"Then…"
"I was walking away and suddenly slipped." Feng Zhiwei lied, her deceptions always more truthful than the truth. "Out of nowhere, I stumbled and the knife cut my hand. I'm not and idiot, I already drugged the Prince, why would I help him?
"But no one knows that you drugged him…" Shao Ning said quietly.
"That's true, no one can be certain that I drugged him." Feng Zhiwei shook her head disappointedly, turning to leave. "If only the Princess had trusted me, but you had to have two plans in motion. Now, you will never be able to know whether I am loyal and honest."
"I trust you!" Shao Ning cried out, grasping Feng Zhiwei's sleeve. "Wei Zhi, don't be mad, this matter was my fault. Ning Yi is wily and must have spies planted around me. He already knew everything and was completely prepared; he had that assassin confuse everyone by wounding every guard's shoulder so that he could clear Ning Cheng's name. He obviously knew about the plan already. Wei Zhi, you must help me!"
