When Qian Ruoyu thought about Chu Mobai being poisoned, she remained calm and had no other thoughts at all.
But this time, Qian Ruoyu naturally felt that it was unfair that she was the one who suffered the poisoning.
But Qian Ruoyu then slowly woke up, and his eyes focused again. This time he was finally much better than before.
At the same time, Qian Ruoyu looked at the dish again. Because she was anxious, she didn't care whether the dish was poisoned, and started eating it directly.
Now, after taking another look at the braised pork trotters, Qian Ruoyu tried to insert the silver needle into it.
The color of the silver needle changed quickly, and it turned out that the whole dish was poisonous!
Qian Ruoyu then checked the other dishes again, only to find that there was nothing wrong with them. Only the braised pork trotter in front of him was poisoned.
"That doesn't make sense. If you want to poison it, just poison it. Why only poison this one dish?"
Qian Ruoyu was completely puzzled. She couldn't figure out why they would poison only this dish. Was there any specific purpose?
“That’s right!”
"It seems that the other party poisoned the dish because someone really likes to eat braised pig's trotters, so they deliberately poisoned this dish."
"In this case, let's wait and see who likes to eat braised pork trotters. Then we will know who to poison. Maybe it's not aimed at Chu Mobai."
After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu nodded complacently, thinking that his idea was indeed a good one.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu reorganized the braised pork trotters and decided to find out who poisoned the pork trotters, so that he might be able to catch the real culprit behind the poisoning.
After being rearranged, the braised pork trotter was back to its original state, not looking like anyone had eaten it, and Qian Ruoyu threw the trotter that she had taken a bite of into the corner.
Then Qian Ruoyu sneaked out of the room and returned to the hall.
At this moment, the whole hall began to become lively. It turned out that Chu Mobai had arrived at the door of the hall.
"The prince has arrived!"
After a maid finished shouting, Chu Mobai walked directly into the hall, and following behind Chu Mobai was Li Zhiyi, who looked aggrieved.
Qian Ruoyu was just about to ask what had happened to Chu Mobai's guards, but Chu Mobai looked like he would not tell her easily. It seemed that she could only wait until after dinner to find Chu Mobai to find out what had happened to him.
After Chu Mobai came in, he saw Qian Ruoyu in the hall, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Why are you here?" he said coldly.
Qian Ruoyu also spoke coldly.
"Why can't I come?"
"I am the mistress of the palace. Don't I have a share of the meal? Besides, someone will apologize to me later. If I don't come, will she apologize to the void?"
The person Qian Ruoyu was hinting at was Li Zhiyi who was standing behind Chu Mobai, and Li Zhiyi seemed to be crying at this time.
Qian Ruoyu knew without even thinking that Li Zhiyi had obviously gone to find Chu Mobai before this, wanting to plead with Chu Mobai, hoping that Chu Mobai would withdraw his order.
However, seeing her crying like that, Qian Ruoyu knew that Li Zhiyi's plea had obviously failed, and Chu Mobai did not take back his order.
Under Qian Ruoyu's suggestion, Li Zhiyi looked like she was about to cry, but Chu Mobai ignored her and sat directly in the main seat.
As soon as Chu Mobai sat down, Qian Ruoyu and Li Zhiyi sat down on his left and right.
"There are only three of us having dinner today. The others will not be coming for the time being."
Chu Mobai spoke first.
How could Qian Ruoyu not know what Chu Mobai was thinking?
If everyone came here to eat, then dozens of people would be watching Li Zhiyi apologize to them at the same time.
Now there were only three of them in the hall, plus a few servants and maids. Even if Li Zhiyi apologized, she could show some mercy and it wouldn't be as embarrassing as before.
But the more this happened, the more Qian Ruoyu developed an inexplicable feeling towards Chu Mobai and Li Zhiyi.
This Li Zhiyi is indeed spoiled, and she is particularly good at pretending to be aggrieved, which makes Qian Ruoyu feel a little nauseous.
But Qian Ruoyu did not say all this, because her attention was all on the braised pork trotters, wanting to know who had tampered with them.
Just after the meal started, a maid walked directly to Qian Ruoyu, lifted up the stack of braised pork trotters on the table, and walked towards Chu Mobai.
"What are you doing?"
Qian Ruoyu said softly.
The maid was naturally shocked by Qian Ruoyu's words, but she immediately stood still and turned around to say to Qian Ruoyu.
"Your Highness, this dish is the prince's favorite. It must be served to the prince before every meal."
It’s really him!
Qian Ruoyu raised her head in surprise and looked at Chu Mobai with extreme astonishment. She had never thought that the target of poisoning this time was actually Chu Mobai!
When Chu Mobai saw Qian Ruoyu's eyes, he didn't care at all.
The maid found that Qian Ruoyu didn't say much, so she went straight to Qian Ruoyu with the braised pork trotters.
It was at this moment that some past memories emerged in Qian Ruoyu's memory.
Chu Mobai has indeed loved braised pork trotters since he was a child. For a special reason, it seems that every time there is braised pork trotters, it is because of Chu Mobai.
No matter where Chu Mobai visits as a guest, there will always be a dish of braised pork's trotters on the table to entertain this prince Chu Mobai.
After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu shook her head and looked at Chu Mobai again. Chu Mobai also looked over.
Although Chu Mobai didn't know why Qian Ruoyu was looking at him so strangely, he had already picked up the chopsticks and spoke to the two of them at the same time.
"eat."
After all, he was the male owner of the palace, so as soon as Chu Mobai finished speaking, it meant that the meal had begun.
Li Zhiyi was not in a very good mood at the moment because she had to apologize to Qian Ruoyu. Instead, she looked listless and looked around as if she didn't want to eat.
But Qian Ruoyu watched Chu Mobai pick up a piece of pig's trotter and prepare to put it in his mouth.
Qian Ruoyu, who saw this scene, said hurriedly.
"stop!"
But Chu Mobai ignored her. He just glanced at Qian Ruoyu and was still ready to bite off the pig's trotter.
But Qian Ruoyu frowned, picked up the small saucer at hand and threw it towards Chu Mobai!
"Don't eat it! There's poison in the pig's trotter. If you eat it, you'll be poisoned!"
The small dish flew in the direction of Chu Mobai.
