In Jiangnan City, Su Mu'er was fully prepared. She was going to use her own strength to kill Zhu Datou. Although this idea was a bit hasty, she didn't want the villain who harmed her husband to live too long.
She did not tell Guo Xian or Wang Ji about this idea. Although these two people were considered to have the same purpose as her in Jiangnan City, she did not want them to know. Victory or failure depended on this. If she could successfully kill Zhu
Datou, even if Ye Shihan is dead, she can comfort his spirit in heaven.
If she can't kill Zhu Datou, then she will die with him. When the time comes, it will be a good thing to go to another world to reunite with Ye Shihan.
However, she didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Zhu Datou always shouted at him when he went out. Although Guo Xian said that he didn't have much kung fu and only had brutal strength, she couldn't take it lightly.
After careful consideration, she chose the day to assassinate Zhu Datou on the day when Zhu Datou celebrated her fiftieth birthday.
During this period of time, Jiangnan City was relatively quiet. It seemed that Zhu Datou did not notice that his account books had been lost, or that he did, but made no move.
She didn't know this, but Zhu Datou was a little curious about her staying in Jiangnan City for more than ten days and still not leaving.
Tonight, he specially held a banquet to entertain the princess from the capital. Perhaps he had taken precautions, so he deployed countless people inside and outside the government office. Even at the dining table, he was surrounded by a group of spectators.
He looks like a man with extraordinary martial arts. This shows how worried Zhu Datou is about someone killing him.
She and Zhu Datou were the only two people at Nuo Da's dining table. Su Mu'er asked with some confusion:
"Sir Zhu, did you invite only me to make such a grand ceremony? This is too cold and lonely."
Zhu Datou squinted at her, then smiled and said:
"No one in the entire Jiangnan City is worthy of eating with the princess. Even Zhu feels ashamed of himself. But there is no way. We can't let the princess drink alone. This is not very appropriate."
Qiuyue, who was standing behind her, coughed lightly, as if she was giving Su Muer some kind of reminder, but Su Muer already knew that the wine was poisonous, and her favorite stir-fried cabbage was also poisonous without her reminding her.
, and in that fish.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the whole table, but only two were poisonous. It seemed that Zhu Datou had carefully laid out the plan. He knew that she liked to eat fish and vegetables, and he also wanted to prevent himself from eating them by mistake. He was really a smart man.
But she was very grateful to Qiuyue for reminding her at this time.
Zhu Datou picked up the wine glass in front of him and laughed:
"Princess, you have been in Jiangnan City for so long. I am busy with official duties and have no time to have a drink with the princess. I am honored to have the princess give you a favor today."
Su Mu'er picked up the wine glass at hand, held it under her nose and smelled it, then shook her head disdainfully,
"Master Zhu is so stingy. Since he is treating guests, why would he use this kind of drunken fragrance house that has only sunk for three years?"
Hearing what she said, Zhu Datou looked at her in surprise, "Princess, does she know how to drink?"
"I just know a little bit."
Zhu Datou's brows wrinkled, and Su Mu'er immediately poured down the wine glass, "I never drink alcohol, but I know how to drink. When the prince is here, I also like to have a drink. I am the one who pours the wine for him.
"
Hearing the word "Prince", Zhu Datou's hands shook, and then he cleared his throat and said:
"Come here, please bring me my bottle of daughter's red that has been sinking for ten years."
Su Mu'er pulled the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "Don't be polite, Mr. Zhu, I won't drink the wine you brought me that has been sinking for twenty years. I don't like wine, so I don't know how to drink."
When Zhu Datou heard this, he grinned.
"In this case, the princess invites you to eat some dishes. I heard that the princess likes light dishes, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some light side dishes for the princess to try."
Su Mu'er nodded, picked up her chopsticks and took a mouthful of cabbage. Just as she was about to eat it, she clearly felt Zhu Datou's mouth open slightly, as if waiting for her to eat the mouthful of cabbage.
She raised the cabbage in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, then shook her head.
"This dish is not fresh. There are insect marks on it, and the cooking oil seems to have not melted. What I hate most is such stale dishes."
Immediately, she put the cabbage on the chopsticks into an empty bowl, turned back to Qiuyue and said:
"Bring me a pair of chopsticks. These chopsticks are stained with the smell of Shantou and cannot be used."
Qiuyue glanced at Zhu Datou secretly, and then went to get her a new pair of chopsticks.
Now that she had cracked two of the three poisonous things, Zhu Datou put all his hopes on that fish.
So he said to Qiuyue:
"Qiuyue, prepare the food for the princess, why is it that you, this girl, are losing sight more and more?"
Hearing this, Qiuyue hurriedly picked up the chopsticks specially designed for serving dishes and picked out a few dishes for Su Muer. She only did not pick up the fish. When Zhu Datou saw this, he frowned in displeasure.
"Qiuyue, that fish is fresh. Give Princess Wang some to try."
Qiuyue's hand holding the chopsticks shook, and Su Muer waved her hand,
"I accidentally injured my toe yesterday. The doctor said that I can't eat fishy things, so I won't eat the fish. Qiuyue, please step aside."
Hearing this, Zhu Datou's face suddenly turned green, and Su Mu'er began to eat the vegetables Qiuyue brought for her.
Zhu Datou's Hongmen Banquet was not a success. Originally, he wanted to force it, but he was afraid of being found out, so he still let Su Mu'er out of the house.
However, Su Mu'er didn't ask him to send her off in a carriage. She wanted to walk by herself to get some cold air.
Walking on the deserted streets of Jiangnan City, followed by two girls who were ready to kill her at any moment, she felt an unknown sense of comfort in her heart.
"Qiuyue." She called out slowly. Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then took two quick steps forward.
"The princess called me."
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, "You know there's poison in that fish, right?"
Qiuyue looked at her in surprise, "Princess, does she know?"
Su Muer pulled the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "Of course I know. I told you that I am particularly sensitive to the smell of poison. I can smell it."
Qiuyue bit her lip and nodded, "I'm afraid that the princess will eat it by mistake. It seems that I'm overly worried."
Su Muer chuckled again, "Before leaving, Zhu Datou asked you to ask questions. What did he say to you?"
"without……"
She squeaked a little, "I didn't say anything."
Su Muer asked directly:
"Are you told to find an opportunity to take action as soon as possible?"
Qiuyue was stunned again, "Princess, you..."
"It's okay. I know that when I come here, I am a threat to Zhu Datou. I predict that he will do that."
Qiuyue shook her head hurriedly, "Princess, I forgive you, I don't want to do that, I am..."
"No need to explain."
She waved her hand directly, "I know you don't want me to die, but Zhu Datou won't let me go."
After saying this, she glanced alertly to the other side, and then blocked Qiuyue and Chunhua behind her.
