Chapter 309 The Princess Wants to Show Off Herself 5
The next morning, Mingnan went to the side hall to have a meal. Just as he sat down, Du Yao came in, supporting the sick Lu Feiyu.
Danzhu served Mingnan a bowl of porridge. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked back. "My husband is here."
Lu Fei smiled at her weakly.
He was born with great beauty, with fair skin and fair bones, whiter than frost and snow, and his eyebrows and eyes were deep and vivid, as if outlined in a painting.
At this moment, he seemed a little sick, with watery eyes, and looked fragile and pitiful.
Danzhu felt a little uncomfortable when he smiled like that, and quickly turned his eyes away.
"Your Highness, would you like to give your husband an extra pair of chopsticks?"
Mingnan was stirring the porridge slowly with a spoon. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Feiyu.
Lu Feiyu's eyes immediately showed a hint of anticipation, "Feiyu greets His Highness."
"Sit down."
Seeing him like this, Mingnan finally understood why the original owner liked him.
Such a handsome young man, his heart and eyes are full of you, he plays the piano and chats with you every day, who wouldn't like him?
Unfortunately, this tenderness is mixed with poison and hides a knife. If you are not careful, it will cut people all over the body and make them die with their eyes open.
She won't make the same mistake again.
Lu Feiyu didn't know what she was thinking, but when he saw that she allowed him to sit down, he thought she was worried about him and was secretly happy.
He just said, how can the person who wanted to pick stars and moon for him in the previous life just say he doesn’t like something?
Something must have happened to make her unhappy.
However, one should not talk while eating or sleeping, so he decided to wait until after dinner to ask.
Unexpectedly, after the meal, Mingnan did not give him a chance to ask, but asked directly: "Why did you suddenly become so seriously ill?"
Lu Feiyu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Du Yao, pretending to be embarrassed.
Du Yao understood and immediately stepped forward, kneeling on one knee and said, "Your Highness, my husband is not sick for no reason. He drank a bowl of red date sweet soup sent by Mr. Liu and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Half an hour later, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted. The imperial physician came to see him and said that he was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Ming Nan sneered with an ambiguous tone, "You have schemed against me right under my nose. Are you going to poison me to death next time?"
Hearing this, Lu Feiyu quickly stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, please calm down, cough cough cough..."
He covered his lips and started coughing again.
Mingnan glanced at him and said, "Sit down."
"Biqing——"
"The servant is here."
"Go and call Mr. Liu to me. I want to see who gave him the courage."
"yes!"
Biqing retreated hurriedly.
Du Yao helped Lu Feiyu to sit down, and the master and servant exchanged glances.
This self-torture tactic was not in vain in the end.
Soon, the legendary Mr. Liu arrived.
Mr. Liu was wearing a thin pink shirt and was very handsome. He stood there like a peach on a branch and kept giving her flirtatious glances.
It looks good, but it's a little too feminine.
Mingnan's expression couldn't help but become a little complicated.
[Tsk, it's a bit eye-catching. ]
205: [I feel like she's the type who would do a little fingering in bed, hehe~]
Mingnan got goosebumps all over his body because of what it said, [Shut up! ]
"The maid Liu greets His Highness. May Your Highness be well."
"No thanks." Mingnan raised his chin. "Lu Cefu vomited blood and fainted. The imperial physician said it was poisoning. Before that, he had only drunk the sweet soup you sent him. How do you explain it?"
Liu Fulang was startled and immediately looked at Lu Feiyu.
Lu Feiyu didn't look at him, but just covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly.
"Your Highness asked a question, didn't your husband hear it? Why didn't you answer?" Danzhu scolded.
"I am innocent, Your Highness!"
Mr. Liu knelt down, his eyes immediately reddened, "Although I sent the sweet soup, it was not made by me. The sweet soup was made by the kitchen. I heard that the side husband was favored, so I wanted to get closer to him, so I sent it to him personally. I would never dare to poison him!"
Mr. Liu knelt forward, reached out to grab Mingnan's skirt, and looked at her miserably, "Your Highness, you must believe me! And, and..."
His eyes rolled around anxiously, and suddenly he remembered something. He said loudly, "If I really wanted to harm him, why would I send him there in person? Wouldn't that be admitting guilt?"
Danzhu also said: "Your Highness, Mr. Liu's words make sense."
Mingnan said nothing, rubbing the jade token on his waist with his fingertips. "Biqing, go tell them to arrest all the people who were on duty in the kitchen yesterday and interrogate them separately. Also, don't let anyone who entered and left the kitchen before Liu go, no matter who they are."
"As you command."
Just as Biqing was about to leave, Mingnan said, "Mr. Liu is still under suspicion, so stay in the dungeon for two days. When he is cleared of suspicion, he can come out again."
Danzhu asked: "What if it is not cleaned?"
Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Mingnan in fear, "Your Highness..."
Mingnan lowered his eyes and looked at him, smiling slightly, his tone was gentle, but his words were extremely cruel, "The flowers and grass in my backyard are overgrown, it's time to sort them out. If he is not cleared, it proves that he has the intention to kill. Although he did not succeed, he cannot be condoned. Give him fifty strokes of the cane, drive him out of the house, and let him die on his own."
Dan Zhu looked at Liu Fulang with pity and indifference, then nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
She clapped her hands and called out, "Someone come——"
Two tall female guards came in quickly and dragged Mr. Liu away. No matter how he cried and begged for mercy, Mingnan did not show any mercy.
Lu Feiyu stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different about Mingnan.
"Lu Sifu."
Lu Feiyu was suddenly called, startled, and stood up subconsciously, "Here."
Mingnan took the tea handed to him by Danzhu and casually wiped the foam with the tea lid.
"You were not in good health to begin with, and now you have been poisoned and have not recovered yet. It is too tiring to run back and forth every day. From tomorrow on, you can eat in your own yard."
Lu Feiyu's expression changed suddenly.
If he is not allowed to come, will he still have the chance to see her?
"Your Highness—"
"Oh, there is one more thing." Mingnan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Before there was no legal husband in the mansion, you were the highest in rank and you were in charge of the salary. It was really hard for you, but fortunately the legal wife has been chosen. When he enters the mansion in the future, all the trivial matters will be handed over to him, so you can take a break."
At first glance, this may sound like it's for his own good, but in reality it's going to deprive him of his last bit of power.
Lu Feiyu's face turned pale instantly. Before he could say something else, Mingnan had already stood up and walked out.
This shouldn't be the case. How could she do this to him?
Unless...Unless...
Instantly, a light bulb flashed in his head, like the sun coming out of the clouds, and Lu Feiyu blurted out, "Your Highness, are you also——"
Reborn?
Fortunately, at the critical moment, his reason returned and he swallowed back the rest of his words.
Mingnan stopped at the door and looked back, staring at him deeply, "What?"
