She immediately turned to the Eldest Princess. "Your Highness, you must see the truth! I have never done such a thing!"
Never in her wildest dreams did Xiao Lansi expect Zhou Kangxue to just come out and say it!
The Eldest Princess's expression was grave, and she said nothing.
Xiao Lansi furrowed her brow and turned back to stare at Zhou Kangxue in disbelief.
"Doctor Zhou, I barely know you. We have no quarrel. Why would you slander me like this!?"
Zhou Kangxue's eyes widened. "How is this slander? You said all this yourself, Third Princess! You said Prince Lie was afflicted with a poison from Guanling, that only Guanling had the antidote, and that besides you, no one could save him. How can you deny everything now!? If you hadn't assured me again and again that you could cure Prince Lie, why would I have ever agreed to do all this?"
Xiao Lansi's mind went blank. Her breath hitched.
"When did I ever say such things to you!?"
