I will be a boss in the future world

While we were talking, waiters dressed in exquisite clothes came in one after another, holding trays with a dazzling array of delicacies. Some of these delicacies were in unique shapes, like exquisite works of art; some were so attractive that people could not help but salivate at the sight of them.

As the waiters placed dishes on the table, the whole hall was filled with the rich aroma of food. This aroma seemed to have a magical power, attracting people's attention and making people eager to taste it.

For a moment, the lively conversation gradually died down, replaced by everyone's admiration and anticipation for the food.

“I want to eat that!”

Eun-seong pointed at a dish in front of Woo-young.

Yuying smiled at her: "If you like it, just sit over here and eat. It's convenient for you to pick up the food."

She smiled happily when she heard Yuying's words, then looked at the king expectantly, waiting for his permission.

The king looked at the two of them with a smile, "We are all family, there is no need to be so restrained."

"Since the queen has invited you, please come and sit down."

"Thank you father!"

After saying that, Eun-seong stood up happily and sat next to Yu-young.

Throughout the dinner, Yuying could feel the king's scorching gaze lingering on her. She rolled her eyes silently in her heart, but could only pretend that she didn't feel it and ate quietly, while Enxing was actively talking to Yan.

Yan's expression was indifferent, as if nothing could make him look at anything differently. He just answered Enxing's questions perfunctorily, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Sorry, I'm late dealing with some things."

The originally harmonious and cheerful dinner party became extremely awkward and tense due to Xuan Luo's sudden intrusion.

Just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves, the smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly and the whole scene fell into deathly silence for a moment.

"..."

As soon as Enxing saw Xuanluo, her expression changed immediately.

"..."

Yan looked Xuan Luo up and down, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Only Yuying looked calm. He just glanced at him and then lowered his head to eat.

The king nodded calmly and motioned Xuan Luo to come in.

After Xuanluo came in, he walked straight to Eun-seong's side. He stood quietly behind Eun-seong with his hands behind his back, smiling.

"..."

"Yan, I want to eat the fruit plate in front of you."

Enxing looked at Yan expectantly and said coquettishly, "I can't reach it, can you give it to me?"

"If you like to eat, I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Yan picked up the fruit plate in front of him and placed it in front of Enxing.

Eun-seong smiled sweetly, "Yeah, thank you."

"..."

Xuan Luo remained calm, staring straight ahead with no emotion in his eyes.

Yuying saw Eun-seong secretly turning her head to look at Xuanluo's expression. Seeing that the latter did not show any fluctuation at all, her expression immediately changed. She turned back angrily, tightly clenching the knife and fork in her hand.

During this time, the king was chatting with Yan about Bai Xue's marriage.

"Nephew, what I mean is that I will hold a wedding for you after Bai Xue turns 20. Do you have any objection?"

Yan didn't react much, "No, the sooner the better."

The king suddenly smiled and said in an ambiguous way, "You young people are really anxious."

"young people?"

Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, saying calmly: "Your Highness doesn't look very old."

The king smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "I understand that you are praising me for not looking old?"

However, Enxing at the side chuckled and teased, "Father, you don't look old at all. If you go out and say you are my brother, people will believe it."

These words made the king even happier.

"Well, you're just sweet-talking."

“Unlike some people.”

"I treated her with all my heart, and then she turned around and accused me of bullying her."

As he spoke, he turned his head and stared at Yuying with a teasing look in his eyes.

"..."

Suddenly being called out, Yuying looked up and met his ambiguous, teasing, and malicious gaze. She felt a chill in her heart and was suddenly choked for some reason.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

The king suppressed his laughter and immediately handed over a glass of water.

"……Thanks."

Yuying couldn't refuse him in person, so she took the water and took a sip awkwardly.

Yan: "..."

Suddenly, another person came in.

"Your Highness, the guards just came to report that they caught an assassin in the kitchen."

As she spoke, Celine's mouth corners slightly raised, forming an imperceptible arc. Her originally sharp eyes now looked even more sinister, as if hiding endless malice and calculation.

She stared closely at Yuying in front of her, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, as if she was plotting some unknown conspiracy in her heart.

Yuying was keenly aware of the malice and looked at her in confusion. The person looked somewhat familiar.

but--

It seems that she has never offended this maid in any way?

The king raised his head slightly, glanced at the neatly arranged tableware on the table out of the corner of his eye, and then slowly put the knife and fork in his hand aside.

His movements were smooth and natural, as if every detail had been carefully designed, revealing an incomparable elegance.

Then, his eyes became cold and sharp, with obvious disdain, "Bring them up here, I want to see who dares to cause trouble for me on a day like today."

"Yes."

"Princess!!!"

Everyone turned around when they heard Xuanluo's shout, and Enxing fainted and fell on the table without them knowing!

One wave has not yet subsided when another wave rises——

"Apple! It's an apple!!"

Xuan Luo pointed at the piece of apple with a bite left on Bai Xue's knife and fork in shock and anger.

"Doctor! Take Enxing back to see the doctor immediately!"

Yan was the first to react. He picked up Enxing and rushed out. Yuying, who fell behind and wanted to catch up, felt a sudden palpitation for no reason, as if something big was going to happen.

She couldn't help but slow down.

"..."

Xuanluo's hand stopped just as he was about to pick up Enxing, and stayed in mid-air awkwardly.

However, before Yuying walked out of the door, her worries became a reality -

!!!

"Xu...Xu Yichen..."

Yuying stared in amazement at the person brought in by the guards.

"Your Highness, this is the person the guards caught in the kitchen. They also found this on him."

As she spoke, the maid named Celine handed the king a bottle of water-like liquid.

The king's expression rarely became serious, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Send someone to check what's inside for me, and bring the apple that the princess ate."

"you again!"

When Xuan Luo's eyes met Xu Yechen's, his face suddenly became extremely excited, as if he was hit by a powerful force. His eyes were burning with raging flames, like a surging sea of ​​fire, hot and violent.

He clenched his fists tightly, pressing his fingers against each other, making a crisp crackling sound. His body trembled slightly and his breathing became rapid.

Xuan Luo's eyes were fixed on Xu Yechen. This strong emotion made the air around them filled with tension, which made people look at him sideways.

Yu Ying looked at Xuan Luo with a headache. It turned out that this guy had no intelligence or memory at all. He was almost beaten to death, but he still dared to jump out and provoke Xu Yechen.

"Your Highness, Celine must speak."

"This man is the queen's newly recruited guard!"

"If this matter has anything to do with this man, then the queen must also be involved!"

"Your Highness, Celine dares to say something."

"The whole palace knows that what the queen hates most is someone praising the princess as more beautiful than her! This was definitely instigated by the queen!"

"..."

Hearing this, the king looked at Yuying with a deep gaze.

"Queen, is what she said true?"

"..."

Yuying was about to laugh at these inexplicable popularity, and asked back: "What do you think? Do you believe me or a maid?"

This Celine bit her tightly like a mad dog and refused to let go, roaring ferociously: "Queen, do you dare to say that this man is not your guard!?"

Her voice was deafening, as if it could overturn the entire palace.

"Does it mean that I ordered him to do this just because he is my guard?"

Yu Ying looked at her fiercely and sneered, "Besides, why should I believe that you found the bottle on him?"

"I always trust my people! He is definitely not that kind of person!"

The king said faintly: "Why are you so protective of him?"

"..."

This man is a very narrow-minded person. If he protects Xu Yichen like this, it will only push him into a dead end.

"I just can't stand people accusing me casually."

Yuying looked at the king with mocking eyes for a moment, then turned to look at Celine.

At this point, she also remembered where this familiar maid looked.

"If you say so, can I also say that you are holding a grudge against me for the slap I gave you last time, so now you are trying every possible way to push the blame onto me?!"

Yuying changed the way she spoke and questioned Celine instead.

Celine was speechless for a moment, pointing at her angrily and unable to refute for a moment: "You...!!"

"The queen is very eloquent! Celine can't win over you. Wait for the test results to come out and everything will be clear!"

Yu Ying's eyes were extremely cold, and she stared at the person in front of her with hostility, with a disdainful smile on her lips: "Oh, will the test results be clear?"

Then, she slammed the table and said sternly, "But I want to settle the score with you now. What's the matter with you being disrespectful and contradicting me?!"

Her eyes were full of majesty and anger, making people dare not look directly at her.

"!!!"

These words put her at a dead end. Celine was overwhelmed by Yuying's sudden outburst of strength and showed fear. She looked at the king for help.

"Your Highness, Celine definitely has no intention of disrespecting the Queen."

"You know, Celine has always been loyal to you. I was just too worried about the princess!"

Yu Ying snorted heavily, her tone becoming increasingly sharp and sarcastic, "What qualifications do you, a lowly maid, have to speak up for the princess here!?"

"Is it your turn?!"

"you!!!"

As the situation escalated, Yuying and Celine were fighting each other, and the three men had different reactions.

The king smiled and said nothing: "..."

Xu Yechen was somewhat shocked: "!!!"

Xuan Luo was still staring at Xu Yechen: "..."

Yu Ying's aura was fully revealed, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, he stared at the other party closely, and did not give in.

Her chest was heaving up and down due to her fierce words, her breathing became rapid, and veins on her forehead bulged, showing her extreme anger and dissatisfaction. However, despite this, Yuying still stood there firmly, without any intention of showing weakness.

This time she must protect Xu Yechen no matter what!

"I believe in the Queen."

"..."

Yuying turned her head slightly and looked at Xuanluo.

"I believe the queen is innocent..."

"But he!"

He pointed at Xu Yechen.

"It has absolutely nothing to do with this matter!"

"..."

Yuying had a headache. To be honest, she had never met such a stubborn person. Once he made up his mind, even ten cows couldn't pull him away.

She retorted quickly.

"You're talking nonsense! Xu Yichen is also innocent!!"

Xuan Luo looked at her in amazement and said in disbelief: "Queen, are you still going to deceive yourself?"

I feel tired, really.

"I didn't, stop talking!"

"Queen, why are you so worried about this guard? This is embarrassing for the king..."

Celine secretly glanced at the king, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"..."

"Baby, I'm also curious why you are so worried about him?"

Sure enough, this stingy man immediately spoke in a sinister tone with a dangerous warning.

"Do you know that based on your reaction..."

"He deserves to die!"

"!"

"If you have anything to say, just come to me."

"Why bother her here? Who are you showing it to?"

Xu Yechen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

He said these two sentences calmly without any panic.

"Xu Yichen, please explain!"

He turned a deaf ear to Yuying's words and kept looking at the king without fear.

The situation remained like this until——

"The results are out."

A soft voice sounded, and everyone turned around -

A woman came over slowly, and her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

She has a pretty face, delicate features like sculptures, skin as white as snow and as delicate as silk, a slim figure, and beautiful curves. Her every move is elegant and graceful. The sexy temperament that naturally exudes from her body is like the brightest stars in the night sky, which cannot be ignored.

"The liquid in this bottle is the same liquid that was applied to the princess' apple, but it doesn't contain any toxins."

She bowed slightly, "Your Highness, Queen."

Yu Ying was overjoyed and asked immediately, "Does this mean that the princess's fainting has nothing to do with the contents of this bottle?"

"Do not."

"The bottle contains water soaked with poisonous insects. This is the real reason why the princess fainted."

"...?"

Yuying felt like her brain was about to explode. The water that soaked the poisonous insects?

Who on earth is so vicious and disgusting!

Someone was definitely framing Xu Yechen, but she couldn't find any way to prove his innocence, and even her own innocence might not be cleared.

The king was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there a solution?"

The woman nodded and said, "A wizard has been called in and is treating the princess in her room."

Xuan Luo stared at Xu Yechen fiercely, "Your Highness, now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, please quickly deal with the person who poisoned the princess!"

"Wait a moment!"

"I feel there are still many doubts in this matter. I cannot let my people bear the charge of betrayal without knowing the reason!"

"The most important thing now is to wake up Bai Xue. Can we put aside the matter of the murderer for now?"

Yuying looked at the king with a pleading expression.

"..."

"Come here, put him in jail first and wait for trial."

After hearing the order, the guards surrounding Xu Yechen grabbed his arm and led him out.

During the whole process, Xu Yichen had no expression on his face. He was neither panicked nor anxious, as if he was not worried at all about what would happen next.
