Yun Danfeng said lightly, but it seemed to have a thousand weights, and hit Zhao Chen's chest hard, making him feel painful.

She had told him that the food was poisonous, that she had vomited blood and that her eyes were blurry.

Liu Yuan's sentence "Caused by too much worry", the jealousy and anger in his heart became heavier. Zhao Yin had just died the day before, and before he died, he told him, "Be kind to Youning, otherwise, I won't let you go if I become a ghost."

He stared at Han Youning deeply, "Too worried? Are you resentful that I didn't keep your father and brother, or do you feel sorry for your third brother?"

After that, she never spoke of poison again. She was getting thinner and haggard, and her eyes that were once bright and bright were gradually drying up.

He thought that her heart was gone with Zhao Yin.

The pain and hatred of betrayal, like a poisonous snake, gnawed at him every day until he died.

Zhao Chen's throat hurt, but the sentence "I'm sorry" was unspeakable.

Those three words were too light, and they couldn't afford the pain she endured for the past three years.

Han Youning didn't even look up at him, he had already sniffed the dishes on the table one by one.

She pointed to a jade-white porcelain jar and said lightly, "This jar of vegetable porridge has the largest dose of poison, Your Highness has never eaten it and is intolerant, and if you eat a bowl, you will die immediately."

She pointed to a celadon jar and said, "This can of old duck and potato soup is slightly less toxic, and eating a bowl can spit out blood for a while, but it is hard to say whether it can last until the imperial doctor comes to save it." Both of these Chinese herbs were filled with warm supplements, which covered the smell and taste of the poison, and the silver needle could not be detected, so it was difficult to detect."

She pointed to a dish of mushrooms and greens, "This dish is also poisonous, but it is not very toxic, maybe the poisoner has a trembling hand and accidentally sprinkled it." If His Highness eats it, it will be a matter of spitting out a mouthful of blood. The rest is not poisonous."

She was still in no emotion, as if she was discussing with him which dish was the best.

Zhao Chen asked in a hoarse voice, "To what extent is it toxic, and how can you tell it?"

Han Youning said lightly, "Practice makes perfect. Didn't Your Highness notice that there was only one autumn leaf left by my side in the end?

Akiba and I couldn't help but be hungry, so we picked some dishes with a small amount of poison to eat. This old duck and potato soup, if the duck meat and potatoes are washed with the rainwater saved by the autumn leaves, and eat half a bowl, it is just a few mouthfuls of blood. As for the dish of mushrooms and vegetables, you don't have to waste water to wash them, you can just eat them."

Zhao Chen pursed his thin lips.

He had imagined the hardships of Youning here countless times, but the past she had experienced was not difficult at all, but cruel. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of her days.

And all this could have been avoided.

He said hoarsely, "Lonely's life and death, you should be indifferent."

"Your Highness is good that you have figured it out."

Han Youning had no intention of dwelling on the past, she had been scarred, but now she had healed, and even if she had left a scar, it was insignificant because of the abundance in her heart.

She got down to business, "Of the sixteen breakfasts, only three were poisoned. This poisoned person is very confident. If His Highness eats what is on the side, won't it be a waste of his hard work?"

Zhao Chen raised his hand and wiped his face, and said, "I haven't eaten for many days, and my first meal must be porridge and soup. And if you drink porridge, you will inevitably choose this light vegetable porridge and duck soup. The person who poisoned him knows very well what Lone likes."

Han Youning asked, "Does Your Highness know who poisoned someone?"

Although she was calm on the surface, she was afraid in her heart.

This poison was vomiting blood, which was the same as Zhao Chen's previous symptoms. No matter what the truth is, as long as Zhao Chen dies, I am afraid that he will be recognized as a victim of heart damage, and Zhao Chengyuan and the Dingguo Mansion will not escape death.

Could it really be as Zhao Chengyuan said, Emperor Qingming was so ruthless that he abandoned the car to protect the handsome, and exchanged Zhao Chen's life for the eternal stability of the country?

Or the third prince and the fourth prince?

Zhao Chen looked at the jar of porridge, his eyes full of frost.

"It's not hard to know."

--

Cining Palace.

There is breakfast on the dining table, because there are many people, today

The breakfast was a little richer than usual, and the table was full.

The Queen Mother sat on the upper seat, and Emperor Qingming and Zhao Chengyuan sat on both sides to accompany each other.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian stood beside Emperor Qingming and the Queen Mother respectively.

Concubine De is demure and quiet, and she is the mother of the third prince Zhao Yin.

Concubine Xian loves to laugh passionately and is the mother of the fourth prince Zhao Mi.

Concubine Xian served a bowl of porridge for the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is really blessed, the emperor and the two sons of King Jin accompany you to breakfast."

The Queen Mother looked at the two brothers and wept, "You haven't had breakfast with the mourning family for many years, if this is on weekdays, the mourning family will definitely be able to eat half a bowl of rice. But now Chen'er's life and death are unpredictable, how can the mourning family eat?"

Zhao Chengyuan put a steamed dumpling in the Queen Mother's plate, and said slowly, "The Queen Mother still uses some, if it goes on like this, her body will collapse."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Chengyuan, "The mourning family can't die of hunger if they don't eat a few meals, but Chen'er hasn't eaten rice and water for many days. You are Chen'er's imperial uncle, and the two grew up together since childhood, how can you be so heavy on him!"

In the end, there is already anger.

The Queen Mother has always been kind to Zhao Chengyuan.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian both looked at Zhao Chengyuan.

This prince of Jin, who is about the same age as all the princes, even if he is detained in the palace, he still looks noble and cold, and he doesn't panic at all, isn't he afraid?

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was still calm and calm, "The queen mother is angry, is it her son's minister. Rest assured, the prince will be fine."

"You'll just say it's okay, what if something happens? If he doesn't survive, what's the use of you fighting for him? Losing your son and grandson all at once, how do you let the mourning family live?"

In any case, seeing that Zhao Chengyuan was so calm, the Queen Mother was still a little more steady.

Now, apart from her, I'm afraid that the one who doesn't want the prince to die is Zhao Chengyuan.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Qingming again, "And the emperor, Chen'er is your son, aren't you worried about him?" Just go and see him!"

Emperor Qingming said in a deep voice, "What the queen mother taught me is that after breakfast, my sons went to the prince's mansion to see him."

Seeing that her son was finally willing to go to see the prince, the queen mother felt a little comforted in her heart.

She picked up the chopsticks, "The mourning family and the seventh are with you."

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Seventh brother doesn't have to. I'm afraid the prince doesn't want to see him very much."

The Queen Mother said, "Although the prince has a grudge against Lao Qi, he also listens to what Lao Qi says the most. Lao Qi went to persuade him more, but he couldn't get better."

Emperor Qingming raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Chengyuan, he was always able to persuade others to act according to his wishes.

Even if he injured the prince like this, the queen mother was finally persuaded by him and took him out of the palace.

But once Zhao Chengyuan leaves the palace, it will be difficult to ban him in the palace again.

Emperor Qingming said, "The queen mother is not feeling well, so it is better to stay in the palace. The seventh brother is here to accompany the queen mother."
