Candles have already been lit in various pavilions in the palace, illuminating the corridors of the palace transparently.
In the middle of the entire palace is a large attic, which is three stories high.
Hanging on the plaque on the main door of the attic is a plaque given by the late emperor, with four characters written on it: Pillar of the Country.
And these four words have been hanging on the door for nearly ten years.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Night King Chu Mobai was particularly fond of this plaque, and even asked his servants to clean it every day.
He did not allow anything dirty on the plaque, so the family not only scrubbed it clean, but even waxed it every day to make the plaque that had been hanging for ten years look as good as new.
Qian Ruoyu took Cuihua to the outside of the attic and saw the cleanly scrubbed plaque.
This plaque was not only a gift from the late emperor, but also four words written by the late emperor himself.
Qian Ruoyu also came to the palace and realized the importance of this plaque after hearing the servants talk about it.
I was also thinking in my heart, someone who can remember the past because of such a plaque is obviously not a bad person.
Moreover, this was the plaque hung up by the late emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, Chu Mobai has never put down this plaque.
What it means, I am afraid only Chu Mobai and the current emperor know.
Qian Ruoyu entered the attic. It was already dinner time in the evening, so a large Eight Immortals table was set up in the attic.
Candles had already been lit around the Eight Immortals table, illuminating the entire attic.
After seeing Qian Ruoyu enter, several maids and servants bowed their heads towards her.
"I've met the princess!"
After all, she is already an official princess. No matter how courageous the servants are, they don't dare to make any mistakes at this time.
At this time, Butler Wang came in with two servants and was about to tidy up some tables and chairs around the Eight Immortals Table.
Suddenly he saw Qian Ruoyu and immediately stood there, bowing his head and saying to Qian Ruoyu.
"I've met the princess!"
Qian Ruoyu turned around and saw Butler Wang who was bowing his head in salute, so Qian Ruoyu said calmly.
"Butler Wang, when can we eat?"
Steward Wang immediately said, "For the record, the Princess, the meal is usually served after the prince is seated, and then all the dishes are served together."
"The cooks have now prepared eighteen dishes, six desserts, two fresh soups and several kinds of fruits. Once the prince arrives at the attic, we will serve the dishes directly. Please wait for the princess!"
The corners of Qian Ruoyu's mouth raised slightly, and she quickly came to Butler Wang's side.
Because Qian Ruoyu already felt his stomach growling a little. After all, he only ate a little watermelon in the afternoon and stopped eating.
Seeing Qian Ruoyu approaching, Butler Wang quickly took a half step back, but Qian Ruoyu grabbed his shoulder.
"Oh, don't back away. What are you afraid of? I just want to ask you first where is the meal prepared by the cook?"
Butler Wang naturally didn't know what Qian Ruoyu was thinking, so he said.
"All the dishes, pastries, etc. are placed in the private room next to the attic. Madam, what can I do for you?"
Qian Ruoyu smiled and shook her head, and broke into the private room next to the attic alone.
This is a side room next to the large attic. Although it is large, there are six square tables placed on it, and different items are placed on each square table.
There is one table for dishes, another for fruits, and another for soups. They are arranged neatly without any confusion.
Looking at such a large table, Qian Ruoyu went directly to the table with dishes. She was already so hungry that she decided to use her chopsticks first.
Although she knew it was a bit rude to do so, Qian Ruoyu couldn't care less.
Qian Ruoyu picked up a pair of chopsticks from the side, picked up the pig's trotters on the table and started to bite them.
At this time, Qian Ruoyu naturally did not care about other images, and even prepared to take a pig's trotter out and bring it to Cuihua outside.
Cuihua didn't dare to follow Qian Ruoyu in. After all, Qian Ruoyu was Qian Ruoyu and Cuihua was Cuihua.
And just after Yao took two bites of pig's trotters, Qian Ruoyu immediately began to feel something was wrong!
"No...not good!"
A strong intuition suddenly surged into her heart, and Qian Ruoyu suddenly felt as if her brain had been hit by something.
Then Qian Ruoyu took out the pig's trotters again and took a look at the pig's trotters.
At this moment, a feeling of dizziness hit me again!
Qian Ruoyu quickly took out the silver needle she had with her and inserted it into the pig's trotter.
It only took a blink of an eye, but the silver needle in Qian Ruoyu's hand turned blue!
"No, this dish is poisonous!"
Qian Ruoyu was shocked.
The fact that the silver needle can change color so quickly obviously means that the poison in this dish is not simple.
Qian Ruoyu had already begun to feel the effects of the medicine at this time, and was in danger of fainting at any time!
Qian Ruoyu immediately entered his laboratory and lay down on the operating bed.
In the laboratory, Qian Ruoyu performed an operation on himself, cleaned his mouth as quickly as possible, and began to perform gastric lavage on himself while he was awake.
"vomit……"
A strong feeling of nausea hit her instantly, and Qian Ruoyu opened her mouth and spat out the few bites of pig's trotters she had just eaten.
But those pork trotters have turned black!
Seeing such a strong poisonous smile, even Qian Ruoyu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
But now Qian Ruoyu had no room to think about other things. Just after vomiting the pig's trotters, he found the antidote in the cabinet and swallowed it without hesitation!
Qian Ruoyu, who was sitting on the floor and leaning against the cabinet, could only feel that he was dying. However, after taking the antidote, he instantly began to feel as if his body had been purified.
Qian Ruoyu blinked several times, and every time he blinked, he felt that the world in front of him became clearer.
After just a while, Qian Ruoyu felt that the discomfort had completely disappeared, and then she reluctantly stood up from the cabinet.
But the feeling of poisoning just now really made Qian Ruoyu panic!
If it weren't for Qian Ruoyu's identity, he might have been poisoned just now and would have died next to the table.
He was assassinated, and the target of the assassination has not made any progress. I am afraid that Qian Ruoyu will be taken advantage of by then!
But after thinking about it, Qian Ruoyu murmured to himself.
"Who on earth administered the poison...and who was the target of the poison...could it be him!?"
This place is the Night King's Mansion, and the dishes are prepared for the Night King. Obviously, the person the other party wants to poison is Chu Mobai!
