Chu Mobai never expected that Qian Ruoyu would suddenly throw a small plate at him while he was eating.
And they would also shout loudly that pig's trotters are poisonous.
How is this possible?
This is his own prince's palace. Both the personal guards and the chef are his people. How could someone poison his dishes?
If it was the imperial palace or a military tent, it would be fine, but this was his home, so Chu Mobai didn't believe that there would be poison in his pig's trotters.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Mobai finally put down the pig's trotter in his hand and questioned Qian Ruoyu at the same time.
Qian Ruoyu said slightly nervously.
"This pig's trotter is poisonous. I've already warned you. If you insist on eating it, don't blame me if you get poisoned!"
The reason why Qian Ruoyu said this was not because she was concerned about Chu Mobai, but because she really couldn't bear to watch someone fall down from poison in front of her.
This is the original intention of a doctor.
Even if Chu Mobai really encountered an accident, the person who would benefit the most would be Qian Ruoyu.
Qian Ruoyu is the princess of the Night King. If Chu Mobai gets into an accident, Qian Ruoyu will be the only one to inherit all the property of the prince's mansion. At that time, Qian Ruoyu will be able to live a luxurious life alone.
Moreover, he could completely drive Li Zhiyi, the white lotus, out of the palace.
But Qian Ruoyu didn't think about this matter. Instead, she didn't want Chu Mobai to fall down because of poisoning.
However, there was a hint of disgust in Chu Mobai's eyes.
"You said this pig's trotter is poisonous, so it is poisonous?"
Qian Ruoyu nodded very solemnly.
"Yes, pig's trotters are poisonous, absolutely true!"
"How do you know?"
Chu Mobai's five short words almost stumped Qian Ruoyu.
Qian Ruoyu couldn't say that she had tasted the pig's trotter, poisoned it, and saved herself before appearing here, right?
Moreover, Chu Mobai could not say that he had sneaked into the room.
After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu felt a little headache, but after thinking hard, Qian Ruoyu immediately said.
"I have learned some medical skills from my mother since I was a child. My conscience also tells me that if a dish is poisoned, then I can know something by inserting a silver needle. If I don't check Ying Zheng, I can tell whether it is poisoned by looking at his appearance."
Qian Ruoyu once again gave the reason for his medical skills to his mother.
After all, if I really told him that I had a medical laboratory, would Chu Mobai believe me? I'm afraid he would just think I was a fool.
But Qian Ruoyu never expected that the Night King's favorite dish was braised pork trotters.
Chu Mobai naturally looked at Qian Ruoyu with half belief and half doubt, and then gave instructions to the maid beside him.
"Go get the silver needle."
Not long after, Ying Zheng appeared in Chu Mobai's hands. Chu Mobai looked at Qian Ruoyu and said.
"Here is a silver needle. I will use it to test the poison. If it is really poisonous as you said, I will not eat it. If it is not poisonous, what will you do?"
Qian Ruoyu was stunned for a moment.
I kindly reminded him not to eat anything poisonous, but he actually made a bet with me?
This made Qian Ruoyu feel a little confused.
I clearly had good intentions in helping him and reminding him, but I got this kind of response.
Qian Ruoyu rolled her eyes at Chu Mobai and then spoke.
"Whatever you want!"
After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Li Zhiyi on the side immediately said.
"Your Majesty, please tell her...if it's not poisonous, then I don't need to apologize."
Chu Mobai nodded slightly at this time.
"Um."
"If there is no poison in the braised pig's trotter, then Li Zhiyi doesn't need to apologize to you."
When Qian Ruoyu heard this, she immediately became furious!
She didn't expect that this matter was actually because of Li Zhiyi. Every word he said was biased towards Li Zhiyi. Where did this put her, the queen?
But Qian Ruoyu remained silent, and his heart was gradually calming down.
Because Qian Ruoyu knew that the dish must be poisonous, there was no way Li Zhiyi would not apologize to her.
But Qian Ruoyu just couldn't swallow the anger in her heart. It turned out that Chu Mobai's words were just to favor Li Zhiyi.
Finally, Qian Ruoyu nodded and said.
"Okay, as you say!"
Qian Ruoyu had just finished saying this when Chu Mobai immediately inserted the silver needle in his hand into the braised pork trotter.
Just as the silver needle was inserted, color began to appear on the needle, turning from blue to black, and the color continued to deepen.
Chu Mobai's expression was originally normal, but after seeing this change, his eyes gradually began to reveal a fierce look!
He never thought that he, a prince, would be poisoned by someone in his own palace!
Qian Ruoyu didn't say anything. In such a critical moment, Qian Ruoyu was too lazy to tell Chu Mobai anything. I'm afraid Chu Mobai will not favor Li Zhiyi now, right?
Chu Mobai stared at the silver needle in a daze. For a moment, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
Then Chu Mobai pushed away the braised pork trotter in front of him and slammed the chopsticks on the table.
"Call all the cooks!"
"No, bring all the cooks today, all the people in the kitchen, and the people who brought the tribute vegetables to the palace today, all to me! Bring them to the central courtyard of the palace!"
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. After all, Prince Chu Mobai was not poisoned.
But Chu Mobai was already feeling a little upset because of this matter.
This incident happened in his own palace, and the person targeted was himself. How could Chu Mobai let it go?
After hearing this, several servants ran outside.
At this time, Chu Mobai looked directly at Qian Ruoyu, as if he wanted to say something to Qian Ruoyu, but in the end he took his words back.
There was just a hint of pride on Qian Ruoyu's face, because Qian Ruoyu knew that she had saved Chu Mobai again this time, but it was not certain whether Chu Mobai would remember her kindness.
After all, this kind of thing might not only happen this once. A dignified prince of the imperial court would encounter danger more than once. I'm afraid he might not be able to escape danger every time.
After being immersed in it for a while, Chu Mobai finally spoke.
"How do you know there's poison in pig's trotters?"
Chu Mobai's words did not sound like a question, but rather like he was questioning Qian Ruoyu, which made Qian Ruoyu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I learned this through the method my mother taught me."
But the more Qian Ruoyu looked at Chu Mobai's eyes, the more she realized that Chu Mobai's eyes were doubting her!
"You doubt me?"
