Chapter 544 - Different from Imagination
"Your Majesty is indeed poisoned, and this is a chronic poison that goes unnoticed at first. Those who have taken this poison will only become emaciated and weak, and look like ordinary people, only because they are getting older. ”
Seeing that Jiang Liang was so interested in this matter, Zhao Jingxuan was also happy to satisfy her curiosity, so he directly told Zhang Qingting's diagnosis results.
"If you stop taking the drug at the beginning, the toxin will be digested and eliminated by the body without much impact. But with the passage of time, the content of this poison is constantly accumulated in the body, and little by little, one day it will reach a fatal effect. ”
"Then, why didn't that person use such a technique to directly ...... His Majesty in the first place?"
Jiang Liang raised her eyebrows, although she had long known that this was a chronic poison and would not pose a threat to the emperor's life in the first place, but wouldn't it be safer to moisturize things in such a silent way.
She really couldn't guess why the man was drugged at such a time.
"Because he doesn't have enough time."
Zhao Jingxuan chuckled and shook his head, "At first, he was indeed very cautious, lest the revelation of his affairs would lead to total ruin. However, his current power is completely different from before, and since he successfully won over King Cheng and the crown prince, he must have made some changes that we don't know about. ”
"His health is deteriorating, and of course he doesn't want His Majesty to be prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. Dr. Zhang said that he would directly use the fierce medicine this time because he had a premonition that he was dying, and the last day of the Imperial Chef Dabi, that is, when you were facing the saint, happened to be an auspicious day of the zodiac. ”
"You mean ......"
Jiang Liang swallowed, thinking of the ability that the man possessed.
She suspected that this formation could really destroy everything, if the emperor was also within the scope of the other party's sacrifice, then once the emperor died, after this formation was formed, it might be difficult to crack this game.
"Ah Xuan, I need you to help me."
Jiang Liang thought of the Soul Rejuvenation Pill provided by the system, and he had an idea in his heart.
"I have a life-saving elixir here, and while I'm not sure if it's true that it brings people back to life as its name suggests, I want to try it."
Jiang Liang said, looking at Zhao Jingxuan seriously, she knew that this time had reached the most critical moment, if this matter could not be successful, I am afraid that everything in the future would be frozen at this time, and everyone would have no future at all.
"Huh?"
Zhao Jingxuan didn't expect Jiang Liang to make such a request, and he was stunned when he heard this, but then reacted.
"Ah Li, do you really have a way to save Your Majesty?"
"Actually, I'm not completely sure, but this Soul Rejuvenation Pill and Qingling Spring Water should be able to save people."
Jiang Liang took a deep breath and mentioned how he had obtained the Soul Rejuvenation Pill. "I'm afraid that the leader of the Zhenyu Alliance will also appear at that time, and I think I may be able to kill two birds with one stone and catch him."
"Okay, tell me how to do it, I'll listen."
Zhao Jingxuan listened to Jiang Li's explanation and decided to give it a try, and the reason was very simple, that is, his trust in Jiang Liang for no reason.
Seeing this, Jiang Liang showed a bright smile, leaned on Zhao Jingxuan's shoulder, and whispered her plan.
She knows that this kind of thing needs to pay attention to both people and stolen goods, otherwise it is easy for the other party to grasp the handle just their one-sided words, and in turn things will be unfavorable to them.
And even if the person who knows the other party in his heart may make a move in the third game, he can't be sure that the person who poisoned him is really the chef of the Zhen Yu Alliance who advanced to the end this time.
Maybe the other party is just a trick, but the mastermind is actually someone else.
Once it is known that the people of the Zhen Yu Alliance may be planting people in the palace, it seems that there are dangers lurking everywhere, which makes people feel extremely uneasy.
Jiang Liang knew that if he couldn't kill him with one blow, he was afraid that they would suffer from it next.
"We can't stop everything and make sure Your Majesty is unharmed, so we can only lure the snake out of the hole."
Jiang Liang took a deep breath, although she felt that this move was very risky, maybe they would suffer greatly if the emperor blamed them, but she was more concerned about the people of the entire Qing Dynasty than personal gains and losses.
"We're probably going to have to take a big gamble, don't you dare?"
"Your Majesty is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and no matter what happens, you and I will be together."
Zhao Jingxuan gently touched Jiang Li's head, hoping that her gentleness would reassure her.
A gentle breeze blew, dispersing the whispers of the two in the wind.
Jiang Liang unexpectedly slept well this night, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt that his body was full of strength.
Because he already knew the exam questions yesterday, Jiang Liang had already thought about how to deal with today's test at night, so not only did he not panic at all, but he behaved energetically.
Unlike her, the other chefs, including the cook sent by the Zhen Yu Alliance, all looked very nervous, and Jiang Liang was immediately distinguished from the others.
It was the first time Jiang Liang had seen the emperor, and although he had imagined what the emperor would look like before, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it with his own eyes.
In fact, Jiang Liang didn't feel the so-called emperor's temperament too much, the other party was good-looking, but he was only a little more imposing than ordinary middle-aged people.
Although it was only a quick glance, Jiang Liang still clearly saw the emperor's face, compared to the average middle-aged man of this age, the emperor's complexion was not very good, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was enduring some unknown pain.
If he hadn't known about the emperor's physical condition before, Jiang Liang would not have such an association, at most he felt that this was the majesty of the emperor.
The five of them saluted the emperor in turn, and then they were arranged in their respective positions, and began to work nervously as the chamberlain gave the order.
In addition to the emperor, many people from the royal family also came to join in the fun, and it can be seen that they also attach great importance to the imperial chef competition.
Jiang Liang lowered her head and focused on cooking, just glancing around from time to time, she was curious about who would be the one who made the move.
Making a dish that corresponds to the power of the five elements requires a chef to master a lot of knowledge, in addition to understanding the food, but also knowing how to reconcile the flavors of the five dishes so that everything tends to be balanced, and no dish will appear abrupt and dominating.
And each dish cannot be repeated, it needs to have its own characteristics.
Jiang Liang handled the ingredients seriously, she had already had inspiration, and of course she didn't seem flustered at all at this time, and quickly prepared a few dishes.
When she finished the work in front of her, the waiter also happened to stop at this time, and everyone hurriedly put down the kitchen utensils without looking at the stove again.
