As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a "bang". The sound was so vigorous and powerful!
The token in his hand became a hot potato.
He almost knelt down and raised the token high in front of Baili Feiyue.
The faces of the people around him became stiff for a moment, and then turned pale.
The young man's eyes suddenly widened. Only Ximo and Murong Zheng, who were in the private room upstairs, looked at the hall below with a hint of surprise and amusement in their eyes.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Regent!"
No matter how reluctant you are, who dares to say a word after the Regent's token is handed over?
How could they be so blind!
Rumor has it that Miss Ling San apparently likes to eat at Zuixianju!
She had solved several troubles for Zuixianju here, and even dared to chop off the arm of the foreign historian. It was fine if they were blind, but their hearts and brains were also blinded by lard.
I didn't recognize him, but I didn't even suspect him!
He then quietly glanced at the indifferent woman and gritted his teeth secretly.
The way she is dressed, she doesn't look like the famous Third Miss Ling at all, nor does she look like the future regent princess.
She dressed so simply and elegantly, was she doing it on purpose?
"Hey, the brother-in-law of Concubine Wen, you won't kneel?" Baili Feiyue raised the token in her hand, blinked her watery black eyes and asked in confusion. She looked as innocent as possible, as if she was completely unaware of the fact that she had caused the person to kneel on the ground.
In the eyes of that young man, this was extremely arrogant and too dazzling!
The young man's face turned red, and his expression of humiliation was obvious.
It's not like he hadn't heard of Miss Ling San, the future regent princess. But in the end, she was just a woman. She wasn't married yet! If she wasn't married, she would be a concubine's daughter in a general's mansion. He was a legitimate relative of the emperor.
In terms of status, he may not be lower than her!
Besides, she is just a woman!
Women are born inferior to men!
Even if he had the regent's token, asking him to kneel down and kowtow was a complete insult!
Insults were not what he hated the most. He really didn't expect that someone like Cheng Yaojin would pop up and ruin his plans!
Originally, he had no grudges against Miss Ling San.
but!
It’s a different matter if it ruins his good deeds!
He has done it all, and now he won't forgive anyone who ruins his good deeds!
However, he also understood. No matter how the token in this woman's hand was obtained. As long as it was real, in this Dajing, he would not kneel when he saw the Regent's order, unless he wanted to die.
No matter how the playboy acted, he was a man who grew up in the imperial city and knew how powerful he was. He could only hold back his anger and kneel down with a bang. His lowered eyes were filled with hatred. He would definitely make this woman who ruined his plans pay the price for what she did today!
"Hey, sir, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Get up, everyone, get up quickly!"
Upon seeing the man kneeling with difficulty, Baili Feiyue immediately stuffed the token back into his arms with an anxious look as if it were really true, walked up to him very friendly, and pretended to help him up.
"It was just my luck. I saw you bring out Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen is of noble status. Wouldn't this scare the café? Since I have already asked for help, I have no choice but to bring out the token. I'm sure you understand and won't mind, right?"
The man was shaking all over and was suffering from internal injuries.
Baili Feiyue had already achieved her goal of tying herself and Changsun Wuji more tightly together, and she had no interest in the toy in front of her.
Ru Shui's agile eyes turned to the two trembling yamen runners, and she narrowed her eyes, "My two lords, please get up quickly. I don't mean to ask you to kneel down. As for me, I like the food at Zuixianju, and I encountered such a thing today. I also happen to know some medical skills, so I took action to deal with it."
His eyes moved lightly, "Please do what you need to do, find out the truth and tell everyone."
What else can the two say?
"Don't worry Miss Ling San, we will handle this impartially." How could he dare to be worthy of her calling him 'Sir'!
A farce of eating dead people ended because the yamen runners resolutely ordered people to carry the body away for inspection. The brother-in-law of Concubine Wen looked at Baili Feiyue deeply, and the resentment in his eyes flashed away, and he left with a wave of his sleeves.
Baili Feiyue shrugged and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I have verified it before. There is nothing wrong with your eating utensils. The dead person was originally poisoned long ago, but there is an incubation period. It just so happened that he came to your Zuixianju to eat today and the poison took effect."
He sighed again, "You guys at Zuixianju are really unlucky."
He smiled again, "But delicious food is delicious, and doing business with conscience is doing business with conscience. No matter how people try to frame you, I still like to eat your food. Now, pack me a few of your best snacks, I will take them back later."
After she said this, the diners who were originally a little skeptical suddenly understood.
Indeed, Zuixianju has been open for more than ten years, but I have never heard of eating dead people. They are doing so well, there is no reason for them to seek death and destroy their own reputation.
Third Miss Ling's medical and poison skills are top-notch.
She said it's okay, so it must be okay.
She said that the man had been poisoned in the first place, so there was no way he could escape the poison!
It is unknown whether the person who claimed to be Concubine Wen’s brother-in-law was real or not.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the balance in their hearts has already tilted towards Zuixianju.
The fear of eating subsided again.
Baili Feiyue's eyes turned imperceptibly and she clapped her hands, "Let's go, Suyi, let's go upstairs and continue eating."
After going upstairs and returning to the room, I was met with Ximo's leisurely and interested gaze.
He glanced at her arms where she had placed the token, like a scoundrel. "When did you steal it?"
"Couldn't he have given it to me?"
Ximo exposed her bluntly, "I have also inquired a little about the Regent King of Dajing. Can he give you a token that is related to his life and property?"
Baili Feiyue raised an eyebrow, "What if he sends me?"
"I'll let you kick my head like a ball."
"Tsk," Baili Feiyue said with disgust, "I'm not interested in blood."
However, I have to say that Ximo is really perceptive.
This thing was definitely not given to her by Changsun Wuji.
She and Changsun Wuji must be in the same boat now.
Before, Changsun Wuji had touched her people, and although she restrained herself because of his life-saving grace, she had already said that she would take some interest!
Since she had to suffer the backstabbing and assassination of the future regent princess, why couldn't she enjoy the treatment of the future regent princess?
She is not stupid!
Of course, we should use this kind of thing!
There is no need to feel guilty about it. Her status as the future regent princess should not bring her all troubles, she has to accept the benefits too!
