Don't remember everything
Xi Zirui wakes up with a start in the white limbo space.
His fury is nearly blinding.
Ni Ni rushes to defend herself. "It wasn't Ni Ni, Host. Ni Ni didn't do anything!"
It's a paltry reassurance, whoever's fault it is, Xi Zirui still ended up dead.
"Show me, show me everything that happened."

In the end, Xi Zirui should have known he was asking too much of Bai Mi.
She couldn't afford to keep Su Xueyi alive, and it only took him a few hours after Xi Zirui's 'death' to start making threats.
Obviously the pressure increased around him, after Liao Min's convenient escape and Xi Zirui's and Han Yu apparent deaths. The gruesome implications of how Liao Min had disposed of the bodies was too much for the regular person to consider -- the guards might have taken some of their horror out on Su Xueyi's face.
That's when he demanded to see the youngest princess so that he could share some sensitive information.
