When Xiao Zhihua saw Qin Ye raising his head to drink tea and swallowing, a hidden light flashed across his eyes...

Next to her, Concubine Tong had just picked up her chopsticks, but paused before turning her head to glance at Qin Ye.

However, he did not say much.

"After the vegetarian meal, you can all go back. I'm going to stay here for a few days. No one should bother me." She picked up a piece of shredded potato with chopsticks, added some other dishes, picked up the bowl, and walked to the side to eat in a very down-to-earth manner.

She is not some noble daughter, and her words and actions are all casual and free.

Xiao Zhihua bit her chopsticks and wanted to mention the matter of returning to Prince Chen's Mansion, but Concubine Tong's words were like blocking her mouth, making it difficult for her to bring it up for a while.

Xiao Zhihua and Qin Ye were eating at the same table in a peaceful manner, and the atmosphere was strange to begin with.

Zong Zhengchen had no appetite. After a simple meal, he said distantly:

"Come here, send Miss Xiao down the mountain. Ye'er, it's time for us to go back. Mother, I will come to take you back to the palace in five days."

Concubine Tong waved her hands with an impatient look on her face. The love-hate relationship between these people had made her hide in Tianling Temple, but she still couldn't find peace.

Why should an old lady like her be involved in her son's feelings?

Urged: "Get out of here."

Qin Ye looked up, "Hmm?"

When she looked over, Concubine Tong had an elegant and dignified smile on her face, her eyes filled with kindness and patience: "Son, daughter-in-law, have a safe journey."

Qin Ye: “…”

Xiao Zhihua bit her lower lip lightly, her eager eyes fixed on the man, unwilling to look away.

That scorching gaze seemed to be fixed on the man and could not be ignored.

Concubine Tong frowned.

If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences.

Worrying and indecisiveness will only cause trouble.

"By the way, Xiao Ye, you stay here first. I'll give you two scriptures. You can read them when you have nothing to do. You two should go out first." She took Qin Ye's hand and walked inside. The old nanny understood and asked Prince Chen and Miss Xiao to go out.

Her Majesty's intention is to let His Royal Highness Prince Chen resolve the matter once and for all.

Either accept her or cut off all her hopes. It is not the style of His Royal Highness Prince Chen to keep any ties with her.

Squeak——

The door is closed.

King Chen is outside and Qin Ye is inside.

In the closed and deserted Zen room, Concubine Tong suddenly stopped, grabbed Qin Ye's hand and pressed it directly on her shoulder. The other hand fell on her back, pinched a certain acupoint, and pressed it hard.

“Hmm!”

Qin Ye's face changed, his abdomen churned, and his stomach roared as if it was exploding and jumped up to his throat.

Suddenly I couldn't control myself and vomited:

“Pfft…cough cough!”

Rice, vegetables, tea...

Filthy place...

She hadn't realized what was going on yet, "Mother... ahem... Mother?"

Why did you suddenly do that to her?

Concubine Tong stood aside, looking at her sullenly, "Child, your vigilance is still too weak. How can you stand firm in the royal family in the future?"

As she spoke, her finger pointed to the filth on the ground.

The tea that was spit out turned black...

poison!

It's poison!

Qin Ye was shocked.

The vegetarian meal was brought in by Xiao Zhihua, who actually poisoned her tea! But she was born with a keen sense of poison, and did not detect the poison when she drank the tea.

She was stunned, "Mother, how do you know the tea is poisonous?"

“This is not poison.”

Concubine Tong had long heard that Qin Ye was knowledgeable in medicine, but no matter how advanced one's medical skills were, it would be difficult to detect the existence of such a thing.

"It is a plant called the fruitless flower. If taken for a long time, it can damage a woman's body and make her infertile for life."
