Upon arriving in Yamato, Yanluo was extremely cautious, always tasting the food the prince, princess, and little princess ate first.
She is a doctor, and therefore more sensitive to poisons than the average person.
The food didn't change color when I picked it up with the silver chopsticks, and it didn't smell particularly special. But as soon as I put the food in my mouth, I realized something was wrong.
Yanluo spat out the food, took out a medicine bottle, and swallowed an antidote pill.
Su Ruojin's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly took Yanluo's pulse, fearing that Yanluo had been poisoned by some strange poison, just like Deyi Kangren.
Fortunately, after taking the antidote, Yanluo's pulse returned to normal.
Although the poison in the dish was unknown at the moment, the antidote pills from Tianyi Pavilion could cure it, so it seemed to be nothing unusual.
and......
Su Ruojin glanced at Nian'er's bulging little back fur, which was moving slightly.
Mao Mao was clearly still fast asleep, so it didn't seem to be anything particularly poisonous, as Mao Mao didn't even bother with it.
Su Ruojin's eyes were cold. "They won't give up until they achieve their goal."
Moreover, their abilities are greater than they imagined; they have people not only in the shogunate but also in their villas.
"Hu Qing, go and take a look!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yanchu's words, Hu Qing understood that the prince was worried about the others in the villa, and immediately rushed out.
A short while later, Hu Qing returned. "Your Highness, everyone else is fine."
"Looks like it's just targeting me."
Having witnessed the previous assassination attempt and now the poisoning of her food, Su Ruojin was even more certain that her opponent wanted her dead.
She had only just arrived in Yamato and had already made enemies, so there could only be one reason why the other party would attack her.
I don't want her to cure Deyi Kangren!
"Your Highness, let's start cooking for ourselves tomorrow," Yanluo said, still a little scared.
What if the little princess eats this?
Su Ruojin nodded. "Okay."
The other party was only targeting her; Yanluo only needed to prepare dinner for the few of them, so it was alright.
Although there are some minor issues, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
"Your Highness, should we tell Deyi Kangren about this?" Shen Yu asked.
Since this incident occurred at the shogunate's villa, it would be more convenient for Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's men to investigate.
Xiao Yanchu shook his head. "The other party must have expected that we would tell Deyi Kangren about this and have him send someone to investigate."
The fact that they still dared to act under these circumstances proves they are not afraid of being investigated at all, suggesting that most of the evidence has already been destroyed.
Since we can't find anything, why alert them?
“That’s right. They’ve failed this time, so they’ll definitely strike again. That way, we can follow the clues and catch the mastermind behind it all!” Su Ruojin added.
The next day.
Su Ruojin, Xiao Yanchu and their group took Nian Nian to explore Chigen City.
Before the group could even leave, a maid came to report.
The Emperor requests your presence.
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance, wondering why the Emperor of Yamato had come looking for them.
However, they didn't say much and followed the people sent by the emperor to the imperial palace.
Upon entering the room, one could see a figure sitting behind a bamboo curtain.
I imagine that behind the bamboo curtain lies the Emperor of Yamato.
The two bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Your Highness and Princess Consort are indeed dignified and imposing. You must be tired from your long journey. Please have a seat."
Hearing the voice coming from behind the curtain, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin exchanged a glance.
The other person deliberately lowered their voice, but it was still clear that the voice belonged to a young person, probably no more than twenty years old.
