Hua Manman was not poisoned to death, but was almost strangled to death.
There was simply too much for breakfast.
So much so that when she got into the carriage, she was still hiccupping.
The interior of the carriage in Prince Zhao's Mansion is very spacious, with melons and fruit refreshments on the low table, and green smoke curling from the incense burner.
Li Ji leaned back on the soft pillow, his wide sleeves were hanging down by his side, his long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, with a lazy look.
He looked at Hua Manman hiccupping non-stop, and smiled slightly.
"You can actually eat a little more and just feed yourself to death, so that you can become a full ghost as you wish."
Hua Manman hiccupped and asked, "How does the lord know that this concubine wants to be a full ghost?"
Li Ji asked without answering, "Isn't this obvious?"
Hua Manman: "..."
She suspected that she was being ridiculed.
Although, she couldn't help but continue to ask questions.
"How does the prince know that the medicine is poisonous? Also, since you know that the medicine is poisonous, why do you still drink it?"
The smile on Li Ji's face gradually faded, and his tone was cold and low: "Has anyone taught you? The more you know, the faster you die."
Hua Manman immediately shut up obediently, not daring to ask any more questions.
But the next moment, she couldn't help hiccupping again, and her body trembled with the hiccupping movement.
Seeing this, Li Ji found it quite interesting, and kept his eyes on her, never leaving her.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Chen Wangbei reminded that the Duke's Mansion had arrived, Li Ji then sat up a little bit, and hooked his fingers at Hua Manman.
"come over."
Hua Manman didn't know what he was going to do, but he obediently moved over.
"What is the order of the prince?"
Li Ji walked around her with his right hand, and quickly tapped the two acupuncture points on her back twice.
Before Hua Manman could figure out what he meant, he was helped out of the car.
It wasn't until she also got out of the carriage that she realized belatedly that she stopped hiccupping!
It turned out that the two taps on her back just now by King Zhao were to help her stop her hiccups.
The Duke of Zhen died in battle five years ago. It stands to reason that the title of the Duke should be inherited by Li Ji, the only heir. The title is still vacant.
Investigate its reason, outsiders have no way of knowing.
There are not many descriptions of the Duke's Mansion in "Gong Mou", so Hua Manman knows little about the entanglements in Li Ji's family.
She pushed Li Ji's wheelchair into the Duke's Mansion.
The gates opened one after another, and the servants and servants knelt down on both sides of the road, shouting in unison.
"Welcome His Royal Highness King Zhao!"
The carved beams and painted buildings in the mansion are very magnificent.
Probably because of Duke Zhen's practice of martial arts, the entire Duke's mansion was built in a simple and sturdy manner, which is a little less luxurious and more solemn than other princes and nobles' homes in Shangjing.
Hua Manman and Li Ji were invited to sit in the hall.
The butler said respectfully: "Please have some refreshments for the prince and the child, and I will inform His Royal Highness the princess right away."
After speaking, he backed out.
Hua Manman first looked around, and the decorations in the room were of course high-quality, but she didn't understand those antique calligraphy and paintings, so she quickly lost interest in looking around, and focused her eyes on the refreshments on the table.
These refreshments look delicious.
It's a pity that she was too full this morning, and now she is still full, and she really can't eat anymore.
Li Ji noticed her gaze, immediately stretched out his hand, pinched a piece of almond soufflé, and asked slowly.
"Want to eat?"
