Instantly, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince's eyes lit up at the same time, shining brightly as they looked around.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and today's guests were all powerful and influential figures in the court. Who would poison her, the Crown Prince, and the Xuanwu Marquis's family for no reason?

This is outrageous and terrifying.

Ying Yufu hurriedly asked, "Xiao Dian, besides me, the Crown Prince, and the Xuanwu Marquis's family, were there any other guests' cups or food poisoned?" Ying Yufu was mainly worried that others might also have been poisoned.

This represents nearly half of the court officials and nobles of Beixuan; if anything goes wrong, the sky will truly fall.

"Don't worry, host. The poisoner only targeted you, the Crown Prince, and the Xuanwu Marquis's family. Everyone else is safe," Xiao Dian said.

That's good.

Ying Yufu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Xiao Dian, do you know who the poisoner is?"

[Host, why don't you try to find this out yourself? It's quite interesting.]

In her mind, Little Crazy flew over, cupped his face in his hands, and said excitedly.

Ying Yufu immediately became interested as well.

Beside him, the crown prince's eyes also gleamed with a look of inquiry.

Catch the murderer!

Ying Yufu's fair fingertips pinched the small, exquisite jade wine cup in front of her. The wine in the cup was a light red color, beautiful and exuding a sweet aroma.

At the head of the table, Marquis Xuanwu was in high spirits. He stood up from his seat with a beaming smile and raised his wine cup:

"Thank you all for gracing my home today. My beloved son, lost for many years, has finally returned. I am overjoyed. This first toast is to my colleague who is now the heir apparent!"

As he spoke, Marquis Xuanwu brought the wine cup to his lips and tilted his head back to drink it.

He wanted to drink, so Zhong Zigui naturally picked up his glass as well, glanced shyly at the guests, and prepared to tilt his head back and drink.

Ying Yufu: You can't drink that!

In her haste, she jumped up from her seat.

Her action immediately drew everyone's attention, and all eyes turned to her.

Ying Yufu was also holding a wine glass.

Everyone's eyes immediately showed a strange expression.

What does Princess Anguo mean by this?

Is she trying to steal the spotlight?

The Marquis of Xuanwu was offering a toast when she suddenly stood up. How strange!

Ying Yufu felt embarrassed as everyone stared at her.

Marquis Xuanwu was not annoyed. Instead, he looked over with a smile and asked, "Princess Anguo, do you have something to say?"

Zhong Zigui also looked over.

Ying Yufu was getting anxious and was thinking about what to say when the Crown Prince next to her suddenly stood up as well.

All eyes turned to the Crown Prince.

Then the Crown Prince said, "I know what Princess Anguo wants to say."

Ying Yufu immediately looked at him: "Quickly, tell me what I want to say."

The Crown Prince met her gaze and saw the pleading look in her dark, bright eyes. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Princess Anguo means that she has fine wine and wishes to invite Marquis Xuanwu and everyone else to drink together!"

Ying Yufu stared wide-eyed at the Crown Prince. Did she have good wine?

How come she didn't know?

Is this what she wanted to say?

Xiao Dian: [Host, the Crown Prince is truly a great help! There's fine wine in the shop, buy it quickly! Once you've bought the fine wine, replace the poisoned wine!]

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up. Yes, that's what we should do!

【Xiao Dian, what good wines do you have? Preferably ones that don't cost too many points!】 Ying Yufu asked Xiao Dian.

Xiao Dian: [Yes, host, it's not advisable to drink strong liquor here. Buy fruit liquor instead. Don't you like orange candy? Buy orange liquor!]

One bottle costs 20 points. If you buy ten bottles, it's barely enough for these people to share one!

Ying Yufu was stunned when she heard that one bottle was worth 20 points, and ten bottles would be worth 200 points.

Why did I have to spend 200 points for no reason?

The light in Ying Yufu's eyes went out instantly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Little Dian, I won't buy ten bottles, I'll just buy one!"

Xiao Dian: [Very good, not wasting points is a good habit. Host, you should continue to cultivate this excellent habit!]

[Ding! Orange wine purchase successful, totaling 20 points. Adding the Star Fruit I bought for Emperor Cangxuan last time, and the 100 orange candies you bought, the host has spent a total of 380 points, with a remaining balance of 9782 points!]

In front of everyone, Ying Yufu reached into her sleeve, pretending to take something out, but in reality, she took out a glass bottle from her system space.

The bottle was only the size of a palm, but it was made of glass with diamond facets that sparkled.

With its crystal-clear orange liquid, it's absolutely gorgeous!

The atmosphere at the scene fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, there was a gasp.

What a nice view!

Ying Yufu herself was stunned.

She hadn't expected the orange wine to look so good!

Gudong!

I don't know who it was, but I heard someone swallowing hard.

Ying Yufu looked up and met the gaze of the Duke of Lin, who was staring intently at the wine in her hand.

Ying Yufu felt a chill run down her spine, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

Then Duke Lin laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is indeed fine wine! Just looking at it, it's extraordinary, like nectar or orange crystal. It must taste quite unique!"

As he spoke, he swallowed again. Although he tried his best to hide it, Ying Yufu still saw it.

Duke Lin then looked at Marquis Xuanwu, "Marquis Xuanwu, since Princess Anguo has such fine wine, why don't you drink from your cup? Why don't you share some of Princess Anguo's wine with everyone?"

Immediately, many people who coveted the wine in Ying Yufu's hands urged Marquis Xuanwu to let everyone taste Princess Anguo's wine.

But some people frowned.

"This Princess Anguo is extremely rude! How could she be so disrespectful? Isn't this a blatant attempt to usurp the host's place?"

"Exactly! Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she's engaged to the Crown Prince?"

Marquis Xuanwu was not angry. In his view, Ying Yufu was their family's benefactor. As long as Ying Yufu did not kill someone on the spot, she could do whatever she wanted.

So Marquis Xuanwu asked with a smile, "Princess Anguo, may I tell you the name of this wine? It looks very delicious and precious."

Ying Yufu said, "This wine is a kind of fruit wine, which the Mu family obtained from overseas. It is called orange wine."

As she spoke, she walked toward Marquis Xuanwu, clutching the wine bottle.

Standing behind Lady Xuanwu, Granny Guo quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the wine from Ying Yufu's arms.

"Princess, give it to this old servant."

Granny Guo said respectfully in a low voice.

Ying Yufu glanced at her, and Granny Guo had already reached out and tapped the wine bottle with both hands.

Ying Yufu didn't let go; she could clearly feel that Granny Guo was using some force to snatch the wine bottle from her hand.

This isn't right.

Ying Yufu glanced at Granny Guo without showing any emotion, and said with a smile, "Granny Guo, this wine cannot be lost. I'd better take it to the Marquis myself."

Granny Guo hesitated for a moment before letting go and stepping aside. "Alright, Princess Anguo, please."

Ying Yufu carried the wine and walked towards Marquis Xuanwu.

Then, Ying Yufu's ears twitched slightly. Her five senses were extraordinary, and she keenly sensed something extremely thin piercing the air behind her and heading towards her.

Both urgent and tiny.

Ying Yufu's eyes darkened, and her steps veered slightly. Where she had just stood, a silver needle as thin as a hair sank into the ground.

Nobody noticed.

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes. She really hadn't expected that this old nanny would have such strength.

She looked at Marquis Xuanwu with pity; his house was like a sieve!

Before she knew it, she was standing in front of Marquis Xuanwu. Instead of offering him the wine directly, she walked very close, lowered her head slightly, and whispered something while placing the wine on the table.

Marquis Xuanwu, who was admiring the wine Ying Yufu had brought over, changed his expression very quickly upon hearing the sound.

When he looked up again, he was all smiles.
