Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Before Zi Hua could finish speaking, she burst into tears, and Xuan Hua was also crying uncontrollably. They were both afraid that if their young lady took the medicine, she would be harmed and killed by the poison emanating from Bai Shuang. The two of them simply could not bear to watch their young lady's life slowly slip away before their eyes.

"If Miss doesn't take her medicine, she might die from poisoning." Xuan Hua finally brought up Zi Hua's idea, no longer hesitating to speak.

Seeing how loyal the two maids were, Feng Xingye glanced at Xiao Fengyi, who was still lying unconscious in the sedan chair.

This woman is a good leader, and she treats her servants sincerely in normal times. That's why she made the servants so sad after the incident.

The faint sunlight from the horizon shone into the man's clothes, casting a half-light and half-shadow on his face, making his features appear even more rugged and imposing, like a towering mountain.

A cold, stern voice rang out as he addressed Zi Hua and Xuan Hua: "You don't need to worry. Hasn't she already taken the antidote for Bai Shuang's poison? She's fine for now. The fainting was simply because she needs a long rest to allow the toxins from Bai Shuang's poison to dissipate."

Upon hearing Feng Xingye's words, the two maids immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their tense bodies collapsing to the ground.

Zi Hua, lying on the cold ground, laughed and said, "Xuan Hua, did you hear that? Miss is alright."

The person whose name was called was both puzzled and unusually excited.

"I heard you. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Zhao arrived in time. Otherwise, if we had given the antidote to the young lady, I don't know what terrible consequences would have occurred."

"Actually, taking too much of the antidote won't harm her body. It's just that I'm afraid that when the Emperor calls the imperial physician to examine her pulse, something will be discovered, and the Seventh Prince will have something to say about it," Feng Xingye explained calmly.

His Highness Prince Zhao's obstruction of the young lady's medication had ulterior motives. Xuan Hua and Zi Hua couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

They almost made a terrible mistake.

If the imperial physician discovers that the young lady is feigning illness to slander the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Imperial Concubine will certainly not let it go and will complain to the Emperor. The Emperor might even accuse the young lady of deceiving the Emperor and slandering the royal family, which would be a great loss.

Upon hearing this, Xuanhua and Zihua immediately sat up, put their hands together, and repeatedly bowed to the surroundings while chanting prayers.

With her eyes closed, Xuan Hua murmured, "Thank God!"

Zi Hua muttered devoutly, "His Highness Prince Zhao is a god descended to earth, preventing us from making a grave mistake."

When Yue Qi saw the two maids' terrified expressions, she almost burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and said to her master, "Master, I didn't expect Miss Xiao's maids to be so humorous. They actually said you were a god descended from heaven."

The man didn't laugh out loud, but instead glared at Yue Qi with narrowed eyes.

Everything was implied in a thousand words. After seeing that look, Yue Qi dared not laugh anymore and covered her mouth.

After the prayers were finished, Xuanhua and Zihua finally calmed down from their excitement that their young lady was alright, and they finally realized something they hadn't been able to figure out earlier.

Did Feng Xingye know that Xiao Fengyi had taken the antidote revealed by Bai Shuang?

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hua became even more certain that the man on the roof beam was the one who had told him to come to Qingya Courtyard to see Xiao Fengyi.

That man must be the prostitute's man.

Xuan Hua had seen the mysterious man on the roof beam, but Zi Hua had not, so she directly asked Feng Xingye himself.

"Your Highness, how did you learn that our young lady had taken the antidote?"

After hearing the question, the man did not answer, but squatted down and looked at Xiao Fengyi.

It was Yueqi who answered her question.

“Our master has always been worried that Miss Xiao will be framed, so he has been sending people to protect her safety.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hua recalled the mysterious man on the roof beam, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Could it be that... the man on the roof beam is not the young lady's man, but King Zhao's man?

Many mysteries remain unclear to Xuan Hua; the only way to unravel them is to look to King Zhao and Yue Qi.

The two didn't explain, but Zi Hua asked from the side, "Your Highness Prince Zhao, have you been sending people to monitor our young lady?"

She blurted it out without paying any attention to her wording.

Yue Qi retorted with a smile, "This is protection, how can you call it surveillance?"

After hearing this, Xuan Hua understood what was going on.

She now felt that the man on the roof beam belonged to His Highness Prince Zhao, not to Miss Zhao.

Oh dear, she thought her mistress was incredibly powerful and had been given a skilled underling.

Xuan Hua sighed deeply, and Zi Hua also sighed in agreement with Yue Qi's statement, "His Highness Prince Zhao was indeed protecting our young lady. If he hadn't sent someone to monitor her, you wouldn't have known that she had taken poison."

Yue Qi didn't say anything, but glanced at his master.

Before leaving, Feng Xingye instructed, "Don't reveal anything about the spy camp."

"Can't we even talk about the people around Miss Xiao?" Yue Qi asked, puzzled.

"No, we don't know the background of the people around her. If they are spies, their identities will be exposed if we tell others. If Xiao Fengyi wants to tell them, she will personally tell them. We don't need to meddle."

The man considered every step he took carefully.

Yue Qi instantly understood his master's intention. Judging from the expressions of the two maids, Xuan Hua and Zi Hua, Xiao Fengyi had indeed not revealed the matter of the spy camp, so he could not reveal it either.

Xuan Hua felt somewhat relieved to see Feng Xingye staring at her young lady, but she also felt that it wasn't a long-term solution for him and his companions to stand in the garden of Qingya Courtyard.

She coughed a few times and asked, "Your Highness, what should we write down for? Is it to wait for the Emperor to arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xingye finally looked away from the woman.

"Yes, we are waiting for my brother to come, but... I don't know if he will come."

After hearing his words, Xuanhua and Zihua had a bad feeling.

It turns out that Prince Zhao didn't know whether the Emperor had returned to the Duke of Xiao's mansion. So why was the Seventh Prince so resolute and forced the young lady to falsely accuse Prince Zhao?

Xuan Hua raised another concern, "Your Highness, it's already getting light. I'm afraid the servants on duty will see you when they pass by Qingya Courtyard. To avoid causing you trouble, please, you and Guard Yue Qi, go to the side room and hide for a while. What do you say?"

Feng Xingye glanced at the open gate of Qingya Courtyard and nodded, saying, "You're right, it is indeed too ostentatious for me to be here."

"Then this servant will prepare a guest room for you?" Xuan Hua said calmly.

Feng Xingye raised his hand and said to her, "No need, just go to her private room."

Upon hearing this, Zi Hua realized her mistake and asked, "Does Your Highness wish to go to our young lady's boudoir? Is that permissible?"

Although the man in front of her had gone through the six rites of marriage with the young lady, they were not yet married. Was it appropriate for him to come and go from the room so casually?
