Haruka was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to hide anything.

"Back to the young general, the meals are all made by the slave maid, if it is not in line with the taste of the young general and the young princess, the slave and maid will go down and make a new ...... for you."

Chunxiang didn't seem to know anything about the poison in the soup, thinking that Xiao Jingcong was angry because she hated the food she made was not delicious.

Xiao Jingcong's face sank like water, stared at Chunxiang for a moment, and then said in a cold voice.

"Haruka, go, go and see, what's wrong with that bowl of soup you made!"

Hearing this, Chunxiang got up from the ground in a panic, then walked to the table, scooped a bowl of cauliflower soup, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then picked up the spoon and scooped half a spoonful to drink.

Xiao Jingcong saw it and hurriedly reached out to knock it over.

"You really don't know anything?" Xiao Jingcong asked in surprise.

Haruka was so frightened that she put down the bowl of soup in her hand and knelt on the ground again, her eyes already filled with tears.

"Young General, slave maid don't know what you mean? Why didn't you let me taste that bowl of soup? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to speak, Yan Zixi on the side covered her mouth and said with some discomfort on her face.

"Chunxiang, there is poisonous ...... in that cauliflower soup"

Yan Zixi explained weakly, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly walked over, supported Yan Zixi, and asked with a concerned face, "Xi'er, what do you think?" Is it better? ”

"Don't worry, Jing Cong, the toxicity in this soup is not very strong, it has been blocked by my silver needle, and it will not spread for the time being."

Xiao Jingcong relieved her heart at this time, and then with a black face, she stared at the maid Chunxiang who was kneeling in front of her, and scolded sharply.

"Chunxiang, it's come to this point, you still dare to act here with this king?! It seems that if this king doesn't teach you a good lesson, will you confess truthfully? ”

"Major General, spare your life! The young general, spare your life! How could the soup made by the slave maid be poisoned? Certain...... Something must have gone wrong, right? You borrowed a hundred guts from the slave maid, and the slave and maid would never dare to poison your and the princess's meal! ”

Chunxiang's face turned pale with fright, and she kowtowed to Xiao Jingcong with a "knock knock", and vetoed that she had done it.

"Humph! If it wasn't you, who would it be? This meal was made by you, and only you have the opportunity and time to poison the food, do you still want to quibble? ”

"Wronged! Young General, the slave and maid really did not do anything poisoned, the slave and the maid are innocent, and the slave and the maid were wronged! ”

Yan Zixi saw Chunxiang's frightened half-dead appearance, and expected that she would not be so bold and dare to poison the generals and princesses of the General's Mansion.

It seems that there is still something strange about this matter, thinking of this, Yan Zixi begged Chunxiang for mercy.

"Jing Cong, I think Chunxiang was wronged, this poison shouldn't be ......"

"Hmph, even if it's not her, it can't be separated from her!"

Xiao Jingcong made a calm face, looked at Chunxiang again, and asked in a cold voice.

"Chunxiang, this king asks you again, when you were cooking these meals, did anyone go to the kitchen and touch these dishes?"

Haruka knew that this was her last chance, and if she answered incorrectly, she would probably find the wrath of the young general, and it was not impossible to drag him out and behead him directly.

So Chun Xiang carefully recalled, and after thinking about it for a while, Chun Xiang's face showed a trace of despair.

Because she prepared the meals from beginning to end, and no one else passed by during the process, he was the only one who had touched these meals.

When Chunxiang thought of this, tears flowed out, and her heart was half cold.

She threw her head on the ground and shook her head with sobs, "Returning to the young general, the slave is in the back kitchen...... I haven't seen anyone else...... It's a meal prepared by the slave and maid alone......"

"In that case, is there anything else you have to say?" Xiao Jingcong's complexion softened, although his tone still sounded cold, but he also realized that this poison might not have been caused by Chunxiang.

After all, a dying person will never hide it, and will even find other reasons to cover it up.

But Haruka didn't do this, which means that the meal was indeed made by her, but the poison may not have been given by her.

Yan Zixi raised her head and said to Chunxiang: "Chunxiang, you get up first, I know that you are innocent in this matter, and the poisoning has nothing to do with you!" ”

Chunxiang was already ready to die, but Yan Zixi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and this voice sounded like that of Guanyin who rescued the suffering.

Chunxiang raised her head and kowtowed to Yan Zixi with tears streaming down her face, "Thank you Princess for your insight!" Thank you princess for interceding for the slave maid......"

"Chunxiang, what are the ingredients used in this cauliflower soup?" Yan Zixi suddenly changed her words and asked a question that didn't sound so relevant.

Chunxiang didn't know why Yan Zixi suddenly asked this question, but since the princess asked, Chunxiang didn't dare to hide anything, so she replied truthfully: "Back to the princess, it's fresh vegetables and eggs." ”

"Where did the greens come from?" Yan Zixi asked.

Haruka thought for a moment, and then replied: "These fresh vegetables are sent to the kitchen behind the General's Mansion every day...... These greens had also been made in soup for the old prince and his wife before, and there were no problems......88

"Wait, did you say that the old prince and his wife have also eaten these green vegetables?" Yan Zixi seemed to have caught something, and immediately frowned and asked.

"Yes, the old prince and his wife have just finished eating, and when the young general and princess come back, the slaves and maids are cleaning up......"

"Then the princess asks you again, who made the meals of the old prince and his wife? Is that you, too? ”

"No......" Chunxiang shook her head, "Madame can't get used to eating the dishes made by other people, she will only eat the food cooked by Mama Rong......"

"Mama Rong?!"

Yan Zixi finally heard a key person.

"Yes, Mrs. Yes, the meals of Mrs. and the old prince are all cooked by Mama Rong......"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she seemed to have caught some clues, she nodded, and waved her hand to Chunxiang, "Okay, Chunxiang, it's none of your business here, you can step down!" ”

Chunxiang was a little stunned, raised her head, looked at Yan Zixi in disbelief, knelt there for a long time, and didn't get up for a long time.

When Xiao Jingcong saw it, he hummed unceremoniously: "What's the matter, the princess asked you to go, but you still don't leave, what are you kneeling here for?" ”

When Chunxiang heard this, she reacted, her face showed a hint of joy, and she hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi a few times.

"Thank you, Major General! Thank you, Princess! The slave and maid will retire ......"

As she spoke, Haruka trembled and got up from the ground, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and respectfully retreat.

After Chunxiang left, Xiao Jingcong turned around and asked Yan Zixi.

"Xi'er, are you suspicious of Mama Rong?"

"I don't know, but we don't have evidence, just to interrogate her like this, she will definitely not admit it." Yan Zixi replied with a worried face.

Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Then what do you want to do?" Is that all? ”

"I guess it's better not to startle the snake for the time being! Besides, the toxicity of this poison is not strong, it is not fatal at all, and Mama Rong really wants to harm me, and she will not choose to use such a poison...... In short, there are still doubts, I think it's better to keep quiet and quietly wait for the other party to show his feet! ”

"Well, in the end, she is worthy of being the wife of this king, I really didn't expect that my Xi'er is still a genius who is familiar with military books!" A smile rose on the corner of Xiao Jingcong's mouth, and when she looked at Yan Zixi, she couldn't help but praise.

"Cut, forget it, Jingcong, don't put gold on my face, I don't have such a deep city, I just want to live happily with my beloved." Yan Zixi confided in her heart.

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, staring at Yan Zixi's pretty face, "Oh? That king wants to know, who is Xi'er's beloved? ”

"Nasty! Ask while knowing the answer! Ignore you! ”

Yan Zixi scolded and turned her head to walk out and returned to the bedroom.

Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi running away, and he hurriedly chased after him.

After coming to the bedroom, Xiao Jingcong noticed that Yan Zixi's face was flushed, like a ripe pomegranate.

"Xi'er, your face is so red? What's wrong, isn't there something uncomfortable? Is it because the residual poison just now has not disappeared? Xiao Jingcong hurriedly walked over and asked with concern, "By the way, you haven't told your husband yet, what kind of poison is that one of you?" ”

"The poison in me...... Poison...... Oh, why do you care so much, you won't kill me anyway...... It's just a little uncomfortable......"

"Uncomfortable? Where's the discomfort?! ”

Xiao Jingcong looked at Yan Zixi in front of him and still didn't intend to speak, he was about to die.

"Xi'er, ...... you" Xiao Jingcong wanted to continue asking, but unexpectedly, Yan Zixi turned around and threw herself into Xiao Jingcong's arms, and then bit Xiao Jingcong's lips.

Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi's eagerness, a smile flashed in her heroic bright eyes, and then she pressed Yan Zixi's restless pair of jade hands.

"Jing Cong...... Jing Cong ......" Yan Zixi muttered.

Yan Zixi blushed with shame, hot and hot, exhaled like an orchid, and gently called Xiao Jingcong's name.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong stopped her waist and hugged Yan Zixi, and then walked to the bed in the back room and gently put Yan Zixi on the bed.

"What? Does this poison still have this effect? Xiao Jingcong deliberately jokingly asked Yan Zixi under him.

Yan Zixi didn't care about this, just stretched out her hand and hugged Xiao Jingcong again, restlessly unbuttoning Xiao Jingcong's clothes......

"Xi'er, don't be anxious, your husband will take his time......"

……

After tossing for most of the night, Yan Zixi's consciousness was sometimes confused and sometimes sober.

But he finally understood a truth, that is, the prince can't be provoked! Especially a general like Xiao Jingcong who fought on the battlefield, he couldn't be provoked.

It's going to make you surrender in minutes!
