While speaking, Xiao Sui passed the wild game to Shi Jinchen, but did not see Shi Jinchen move for a long time. Only now did he remember, Shi Jinchen could not see! In the past few days, he had always left after bringing in food in. Occasionally, he would chat with Shi Jinchen and not eat with him.

Shi Jinchen's tip nose caught a whiff of the fragrance, making his complexion look a little better. He ordered Xiao Sui to take the dishes and put them into his bowl, and just as he was about to stuff them into his mouth, he suddenly frowned. A haze flashed across his eyes, "Wait!"

Just as Xiao Sui was about to retreat to the side and leave, he was immediately shocked by the sound of Shi Jinchen!

"Give the silver hairpin on your head to This King!"

Xiao Sui did not understand, and obediently passed the normal silver hairpin to Shi Jinchen.

Just as Shi Jinchen was fumbling with the silver hairpin and inserting it into the sumptuous dish, just as he was about to ask, he saw Shi Jinchen raise his forefinger in front of his lips, gesturing for him to be silent.

Shi Jinchen called for Xiao Sui to come forward, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Take a look at this silver hairpin for this king!"

He was very close to the Xiao Sui and his warm breath was by the side of Xiao Sui's ear. It was a little itchy, causing his Xiao Sui to be especially unwell. But Xiao Sui was also an intelligent being, he instantly understood Shi Jinchen's intentions. Nodding his head, he accepted the silver hairpin and carefully examined it.

In the light of the night, Xiao Sui could see that his silver hairpin had been smeared with some oil. However, the silver hairpin was still the same as before, without any changes.

Xiao Sui let out a light breath. The cautious look in her Shi Jinchen scared her for a moment. She really thought that someone would take advantage of them, but now that she saw this silver hairpin that did not change at all, she felt that her Shi Jinchen was too careful.

Perhaps because he felt the relaxed breath of the person beside him, Shi Jinchen understood that the dishes in front of him were not poisonous, but he was still a little worried.

At first, he thought that it was because his eyes were injured and he was depressed, but he had always been careful with his Shi Jinchen, coupled with the fact that he had a crown prince by his side, he had to be on guard. That was why he became suspicious and decided to try out the dish.

If there really was nothing in the dishes, then he would be able to ask for peace of mind even if he worried too much.

Shi Jinchen rubbed his somewhat exhausted forehead, "Let's try out that wild game."

The Xiao Sui was a little helpless, and did as he was told, inserting the silver hairpin into the wild meat that was emitting a pungent smell. After pulling it out, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were only two people gobbling down the food, and at the same time dissipate the grievances that he had accumulated these days.

Unexpectedly, when she glanced at the silver hairpin, she was shocked and almost cried out!

The end of the silver hairpin had long been dyed a faint black. It was incompatible with its original color, making it look extremely dazzling!

This dish was poisonous!

Xiao Sui was extremely surprised and his breathing became erratic. The Shi Jinchen beside him naturally sensed his presence, and whispered in a suppressed voice, "Don't be nervous!"

He had only wanted to give it a try, but now, he was even more worried!

Xiao Sui covered his mouth, trying his best to not let himself cry out.

How could this be?! The wild game was ordered by the crown prince and specially prepared for delivery. Could it be …

Xiao Sui could only feel his heart pounding heavily, he was unable to believe it no matter how hard he tried. The Crown Prince looked gentle and refined. He was very polite to others and did not seem like someone who would secretly do evil things.

"Fourth Prince, what should we do now?"

Shi Jinchen unconsciously buckled up his middle finger, and lightly rapped it on the table, producing a light and rhythmic sound. After a long while, she finally smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry …" This King will definitely give an explanation for this matter! "

It was obvious that Shi Jinchen's voice was very soft, but Xiao Sui inexplicably felt a cold chill scurry up from the side, causing her to uncontrollably tighten the clothes on her body.

If Shi Jinchen guessed right, then since there was someone who intentionally wanted to poison him, then he would pay attention to any movements here at all times and reveal himself sooner or later. The best way now was naturally to not change anything.

Logically speaking, since the Crown Prince didn't come out of his room for the past few days, he shouldn't have noticed anything strange. But he had forgotten the meaning of Shi Jinchen.

Perhaps the crown prince was suspicious of his actions of staying in the room for the past few days and guessed that he was injured. That was why he wanted to test the waters.

The atmosphere inside the house was heavy, and it was extremely quiet outside.

Xiao Sui stared fixedly at the silver hairpin that had gone black, as if he had not regained his senses for a long time. Everything had happened too quickly for her to be prepared. He secretly clenched his fists and pressed his nails into his palms, causing his Xiao Sui to calm down quite a bit.

Her thoughts and Shi Jinchen unintentionally matched each other, and after she calmed down, her eyes actually shone brightly, and her entire person emitted a completely different aura than before, causing the Shi Jinchen not far away to be in a daze.

In another room.

Under the dim light, a tall and straight man stood with his hands behind his back. Half of his face was hidden by his hair. Under the mottled lighting, it seemed somewhat strange.

If he went a little closer, he would be able to see that the man had a face as warm as jade. His pitch-black eyes, however, had a tinge of gloom that didn't quite match his appearance.

A person suddenly barged in from the outside and knelt behind the man with a thump. He lowered his voice and said, "Crown Prince, there's no sound from inside the room!"

No movement?

With a wave of his hand, the man behind him immediately understood what was going on and followed closely behind him, heading towards the room where Shi Jinchen was located.

The footsteps got closer and closer. The Xiao Sui could be heard clearly, all of her energy was focused on the people who were coming in, causing her to feel that the person who came in was a bit impatient and a bit impatient.

The door was opened by a creaking sound, and what entered his line of sight was Shi Jinhan's warm jade-like face.

Once the Shi Jinhan entered, he immediately focused his gaze on the Shi Jinchen that was sitting cross-legged inside the room. After scanning back and forth, he discovered that the Shi Jinchen was still sitting properly, and the food in front of him had not been used at all. His expression darkened for a moment, and he quickly revealed a smile, "Fourth Brother."

Shi Jinchen sat there, his eyes fixated on the dishes in front of him. Even though he could not see anything, he was still focused, and did not speak.

"In the past few days, Fourth Brother hasn't come out to eat with everyone. I was worried that Fourth Brother wasn't feeling well or was injured somewhere, so I deliberately came to see Fourth Brother."

Since the Shi Jinchen was not responding, the crown prince naturally could not stay silent and continued to speak, "I knew that Fourth Brother loved to eat the wild game in the mountain since he was young, so I specially ordered some people to call for us yesterday."

While saying that, the crown prince paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the tableware placed in front of Shi Jinchen, and asked puzzledly, "Are these things not compatible with Fourth Brother's taste? "Why hasn't Fourth Brother moved at all?"

Xiao Sui stood at the side, his head lowered, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes, as he waited to see the two play chess.
