C14 Punish all people

Heh, why isn't he moving at all?

A cold smile flashed past Shi Jinchen's eyes, but he did not reveal it on the surface, but said expressionlessly: "I will accept your good intentions, but …"

His tone suddenly became sharper, "This wild game is poisonous! I wonder why Crown Prince has specially ordered people to send over this wild game, exactly what is the meaning of this?! "

The crown prince's expression changed slightly and he blurted out, "How is this possible?!" Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about? "

"This King is spouting nonsense?" Then, I request that the Crown Prince personally come and examine it! "

Shi Jinchen's words were extremely blunt, and did not leave any leeway, causing the crown prince to have an unsightly expression, and also causing Xiao Sui, who was at the side, to be somewhat surprised.

Although Shi Jinchen had always been indifferent to the crown prince, in the end, nothing bad had always happened, and they had never used such harsh words to the crown prince. He didn't know why, at this moment …

Just as he was thinking, the Xiao Sui quietly lifted his head and swept a glance of the Shi Jinchen. Seeing the sullen look on the other party's face as though he was truly infuriated, Zhang Xuan's thoughts raced and he immediately understood what was going on.

He was doing it on purpose!

No matter how magnanimous the crown prince was, being suppressed by the Shi Jinchen in front of everyone, he was unable to keep his face straight. His expression was ugly as he ordered some people to invite the imperial physician.

Sure enough, among the sumptuous dishes, only the wild game was poisonous. Moreover, it was extremely poisonous.

Shi Jinchen had a cold face, and did not make a sound, but his entire body was emitting a threatening cold aura, which made it impossible for people to ignore his existence.

"Who dares!?" "How dare you poison my fourth brother!"

Since Shi Jinchen had yet to speak, the crown prince naturally had to speak.

The Crown Prince was furious and his voice was cold, "Who is it! Find it for This Highness! " As he said that, the crown prince waved his hand, and the bowls and plates in front of Shi Jinchen were swept to the ground, becoming a mess.

No one dared to speak a word as they saw the Crown Prince angry. Xiao Sui was also secretly shocked, as he only looked towards Shi Jinchen.

She discovered that when Shi Jinchen swept past her with the sharp force that was carried by those bowls and plates, Shi Jinchen quietly moved away. His face still did not have any additional expression, but the corner of his mouth seemed to flash with a cold smile.

No one dared to make a sound, while the crown prince appeared to be extremely furious. His gaze swept past everyone, causing them to feel a chill in their hearts.

His Xiao Sui lowered his head, and he felt the crown prince's gaze stay on him for a moment before he moved his head away, his heart sinking a little.

He had always felt that the crown prince was gentle, magnanimous, and even loved the people like children. He didn't expect that he would still underestimate him. After all, he was someone from the royal family, how could he be that easy to deal with!

Since the Crown Prince had already spoken, those who had participated in the cooking process were asked over and over again, but none of them got any answers. Everyone said that they didn't have the heart to poison, and even more so, declared that they didn't have the heart to poison.

A few of them should have been new people following along from the palace, but they were trembling in fear, their words were incomplete, they only knew how to beg for mercy, and couldn't help but turn their Xiao Sui to look.

"Since we are unable to find anything, then everyone involved must be suspected. Everyone should be locked up and served with a heavy punishment!"

When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed again and again.

The punishment of the Southern Summoning Kingdom, might cause someone to lose their life!

"Your servant really didn't poison it!" I beg Crown Prince, please spare this servant! "

"Please be merciful in Crown Prince! The servants didn't have the guts to poison the fourth prince! Please be merciful! "

Soon, all the servants who were involved knelt down and begged for mercy. They cried until their mucus ran down their noses and tears flowed down their cheeks. Some of them even kowtowed as if they didn't want to die.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Sui was stunned, he never thought that the situation would develop to this extent. Didn't they say that the Crown Prince had always been extremely good to his subordinates? Why is it that today …

Something quickly flashed through Xiao Sui's mind, and he quickly understood. Could it be …

Seeing how everyone was kowtowing pitifully and begging for forgiveness, the Crown Prince seemed to soften a little, but due to the serious situation, he couldn't make the decision himself, so he cast his questioning gaze towards the Shi Jinchen, "Fourth brother, the person who poisoned the poison might not be able to find him for a while, look …"

As if expecting that the crown prince would speak, Shi Jinchen smiled and said, "There is no need to go through so much trouble. This king believes that even if they have harmed my heart, they would not have the guts to do so!"

How could he not understand that the person who dared to poison him was standing right in front of him! First, it was a show of cherishing their little brother, and then, they were punished to vent their anger for the Shi Jinchen. This caused everyone to place all their resentment onto the Shi Jinchen. If he could return to the palace smoothly, when this matter spread, it would definitely cause his Shi Jinchen to become famous for being ruthless.

This wasn't really anything. The most important thing was, since the Shi Jinchen had already spoken, and the person who poisoned the poison couldn't be found out, then this matter could only be left to the side …

Humph, he really had a good plan!

However, who was his Shi Jinchen? How could he let the crown prince fool him so easily!

"Imperial Physician, carefully examine that wild game!" I believe that the truth will soon surface. "

The imperial physician quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the wild game once more. It was a quail, its color fresh and beautiful. It lay perfectly on the ground, stained with some dirt. However, one could still tell that the chef's skills were exquisite.

After a long while, the imperial physician stroked his white beard. "Reporting to Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, the poison in this quail spreads throughout the body, but it's not poison in the soup. So this humble official surmises that the poison must have originated from the quail itself."

From the quail itself?

Hearing that, Xiao Sui subconsciously looked towards Shi Jinchen. He felt a sneer from the corner of his lips, as if everything was under his control, thus he relaxed.

The room was completely silent. No one could understand how the quail itself could be poisoned. They looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make a sound.

After an unknown period of time, the crown prince finally broke the silence. "Zhai Lin, this quail was personally hunted by you. How are you going to explain this?"

The man who was called out immediately took a step forward, and cupped his fists as he replied, "Crown Prince, this subordinate did indeed shoot down the game himself. However, this subordinate doesn't know why it was poisonous!"

Zhai Lin didn't try to defend himself, but he also didn't take any responsibility. He just said he didn't know. It was like playing tai chi, confusing.

This calm, yet not humble, attitude caused Xiao Sui to be unable to resist taking a few more glances.

The man was born with a valiant build, and his brows were as thick as ink. He had the typical appearance of a military general.

When people of status and status traveled in the palace, they would definitely bring along servants and guards to ensure their safety. Xiao Sui guessed that this person should be of the same category, but from Zhai Lin's attitude, he seemed to be more than just a guard …
