However, Ning Wan's comfort did not make Xiaoju completely let down her guard, and she even became more cautious.
Shen Jingyi did not explain, but took out an oil-paper bag like a magic trick, placed it on the table in front of him, and pushed it a little in the direction of Ning Wan.
After completing these movements, he returned to his previous position.
The oil paper package in front of me was tied with a red string, and a small red paper was pasted on the front with the word "cake" clearly written on the paper, which made this thing suddenly less mysterious.
Ning Wan didn't say anything, but took the oil-paper bag in front of her with great interest. Just as she was about to open it, she found Xiaoju pulling her sleeve.
When I turned around, I saw Xiaoju looking at the oil-paper bag on the table extremely nervously, as if she had seen something highly poisonous.
Even after looking at Ning Wan, he kept shaking his head at her.
Xiaoju had not forgotten that Ning Wan was poisoned, and the look she gave Shen Jingyi became increasingly unfriendly.
Thinking of Ning Wan beside her, Xiaoju did not speak directly, but quickly took out a small purse from her arms, took out a silver needle from it, and signaled Ning Wan to test the poison first before eating.
Ning Wan looked at Xiaoju and found it difficult to refuse since she was so serious.
Even if the food in the oil-paper package is poisonous, for her now it is just a matter of fighting poison with poison, so there is no need to go through the process of testing for poison.
Ning Wan didn't say anything, but just acquiesced to Xiaoju's poison testing.
Shen Jingyi, who had seen the whole scene, remained silent. Without waiting for Xiaoju to open the package to test for the poison, he reached out and took the oil paper package in front of him back.
Fingers nimbly opened it.
Although it was oil paper, the sound of paper being torn could still be heard in the private space of the carriage.
Shen Jingyi unfolded the oil paper and saw cakes neatly stacked together inside, red, yellow, white, and green.
Shen Jingyi pinched out a piece of green pastry without hesitation and put it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and swallowed it.
The whole movement was extremely smooth. Xiaoju could only watch as the person in front of her proved his innocence in the most direct way, while the silver needle in her hand was uselessly suspended in mid-air.
Shen Jingyi held the half-eaten cake in his hand, smiled at Ning Wan, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing that Chen Jingyi had swallowed it, Ning Wan pulled Xiaoju's still raised hand, took the silver needle from her hand, put it away, and signaled Xiaoju to be at ease.
After doing all this, Ning Wan took a piece of white pastry and started eating it. Of course, she did not forget to give Xiaoju a piece while eating.
It is said that one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who takes someone's money will be grateful.
She didn't expect Xiaoju to change her mind about Shen Jingyi quickly, but if she kept this attitude, this trip would be a torture.
Xiaoju was stunned for a moment when a pastry was stuffed into her mouth unexpectedly, but soon the pastry melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste eased Xiaoju's nervous mood.
Many times, it makes sense to eat in small bites. Although the pastry in her hand did not make people feel sick and the sweetness was moderate, Ning Wan, who had eaten modern pastries, still felt choked and could not help but eat a little slower.
After seeing Ning Wan eating the cakes, Shen Jingyi's mouth corners slightly raised.
He raised his hand again and picked up the teapot on the table, poured out a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Ning Wan: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
As he said that, he poured himself another glass and started drinking.
This was the first sentence Shen Jingyi said since getting on the carriage.
However, Xiaoju's hand, which was about to pull Ning Wan's sleeve again, froze.
Ning Wan looked at the teacup, then glanced at Shen Jingyi, picked up the teacup neatly and took a sip, "Hmm."
She believes it.
Killing is not the end of the world. If Shen Jingyi really wanted to kill her, there was no need to poison her again and again. What's more, this time he was the one who had to detoxify her.
Seeing Ning Wan drinking the tea without any precautions, Xiaoju lowered her head and silently nibbled on the pastry in her hand.
Perhaps I shouldn't have done this. Her Royal Highness's poison hasn't been cured yet, and now she's always worried because of my caution. I really shouldn't have done this.
Xiaoju made a decision after a brief silence, which was to test the poison without the knowledge of her own princess.
But the coachman outside the carriage was shocked.
If he heard correctly, a male voice seemed to be coming from the princess's carriage.
In other words, there was a man in the carriage.
The princess still can't change her previous bad habits, and even has to bring her male lover with her when she goes out?
But if he remembered correctly, all the princess's male favorites had been dismissed by that man.
So who is in the carriage now?
The driver was paying attention to the road conditions while thinking.
The coachman didn't even think of the assassin. After all, the car hadn't stopped along the way, which meant that the man was already in the car when he arrived at the princess's mansion.
So the princess brought the person with her.
But the coachman still thought of the purpose of this trip. Now that the princess is taking a man to Jingguo, the emperor of Jingguo will definitely be angry.
If I don't give the princess the antidote...
The driver thought to himself and felt a little more worried.
He did not forget what the emperor said to the princess, nor did he forget the task the emperor assigned to him.
I just hope that the princess's behavior won't be too outrageous and she won't just be obsessed with beauty like before.
But what the driver didn't know was that this was exactly what Shen Jingyi was thinking.
He deliberately let his fellow travelers know of his presence, so that he could travel with Ning Wan openly.
Although he had a more legitimate identity, the three days of waiting were already the limit.
After Ning Wan finished eating one piece, she picked up another piece of yellow cake, feeling the sweetness of the cloud cake that had not yet dissipated in her mouth, and looked at the one in her hand.
I guessed in my mind: Judging from the color, it should taste like chestnut.
Just wait until you put it in your mouth, and the moment the pastry melts, the unexpected sweetness from mung beans hits you.
Well, guessed wrong.
Ning Wan felt a little disappointed, but she continued to eat happily, her eyes fixed on the green pastry on the oil paper.
Could this also be mung bean cake?
Ning Wan was thinking about it, and there was only one last bite of the yellow mung bean cake left in her hand.
After stuffing the last small piece of pastry into her mouth, Ning Wan picked up the green pastry she had been longing for, put it to her mouth, and took a light bite.
There was no surprise, it was indeed mung bean cake.
Ning Wan admitted that she was a little too curious. She looked at the genuine mung bean cake that she had taken a bite of, and swallowed it slowly again, bite by bite.
And Shen Jingyi did not miss the emotional changes in Ning Wan's eyes. He reached out and took a piece of yellow cake.
The moment the pastry melted in his mouth, Shen Jingyi suddenly realized something. When he looked at Ning Wan again, he found that the other party was laughing.
It seems to be saying: Hey, you’ve been fooled too!
Shen Jingyi glanced away without saying anything, but he was thinking in his heart that he must taste it carefully before buying it next time.
