Li Hua looked at the Queen, and then at the two custard bowls. She knew that in one of them, she had mixed the pill to make Feng Lao unconscious or sleepy. The Queen was in a hurry to kill her.
"Before going out, you both must eat this custard. I have made it with my own hands. I have given it to everyone in the royal family. You were the last one. I brought one for Feng Lao as well as he is your bodyguard," Zhu Liling stated. She gestured to Mi Yao, who put the custard on the table.
Zhu Liling forwarded the bowl to Feng Lao, who accepted it, and then, she handed the other bowl to Li Hua. "Taste it and tell me how is it," Zhu Liling said. Li Hua picked up the spoon and took a sip of it. Zhu Liling asked Feng Lao to take the taste as well. He did, which satisfied the Queen.
