Li Qingluo: "The food is poisonous, is it from my restaurant?"

"What kind of restaurant owner would be so stupid as to poison the princess? He's simply courting death!"

"First of all, when a chef cooks, he cooks everything in one pot."

"The person serving the dishes didn't even know which one was for the princess. Because everyone's meal today, except for some girls who specifically requested dietary restrictions, was exactly the same for everyone else."

"When we get to this room, we'll bring them to you one by one in order."

"After this, are the only people who come into contact with the princess's meals the waiters? Are the princess's maids and other ladies really out of luck?"

Li Qingluo's questioning, word by word, made everyone become a little anxious.

"How could it be us?"

"Yeah, don't we want to live anymore?"

“Why are we doing this?”

"Madam Nangong, please don't make random guesses."

Li Qingluo: "Is this just a wild guess? If the princess can still wake up, the truth will soon be revealed."

"However, the princess's condition is not optimistic at the moment, so we need to prove our innocence as soon as possible."

"Who has come near her since the food was served."

"Everyone is a suspect."

"However, there is another possibility."

"That means the princess was poisoned long before she came to the restaurant. She must have eaten something or drunk something, or perhaps the poison happened to take effect at the right time."

As Li Qingluo spoke, his gaze naturally turned to Princess Changning.

She walked over, ripped the cloth from Princess Changning's mouth, narrowed her eyes and asked her, "You did it, Princess Changning."

"You are inexplicably displeased with me today. It must be because I went to your house to meet your father yesterday and let you know my identity."

"Your secrets don't want to be known to outsiders."

"So, you want to get rid of me as soon as possible."

"That's why you came up with such a stupid and cunning plan to make me commit the heinous crime of genocide."

"You even go so far as to pull down girls from other families to be your stepping stones. Am I wrong in my guess?"

Princess Changning: "Stop spouting nonsense and slandering me!"

"Nangong Qingluo, your husband was arrested and imprisoned. It's obvious that you wanted to poison Xingyao, and then took the opportunity to threaten Xingyao with the antidote in order to save your husband."

"This is your conspiracy, right?"

"Now you are throwing dirty water on me, I will kill you——"

Changning roared and was about to stand up and pounce with a ferocious look on his face.

Que'er pressed her to the ground with one hand.

"Be honest!"

"Princess Changning, do you think everyone else is as brainless as you?"

Chang Ning: "You bold and slutty slave! What are you talking about? How dare you insult this princess! This princess will chop off your head——"

Princess Changning's temperament had always been spoiled by Princess Zhiyuan, sometimes even more domineering and willful than those princesses in the royal family. Her mother had just died, and she was suspicious about her own life experience, so she had restrained herself a little recently.

However, after being completely exposed and even debunked by Li Qingluo, Princess Changning could no longer contain her fury and shouted like crazy, "You are a cruel and heartless master and servant!"

"Have you forgotten who was the first person to come to your restaurant?"

"Now that he's become famous and has made the acquaintance of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, he wants to deal with me first and look down on me!"

"Once my innocence is cleared, I will definitely not forgive you—"

Li Qingluo stared at Princess Changning but smiled faintly: "You let it slip, Your Highness."

Changning shuddered all over.

Li Qingluo snorted coldly, "Ever since I even entered this hall, you've been certain that I was the real murderer who poisoned the princess."

"Yet you just said yourself that you wanted to please Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."

"There are people in this world who actually use poisoning to curry favor with others. Do you think everyone in the world is a fool who can't tell right from wrong?"

Changning's face turned paler and paler.

"No... I was just talking nonsense..."

"It's you, it's obviously you!"

Li Qingluo: "Keep her mouth shut."

She waited patiently, and soon, Jinhuan and the imperial physician arrived at the same time.

"Luo'er, there are a lot of soldiers outside. They have surrounded your restaurant."

"The shopkeeper's wife and I also climbed over the wall from the back."

"What's going on here?"

Li Qingluo: "Senior Sister, there's no time to explain too much. I need your help right now."

"Help me take a look, which dish on this table is poisonous?"

"Also, this is the Seventh Princess. She fainted due to poisoning. I have already fed her Grandpa Luo's elixir. Whether she can survive depends on this imperial physician."

Li Qingluo turned to look at the frightened female doctor.

"You, you don't allow the soldiers to come in. If anything really happens to the princess, all of you will have more heads than you can chop off today!"

Li Qingluo: "Just focus on yours!"

"If the princess can't live, then neither can you!"

She glared fiercely, and the female doctor trembled all over at the murderous look in her eyes.

She rushed over to feel the Seventh Princess's pulse.

On the other side, the ladies from various families were so nervous that they almost cried when they heard that the outside was surrounded by soldiers.

"This is how to do ah?"

"Yeah, should we go out or not?"

"If the princess doesn't wake up, we're all doomed!"

"I will never go out on the street again. Woohoo, even this women's restaurant is dangerous."

"How about we send someone out to negotiate?"

The last sentence was said by Cai Jiuniang as she walked over to Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo: "Don't worry, my people know how to do things."

Li Qingluo knew in her heart that if she didn't handle today's matter properly, not only would the Huaxie Restaurant be completely unable to operate, she would also find it difficult to gain a foothold in the entire Nan'an.

Not to mention... if the princess couldn't wake up, even if I risked my life to let the assassins take her out of Nan'an, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand the entire Nan'an military force.

Therefore, Li Qingluo must be careful and cautious in every step he takes.

She nodded to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately went out again.

The officers and soldiers surrounding the restaurant waited for the princess to show up and planned to try to break in by force.

I heard that this restaurant has several skilled guards?

Although there were only two masked men holding swords standing at the door, the leading guard could also sense the thick murderous aura surrounding them!

A businessman actually dares to keep guards!

Once we catch them, this restaurant will be closed for good!

"Come here—ready your bows and arrows—"

"Bump the door!"

The shopkeeper rushed out and shouted urgently, "Stop it, gentlemen!"

"Your Highness the Princess is indeed feeling a little unwell. But she cannot come out at the moment."

"She's resting. Wait another half hour or so, and she'll definitely show up in person for everyone to see!"

"At this moment, officials, please do not disturb the princess's rest, right?"

Thanks to the shopkeeper's eloquence, the situation outside was finally temporarily stabilized.

After all, the maid who went to announce it didn't speak clearly, so the officers and guards who came to rescue the princess were afraid of really disturbing the princess, so in the end the Huaxie Restaurant was given another half hour.

If the princess doesn't show up after half an hour, they will break into the restaurant and confiscate everything!
