Chapter 88 Someone Poisoned ()

Feeling the burning sensation on her index finger, Chu Yaoyao made a small face.

The chopsticks in Li Wanzhi's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Her face turned ugly.

poisonous?

Who is it!

Chun Shi hurriedly set aside some food and threw it into the corner.

Seeing that all the ants that had eaten the meal had stopped moving, she knelt down on the ground in a panic.

"This slave is at fault, please punish me!"

There was a feeling of regret and fear in her heart. It was all her fault. If the empress and the little princess were poisoned, she would be dead!

"You should get up first. Did you meet anyone on the way back and forth?"

Chun Shi recalled it carefully, then shook her head, "No."

Suddenly, as she thought of something, her expression changed drastically.

"My servant seemed to have seen the jade bamboo in Zheng Ronghua's palace in the imperial kitchen!"

Li Wanzhi clutched her sleeves tightly, her eyes darkening.

"Zheng Ronghua?"

Chun Shi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will go to the imperial kitchen to get some more food."

"No need, go to the small kitchen and eat whatever is available."

After this incident, how could Li Wanzhi still dare to eat food from the imperial kitchen?
Chu Yaoyao stood on tiptoes and raised her little hands high.

"I come!"

With that said, she ran back to her room and soon dragged out a large package.

"This is?"

Li Wanzhi was a little confused and picked up a round thing that looked like a dry pancake.

It's so hard, she and Chun Shi are okay, but Yao'er can't bite it.

"Add water and cook!"

Li Wanzhi did as she said with hesitation.

After a while, I smelled a rich and overbearing aroma.

“My dear, it’s actually cooked into noodles, and it’s so fragrant!”

Chun Shi breathed hard and closed her eyes with a look of enjoyment.

"younger sister!"

Chu Yao brought a lot of things, especially delicious ones.

As he walked, he thought, this time, he must become the most important brother in his sister's heart!
But he didn't expect that he didn't see the poor hungry little boy in his imagination.

Instead, I saw a little dumpling holding a bowl and slurping noodles with a satisfied expression on his face.

A familiar smell filled the air. He swallowed and forced himself to look away.

Silently he hid the food box behind his back.

Suddenly I felt like I couldn't take it anymore.

"Third brother! Do you want some noodles?"

Chu Yaoyao raised her face stained with fine noodles and waved to him.

Seeing her eating like a little cat, Chu Yao stepped forward with a funny look on his face.

When his eyes touched the meals brought back from the imperial kitchen on the table, his expression suddenly darkened.

"Is this from the imperial kitchen?!"

Those snobs!
How dare you treat Yaoyao so harshly?

Chu Yaoyao angrily told the story about the poisonous food.

"What a courage!"

Chu Yao immediately stood up and walked out aggressively.

"I'm going to report it to my father!"

He ran all the way to the imperial study, not wanting to bump into a concubine wearing a veil.

The moment she saw him, Xiao Yunxi's heart skipped a beat.

The corners of his mouth that were originally smiling froze, and he panicked for a moment.

I didn't expect to meet a familiar person so soon.

Although she was veiled, she had met the Third Prince many times!

Will she be exposed?

Xiao Yunxi was at a loss and froze in place.

Upon seeing this, Mo Ying reacted very quickly and leaned into her ear and mentioned something in a voice that could be heard by everyone present.

"Your Majesty, this is the third prince."

Her voice brought back Xiao Yunxi's thoughts. She took two steps forward, then stretched out her body, pinched her throat as hard as she could, and turned into a voice that was completely opposite to her usual voice.

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

Chu Yao had some doubts in his eyes.

Why does this person feel familiar?

"Who are you?"

The little eunuch beside him stepped forward to remind him.

"Your Highness, this is Yue Zhaoyi from Yuefu Palace."

"Yue Zhaoyi?"

Chu Yao frowned slightly.

"I'll take my leave first."

Afraid of making mistakes if he said too much, Xiao Yunxi left in a hurry.

Seeing her running away quickly, Chu Yao's doubts deepened.

Running so fast?

There must be something wrong in my heart!
When he entered the imperial study room and saw the soup cup on the table, and then thinking about the person he had just met, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The imperial concubine and Yaoyao were almost poisoned, but the father was actually in the mood to add fragrance to his red sleeves, and there was a beautiful concubine who brought soup to show her kindness!
It's simply... heartless!
Emperor Qi Xuan finished processing a memorial and looked up. When he saw his resentful eyes, his eyelids twitched and he felt puzzled.

What's wrong with this kid?
"What's the matter?"

Chu Yao snorted and turned his head to look aside.

"My sister's meal was poisoned by Zheng Ronghua!"

After hearing this, Emperor Qi Xuan clenched his hands on his knees into fists and looked down at the memorial on the table, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't make a sound for a long time, Chu Yao looked at him in disbelief.

"Father!"

"I said that the imperial concubine and my sister were poisoned, why didn't you react at all?"

Emperor Qixuan swept the soup cup to the ground with a crisp sound.

"I have already decreed that no one is allowed to go to Qionghua Palace. If you disobey the decree, you still have the nerve to question me?!"

"Then you punish me, you might as well put me in jail!"

Chu Yao gritted his teeth and stared at him, refusing to give in at all.

"Indiscriminately, you imprisoned the Zhenxihou Mansion. Even the Zhao family who begged for mercy did not let you go. Because of the false rumors, you neglected the concubine and sister..."

Chu Yao's eyes were red as he complained one by one.

Finally, he exerted so much force that the blood vessels in his forehead bulged, and he let out a cry:
"You don't look like our father at all!"

"shut up!"

Emperor Qixuan slapped the table hard and stood up.

"Don't mention this matter again!"

"Somebody come!"

Su Maowen walked in quickly, holding his breath.

"Send the third prince back to Chen Dong's residence, and don't allow him to step out of the palace!"

"No need, I can leave by myself!"

Chu Yao roared angrily, glared at him deeply, then turned around and strode away.

At this time, there were subtle footsteps outside the door, and Su Maowen looked over.

"Miss Mo Ying, what's the matter with you?"

Mo Ying looked at a loss, as if he was frightened by the situation just now.

"Manager Su, my mother-in-law's bracelet was left here."

Su Maowen motioned for her to wait outside, then turned and quickly entered the imperial study room.

"emperor?"

Emperor Qixuan gave him a look, then glanced under the desk.

Su Maowen looked down and saw that it was indeed there.

He was wondering, since the emperor had seen it a long time ago, why didn't he remind Yue Zhaoyi?

Mo Ying took the bracelet and left.

After the door was closed again, Emperor Qi Xuan sat back heavily as if he had lost all his strength. Blood was faintly flowing from the fingers of his clenched fists.

"emperor!"

Su Maowen was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him.

Emperor Qi Xuan grabbed his collar with all his strength, his eyes were red with murderous intent.

"The imperial dining room needs to be hammered down!"
