Is this thing for human consumption?

Her father could actually eat it.

[This food is poisonous.] Jun Yunyan suddenly spoke, his eyes deep in the darkness looking at what City Lord Bai was holding.

Bai Suning's heart suddenly began to lift.

She immediately ran over and took his bowl.

Lord Bai: “????”

Seeing the bowl in his hand fly away, he was really confused. Then he set his sights on Bai Suning and asked with some questioning and confusion: "What are you doing? There is only one bowl of rice, no extra for you."

Bai Suning couldn't describe her feelings at the moment, she felt that her father's behavior was beyond her imagination.

You are already a prisoner, why do you still have the leisure to say these things?

It seemed as if all these were just fun for him.

"Who wants to eat your meal?" Bai Suning put it aside, and Jun Yunyan raised the protective shield for her again. "It's poisonous. If you eat it, you'll die before you can see the emperor."

City Lord Bai looked at the rice, then at his daughter, and asked, "We've eaten it so many times before and it wasn't poisonous, why is it poisonous this time?"

"Isn't this simple?" Bai Suning felt that her father was a little off the mark. "Some people don't want you to see them alive. They want you to die in the cell. That would be suicide out of fear of punishment."

City Lord Bai frowned and muttered to himself, "Are you sure you're not just imagining this?"

Bai Suning: "..."

It's already this time, how could she have the time to think about all this?

After a while.

The man came back again.

Bai Suning was made invisible by Jun Yunyan again. She stood next to City Lord Bai and watched him talk to her father.

"City Master Bai, why haven't you eaten this meal?" The person who brought the meal took a look at the untouched meal, his eyes darkening as he casually asked, "Is it not to your liking?"

"Well, it's a bit not to my taste." City Lord Bai nodded pretending to be serious.

The person who delivered the food: “????”

He just wanted to ask why City Lord Bai took it seriously.

After glancing at City Lord Bai for a few times, she asked again, "How about I go prepare a delicious meal for City Lord Bai, so that we can have a good meal before we set off again."

"That's fine." City Lord Bai nodded seriously.

The person who delivered the meal: “…”

Although he was dissatisfied with this behavior, he could not complete his mission without eating the meal, so he had to inform the emperor and City Lord Xue about making another delicious meal.

Unexpectedly, the two of them actually agreed.

An hour later.

The man came again to deliver the food.

With meat and vegetables, life can be considered rich.

"Lord Bai, we've prepared delicious food for you. Eat and go see the Emperor." The person who brought the food said kindly, glancing at the food. "After you see the Emperor and say what you need to say, it's time to send you on your way."

Lord Bai was about to eat again.

Bai Suning was relieved after learning from Jun Yunyan that this thing was also poisonous. She frowned and whispered, "This thing is also poisonous. Don't eat it."

Lord Bai paused with his chopsticks in his hand.

Can I still have a good meal?

Seeing that City Lord Bai didn't move his hands, the person who brought the food asked with a look of confusion and puzzlement: "City Lord Bai, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." City Lord Bai put down his bowl and chopsticks. He felt that life was more important than eating. "I just suddenly lost my appetite and don't want to eat anymore."

The person who delivered the food: “????”

Don’t.

He finally cooked a meal but didn't eat it. How could he explain this to the people outside?

"You should eat at least a little," he advised, not wanting the food to be left there in vain. "There won't be any food like this down there. Eat well before you go. That way you won't feel so much pain later."

Lord Bai frowned and said nothing.

The man suggested again: "How about I prepare some wine for you, so that you can enjoy the food more."

"No need." City Lord Bai casually refused.

He finally understood now.

If he doesn't eat, everything he loosens will be poisonous. If he drinks alcohol, the alcohol will also be poisonous.

"Then you should eat at least a little," the man continued, a look of trouble between his brows and a slightly heavy voice. "If you don't eat, it will be bad for you when you set out on the journey. You will suffer terribly and won't be able to reincarnate."

Lord Bai: “????”

City Lord Bai looked at him with a serious expression and frowned, "Who told you that reincarnation has anything to do with this?"

"I..." the man tried to explain.

"Reincarnation is related to what a person did when he was alive." City Lord Bai said this seriously, looking at him with a look of disgust. "If you want me to eat poisoned food and die quickly, there's no need to say such nonsense."

He was really pissed off.

That person: “!!!!”

He looked at City Lord Bai with shock on his face, then immediately concealed his emotions and said with some trepidation: "What are you talking about? How can this be poisoned rice... This is..."

"If there's no poison in this, try a bite and let me see." City Lord Bai said casually, glancing at the prisoners in other cells, still as casual as before. "Or give some to those with less serious crimes and see if they die."

The person who delivered the food didn't dare to speak.

If this were really eaten by other prisoners, he would be the next person to be executed.

"Go tell whoever ordered you to poison me." City Lord Bai watched his changing expression and knew that his son-in-law was very accurate. "You are a little stupid to think of killing me in this way. I am not that stupid."

"Yes." The man could only leave in shame.

Bai Suning looked at his serious expression with a look of disdain on her face, and said sarcastically, "You're not that stupid. I don't know who just picked up the bowl and started eating."

Lord Bai: "..."

Lord Bai paused for a moment and then started to scold her: "How can you say that about your own father?"

Bai Suning didn't say anything.

at the same time.

Outside.

After the person who delivered the meal went out, he told City Lord Xue and Xue Yue about this matter.

After hearing this, both of them frowned.

"How did he know the food was poisoned?" Xue Yue asked, her brows heavy, somewhat confused as to what was going on. "My impression of City Lord Bai is that he doesn't understand pharmacology or poisons."

"I don't know." The person who delivered the food was very nervous and felt uneasy.

If the emperor knew about this, he would have so many heads chopped off that he wouldn't be able to stop.

City Lord Xue doesn't care about other people's heads. He only cares about how to kill City Lord Bai.

"You go down first." Xue Yue didn't want the subsequent conversation to be known by outsiders, so she sent the person who delivered the food away.

After the people left.

City Lord Xue then looked at Xue Yue and asked, "If Bai Xiaotian can't be killed in the cell, it will be a bit troublesome."
