Chapter 78 Poisoning
"Nonsense! The emperor has already granted marriage between An Yu and Prince Shen. When did we ever say we would marry An Yu?" Ji Xiuxu was so angry that he kicked Deng Qiqi again.

Deng Qiqi was surprised and turned to look at Ji Qinqin.

Ji Qinqin understood that Deng Qiqi had been tricked by Ji Yunchu, and she nodded in silence.

"Duke, I really didn't know about this. If I knew that the Emperor had granted the marriage, I... I would never dare to provoke Ji Anyu." Deng Qiqi explained hurriedly.

He was smart all his life, but he was careless and was deceived by Ji Yunchu.

Ji Xiuxu saw that Deng Qiqi did not look fake, so he asked Daduan to find out who booked the room.

In the next room, Shen Jing was annoyed that Ji Yunchu tricked Deng Qiqi into having an affair with Ji Anyu.

"Let someone else take Ji Yunchu's position as Crown Princess!"

"Oh, no, I hope she can be the Crown Princess." Ji Anyu stuffed a grape into Shen Jing's hand.

"Ji Yunchu almost hurt you badly, why do you favor her?"

"I'm not biased towards her. I just think that the prince and Ji Yunchu are a perfect match. It would be a pity to separate them." Ji Anyu said with a sly smile.

Seeing that Ji Anyu was holding back on evil, Shen Jing couldn't help laughing and lightly pinched Ji Anyu's chin.

"I can't let Deng Qiqi have an easy time. He wants to get close to Nanhou Mansion, but I won't let him do that!"

"You can't touch Deng Qiqi either."

Shen Jing looked at Ji Anyu straight in the eye, "Little fox, what do you want to do?"

"I just let them suffer the consequences of their own actions." Ji Anyu handed Shen Jing a glass of fruit wine.

"Just now I smelled a familiar fragrance from the incense burner in that room. Ah Jing, do you know the owner of Jinghua Tower? I want to take away the fruit wine that Ji Yunchu bought at Jinghua Tower."

"You suspect that the mixture of fruit wine and the contents of the incense burner can poison a person?"

"Well, I only smelled the smell in the incense burner. I didn't feel any discomfort. The pot of fruit wine was very strange. I don't know if Ji Yunchu poisoned it. Anyway, let's take it to the doctor first."

Shen Jing nodded, "Zhusha will do it."

"Ajing, you're such a nice person." Ji Anyu smiled and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into Shen Jing's bowl.

Shen Jing's eyes fell on the ribs in the bowl, and a sweet and bitter smile appeared on his face.

"You only show me kindness when you ask me for help."

"Of course not!" Ji Anyu said calmly, "I saw that you are thin, and the ribs are delicious, so I picked them up for you to try."

Shen Jing smiled faintly, picked up the bowl, picked up the ribs, put them in his mouth and took a bite.

He doesn't like sweet and sour things, and this dish was originally ordered for Ji Anyu.

"It tastes good indeed." He looked at Ji Anyu gently, his eyes moved to a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, and reached out to put them next to Ji Anyu.

"Yeah, I think it's good too!" Ji Anyu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth to chew.

On the other side, Daduan asked the shopkeeper and the waiter questions and reported back to Ji Xiuxu.

"My Lord, the wing was reserved by the eldest lady, who left Jinghua Tower about an hour ago."

Ji Xiuxu's face darkened, "Yunchu is getting bolder and bolder, she doesn't even take me seriously."

He couldn't help but think of the fact that his father was poisoned by Ji Yunchu, and he vaguely regretted his decision to protect Ji Yunchu.

"Let's go back to the Duke's Mansion."

As soon as Ji Xiuxu arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he immediately ordered someone to call Ji Yunchu to his side. In order to avoid embarrassment, he and Ji Yunchu were left in the room.

Ji Yunchu bowed obediently, "Dad, what do you want from me?"

"Where were you an hour ago?" Ji Xiuxu looked at Ji Yunchu with a serious face.

"I went to the street to look at rouge and powder."

Suddenly there was a snapping sound, and Ji Yunchu trembled in fear. Seeing Ji Xiuxu slapping his hands on the table, Ji Yunchu's eyes flashed. "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you know how much trouble you got into?"

"My daughter doesn't know, please tell me clearly, Dad." Ji Yunchu hid in her sleeves and clenched her hands.

"You knew that the emperor had already granted An Yu a marriage, but you still instigated Deng Qiqi to provoke An Yu. In the end, the girl from the Nanhou Mansion was bullied by Deng Qiqi. Look at the good things you have done!"

Ji Yunchu was shocked. Why was Wei Yanyue in Jinghua Tower?

For a moment, she secretly hated herself for being tricked by Ji Anyu and wondered how to appease Wei Luoyan.

"Ji Yunchu, our Duke's Mansion treats you well. You want the position of Crown Princess, and the Duke's Mansion is willing to lend you a helping hand. An Yu has already left the Duke's Mansion, so why do you always pick on her? Ahem…"

Ji Xiuxu covered his mouth and coughed excitedly, blood flowing all over his palms.

"From now on, you will be confined to Meihua Courtyard and are not allowed to leave the courtyard until you get married."

Ji Yunchu suppressed the fluctuations in her eyes and bowed her head obediently to admit her mistake.

"I understand. My daughter always listens to her father."

Ji Xiuxu looked tired and waved his hand to signal Ji Yunchu to go out.

You old man, you forced me to do this.

Ji Yunchu glanced at Ji Xiuxu with hatred in her eyes. After leaving Ji Xiuxu's yard, she turned a corner and slipped onto a small path and ran to the kitchen.

"Dad, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born at the wrong time and offending others." She took out the medicine hidden in her sleeve and poured it all into the medicine jar.

I don't want to wait any longer. Giving the medicine little by little is too slow.

After finishing everything, Ji Yunchu walked towards Meihuayuan from the small path.

"Um..." A big hand covered Ji Yunchu's mouth and dragged Ji Yunchu into the bushes.

"Miss, why are you playing tricks on me?" Deng Qiqi had a dark face and glared at the girl under him.

Ji Yunchu said in panic.

"I didn't lie to you. At that time, I didn't know that the emperor had granted marriage to my sister. Cousin, I kindly introduced my sister to you and invited you to have dinner at Jinghua Tower. Jinghua Tower is the best restaurant in the capital. I spent a lot of money. Why are you biting me back?"

Deng Qiqi's anger subsided a little. "Why didn't you come back after you left? If you had come back to take a look, I wouldn't have mistaken Miss Wei for Ji Anyu. I almost died in the hands of Master Wei today."

Ji Yunchu secretly cursed Deng Qiqi for being stupid and blaming her.

"Cousin, I had good intentions. I just wanted you to get along well. You were uncomfortable when I was around you. I sincerely hope you can be my brother-in-law."

Deng Qiqi's expression softened, "Miss, since you are so kind, please help me again. I will go to Nanhou Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow. Can you help me get some betrothal gifts?"

Ji Yunchu almost couldn't control her emotions and rolled her eyes at Deng Qiqi, then she smiled gently.

"Okay, it's a small matter. Can you let me go first? I'll go back to Meihuayuan and help you think of a solution."

"Well, thank you, Miss." A cunning smile flashed across Deng Qiqi's face, and then he kindly helped Ji Yunchu up.

“Waiting for good news”

Ji Yunchu forced a smile and watched Deng Qiqi leave. When Deng Qiqi disappeared from her sight, she spat.

Such a person would never take a penny from her, and she would never help Deng Qiqi even if she died.

That bitch Ji Anyu actually noticed her plan, what a pity for her expensive spices.

At this time, Ji Anyu was studying the incense burner and fruit wine.

“It tastes exactly like I remember it.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Jing lowered his head and smelled it, and his abdomen instantly felt hot.
