In Xia Yan's words, when he saw that insect, he almost felt like vomiting.
I rinsed my mouth with water, and Xiao Guozi quickly took away the bucket containing the dirt.
Xia Yan took a deep breath: "I thought it was just poisoning, but I didn't expect that it was someone who had poisoned me."
Liu Chi wiped his hands with a white silk scarf and said calmly: "This kind of poison is not suitable for people to discover. Over the years, I have used countless delicious soups as bait to lure this thing out."
I stared in surprise: "Those soups...are used to attract these insects?"
Liu Chi couldn't help but smile: "What do you think?"
I was suddenly confused.
He then heard Liu Chi continue: "The reason why the king can't taste it is because this insect has absorbed all the delicious food. The insect itself is not poisonous and will not harm the human body, so most people will not
Be aware of its presence."
"Since this bug itself is harmless, why would someone plant it on me?" I asked.
Liu Chi thought for a while, and his smile spread to the depths of his eyes. He seemed to think this was a really ridiculous question, but because I asked it, he couldn't help but not answer it.
"It may seem harmless to eat something that doesn't taste good, but once someone discovers it, it can be life-threatening."
Xia Yan always remained silent. He seemed calm, but the color of the petals on his forehead was an orange color of fear. This surprised me. Damn, he was obviously scared, but he could still show such a calm side.
"How do you say it?" I asked.
"What would happen if a person could never eat salt?" Liu Chi said, looking at me with a smile.
I was stunned. I couldn’t eat any salt?
Seeing that I hadn't understood yet, Liu Chi was about to explain, but Xia Yan jumped in and said, "If you don't eat salt for a long time, your body will fail."
I was so frightened that I couldn't speak for a long time.
Xia Yan sneered: "This is a way to kill people invisible."
Originally, the monthly assassinations were the ultimate level of mental torture for me. Now it seems, how can those be compared with this? Just salt can kill people, and the assassins are so weak.
…
It was an incredible thing for me to taste these delicacies with Xia Yan's body for the first time. I ate every dish very carefully, but when I tasted it, it had a different taste in my mouth.
Seeing my frown, Xia Yan hurried over: "What's wrong?"
I sighed and spit out the food in my mouth: "What, it tastes so bad."
It smells very fragrant, but when you eat it, you get a different taste that is puzzling.
The light one is almost indistinguishable from water.
Xia Yan picked up the chopsticks I used, took a bite, raised his eyebrows, and swallowed the food in his mouth. During this period, the lotus between his eyebrows revealed an enchanting red color.
That is a symbol of anger.
"No salt, really no salt."
When I returned to the palace, I encountered something like this. I stumbled and fell on the chair. If it hadn't been for Liu Chi today, Xia Yan and I would never know what was going on in our lives.
"Every meal is tasted by a eunuch. Is it possible that the eunuch who tastes it can't eat it?" Suddenly, I became a little angry.
"It's not that they can't eat it, but they have been bribed to pretend that they can't eat it. However, I don't exclude that they actually eat it, but they dare not say it. After all, as long as the king's meal is not poisonous, other
It's not within their jurisdiction." Liu Chi explained in a calm tone.
