Then, he put down his chopsticks, turned his gaze to her pure and flawless face, and said in a neutral tone, "It seems that Your Highness is in a very good mood tonight. Perhaps... Your Highness would like to go first."
After he finished speaking, his cold, dark eyes remained fixed on her without showing any emotion.
It seemed as if he wanted to see through all her thoughts.
"Ah? Okay..." Su Tiyue paused for a moment, then awkwardly withdrew her hand: "Then I'll drink first."
She lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat guilty, but still nonchalantly drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, how is this wine?" he asked.
Su Tiyue answered honestly, "Fruit wine, of course it's sweet."
"Oh? Is that so?" He curved his lips into a smile, as if he were smiling, but then again, he wasn't.
After downing a glass of wine.
But only for a short while.
Two faint blushes appeared on her face.
Su Tiyue glanced at the empty cup in front of Xiao Heye, bit her lip, and looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiao Heye understood her thoughts, so he stretched out his arm, picked up the wine pot on the table, and poured himself a full cup.
Su Tiyue didn't speak, but her eyes were constantly watching Xiao Heye's every move.
Xiao Heye calmly picked up the wine glass. He didn't rush to drink, but slowly brought the rim of the glass close to his nose...
He closed his eyes and sniffed it carefully again and again.
Then, Xiao Heye gently put down his wine glass. When he looked up at Su Tiyue, the emotions deep in his eyes seemed about to burst forth.
"Your Majesty, this wine... is poisoned." He said calmly, as if he had expected this outcome.
Su Tiyue's eyes flickered, and she stammered, "How could that be? I had a drink, and I didn't feel anything was wrong?"
Xiao Heye lowered his voice and said casually, "Well, it might not be poison, but there's something unclean in this wine."
He has already made his point clear, so there's no point in Su Tiyue lying anymore.
Left with no other choice, she could only obediently admit, "Master, I... I didn't poison it. I did add something else to the wine... but I swear, I really didn't poison it."
Xiao Heye sneered, "Tsk, I know. That white powder isn't poison, it's sugar..."
"Master Xiao, you knew all along?"
"Hmm. Hehe..." Xiao Heye lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, hahahahaha...!"
"..."
After laughing enough, Xiao Heye slowly raised his head, gently tracing Su Tiyue's glossy, rosy lips with his fingers. His voice was like the whisper of a demon from hell: "Your Majesty, this wine... really is poisoned. And I was the one who poisoned it..."
Seemingly feeling he hadn't explained clearly enough, Xiao Heye tried to explain again, his sinister voice reaching her ears once more: "No, it was Her Majesty herself who did it. I replaced Her Majesty's candy with poison."
As he spoke, he tossed Su Tiyue's small package out of his sleeve.
Su Tiyue's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "You, you switched my things?"
Xiao Heye nodded.
Su Tiyue quickly thought through the information in her mind and then remembered that she had only encountered two people from Tingyu Tower to Yelan Pavilion.
One is Li Xun, and the other is Jiang Lisu.
However, Su Tiyue and Li Xun did not have any physical contact, but Jiang Lisu...
Su Tiyue took the initiative to pull her arm, and the two chatted in the pavilion for a while.
Could it be her?
"Is it Miss Jiang?" she asked, unwilling to give up.
Xiao Heye curled his lips into a forced smile and said, "Your Majesty, the saying 'harming others ultimately harms oneself' is very fitting for you."
"But I didn't. I never intended to harm the palm print. This really is candy; I tasted it myself last night..."
"Whether it's sugar or poison, does Your Majesty really believe the Prince of Huainan's words so readily? Do you think I'm angry because you put something else in my wine? Do you think I'm that afraid of death?" Xiao Heye was utterly disappointed.
"If you had hesitated even for a moment, you wouldn't have been poisoned tonight..."
"Compared to the Empress's distrust, a cup of poisoned wine is really nothing to me, Xiao."
Su Tiyue looked at the empty wine glass in front of her. No wonder... no wonder Xiao Heye didn't drink it earlier.
It turns out the wine really was poisoned, and she had secretly added it herself without knowing it...
Yes, Xiao Heye has always held grudges and always seeks revenge.
