Gongsun came to the imperial dining room alone.

After judging that the reason for Jieli's deteriorating complexion was most likely caused by chronic poisoning, the first thing he thought of was the imperial dining room.

After all, people live on food, and poisoning food is definitely the easiest way to poison people.

As the lord of the barbarian country, the food he eats must go through the link of drug testing before eating.

However, there are also many poisoning methods that conceal the drug testing process, which Gongsun can think of as long as he thinks about it a little.

One of the reasons why he came to the imperial dining room was because he wanted to see what kind of poison was in Jieli, and if he could know the name of the poison in him, he might be able to detoxify it.

In addition, he came to the imperial dining room to investigate the poisoning of the tea of the two princes.

According to the clues provided by Yuan Lin, the spearhead of this matter is also directly pointed at the imperial dining room.

And what is even more coincidental is that the similarity between these two things is poisoning.

Gongsun had a hunch that there might be some connection between the two, so he came to the imperial dining room to investigate.

However, he did not directly enter the imperial dining room in the name of investigating the case, but entered as a doctor.

As for the reason for entering the imperial dining room, of course, it is the illness of the third princess.

He told the head chef that the third princess needed to carefully consider her diet because of her illness and could not touch fried and spicy food, so she specially came to inspect it on the secret order of Jieli Khan.

Naturally, the head chef wouldn't say anything, so he let him check casually in the imperial dining room.

As a result, there was a rather bizarre scene in the imperial dining room.

All the imperial chefs were busy preparing the imperial meal for noon, and a young scholar who was a little weak was shuttling through all corners of the imperial dining room, looking around to see them busy.

He walked slowly past each of the Imperial Chefs.

The gaze swept between the hands of every imperial chef.

Whether it was chopping vegetables, holding the spoon, turning the pot, or lighting the fire, he did not let go, and carefully observed them one by one.

Later, the head chef also noticed that this person did not seem to have come to inspect the food.

However, the head chef didn't pay much attention to it, after all, this was the imperial dining room, and it was not a confidential place, so there were no secrets at all.

Gongsun walked around the imperial dining room twice, and finally, his eyes stayed on a hand chopping vegetables.

This is a very ordinary hand, wide, heavy, and coarse-skinned, not much different from the hands of other imperial chefs.

But when Gongsun saw this hand, he still raised his eyebrows with interest.

Because he noticed that there was a thick callus on the tiger's mouth of this hand.

After looking at it carefully for a while, his gaze followed the hand to its owner.

That's a very ordinary man.

At the age of about forty, with a scruffy beard, he looks a little sloppy.

There is no noticeable feature on this person's body at all.

Gongsun believed that if he took off his imperial kitchen clothes, changed him into the uniform of a palace guard, and let him stand at the gate of the palace on duty, it would never arouse the suspicion of others.

After taking a closer look at this person's appearance, Gongsun came to the head chef with a smile and said goodbye to him.

Then he left the imperial dining room.

And that person is still chopping vegetables in an orderly manner......

It didn't take long for the meal to arrive, and the head chef took the freshly prepared imperial meal and put it on the food plate.

"Yuan Ping, the imperial meal that Your Majesty wants is already ready, you should send it over quickly, otherwise it will be bad for Your Majesty to wait in a hurry, it will be a loss of head. The head chef urged one of the chefs beside him.

"It's coming...... the imperial chef hurriedly came to the manager and picked up the plate.

"Why don't you go soon...... the manager urged again.

Yuan Ping had no choice but to leave the imperial dining room with a food plate and head towards the Shang study where the khan was.

As he walked, he suddenly raised his head and looked around, and after finding that there was no one around, he hurriedly came to a corner with a food plate, and after putting the food plate away, he took out a paper bag from his arms.

Open the paper packet and there are four small wrapped paper packets inside.

He looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one around, he opened the four small paper packets one by one, and sprinkled the medicinal powder inside into four different imperial meals.

After doing all this, he crumpled the four pieces of paper wrapped in the powdered medicine and threw them aside.

After the medicinal powder was completely dissolved into the imperial diet, he picked up the food plate again and continued to walk towards the study.

After a few moments, no one was seen.

However, just after the others had completely left this place, a figure came out of nowhere and stood where he had just stood.

This person is Gongsun.

And that Yuan Ping was also the person he noticed in the imperial dining room.

Gongsun looked at the back of the imperial chef leaving, squinted his eyes slightly, and then looked around, as if looking for something.

Soon, he found it.

It was the four pieces of paper that had been crumpled up by the imperial chef and thrown away.

......

......

Chen Yutian looked at the four pieces of paper that had been stretched out again on the table, and looked at Gongsun.

"Did you really see the whole process of poisoning?"

"Not bad. Gongsun nodded, "I saw with my own eyes that the imperial chef poured four different medicinal powders into different meals, and there is no mistake with them, and these are the pieces of paper that have been used to package those medicinal powders." ”

Chen Yutian looked at the pieces of paper on the table and asked, "Then can you see what kind of medicine these four are the powders of medicines?"

Gongsun shook his head, "These four medicines are not medicinal materials from the Central Plains, I have seen them in books at most, and I really can't judge them based on the only medicinal powder and smell left on this paper." ”

Chen Yutian was surprised, "There are still medicinal materials in this world that you don't know?"

Gongsun smiled bitterly, "I am also a human, not a god, there are so many medicinal materials in the world, I naturally can't know them all, just like adults, you will also have things that you can't see." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian also smiled.

"Again, since that's the case, then you have to turn to others for help. ”

"Don't worry, I'll figure out the ingredients and types of these four drugs as soon as possible. ”

Gongsun also nodded, and then looked at the empty room around him, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"By the way, where did the others go? It's a little strange that you can't see anyone at dinner time. ”

Chen Yutian smiled, "I asked them to help me do an experiment, I guess I should be back soon." ”

As soon as the words came out, he heard Xuan Xi's voice coming from outside.

"Yutian, we're back......"

Gongsun turned around and saw Xuan Xi and Tang Fengling happily running in from outside, followed by Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin with a slightly speechless face.

Chen Yutian looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "I'm back, what's the situation?"

Xuan Xi happily replied, "It's exactly the same as you think!"

Chen Yutian bowed slightly, "In this way, things are gradually starting to become clear......"

Gongsun looked at the two of them and asked one after another, and couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked Chen Yutian, "My lord, what kind of experiment did you ask them to do?"

Chen Yutian smiled meaningfully, "Is this...... Leave it a secret for now. When the time comes, you'll know. ”

Gongsun was slightly stunned, but after seeing Chen Yutian's obviously enlightened eyes, he nodded slightly and didn't ask any more.

However, at this moment, the transmission order in Chen Yutian's arms suddenly lit up......

......

......

Woniu Mountain.

After the enemy in the other two stone caves was completely defeated, the entire stronghold fell into the hands of the Jiulong Mansion and the Taiyi Tianfu group.

With the enthusiastic help of the Ice King, the group rebuilt an ice prison in the middle cave and imprisoned all enemies in it.

At this point, the stronghold of Woniu Mountain completely fell.

After half a day's rest, Huo Yuanji and the others sat together, and their eyes all converged on the face of the eighth princess who had just been liberated from the cage, Lang Hua.

At this moment, the dirt on this face has been cleaned.

However, there are a lot of bruises, but they still remain.

Concubine Ling looked at the eighth princess quite distressed.

Obviously, you are a princess of a barbarian country, but she was locked up in this kind of place and treated like this, but fortunately, those people still have a bottom line and did not do that kind of thing to her.

Jian Xinghan and Ye Xiaohan walked over from the stone cave in the middle.

They were responsible for interrogating those enemies.

"I've already interrogated, these people are the remnants of the fox rebellion twenty years ago, and they have grown over the years, and this is one of their two largest strongholds. ”

Ye Xiaohan reported to everyone.

Others may not be able to hear this, but the eight princesses and the spirit concubine involuntarily changed their faces.

"What do you say they are...... The remnants of the Fox Clan's rebellion?" asked Concubine Ling.

Ye Xiaohan nodded, "Not bad." ”

Concubine Ling nodded her head, "I see, I didn't expect that there would be remnants of the traitorous party involved...... It seems that they should be thieves and want to continue the rebellion of the fox clan. ”

Huo Yuanji thought about it, and his expression became slightly solemn, "According to this view, the black-robed national teacher should also be their person......"

Concubine Ling nodded, "Yes, but I don't understand one thing, I used the Spirit Fox Secret Technique to make predictions before, and finally learned that the person who killed me should be from Daliang Mountain in the Central Plains." Judging from the subsequent development of events, the person who harmed me is obviously the black-robed national teacher, but since he is from the Central Plains, how can he have contact with the remnants of the fox clan's rebellious party?"

After getting along for the past few days, she also discovered the characteristics of the Eight Holy Clans in Lin Feifei and Bai Fan, so she also announced her identity as a descendant of the Spirit Fox Holy Clan.

However, hearing this, the Ice King and Yan Zun, who were closing their eyes and recuperating on the side, suddenly opened their eyes.

"Girl, what did you say? Have you used the Spirit Fox Prediction Technique?"

"So, is your Spirit Fox Clan's talent wisdom?"

Concubine Ling nodded obediently, "What the two seniors said is right, my talent is indeed wisdom." ”

"That's right. The Spirit Fox Holy Clan's prediction technique has never gone wrong. ”

Yan Zun subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuanji.

Hearing this, Huo Yuanji and Bai Fan's bodies were suddenly shocked!

They suddenly thought of Lang Yue's move to explore Daliang Mountain when they were in the future barbarian country before.

After listening to Concubine Ling's words, they finally fully understood Lang Yue's behavior at that time.

At the same time, it also made them have an extremely amazing guess in their hearts.

Lin Feifei glanced at each of them suspiciously, curious, "What's wrong with you, why do you show such a look?"

Huo Yuanji and Bai Fan glanced at each other, the latter sorted out his thoughts and slowly spoke, "I doubt it...... That black-robed national teacher is likely to be ...... In the battle of sacrificing to the heavens, he tried to assassinate the remnants of the Jianghuai League of the Son of Heaven. ”

Huo Yuanji nodded, "I also think there is such a possibility." ”

Taiyi Tianfu and his entourage looked at them with some confusion.

Although they knew about the Jianghuai League's assassination of the Son of Heaven, they had only heard the rumors and did not know the specific details.

"The remnants of the Jianghuai League?"

Wu Dongtian, who happened to come from the middle cave, suddenly shouted, "This is unlikely, except for Ye Hong, almost all of the Jianghuai League are dead......"

"No......" Huo Yuanji shook his head, "In addition to Ye Hong's defection to the Heaven Overturning Sect, there are two other people who have always been missing......

Wu Dongtian was slightly stunned, then his eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke, "You mean ......?"

Huo Yuanji nodded, "That's right, it's our old opponent, the Evil Shadow and the head of the Flower Sect, Hua Jian...... The whereabouts of these two people have been unknown since the battle of the Heavenly Sacrifice, and there has been no news of the two of them on the rivers and lakes......"

Wu Dongtian was slightly surprised, and looked at Huo Yuanji tentatively, "So you doubt it...... They have been exiled to this barbarian country in the Western Regions?"

Huo Yuanji nodded, "It's not impossible, maybe they really fell into the barbarian country and joined the remnants of the fox clan's rebellious party, so that Concubine Ling's prediction can be explained." ”

Concubine Ling bowed, "Indeed, this can indeed explain why my prediction will be the Great Liang Mountain in the Central Plains." ”

Wu Dongtian thought for a while, "If you say...... If the black-robed national teacher is the evil shadow, then who will be among the flowers?"

Bai Fan smiled and pointed at the eighth princess, "I'm going to ask the eighth princess about this." ”

The eighth princess pointed to her nose and wondered, "Ask me?"

Huo Yuanji nodded slightly, "I really want you to answer the eighth princess." Do you remember why you got here?"

When the eighth princess heard this, the whole person was stunned!

After a while, she looked at Huo Yuanji with some uncertainty and asked, "Is that flower room you are talking about a woman?"

"Not bad. Lin Feifei nodded, "The head of the Flower Sect is indeed a woman. ”

The eighth princess let out a long sigh, "Then I know who she is." ”

"Who is it?"

"It's my eldest sister's personal palace maid. The Eighth Princess sighed slowly, "I was caught here because I happened to see them plotting to set fire to the cold palace in the dormitory." ”

"What?" Concubine Ling was taken aback!

"It was the idea of the eldest princess to set fire to the cold palace and take the opportunity to transfer me here?"

She was completely shocked!

After the fire in the cold palace, in the cage of the stone cave, she thought many times about who had laid down such a conspiracy.

The answer to this question, she has thought about many people, including the black-robed national teacher and the concubine Khan in the harem who has a grudge against her, but she never thought that she would be the eldest princess.

"It's not all. The eighth princess sighed again, as if she was a little helpless, "Even the death of the two royal brothers was planned by her and the personal maid called Huajian." ”

"What?"

This time, not only Concubine Ling, but even the others present were also taken aback!
