Ye Ling was furious when she learned that someone wanted to harm Ye Lin!

"Investigate! Find out who's behind this!"

"Grab that little stool for me!"

Mo Chi was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, why are you grabbing the small stool?"

"He's a eunuch from Mingyue Palace, he wouldn't go to the study unless there was a reason! Today he suddenly appeared there out of nowhere, and it just so happens that Ye Lin was sprayed with snake powder!"

"He's definitely involved in this matter!"

"Arrest him and torture him severely!"

"yes!"

Ye Qianqian sighed inwardly.

[It really is Father!]

[No wonder he's fit to be an emperor; his insight is so sharp!]

[That's right, this matter is inextricably linked to the people of Mingyue Palace! That Li Jieyu is definitely trying to harm Fifth Brother!]

Right now, the priority is to figure out why she wanted to harm Fifth Brother!

After listening to Ye Qianqian's heartfelt words, Ye Ling...

This has further solidified my judgment!

After the small stool was grabbed.

He attempted suicide several times.

However, he was struck on acupoints by Mo Chi.

Aside from being able to speak, he can't do any other movements.

"Tell me honestly, who ordered you to harm His Highness the Fifth Prince?!"

The little stool sneered.

"I never expected you guys to find out!"

"I thought I could do this without anyone noticing!"

"How did you come to suspect me?"

"This is not something you need to know! Just answer my question!"

"What if I don't answer?" Little Stool was now completely ready to go all out!

"I won't answer! What can you do? At worst, you'll just die. From the day I entered the palace, I've been prepared to be killed at any moment!"

Mo Chi sneered.

"Do you think the Emperor will let you die before the matter is thoroughly investigated?"

Do you think you have the ability to commit suicide?

"Since you're not afraid of death, then you can stay here and enjoy this torture!"

The little stool remained fearless.

"I'm not afraid of anything! I've seen these instruments of torture from the Imperial Prison before!"

Mo Chi shrugged.

"It's not these instruments of torture. I have a way to torture you!"

"Bring the things up!"

The little stool wasn't curious about what it was.

"There's nothing to be afraid of!"

"There is nothing in this world that can frighten me! Even if the emperor were in front of me, I would not be afraid!"

soon.

Two eunuchs carried in a large bamboo basket covered with a cloth.

After the cloth was lifted.

The little joke was completely dumbfounded!

Inside the bamboo basket.

It's packed with cilantro!

"This, cilantro?"

"Exactly!"

Mo Chi looked at him with a smug expression.

"Cilantro is the vegetable you fear most; in your eyes, it's poison!"

"I wonder how you'd feel if I stuffed this whole basket of cilantro into your mouth?"

A flicker of fear crossed Xiao Dengzi's face.

"Mo Chi! How could you be so vicious?! You actually tried to poison me with cilantro!"

"Vicious? How could it be vicious?"

"Cilantro is a really delicious vegetable!"

Mo Chi waved his hand.

"Feed him the cilantro!"

"yes!"

Soon, a eunuch pried open the mouth of the small stool.

They stuffed handfuls of cilantro into his mouth!

The little stool was resisting with its whole body.

However, he was acupunctured by Mo Chi.

There was simply no way to refuse to swallow it!

"Cough cough cough!"

They were stuffed in later.

The little stool choked.

He started coughing violently.

"Force him to drink water!"

"yes!"

The eunuch immediately brought over a large cup of water and poured it down the stool's throat.

Xiao Dengzi was thinking about it.

After drinking this glass of water, the pain caused by the cilantro will be relieved.

However.

The little stool never expected this.

The water that was poured in was actually water used to boil cilantro!

The little stool was devastated!

This means he ate the cilantro again!

"Cough cough cough!"

The little stool started coughing violently again!

"Ink Pond! You are so despicable!"

"Who taught you this method?!"

"I don't need anyone to teach me, I know it naturally!" Mo Chi said smugly.

He asked, crossing his legs.

"How is it? How does this cilantro taste?"

"You, you—I can still tolerate it! It's just cilantro, it's not poison!"

"If I've already swallowed it, I've already swallowed it. At worst, I'll just poop it out!"

"Let me warn you, if I were to defecate here, it would stink you to death!"

Mo Chi uttered a single, understated sentence.

"If you want to disgust me, I'll disgust you in return!"

Mo Chi waved his hand.

"Let him continue eating the next dish."

Soon two eunuchs carried in another bamboo basket.

The little stool thought it was cilantro again.

However.

After the cloth was lifted.

Only then did the little stool realize.

This time, it was houttuynia cordata!

"Houttuynia cordata?!"

"Mochi!"

"You are truly the most despicable imperial guard I have ever seen!"

Mo Chi maintained his indifferent expression.

"How can one become a royal guard without being a little shameless?!"

"And how can we help the Emperor relieve his worries and troubles!"

"Houttuynia cordata is the second vegetable that will terrify you!"
