Zhao Xunfang saw Qi Yuning drink the wine and took a deep breath.

Qi Yuning noticed something was wrong with Zhao Xunfang's expression, so she called over a nearby palace maid and whispered, "Send the imperial physician to check this glass of wine..."

After the palace maid took the wine away, Qi Yuning stopped drinking.

After Lu Ze finished drinking with his colleagues, he returned to sit next to Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning smelled the alcohol on Lu Ze and asked, "How much did you drink?"

Lu Ze chuckled and said, "I didn't drink much."

The palace maid came back quickly and said to Qi Yuning, "Princess, this wine is fine."

Qi Yuning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, but Zhao Xunfang's eyes just now still made Qi Yuning sense something strange. Zhao Xunfang had to come to toast for no reason and was so nervous.

Afterwards, Qi Yuning only dared to eat dishes that Lu Ze had eaten at the palace banquet.

Seeing that Qi Yuning picked up whatever dish he picked up, Lu Ze deliberately picked up a piece of ginger.

Qi Yuning didn't suspect anything and followed Lu Ze to pick up a piece of ginger. As she took a bite, she frowned, while Lu Ze beside her chuckled.

Qi Yuning heard Lu Ze's smile and twisted his waist with her hand, saying with a slight frown, "Lu Ze, how could you deliberately make me eat ginger?"

Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Why do you eat whatever I eat today?"

Qi Yuning said, "I'm afraid of being poisoned."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Anyone who dares to poison the palace banquet will not only be punished by extermination of all nine generations of their clan, but will also be punished by being cut into pieces and tortured to death."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I was too cautious because of Zhao Rong. After all, at my age, it's embarrassing and ridiculous to be so frightened by a child like Zhao Rong."
