Chapter 17 The Poisoned Person

Chapter 17 The Poisoner

Leng Moran didn't intend to stay here any longer, or his purpose of coming here had been achieved, so he signaled a letter and helped him leave.

Before Leng Moran went out, Xiao Xixi quickly stopped him.

Leng Moran couldn't see it, but he could feel the changes all over his body. He frowned. Could it be that this woman was going to regret it again?

Xiao Xixi took the brocade box from Jiyue and handed it to Leng Moran: "This is a candy made at home. It's delicious. I hope the prince will like it."

Leng Moran's face was expressionless and he had no intention of taking it. Xiao Xixi had no choice but to do the next best thing and hand the brocade box to the letter.

The letter hesitated for a moment, but seeing that his prince did not refuse, he nodded towards Xiao Xixi, took the brocade box, and left with Leng Moran.

The waiter was already covered in cold sweat. Although he was watching the whole process, he still felt that he had offended Leng Mo Ran.

Satisfied, Xiao Xixi found a place to sit down and told the waiter: "Go and give me the tea and snacks that the prince ordered just now."

Understanding customer tastes is also a required course.

The waiter bowed and stepped back.

Xiao Xiaorou was very absent-minded because she wanted to discuss the marriage. She didn't seem to care about what Xiao Xixi and Leng Moran said between them. She just sat down quietly and drank tea and snacks quietly.

Xiao Xixi glanced at her and quickly looked away.

Let her go. If this Xiao Xiaorou really has other thoughts, she should take action soon.



Leng Moran and Xin, the master and servant, left the teahouse.

The letter opened the brocade box and was stunned when he saw the contents inside: "Your Majesty, what Miss Xiao Er gave you is a few things strung with bamboo sticks. They look like candy, but they are white in color and have a smell.

A light milky flavor.”

Leng Moran signaled Feng Yan to bring the brocade box closer. He leaned over slightly and sniffed it. His distrust rose again in his heart: "Who knows what she is up to."

Thinking of the experience of being raped, anger flashed across Leng Moran's face: "Throw it away."

Before the letter could be spoken, Leng Moran changed his mind again: "Forget it, she shouldn't dare to add anything in it. I'll give it a try."

But the letter said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates will help you test the poison first."

Leng Moran didn't stop him.

After confirming that it was non-toxic, Xin Xin picked up one and handed it to Leng Mo Ran.

Leng Mo Ran put the sugar into his mouth.

The milky aroma and sweetness slowly spread on the tip of his tongue. It seemed that he had not eaten this kind of sweet food for many years.

"Not bad, you can split the rest with Feng Yan and the others."

"yes."

Eating sweets, Leng Moran's thoughts drifted away.

Yesterday's letter found out the residence of an old man in the palace. He quickly rushed over and learned that he was not at home.

Today he went there again and found that the people had moved away.

What was waiting at the teahouse just now was a letter to find out where the man had moved.

Unfortunately, there is no result yet.

After getting on the carriage, a man came over and whispered a few words into the letter's ear.

A letter went into the carriage to report the situation to Leng Moran.

"Your Majesty——"

Leng Moran was surprised: "Have you found that person?"

"No, it was the poisoning in the Xiao Family Courtyard."

Leng Moran put away his joy and motioned for the letter to continue.

"There is a maid named Caiyun next to Miss Xiao Er. She bought Broken Heart Powder from someone a month ago."

Leng Moran smiled coldly, how many people had Xiao Xiaoyu offended? This time it was the maid next to her who wanted to harm her.

The letter asked: "Do you want to tell Miss Xiao Er about this?"

"No need," Leng Moran touched the candy in his hand, "Xiao Xiaoyu is not a simple person, let her find out by herself."

Anyway, they had already missed, and Caiyun didn't dare to do it again for a moment.

"Can we find out her purpose?" Leng Moran asked.

The letter did not expect that his prince would care about this matter, but their people had already inquired about it clearly and replied: "Caiyun has a childhood sweetheart who sells goods at a stall in the capital. This man's mother is sick and needs a lot of money.

"

Leng Moran shook his head: "If she wants money, there is no need for her to poison Xiao Xiaoyu. I'm afraid she has an ulterior motive."

"Your Majesty, do you still want to check?"

"No need, Xiao Xiaoyu will check it himself."

Leng Moran had previously asked the letter to be checked because he suspected that the poisoner was here for him. Now that he knew it was not the case, there was no need for him to intervene anymore.



Xiao Xixi drank tea in the teahouse, visited a few shops at random, and then returned to her house.

When I returned home, I found that the small kitchen in the yard had been tidied up.

Not only that, but there was also smoke rising from the kitchen.

Xiao Xixi walked in and saw He Xiu working inside.

Xiao Xixi's face was filled with anticipation. Is this another delicious meal?

Thinking of He Xiu's previous mention that she could make novel pastries, Xiao Xixi was even more excited.

But when she walked to He Xiu, she saw green, red, black and purple cakes placed in front of her.

In short, it's the kind that instantly makes people lose interest in trying it.

When He Xiu saw the second fairy lady coming over, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Second lady, I have made a new pastry. Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Xixi immediately waved her hand, reluctantly putting away her shock, and said seriously: "I just came over to take a look, and I'm not hungry now. You can cook it first and share it with others to taste first."

I'm sorry everyone, she really doesn't have the courage to taste it, so she can only transfer this pain to others.

And she didn’t want to dampen He Xiu’s enthusiasm for innovation, just in case she could make something truly novel and delicious.

Anyway, she didn't force others to use her status as a lady. Anyone who wants to try it can try it, just in case the pastry turns out to be unexpectedly delicious.

Xiao Xixi came out of the kitchenette as if running away, returned to the main room and sat down.

Ru Lan came over to rub her shoulders, Xiao Xixi caught a glimpse of Caiyun's eyes dodge and clasped her hands together.

"Caiyun, are you in any trouble?"

Caiyun seemed not to have expected that Xiao Xixi would ask her, and quickly shook her head in panic.

This made Xiao Xixi firm up in her mind. She was afraid that there was something wrong with this maid.

Compared with the other three maids, Caiyun is smart. It is always dangerous to keep such a smart person around, and you don't know what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.

Although she always strives to maintain her personality, she is not the original owner after all, and there will always be oversights. If someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Forget it, let's find a way to make a mistake and send the person away.

"Caiyun, I'm a little thirsty. Go bring me some tea."

Caiyun put away her panic, bowed and left.

[Ding! The system has detected something strange in Caiyun, which may endanger the life and safety of the host. Please be careful!]

Xiao Xixi's lips curved, not bad, this brain-dead system has finally returned to its human affairs.

However, why did Caiyun want to endanger the original owner?

Although there are not many records about the original owner in the book, the four maids around her are all extremely loyal and there should be no attempts to murder the original owner.

Could it be that Caiyun found out that she was not the original owner, so he wanted to attack her?
