In the dark dungeon, the air was filled with a humid and rancid smell. Li Qing took a gentle sniff and felt a sense of discomfort and stomach acid.

The walls were made of stones, with only a ray of light coming in from the two square windows as big as bowls.

Li Qing lay on the cold straw mat, and the rain outside splashed onto his chest through the square window.

At this time, Li Qing's mind was in chaos. He recalled that time when he saw Emperor Xue Ye vomiting blood and fainting after eating a piece of popcorn. It was like a bolt from the blue that struck him directly.

Suddenly, Li Qing's mind went blank. Subconsciously, Li Qing wanted to run away, but the person next to Emperor Xue Ye stopped him.

The man claimed to be the president of the Chefs Association. He told Li Qing, "If you run away now, even if you are innocent, you will not be able to escape from this matter. By then, unless you can run to other countries, Run to the ends of the earth, otherwise you will be a wanted criminal in the Tiandou Empire."

"If you believe me, don't resist, I will definitely find the truth for you."

I don't know why, but seeing his sincere expression, Li Qing was convinced by him, as if he had this special temperament in him.

As a result, Li Qing was lying in the dark and damp dungeon. He prayed in his heart that Wan Tianlin could find out the truth as soon as possible so that he could leave here.

This dungeon is really a torture.

In the food court pavilion.

Because of the accident, in order to protect the scene, the place was immediately surrounded by guards.

On the table in the pavilion, there was a bucket of popcorn.

Suddenly, a thunder exploded in the sky, and after a breeze blew, everything returned to calm again...

At the same time, Wan Tianlin in the high-rise building of the Chefs Association was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, constantly swaying.

Emperor Xue Ye fainted and fell into a coma under his nose. Although it was not caused by him, he could not escape the crime of serious dereliction of duty.

Obviously, this crime of dereliction of duty is extraordinary.

"How is it, Uncle Wan, how is my father?"

At this time, Xue Qinghe trotted over with a worried look on his face, his tone full of urgency. Behind him was a beautiful blond girl, Xiaoxue.

Wan Tianlin bowed deeply towards Xue Qinghe, "Sorry, Your Highness, I failed to protect Your Majesty, and I am guilty! Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Xue Qinghe quickly stepped forward and helped Wan Tianlin up, "Uncle Wan, don't worry about such trivial matters at this time. The important thing is how is my father?"

"The Royal Physician Wang is making diagnosis and treatment."

Just then, an old man with gray hair walked out.

"How about it, Doctor Wang!"

Seeing Doctor Wang coming out, Wan Tianlin asked quickly.

"Oh, Your Majesty is poisoned."

"Then how to treat it?"

Doctor Wang sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, according to various signs, your Majesty is suffering from a kind of strange and mysterious disease. If you can't find the antidote within three days, your Majesty will The vitality in the body will be exhausted. It's a pity that my medical skills are not good enough to detoxify Your Majesty."

"And who do you know who can detoxify it?"

"The poison of Qi Ming You Jue San is an extremely ancient poison. It is colorless and odorless when poisoned. However, it has disappeared on the mainland for a long time. As for the person who can detoxify it, I don't know who can detox it." Plant poison. Maybe... the person who poisoned it might know."

"Then go find the person who poisoned you!"

Xue Qinghe said anxiously.

"Commander Gu, Dr. Han indeed found poison residue on the popcorn bucket."

At this time, a guard trotted in and reported to Gu Xiang.

"Understood, you go down."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Gu Xiang turned to Xue Qinghe and said.

"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that the bucket of popcorn does contain Qi Ming You Jue San. The captured poisoner is in the dungeon cell and can be interrogated at any time."

The expression on Xiaoxue's face suddenly condensed.

"Popcorn...how could that happen?"

Xue Qinghe waved his hand, "Go to the dungeon immediately!"

"Yes!"

Naturally, Xiaoxue could not enter the prison cell. Although she wanted to know whether the person caught was "Qin Li", she could only wait for a while.

Li Qing was lying on the cold straw mat, and he had regained his composure.

Li Qing regretted it. He had been so panicked just now that he actually believed the words of a stranger whom he had never met before, and easily put his life in the hands of a stranger.

He must find a way to save himself.

While Li Qing was racking his brains and thinking hard, the sound of iron ropes sliding came from the end of the dark corridor.

The door should be open.

Then, there was the sound of footsteps.

A guarding soldier led a group of people to stop in front of Li Qing's cell door. Wan Tianlin, Xue Qinghe and Gu Xiang were among them.

Of course, there are others.

Li Qing immediately jumped down from the straw mat and shouted loudly, "It's wrong, it's wrong, President Wan, I'm wrong!"

Li Qing's voice was full of emotion, and there was even a trace of tears in his eyes. It made those who heard it cry and those who listened were sad.

"I am wronged..."

"Stop making excuses. The evidence is now conclusive. You'd better hand over the antidote now!"

At this time, a blond boy wearing Chinese clothes immediately interrupted Li Qing loudly.

As expected, he should be Xue Qinghe. After thinking for a while, Li Qing came up with the correct answer.

"Antidote? I don't have an antidote. I'm not the murderer. Your Highness, I was really wronged."

"Then why was the residue of Qi Ming You Jue San detected on the popcorn bucket?"

"Yes, I also want to know why there is poison on it."

Li Qing was on the verge of tears. He must have been taken advantage of by someone insidious and turned into a scapegoat.

"Mad, don't let me know who you are. I will kill you when I get out!"

Li Qing cursed angrily in his heart.

"Qi Ming You Jue San?"

Suddenly, Lingwu's voice sounded in Li Qing's mind.

Li Qing quickly asked, "Senior Lingwu, do you know about this poison?"

"Yes, this poison was invented and developed by me." Lingwu's tone seemed a bit proud.

"Senior, do you know how to detoxify this poison?"

Li Qing seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Seeing Li Qing's silence, Gu Xiang said fiercely. "It seems like you won't shed tears when you see the coffin."

"Your Highness, do you want to use torture instruments?" Gu Xiang turned around and asked Xue Qinghe for instructions.

"Your Highness, this is just a child. It may not be appropriate to use torture instruments."

After hearing Gu Xiang's words, Wan Tianlin immediately frowned and said quickly.

Although the residue of Qi Mingyou Juesan was detected on the popcorn bucket, in his opinion, there were still many doubts. The child in front of him could never be the murderer.

"This……"

Xue Qinghe looked hesitant.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is in danger. If the poison cannot be detoxified in time, then..." Gu Xiang continued to persuade.

"Okay, then..."

"Wait!" Li Qing raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Although I'm not a murderer, it doesn't mean I can't detoxify!"
