Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

After Feng Xingye's reminder, Xiao Qishan suddenly realized, "Your Highness Prince Zhao, your words are truly enlightening!"

"As long as you know."

The man's voice was deep and resonant, like the striking of rocks, possessing an undeniable air of composure. Even as he spoke, his round, obsidian-like eyes remained fixed on the unconscious Xiao Fengyi.

She should wake up soon after taking the Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill, so why isn't she awake yet?

Feng Xingye was worried about the woman's injuries simply because he admired her unparalleled acupuncture skills and wanted her to treat him with the Southern Frontier Gu King's Soul-Losing Powder.

After glancing at the unresponsive woman a few more times without making a sound, he said coldly, "Duke Xiao, find the royal physician to examine Miss Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qishan sent someone to fetch the imperial physician and ordered everyone to disperse.

Feng Mingyu was shocked to accidentally witness the Ninth Prince stroking a woman's cheek.

When did Fengyi and Ninth Prince become so familiar with each other? Just as they were trying to figure out their ambiguous relationship, the royal physician arrived.

After the physician opened Xiao Fengyi's eyelids, he said to the crowd, "Please disperse."

Feng Xingye stood up and happened to overhear Shen Shi and Xiao Qishan whispering to each other, seemingly preparing to plot a scheme.

Madam Shen asked mysteriously, "Master, may I speak to you in private?"

Xiao Qishan nodded and followed Shen to a less crowded area.

All of this could not escape Feng Xingye's notice.

Instigated by Shen, Xiao Qishan set up a private court to punish Xiao Fengyi, almost overturning the case that the Emperor had already decided. If it weren't for the arrival of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, a major mistake would have been made.

He spoke sharply to Madam Shen, "Haven't you harmed me enough? Why did you drag me here?"

Shen's only goal is to kill Xiao Fengyi. The reason she is so impatient now and has taken action before Feng Xingye has left is that she is afraid that Xiao Qishan will forget about this incident and let Xiao Fengyi go because of their father-daughter relationship.

But if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get another one. Besides, this woman is currently unconscious after being drugged!

Ignoring Xiao Qishan's fury, she only cared about sowing discord, "Master, are you really going to let Fengyi off the hook like this? Let Qingyin suffer?"

As soon as Shen finished speaking, Xiao Qingyin, who had been standing to the side, shed a few tears in response.

“Father… as long as the Xiao family is at peace and we are blessed with the Emperor’s favor, it doesn’t matter if the Emperor misunderstands me.”

Xiao Qingyin's Achilles' heel was Xiao Qishan. The thought of her beloved daughter being misunderstood by the Emperor as having ulterior motives made her heart tighten and shrink involuntarily.

He said helplessly but with heartache, "Qingyin, you've been wronged."

These words reached Feng Xingye's ears.

Hmph, people's hearts are always biased.

Xiao Qishan regretted hitting Xiao Fengyi because he almost disobeyed the emperor's will and endangered the entire Xiao family. As for his eldest daughter, he felt no remorse whatsoever.

Shen noticed the remorse in Xiao Qishan's eyes, and her usually droopy lips finally blossomed into a radiant smile.

“Since you feel indebted to Qingyin, then you should teach the instigator a lesson.”

Xiao Qishan knew who the instigator was in Shen's words, and whispered, "Prince Zhao and the Eighth Prince are still here, and Fengyi hasn't woken up yet. How can we teach them a lesson?"

After saying that, he was wary of the two men not far away, and didn't even dare to steal a glance at them.

But Shen knew he was easily swayed and would believe anything others said, so she offered him advice directly.

"Isn't the imperial physician treating her? Maybe she'll wake up soon. Besides, Fengyi is in good health; who knows if she's faking it?"

Pretending to be dizzy?

Upon hearing this possibility, Xiao Qishan glanced back at his eldest daughter, who was still unconscious, his eyes filled with hatred.

"You brat, how dare you pretend to faint in front of me? You've gone too far!"

Hearing the curses, Shen and Xiao Qingyin exchanged a smile.

"After King Zhao leaves, we'll... teach Fengyi a lesson!"

At this moment, Shen pressed her advantage, adding fuel to the fire by revealing how Feng Xingye had planned to punish Xiao Fengyi after leaving the Xiao residence, thus exposing her true intentions.

The most terrifying thing is that Xiao Qishan actually followed her arrangements.

"We'll do as you say!"

Shen spoke very softly towards the end of her plan, and even though Feng Xingye didn't hear it clearly, he could still guess a thing or two from her actions and expressions.

He looked up at the plaque with the four characters "Upright and Honorable" hanging in the Xiao family's main hall and felt a sense of irony.

The intriguing atmosphere of the Xiao family clearly indicated that they were waiting until he and Feng Mingyu left before dealing with Xiao Fengyi.

That woman's life is probably in danger tonight...

Listening to Xiao Qishan and Shen's scheme, and then looking at the pale-faced woman, the man snorted coldly.

He couldn't help but feel pity for Xiao Fengyi.

After a short while, Xiao Fengyi still hadn't woken up, and the physician finally got up.

The physician's expression was grave. "Before I arrived, did you give the young lady any medicine?"

Feng Xingye wondered if he had misjudged the situation and given the woman the wrong medicine.

He asked the physician directly, "I gave her the Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill, is there a problem?"

Hearing the doctor's grave tone, Xiao Qingyin assumed that Feng Xingye had given Xiao Fengyi the wrong medicine, and was overjoyed, thinking that His Highness Prince Zhao had inadvertently eliminated a major threat.

Xiao Qishan hurriedly asked, "Could it be... that Fengyi can't hold on?"

Who's saying she won't make it through?

Xiao Fengyi lay on the bench, her eyes still closed, when she heard Xiao Qishan cursing her.

The physician's voice drifted over her head, followed by a laugh.

"You're all wrong. His Highness Prince Zhao's Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill was very effective in saving the young lady's life."

Upon hearing that Xiao Fengyi was alright, everyone's expressions were truly varied and dazzling.

Xiao Qishan's expression was subtle, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or regretful.

When Shen and Xiao Qingyin heard that the woman was alright, they made no attempt to hide their disappointment.

When Feng Xingye realized that his Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill was saving people rather than harming them, his eyes narrowed.

"Doctor, do you mean that Fengyi is alright?" Feng Mingyu asked with concern.

The royal physician stroked his beard and said, "Reporting to the Eighth Prince, Miss Xiao's life is temporarily out of danger."

Feng Xingye glanced at Xiao Fengyi's loosened fingers, guessing that she had woken up and had been eavesdropping on their conversation, and suddenly laughed.

Feng Mingyu anxiously asked the royal physician, "I wonder when she will be able to open her eyes."

The physician paused for a moment, then replied, "He might wake up soon, perhaps early tomorrow morning."

If Xiao Fengyi is alright, those who care about her will feel somewhat at ease, while those who are jealous of her will be very anxious.

But she couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the people in front of her. Her consciousness was hazy, and she could only barely hear the physician describing the patients' conditions.

Thank goodness I'm alive... Being reborn really makes a difference...

"The young lady suffered family punishment for two consecutive days and fell into the lake, catching a cold. If she hadn't taken His Highness Prince Zhao's medicine, she would have already passed away."

The physician looked at Feng Xingye with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
