Although she said that she didn't, her fluttering eyes and panicked expression clearly exposed the fact that she did.
Jiujiu turned her head to look at Zhou Haiqing and asked him with her eyes.
Zhou Haiqing stuffed a piece of pastry into Jiujiu's mouth. Then, he raised his head and glanced at the kitchen maid. His voice was cold and emotionless. "Who asked you to come?"
The moment Zhou Haiqing opened his mouth, the kitchen maid's face turned pale. She quickly said, "I don't know what the general means. This lady must have seen wrongly. I didn't put any drugs in it. It was salt."
The kitchen maid seemed to have thought of something. The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was right. "When we cook soup, we have a habit of boiling it first and adding salt at the end. This is because once the soup is boiled, the taste of salt will become stronger. Then, the soup can't be drunk anymore. It's salt."
"Nonsense." Dong 'er's small face turned red. Her big round eyes stared fiercely at the kitchen maid. "I saw it clearly just now. It was obviously powder. Miss, she's talking nonsense."
Dong 'er was furious when she thought about how she saw someone put drugs in the food when Jiujiu had just arrived.
Zhou Haiqing turned his head and instructed his adjutant, "Did you hear what Miss Dong 'er said? Ask Elder Dong to check what was in the soup."
Hearing that Zhou Haiqing wanted to ask a doctor to check, a look of guilt flashed across the kitchen maid's face. However, when she thought about what the person who gave her the powder said, she immediately became confident.
As long as nothing was found and she insisted that it was salt, nothing would happen.
However, when she thought about how she had revealed a guilty and panicked expression when Dong 'er saw her, the kitchen maid immediately regretted it. If she hadn't panicked, the other party wouldn't have interrogated her like this.
Elder Dong quickly arrived. He cupped his hands and said to Zhou Haiqing, who was sitting at the head of the table, "General, there was no drug in the soup."
"No?" Jiujiu raised her eyebrows.
Dong 'er was one of her people, and Jiujiu naturally trusted her a lot. Dong' er had just arrived at the general's residence, and if there wasn't something important, she wouldn't have pulled her over directly.
When Elder Dong heard Jiujiu's voice, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at her. When he saw Jiujiu's young and tender face, which was calm and cold, he subconsciously lowered his head and replied with a respectful expression, "Madam, no."
"Can you bring the soup up for me to take a look?" Jiujiu looked at Dong 'er, who was at a loss when she heard Elder Dong say no. She rubbed her hands and was about to cry.
Soon, the soup was brought up.
Jiujiu looked at the white, milk-like pork ribs soup placed in front of her. She sniffed. Hmm, it smells pretty good.
She scooped up the soup with a spoon and sniffed it carefully. In an instant, Jiujiu smelled a fragrance. It was very faint, but very obvious. There was a medicinal herb called Mi Fu in the soup.
Mi Fu was not a big deal for a woman to eat, but once a man ate it, his desire would slowly fade until he had no desires. Even if a peerless beauty were to take off her clothes in front of him, he would not feel anything. He was definitely more Liu Xiahui than Liu Xiahui.
Tsk tsk, this medicinal herb was obviously targeted at Zhou Haiqing. Jiujiu tilted her head and looked down at Zhou Haiqing's waist. She smiled mischievously and said, "Husband, do you need help?"
Seeing Jiujiu's mischievous smile, Zhou Haiqing raised his hand and pinched Jiujiu's cheek, "Madam, please speak your mind."
"Capture her and interrogate her." Jiujiu pointed at the kitchen maid and said to Zhou Haiqing.
The kitchen maid's expression changed. She repeatedly cried out, "Madam, I am innocent."
"Innocent?" Jiujiu pursed her lips, "Don't insult the word innocent."
She actually dared to say that she was innocent after drugging Zhou Haiqing to make him impotent. She was simply shameless.
Jiujiu's words made the kitchen maid, who was crying out for her innocence, speechless. She looked at Jiujiu helplessly.
Jiujiu said to Zhou Haiqing, "She put poison in your soup. Remember to ask for the antidote when you find the person, or else, hehe …"
Jiujiu laughed mischievously. She stood up and stretched. She tilted her head and asked Zhou Haiqing, "Can I go out to play?"
After arriving at the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence, her daily life was either studying or embroidery. Even if she could go out occasionally, she would always wear a veil and the places she could go were particularly limited. Jiujiu felt that she was going to grow moldy. God knows how much she missed the days when she could go out freely.
Zhou Haiqing waved his hand to indicate for the assistant to send the kitchen maid away. He stood up and stood beside Jiujiu. He raised his hand and pulled Jiujiu into his arms, "If Madam wants to go out, just tell the housekeeper and have him prepare a carriage for you."
Zhou Haiqing changed the topic, "Since Madam can tell what kind of drug was put in the soup, then can you help your husband see if I have been poisoned?"
Jiujiu blinked. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou Haiqing's serious face. She thought for a moment and said, "My consultation fee is very expensive."
Zhou Haiqing, "It's fine even if each word is worth a thousand gold."
"Okay, let's go. I'll treat you." Jiujiu took Zhou Haiqing's hand and walked into the room.
The moment Jiujiu held Zhou Haiqing's hand, Zhou Haiqing's body stiffened and his eyes darkened.
Jiujiu pressed Zhou Haiqing to the seat and placed her hand on Zhou Haiqing's wrist. She felt Zhou Haiqing's pulse, "Yes, husband, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The truth."
"You have been poisoned, and it has been for a long time. Hmm … about half a month."
"Madam, can you help me?" Zhou Haiqing looked deeply at Jiujiu and asked.
Jiujiu, "I can, but can I ask a more intimate question?" Thinking of the question she was about to ask, Jiujiu's cheeks turned red and hot.
Although she had already had sex with her man countless times, she still felt embarrassed to ask such an intimate question in front of Zhou Haiqing.
"Um, have you had a woman before?"
Zhou Haiqing didn't expect Jiujiu to ask such a question. His eyes darkened and he looked straight into Jiujiu's eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, why are you asking this?"
Sensing the change in Zhou Haiqing, Jiujiu's face turned even redder, "You've had a woman before, so you need to change the medicine you need. Also, if you want your future, hmm ~ that thing to not be affected, you need to abstain from sex for a month."
"Like this?" Zhou Haiqing looked down and hid the disappointment in his eyes. He said softly, "I'm still a virgin."
Jiujiu, "…"
Zhou Haiqing explained, "I practice the Virgin Technique. Once we consummate, half of my power will be given to the woman, so …"
"Oh, I understand," Jiujiu looked at Zhou Haiqing sympathetically and sighed when she heard him mention the Virgin Technique.
No wonder he didn't touch her last night. It was because of the Virgin Technique.
Thinking about it, it made sense. She had worked so hard to cultivate, but she had to give half of her power to the other party just because they had sex. This was no different from a cabbage that she had worked so hard to cultivate all winter being eaten by a pig. Just thinking about it made her feel bad.
