Chapter 401 Poison Testing
Traveling is a very boring thing.
Xiao Xixi missed her storybooks very, very much, but she lived under the prince's watchful eyes every day and had no chance to read them at all.
Her scripts are still kept by the eldest prince Luo Yechen.
When leaving the palace, Eunuch Chang counted all the luggage and found an extra box in the eldest prince's luggage.
So he went to ask the eldest prince in person, wanting to know what was in the box.
Luo Yechen pretended not to care and said casually: "These are some books I asked someone to buy. What? Do you even want to control what books I read?"
Eunuch Chang said hurriedly, "No, no, no, that's not my intention. I just want to find out the origin of this suitcase, so as to avoid making a mistake and causing any loss to the eldest prince."
Since he knew that the box contained books, Eunuch Chang did not ask for specific details.
He had the box of books and the eldest prince's other luggage loaded onto the carriage.
When Luo Yechen was bored, he would take out a storybook from the box and read it to pass the time.
Because Xiao Xixi had already classified the storybooks, he didn't dare touch those strange ones anymore.
What he was reading now were relatively normal storybooks, in which the main characters were a man and a woman, and both were human beings!
Xiao Xixi expressed strong envy and jealousy towards this.
She also wants to read the storybook!
As the snow fell heavier, the mountain road ahead was frozen, and the carriage slipped severely on it, so the prince's carriage had to take a detour.
This detour forced them to deviate from the official road.
The road went further and further away, and until it was almost dark, they did not see the post station. Instead, they came across a temple called Jingxin Temple on the side of the road.
The person who opened the door was a pretty little nun.
She saw many strangers standing outside and became very scared.
After Xiao Lingfeng explained his identity and purpose, the little nun whispered, "Please wait a moment. I'll go ask Master."
She closed the door and left.
Not long after, the gate opened again, and this time not only the young nun came out, but also an old nun and four young nuns.
The old nun is the abbess of this temple.
She walked out of the door with a group of young nuns, greeted the prince, and respectfully welcomed him inside to rest.
Xiao Xixi followed the prince out of the carriage.
She looked at the nuns in front of her and couldn't help but stop.
Luo Qinghan noticed her strangeness, turned his head to look at her, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xixi whispered in his ear.
"There's something wrong with these nuns."
Luo Qinghan did not ask what was wrong specifically. He just responded indifferently, indicating that he knew it, and then walked into Jingxin Temple without looking around, as if he knew nothing.
Xiao Xixi followed closely and walked in.
The eldest prince Luo Yechen was also stunned when he saw those nuns.
He didn't notice anything unusual; he simply thought these nuns were so beautiful.
Putting aside the old abbot, the young nuns each have their own charm. Even without makeup, they are still beautiful enough to catch people's eyes.
Luo Yechen couldn't help feeling a little itchy.
He has been reading storybooks every day recently, and he has been so angry that he has no place to vent it, and he is almost going crazy.
This is why he couldn't help but have fantasies when he saw the nuns.
He smiled at the young and beautiful nuns, causing them to blush and not dare to look him in the eye.
Seeing this, Luo Yechen felt even more itchy.
The teacher turned a blind eye to this, and only after the eldest prince entered the nunnery did she bow to the others.
"I'm sorry, but there are not enough rooms in the nunnery to accommodate all of you. I'll ask you to stay outside for the night. I'll have someone bring you hot soup and food later."
Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng returned the greeting to express their gratitude.
The area of this nunnery is very small. In order to entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the teacher specially vacated the room where she lived.
Xiao Xixi asked, "We have taken over your room, so where are you staying tonight?"
The teacher smiled and said, "I plan to stay with the disciples for one night. They have a dormitory, so adding one more person won't be a problem."
"Where does the eldest prince live?"
The teacher patiently introduced, "The eldest prince lives in the guest room opposite. It is the only guest room in Jingxin Nunnery. If there are pilgrims in the nunnery, they will be arranged to rest there. That room is a little smaller than this one, just right for the eldest prince to live in."
Xiao Xixi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master."
"Your Highness, please don't be polite. It is my lifelong honor to entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness."
The teacher put her hands together and bowed.
"My two distinguished guests, please take a rest. I will have someone prepare some hot water and vegetarian food. Bye."
After seeing the nun off, Xiao Xixi closed the door, turned to look at the prince, and spoke in a low voice.
"I just did a fortune-telling in my mind, there is something wrong with this nunnery!"
Luo Qinghan: "Well, I can see that these nuns don't look like real nuns. They are probably pretending to be nuns."
Xiao Xixi: "Are they coming for you?"
Luo Qinghan: "I can't be sure yet, let's observe and see."
"Um."
Soon, two nuns brought hot vegetarian meals.
After putting down the vegetarian meal, they quietly retreated without saying anything extra or doing anything extra.
Xiao Xixi looked at the vegetarian meal in front of her and felt extremely greedy.
Although this place is very remote, the vegetarian food here is very fragrant, and just smelling it makes people drool.
She picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let me try the poison first."
Luo Qinghan stopped her. He took out a silver needle to test the poison first. After making sure that there was no deadly poison in the dish, he let Xiao Xixi pick up her chopsticks.
Xiao Xixi said as she ate: "Actually, you don't have to be so careful. Even if the food is poisonous, it won't kill me. At most, it will just make me feel uncomfortable for a few days."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Better safe than sorry."
Xiao Xixi tried every dish on the table and felt them carefully.
"I don't feel anything. Is it because my sensitivity to poison is too low that I can't feel the effects of the drug?"
She can now be sure that there is no deadly poison in these dishes, but she cannot be sure whether there are other drugs in these dishes, such as drugs or aphrodisiacs.
Luo Qinghan: "If you want to know whether the food has been drugged, just wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?"
"We'll know the result after the eldest prince on the other side finishes his meal."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Are you using the eldest prince as a guinea pig?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly, "He does nothing all day long and is of no use at all. We must make him useful, otherwise he will become a waste."
Xiao Xixi silently lit a row of candles for the good-for-nothing prince.
Good luck to you!
It's getting late. Let's go to bed. Good night.
