Seeing that he did not say anything for a long time, Chu Ying was a little perturbed in her heart. Her face, however, was very calm as she asked in a calm voice.

"Does Your Highness still have any doubts about the poison?"

Gu Junxiu quietly looked at her. Although she tried his best to maintain her composure, he kept feeling that something was strange. He couldn't find anything out of place for a while, so he could only turn around and leave.

As Chu Ying watched him leave, her eyes finally revealed a hint of fear. Her calmness just now was all an act. If he had discovered that she was the one behind the poison, then her fate could be imagined.

"Miss, what's wrong?" When Fu Jiao came in, she saw that her face was pale, and said with a bit of worry.

"I'm fine!" Chu Ying immediately sat up from the chair, went to get some silver, and handed it over to Fu Die.

"Hand this silver over to Director Liu, and then …" After that, he saw Fu Jiao repeatedly nodding her head.

She weighed the silver. This was equivalent to several years of her salary, if Director Liu saw this, he would definitely be surprised. When she arrived at royal kitchen, Director Liu was scolding a Young Eunuch. Seeing her actions, wrinkles appeared on her smooth face, and she said in a flattering manner,

"Miss Fu, what do you want today?"

The woman shook her head, indicating that he should follow her. He only stopped when he found a more secluded area. The Director Liu asked curiously.

"What's the matter?"

He probably saw that there weren't many people here, and his smile was a bit vulgar as he recklessly stared at her face. Fu Dian glanced at him in disgust, threw the silver in his hand onto the ground, and said to her in disdain.

"This is the reward from my Miss."

Director Liu had lived in this palace for so many years that he could already tell what the meaning was just by looking at it. He weighed the silver in his hand and smiled in satisfaction as he said to her,

"What does your Miss have to tell this old servant to do?" Talking to a wise man was easy, but Fu Xian immediately told him in a low voice what Chu Ying had just said. He thought that Director Liu would agree quickly, but he never had the intention of playing with him. Fu Tuo said impatiently.

"You took the silver as well. This is a matter that concerns you, what else do you have to worry about?" Director Liu placed the bag of silver in front of her and spoke with slight disdain.

"This old servant has been in the palace for so many years, yet you want to give me so much silver?"

Fu Lian secretly cursed in her heart, "Greedy but never tired of it", and decided to discuss it carefully. Director Liu could see that she did not want to add more silver, so she suddenly used her hand to pick up her hair and said with a disgusted voice.

"This palace is very lonely. It would be great if I could have someone to accompany me."

She had never experienced such a thing, so she didn't know what he meant by what he had just said. Ye Zichen said strangely.

"What do you mean?" Director Liu looked at Fu Lian's beautiful face, and a very vulgar smile appeared on his face, as he said to her:

"If you agree to be my food, I will agree to that immediately."

Although the palace eunuchs were no longer able to take a wife, many of the eunuchs who had some status in the palace would find a palace maid to eat with them and take care of their daily needs.

This was because many palace maids thought that this was a very humiliating matter, and most would not agree to it, except for a few who were forced to.

Fu Dian also wanted to slap him, but when he thought of this person's identity, he suppressed the anger in his heart. He coldly refused.

"Don't even think about it!" Director Liu squinted his eyes into slits as he looked at her proudly.

"Since you don't agree, then I am powerless to do what you said just now. After all, Prince Yu is the one who investigated on this matter.

"You!" Her face was red as she pointed at him, and smoke almost came out of her head due to his anger. She angrily left, as she had already forgotten Chu Ying's orders. she asked anxiously when she saw her maid returning to Jinsi Garden.

"How's it going?" At this moment, Fu Dian remembered that tears immediately flowed out from her eyes as she cried and said,

"Miss, he didn't agree to this matter." Chu Ying looked at her and asked in disbelief.

"Why didn't he agree? Do you think that's too little? " Fu Chi thought about it for a long time, but still didn't say anything about the food. She nodded and said,

"He said that the silver was not enough." Anger appeared in Chu Ying's eyes as she angrily said:

"That old bastard!"

She had never thought that Gu Junxiu would investigate this matter again, and in his heart, he simply did not believe that Ruan Xiaonuan would poison him. Therefore, she would definitely investigate this matter deeply. Although the possibility of finding her was not high, she still had to move the culprit away. Otherwise, she would expose herself one day. She had personally gone to find Director Liu this time, and when he saw her, he wasn't as respectful as the previous times.

What can I do for you, Miss Chu?" He knew that she had a request for him, so in front of her, she didn't seem like a servant at all. Chu Ying forced a smile on her face and said in a gentle voice,

"My maid said earlier that I can add more silver if it is not enough." However, he remained unmoved this time, staring straight at Fu Dian.

"Since she told me about the silver, didn't she mention what I wanted?"

Chu Ying looked at him strangely. Could it be that he didn't want money? However, fear appeared in the eyes of Fu Bufan, and he wanted to retreat. The Director Liu didn't give her the chance, and directly told Chu Ying:

"As long as she agrees to be my food, this old servant will definitely agree to do what I promised Miss."

Chu Ying frowned deeply, because ever since she entered the palace, Fu Jiao had always been by her side, and had helped her a lot. She knew a lot of things that she had to do, and if she did not keep them by her side, it would be detrimental to her.

However, the Director Liu was determined to kill her and refused to let go. Fu Tuo kneeled on the ground with tears in her eyes and grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Miss, don't agree to his request. This servant will definitely come up with a better idea."

Chu Ying looked at her hesitantly. She was indeed a little reluctant to give Fu Jiao away. However, if she did not resolve this matter, it would be very disadvantageous for her. After thinking for a long time, she smiled and said to the Director Liu.

"Eunuch Liu, let's find a quiet place to talk about this."

When he saw that there was a joke, he could not wait any longer and followed. When they left, they didn't care about the Lotus who was still kneeling on the ground.
