Chapter 218: Murder by poison

The incense stick time passed very quickly in small talk with Zhou Jingxu and Zhou Feilan.
Just when the incense ash was half-burning, Rong Jin opened the lid of the pot and took out the things he had made from it. The cabbage was broken apart one by one, and the tray was installed, and some things were sprinkled on the cabbage. .
In full view, Rong Jin had already brought the meal he made and walked into the Gaotang Hall.
At this time, he was the only one in the hall who prepared the meal, walked directly to the Emperor Jin and bowed his hands in salute, "Please, your Majesty, taste the food!"
Of course, according to the rules, the father-in-law first chose a plate among the dishes at will, and gave Rong Jin a taste. After Rong Jin finished eating, there was no problem, and the father-in-law Wei took a small slice and presented it to the Emperor Jin to eat.
Emperor Jin first glanced at the golden cabbage leaves, with two leaves floating on them.
egg?
The Emperor Jin was very surprised, did Rong Jin do such a thing?
However, he still took some common sense with silver chopsticks, the entrance was polarized, and there was a hint of unique sweetness and faint scent. "The taste is good. I didn't expect the fourth girl of the Yun family to have a beautiful heart, and Young Master Rong is also unique. ."
The meals that these two presented today are very simple, but they taste great.
After Emperor Jin gracefully ate the whole egg, he asked Wei Gonggong to take a flower paper.
Rong Jin thanked him with a carefree expression, with a faint ridicule at the corner of his mouth, and continued to give others a try, all complimenting the deliciousness.
Because Yun Xiao's bet was Rong Jin's win, Zhou Feilan's eyes kept turning on Rong Jin, Cao Bingrong, and the prince Xi Yue. Rong Jin was the first to enter the Gaotang Palace from the stove. His every move was obliterated. These three people observe.
Zhou Feilan didn't expect that something made in a piece of cabbage would be appreciated by the Emperor Jin? I felt like a cat caught a cat and was eager to try, "What the did Young Master Rong do? So many people are full of praise?"
Yun Xiao shook her head, she didn't know, she would bet Rong Jin to win, but out of trust in Rong Jin.
She clearly saw a look of confidence in Rong Jin's eyes. Since Rong Jin could show such a look, Yun Xiao knew he was absolutely sure that he would win.
Zhou Feilan didn't believe it, she shook Yun Xiao's cuff and said, "Quickly, have you tried the meal made by Master Rong? If not, how could you bet Rong Jin to win with such certainty?"
Yun Xiao felt a headache. She and Rong Jin had known each other for so long and never knew that Rong Jin's craftsmanship would be so good.
It was only then that she remembered one thing. In her previous life, she had heard news from the public saying that Xi Yue’s new emperor’s cooking skills were excellent, and she had a good relationship with Xiao Yuqi, and she often cooked for Xiao Yuqi. , Superb cooking skills.
After she heard this, she didn't believe it. Gentlemen always cook far away, and Rong Jin is already the new emperor of West Vietnam, how could she still cook?
She was disturbed by everyone for a long time, and she started to compare her culinary skills with Rong Jin, but because she was a thousand miles away from Xiyue Kyoto, she also thought that she was a woman, and she had no chance to compete with Rong Jinyi. Longer and shorter.
It's just that it has been a long time since this news, Yun Xiao has already forgotten.
If it hadn't been for this cooking competition, I'm afraid she would never think of it, right?
A faint smile evoked at the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth. She never thought that this cooking competition gave her and Rong Jinyi a longer and shorter opportunity, "I have never tasted the meal that Rongzi and I have It’s just some business dealings. It’s just that, after getting along for so long, I have some understanding of him. If he thinks he won’t win, he will give up directly. Since he hasn’t directly admitted defeat, he must think that his cooking skills are compared with others. Long and short opportunities."
Zhou Feilan was taken aback when she heard it, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Just for this reason, she bet two thousand taels of silver on Young Master Rong?
She didn't know whether to say that Yun Xiao was not trivial, or whether Yun Xiao's eyes were torch.
But watching the number of flowers on the tray held by Rong Jin became less and less, Zhou Feilan felt that Rong Jin's eyes were very good, and now it seemed that Rong Jin was destined to be the winner.
Thinking of her two thousand taels of silver, Zhou Feilan felt painful, "Four girls, you really don't talk about loyalty."
Zhou Jingxu listened to the two of them and didn't talk, but with a pair of black jade eyes staring at Yun Xiao's every move, when he noticed the look on Yun Xiao's face, he became vigilant in his heart and said secretly, "Since I can Knowing so much as a person, it seems that it is definitely not an ordinary acquaintance."
He has to think of a solution, "The gambling is not over yet, it is too early to say anything."
Zhou Feilan nodded secretly, indeed! She shouldn't give up so easily.
Nodding lightly, Zhou Feilan's expression flashed a trace of determination, "There are still many cooks who haven't done a good job yet. It's really not appropriate to make a decision too soon."
At this moment, not only the three Yun Xiao's eyes were on Rong Jin's body, but also the cooks on the stove, whose eyes were also on Rong Jin.
When they saw that Rong Jin had prepared the meal in such a short time, they were already full of disdain.
I'm afraid I can't make meals, so I want to give in early, right?
What surprised everyone was that Rong Jin had a natural look. The meal made in such a short time attracted the liking of everyone and was praised by the Emperor Jin?
What about these carefully prepared people?
It's just that no one paid any attention to them at this time. Cao Bingrong just glanced at the hall, then lowered his head and continued his meal.
On the contrary, Lu Yuchu originally felt that the winner was in his hands, and with Yun Xiao's competition this time, the Huajian was taken away, and he was already under pressure.
Who knows that the county owner has an extra Rong Jin?
These people are simply obstructing themselves on purpose!
A sweet smell in his heart struck again, making Lu Yuchu's complexion pale again. He was vomiting blood from anger in his previous life, and his body has not been well developed. This time, he was taken the lead again. How could he not be angry?
He glanced at the incense case, there is still half a stick of incense, he still has a chance! Can't just give up so soon!
He shifted all his attention to his hands, but he was too nervous, and his wrists couldn't help but tremble slightly.
One inadvertently, the carrot flower that was being carved in his hand rolled on the ground grunting.
Yu Chu, who had always been at odds with him, just leaned in and said with a grin, "Does Lu Yu Chu feel that he has lost, so he wants to break the pot and throw away all the dishes he has carefully prepared?"
"Go!" Lu Yuchu turned around, glared at him, took a deep breath, took a radish again, and slowly carved it, but his eyes were no longer as calm as before, and he would look back at the hall from time to time. .
Every time I took a look, I noticed that someone praised Rong Jin’s cooking skills and took away a piece of paper. However, every time he looked at it, his hand trembled, and the dishes in his hand lost the usual standard. !
Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Jingyan's gaze. His gaze was like stars, dark, but surprisingly calm.
He seemed to see Zhou Jingyan nodding his head at him, and then smiled back, completely calmed down!
Quickly processed the dishes in his hand. When he was in a corner that no one could see, he reached out to his sleeve pocket, and when he took out his hand again, Lu Yuchu flicked it twice with his hand.
His expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Yuchu smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and the movements in his hands were like clouds and flowing water, all in one go, quickly processing all the dishes in his hands.
A stick of incense time passed in a flash.
Already half of the cooks walked into the Gaotang Hall with their cooked meals.
Lu Yuchu looked up at Cao Bingrong and saw that he had already prepared the meal. His expression changed slightly. He could lose to Yun Xiao, but he could not lose to a little-known cook like Cao Bingrong.
Seeing Cao Bingrong had entered the gate of the Gaotang Hall, Lu Yuchu hurriedly walked over and said with a light smile, "Cao Yuchu, what kind of meal do you make today?" They all entered the hall and covered the meal with a lid. Really mysterious.
However, it also made Lu Yuchu even more contemptuous.
Cao Bingrong nodded to Lu Yuchu, and then said, "If Lu Yuchu wants to know, just wait a moment longer."
Lu Yuchu was very annoyed, but he couldn't force her to say it. Her expression was embarrassed, her feet were unstable, and her body fell in the direction of Cao Bingrong.
Cao Bingrong frowned. If he avoided, the prepared meal in his hand would be destroyed, but if he did not avoid, he would be hit by Lu Yuchu.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Lu Yuchu held his arm with one hand, stabilized his figure, and looked at him apologetically, "I'm really sorry, are you okay?"
Cao Bingrong shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, the meal was not destroyed, "It's okay, you go first."
He finally got the chance to face the saint. As long as he can win that condition, can he ask the Emperor Jin to visit someone?
Naturally, Lu Yuchu would not stay too much. He thanked him and turned to leave. After crossing Cao Bingrong, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The corner of his eyes turned towards Cao Bingrong’s sleeves. Even if the Emperor Jin really died, this time , I won't doubt him, right?
With a cold snort, the meteor followed everyone behind.
One by one, the dishes were tested, and only the meals made by the prince of West Vietnam were recognized by the Emperor Jin, which made Lu Yuchu feel more vigilant.
Never thought that today's cooking competition is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
When he finally arrived at Lu Yuchu, he walked forward respectfully, with a natural look. After trying his own meal first, he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, please try the dishes!"
Grandpa Wei hurriedly walked to Lu Yuchu, took a piece of fish with silver chopsticks, served it in a small dish, and placed it in front of Emperor Jin.
The Emperor Jin didn't feel any suspicion, so he picked up the meal with chopsticks and got it between his lips and teeth.
Seeing the chopsticks get closer and closer, Lu Yuchu's heart was also lifted tightly, as if a hand was being ravaged.
Just eat, just eat! His task is completed!
I kept crying in my heart!
But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded behind him, "Father, wait!"
