After all, she entered the palace privately and pretended to be a subordinate of her father, which was really rash.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Lian Jirou's voice is as thin as a mosquito fly.

Her eyes wandered around, not daring to look directly at the other person's probing eyes.

Finally, my eyes fell on the table of "supplementary meals". These were all supplementary meals!

Now it was Li Yunxing's turn to feel embarrassed, "Ahem, on my part... there is no problem. These are the meals arranged by the young eunuch."

Lian Jirou had a smile on her face. She had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince look so embarrassed.

"Your Highness, you don't have to think too much. My daughter has never thought that you have any...hidden disease."

Lian Jirou didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't say that she believed that Li Yunxing was very capable, right?

Lian Jirou's pretty face turned red, ashamed of her bold idea.

"You haven't tasted my power yet, how do you know there's nothing wrong with me?"

Li Yunxing stared at Lian Jirou with deep meaning.

Lian Jirou was stunned. She never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would tease her at this time.

Her cheeks instantly became hot, and she glared at Li Yunxing angrily, "Your Highness is talking nonsense and won't talk to you."

"Haha..." Li Yunxing couldn't help laughing loudly.

It was rare that he smiled so heartily and cheerfully, as if the resentment he had been holding back for a long time was dissipated because of this sentence.

Looking at the charming and delicate girl in front of him, Li Yunxing couldn't help but walked towards her and took her into his arms.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! How bad it is for others to see you." Lian Jirou struggled to push Li Yunxing away.

"This East Palace is all my own. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will cut out their tongues."

Although Li Yunxing was threatening with a smile, the coldness in his tone left no doubt that he could say it and do it.

Lian Jirou was still a little panicked at first, but now that she heard these words, her nervousness disappeared inexplicably.

His Royal Highness is more domineering than imagined.

Li Yunxing hugged her for a while, then let go of her, "Since you are here, I will order them to bring more bowls and chopsticks, and you will have a meal with me."

Lian Jirou nodded in agreement.

Jin Xi thoughtfully served a bowl of braised pork ribs with lotus seeds and lilies for the future princess, "Miss Lian, these lilies and lotus seeds are great for relieving the summer heat. Please try more."

"Yeah." Lian Jirou nodded, picked up the soup, took a sip and spit it out.

"What's going on? Miss Lian, it's not to your liking?" Eunuch Jinxi was a little anxious. Wouldn't this flattery end up hurting the horse's legs?

Lian Jirou pursed her lips, and then used a spoon to stir through the dish.

The soup base was milky white, and there were many lotus seeds and lilies at the bottom. Lian Jirou's face turned cold and he asked repeatedly, "Your Highness! This dish is poisonous. Didn't you drink it?"

Li Yunxing took a look at the dish. He didn't like the bitter taste of lotus seeds, but he hadn't tasted it yet.

Seeing the prince shaking his head in denial, Lian Jirou relaxed.

As soon as he heard that it was poisonous, eunuch Jinxi jumped up like a frightened bird, "How is that possible? Your Highness, are you okay? I just checked it clearly. There is nothing abnormal about this dish."

Li Yunxing waved his hand to signal him not to panic.

At this time, Lian Jirou wiped his mouth before continuing, "How is this dish made?"

"This dish is called braised pork ribs with lotus seeds and lilies. Naturally, the lotus seeds and lilies are washed, added to the stock and cooked together with the pork ribs."

Lian Jirou shook his head, "Your Highness, the little girl's mother died young, so she has been studying cooking skills since she was a child. This lotus seed core has a coat that is the most difficult to peel off."

When the other party mentioned this, Jin Xi reached out and scooped up the lotus seeds with a spoon. Some green fruit coating could be vaguely seen.

"Miss Lian, is this little bit of fruit clothing really so toxic?"

After saying that, Jin Xi took out the recipe handed over by the imperial doctor from his arms: Boil the pork belly until it turns into a thick white soup, discard it and keep the soup base, put the cuttlefish into the soup and add auxiliary ingredients to cook it.

Li Yunxing picked up the prescription handed over by the imperial doctor and looked at it carefully. There was nothing wrong with the ordinary food prescription. These were all very ordinary foods.

"Then why is there something wrong with this soup?"

Jin Xi frowned and thought for a long time, "The fruits and vegetables supplied to the palace every day must be freshly purchased."

Li Yunxing nodded, he thought so too, but how could this dish be poisoned for no reason?

"Your Highness, the pork belly and lotus seeds are indeed not poisonous, but the lotus seed core is not necessarily poisonous."

Lian Jirou said calmly, "The lotus seed core tastes bitter and is usually removed during processing. My daughter just took a sip and felt that the bitterness of this soup is stronger than others."

"So the little girl just turned over the lotus seeds in the soup and took a look. Sure enough, although the core of the lotus seeds has been removed, the skin connected to it has not been processed."

"Lotus seeds are not poisonous, but it is not advisable to eat too much of the lotus seeds. If paired with this cuttlefish and pork belly soup, it will be as strong as arsenic."

Lian Jirou made this analysis, and everyone in the room was frightened. Fortunately, Lian Jirou discovered that this place was poisonous in time.

Otherwise, if he eats something bad, Li Yunxing's life will be in danger.

Li Yunxing's eyes were dark, and he had a bad guess in his mind.

Li Yunxing had a cold face and a gloomy expression. He suddenly called out the door, "Here comes someone! Go and tie up the steward of the imperial kitchen who is in charge of purchasing today."

Before Jin Xi could react, Lian Jirou became anxious and said, "Your Highness, this steward may have been deceived by others."

Li Yunxing looked at Lian Jirou and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let anyone off with evil intentions."

The murderous intention hidden in Li Yunxing's words frightened Lian Jirou's body to tremble.

She couldn't help but think of a word - thunder and anger.

Lian Jirou stood aside and kept wringing his handkerchief, "His Royal Highness, what do you plan to do with me?"

"Of course we will find out who is behind it and kill him directly."

Li Yunxing's tone was serious, and he was obviously really angry. He hated being deceived by others, especially people who wanted to kill him.

Hearing this, Lian Jirou trembled slightly. The prince was indeed worthy of being a decisive person, but today's matter should not be rushed.

"But Your Highness, I think this matter should not be decided so hastily."

Li Yunxing looked up at her, as if waiting for her explanation.

"Your Highness, you think that since the people behind this dare to poison you, they must have placed many people in the palace, and these people have huge power in the palace. Even if they are found, it will not be easy to eradicate them.

"

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "Are we just going to let them do this?"
