Chapter 60 – Roasted Fish The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)
“I wanted to remind you actually, but you bit it too quickly.” Ouyang Shaochen was feeling particularly good, his eyes were shining bright like a black diamond.
“…” Murong Xue was left speechless.
If it were not Ouyang Shaochen that had given such a neutral comment on her fish, she would certainly not bite it in her fury. It was Ouyang Shaochen’s fault that she had eaten the wrong fish.
This evil-minded guy, was he actually scheming against her…
Ye Yichen was sitting not far away, his injured arm had been bandaged. He was staring in the direction of Murong Xue and Ouyang Shaochen, not sure what he was planning in his mind.
Qin Yuyuan was sitting beside Ye Yichen, and she was looking at Murong Xue furiously and jealously : Ouyang Shaochen spoke bluntly to any girls he encountered, but now he was talking to Murong Xue with a kind and pleasant countenance. It shouldn’t be that way, it shouldn’t be that way…
The soldiers of Prince Jing were roasting their fishes, they suddenly lost their appetites as they smelled the strong aroma of the fish Murong Xue was roasting…
Looking in the direction where the nice scent was from, Wu Hen was holding some fruits and strolling toward Ouyang Shaochen. He spoke in a polite manner, “Prince, I’ve brought you some fruits!”
Ouyang ShaoChen glanced at the fruits, they were round in shape and vivid red in color. There were beads of moisture on the fruits, it can be told from the appearance that the fruits were crunchy and thirst-quenching. “Where are these from?”
“Shizi, I got them from there!” Wu Hen pointed in the direction of the woods not far away and handed the fruits to Ouyang ShaoChen. He took one out of his sleeve and was about to put inside his mouth.
Murong Xue took a look at them and was frightened. She pushed away Wu Hen’s hand abruptly and said, “These fruits are poisonous and inedible…”
As she finished her words, they heard a frantic scream and a soldier from the house of Prince Jing fell on the ground. He held his belly and rolled on the ground. His skin turned its color into strange black rapidly. Later, he lied silently on the ground and a half bitten red fruit dropped out from his body.
Ye YiChen, Qin Yuyuan and the soldiers from the house of Prince Jing stared at the body quietly. They were standing beside the firewood in dead silence.
Wu Hen was taken aback as well. He showed great gratitude to Murong Xue when he recovered from his surprise, “Thanks Ms. Murong for saving my life again! How do you know that the fruits are poisonous?” He had tested the fruits with needle before he plucked them, the needle did not turn black…
Murong Xue looked at him seriously, “The poison of these fruits cannot be tested by using a needle. Once you’ve eaten the fruits, the poison will flow through your vein instantly, and you’ll die in the twinkle of an eye.” It was really a truth to be told that in the jungle, the more beautiful was the fruits, the more poisonous they were.
Wu Hen nodded and looked at Murong Xue with admiration: She is just a dainty lady who stays in the house for most of the time, but she is much knowledgeable than him, even though he was the one who stood by Ouyang Shizi’s side for almost eight years. She was certainly an incredible lady, no wonder Ouyang shizi would fall for her…
The enticing smell engulfed the surroundings, Murong Xue felt thirsty. She strolled toward her black bag and took out a few porcelain cups. These cups were custom made, the cap and the cup were held together tightly. When she opened the cap, it can be seen that the cup was filled with white liquid…
“What’s that?” Ouyang ShaoChen walked toward her and asked in confusion.
