't expect that Master Pei also knew about the things in the back house."
Her original intention was to lament the power of Pei Yi's intelligence network, but to Pei Yi, it sounded like she was mocking him for not being upright enough in paying attention to women's affairs in the harem.
Subconsciously, he explained, "The Prince of Yan's Mansion has a special status. Now, it is increasingly suspected by the current emperor, so it has to be careful and cautious in its actions in the capital. The noble families are intertwined with each other, and the relationship is complicated. If the Prince of Yan's Mansion wants to avoid getting involved in the muddy water and not be implicated, it has to find out the backyard of the noble families."
Xie Zhichan nodded and said, "Prince Pei is very thoughtful, worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Northern Frontier."
Pei Yi could tell that these words were a compliment to him, and for a moment he felt a little embarrassed.
His father was a strict father who was always reluctant to give praise. His mother died early and never saw him go to the battlefield. Most of his sisters lived in the backyard and were not close to him.
This was the first time that a beautiful girl praised him sincerely and talked to him as an equal. This was an experience he had never had in his life.
It made him feel fresh and a little bit at a loss.
He couldn't help wanting to talk to the girl in front of him for a few more words. Recalling that she almost stabbed him with a needle when he entered the room, he asked, "I see that you seem to be prepared for today's events. So Miss Xie had already guessed that the Lu family had bad intentions? How did Miss Xie know?"
Xie Zhichan nodded and said, "It's not hard to guess, it's just a matter of guessing people's hearts. Most people in the world flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. When they are at their lowest point, they hope you will either pull them up or sink with them. When they climb to the top, they hope to get rid of all the burdens. In the past, I was the rope that held the Lu family together. Now that Lu Xiuzhu has a high branch to choose from, I have become the burden that the Lu family wants to get rid of."
Moreover, she had overheard Huang Baoying asking Princess Anle about the marriage between Lu Xiuzhu and her by chance. Moreover, the invitation was only delivered to the mansion yesterday, which was obviously a Hongmen Banquet with ill intentions.
Pei Yi was shocked when he heard this, not because of what the Lu family did, but because of Miss Xie's ability to read people's minds and the calmness and composure in her words.
He had found it hard to believe that she really possessed the medical skills to bring the dead back to life, but seeing how she calmly analyzed the Lu family's attitude, she did not seem like a teenage girl at all. He felt that this girl was probably a rare and precocious person, and he could not look at her with the same mentality as an ordinary person.
He felt that his stay here was worthwhile, as he had a very pleasant conversation and felt that he had met him too late.
Xie Zhichan was thinking that Princess Yongtai might be involved in today's events.
Thinking that Pei Yi was the prince of the Prince of Yan's mansion after all, and a very powerful person in the capital, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are all people at the top of power so unscrupulous?"
In order to snatch what she likes, she insults and destroys other people's lives at will. If she were the real Xie Zhichan, who is powerless, she would probably die today to show her determination.
Pei Yi knew that the “people at the top of power” she mentioned also included him, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s not that people at the top of power are so unscrupulous, but that unscrupulous people are at the top of power.”
After hearing this, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but look up to Pei Yi. The thoughts of these ancients were somewhat stubborn in their loyalty to the emperor, and Pei Yi's words could be considered as treasonous.
It was worth her thinking about curing his paralysis. Thinking that Pei Yi's stem cells in the space would soon be cultivated, how should she talk to him so that Pei Yi would trust her and let her cure him?
In order to prevent people of this era from regarding her as a monster, she would have to make Pei Yi unconscious during the operation. However, this man was so meticulous that it would be difficult to proceed without his consent.
She also had to make him promise to keep it a secret for her. Otherwise, even if Pei Yi didn't know the specific treatment method, people of this era would probably still think that she had abilities that ordinary people didn't have, and then countless powerful people with ulterior motives might come after her.
Alas, it’s quite difficult to ask the Virgin Mary to do a good deed for once.
