The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 1032 Confused (2)
"Send it in!" Chu Qiyan hadn't answered yet, but Li Lin spoke first.

"Yes!" The guard responded, pushed open the door from the outside, and came in with a tray.

A bowl of porridge on top, plus two plates of refreshing vegetarian dishes.

"It was sent by the monks from the kitchen of the monastery. The son is still ill, so he must not treat his body harshly." Li Lin said, his tone sincere.

Chu Qiyan stared at the food on the table, but she never moved, she just curled the corner of her lips with a half-smile and said: "These things are made by the cook in the temple?"

"Yes!" The guard replied, and quickly added, "This subordinate has already experienced it, and there is no problem. Please rest assured to eat."

Then Chu Qiyan picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl twice, and said, "Is the monk who brought the food still here? Tell him to come in."

"Yes!" The guard agreed, turned around and went out, and walked in with a young novice in a short while.

"My little monk has met the son of Prince Nanhe." The little novice put his palms together and bowed.

Chu Qiyan didn't look at him either, and just stirred the porridge in the bowl lazily, and said, "Xiangguo Temple is a temple dedicated to the royal family, and the food they eat is royal food. Could it be that you treat my son so harshly because Xunyang is here?" Diet?"

His face was calm, and he didn't see any anger, but because of his natural aura, the little novice was startled, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in a panic: "My son is serious, you are a distinguished guest in the temple. How dare the small temple neglect it? It’s just because the snow has been heavy these two days, which has delayed the shopping down the mountain, and there is not much food left in the temple, so there is no rich food to entertain you. It’s the same for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Nanhe at night For food and drink, I ask your son to observe clearly."

"Oh? Really? Is it because of the heavy snow that closed the mountain?" Chu Qiyan said indifferently, but suddenly changed the subject and looked at him, "In this way, I have wronged you all."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The little novice quickly lowered his head and confessed again.

Chu Qiyan bent the corners of her lips, and said again: "I can do anything, but there are a lot of female relatives and distinguished guests in the temple these days, are they used to this kind of diet?"

His attitude has always been amiable.

The little novice took a sneak look at his face, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering that he and Huo Qing'er were engaged, so he became a little more courageous, and hurriedly said: "Ms. During the time I lived in the small temple, I was never picky about food. Her Royal Highness said that she was afraid that she might not be used to the food in the temple, so she prepared it in advance. Miss Luo didn’t eat dinner, so she asked her maid to use the kitchen to cook some bird’s nest Fill your hunger. The snow has stopped now, and the brothers in charge of purchasing will be able to go down the mountain tomorrow to make up for the supply.”

"That's good." Chu Qiyan said, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore, just said: "Please trouble little master, please go back first, these bowls and chopsticks, after they are used up, I will ask someone to send them back to the kitchen."

"Yes, I will take my leave." The little novice did not doubt him, turned around and walked out after giving a salute.

As soon as the others left, Li Lin's face darkened, staring at the food on the table, he said, "Miss Luo's maid has been to the kitchen, does your son suspect that she will tamper with the food?"

Luo Siyu?

Could it be that the first bait that Chu Xunyang wanted to throw out was Luo Siyu?
Chu Qiyan was expressionless, tapped her fingers on the table, pursed her lips in thought.

However, Li Lin didn't have that kind of patience. He directly cast a sharp gaze on the guard who brought in the food.

"This subordinate has indeed passed the test, and the food is absolutely non-toxic!" the guard hurriedly said, before he finished speaking, he simply gritted his teeth, walked forward, picked up the bowl of porridge, poured it down, took the plate, and poured the porridge inside. Swallow most of the green vegetables.

Chu Qiyan didn't stop him, she just concentrated on thinking about things.

The guard stood by for a long time, seeing that he was fine, Li Lin felt suspicious, so he sent him away first.

Chu Qiyan sat still for a while, and then went to bed to rest.

Li Lin ordered people to send the leftovers back to the kitchen in the temple, and everyone lived in peace.

Chu Qiyan's high fever has not subsided completely, and her whole body is sore and uncomfortable. Although she has been tired for a long time, but there are too many things on her mind, she feels a splitting headache and no sleepiness at all. She is lying on her back thinking about things, and then she hears Li Lin knocking on the door , and asked in a low voice: "My lord, are you asleep?"

Chu Qiyan frowned, turned over and sat up, put on her coat and walked over to open the door, "What?"

"Something happened." Li Lin's complexion was unkind, and he didn't go into details, and directly led him to a side room next to him.

Chu Qiyan didn't bring a maid to serve her when she went out this time, only her confidant guards, except for the guards on duty outside the yard who took turns changing shifts, and those who had free time rested in the wing rooms on both sides of the yard.

Li Lin led Chu Qiyan into the right wing.

At that time, there were five other guards in the room, all standing aside.

But on the kang directly opposite the door, there was still a person sleeping.

Because of the night vigil, the guards would sleep in their clothes at night. At that time, the guard was still wearing a guard uniform, but his whole clothes were already soaked in sweat. His man was asleep, but he was very sleepy. Unsteady, like a dream, sometimes muttering to himself, and sometimes twitching hands and feet, struggling.

The color of one face was abnormally red, and beads of sweat kept rolling down the face.

This symptom is very similar to a patient with a high fever and raving.

but--

This guard happened to be the one who had tried Chu Qiyan's dishes before.

Chu Qiyan's face was cold, she stood with her hands behind her back, and said nothing, only gave Li Lin a questioning look.

"It should be expected by the prince, there is something wrong with those meals." Li Lindao, without wasting time, "Although his symptoms seem to be high fever, his body temperature is normal. Drugs for mental disorders."

Chu Qiyan didn't say anything, just stared at the man silently for a while, then turned around and picked up the teapot from the table next to him, and poured the already cold half pot of tea into the guard's pocket.

The ice-cold tea was poured all over his face, and the guard who was still in a deep sleep shivered several times in a row, struggled to sit up, and while touching his saber at his waist, he shouted loudly: "There are assassins!" ! Catch the assassin!"

Naturally, his saber was not on his body, and he touched it for a long time to no avail. When he turned around and saw Chu Qiyan standing in front, he was stunned for a while as if struck by lightning, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Your Majesty?" After a while, he came to his senses and hurriedly jumped off the kang.

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Chu Qiyan asked.

"No! It's just—it's just—" the guard replied, his face livid, as if he still had lingering fears about the scene in the dream, and tremblingly said: "I just had a terrible nightmare and thought of many bad things."
