Song Lianhe took a deep breath, composed herself, and tried her best to appear calm and calculating.
"Prince Qing, this has nothing to do with Xuan Mei. I forced her to do it!"
'Prince Qing?'
Heh.
Zhou Cangyan tilted his head, looking her up and down. "Come now, tell me. How exactly did you force her?"
Xuan Mei frowned and was about to speak, but he cut her off coldly, "You, shut up."
Xuan Mei bit her lip and lowered her head.
"I…" Song Lianhe said immediately, "I'm a physician. I know how to use poison!"
"Oh? So, you poisoned her, and you just so happen to be the only one with the antidote."
"…Yes!"
She nodded vigorously.
'Based on how the plot is developing, that's the only logical explanation.'
"The antidote, then?"
He held out his hand, beckoning with his fingers.
"The antidote…"
She felt for her satchel, planning to pull out a few random herbs to fool him.
