She quickly asked the Tuanzi: "Ran'er, what did you just eat? Are you okay? "

Tuanzi was chewing on a chicken leg, looking at the noisy crowd with an innocent face, "I … Mother, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly? "

It was only then that Mu Zhihuan's stone fell to the ground. "As long as you're fine, don't eat anymore, this thing has gone bad. If you eat it, you'll have diarrhea later."

As he said that, he snatched the chicken leg from Tuanzi's hands. "Wait a moment, let's eat barbecue.

Although Mu Zhihuan looked calm on the surface, she could already hear her voice trembling.

These people actually attacked so quickly, and they even used poison.

"Are you okay?"

Zhennan keenly noticed Mu Zhihuan's uneasiness, "I've observed for a bit, and only that dead official's dessert soup has been touched. The others have not had the time to drink it, or maybe none of them have."

Even under such a nervous situation, Zhennan was still able to observe all of this. Mu Zhihuan couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him, "Then what do we do now?"

Zhennan shrugged his shoulders, "We can only move. The enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open, no matter how we think about it, we are at a disadvantage."

With that said, Zhennan ran over to the old imperial physician's side and borrowed a handful of silver needles. Then he placed one on each table.

Under such a chaotic situation, there were no doubt that someone was looking at him out of curiosity.

When Zhennan placed all the silver needles onto the dessert bowls, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and all of their faces revealed unease.

This was because every single silver needle Zhennan placed in the bowl had begun to gradually turn black.

It seemed that the assassins wanted all of the high officials who joined Qiushou to die here.

"Send someone to the kitchen to check it out!"

No one knew who reacted first, but when he came over, he let out a loud roar and instantly, someone moved.

Not long later, a slightly plump man was dragged in.

From the clothes he was wearing, one could tell that he should be a chef. Jiang Zimu whispered something in front of the emperor, and then heard the emperor say in a weak voice that he was going to hand this matter over to the crown prince.

Jiang Zimu called for a man with a shield at his side to come over and protect the emperor tightly. Then, he walked down the stage and went to the kitchen man's side.

That chef was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably. Greetings Crown Prince … "

Jiang Zimu glanced at the kitchen man: "Raise your head and look at me."

The kitchen man raised his head, trembling. His lips were green and purple, and he looked like he wasn't afraid at all, "That's too …" Forgive me, Crown Prince! Small... This little one really didn't do it on purpose. "

He hadn't even started asking, but he had already admitted it?

Jiang Zimu frowned: "What crime? "Tell me honestly, what exactly happened in the kitchen?"

"Guys..." Guys... "Room?" That kitchen man was stunned. "I had to prepare in the morning. I woke up too early. After I finished my work, I went to sleep in the big tree behind the kitchen."

"When I woke up, these two guards had already caught me … About the kitchen... I don't know. "

Hearing his words, Jiang Zimu's face became ugly. He glanced at the two guards who had captured this person.

The guard immediately replied, "Back to Crown Prince, I did indeed find him on that tree. When we found him there, he was still snoring.

Jiang Zimu's face turned cold: Then did you go to the firehouse to take a look?

Another guard replied: "Back to Crown Prince, we went inside to see if there's anything …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a terrified voice: "Ah! Dead … A dead person? "

Following the direction of his voice, everyone noticed that a hand covered in blood had slipped out from the place where the stables were stocked.

The guards hurried over to clear the grass. In an instant, the entire hunting grounds seemed to have become still.

Mu Zhihuan was the first to react. He covered Tuanzi's eyes and hugged him back, "Don't look!"

Tuanzi did not know what had happened and only let out a "Oh" in a daze.

Some of the people who weren't very calm had already begun to gag with their hands covering their mouths. Five or six men lay naked in the pile of grass, each one of them dying an extremely miserable death.

That kitchen man naturally saw it too. He covered his mouth and started to cry in pain, "Master …" "Master …"

Looking at him, everyone could guess that those who had died were from the kitchen.

Before everyone could digest what had just happened, a group of people suddenly rushed forward with weapons in their hands.

Suddenly, the entire hunting grounds became extremely chaotic. Jiang Zimu quickly retreated to the side of the emperor and ordered other people to go deal with the government brutes.

But as more and more people looked like they were going to surround the entire hunting grounds, Mu Zhihuan gritted her teeth and took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to her to slip out of the hunting grounds silently.

However, before they had gone far, they heard the sound of hooves coming from the side.

Just as Mu Zhihuan was at a loss as to what to do, a pair of bony hands pulled her from the back door.

Mu Zhihuan was so shocked that she almost screamed. Seeing who it was, Mu Zhihuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhennan nodded his head: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's hide."

As he said that, he pulled Mu Zhihuan and hid in the grass. Right after the three of them hid themselves, they heard the sound of a horse's hooves galloping past their ears.

The sound of the horses' hooves continued for more than a minute. It seemed like there were quite a few people.

Mu Zhihuan and Zhennan looked at each other, they were afraid that something bad was about to happen.

After all the people had left with great difficulty, only then did Tuanzi whisper into Mu Zhihuan's ear. "Mother, can Ran'er speak now?"

Only then did Mu Zhihuan remember the order she gave to the Tuanzi not to speak. She let out a sigh in fear and nodded her head, "That's fine, but you have to lower your voice a little."

Tuanzi nodded his head obediently, "Those bad people have taken over our territory, what should we do now?"

Mu Zhihuan subconsciously wanted to find Gu Mingxuan, but in this vast forest of the Mountain Sea, where should she go to find him?

Zhennan placed his hand on his lower jaw and frowned: "Right now, the only way is to notify Jiang Zisu and the others and get them to think of a way to send more troops. Otherwise, if it's just the few of us, it won't even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
