As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, she pulled Xiaohong along.
"Xiao Hong, come with me."
Xiaohong is petite, so maybe it would be helpful if she came along, Qian Ruoyu thought.
After bringing Xiaohong along, Qian Ruoyu brought Yan'er to the new place.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the new place, Qian Ruoyu saw that the courtyard door of the new place was ajar.
But Qian Ruoyu did not go directly to the door of the new place. Instead, she brought the two people behind her to the side.
On the side was the low wall that Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er left last time. After climbing over the low wall, Qian Ruoyu quickly saw the trap behind the door.
Although the door was ajar, there was a vine behind it that was half a foot above the ground, with two buckets of water tied on both sides of the vine.
In this way, if someone easily pushes the door open and walks in, they will inevitably be tripped by the vine, and therefore the bucket will be tripped as well, thus alerting the people in the room.
Qian Ruoyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Such a trick could not be hidden from her at all!
After seeing this scene, Xiaohong and Yan'er praised Qian Ruoyu again and again.
"My lady, you are indeed very smart..."
"I didn't expect you to guess this, Madam, you are really amazing!"
Hearing these two sentences of flattery, Qian Ruoyu just smiled faintly and brought the two of them to the vicinity of the orchard.
Li Zhiyi's new place was not bigger than her own, but because she dressed up carefully every day and had many maids under her, the new place looked much more lively than the old one.
Then Qian Ruoyu also saw hot smoke coming out of the room, as if soup was cooking inside.
Qian Ruoyu made a hushing gesture to the two of them, asking them to stay where they were, and then Qian Ruoyu approached the other side of the room alone.
Before I got close to Qian Ruoyu, I could smell the faint aroma of chicken.
As Qian Ruoyu got closer to the room, the smell of chicken became stronger and stronger.
At this time, there was no one in the yard of the new place, only Li Zhiyi and Dan'er were left in the room.
The door of the room was closed, but they forgot to leave a hole in the window on the west side.
That’s right, this hole was still left by Qian Ruoyu when she came here for “travel” last time.
Through the button of the window, Qian Ruoyu saw that there was a small cup on the table inside, with charcoal and some grass leaves burning underneath, which seemed to be burning very vigorously.
The small cup contained chicken soup. At the same time, Qian Ruoyu also saw the blue and white porcelain bowl placed next to the table!
When Qian Ruoyu suddenly saw the celadon bowl, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
After all, I had just taught Li Zhiyi a lesson once, and yet Li Zhiyi actually stole things from the kitchen again. This is simply an unforgivable crime!
Just when Qian Ruoyu was about to stand up and expose the truth, she suddenly saw Li Zhiyi take out a pill from her sleeve.
It was a pink pill, which Qian Ruoyu had never seen before. Moreover, because the distance was too far, it was difficult for Qian Ruoyu to see it clearly.
However, Li Zhiyi quickly threw the pink pill into the chicken soup and stirred it gently with chopsticks.
After stirring, layers of pink bubbles appeared on the chicken soup, just like foam.
The bubbles quickly disappeared without a trace, but the chopsticks in Li Zhiyi's hand were thrown aside.
Li Zhiyi said with some disgust.
"Dan'er, throw away these chopsticks quickly, or we will be poisoned too!"
Daner nodded quickly, then picked up the chopsticks through a handkerchief and threw them on the flower bed outside the door.
Daner finally threw away her handkerchief, looking very disgusted.
When Qian Ruoyu saw the chopsticks, she had an idea and went straight to the flower bed, picked up the chopsticks, and handed them to Yan'er.
After asking Yan'er to look after him carefully, Qian Ruoyu returned to the window.
At this time, the bowl of chicken soup was ready, and Li Zhiyi ordered Dan'er, "Go to the gate of the palace and see if the prince has returned. If the prince has returned, notify me immediately."
"It's best to let the prince drink this bowl of chicken soup while it's hot. The prince must be drunk standing in the restaurant. This bowl of chicken soup can just sober him up and complete our mission at the same time..."
When he suddenly heard these words, Qian Ruoyu's eyes changed and his brows frowned.
Is this... going to harm that man again?
This made Qian Ruoyu feel a little bit unacceptable for a moment. If the pills in the chicken soup were not poison, why would Li Zhiyi and Dan'er dislike it so much?
In Qian Ruoyu's impression, Li Zhiyi has feelings for Prince Chu Mobai, so how could she possibly poison Chu Mobai?
All these things made Qian Ruoyu feel unbelievable. Could it be that Li Zhiyi's feelings for Chu Mobai were fake?
At this time, Dan'er had already run out of the yard of the new place and headed towards the gate of the palace.
At this time Qian Ruoyu was a little anxious about how she could find a way to expose all this and make Li Zhiyi reveal her true colors in front of Chu Mobai.
Based on Chu Mobai's impression of Qian Ruoyu, if he rashly told him that the chicken soup was poisonous, Chu Mobai would probably not even believe it.
And even if Chu Mobai knew that the chicken soup was poisonous, how could he believe that it was his concubine who poisoned it?
The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu feel a little helpless, and then he had to look at the pair of chopsticks.
It seems that this matter is not just as simple as the lost celadon bowl. In addition to the celadon bowl, it seems that I have accidentally discovered something big.
Li Zhiyi is still so careless. She actually came to the kitchen to steal things during such an important matter. No wonder her plan could not be completed!
It was precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu was no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead, she returned to the yard and hid in a corner with Xiaohong and Yan'er.
But Qian Ruoyu did not tell the truth to the two of them, but instead said.
"Xiaohong, you will have a chance to show off your skills later. Li Zhiyi and Dan'er will be leaving the new place soon. When they leave, sneak into their room and find the place where they hide the stove. Also, look for other pink pills in their room."
Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Xiaohong naturally nodded quickly.
Although Xiaohong didn't know Qian Ruoyu's plan, she knew that Qian Ruoyu would not harm her.
Not long after, Daner ran in hurriedly from outside and even accidentally stepped on the vine.
