The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

The team continued on without further incident for three days.

On this day, the team arrived near a town and prepared to stop and rest on the spot.

Tian Muyu asked someone to find an inn for Jixiang and the children, hoping that Jixiang could have a good rest.

He was worried that she and the children would not be able to bear the bumpy carriage for several days.

People in the town learned that the emperor's coffin was passing by, and the whole town was decorated with white flags.

For a while, the streets were lined with curtains, and it felt like a great mourning.

After the mayor ordered the people in the town not to disturb the emperor's coffin, he came to Tian Muyu without stopping.

"The mayor of Changling Town, Hou Liang, pays homage to the prince!" Hou Liang knelt down and bowed down as soon as he saw Tian Muyu.

Tian Muyu signaled him to get up, "I have no intention of disturbing the place. It's just that the princess just gave birth and cannot travel for too long, so she has to stay in the town temporarily."

"It is a blessing for the town that the prince and princess can come to the town." Hou Liang said quickly, "Although the conditions in the town are simple, as long as the prince and princess need anything, I will definitely do their best to prepare it."

Tian Muyu thought for a while, "Let the best chef in your town cook some of the best meals and deliver them to you."

"Okay, I'll get it done right now, sir!" Hou Liang agreed and got up and quickly went to find someone to prepare.

Although Grandma Yu was in charge of Tian Muyu and Jixiang's meals all the way, Tian Muyu was worried that Jixiang would get tired of eating all the food cooked by one person, so he wanted Hou Liang to prepare some delicacies to give Jixiang a change of taste.

When Jixiang got the news, she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the town was not big and there were many of them, so she didn't think anything would go wrong.

However, when the meal was brought to her, she still found that she had really thought too simply.

A total of six dishes were placed on the table, and each dish was poisoned.

When Tian Muyu saw Ji Xiang's serious face and couldn't move his chopsticks, he knew something was wrong, "Here comes someone!"

Guard Li immediately stepped forward.

"Bring all the people who cook here!"

"Yes!" Guard Li responded.

Tian Muyu then asked Jixiang, "Is there something wrong with the food?"

Ji Xiang smiled, "Where is Qi Rui?"

"It's still closed."

"I'm afraid he's already out."

Tian Muyu was startled, "It's impossible. Yesterday, Guard Li went to check it out and said that the person was dragged behind the carriage and there was no change."

"But the poison in this food is the same as the poison in the emperor. How do you explain it?"

"General Xiong!" Tian Muyu shouted outside.

Eunuch Guo hurriedly came in, "Your Majesty, General Xiong said he had left beforehand. Do you want me to send someone to call him?"

Tian Muyu thought for a while and then said, "Send someone to check on Qi Rui. If he is still there, bring him to the inn."

"Yes." Eunuch Guo also went out immediately.

Since the death of Emperor Likang, Eunuch Guo has been serving Tian Muyu.

Although he didn't want to be waited on, he couldn't resist Eunuch Guo's constant love card, saying that he had been serving the emperor all his life, and he felt like there was no one to serve him, and he felt that life was meaningless.

This made Tian Muyu feel that if he didn't let him serve, it would be like killing him, so he didn't bother to care anymore. He just stayed by his side if he wanted to, and he had one more person who he could order at any time.

Guard Li and Eunuch Guo both left, and Tian Muyu and Ji Xiang were no longer interested in eating.

The moment Grandma Yu heard that the food was poisonous, she had already taken Erya to cook.

It seems that for tonight's meal, the prince and princess will have to eat what they cooked.

Fortunately, grandma is very attentive. She prepares all kinds of ingredients at any time, just so that the masters can eat delicious food anytime and anywhere.

While Grandma was cooking, Jixiang and Tian Muyu looked at the chefs and inn boys who had been summoned by Guard Li.

Although neither of them spoke, no one dared to look directly at the majesty in their eyes.

"Tell me, who poisoned the food. Each of the six dishes was poisoned. This is not something that one person can easily accomplish."

Jixiang asked first.

No one dared to move the chef and the waiter who were kneeling on the ground. They huddled together like quails and no one spoke.

"What's the matter with what the princess asked you? Didn't you see it?"

A man in his thirties raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, I have always been in the kitchen and have never left. I really have never seen anyone poisoning the food."

Another man who looked like a boy also said, "I work for Chef Wang. These meals are all cooked by my own hands. Because the mayor has given instructions not to make any mistakes, no one else has interfered." "Prince, Princess, are you making a mistake?"

"Oh, according to what you said, doesn't it mean that no one has the chance to poison?" Jixiang took out a silver needle and tried it on a plate of vegetables. The silver needle turned black instantly.

"Well, if you're still not sure, why don't you come over and try it yourself?"

The expressions of the kneeling people suddenly changed.

Defend one by one.

"It wasn't me."

"I am only responsible for lighting the fire and have never touched the food."

"Yes, we have never had any contact with food."

Those who had not touched the food quickly retreated, leaving only the chef and his little follower kneeling in front.

"Since you haven't poisoned anyone, let's talk about whether anything strange happened in the meantime? The poison won't run into the vegetables on its own. Someone needs to do something." Jixiang said in a calm tone. Didn't make things difficult for them.

The chef and the waiter thought hard.

Suddenly the chef seemed to remember something, "My lord and princess, there seems to be something wrong with the oil today!"

Jixiang looked at Tian Muyu and said, "Let's go and have a look in the kitchen."

The problematic oil the chef mentioned was the lard in the jar.

"Because I fry the food in the inn by myself, no one would touch the jar of oil on weekdays. But when I used it today, it felt like someone had used it and it was a little messy. I thought It was our boss who was hungry while we were away and cooked the food himself, so he didn’t take it seriously.”

Jixiang picked up the jar, looked at it, smelled it, and smiled, "He is indeed a smart man with a good brain." He handed the jar to the chef and said, "Put it away first, the oil in this jar can no longer be used. "

"Is the oil really poisonous?" The chef was shocked.

"Have you used this oil to cook for others?"

The chef's face turned pale and he ran out.

But his speed could obviously no longer keep up with the changes in things. At this time, the innkeeper was already frothing at the mouth and fell into his room.

On the table, the two plates of food were half eaten.

The chef's legs trembled with fear, and he knelt down in front of Ji Xiang and Tian Muyu, "Please save the little one, please. I really don't want to harm my boss."
