Ye Jinsu carried the basket and walked over. She picked up a piece of broken orange and handed it over to them one by one.

Some of the hands were only a little rotten, while others were all rotten.

Everyone looked at Ye Jinsu in fear, not understanding what she meant. Did he want to poison all of them?

After sending it out, Ye Jinsu walked back to the group. She said, "I originally wanted to give everyone a taste of the fresh one, but I really can't wait to taste the tangerine. I didn't expect it to be not as fresh anymore."

"However, it's not that much of a problem. The important part is that I'm very interested in it. Why don't you all try it?" Ye Jinsu suggested with a smile.

No one took Ye Jinsu's suggestion seriously, except Ye Jinsu herself.

In their hands, this item was already a hot potato, so losing it wasn't as good as losing it. Not only that, but they also noticed that out of the more than thirty people present, some were absent!

And now, those who did not have oranges in their hands, instead of rejoicing, were panicking even more.

What was Ye Jinsu hinting at? Wanting to separate from this group of people?

Those who had nothing in their hands were either the thirteenth prince or the king of the Qi Kingdom. Why were all of them the only ones who managed to escape this calamity?

Ye Jinxiu looked at everyone with different expressions. After a moment of silence, she reminded them, "Are you guys afraid that I'll poison you?"

Ye Jinsu's tone sank, her tone carrying a hint of sternness.

Someone was so scared that his legs went soft again as he shook his head, "No, no, no, why …" "How could that be …"

Some boldly pointed to those who had nothing in their hands, and asked the question that puzzled them, "Why didn't they?"

Many people were startled by these words.

This courage was too great.

Ye Jinsu only revealed a thoughtful smile and raised her eyebrows in silence for a moment. In the end, Ye Jinsu calmly said, "Of course …" "You have to be considerate of your feelings."

After saying that, Ye Jinsu didn't continue speaking and just remained silent.

However, the crowd was in an uproar!

No one was an idiot. Everyone already understood what Ye Jinxiu meant. In a split-second, the atmosphere in the hall began to change. The people who had things in their hands started to gather a bunch, vigilantly looking at the bunch who had nothing in their hands.

Those who were empty-handed had all sorts of expressions.

Some were shocked, some were thinking, and some were angry and anxious!

Some of them were clear-headed and were certain that Ye Jinsu was throwing dirty water on them. Since when did they have a favor with Ye Jinsu?

And there were some people who didn't know their man's position in the court. Hearing Ye Jinsu say such words, they began to suspect if their man truly had a favor to him …

In short, Ye Jinsu's simple sentence had turned everyone's minds upside down.

Only the Concubine Xian, who was standing at the side, gave Ye Jinsu another deep look. She couldn't help but walk up to her and ask, "Aren't you afraid that they will hate you for doing this?"

Ye Jinxiu tilted her head and looked at Consort Xian as she said indifferently, "If esteemed wangfei didn't think I would do that, wouldn't they hate me?"

Consort Xian did not speak.

Whatever, let her be.

With a sigh, she turned around and knelt in front of the Buddha statue and started chanting.

As for Ye JinSu, she quietly looked at them and interrupted their mutual suspicions. She reminded them once again, "If you don't eat this orange, will it taste bad?"

"Or could it be that everyone is looking down on my Tangerine and doesn't want to give me a reward?" Ye Jinsu asked.

Hearing Ye Jinsu's words, it seemed like she was really going to force them to eat this rotten orange. Everyone's faces turned even uglier. Not to mention whether there was poison in it or not, this was a rotten orange. How could they eat it?

However, Ye Jinsu pointed out the deer in front of everyone and insisted on forcing them to eat the tangerine.

They had no other choice.

Some cowards were so scared that they started to cry. They didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately stuffed their hands into their mouths to swallow the tangerines. The rotten orange gave off a rotten stench. The moment it entered his mouth, it made him feel nauseous and bitter all over.

But even so, no one dared to puke. Everyone was a relative of the court officials, and they were all rich and powerful, but now they wanted to eat this rotten orange.

The insufferable taste and the humiliation they felt made many people swallow their tears.

More than 30 people in the huge buddhist hall began to cry, their wails spreading outside. The people fighting suddenly stopped. Ye Jinsu walked out of the hall and looked at the scene outside.

The fight had already started in the courtyard, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. Fresh blood flowed all over the ground.

On one side was the uninterrupted sound of wailing, and on the other side was the constant sounds of fighting outside the hall.

Ye Jinsu stood in the middle and looked at the leader among them. With an ice-cold expression, she said, "Generals, your wives and daughters are all in my hands."

Everyone stopped what they were doing as the expression on their faces became more and more furious.

The weeping that came from the palace hall made them feel as if their hearts were on fire.

Ye Jinxiu merely shot a cold glance at them before reaching out her hand to pat them twice. A group of people appeared from all around, and they actually poured oil all over the walls of the buddhist palace hall.

"What are you trying to do!" The leader of the generals widened his eyes as he glared furiously at Ye Jinsu.

The smell of oil began to fill the air, spreading all the way to the house.

Everyone smelled this smell and their fear reached its peak. A sharp scream and crying echoed in the hall. Her voice was miserable, and everyone present revealed an expression of being unable to bear it.

Ye JinSu quietly sat down in her chair with a fire piston in her hand. She smiled and said, "Generals, if you don't want your own wife and daughter to die here, then get your men to leave."

Her voice was clear and cold in the cold wind, carrying an unquestionable fierceness. The young general in the lead hesitated, the hand holding the sword hanging down, a trace of humiliation on his face.

He was a dignified cavalry general, a seven foot tall man, yet he had been threatened by a woman!

This was an extraordinary shame and humiliation!

Ye Jinsu looked at her with satisfaction and smiled. He put away the fire piston and said, "As long as the generals cooperate, your families and families will be fine. Don't worry."

"When are you going to release them?" The British general questioned Ye Jinsu.

"Don't worry, I'll just ask the ladies to stay inside for a while. When the time comes, I'll naturally release them." Ye Jinsu said lightly, not caring about the threat in his tone.

It was now her turn to take the initiative.

With a bang, the enraged British general actually threw the saber in his hand. Ye Jinxiu glanced at him and saw him glare at her. He actually changed the direction in which he was riding and rode all the way out.

Ye Jinsu narrowed her eyes and sat up straight.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard once again. Ye Jinsu stood up from her chair. All she could see was that there was an additional person beside the cavalry general.
