Pei Yi put the man on the bed without saying a word, lifted up Xie Zhichan's trouser legs and saw that both of his white knees were torn and bloody.

His face suddenly turned as dark as ink, and he glared at Xie Zhichan and said, "You are so smart, why do you kneel when someone asks you to? Can't you find an excuse to avoid it?"

When Xie Zhichan saw Pei Yi's expression, he thought to himself, how badly he must have been injured when he received special agent training. He is nothing now, but he is still very moved.

She felt a little guilty. "The Queen Mother is so angry at me that she has a headache. If I don't kneel, they will have something to hold against me. It will be difficult to get out of this unscathed. Maybe I will have to give away the formula of the scar cream for free. I will be even more unwilling to accept that."

Pei Yi didn't listen to her explanation at all, and said angrily: "Why don't you move me out?"

Xie Zhichan held his face and coaxed him, "But I don't want to cause you unnecessary trouble."

Pei Yi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just took the medicinal wine to clean her wound. Because he was angry, he was a little heavy-handed. When he heard Xie Zhichan's slight hiss, he immediately relaxed his hands and feet and concentrated on cleaning gently.

"Does it hurt when you kneel?"

Xie Zhichan chuckled and said, "It doesn't hurt. When I felt the pain, I gave myself an anesthetic, so I didn't feel any pain at all."

Pei Yi's breathing stagnated. This guy dared to be so cruel to him!

He looked up at her, his sharp eyes full of intimidation: "You are really capable!"

Xie Zhichan knew that Pei Yi was angry because he felt sorry for her, so she didn't bother with him.

He immediately changed the subject and said, "I find it strange that the Queen Mother suddenly knew that this matter was related to me."

Thinking about the relationship between Pei Yi and Qin Baiwei, she didn't want Pei Yi to be on guard against her at all. She held his head, looked into his eyes and said, "I want to talk about someone. Don't be suspicious or angry."

Her sincere expression made Pei Yi serious. He held her face with his clean wrist and said, "Ayuan, you are my wife who sleeps with me in the same bed. Just say whatever you want to say. I believe you."

Xie Zhichan always felt as if she was being teased. Her ears felt a little hot and she touched her earlobes.

"When I entered the palace, Miss Qin was also with the Queen Mother. Not long after she entered the palace today, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace. Now she is living in the Prince of Yan's mansion. I think she must have discovered something and told the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother think of me."

Seeing Pei Yi frowning slightly, she thought he said he believed her but didn't, so she immediately added, "I'm not talking nonsense, but I want to remind you, Prince Pei, that you men should not trust women too much, especially those who look pretty and harmless. Maybe one day they will dig a hole and bury you, and you will help them fill it with soil."

Pei Yi heard the sourness in Xie Zhichan's tone, but he was secretly happy that A Yuan was now jealous of him.

He smiled at her and said, "If I said I believe you, I naturally believe you. Why are you rushing to provoke me with words? I just thought that if it is really her, the longer she stays in the mansion, the more danger you will have. I will let Dan Feng investigate her carefully, and for your safety, I will also send someone to watch her."

Xie Zhichan suddenly felt guilty. Perhaps it was the influence of her experiences in her previous life that made her want to test a person the more important he or she thought he or she was.

"I'm kindly reminding you not to underestimate women."

Pei Nandu smiled and said, "Don't worry, in my eyes, Ayuan is the most beautiful woman and the most powerful woman. I will never look down on you."

Xie Zhichan felt that ever since she and Pei Yi had revealed the window paper between them, Pei Yi seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and he threw all kinds of sugar-coated bullets at her, making her feel dizzy sometimes, as if she was living in a honey pot.

She said angrily, "It's good that you know. So, you'd better not provoke me, otherwise if I become poisonous, you won't be able to withstand it."

Pei Yi responded with "OK" and said with a smile, "Great Miss Ayuan, let me apply the medicine to your knee first."

Xie Zhichan cooperated with Pei Yi's performance and said, "Please."

Pei Yi cleaned her wound again, asked her for medicine, applied it on her wound, and put on gauze.

After packing up the medicine bottles and gauze, he said to Xie Zhichan, "You should stay in Tingxueju for the next few days to rest. You are not allowed to go anywhere. The shopkeeper and the three brothers He Yi are guarding the shop, so you can rest assured."

He stood at the edge of the bed and spoke to her condescendingly, with a domineering tone that brooked no refusal.

Xie Zhichan thought, is she under house arrest?

But she had no complaints about Pei Yi "restricting her freedom". Instead, she said "oh" inexplicably and agreed to Pei Yi's "house arrest" order.

She felt that she was probably a little too obsessed with love.

Pei Yi saw how obedient she was. When she looked up at him, her deer eyes like black grapes stared at him, which made him want to pounce on her.

He thought that if he really pounced like this, what would greet him would probably be Ayuan's sharp blade.

After leaving the master bedroom, he called Dan Feng who was standing under the eaves and said, "Come with me to the study."

Dan Feng saw that the prince had a gloomy face and thought that he had been humiliated by the princess again. He sighed in his heart and wondered when he would be able to hold the little prince in his arms. The prince really had a long way to go.

While he was lost in thought, he followed Pei Yi into the study, and heard his master instruct him, "Go check and see if Qin Baiwei has had any contact with anyone recently."

When Dan Feng heard that they were going to investigate Qin Baiwei, he asked in confusion, "But what happened? Do you think it's related to Miss Qin?"

Pei Yi turned the white jade ring on his hand and said, "The Queen Mother suspected that the Crown Prince's confinement was related to the Crown Prince's Consort, so she summoned her into the palace. I suspect that Qin Baiwei discovered something in Prince Yan's Mansion and revealed the news to the Queen Mother."

Dan Feng was startled, then he thought of the day when Qin Baiwei asked him about Yang Zhuoyan. He had a bad feeling in his heart, and immediately knelt down and said to Pei Yi, "Forgive me, sir. I'm afraid I'm at fault. That day, Miss Qin came to check my pulse and asked about the Crown Prince's Consort's scar removal cream. Then, I went into the house with the Crown Prince's Consort. She asked me about Young Master Yang, and I thought she was asking casually because she thought he looked unfamiliar, so I said that he was a failed candidate."

Pei Yi knew that Qin Baiwei was actually very smart, otherwise she would not have been so gifted in medicine. She must have investigated Yang Zhuoyan in private and connected everything.

He was almost certain that Qin Baiwei was framing Ayuan. He felt annoyed and said to Danfeng, "Even so, you should still verify it yourself. If it is really you who leaked it, go and get ten strokes of the cane. From now on, keep your mouth shut."

"Yes, Master." Dan Feng was still in shock, fortunately nothing happened to the Crown Prince's Consort.
