The whole family, including the dog, is a villain.

Jun Huanzhi followed the same method and tried all the gold and silver one by one.

Sure enough, they are all marked.

Jewelry was very delicate and could not be melted like gold and silver, so he did not touch it.

“They are all useless.”

"Why?"

Si Xi didn't quite understand and asked doubtfully, "If we just melt all the gold and silver, won't the brand disappear?"

"The brand can be erased, but the aura cannot."

Jun Huanzhi's expression was a little heavy. "These gold and silver are specially made. When they were smelted, they were mixed with a medicine. It will not dissipate for a long time, but it does not cause any harm. It is usually used for tracking."

Si Xi's move was still to the left.

The old fox Chu Batian has already suspected him.

Don't be fooled by Chu Batian's rough appearance, he is actually a very meticulous person. If you think he is just a reckless man, you are totally wrong!

"Then what should we do?"

Si Xi was almost crying.

"Stand still."

Jun Huanzhi took out a silver ingot and gave it to Sixi, saying, "Go buy some meat, and by the way, tell Shijin to stay calm and don't contact me."

Si Xi nodded.

Not long after, Si Xi came back with a piece of pork and nodded at Jun Huanzhi.

Jun Huan knew what was going on, and that was that the news had been leaked.

"You help me light the fire, and I'll cook."

Jun Huanzhi rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

As the saying goes, it’s always good to have many skills. Jun Huanzhi has mastered eighteen martial arts in the cold palace, including... cooking?

“Can you cook?”

Si Xi couldn't help but doubt.

"Cooking is not that difficult."

Jun Huanzhi has read many recipes in the library.

However, every time he finished reading a recipe book, the old eunuch who cleaned the library would take the recipe book out to dry in the sun when the weather was good.

What else could be the reason!

Of course he was drooling because of greed.

In the cold palace, there was a lack of food and clothing, not to mention that he was just a child. It was natural for a child to crave meat.

Little Huanzhi often drools while looking through recipes.

In particular, the recipes collected in the palace are all famous dishes from the prosperous times, which not only include ingredients and methods, but also illustrations.

The lifelike diagrams of the finished dishes made Xiao Huanzhi drool so much that he even wet the recipe book.

When he was older, he learned to control himself and stopped drooling at the illustrations.

Jun Huanzhi has always wanted to cook, but unfortunately, even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Although my mind is full of recipes, they are just paper talk.

Jun Huanzhi plans to make a braised pork dish.

Although it was his first time, Jun Huanzhi had strong hands-on skills and did not make any mistakes.

“You are amazing!”

Si Xi was shocked. He didn't know that His Majesty could cook.

In the next few days, Jun Huanzhi cooked in different ways.

Anyway, the money can’t be used to pay off debts, it can only be used to improve life.

"I don't think there's anything special about this Taoist priest..."

The guard sniffed and said, "It smells so good!"

"It is indeed very fragrant. I don't know how this Taoist priest made the dish, but the taste is simply amazing, even more fragrant than the signature dish of Baiweilou!"

Baiweilou is the best restaurant in the imperial city, and an ordinary cold dish costs ten taels of silver.

In the kitchen.

Jun Huanzhi was cooking, and Si Xi was anxious: "Why are you still cooking? The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is coming soon. If you don't go back, Xiao Qi may not be able to handle it."

"Not urgent."

Jun Huanzhi cooked calmly: "They left soon."

He looked up at the half-open kitchen window and said, "Open the window wider."

Si Xi opened the window as he was told.

The aroma of food wafted out through the wide-open windows.

“It smells so good!”

"no!"

"I can't bear it anymore!"

"Whoever wants to spy on me can do so. I'm done with this anyway!"

The surveillance officer went to the Zhenguogong Mansion and reported the situation to Chu Batian: "General, the Taoist priest cooks different dishes every day, which makes the brothers very greedy. They are all in a bad mood. I have been watching him for several days and I don't think there is anything suspicious about him."

"Then withdraw the people."

Compared to a Taoist priest, Chu Batian was more concerned about another thing: "Have you found the witch doctor and the Gu Master?"

Although Tangtang hasn't been trying to get close to the toad little emperor recently, and has been staying at home obediently.

But he always felt a little uneasy because his precious daughter had been behaving so abnormally lately.

She had dismissed all her lovers and there was no one to play with her at home. How could she stay there?

There must be something fishy going on here!

****

A dilapidated courtyard.

“Those people have withdrawn.”

Jun Huanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and went to check the secret door. Everything was normal and there was no sign of passivity.

"Si Xi, I'm going to go get Xiao Qi back. You can come back to the palace tomorrow."

"promise."

Si Xi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Jun Huanzhi finally took off the human skin mask on his face.

The human skin mask is not breathable and fits the skin very well, not to mention that it has been worn for several days in a row. The moment the mask was taken off, the white jade face flushed a little red, but it was nothing serious.

Si Xi poured hot water for Jun Huanzhi and helped him take a bath and change his clothes.

Jun Huanzhi finally felt like he was alive again.

Come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation through the secret passage.

Xiao Qi almost cried when she saw Jun Huanzhi: "Master, you are finally back."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The two exchanged clothes and information with each other.

"Chu Chengwen is back?"

Jun Huanzhi was a little surprised: "Is the old lady's illness cured?"

Chu Chengwen is the former prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the only son of Chu Batian's eldest brother.

However, he died on the battlefield before he could inherit the title, and the title fell to Chu Batian.

Although Chu Batian inherited the title, he still asked the late emperor to confer the title of the Duke of Zhenguo on Chu Chengwen.

Chu Chengwen had been weak since childhood and could not practice martial arts, so he could only study literature.

Later, the tutor sent to him by Chu Batian always followed him and was inseparable.

The day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet happened to be the anniversary of Chu Chengwen's mother's death, so he left the palace to pay his respects.

That day, Jiang Chutang fell into the water and passed out, and the entire Zhenguo Mansion suffered as a result...

Jun Huanzhi was left in the Princess's Mansion to recuperate, and there was no need for Chu Chengwen to return to the palace as a spy, so he stayed in Songheyuan to take care of the old lady.

The old lady was old, and although it was only a minor illness, it took her a month to recover. Not to mention that she was already confused. Chu Chengwen was raised by the old lady and was particularly close to his grandmother, so he was naturally worried and stayed in Songheyuan to take care of her.

It was not until a few days ago that the old lady finally recovered from her illness, and Chu Chengwen returned to the palace to continue monitoring Jun Huanzhi's every move.

Xiao Qi nodded: "I came back the day before yesterday."

"No flaws revealed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strong voice from outside: "I have something important to ask your Majesty!"
