Oh my God, this special treatment made Xu Moer very happy.

The soup was really rich and fragrant, golden in color, and looked delicious.

The soup is softer and has a great texture and taste.

It’s nice to be rich.

It’s great to be powerful.

How can ordinary people eat things from the deep sea?

"This is something so precious, normally only my eldest brother can eat it, right?"

"Yes, this is a gift from the Queen Mother to your Highness for your health, but your Highness said that you should try it first."

Xu Moer's cheeks turned red when she heard this.

In the whole mansion, only she and Chu Li could afford to eat.

It is enough to show her specialness in Chu Li's heart.

Maybe... there's no need to test today, she was just overthinking.

Forget it, now that everything is ready, I still have to go to Prince Gong’s Mansion.

She was still very grateful to Ruan Xinchen. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet her, she wouldn't know how many twists and turns she would have taken before finding her.

…

"Miss, the county lord of the Zhan Palace is here again."

Counting the days, it's almost time for her to come.

This person is just lonely.

"Please come in."

"Why."

Xu Moer looked happy today, her face flushed.

Ruan Xinchen asked with a smile: "Did the county lord encounter a happy event?"

"Ah?" She touched her face and thought, is it so obvious?

"No, nothing. My elder brother just asked someone to make me a bowl of soup today. I don't know what kind of soup it was, but they said it was a gift from the Queen Mother, something from the deep sea. The soup was really delicious."

"Oh? Really? That's really enviable. The emperor may not even get to eat the Queen Mother's things, but His Royal Highness the Prince. The Queen Mother loves her so much that she keeps all the good things for him."

Xu Moer smiled shyly and said, "Yes."

Ruan Xinchen poured her a cup of tea.

Xu Moer thought the soup was delicious, but a little salty, which made her very thirsty.

She drank the cup of tea in one gulp and poured herself another.

Seeing this, Ruan Xinchen asked Caiyu to make another pot of tea.

"By the way, how is my sister doing lately?"

"She? I'm afraid she's not doing well."

"oh?"

"Brother 녊녈 has divorced her."

Ruan Xinchen said calmly, "Really? I heard you say you divorced her a long time ago, but you haven't done so in such a long time."

"Oh, my eldest brother is in a difficult situation. After all, she was a blessing to him. If he divorced her, he was worried that the civil servants would say he was not a good wife, so he kept dragging it out."

As they talked, Xu Moer observed Ruan Xinchen's reaction and asked tentatively, "I heard from her that...it was originally supposed to be you who married into Prince Zhan's mansion to celebrate?"

Um?

Ruan Xinchen raised an eyebrow and immediately understood what she meant.

She admitted it openly.

"Yes, originally she was worried that His Highness the War Prince would not survive, and she didn't want to be a widow, so she wanted me to marry in his place. But later she got inside information that His Highness the War Prince would soon wake up, so she gave up the idea of ​​a replacement marriage."

"Ah?" It really happened.

"Then you...what is your marriage with the prince?"

"The prince and I were engaged ten years ago. It was arranged by the elders in my family. Before the incident with Prince Zhan, this was the best marriage our family could get, so she originally wanted to snatch it away and deceive the Prince Gong's Mansion into getting engaged."

Xu Moer covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Is this a lie?"

"The people who wrote the story are my grandmother and Old Madam Shen. My grandmother passed away many years ago. Old Madam Shen has dementia and sometimes she can't even remember who she is. She has her own ideas, so why not let her make them up?"

Is this...

It seems to make some sense.

"She is so bad."

"Alas!" Ruan Xinchen sighed, "There is no way. I don't have a mother, and my father doesn't support me. What should I do if they bully me?"

Xu Moer listened and felt very sympathetic towards her.

I thought I was overthinking it, and Ruan Yihe said that on purpose to sow discord between us.

While drinking the second pot of tea, Xu Moer suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ruan Xinchen: "What's wrong?"

Xu Moer said awkwardly: "I don't know, my stomach hurts a little, I'm afraid it's my period."

"Caiyu, take the county lord to deal with it."

"yes."

But as soon as Xu Moer stood up, her eyes suddenly rolled back and she fell down.

Caiyu hurried to help her.

"County Lord?"

Ruan Xin stood up suddenly.

Xu Moer was sweating profusely from the pain and could no longer speak.

Ruan Xinchen stepped forward to take her pulse, and after some insistence, his brows furrowed.

Caiyu didn't know yet, so she asked, "Why is the pain so severe during this period, County Master?"

Ruan Xinchen shook her head, "It's not her period, she was poisoned."

"What? Poisoned?"

She subconsciously looked at the freshly brewed tea.

"How could she be poisoned?" She didn't.

But when Xu Moer came to Prince Gong's mansion, she only drank the tea she made.

She is poisoned now, doesn't she have any words to explain herself?

Because she was the one who poisoned him, she was scared to death.

"Miss, what should I do?"

Caiyu was almost crying out of anxiety.

This is a capital crime and might even implicate the young lady.

"Help her onto the couch first," said Ruan Xinchen.

Caiyu nodded, wiped her tears, and helped Xu Moer with Ruan Xinchen.

At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance.

"Quick, arrest everyone."

Ruan Xinchen's expression changed.

Immediately a group of guards rushed in and quickly took them under control.

Ruan Xinchen knew they were Chu Li's people just by looking at their clothes.

So... the person who poisoned Xu Moer was Chu Li?

Maybe put it in the bowl of soup that she said was delicious.

But why did Chu Li do this?

What does he want to do?

As he was thinking, Chu Li appeared.

Ruan Xinchen looked at him resentfully and said sarcastically, "Your Highness the King of War, this play, which he directed and acted in, is really wonderful."

Chu Li walked towards her without saying a word.

Then he took out a packet of medicine powder in front of her.

In front of her, he opened the lid of the teapot and poured the powder into it.

Caiyu widened her eyes in shock.

"This poison... this poison..."

Ruan Xinchen looked at him coldly.

Chu Li said calmly, "Someone from Prince Gong's Mansion poisoned the county lord. Madam, please cooperate and help us find the murderer."

Ruan Xinchen laughed sarcastically and said, "Do you still need my cooperation? It's up to you to decide who the murderer is."

"That's different. If a young lady came forward to accuse someone, this scene would be really exciting."

Ruan Xinchen smiled, "Okay, I was the one who poisoned you, no matter where you go to seek justice, I will always say the same thing."

Chu Li: “…”

He clenched his fist and said coldly, "No, the poison was given by Princess Gong."

"Ha...Princess Gong? Princess Gong poisoned her? Do you think it makes sense? Do you think anyone would believe me if I told them?"

Chu Li stared at her coldly. After a moment, he picked up the teapot, put the spout of the teapot to his own mouth and began to drink.

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

The people around him said, "Your Highness, you can't do that."

“Your Highness…”
