Chapter 17 The Wine is Poisonous

As the emperor's first son, Luo Yechen attracted a lot of attention as soon as he was born.

He grew up in pampering and developed a domineering and overbearing character.

He always thought that the position of crown prince should be his, but he didn't expect that it would be snatched away by the third brother halfway, so he has always been particularly resentful of the third brother.

Normally I could hide it a little, but now that I've drunk, I can't suppress the jealousy in my heart at all.

Luo Yechen knew that the third brother didn't like to drink, but he still deliberately forced him to drink.

He just wanted to embarrass the third brother.

He himself was not feeling well, and he did not want to make others feel better.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at this side, Luo Yechen not only did not restrain himself, but shouted even louder.

"If you're a man, drink this glass of wine! Third brother, don't let me look down on you!"

He wanted to let everyone see that even if the third brother became the crown prince, he still had to behave himself in front of him, the eldest brother!

Eunuch Chang couldn't stand it anymore and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince doesn't like to drink, so don't force him. If you want to drink, I will drink with you, okay?"

Luo Yechen cursed back: "Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"

Then he yelled at Luo Qinghan again.

"It's just a glass of wine, right? Why are you so hesitant?"

Luo Qinghan's gaze became colder.

If he hadn't considered that this was his mother's birthday party, he would have walked away in anger.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a small hand reached out from the side and picked up the wine glass in front of Luo Qinghan.

The person holding up the wine glass was Xiao Xixi.

She first smelled it and said intoxicatedly, "What a fragrant wine!"

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, she drank the wine in the glass.

Everyone was looking at her.

Luo Yechen frowned, his dissatisfaction evident in his words: "Who are you?"

Xiao Xixi's cheeks were slightly flushed due to the alcohol, and she smiled and said, "I am Xiao Liangdi."

Luo Yechen sneered disdainfully: "As a prince, you have actually fallen to the point of asking a woman to help you block the wine. Third brother, don't you feel ashamed?!"

He looked at Luo Qinghan, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Luo Qinghan ignored his provocation and looked at Xiao Xixi steadily, frowning slightly, obviously dissatisfied with her self-willed behavior just now.

He was just about to scold her when he saw her holding her stomach. Her originally rosy face gradually turned pale, beads of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose, and her face wrinkled into a ball, looking very uncomfortable.

So the scolding that was on the tip of his tongue turned into a question.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"My stomach hurts so much."

After saying that, Xiao Xixi opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Luo Qinghan's face changed.

He hurriedly hugged Xiao Xixi, his eyes fell on the wine glass beside him, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Brother, you poisoned the wine?!"

Luo Yechen never expected such a situation to happen. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He couldn't even hold the wine glass in his hand steadily. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

He yelled in panic.

"I didn't, it wasn't me!"

This scene shocked everyone present.

Everyone stood up, and some people walked over directly.

Many people saw it just now. Xiao Xixi suddenly had a stomachache and vomited blood after drinking. The blood was black, which obviously meant that the wine was poisonous.

And that cup of poisoned wine was originally intended for Luo Qinghan to drink.

If Xiao Xixi hadn't intervened, perhaps the person vomiting blood and falling to the ground would be Luo Qinghan.
