Chapter 1161: Explanation
All of a sudden, Lord Xia came up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. Did the Westerners poison this thing or was it someone else?
Was this targeting him alone or all the officials of Great Qi?
Most importantly, why did King Rong only send the three children to inform him of such an important matter? At the very least, he should have sent a more dependable servant, right?
What if these three children delayed getting here because they were too playful? Would he be poisoned to death then?
Lord Xia was shocked. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, causing him to feel a little dizzy.
The three children could not tell what Lord Xia was thinking, only noticing that he suddenly stood still. Little Leopard and Baozhu were anxious to make a contribution, so they tugged at Little Fu who in turn went to tug at Lord Xia. "Grandfather, Grandfather, hand me this poisonous tobacco."
In a daze, Lord Xia took out the thing and handed it to them. He asked, "Is this thing really poisonous? Who told you?"
"Fourth Aunt said it." Little Fu hugged the box and said without thinking, "Fourth Uncle sent us here to collect this from you to prevent you from being poisoned."
Mu Yangling’s original words were, "Smoking is harmful to one’s health."
Qi Haoran’s original words were, "Since I still don’t know what those foreigners did to the cigar, it’s better to take it back and investigate it one by one. Besides, tobacco is indeed not a good thing. Not many people in the imperial court smoke."
