The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

"Lu Fengyi, in your opinion, how should this be done?"

Concubine Xiao came to her senses and planned to throw the matter to Lu Fengyi to deal with.

She wanted to know what Lu Fengyi would do when he already knew that Yan'er was lying.

"???"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot.

She blinked, looked at Concubine Xiao blankly, and politely refused: "The Concubine will make the decision for Zhang Liangyuan, so there is no need for me to embarrass myself here."

[Your Highness is not here, the concubine is the one who can manage the affairs of the palace. I am just a small servant, so I shouldn't join in the fun. ]

[What's more, what Yan'er said might not be entirely true. Even if I knew she was lying, I couldn't just say it out loud. It would be better to let Concubine Xiao investigate it herself.]

Concubine Xiao's eyes flashed.

As the only concubine in the Prince's Mansion, the power she holds is indeed much greater than that of Lu Fengyi.

If she, as a concubine, were to come forward and thoroughly investigate the matter, it would be easier for the servants in the mansion to surrender.

However, at this moment she just wanted to see how Lu Fengyi would handle things.

Given how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about Lu Fengyi, it is possible that many things in the future will have to go through Lu Fengyi's hands.

It would be better for her to try Lu Fengyi's ability first.

"Lu Fengyi, this concubine believes you."

Concubine Xiao spoke in a calm tone, but there was a hint of trust in her words.

Yan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Lu Fengyi casually.

From the very beginning, Yan'er did not take Lu Fengyi in front of her seriously.

After all, in the current Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, and the only one who can be in charge is Concubine Xiao. Yan'er had already inquired about it, and Concubine Xiao never liked to be in charge of things. She believed everything she said just now, and she would definitely not think about really investigating the truth of the matter.

If Concubine Xiao insisted on handing the matter over to Lu Fengyi...

Yan'er had an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart.

She pursed her lips, raised her head, and cried to Lu Fengyi, showing a weak and helpless look, "Please ask Lu Fengyi to make the decision for my master."

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Xiao helplessly, paused, then turned to look at Yan'er. She took a deep breath with a complicated expression on her face, "Since Concubine Xiao is willing to trust me, then I will dare to handle this matter."

[Originally I didn't want to get involved, why did Concubine Xiao insist on pushing this matter to me? ]

"it is good."

Concubine Xiao nodded and moved a few steps to the side, fearing that she would block Lu Fengyi's sight.

Lu Fengyi noticed Concubine Xiao's little action: "..."

Then he looked at Yan'er who was staring at him with hope on her face.

[Is she really not afraid that her lies will be discovered? ]

[I don't know what Yan'er wants to do by coming to the Prince's Mansion. ]

【I wonder if Prince Su knows about this? 】

It's a bit of a headache.

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed softly and told Chen Wu who had been guarding beside her, "Go and ask a palace doctor to come over. Also, ask Bai Zhi to go out and see if His Highness has returned home. If he has, ask His Highness to come over."

The morning mist responded.

When she heard the latter words, she looked at her master in surprise: "If Bai Zhi follows me out, then there will be no one to serve the master."

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No need, go ahead."

Chen Wu nodded: "Yes, Master."

She could only carry out her master's orders.

The morning mist turned and left.

After leaving the inner room, she called Baizhi to leave together.

Concubine Xiao didn't quite understand what Lu Fengyi wanted to do, but she didn't express her true feelings at this moment.

However, since she has already handed the matter over to Lu Fengyi, she will not interfere in it anymore and will only support Lu Fengyi.

After Chen Wu's back was no longer visible, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped forward, stared at Yan'er curiously for a moment, and then said, "Are you really Yan'er?"

Yan'er's expression froze: "..."

Why did Lu Fengyi suddenly ask about this?

Yan'er quickly reacted and choked up, "Yes, I wonder what Lu Fengyi wants me to do? Will Lu Fengyi make the decision for my master?"

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Actually, there's nothing I can ask you to do. I just want to know if Cai'er really went to the kitchen?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows.

Yaner:?

Before Yan'er could understand what Lu Fengyi said, she was caught off guard by Lu Fengyi's next words:

"Why did my maid see Cai'er sneaking out through the side door of the mansion?"

Yan'er's pupils shrank slightly, and she was about to retort that this was impossible.

Lu Xiaoxiao spoke again: "Hey, don't rush to refute, this is what my maid saw with her own eyes, it's impossible that she was careless and saw the wrong person, right?"

Yan'er opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.

She stared at Lu Fengyi blankly, trying to make a final struggle: "What if it was really your maid who saw it wrong?"

Lu Xiaoxiao made up a story as soon as she opened her mouth, and said sincerely: "Well, but my two maids saw it."

Concubine Xiao paused and gave Lu Fengyi an admiring look.

"..."

Seeing that Lu Fengyi spoke so seriously, Yan'er was skeptical.

She frowned, somewhat unable to believe it.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Tell me, why did Cai'er leave the house? Also, what is the cause of Zhang Liangyuan's illness?"

Yan'er thought quickly and hurriedly distanced herself from the matter. "In reply to Lu Fengyi, I don't know what Cai'er wanted to do. It was Cai'er who told me that she was going to the kitchen..."

Lu Xiaoxiao interrupted her and said, "What you said just now about the kitchen making things difficult for you was all false, right?"

Yan'er: "I don't know, it was Cai'er who said it."

Lu Xiaoxiao snorted: "You are quite skilled at shirking responsibility."

[I wonder if Cai'er would feel sad after hearing these words.]

[After all, it was the person she cared about the most who stabbed her in the back! ]

"What's the shirking of responsibility?"

Before he finished speaking, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heard from outside the door.

"Your Highness is here!"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to walk out, she suddenly remembered that Concubine Xiao was still standing beside her.

[Concubine Xiao had such a low sense of presence that I almost forgot about her existence and ran towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ]

Concubine Xiao: “…” Okay, so you’re blaming her for being in the way by standing here?

After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's inner voice outside the door and knowing that Xiao Shuyi was there too, Xie Xi paused slightly and strode into the room.

As soon as he walked around the screen, Xie Xi saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Shuyi standing beside Zhang Liangyuan's bed.

There was also a maid kneeling on the ground beside her.

Bai Zhi had been following behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now that she saw her master, she returned to her master's side.

"I have met His Highness."

"I have met His Highness."

Concubine Xiao was the first to pay her respects to the Crown Prince, and Lu Xiaoxiao followed.

Xie Xi glanced at Xiao Shuyi, paused slightly, and then his gentle gaze fell on Lu Xiaoxiao's face. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, he felt relieved.

After returning from the palace, Xie Xi originally wanted to find Lu Xiaoxiao, but before he reached Jingxiang Courtyard, he saw Bai Zhi, the maidservant beside Lu Xiaoxiao.

Noticing the Crown Prince's gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao secretly blinked at him with an innocent look on her face.

Seeing this, Xie Xi smiled faintly, but soon he stopped smiling. He clenched his fist and coughed softly, "What are you doing?"

Concubine Xiao pretended that she didn't see the eye contact between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Fengyi. She sighed softly, and her brows were instantly stained with sorrow: "Your Highness just entered the mansion today. I shouldn't have bothered Your Highness with these trivial matters."

[Hmm? Zhang Liangyuan is about to die, what's the point of this? If Your Highness doesn't care about Zhang Liangyuan anymore, then I will really have to eat Zhang Liangyuan's feast tomorrow.]

Zhang Liangyuan hasn't even died yet, but Lu Fengyi is already thinking about the banquet?

Concubine Xiao almost choked on her own saliva.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Xi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Liangyuan lying on the couch inconspicuously, and he agreed with Lu Xiaoxiao's idea in his heart.

Zhang Liangyuan: Are you polite?

Concubine Xiao: "To reply to your Highness, Zhang Liangyuan suddenly fell seriously ill. Both the court doctor and the imperial physician came to see her, but Zhang Liangyuan has been bedridden. Lu Fengyi suspects that Zhang Liangyuan's maid must have harbored evil intentions and did not take good care of Zhang Liangyuan, which led to Zhang Liangyuan's condition getting worse and worse."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why did Concubine Xiao have to drag me into this? ]

[Although this Yan'er does have some issues, as to whether she has any bad intentions——]

[Well, I can’t guarantee that. After all, Yan’er, who was kneeling on the ground, was flexible. As the adopted daughter of Prince Su, she actually lowered herself to be a maidservant to Zhang Liangyuan…]

The emperor’s uncle’s adopted daughter?

A hint of surprise flashed across Xie Xi's eyes. When did the emperor's uncle have an adopted daughter?

Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle would also think of arranging spies to enter the prince's mansion.

"Since it is Lu Fengyi's suspicion, then——"

Xie Xi paused and called out, "Xie San, come in and lock this man up first and interrogate him carefully."

Before he finished speaking, Xie San walked in.

Before Yan'er could even react, Xie San had already grasped her arms neatly, leaving her no chance to struggle.

Yaner: ???

Concubine Xiao: "..."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[Did Your Highness act too decisively today? Concubine Xiao only expressed her suspicion, but Your Highness arrested Yan'er first? ]

[If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have known that His Highness would trust Concubine Xiao so much.]

Concubine Xiao: What do you mean by trusting me? It's obvious that His Highness trusts you the most!!!

Xie Xi felt somewhat helpless.

"Your Highness, I serve my master wholeheartedly, how could I possibly harm her?"

"Your Highness, I am innocent!"

"Lu Fengyi! It must be Lu Fengyi who murdered my master! It was her! She deliberately framed me like this!"

When being escorted out by Xie San, Yan'er was like a madman, constantly shouting that she was innocent and accusing Lu Fengyi with a look of grief and indignation.

Fearing that His Highness would get angry after hearing this, Xie San quickly quickened his pace and dragged Yan'er away with all his strength.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was suddenly blamed, was a little confused.

[If I remember correctly, I just returned home last night and was busy sleeping in my room. How could I have murdered Zhang Liangyuan? ]

[Besides, I was planning to stay in my room and sleep till the sun goes down today. If Concubine Xiao hadn't asked me to come visit Zhang Liangyuan, I wouldn't bother with this matter! ]

[Your Highness, there is no way you would believe Yan'er's words, right? ]

[After all, Your Highness is the most intelligent person in the world, how could he possibly believe someone else's lies? ]

The wisest prince in the world expressed his satisfaction with someone's voice.

Concubine Xiao held her forehead helplessly and glanced at His Highness calmly. She could vaguely see the slightly raised corners of His Highness' lips.

Your Highness seems very happy?

It seems that His Highness and Lu Fengyi got along very well during their trip.

"Your Highness, it was not done by me."

Fearing that His Highness would think too much, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but defend herself: "That maid is talking nonsense, Your Highness, don't believe it. Hmm... If Your Highness interrogates her, maybe you can get some information."

[I wonder what Prince Su wants to do. Your Highness should also be on guard, right? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao had just looked through the system, but apart from the news that Yan'er was Prince Su's adopted daughter, nothing else was displayed on the system screen.

She was afraid that this time she would not be able to dig out information from the system about what Yan'er was trying to do, so she could only rely on His Highness to interrogate her.

"Okay, I got it."

Xie Xi nodded.

Then, Xie Xi lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Liangyuan lying on the ground. He frowned slightly and asked Xiao Shuyi, "What disease did Zhang Liangyuan have?"

Concubine Xiao: "Earlier, both the palace doctor and the imperial physician said that Zhang Liangyuan just had a cold, but later..."

"For some reason, Zhang Liangyuan became increasingly ill and her condition did not improve. The court physician and the imperial physician were helpless and could only prescribe some herbal medicine for Zhang Liangyuan to take."

Xie Xi: "I will send a message to ask the master of the Divine Doctor Valley to come as soon as possible."

"it is good."

If the master of the Divine Doctor Valley could come in person to diagnose Zhang Liangyuan's pulse and treat her illness, then Zhang Liangyuan would definitely be fine.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think Cai'er, another maidservant beside Zhang Liangyuan, is also suspicious. However, she sneaked out of the house early today. I don't know where she went."

"As long as she is still in Shengjing City, she can't escape."

After saying that, Xie Xi called out again: "Xie Si, come in."

Xie Si came in quickly: "What do you want, Master?"

Xie Xi: "Do you remember the maid named Cai'er who served Zhang Liangyuan?"

"My subordinates remember."

In fact, there were not many maids in the Prince's Mansion, but Xie Si could still remember the maids around the three masters: Concubine Xiao, Zhang Liangyuan, and Lu Fengyi.

Xie Xi hummed calmly, "Go find her and put her in the dark cell first."

There is a secret cell in the Prince’s Mansion, but it is underground.

Apart from Xie Xi, only the secret guards knew about it.

Xie Si: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Concubine Xiao: "Your Highness has locked up Zhang Liangyuan's two maids, so I will arrange two more maids for Zhang Liangyuan?"

Xie Xi: "Just do as you say."

Concubine Xiao nodded: "Okay."

[Now that we have finished talking about this, there should be nothing for me to do now, right? Can I go back to Jingxiangyuan and continue sleeping? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, and just as she was about to speak, she was caught off guard by the gentle gaze of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She was startled, and the next moment, she heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words:

"Lu Fengyi, you will follow me into the palace tomorrow."

"???"

"The Queen Mother wants to see you."
