Looking at her serious little expression, if he could not hear her true thoughts, Li Ji would almost believe her nonsense.
This woman said so many good things, just to eat as soon as possible.
Li Ji curled up his thin lips and smiled viciously.
He pushed the decoction in front of him towards Hua Manman.
"Since you care so much about my king's health, why don't you try this medicine for me to see if there is any poison in it?"
Hua Manman was stunned.
She didn't expect that she would get such a result just by persuading her a few words.
The medicine looked very bitter, she didn't want to drink it at all!
But Li Ji was still looking at her, as if she wouldn't let her go until she took a bite.
Everyone else lowered their heads, and no one dared to say that King Zhao's behavior was not good.
Hua Manman had no choice but to pick up the bowl resignedly, and took a shallow sip.
The entrance of the decoction is terribly bitter!
Her little face immediately wrinkled into a ball, but she still had to force a smile.
"My lord, this medicine is fine, drink it quickly."
Li Ji looked at her with an inexplicable expression: "The king asked you to test the medicine, but he asked you to test the medicine with a spoon, not to drink it from a bowl. Do you want me to eat your saliva?"
Hua Manman has never tried medicine on anyone, how would she know that she needs to use tools? !
She was powerless to argue, so she could only speak embarrassingly.
"The concubine asked someone to cook another bowl of medicine for the prince."
But Li Ji directly picked up the soup in front of him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
He put down the empty bowl, met Hua Manman's surprised gaze, and smiled indifferently.
"Okay, now we can eat."
Hua Manman cheered inwardly, and immediately sat back in her original position, cooking happily!
Gao Shan asked Hua Ruren for help just now, but it was just a helpless act in a desperate situation. He didn't expect Hua Ruren to be so capable, and he actually succeeded in persuading King Zhao to drink the medicine.
It seems that King Zhao is very fond of this Huaruren!
Gao Shan raised Hua Ruren's position in his heart.
Noticing the indifferent gaze that King Zhao looked at him, Gao Shan knew that King Zhao didn't like to be served by others when he was eating, so he led his servants back out wisely.
As soon as they left, Li Ji took out a small purse from his wide sleeve.
He took a pill from his purse, threw it into his mouth, and took it with chicken broth.
Seeing this, Hua Manman paused and couldn't help asking.
"What is the prince eating?"
Li Ji put away the small purse, and replied casually: "Guess."
Hua Manman: "..."
I guess you are a bullhead!
Hearing her heartfelt voice, Li Ji curled his lips into a smile: "This king is taking detoxification pills."
Hua Manman opened her eyes, and became more and more curious.
Generally, only those who have been poisoned will need to take detoxification pills. Could it be that King Zhao has been poisoned
Li Ji explained slowly: "The medicine I drank just now is poisonous, so I need to take the detoxification pill to relieve it."
Hua Manman was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he stuttered when he spoke.
"There is poison in the medicine?!"
She took a sip of the medicine just now, isn't she poisoned
Will she die
Woooooo, she hasn't finished her breakfast yet, she doesn't want to die!
Li Ji: "..."
So she didn't want to die just because she didn't finish her breakfast
It's really promising!
Li Ji explained slowly: "The poisoner is very careful, the amount of poison is very small each time, if you only take a sip, you should be fine."
Hua Manman was dubious: "Really?"
Li Ji showed a malicious smile on purpose: "Fake, you are lying, as long as you drink the medicine, you will die."
He thought the woman would cry out of fright.
As a result, Hua Manman just stared blankly for a while, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and started cooking quickly.
Li Ji heard her heart clearly—
"Anyway, I'm about to die, so I have to eat all these delicious foods first. Even if I die, I will be a hungry ghost!"
Li Ji: "..."
It's very real.
