[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

The sage's idea is: You give me a problem, I'm sorry, I will throw the pot back right now, and it's hard for you.

Since Liu Mei claimed that there was something wrong with the fugu Baizi, he wanted Liu Mei to try it to prove it himself - if it is poisonous, it will be dead, if it is not poisonous, it will be death.

And the saint's move may not really mean Liu Mei's death in his heart.

Firstly, he had to give the Dongying people an explanation on the bright side, and secondly, he also wanted to see how Shiqing would react when this order came out—after all, this guy was unmarried at such an age, and yet To be so close to such a handsome young man, I think it should be a good thing in my heart.

It must be known that Shiqing's title is "Zhongshun", and the saint's expectation of him is nothing more than the word "Zhongshun".

Sure enough, Shiqing's complexion sank, and he bowed to Zhili, wanting to speak, but for some reason, he stopped like a precipice and did not say anything.

Liu Mei, who was beside him, rushed up to salute very cleverly, and said loudly: "Xiaomin is willing to prove for the Holy One!"

Then she straightened up and urged the food-testing waiter beside her in a low voice: "Why don't you quickly take down the plate of white rice in front of the Holy One?"

The waiter in charge of tasting opened his eyes and looked at Liu Mei, thinking: Little master, are you stupid or are you stupid?

But since the sage spoke first, the food-tasting servant had no choice but to step forward, toss around from the hands of the servants beside the sage, take down the plate of white rice, and send it to Liu Mei.

At the same time, Shiqing turned around, ordered a few words to an attendant, and urged him again and again, saying, "Go quickly——"

The sage knew that Shiqing had ordered someone to invite the imperial physician, so he didn't speak at the moment, just sat quietly and watched the changes.

Liu Mei was calm and composed, seeing that the food-testing waiter brought the puffer porpoise in front of her, she took a silver knife and a silver spoon, and fiddled with the buffalo that the sage had carried just now.

"Little master, don't you think that this silverware can also test out the poison of puffer fish!" The strange voice of the Dongying prince next to him sounded again.

Silver needles are useless for the poison of puffer fish, otherwise all the gourmets in the world would use silver needles to test the poison, wouldn't this puffer fish be eaten to extinction long ago?

Liu Mei squinted her mouth, gave the Dongying prince a hard look, and turned the white piece over with a silver spoon: "Do you think this one is just as simple as a white piece?"

Sure enough, I saw that the bottom of the white piece was mixed with some yellowish substances.

Prince Dongying's expression changed.

He had seen this earlier, and felt a little strange in his heart.It's just that he thinks he has cooked countless puffer fish. Although this white piece is a bit strange, he has also washed all other organs and blood... and the white piece has always been non-toxic, even if it comes with such a strange color Things, it shouldn't be a big deal!

I saw Liu Mei fixed Bai Zi with a silver spoon, and cut Bai Zi with the two-inch long silver knife.

She didn't taste it, but turned to Prince Dongying and said: "The prince just roasted it with fire, and he will shrink all the toxins contained in this white piece into the center of this white piece, so the center of this white piece... "

She pointed the knife at the light yellow spot in the center of Bai Zi, "...is the most poisonous."

Seeing this, Prince Dongying also felt startled, and after a second thought, he became aggressive again, "Little guy, don't try to be a sensationalist, the pufferfish baizi is not poisonous, it's a fact—you can eat this baizi if you have the ability!"

Liu Mei smiled, brushed the silver knife at the center of Bai Zi, and then placed the silver knife on the tip of her tongue——

She seemed to have made up her mind, so she licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue.

Shiqing was standing behind her at this moment, and immediately reached out to support her shoulders.

With a sound of "Dang", the silver knife in Liu Mei's hand fell to the ground.Her face turned blue in an instant, her breathing stopped, her fingertips trembled, and she couldn't hold the silver knife and spoon tightly in her hand for a while.

Shiqing immediately stepped forward, hugged Liu Mei tightly, and shouted loudly: "The imperial physician, hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"

Fortunately, after a while, Liu Mei's complexion returned to normal, with blood again.She took a deep breath, straightened her back in Shiqing's arms, looked up at Shiqing and said, "No...it's all right..."

She was indeed testing the poison with herself just now, but what she tested was just a little bit of Baizi juice on the tip of the knife.

That little juice alone was enough to paralyze Liu Mei's whole body for a moment.

Fortunately, the amount of toxin was too small, and Liu Mei recovered immediately in a short time, so there was no serious problem.

"... so exciting!" Liu Mei concluded in a low voice. When she was young, she caught puffer fish by the river, and "played" with her friends two or three times, but it was never as dangerous as this time. .

Shiqing's face was completely black and cloudy, and he was obviously full of anger, and he had long been unable to control himself.

Liu Mei blushed a little, and thought to herself—it's rare for him to be so afraid of playing like this, and what's even more rare...he actually held back, and he hasn't had an attack until now.

When everyone saw the sudden change in the Zichen Palace, they were naturally shocked.

The most surprising thing was the saint himself.

He saw that Liu Mei had only tried a little bit of the juice, and it was already so dangerous—if he had swallowed that white piece just now, the consequences...the consequences would have been unimaginable, he was putting his life and the future of the dynasty as a Children's play!

The saint suddenly felt a cold sweat break out from behind.

Just at this moment, to add to the confusion, I saw the Dongpu envoy let out a "gudong", leaned back, and fell to the ground with the chair, foaming at the mouth, trembling all over, lying on the ground on his back, losing his mind.

Immediately, the Zichen Palace became chaotic.

The servants brought by the Japanese envoy thought that the envoy had been poisoned, and shouted for help.The sage, however, was furious and ordered loudly, ordering the guards in Zichen Hall to arrest the Dongying prince.

It was also a coincidence that the two imperial physicians that Shiqing ordered to invite before arrived at this time with their medicine boxes.

Liu Mei immediately pointed to the Dongpu envoy who was paralyzed on the ground, "Go to see him first, I guess he was frightened and went mad with epilepsy."

One of the imperial physicians seemed to be good at dealing with epilepsy, so he rushed up first, pulled out several silver needles, and stabbed the Japanese envoy's head and face randomly. After piercing, the Japanese envoy finally stopped trembling and gasped. The roughness slowed down.

The Imperial Physician concluded forcefully: "It is indeed epilepsy, not fugu poisoning."

Another imperial doctor arrived, and became interested in the white puffer fish that was still held in the hand of the stunned food-testing waiter next to him.

Like Liu Mei, he took a silver knife, dipped a little juice in the middle of the white knife, put it up to his nose to smell it, and carefully brought it to his mouth——

Shiqing's face darkened, and he called out: "The doctor!"

The imperial doctor ignored Shiqing, still tapped the tip of his tongue with the silver knife, and then trembled violently. After the shaking, he raised his head, looked at Shiqing, and said repeatedly: "Good thing, good thing... Everyone in the world has seen the drama Poison, only the minister thinks it is a good medicine. Your Highness, please give this thing to this humble minister!"

Shiqing had no place to vent his resentment. Hearing the imperial doctor's words, he felt even more troubled, but he couldn't get angry, so he shook his hand and said, "There are still a lot of puffer fish organs, and they are in your highness. Go and find Liu Yuchu to get them later." !"

The imperial physician was overjoyed and almost kowtowed three times to Shiqing.

On this side, after being treated, the Japanese envoy finally recovered from his epilepsy, struggled to get up, and kowtowed to the cloudy saint sitting high in the hall.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor of China clearly learned, my prince, I didn't... I didn't intend to harm His Majesty at all... This is, this is an accident..."

The Dongying envoys were begging, while the Dongying prince was yelling wronged, and the mission from Dongying knelt down in darkness at this moment.

There is only one ghost, who still kneels in front of Shiqing's used kitchen knife with fascination at this moment, and looks up to admire it—everything that happened just now seems to have no effect on him.

The sage sat high on the Zichen Hall, looking down at those who begged for mercy, and those who cried out for injustice. He managed to get over it in one breath, but he also encountered difficulties.

He saw the arrogance and confidence of the Dongying prince earlier, and the fugu was something he used to eat in Jinling in the past, so he naturally thought that nothing would go wrong-but it happened so ecstasy At this time, the highly poisonous baizi was sent to him, and he even picked it up and was about to send it to the mouth.

If it wasn't for the boy Shiqing brought, what happened today would have been terrible!

However, how to deal with this Dongying prince is also quite difficult for the sage.

He has no intention of labeling Dongying Kingdom as a "committer of assassination". Such a serious crime can only cause the two countries to forge deep hatred and force Dongying Kingdom to fall to Nanfan; but people have already bullied themselves. This Dongying prince was captured again in front of the entire diplomatic corps and civil and military officials.

How can this be done?

"Holy..."

Behind the saint, the bead curtain moved slightly, and a soft female voice came out.

"...The young man surnamed Liu should understand the ins and outs of this matter. Your Majesty might as well ask her first, how did you know that the pufferfish white seed is poisonous."

As soon as the voice fell, the bead curtain fell heavily, and there was no more sound.

The sage nodded secretly, and said, "Liu...ahem, Xiaoliu..."

He really didn't know what to call Liu Mei, so he simply used the name Shi Qing used.

"How did you find out that the puffer fish baizi presented by the prince of Dongying is highly poisonous?"

Liu Mei glanced at Prince Dongying, who was bound by five flowers and almost turned into a ball of rope, and said, "If you go back to the emperor, only one of the white pieces presented by Prince Dongying is very poisonous. Just now he tried it himself. The one he bought was non-toxic, and the father-in-law who tried it was the same one that he ate, so it was fine. Your Excellency, the envoy of Japan, was also very lucky, the one he ate was also non-toxic. "

The saint's face was a little pale, "You mean, I'm out of luck today, right?"

He observed the words and demeanor, and felt that Liu Mei was quite different from others.

Others are full of servility in front of him, and they are used to bowing their knees. Even people like Shiqing, who have been taught so loyally to the monarch since childhood, have always only obeyed orders in front of saints.

But the boy surnamed Liu in front of him, he could feel that this person was only polite to him from the beginning to the end, and he was not at all servile—maybe it was this difference that made people like Shiqing treat him as well. Let's take a look at it with admiration.

Listening to the sage's question, Liu Mei shook her head sincerely, and replied: "No, the prince of Dongying Kingdom has had bad luck today."

The author has something to say: Saint: About puffer fish poison, the author is all nonsense... This is it!
