But Chu Mobai was not thinking about this matter in his heart.

Instead, it’s the number of pig’s trotters!

Because in Chu Mobai's eyes, he only saw five pig's trotters, one of which had been bitten by him.

That's why Chu Mobai asked immediately.

"If there are six pig's trotters, why are there only five on it?"

When Butler Wang heard this, he hurried over and found that there were only five pig's trotters in the plate.

When Qian Ruoyu heard this, he immediately thought, Oh no!

Because one of the pig's trotters was bitten off by Qian Ruoyu, and he only took a bite and threw it into the next room.

If he was really asked about it, I'm afraid Butler Wang would immediately send someone to the side room. If they really found the pig's trotter, it would be a big trouble.

But next, Chu Mobai really said.

"If that's the case, then there's another pig's trotter missing. Where did it go?"

Butler Wang said immediately in a hurry.

"Please give me some time, Your Majesty. I will search the palace immediately. I must find the pig's trotter within an hour!"

Chu Mobai nodded.

He thought that if he could really find the pig's trotter, then there might be hope of solving the case. Then the person who poisoned the pig would be able to reveal whether it was Qian Ruoyu.

But at this moment, Qian Ruoyu suddenly spoke.

"No need to look for it, the other pig's trotter is in the side room."

Qian Ruoyu spoke first, just wanting to be honest.

Because no matter what, the room next door is the easiest place to find pig's trotters, and it doesn't take an hour at all.

When the pig's trotters are found, people will blame me, so it would be better for Qian Ruoyu to admit it first.

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's admission, Chu Mobai looked over immediately.

Li Zhiyi took the opportunity to speak.

"Your Highness, look! It's really my sister... If not, why would my sister eat a pig's trotter? This means that my sister must be related to this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang and the two servants beside him were ready to take Qian Ruoyu down directly.

After all, Butler Wang does have some good eyesight.

They were just waiting for Chu Mobai's order and would take action immediately.

Chu Mobai looked over, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he was judging Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu was also extremely unhappy with his look, but Chu Mobai questioned coldly.

"Tell me what happened yourself."

Qian Ruoyu replied.

"I've already said that I came here early today because I was a little hungry. When I saw that the pig's trotter was fine, I went in to eat it. But after just one bite, I found that there was something wrong with the trotter."

"I immediately spat out the pig's trotter and took out the antidote my mother prepared for me. It took me nearly half an hour to recover. The pig's trotter is now in the corner of the room!"

Qian Ruoyu told everything without hesitation.

But she also knew that whether Chu Mobai in front of her believed in her was still an unknown.

After hearing this, Chu Mobai said to Butler Wang.

"Butler Wang."

With just three words, Butler Wang immediately nodded and ran into the next room.

Not long after, Butler Wang took out a pig's trotter from the fragrant mango and put it in his sleeve.

Butler Wang didn't dare put the pig's trotters on his own hands, for fear that he would be poisoned.

After seeing the bitten pig's trotter, Chu Mobai realized that Qian Ruoyu was indeed not lying.

But the truth behind this matter is getting more and more serious.

Chu Mobai's gaze turned to Qian Ruoyu again, which made Qian Ruoyu feel numb, because that was the look of a murderous god!

After all, Chu Mobai had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his gaze had long been condensed and extremely sharp. Just a glance at Qian Ruoyu made Qian Ruoyu feel a little uneasy.

But Qian Ruoyu was fearless in her heart, after all, it was not she who poisoned the person.

"Look, I'm useless. I've already said it before. This matter has nothing to do with me. If you want to investigate, why don't you send your people to investigate!"

"There's no use wasting your time on me."

Listening to Qian Ruoyu's words, Chu Mobai sneered.

However, Li Zhiyi did not intend to let Qian Ruoyu go.

After all, this is a rare opportunity. If one can use this incident to frame Qian Ruoyu, it will have an impact on Qian Ruoyu, or even completely send Qian Ruoyu to the "cold palace".

Then Li Zhiyi can stay well with Chu Mobai.

Although Li Zhiyi is just a white lotus, she is not a fool.

"Your Highness, I think this matter must be related to my sister. We should arrest my sister and put her in jail first!"

"If it's already like this, and there's still no way to put my sister in jail for interrogation, it will be hard to convince everyone then..."

"Besides, whether it's the cooks or the servants in the mansion, they have all been cooking for you, Your Majesty, for more than ten years. They are just like our family members... and my sister has only been an apprentice for a few days. In comparison, don't you trust them?"

At this time, Li Zhiyi was eloquent and her logic was extremely clear. There was no mistake at all, which made Chu Mobai gradually begin to believe in her words.

Seeing that Chu Mobai was already somewhat shaken, Li Zhiyi immediately added fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, if you do not trust these servants and trust a sister who has just been here for a few days, I am afraid that this will make everyone in the palace feel disappointed..."

"Of course, sister, I don't doubt that it was your sister who did it, and I don't doubt that it was your sister who poisoned me, but your sister is the most suspicious. It's better to put your sister in jail first!"

Li Zhiyi kept sending Qian Ruoyu to jail, and she even wanted to execute him immediately.

But Qian Ruoyu was calm.

Qian Ruoyu then loosened his hands and dropped them to his sides, looking as if he was surrendering.

"Catch me if you want. You don't want me to stay in your palace anyway!"

"It would be best to take me to the Dali Temple, or to that Jingzhao Yin, and let them interrogate me, let them torture me! If you can get any information from me about the poisoning, I will thank your ancestors for eight generations!"

Qian Ruoyu's tone was extremely calm, and she didn't look like the kind of murderer who would poison someone. This immediately caused Chu Mobai to have a hint of suspicion.

But after all, Qian Ruoyu is the most suspicious, so Chu Mobai spoke immediately.

"No need to take her to jail, take the princess back to Yueya Pavilion immediately!"

Butler Wang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then ordered the servants beside him to take Qian Ruoyu back to Yueya Pavilion.
