Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 422 Is there really something wrong with the white jade cake?

A slender jade hand reached out and patted Ning Qiu Sheng's arm. The white jade cake in Ning Qiu Sheng's hand fell to the ground, getting dirty!

Shaoyao opened her eyes innocently and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally touched your hand."

Ning Qiusheng looked at her deeply and said, "Be more careful next time."

He picked up another piece of white jade cake. Shaoyao frowned slightly. He couldn't be so stupid.

Zhang Asi looked at it eagerly, his eyes twinkling.

Under his attentive gaze, Ning Qiu Sheng put the white jade cake to his mouth. Suddenly, he paused and looked at Zhang Asi, who smiled unnaturally.

Ning Qiusheng smiled and said, "Ah Si, you've been staring at it. Are you hungry? Here, I'll give you this piece as a reward."

Zhang Ah Si's expression froze, "No, I'm not hungry."

Ning Qiusheng put his arm around his shoulders, acting like a good brother, and forced the white jade cake to his mouth, "Eat it, I know you're hungry."

Zhang Ah Si dodged and said, "I bought this at a high price. It's a white jade cake for Miss Shaoyao. I can't bear to eat it."

He spoke with great affection, not missing any opportunity to express his feelings.

But, Peony was like a piece of wood and didn't react at all.

Ning Qiusheng laughed, "She doesn't like sweet food, don't you know? Eat it quickly, we are all brothers, don't be polite."

Zhang Ah Si's face turned pale and blue, "I don't really like sweet food either, you can have it."

Ning Qiusheng said with a smile, "Don't pretend, I know you like sweet things, you don't have to save them for me, just eat them."

"If you don't eat it, it means you look down on me and don't want to be in the army anymore."

Zhang Ah Si's body froze, his mind racing, "Ouch, my stomach feels uncomfortable, I need to go to the toilet..."

He held his stomach, sweating profusely, "I'm in a hurry, Commander, please let me go."

Ning Qiusheng's face fell, and he pushed the man to the ground with a fierce push, "What do you mean? You are making excuses and would rather pretend to have a stomachache than eat the white jade cake. Are you holding a grudge against me for what I said just now?"

Zhang Ah Si secretly groaned in his heart, what kind of person is this? "Don't dare, don't dare, it really hurts me."

Ning Qiusheng was very angry, "You make me lose face, you have to eat this white jade cake even if you don't want to."

Zhang Ah Si tried his best to excuse himself, "Commander, I definitely didn't mean that. I meant..."

Ning Qiusheng interrupted impatiently, "Is there something wrong with the white jade cake? Did you drug it?"

It was like a thunderbolt exploding above Zhang Asi's head. His face changed color when he heard the sound. "No, no, no, how is this possible?"

He took the white jade cake in a panic, "If you don't believe me, I'll eat it right now and show you."

"I'm watching."

Zhang Asi froze, gritted his teeth, raised the white jade cake to his mouth, his movements were extremely slow, and he was still muttering.

"Miss Shaoyao, am I really not worthy of you?"

Unexpectedly, Shaoyao said, "Are you trying to change the subject? Don't you want to eat it? Is there really something wrong with the white jade cake?"

Zhang Asi's face turned pale. Both of them were so straightforward and annoying.

How can such a person be in a high position? It's not fair.

"I eat."

The two watched Zhang Asi eat the white jade cake with tears in his eyes, one piece, two pieces, three pieces, and he ate them all.

Ning Qiusheng's anger turned into joy, "That's right. As a person, you must be open and aboveboard."

Zhang Ah Si nodded desperately in agreement, "You are right, I want to learn from you, but I have to go to the toilet now."

Ning Qiusheng's mouth curled up slightly, "So urgent? Come on, I'll take you there."

Along the way, Ning Qiu Sheng talked about this and that for a long time before he let go of Zhang Asi, whose face had turned pale.

Looking at Zhang Asi's back as he rushed in, Ning Qiu Sheng sneered, thinking that he couldn't vomit for such a long time.

Ning Zhiwei frowned when he heard the news, "Drug?"

Ning Qiusheng reported carefully, "Yes, he went for Princess Yongle."

Ning Zhiwei didn't expect Zhang Asi to be so bold, "Send a few more guards to protect her secretly."

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei thought of a question, "Shaoyao is a doctor, and she is so open about giving medicine to the doctor. Is she sure that he can't detect it? Or is there another purpose?"

This was also the reason why Ning Qiusheng was puzzled. It was a bit unreasonable to give drugs to a doctor. Aren't you afraid of being caught on the spot?

"It's better to arrest him and give him a thorough trial."

Ning Zhiwei stayed put, on the one hand to pass on false information to the outside world and fish in troubled waters, and on the other hand, to play the long game and catch the big fish and dig out the entire line.

In addition to Zhang Asi, there were other people in the military camp. They were all fished out and eradicated.

"How about this, if you pass on the message again, I will arrest you."

"Yes."

Late at night, Zhang Asi lay on the bed with his eyes open. His heart was in a turmoil. He was not sure whether he had been exposed.

Ning Qiu Sheng's ambiguous words made him very uneasy, but he didn't reveal any flaws, right?

Forget it, just withdraw tomorrow. He doesn’t dare to take the risk.

If he fell into Ning Zhiwei's hands, he would be worse off than dead.

As he was thinking about it, his stomach started to hurt again. The familiar pain made him jump up and run out.

Seeing this, his companion couldn't help but ask, "Ah Si, what did you eat wrong? You've been having diarrhea all night."

Zhang A Si had no choice but to smile bitterly. Although he took the antidote afterwards, he still inevitably suffered from the aftereffects. This was detoxification.

After having diarrhea all night, my legs became weak and I lay in bed like a dead dog, unable to move. I had no choice but to take a leave of absence.

He didn't know how long he had slept before he was rudely woken up, "Ah Si, Miss Shaoyao is here to see you."

Peony? Zhang Ah Si was shocked. "Please invite her in."

Shaoyao walked in accompanied by two guards, carrying a medicine box in her hands. She was dressed in cloth and was extremely low-key.

The moment Zhang Asi saw her, his eyes sparkled, "Miss Shaoyao, you're here. It's great to see you."

Shaoyao's expression remained unchanged. "Your companion saw that you were in a bad condition, so he came to me for help. Stretch out your hand, let me see it."

Zhang Asi's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously clenched his fist, but at Shaoyao's impatient urging, he stretched out his hand.

Shaoyao felt the pulse and said calmly, "It's nothing serious, I just had an upset stomach. It will be cleared up after I have a bowel movement."

She was very businesslike and had no personal feelings at all.

"I'll prescribe a dose of medicine. You'll be fine after taking it for three days."

Zhang Asi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one would have thought that her medical skills were just so-so.

"Thank you Miss Shaoyao, you are so kind."

Shaoyao waved her hand and said, "Get well soon, otherwise, you will be left here and unable to keep up with the main group."

Zhang Ah Si sensitively grasped the key information, "Are we going to set off?"

"Correct."

Zhang Ah Si pretended to be casual and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shaoyao was writing a prescription and answered casually, "Return to Beijing..."

She was distracted as she was trying to do two things at once, and when she realized she had let the cat out of the bag, she became anxious.

"Ah, no, I mean, I don't know either, just follow me."

Zhang Ah Si saw it all. She was too naive to even make up a lie. "You're right. We soldiers just need to follow orders."

Shaoyao finished writing the prescription and handed it over, "Take the medicine well."

Then she turned and left.

Zhang Asi's eyes flashed, and he deliberately asked, "Miss Shaoyao, are you interested in our Commander Ning?"

This shocked the guards. What?

Shaoyao turned around suddenly, with a look of shock on her face, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Ah Si suddenly asked, "If there were two of us, Commander Ning, who would you choose?"

Outside the tent, Ning Qiu Sheng’s hand that was lifting the curtain paused.
