She quickly asked the Tuanzi: ”Ran'er, what did you just eat? Are you okay? ”

Tuanzi was chewing on a chicken leg, looking at the noisy crowd with an innocent face, ”I … Mother, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly? ”

It was only then that Mu Zhihuan's stone fell to the ground. ”As long as you're fine, don't eat anymore, this thing has gone bad. If you eat it, you'll have diarrhea later.”

As he said that, he snatched the chicken leg from Tuanzi's hands. ”Wait a moment, let's eat barbecue.

Although Mu Zhihuan looked calm on the surface, she could already hear her voice trembling.

These people actually attacked so quickly, and they even used poison.

”Are you okay?”

Zhennan keenly noticed Mu Zhihuan's uneasiness, ”I've observed for a bit, and only that dead official's dessert soup has been touched. The others have not had the time to drink it, or maybe none of them have.”

Even under such a nervous situation, Zhennan was still able to observe all of this. Mu Zhihuan couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him, ”Then what do we do now?”

Zhennan shrugged his shoulders, ”We can only move. The enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open, no matter how we think about it, we are at a disadvantage.”

With that said, Zhennan ran over to the old imperial physician's side and borrowed a handful of silver needles. Then he placed one on each table.

Under such a chaotic situation, there were no doubt that someone was looking at him out of curiosity.

When Zhennan placed all the silver needles onto the dessert bowls, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and all of their faces revealed unease.

This was because every single silver needle Zhennan placed in the bowl had begun to gradually turn black.

It seemed that the assassins wanted all of the high officials who joined Qiushou to die here.

”Send someone to the kitchen to check it out!”

No one knew who reacted first, but when he came over, he let out a loud roar and instantly, someone moved.

Not long later, a slightly plump man was dragged in.

From the clothes he was wearing, one could tell that he should be a chef. Jiang Zimu whispered something in front of the emperor, and then heard the emperor say in a weak voice that he was going to hand this matter over to the crown prince.

Jiang Zimu called for a man with a shield at his side to come over and protect the emperor tightly. Then, he walked down the stage and went to the kitchen man's side.

That chef was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably. Greetings Crown Prince … ”

Jiang Zimu glanced at the kitchen man: ”Raise your head and look at me.”

The kitchen man raised his head, trembling. His lips were green and purple, and he looked like he wasn't afraid at all, ”That's too …” Forgive me, Crown Prince! Small... This little one really didn't do it on purpose. ”

He hadn't even started asking, but he had already admitted it?

Jiang Zimu frowned: ”What crime? ”Tell me honestly, what exactly happened in the kitchen?”

”Guys...” Guys... ”Room?” That kitchen man was stunned. ”I had to prepare in the morning. I woke up too early. After I finished my work, I went to sleep in the big tree behind the kitchen.”

”When I woke up, these two guards had already caught me … About the kitchen... I don't know. ”
