"Your Highness?"
"Fourth Imperial Brother!"
Everyone tensed.
Xiao Yao realized that the one standing before her, snatching the crayfish from her hand, was none other than Prince Xuan.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Xiao Yao blinked.
If they didn't believe her, she would eat it for them first!
How could she prove it if they wouldn't even let her eat?
Feng Jin Rui stepped forward, anxious, "Fourth Imperial Brother, I'll eat it first!"
Fourth Imperial Brother intended to test it himself, but what if this Li Jia worm was poisonous?
Leng Ji also grew anxious, "Your Highness, this worm, I'll eat it first!"
When it came to testing for poison, it should never be the Prince's turn!
If it truly was poisonous, he would have to be the one to test it with his own body.
How could they let the Prince do it himself?
Leng Ji tried to snatch the Li Jia worm from Feng Ye Xuan's hand, but was stopped by the cold gaze of Feng Ye Xuan.
The Prince truly intended to try it himself?
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. I said I can try it for you."
Xiao Yao had no idea what these people were so nervous about.
However, it was most likely because they were afraid of poison?
After all, it was a new food for them.
"I'll..."
"Daring to be strong in front of this Prince?" Feng Ye Xuan's gaze deepened.
Xiao Yao immediately retracted her outstretched hand and glared at him, "It's the people around Your Highness who are afraid!"
This girl actually dared to put on a displeased face for their Prince, and even dared to complain!
The people around, except for the eager Feng Jin Rui, held their breath, not daring to exhale.
Leng Ji was the same.
Since he had known the Prince, it seemed only one woman had dared to act this way.
That would be...
Oh my heavens! How could this little girl named Xiao Yao, as they watched, bear some resemblance to their Princess?
However, the Princess was now thousands of miles away and could not possibly be here.
Moreover, this face, this voice, were completely unlike...
"Fourth Imperial Brother, I can too..." Feng Jin Rui was no longer nervous, but rather, elated!
He really wanted to try it!
Feng Ye Xuan glanced at him.
This fellow, wanting him to grow up quickly, yet his mindset remained that of a child!
"How do you eat it?" He lowered his gaze, staring at the little one standing before him.
Xiao Yao immediately said, "You eat this piece of meat in the middle. See, this tender white piece of meat. The other parts are not edible."
Feng Ye Xuan picked up the Li Jia worm.
The Prefect's legs went weak with panic, still making a last-ditch effort, "Your Highness, this thing, why don't you let this subordinate try it first?"
He would rather die from poison himself than let the Prince have an accident in their Qingxi Town.
If anything were to happen to the Prince here, the people of Qingxi Town would suffer.
Feng Ye Xuan ignored him, lowered his head, and put the piece of tender meat into his mouth.
Everyone was staring at him, their eyes fixed on him.
Feng Jin Rui had already walked up to them, also staring at his Imperial Brother, "Fourth Imperial Brother... how is it?"
Feng Ye Xuan chewed twice carefully, then swallowed the piece of meat.
His exceptionally handsome face showed no expression at all.
Feng Jin Rui was both expectant and uneasy, "Fourth Imperial Brother..."
Xiao Yao picked up another Li Jia worm, peeled off its head as before, and gently pried open its body, revealing the tender white meat.
Her eyes curved into crescents, and she smiled at Feng Ye Xuan, "Your Highness, how is it? Do you want another one?"
This damned girl, her courage was truly immense!
The people around watched, their hearts pounding.
Yet, unexpectedly, this time the Prince did not hesitate. He lowered his head and bit into the white meat.
However, to everyone's astonishment once again, the Prince... accepted Xiao Yao's feeding?
The moment the white meat entered his mouth, Feng Ye Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
He had actually eaten something from this girl's hand, his thin lips almost brushing against her fingertips!
In his life, apart from that dead woman, no one else was allowed to appear.
But today, inexplicably, it had happened!
