Chapter 135 She Wants to Poison Me, But She's Still a Nice Person

Push open the door of the private room No. 1.

Wen Yi's expression was obviously stunned for a moment.

He thought that the princess was the only one in the private room, but he didn't expect that there was a handsome man sitting next to the princess.

He knelt on one knee and clasped his hands over his chest in salute.

"Your humble servant greets the Princess. May the Princess be blessed?"

Su Yunyao stared at him for a while, thought carefully, looked good, but she didn't know him and was not interested.

I guess it was an official in Shengjing City who wanted to curry favor with the powerful and take shortcuts.

"Get up." Su Yunyao said calmly.

Xu Mubai peeled the orange. He knew that the princess didn't like the white fibers on the orange, so he removed them all. He also removed the skin from the orange segments before handing it to Su Yunyao.

Su Yunyao didn't answer and glanced at him sideways.

Xu Mubai immediately understood and put the orange slices to her lips.

When Wen Yi saw this scene, he was completely stunned.

He was just questioning who this person was, but the scene before him made him wonder, could this man be the eldest princess's lover?

The eldest princess does not have a husband yet.

After hearing about General Huo's victory banquet last time, she took the initiative to admit that General Huo and Lu Siqing were her men.

Why is there another one here?

How many men does the eldest princess have?

Just at the moment when Wen Yi lost his mind.

Pearl said worriedly, "Princess, it was a close call just now. The waiter who served the food in our private room was bribed to drug the food in our No. 1 private room. Fortunately, Lord Wen saw through it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Poisoning?

Xu Mubai's fingertips trembled, and the orange in his hand was squeezed out of the juice.

Su Yunyao had a calm expression and chuckled, "Who is so bold as to want to harm this princess?"

"In reply to the princess, the waiter said that it was a woman wearing a turban who gave him a silver ingot and a packet of medicine. I have already escorted the person to Shengjing Prefecture. I will give the princess an explanation within three days." Wen Yi said righteously.

"You haven't told me what kind of medicine that person wanted to give me?" Su Yunyao frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.

Wen Yi: ...

Is this the point?

"Princess." Wen Yi looked troubled. "This still needs to be examined by the imperial physician. I'm not sure what medicine it is."

"Unsure? Unsure means you have a guess." Su Yunyao asked with interest, "Then what are you guessing?"

Wen Yi's expression grew more serious. "Princess, when I investigate cases, I rely on evidence, not guesswork."

Su Yunyao raised an eyebrow, "So, what exactly is that medicine?"

Wen Yi: ...

"Princess……"

Just when he was hesitating whether to tell Su Yunyao his guess.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

emperor?

Everyone in the room suddenly looked shocked.

Xu Mubai hurriedly stood up from the stool.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."

When the emperor pushed the door open, Huo Xiao and Lu Mingfeng followed behind him.

Chen Qiu Nian was the last one to come in. His forehead was covered with a layer of sweat and his breathing was unstable. It was obvious that he had seen the emperor and turned around and ran over.

As soon as the emperor came in, he walked to Su Yunyao's side.

Xu Mubai consciously gave up a seat.

"Is my sister okay?" The emperor pulled her arm and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was eating the cleanly peeled orange segments, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down naturally beside Su Yunyao, his whole body cold and stagnant, his angular face expressionless, his pair of black eyes were unfathomable, with a sense of majesty that belonged to the emperor.

The voice he spoke again was not as gentle as when he spoke to Su Yunyao just now.

"Since the prefect of Shengjing is here, then tell me what happened. The murder of the princess is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan."

Wen Yi recounted in detail what had just happened.

"Has the woman in the white hood been caught?" The emperor's eyes were fierce.

Wen Yi lowered his head even more, "In reply to the emperor, I have failed in my duty and have not yet caught him."

A hint of anger surged in the depths of the emperor's black eyes.

When he was silent, the whole room was filled with a strong and chilling atmosphere, so quiet that you could see a pin drop.

At this moment, Lu Mingfeng stepped out from the crowd, his arms folded across his chest. "Your Majesty, since this matter concerns the eldest princess, it should be transferred to the Dali Temple. Please give me three days. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Three days?

Su Yunyao sneered when she heard these two words. "Is three days some kind of bad curse? The prefect of Shengjing said three days, and the Dali Temple Minister also said three days."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfeng and Wen Yi spoke almost at the same time.

"Your Majesty and the Princess, please give me two days..."

Su Yunyao looked at the emperor, whose face turned ashen with anger, and took a piece of orange peel and put it to the emperor's lips.

Seeing his serious expression and reluctance to speak, Su Yunyao called out again in a drawn-out tone, "Emperor."

The emperor's expression softened a little and he opened his mouth in cooperation.

"Look at how bitter and resentful you are, and I'm sitting here fine, nothing's wrong with me, right?"

Su Yunyao stuffed another orange slice into her mouth before slowly speaking.

"Everyone has to die, and perhaps being poisoned is the least painful way in the world, and it can also preserve my pretty face.

It's much better than drowning in the water, being fished out unrecognizable, with faces so swollen that you can't tell who is who.

Being burned to death is not a good idea either, that would be equivalent to disfigurement.

Hanging is even worse. I heard that after death, the tongue can't be put back in. So the person who wanted to poison me was quite nice!

Everyone fell silent after hearing Su Yunyao's words.

The eldest princess actually gave a good guy card to the person who wanted to poison her.

After all, no one present here could speak of matters of life and death so lightly in the same cheerful tone as today.

They couldn't understand how the eldest princess could take life and death so lightly.

Even the previous second, they were investigating the matter thoroughly in order to gain credit in front of the emperor and to satisfy their momentary verbal pleasure.

Su Yunyao talked as she ate.

At this time, the orange slices on the plate were almost gone.

"The oranges are gone." Su Yunyao sighed a little disappointedly. She moved her lips and just wanted Xu Mubai to sit over and continue peeling them.

Huo Xiao spoke first, "Princess, I will peel it for you."

"Come here." Su Yunyao patted the empty seat next to her and pulled the empty plate in front of Huo Xiao, "Sit down."

sit down……

Huo Xiao stared at the stool and hesitated for a second, without any intention of sitting down.

The emperor was also there at the time, and it seemed inappropriate for him to sit with the emperor.

Su Yunyao grabbed his sleeve and dragged her to sit next to him. She tilted her head towards the emperor and said, "Royal brother, you don't mind, right?"
