Xie Jue sneered coldly, "After Zhixu and I regrouped in Zhongzhou, on the way back to the city, he told me about Yuwen Jing using poison on Ayu. Ayu is unharmed, but he suspected Yuwen Jing might be bluffing. Yet I couldn't take the risk because I know how bizarre and unpredictable these poisons can be. So, after returning to the Capital City, I had Ying Si and others watching you. Your food, clothing, shelter, and movements—I know them all like the back of my hand. During this time, your diet has noticeably changed, specifically requesting numerous broths that replenish qi and blood. You're Beiman, with a strong preference for alcohol, beef, and lamb; when it comes to soups, you only favor beef and lamb broth and dislike sweets. But lately, your menu features many sweet soups. You claim the dates in Capital City are delicious, even bought ten-some pounds to store at the courier station. Such a sudden change in dietary habits must have a reason, right?"
