Everyone around looked over.
As soon as Han Yu heard the sound, he protected Chen Jingxi behind him.
The shopkeeper hurried over, and before the smile on his face could fully bloom, the woman grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground.
With his feet hanging in the air, the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned pale. "Girl, what's wrong?"
"How dare you poison our food!" the woman demanded harshly.
Upon hearing this, the diners around were all horrified and looked down at their food, fearing that they were also victims.
The shopkeeper struggled and hurriedly explained, "This... This is absolutely impossible! Our restaurant has always valued its reputation. How could we poison the food?"
The woman remained unmoved and continued to question, "If not, why would my young lady become like this?"
Beads of sweat appeared on the shopkeeper's forehead. "Miss, please put me down first. Let's talk it over."
The woman snorted coldly, "Who wants to listen to you cunning and slippery Daxia people? I advise you to take out the antidote obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
After saying this, the woman's fingers, like iron pliers, firmly locked the man's throat.
The shopkeeper's face instantly turned from pale to red. He opened his mouth with difficulty and uttered a broken cry: "Help... Help..."
Chen Jingxi approached them at this time and said in a deep voice, "Let him go."
Upon hearing this, the woman turned around and responded coldly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in other people's business!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly swung out a palm, bringing with it a fierce palm wind, and rushed straight towards Chen Jingxi.
Han Yu quickly pulled Chen Jingxi aside, and then returned a palm strike.
The woman's body shook slightly, she let go of the shopkeeper, turned around and started fighting with Han Yu.
The shopkeeper broke free from his restraints, gasping for breath. His face gradually regained its color. He looked at Chen Jingxi gratefully, turned around and ran downstairs.
"Oh!" Looking at the shopkeeper who got away, Chen Jingxi shook his head.
Turning and entering the private room, her eyes fell on the woman lying on the ground.
When Chen Jingxi got closer and took a look, he was stunned. It was Tuoba Yan.
"Tuoba Yan, wake up." Chen Jingxi called her softly a few times, but she didn't respond at all.
Seeing her flushed face and rapid breathing, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Chen Jingxi glanced at the food on the table and found that it was exactly the same as what she ordered. They were all signature dishes of this restaurant.
Her brows furrowed, and she wondered: Could someone really be trying to harm her? However, the shopkeeper's panicked look just now didn't seem like his doing.
Chen Jingxi carefully observed Tuoba Yan's symptoms, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind - this seemed to be an allergic reaction.
The two people fighting outside had their figures intertwined, and their palm winds and fist shadows collided in the air, making bursts of sounds of breaking through the air.
"Han Yu, stop hitting me. And you, if you want your princess to live, stop it right now."
After Chen Jingxi finished speaking, the two of them withdrew their hands at the same time.
"Let me ask you, what did your princess eat?"
The woman looked at Chen Jingxi warily and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Jingxi explained: "Princess, this isn't poisoning, it's an allergy."
"I've never heard of anything like allergic or not allergic."
Chen Jingxi sighed, "To put it simply, there are some foods that her body cannot tolerate, but she accidentally ate them."
After hearing this, the woman looked at the dishes on the table, pointed at one of them, and said angrily, "This is it! My princess only took two bites. It must have been poisoned by the shopkeeper."
Chen Jingxi was speechless. Allergic reaction! Allergic reaction!
The woman stared at Chen Jingxi fiercely, "You even let the shopkeeper get away. If anything happens to the princess, everyone here will be held responsible."
Chen Jingxi took a deep breath. "Okay, okay, okay, I don't understand a word of human language at all." Forget it, if the Princess of Xiqi really had an accident, it would not benefit anyone.
"Han Yu, help him up."
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Jingxi rolled her eyes and said, "Put your princess on that couch. Do you want your princess to lie on the floor all the time?"
The woman choked immediately.
Chen Jingxi fed her some more water and said, "Hanyu, go call a doctor."
"yes."
The woman stopped Han Yu again, "None of you can leave."
Chen Jingxi took a few deep breaths and said, "No, big sister, do you have any brains? Do you want your princess to die? Otherwise, go."
"I can't leave here."
"That's all, Hanyu, go ahead! Besides, you have nothing to be afraid of since I'm here. I can't run away."
The woman lowered her head and thought for a moment, then made way.
The cold rain just left for a while.
There was a commotion downstairs, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed up to the private room on the second floor. The leading officer shouted, "Who is causing trouble here?"
Before they could speak.
The shopkeeper appeared out of nowhere and pointed at Chen Jingxi and said, "It's them. They are in the same group and want to come here to defraud people."
Chen Jingxi listened to the shopkeeper's slander and sighed: I am just too soft-hearted and always like to meddle in other people's affairs.
The woman's face flushed with anger. She pointed at the shopkeeper and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! It was you who poisoned my princess!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked and started to discuss: "Princess? What princess?"
The maid sneered, her eyes sharp as a knife: "My princess is from Xiqi. If the princess is hurt, none of you will survive!"
The officers and soldiers were also shocked by this sudden news. They turned their eyes to the shopkeeper, and the leading officer asked sternly, "What's going on?"
