Chapter 536 Sure enough
Besides, since Li Yuanbai dragged her out with the excuse of wanting to get to know her better, he should really care about himself.

She, Huo Qiqi, is not a casual person at all. Of course, when she really wants to be casual, she is not a person at all.

At any rate, Li Yuanbai had known Huo Qiqi for a long time. Seeing the sly look in Huo Qiqi's eyes, he already guessed what Huo Qiqi was thinking.

"This restaurant is not as good as Zuixianlou or Yunkelai, but there are a few side dishes that you can barely eat." He explained with a light smile, and then announced the names of several dishes.

These few dishes were indeed Huo Qiqi's favorite ingredients. Obviously, he did understand Huo Qiqi's preferences carefully beforehand.

However, Huo Qiqi didn't seem to appreciate his intentions very much, because Li Yuanbai saw a little anger in her eyes.

"You're a bit picky." Li Yuanbai didn't seem to care about her sudden anger, he explained casually, "Every time you eat, you always pick those dishes."

So it turned out that she really cared about her, instead of sending someone to monitor her deliberately.Huo Qiqi's expression finally eased, and the smile on his face became more normal.

The woman felt a needle in the bottom of her heart, and Li Yuanbai heaved a sigh of relief.

After getting along with Huo Qiqi for a long time, he also figured out Huo Qiqi's temperament.

Qiqi seems to be smiling kindly towards everyone, but in fact she is very vigilant towards others.Li Yuanbai has observed that only when she faces someone she truly accepts, does the smile on her face really come from the heart.

But to ordinary people, she maintains this kind of polite smile, seemingly friendly but very alienated.

Furthermore, when facing people she hates, the smile in her eyes is never in the bottom of her eyes, and the smile will also carry a hint of sarcasm.

Li Yuanbai knew very well that due to his special status, he was very unfortunate that he hadn't been promoted to become a family member that Huo Qiqi truly accepted in his heart.

But he is not in a hurry, there will be a long time to come, Qiqi will see his feelings for her one day.

Xiao Er served the dishes very quickly, and within a short while, the table was filled with all kinds of dishes.

Huo Qiqi focused on the dishes on the table, observed for a while, and rated the dishes on the table in his heart.The appearance is not good, let's try the taste again, um, Li Yuanbai really didn't lie to her, the taste is not bad, a little bland, but it surprisingly highlights the original flavor of the ingredients.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Li Yuanbai smiled a little more on his face.

"Master, I've bought something." Just as Huo Qiqi was enjoying his meal, a pair of twins walked in.

Huo Qiqi knew these two people, they were Chi Yun and Jing Lei among the four guards around Li Yuanbai.

When Chi Yun came in, he was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and the same was in Jing Lei's hand.

"Click on it." Li Yuanbai ordered lightly.

After Chi Yun and Jing Lei heard the order, they quickly opened the cloth bag and took out the contents.

Huo Qiqi glanced curiously, and found that what they took out was a small incense burner and some spices.

After seeing something clearly, she immediately lost interest.

Rich families in ancient times liked to use incense. The more noble their status, the better the spices they used. Unexpectedly, an old antique like Li Yuanbai knew how to create a romantic atmosphere.

It's just that this guy is so attentive, he doesn't know how big he is asking for later.

However, when the real spice was lit, Huo Qiqi's expression suddenly changed. "Pinch off."

Li Yuanbai looked at her with a faint smile.

Huo Qiqi glared at him angrily, this guy really didn't have good intentions, he didn't invite her to dinner sincerely.

Li Yuanbai waved his hand, and Chi Yun immediately changed the spices in the incense burner, and then switched to another spice and lit it.

Huo Qiqi put down his chopsticks, frowning and watching his movements.

"The spices in the stove are tributes from the palace." Li Yuanbai said softly with a smile, "The former spices were bought from the shop opposite. Recently, many big families in the capital bought spices from this shop. very popular in China.”

This is waiting for Huo Qiqi to speak!Huo Qiqi gave him a blank look, then thought about the consequences of the spices on Dayun Country, weighed his gains and losses, and finally answered unwillingly, "Have you found out who owns the shop?"

"The merchants in the shop are old shops selling spices in the capital, but the source of supply has changed. Moreover, such spices have been sold in many shops, especially in some counties outside the capital. It took half a year." Li Yuanbai seemed to have no intention of hiding it from Huo Qiqi, "I also searched for a long time before I found out that this spice came from Nanzhao."

"How did the prince find out that the spices were not right?" Huo Qiqi stared at him and asked.

Although her attitude was serious, the person she was asking was Li Yuanbai, so relatively speaking, Huo Qiqi seemed more arrogant.

Li Yuanbai didn't care about her attitude at all, "A few days ago, the king's eyeliner sent news back that some people in the south had a strange disease. Some rich people were weak, easily angry, thin, and often yawned and cried for no reason. "

"Afterwards, as long as these people use this spice, their spirits will be lifted, their bodies will seem to have inexhaustible strength, and they will become normal again, right?" Huo Qiqi asked lazily.

Li Yuanbai nodded slowly.

This is waiting for her to explain!Huo Qiqi reluctantly turned into a confidant sister, "A spice called poppy is added to the spices. Poppy itself has a small amount of toxins, and even its medicinal value is very wide. It relieves pain, relieves diarrhea, relieves cough, relieves pain Lungs, etc., the medicine is very effective. But it is a good thing, it should not be used in large doses for a long time, otherwise, it is very easy to become addicted, and the consequences of addiction..."

Having said that, Huo Qiqi stopped laughing.

Li Yuanbai understood what she meant, and his expression became serious.

Huo Qiqi sighed, and decided to remind him more kindly, "It's easy to get addicted to this thing, but it's hard to quit. Addicted people will absorb more and more, and eventually they will not only become skinny, And lying on the bed does not want to move at all, if you stop, the poisoned person will feel from the inside to the outside, even the bones will feel like thousands of ants gnawing."

After Qingfeng Minglang and the guards heard this, their expressions changed dramatically.

If Huo Qiqi wasn't an alarmist, then the spices were simply terrible.As for the master behind the spice, his intentions are even more sinister.

"Some people in the palace also use it. The tributes from Nanzhao included this kind of spice." Li Yuanbai paused, and then told Huo Qiqi, "There are also a batch of pills that are said to prolong life."

Huo Qiqi didn't comment on his words, there were many imperial doctors in the palace, and it wasn't her turn to say anything.Besides, since Li Yuanbai has found her and now knows about the inappropriateness of the spices, with Li Yuanbai's personality, he will definitely not sit idly by.

Of course, Li Yuanbai should be more convenient and persuasive than her in handling this kind of matter.

"Hehe." Huo Qiqi suddenly let out a low laugh.

Li Yuanbai recovered from his contemplation, and followed her gaze to look out. Soon, his attention was also attracted by the person opposite.
