() "Huh?"

The cook was stunned at the time, and after a pause, he said,

"This minion doesn't dare, how dare I eat with the two highnesses......"

"Eh, it was rewarded to you by His Royal Highness King Yan, why don't you dare,"

Chai Jingnan had a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth,

"Or is there any special 'seasoning' in this soup that you can't eat?"

"What do you mean by that......"

The cook began to tremble.

Before he could continue to quibble, he had already been interrupted by Chai Jingnan,

"Don't you know what you mean? In the afternoon, didn't someone give you a bag of things and specifically ask you to put them in the mutton soup, and say that it doesn't work if you don't use the mutton soup to trigger it, how can you not remember? By the way, didn't you and that person meet at the back of the kitchen in the inner courtyard of the palace? ”

"Y-How could you ......?"

The cook's voice began to tremble.

Chai Jingnan said with a smile on his face,

"How would I know, right? For I was on the roof of the kitchen while you spoke, and I could hear what you two were saying. Oh, by the way, that person also said at the time that he only wanted to get rid of Xiao Qin, but now he sent a swallow to the door, which can be solved together, which is really an unexpected gift. Eh, I mean, who the hell is that guy? I would like to ask him, where is the fourth uncle like a swallow? ”

"What the hell is going on?!"

Hearing this, anyone could understand what was happening in front of them, Zhu Fan was so angry that he slapped the table and asked loudly at the cook.

The cook's face was red and white, and he stooped down quickly, drew a dagger from his boot, and scolded viciously,

"You, you kid are really hateful......"

"It's you who is the hateful person, right, you dare to use such indiscriminate means to harm people!"

When the sound arrived, just when the short sword was just in the hand of the cook, Chai Jingnan had already arrived in front of him, his right hand brushed his wrist holding the sword, and the sword finger of his left hand was immediately pointed. With the sound of "dang", when the short sword fell to the ground, several large holes on the cook's body were instantly sealed, and the whole person fell to the ground.

At this moment, two flying knives shot in from the window, stabbing at Zhu Fan and Zhu Di respectively, but they were blocked by Zheng He, who appeared in the house at some point.

Chai Jingnan shouted when he saw it,

"Brother Sanbao, protect the two highnesses!"

Before the words fell, the person had rushed out of the door, but just when he came to the courtyard, he heard a voice in his ear,

"Little guy, you go back to protect the fourth master, and those miscellaneous pieces are handed over to us!"

"Okay!"

Hearing that it was Wu Pingwen's voice, Chai Jingnan naturally put his mind at ease, watched a few black shadows pass through the night, smiled knowingly, turned around and returned to the room.

At this time, Zhu Di was sitting there with his second brother, and Zheng He was standing aside. Seeing that he was back, Zhu Di asked with concern,

"How's it going, Jing'er? Are you okay? What about the Assassins? ”

"I'm fine,"

Chai Jingnan said with a smile,

"As for those assassins, Uncle Zhu and they chased after them, and they will definitely not be able to escape."

"Oh, then I'll be relieved."

Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned to Zhu Fan again,

"Second brother, how are you? You okay? ”

"Second brother is fine,"

Zhu Fan did look shocked, but he was still able to maintain his composure and smiled bitterly,

"Fourth brother, you're really right, this dark arrow is really difficult to guard."

"Now that it's okay, let's ask this cook of yours who the person who gave him the 'spice' is."

Chai Jingnan held the sword in his arms and said leisurely.

After he mentioned this, Zhu Fan also turned his head like waking up from a dream and stared at the cook.

"Did you hear what this young man said, and he didn't recruit it from the truth!"

"I ......"

The cook had been sitting on the ground for a long time, and his eyes had been rolling, and now when he saw Zhu Fan asking, he said busily,

"Please be gracious Your Highness, the slave is really forced to do this."

"It's just nonsense!"

Zhu Fan said angrily,

"You've been in my palace for some years! The lonely king has always treated you well, is there anyone else forcing you to fail! ”

"Your Highness, it is true that there are people who persecute the slaves,"

The cook was a little inconvenient to move because he was pointed at the acupoint, but he still kowtowed reluctantly.

"Actually, the people who gave the slave medicine took the slave's family as hostages, saying that the slave would kill the slave's relatives if they didn't do what they said, so the slave ......"

"Your family?!"

Zhu Fan is not a person who can be easily deceived, hearing him say this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he asked,

"You still have family, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"This ......"

The cook paused, and then said,

"The minions have always been despised by the clansmen because they have become chamberlains, so the minions have never mentioned them. But in any case, they are also the slave's family, and the slave must not put his life at risk, and ask His Highness for mercy......"

"Then let me ask you, who are the people who asked you to poison His Royal Highness King Gu and King Yan?"

Zhu Fan asked coldly.

The cook kowtowed again,

"This minion doesn't know, they took medicine to coerce me to assassinate the two highnesses, the slave is wrong, the slave should die......"

"You do deserve ...... damned"

Zhu Fan was really angry, and really wanted to kill him on the spot, but after all, this guy was the princess's clan, and if he dealt with it, he would always have to say hello to her, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing that his second brother was a little difficult to decide, Zhu Di thought for a while and said,

"Second brother, if the truth is really as he said, then it is indeed excusable. Well, until the truth is clarified, don't deal with him, lock him up first, and wait until the investigation is clear. ”

"Okay, it's up to you, fourth brother."

Zhu Fan was worried and didn't know what to do, but the fourth brother gave him a step down, and hurriedly shouted to the door,

"Someone! Where's the guard?! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

With the words, four majestic palace guards walked in from outside the door, and bowed down on one knee in unison.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness King Qin commands?"

"Take this thief down, keep him under strict guard, don't let him escape!"

Zhu Fan glared at the cook fiercely and said.

The four guards answered together, pulled the guy off the ground, dragged him out the door, and took him to the backyard and locked up.

At this time, calm returned to the room, Zhu Fan was still angry, and after a long while, he looked at Zhu Di and said,

"It's really dangerous today, if it weren't for the fourth brother here, I'm afraid my second brother would really be unable to save his life."

"Second brother, don't say that, it's still your Ji people who have their own natural appearance, so you can be safe."

Zhu Di smiled and said,

"It's just that tonight's action is just one of their plans, don't forget, those people are still going to instigate a rebellion, although the assassination failed, but they also have to prevent the people of the 'Flying Sword Alliance' from jumping over the wall and forcibly rebelling."

"Oh, then, what do you think you should do, fourth brother?"

Zhu Fan also understood that the current situation was indeed very critical, so he asked the fourth brother for advice.
