Chapter 139 Is This a First Kiss?

When Qiu Kui heard that the eldest prince was coming, his originally dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Xiao Jinyan stared at Qiu Kui for a while, then ordered Wei Chi: "Take her away."

Wei Chi was very strong and was not the kind of person who would be gentle with women. He picked up Qiu Kui with his big hands and dragged her out of the interrogation room.

As soon as they left, Xiao Yunxuan walked in and glanced around the interrogation room. He only saw Xiao Jinyan sitting at the desk and had no idea how the interrogation was going.

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked coldly at Xiao Yunxuan who came uninvited, "Why are you here, brother?"

Xiao Yunxuan said, "I heard that the person who poisoned the prince has been caught. I came to see who is so bold as to murder the prince."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly, "It was a palace maid named Qiu Kui. She has been interrogated and there will be a result soon."

When Xiao Yunxuan heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. If Qiu Kui gave him away, then it would be the end of him.

"The prince is really quick. He caught the person who poisoned the person so quickly. People with evil intentions must be severely punished."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xiao Yunxuan coldly. He heard everything that Xiao Yunxuan was thinking just now.

He knew that Xiao Yunxuan was impatient, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient. It had only been short time since Concubine Yu was sent to the cold palace, but he was eager to take action at the family dinner on New Year's Eve.

We failed to bring Xiao Yunxuan to justice last time, but we will definitely not let him go this time.

"Brother is right. When I find out who is behind this, I will report it to my father and punish him severely."

"Of course." Xiao Yunxuan felt extremely guilty in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After Xiao Yunxuan left, when Xiao Jinyan asked Qiu Kui again, Qiu Kui insisted that she was dissatisfied with the prince's behavior and that's why she wanted to poison him.

He then handed the interrogation over to Wei Chi.

Today is New Year's Eve, and due to an unexpected incident we were forced to end our family dinner early.

Shen Chuwei slept for an hour and woke up because she was hungry. She sighed, "It's a pity for the crab. It's still missed even after it died."

Chunxi was still observing the New Year's Eve. When she heard her mistress sighing, she lay on the head of the bed and stared at Shen Chuwei nervously.

"My lady, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Would you like me to ask Dr. Wen Yu to come over?"

Shen Chuwei touched her stomach and suggested, "Chunxi, let's make hot pot."

Chunxi said seriously: "My lady, let's take care of our bodies first. We will have plenty of opportunities to eat hot pot later."

Shen Chuwei said, "Isn't my poison cured? I'm fine now. I'll stay with you guys to celebrate the New Year. It's a good time to make some hot pot."

Chunxi exposed her true thoughts without giving her face, "You are not celebrating the New Year, but you really want to eat hot pot."

Shen Chuweisi didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's all the same."

Chunxi said, "You can't eat hot pot either. I can make something else for you."

"My mouth smells bitter from Chinese medicine. Eating hot pot can cover up the bitter taste."

"How about I give you a piece of pastry?"

"What time is it now? Do you still want to eat a bite of pastry?"

Shen Chuwei and Chunxi looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Xiao Jinyan walking in with great strides. He was still wearing the elaborate and grand formal dress he wore for the New Year's Eve family dinner. He looked like someone who had walked out of a painting, dignified and abstinent.

As soon as Xiao Jinyan walked in, he heard Chunxi was about to give a piece of pastry to Shen Chuwei. Being a self-disciplined person, he naturally had to give her a lecture.

Chunxi called His Highness over, bowed, and then left.

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, I don't want to eat a bite of pastry now, I want hot pot."

She just saved Xiao Jinyan again, so it’s not too much to have a hotpot with her, right?

Xiao Jinyan lifted his clothes and sat down on the bed, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, her face was still a little pale. The poison was harmful to the body, and even if the poison was cured, it would take time to recuperate.

"It won't be too late to eat it after you've recovered."

Shen Chu retreated slightly and asked for the next best thing: "Is it okay for my concubine to eat fried rice with eggs?"

"Fried rice with egg?" It was the first time that Xiao Jinyan heard it.

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "There should be some leftovers in the small kitchen, would you like to eat, Your Highness?"

When Xiao Jinyan heard about leftovers, his brows furrowed, "Why use leftovers? Just let Chunxi cook it again."

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Then listen to Your Highness. The leftovers can be fed to the chickens and ducklings tomorrow. It won't be a waste."

Only now did Xiao Jinyan realize that she used the leftovers to avoid wasting them. If it were someone else, they would be very disgusted to eat leftovers.

Xiao Jinyan asked Chunxi to make fried rice with egg.

Chunxi was not the first to make fried rice with eggs. Knowing Shen Chuwei's preferences, she took some bacon and picked some fresh green vegetables.

If you cook the rice in advance, it will be quick to stir-fry.

After a while, the fragrant egg fried rice was served on the table, along with two side dishes.

Chunxi took a small bowl and served one bowl to each of the two masters.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the steaming egg fried rice in front of him, which contained diced bacon, green vegetables, and other ingredients he didn't recognize.

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, and seeing that she was eating with great relish, he picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful into his mouth, and chewed slowly. The taste was unexpectedly good.

He only drank two sips of wine and ate some food at the family dinner on New Year's Eve, and was hungry by then.

Shen Chuwei took two bites and looked up at Xiao Jinyan. He ate in an elegant and noble manner, which was also pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness, how does it taste?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded and praised: "Not bad, but a little dry."

Shen Chuwei turned his head and looked at Chunxi: "Make two cups of fresh tea and bring them here."

Chunxi stepped out after hearing this. After a while, he brought two cups of fresh tea and placed them in front of Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyan, then stepped aside and waited.

Xiao Jinyan ate a few bites of egg fried rice, then picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips to cool it down, took two sips of tea, and then continued eating.

After Shen Chuwei had eaten her fill, she rubbed her bulging stomach with satisfaction. However, she still felt itchy in her heart because she didn't have the hot pot.

The traditional way of staying up late is to stay awake until dawn.

Shen Chuwei couldn't hold it in. She looked up at Xiao Jinyan sitting opposite her. It was probably his first time eating egg fried rice, and he hadn't had any water for several hours. At this moment, he was holding the teacup and drinking leisurely.

I wonder if Sammi Hsiao will keep silent about the New Year?

"The person who poisoned has been caught, but he has refused to reveal the mastermind behind the incident." The reason why Xiao Jinyan did not torture him to extract a confession was because he did not want Xiao Yunxuan to say that he had confessed under torture.

Shen Chuwei also wanted to know who wanted to poison Xiao Jinyan. After all, Xiao Jinyan's safety was also related to her safety.

But then again, being a crown prince is also a high-risk job, and there are many people who want to kill him.

"Don't worry, I have a way to make him confess." Shen Chuwei risked her life to save him, so how could he miss this opportunity?

"I believe in your ability."

Shen Chuwei was feeling a little sleepy at this moment, but since Xiao Jinyan didn't want to sleep or leave, she didn't dare to sleep openly.

Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at her, "Xiaojiu, come here."

Shen Chuwei leaned on the bed and approached Xiao Jinyan with doubt. Looking at the handsome face so close to her, she blushed slightly.

Xiao Jinyan lifted her chin with his slender fingers and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
