Old Madame Xie’s rooht after the struggle The chairs and table were all overturned, and the floor was littered with broken porcelain Despite all that, the luxury of the roolance around the residence revealed gold, silver, pearl and jade objects Treasures that other families would hide aere displayed openly here as simple ornaments
Dazzled by the sight, Ning Xiaoyao stopped walking How could such a provoking roolanced at the undisturbed tea table in the room and muttered, “Is that where the poison is?”
Ning Xiaoyao wrenched her head away to focus on the suspicious teacup, only to see multiple cups of tea and bowls of liquid scattered around the rooht one? She scratched her head before dipping her finger in the nearest cup for a taste Lou Zigui irabbed her hand and said with a trace of panic in his voice, “What are you doing?”
“I’ll be able to tell which cup is poisoned after I taste their teas,” Ning Xiaoyao explained
Lou Zigui rejected the idea “You can’t”
“……” said Ning Xiaoyao Is that the way you speak to your emperor?!
Big Boss Black ju Xiaoyao’s shoulder and scurried to the left of the crowds, heading for a tea table closest to the pie said it’s this one”
Ning Xiaoyao approached the tea table and glanced at the blue and white porcelain boith doubt “When did you two get talking?”
Big Boss Black swished his tail arrogantly “While you were busy watching the show” This ninny never knows to focus on the ieezers duke it out?
Ning Xiaoyao rolled her eyes at hiale, who’d followed her over “It’s this one”
Lou Zigui poured a bit of the clear liquid in the cup onto the table Underneath the scrutiny of three humans and one car, four pairs of eyes watched the surface of the table froth intermittently hite foam as if it’d been burnt with acid
“Old Mada Xiaoyao sighed with feeling “It looks like she was fated to die today no matter what”
“This isn’t a drink,” Lou Zigui said “But ginseng chicken soup”
Ginseng chicken soup? Ning Xiaoyao’s eyes brightened Then I ood stuff like that Wouldn’t it be a shame if we just poured it out?
“Now that we have the evidence,” Shadowgale said, “Hoe pin the crime on those military officers?”
Ning Xiaoyao silently withdrew the hand that had been reaching out for the bowl, esti that Supreme Commander would beat her up if she finished off their evidence Lou Zigui’s knuckles rapped against the tea table There’s a conundrum
At the moment, Grand Preceptor Xie in the roo Xiaoyao since he kneasn’t welcome He allowed everyone else to observe Old Madaui were planning They wouldn’t have sealed off the estate just to capture Old Mada more than a joke
“Grand Preceptor,” a guard ran in with a hushed report “The front, back and side gates have all been stationed with iuards”
Grand Preceptor Xie waved to dis off the exits means that they don’t want people to run away But who does Ning Yu want to capture right now? …the soldiers The soldiers from the south The seven military officials who came on my orders with their troops!
Grand Preceptor Xie’s gaze turned fierce before he su Xiaoyao asked Lou Zigui, “Is there no et physical We’ll beat up those seven men and then lock them up How’s that, Supreme Commander?”
Shadowgale said, “Your Majesty, you still need a reason to fight, don’t you?”
Ning Xiaoyao replied, “I didn’t like the looks of them, then As the emperor, can’t I beat up who I like?”
Shadowgale was still trying to figure out ‘didn’t like the looks of theui cut in “Definitely not That will ruin your reputation”
Ning Xiaoyao immediately rebutted, “I don’t want any reputation, I just want military power!”
Lou Zigui still shook his head “Forbidden Wantonly punishi+ng others is the conduct of a fatuous, self-indulgent ruler”
“I don’t care,” Ning Xiaoyao said Whether or not she was a fatuous ruler, Grand Preceptor Xie would curse her all the sa whom between the two of you…)
“I care,” Lou Zigui replied
Ning Xiaoyao shook her head furiously as she co the emperor!”
Shadowgale’s head drooped as he pretended to hear nothing Ning Xiaoyao twisted her head to looked around, finally spotting Grand Preceptor Xie talking with Xie Anshi+ by the door She tugged on Lou Zigui’s sleeve and said, “My intuition tells ood with his son!”
Big Boss Black soundlessly juainst the wall as he headed in Grand Preceptor Xie’s direction Shadowgale was surprised “Is he going to eavesdrop on them?”
Ning Xiaoyao nodded It’s not the first time Black Tubby’s eavesdropped on humans
Shadowgale’s thoughts were awhirl Even if the cat hears what those two are saying, how is he supposed to tell the rest of us
Lou Zigui took this moment to take out a sale, “Find a way to plant this on one of the seven men Any one of them will do”
Afraid that others would notice, Shadowgale quickly took the bottle with one hand instead of the more polite two “What is this?” he asked
“Poison,” Lou Zigui replied
