Tsk, what a dog emperor.
Jiang Ziyi quickly called the system in her heart.
"I bought a peace amulet. Can it detoxify?"
"Okay, but you don't want to eat it all, do you?... It's okay to eat less." The system was a little confused about her thoughts...
After receiving a positive response from the system, Jiang Ziyi turned around and asked Bitao to bring the dishes to the pavilion.
Then he said to Rong Jingyuan with a pleasant expression, "It is an honor for these two dishes that this dish has caught the eye of His Majesty."
Rong Jingyuan saw that she looked calm and that her composure did not seem fake, and he almost thought that the food was not poisoned.
But according to the report from the spy he planted next to Jiang Ziyi, the peanuts soaked in vinegar are poisonous!
They came to the pavilion, Rong Jingyuan watched her sit down, and personally handed her the chopsticks.
For a moment, I felt a little uncertain.
However, just when he was about to pick up a peanut, the queen would extend her chopsticks, quickly pick up the one he was about to pick up, and put it on her own plate.
This was repeated several times.
He said slowly: "Why is the Queen just picking up the food but not eating it?"
Jiang Ziyi was a little unsure about how much poison the amulet could resist, so she picked it up and put it on the plate.
Seeing Rong Jingyuan's suspicion, he had no choice but to eat.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? We're going to let it air dry before eating. Otherwise, the vinegar juice will splash on you and it will be bad."
After saying that, she picked up a peanut and slowly put it into her mouth under Rong Jingyuan's gaze.
After chewing it twice, he swallowed it.
Rong Jingyuan stared at her the whole time and ate the peanut.
I thought, could it be a slight poison?
Bi Tao was so scared that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't dare to stop the Queen at this time. If she did, everything would be exposed.
What the Queen asked her to put in the food was a deadly poison!
The kind that will kill you on the spot if you eat a few more bites!
Seeing that she remained calm and collected, Rong Jingyuan didn't believe that she could stop him if he insisted on eating.
Seeing the chopsticks coming at him with unstoppable speed, Jiang Ziyi immediately exclaimed, "A-choo!"
A sneeze hit the dish in front of him.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and sure enough, Rong Jingyuan's face froze and he was stunned on the spot.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she thought to herself, "Let you pretend! I'll make you sick to death!"
Rong Jingyuan suppressed his anger so intensely that veins on his forehead throbbed. He put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "I have suddenly lost my appetite and cannot dine with the Queen. The Queen should eat this dish by herself."
Jiang Ziyi sighed and said, "I'm sorry for being rude." The way her clothes were fitted made it impossible to find fault with them.
Just when she thought Rong Jingyuan would leave immediately, she heard his cold voice again, "I don't know when the Queen's relationship with Liang Zhaoyi became so good, so good that she could just come to Ningchun Palace and take away two dishes?"
Jiang Ziyi ignored the hidden meaning in Rong Jingyuan's words.
She simply said in a tone that sounded somewhat sad: "Originally, I also felt that Liang Zhaoyi was Your Majesty's exclusive favor and was extremely jealous. However, since I am the Queen, I should be more considerate and take better care of my sisters. If I continue to be jealous, won't I become a resentful woman in the deep palace?"
Hearing this, the smile on Rong Jingyuan's face deepened, but his heart became colder. He knew the Queen's temper best. She must be planning something with the Queen Mother this time.
He snorted coldly in annoyance and walked away.
Only after seeing Rong Jingyuan leave did Jiang Ziyi's tense body completely relax.
Bitao quickly brought a pot of water for her to drink.
While crying, he urged her to spit it out quickly.
Jiang Ziyi looked at Bi Tao's anxious expression and couldn't bear to see her worry, so she stood up, patted her shoulder and said softly, "It's okay. I took the antidote in advance."
Bi Tao sobbed and asked, "Really?"
"When did I ever lie to you?"
Only then did Bitao stop crying. She was almost scared to death by the Queen.
Jiang Ziyi felt warm in her heart when she saw the little palace maid who was truly worried about her.
Bi Tao was a servant who grew up with the original owner. After she entered the palace, she also followed her into the palace to serve. It could be said that she was the only person who could be completely trusted in this palace full of intrigues.
She whispered, "Pack these two dishes and take them away."
Bi Tao: "Empress, can't you just throw this away?"
Jiang Ziyi poked Bitao's eyebrows with her finger and said, "Little fool, if His Majesty asks someone to test it, won't it still be exposed?"
Bitao blushed and said "oh". It seems that the Queen is very thoughtful when it comes to thinking things through.
If His Majesty found out that the dish was thrown away, it would be equivalent to indirectly admitting that he had something to hide.
She whispered in Jiang Ziyi's ear, "Then I'll take it back and bury it in the flower bed in the yard."
Jiang Ziyi gave her a thumbs up. This little palace maid of hers was quite smart!
At night, Rong Jingyuan called the chief eunuch and asked, "Little Li, have you found the two dishes from the Queen's place?"
Eunuch Li bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I sent someone to check the slag bowl in the Empress's palace, but found no trace of peanuts or beef."
Rong Jingyuan frowned. Could it be that the queen really ate it all?
Or maybe, she really didn't poison him?
But if she didn't poison it, why would she stop me from eating it?
