Chapter 150 - Toxicity of Tea (1)

Ah Mu jumped down from the bed and looked at the spilled tea on the floor. He quickly took out some powder from the Storage Ring and sprinkled it into the tea. A moment later, a faint blue color could be seen within the tea.

He suddenly said, "Grandfather, there's poison in this tea."

After Chunyu Hong found out about the poison in the tea, he asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

He said this in a very strange manner. When a normal person heard that something they had drunk had been poisoned, their first reaction would be to ask angrily, "Who was the one who poisoned it?"

But he asked how Ah Mu knew.

It could be seen that he was more interested in who Ah Mu knew who had poisoned the tea.

Ah Mu was still too young, he did not immediately discover the abnormality of the tea. If it was Jin Yulie or Mu Wanjun, they would have definitely realized that something was amiss.

Ah Mu said: "This is the powder given to me by Mummy, she said that this can test whether the item is poisonous, if it is, the powder will change color, and you can see the intensity of the poison from its color." After carefully examining the light blue powder in the tea, he said, "This poison isn't particularly strong. It's a chronic poison."

He had always loved to play and be a miser. Mu Wanjun knew his own son well, so, ever since he was a child, he had always been able to keep up with his knowledge and education.

As expected, it worked now.

After Ah Mu finished speaking, he did not hear any movement from behind him, "Grandfather Chun?" When he turned around, he found that Chunyu Hong was no longer behind him.

Behind him was only a servant about the same age as Chunyu Hong.

Chunyu Hong also did not know where he went, but he specifically left an old servant to serve Ah Mu.

Ah Mu was always smart and sensible, he knew that it was best to not say anything at this time, and went to lie on the bed by himself. Just as he laid on the bed, Qu Ning came out from his bun, "Qu Ning, did you see that?"

Qu Ning whispered into his ear, "I saw everything just now."

"Do you think I said something wrong?"

"No, you can rest easy."

"Why is Grandpa Pure like this?"

"That's because he actually knows who poisoned him?"

"Who is it?"

"Stupid Ah Mu, who came in just now?"

"You mean the Queen?"

"Is little Ah Mu asleep?" Chunyu Hong stood under the moonlight with his hands behind his back. The clear light of the snow fell on him.

The old servant bowed and replied, "I went to sleep early in the morning, but I can see that little gongzi is very smart, I think he should be able to guess that."

"Then don't let him guess, I don't want Jin Yulie to know yet."

The old servant nodded his head and retrieved a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. He respectfully and carefully handed it over to Chunyu Hong, "Your Majesty, this was left here by State Duke of Jin before he left. This year, Queen also brought some tea for you, you should drink it."

Chunyu Hong could not help but sneer, his eyes were bitter and helpless. He took the small porcelain bottle and opened the lid, and a sweet and fishy smell wafted into his nose.

He stared at the red liquid in the bottle in a daze. After a while, he flipped his wrist and poured the liquid on the ground. The weather was unusually cold, and the red liquid fell into the snow, instantly solidifying into crystal red ice.

The old servant looked anxious. "Your Majesty …"

Chunyu Hong looked at the frozen liquid on the ground. His eyes flashed with an abnormal light as he stuffed the bottle into the old servant's palm. "No need. I didn't drink the tea just now …"

The next day, when Ah Mu woke up from his sleep, he stretched lazily. He was so comfortable that he moaned. If it wasn't for sleeping, everyone would sleep on top of it!

He was alone in the room.

The attendants seemed to be waiting outside, and in order not to wake him, he saw that they were all tiptoeing.

He thought about it for a moment, then tiptoed over.

At his age, he was in his naughty days. He walked over, intending to scare the young palace maid outside. These two palace maids were very young, and were only around thirteen years old. Chunyu Hong had specially brought them to serve Ah Mu.

When Ah Mu walked in, he heard them chit-chatting.

"Have you heard? Today, the palace maid, Xiao Die, has died in Queen Palace."

Xiao Die is the most beloved maid by the Queen Empress' side, and can be said to be one of her most trusted aides. I even saw her with the Queen yesterday, why did she suddenly die?

When Ah Mu heard this, he also lost his interest in playing around. He hid behind the door quietly and listened to what they were talking about.
