Chu Ying and Chu Xiong are highly skilled in martial arts and loyal to His Highness, but their weakness is that they are rather rigid and sometimes even inflexible. In the past, in the capital, everyone knew that they were His Highness's men and would respect them. Now in this countryside far away from the circle of dignitaries in the capital, if they are still so rigid and rigid, they will suffer sooner or later.

Rather than suffering at the hands of outsiders, it is better to let them suffer a little at Miss Lu's hands.

Chu Ying asked in confusion: "Why does Miss Lu insist that I drink the soup?"

"If you don't drink the soup, how can you know why I want to do harm to Xiao Xiao?" Lu Ke'er sneered.

Chu Ying was already very unhappy when she called His Highness "Xiao Xiao". Seeing her provocative behavior, he felt suffocated and drank the soup without saying a word.

The soup tastes sweet and very delicious.

"Okay. I've drunk my soup. If you have any purpose, just tell me."

Lu Ke'er looked at him with pity: "Soon."

"What's coming soon?" Chu Ying said, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

The pain came suddenly and violently, and he fell to the ground in pain, his body almost bent like a shrimp. In an instant, cold sweat as big as soybeans broke out on his forehead.

Chu Xiong screamed and hurried forward: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ying pointed at Lu Ke'er, his face pale, his mouth open, but he couldn't speak.

"It was you?" Chu Xiong shouted angrily, "You poisoned me? You are such a vicious woman!"

He stood up, cupped his hands and said to Ye Feng: "I hope you will give an order to severely punish this vicious woman!"

He thought to himself that Lu Ke'er would not dare to poison him in front of everyone, and she just wanted to teach her eldest brother a lesson.

"Which eye of yours saw me poison you?" Lu Ke'er sneered, "You are just like your elder brother, you have no brains."

"you……"

Gao Yutang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and explained, "Don't you understand? The soup was poisoned. If my master hadn't knocked the spoon out of Master Xiao's hand, Master Xiao would be the one poisoned now."

Chu Xiong was stunned: "So Miss Lu found out that the soup was poisonous, so..." Seeing Chu Ying's painful look, he asked anxiously, "Miss Lu, what kind of poison is this? Is it serious?"

Lu Ke'er smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's just the heartbreak grass."

"What?" Chu Xiong's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

Chu Ying, who was rolling on the ground in pain, felt cold in his heart and filled with despair.

Gelsemium elegans is a potent poison for which there is almost no antidote.

This girl has such a cruel heart.

"You must think I'm cruel, right?" Lu Ke'er glanced at Chu Ying and snorted coldly, "But have you ever thought that if I didn't have the ability to protect myself just now, I would have died in your hands."

Chu Xiong's voice was hoarse, and tears flowed from his wide-open eyes: "But you...you can't use this method to retaliate against my brother..."

"I am a petty person." Lu Ke'er interrupted him and said coldly, "Why can't I take revenge? I have always believed that I will not offend others unless they offend me. Your eldest brother's life is a life, so is my life not a life?"

Chuxiong was speechless.

Seeing that Lu Ke'er's anger had subsided, Rong Zhixing hurriedly said, "Miss Lu, please stop teasing them and quickly detoxify them."

Chu Xiong's heart ignited with hope: "Miss Lu, are you lying to us? This poison is not the heartbreak grass, right?"

Gao Yutang shook his head: "Master never lies about medical skills. This is indeed the Heartbreak Grass."

Chuxiong was instantly overwhelmed by despair and grief.

"However, Master can cure this poison. What are you worried about?" Gao Yutang added.

Chu Xiong looked up suddenly.

Even Chu Ying, who was lying on the ground, was shocked.

Lu Ke'er said, "I can solve it. But why should I help someone who wants to harm me?"

Chu Xiong knelt down in front of her and said, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry. It's us brothers who didn't recognize the real talent. This is all our brothers' fault! Miss Lu, please be magnanimous and save my brother."

Lu Ke'er asked coldly: "Do you really know where you are wrong?"

Chuxiong: ...

"I'm telling you where you went wrong. You went wrong in jumping to conclusions without asking questions, you went wrong in not distinguishing right from wrong and wrongly accusing good people, you went wrong in doing whatever you wanted and ignoring other people's lives!"

Ye Feng glanced at Chu Xiong and said, "Why don't you thank Ke'er quickly? If she didn't want to save your brother, she wouldn't have told you these things."

Chuxiong felt both ashamed and grateful.

The lesson he learned this time was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.

"Thank you, Miss Lu."

Lu Ke'er said no more and took out the silver needle to help. In just a quarter of an hour, the toxins in Chu Ying's body were cleared.

Chu Ying could hardly believe it.

The moment before, he was still struggling on the brink of life and death, and the next moment, the pain all over his body had disappeared. Except for the fact that his body was still a little weak and tired, the pain from the poisoning just now seemed to be just a dream.

He stared at the silver needle that Lu Ke'er had just taken back, unable to hide the shock and awe in his heart.

With just a few silver needles, the poison that terrifies people all over the world can be eliminated. Looking around the world, who can do it?

"Miss Lu is a master of medicine. I admire her." Chu Ying thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life."

Zuo Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Do you know who provided the prescription that effectively prevented and treated the epidemic some time ago?"

Chu Ying had also heard some rumors among the people, saying that the biggest contributor to the prevention and control of the epidemic some time ago was a peasant girl named Lu. At that time, he was skeptical, but now he realized: "It turned out to be Miss Lu!"

"If it weren't for Miss Lu, the young master would be the one poisoned now." Zuo Yi said.

Chu Ying lowered his head in shame.

He was prejudiced and blinded by one thing. He regarded Lu Ke'er as a scheming woman who was trying to get close to a rich man, so he learned this lesson.

Cook Zhang was stunned by the series of unexpected events.

It was not until this moment that he realized: "The soup is poisonous? This... How is this possible? I made every dish here, I didn't poison it!"

With the precedent of Lu Ke'er, Chu Ying and Chu Xiong were much more cautious at this moment.

"Have these dishes been handled by anyone else?" Chu Ying asked.

Cook Zhang replied, "I am in charge of cooking all these dishes. However, others are responsible for cutting and washing the vegetables."

Ye Feng said, "There are quite a few people in the kitchen. The chefs who wash the vegetables and prepare the dishes are all here. If that person wanted to poison someone, he wouldn't choose to do it in the kitchen. The most likely time to poison someone is when the dishes are served. Who is the waiter who brought the dishes?"

He asked Qin Fang who came in after hearing the noise.

Qin Fang replied, "Normally, Xiaoyong is the one who serves the dishes. But today, for some reason, he had diarrhea while Chef Zhang was cooking. Xiaoliu happened to be here, so he volunteered, and I asked him to serve the dishes. Xiaoliu was hired when our building just opened, and he is usually diligent and thoughtful."

Ye Feng's face darkened slightly: "Bring Xiao Liu here immediately."

Qin Fang was startled and hurriedly took Chu Ying and Chu Xiong out to look for someone.

Lu Ke'er asked in confusion: "Why would someone poison the food? Could it be a competitor of Pinxianlou?"

She thought of the people from the Jia Mansion who came to cause trouble on the opening day of Pinxianlou.

Rong Zhixing shook his head and said, "If the person who poisoned us wanted to frame us and attack our restaurant, he would not choose to poison you, but other diners."

Lu Ke'er grasped the key point sharply: "Do you think the poisoner wanted to poison someone among us?"

Rong Zhixing glanced at Ye Feng and nodded.

Ye Feng suddenly said, "I'm afraid this waiter is already dead."

Sure enough, not long after, Qin Fang and his two companions came back with the news that Xiao Liu had been poisoned to death.

"He died next to the toilet. He was poisoned by the herb Gelsemium elegans." Qin Fang shook his head and sighed.

"The other party acted very quickly. He was silenced almost as soon as the food was delivered." Chu Ying said, "I have sent someone to report the case to the county government."
