Hearing this, Yu Wangfei couldn't help but frown slightly, as if she was thinking about something. She took the initiative to walk to the side, pulled out a stool and sat down.

For some reason, she always felt that this matter was related to Lu Xiaoting.

"You go." Chu Yuheng said to his subordinates.

"Wait." Yu Wangfei immediately stood up, took out the sachet she wore on her waist and handed it to the guard, "Let Miss Lu smell it, and then bring her over."

"Yes, ma'am." Even though the guard was confused, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

The sachet contained the antidote to the sleeping pills that Lu Xiaoting had been given earlier. She only needed to smell it to recover. She was worried that Lu Xiaoting would fall asleep on the road.

Thanks to this poison, I haven't seen Lu Xiaoting for these days. Without her chattering in front of me, life has become much happier.

But Yu Wangfei suddenly remembered what the waiter had said just now. If what he said was true, Lu Xiaoting had been to the hot pot shop today, but she had been drugged by herself to make her sleep, so it was impossible for her to walk from the general's mansion to the shop and still have the energy to help in the shop.

Could it be that Lu Xiaoting had already detoxified herself?

It seems that we have to wait until she comes to know the truth.

After a while, Lu Xiaoting came to the shop led by the guards. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her shop assistants all kneeling on the ground, while Chu Yuheng and Chu Fei were sitting on chairs, glaring at her angrily.

"What are the prince and the seventh prince doing?" Lu Xiaoting asked with a puzzled look, and then walked towards them very naturally.

"This prince was poisoned in your shop. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?" Chu Fei looked at Lu Xiaoting with a grim face, without any of his usual playful demeanor.

"Is this true?" Lu Xiaoting said with a smile, "Who dares to poison the Seventh Prince?"

"That's why I came to ask you." Chu Fei didn't want to get close to her at all.

If there was nothing to do on a normal day, it would be fine for him to be on good terms with Lu Xiaoting, but now Feng Zhao was in imminent danger and he dared not delay for a moment.

Seeing Chu Fei's serious expression, Lu Xiaoting guessed that this was true and immediately became nervous: "You suspect that I poisoned you."

Hearing this, Chu Fei didn't say anything. He just turned his head away calmly, not wanting to look her in the eye.

Lu Xiaoting ran to Chu Yuheng and looked at him pitifully: "Even you don't believe me?"

"We don't suspect you of poisoning him." Chu Yuheng explained, "It's because he was poisoned in your shop and needs to cooperate with our investigation."

In his opinion, Lu Xiaoting was on the same boat with them, so it was impossible for her to poison Chu Fei and Feng Zhao. Therefore, the real poisoner must be hiding among these guys.

He had just interrogated this group of people. The food that Feng Zhao ate only passed through their hands and Lu Xiaoting's. No one else touched it. This meant that the person who poisoned the food was among this group of people.

Chu Yuheng also guessed that the person who poisoned Chu Fei had already defected to Chu Aotian, and this might not be his arrangement. He wanted Chu Fei to die suddenly so that no one could compete with him for the throne.

But Chu Aotian didn't expect that Chu Fei didn't eat those foods at all.

Lu Xiaoting turned around and looked at the guys kneeling on the ground, glaring at them viciously: "Tell me the truth, or I will kill you all!"

"Boss, please spare us. We really didn't poison the Seventh Prince." Everyone kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I think it's okay. Why not just kill them all and feed them to the dogs." Yu Wangfei suddenly stood up and looked at Chu Yuheng with a firm face. This expression made him believe in herself.

Seeing that she was confident, Chu Yuheng nodded and let her continue.

"Come here, bring in two wolfhounds." Yu Wangfei ordered.

After a while, two wolfhounds were brought in. Yu Wangfei stepped back and ordered, "Go."

Seeing this, everyone immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please, Princess, please spare my life, Lord."

The guards were worried that the wolfhounds might hurt their masters, so they picked up their swords and stood in front of Chu Yuheng and Chu Fei.

The moment the wolfhounds were released, everyone was frightened and fled in all directions, but the two wolfhounds seemed to not see anyone else and rushed towards Lu Xiaoting.

Seeing the wolfdog rushing towards them, Lu Xiaoting drew the sword from her waist and killed the wolfdog to the ground. Only then did everyone get a chance to breathe.

"Seventh Prince, the murderer has been found." Yu Wangfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Xiaoting with a proud look on his face.

Sure enough, it was she who did it.

Originally, Yu Wangfei also suspected that Chu Aotian's people had mixed in with this group of guys, but until the waiter said that Lu Xiaoting had been here today, she couldn't help but wonder if she had done it.

"Lu Xiaoting?" Chu Fei looked at her in disbelief, his face full of surprise.

Aren’t they in the same boat? Don’t they still have the friendship of their youth? Why would Lu Xiaoting want to kill herself?

"What evidence do you have that it's me?" Lu Xiaoting said solemnly, "What good will it do me if I kill the Seventh Prince!"

Seeing this, Chu Yuheng glanced at his subordinate and signaled him to take the irrelevant people out. What they were going to talk about next must not be heard by outsiders.

The guards immediately took all the shop assistants away and closed the shop door tightly.

At this moment, there was no one else in the store except them.

"If you didn't poison, how do you explain the blue juice on your cuffs?" Yu Wangfei raised his finger and pointed at her mistake.

From the moment Lu Xiaoting walked in, Yu Wangfei set her sights on her. When she saw the blue and white juice, she was sure that she was the one who poisoned her.

Because it is recorded in medical books that this poison is extremely dangerous, the poisoner needs to wash his hands with indigo plant juice to prevent the poison from sticking to his hands. The reason for letting the wolfhound in is to further confirm whether the trace is indigo plant juice.

"It's not me." Lu Xiaoting gritted her teeth and said, "I conspired with Chu Fei, how could I poison him!"

This is also what Yu Wangfei found strange. She couldn't think of any reason why Lu Xiaoting would murder Chu Fei.

"The stains on my cuffs were accidentally stained when I had lunch today." Lu Xiaoting explained, "I can't possibly kill the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty, you have to believe me."

Hearing this, Chu Yuheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. He couldn't think of any reason why Lu Xiaoting would want to murder Chu Fei. After all, they were in the same boat.

If Chu Fei died, it would not be of any benefit to her.

"Who is that? Who on earth wants to harm this prince?" When Chu Fei thought of the omen on the bed, he wanted to rush to the eldest prince's mansion with a sword in hand.

Apart from him, Chu Fei couldn't think of anyone else.

Even though Lu Xiaoting argued like this, Yu Wangfei did not trust her because she believed in the wolfhound's sense of smell and her own knockout drug. However, she did not know the reason why Lu Xiaoting wanted to murder Chu Fei.

There must be some unknown secret.
