Ye Zhen knew how to cook. When she was in Prince Qin's Mansion, she had nothing to do every day. In order to cook for Mo Rongzhan, she also worked hard to learn cooking. Therefore, it was not difficult to cook a few dishes.
Huangfu Chen asked Ye Zhen to stay outside while he cleaned up the kitchen. There was not even a trace of blood left. The man was also carried away by the old maid.
"You can't stay here for too long." Huangfu Chen looked at Ye Zhen, who was cooking skillfully, and regretted that he did not check clearly when he set off. Now that Mo Rongzhan knew that she had entered the city, he might come to take her back tomorrow.
"I am the most suitable person here." Ye Zhen whispered, "These dishes may be sent to Yan Jintang later. I have to find a way to add the antidote."
Huangfu Chen looked at her faintly. "There are poisonous people everywhere. I can't protect you. Yao Yao, be obedient and go back tomorrow."
"I don't need you to protect me. I can protect myself." Ye Zhen said. At worst, she could hide in the space and no one would find her.
"You are too capricious." Huangfu Chen took a deep breath and scolded her in a low voice.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "The meal is ready. Just cook two more dishes."
Huangfu Chen sighed softly, knowing that it was useless to persuade her.
After a while, Ye Zhen finished cooking, and the old maid came back. She was surprised to see the food Ye Zhen cooked. After trying it, she finally smiled. "It's much better than the last cook. Well, then you can stay and be cooks. However, whether you can satisfy others depends on your luck. You, send it to Master Yan." Ye Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Zhen's words.
"I'll send it. The child is not sensible. It will not be good if he offends Master Yan." Huangfu Chen said.
Ye Zhen immediately said, "I'm just delivering food. How can I offend others? Dad, I'll go."
The old maid looked at the father and son and felt that if Master Yan went crazy and killed people, it was better for the little one to die than the big one. She pointed to Ye Zhen. "Just go. It's not far from the front yard. Don't go there. That's not a place you can go."
The people living in this mansion were all big shots. They only needed to deliver meals to Yan Jintang, and other people would come and fetch the meals.
Ye Zhen looked at the direction of the old maid's finger and knew which courtyard she was talking about. As for the courtyard in front, it should be where Qiu Hen or Lu Lingzhi lived.
"Okay, I'm going to deliver the food." Ye Zhen smiled and went out with the food box.
"Yaoyao!" Huangfu Chen stopped her.
Ye Zhen looked back at him and smiled. "Dad, if we make more money and go back, mom will be happier."
The old maid sneered, "Do well. The most important thing is to leave here alive. You will get the silver."
Huang Fuchen's face darkened as he watched Ye Zhen's figure disappear into the night.
Yan Jintang lived in a relatively cheap courtyard. Ye Zhen walked on the bluestone road with the food box in her hand, thinking about how she could let the whole city have the antidote.
First, she had to know where their main water source was … and first, she had to detoxify Yan Jintang.
She walked to a place without guards and put down the food box. Spiritual spring water emerged in the palm of her hand. She added spiritual spring water to all the dishes and put an antidote into the soup.
"Who are you? What are you doing? "Suddenly, someone scolded her from behind.
Ye Zhen's scalp went numb. She turned around with the food box in her hand and saw a young man coming towards her. He didn't seem to be poisoned, so he must have never taken a poisonous pill.
"I … I came with my father to deliver food. Old maid Wang left my father to be a cook. I was going to deliver food to Master Yan and accidentally got lost." Ye Zhen said timidly, shrinking her shoulders and not daring to look at the other party.
"What were you doing here just now?" The other party was obviously still suspicious and looked at Ye Zhen with sharp eyes.
Ye Zhen said, "I heard that Master Yan … has high requirements for food. I want to try it secretly. If it doesn't taste good, I can take it back."
She had already recognized who this person was. She had seen him in Prince Yi's Mansion before. His name seemed to be Luo Cheng, a man around Lu Lingzhi.
Since his people were here, Lu Lingzhi should also be in this house.
It seemed that Lu Lingzhi was very clear about the power of the poisonous pill, so he and his people did not take it.
"Open the food box and try a bite." Luo Cheng said coldly. Although he could not see anything suspicious about this young man, he must be cautious in everything.
Ye Zhen readily accepted his advice and took a bite while trembling. "Sir, the taste is not bad. Do you think Hero Yan will … kill someone? That chef died just now."
Luo Cheng's eyes flashed with a mocking sneer. Yan Jintang was poisoned too deeply and was already a murderous maniac. This little boy would not live long. "Don't talk too much. Send it to Master Yan."
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Rou quickly packed up the food box and hurriedly walked to the front yard.
Luo Cheng didn't care and turned away.
When Ye Zhen came to the gate of the courtyard, she saw two guards with unusual faces standing outside. When they saw her appear, a pair of glowing eyes looked at her coldly.
"I … I'm here to deliver food." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Bring it." One of them said blankly, took the food box from Ye Zhen's hand, turned and walked in.
Ye Zhen stood where she was and did not leave. Anyway, no one drove her away. She just wanted to know what effect Yan Jintang would have after taking the antidote.
Time passed slowly and Ye Zhen became more and more anxious. Is there no effect?
Suddenly, a beast-like roar came from the yard. Ye Zhen was startled and took a few steps back.
The guard who had been standing still immediately pointed his sword at her. "Don't move."
Not long after, the guard who had just delivered the food came out and looked at her gloomily. "Go in, the leader is looking for you."
"What do you want from me?" Ye Zhen showed an expression that was about to cry.
"Go in." The guard pushed her hard and pushed her into the yard.
There were more poison people in the yard and every corner was guarded by guards. Ye Zhen was taken into the house.
As soon as she walked into the house, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. Yan Jintang's face was ashen and there was a pool of black blood in front of him. He had finished the food. It should be … the blood he vomited.
"All of you, leave." Yan Jintang said in a low voice and dismissed the others.
Ye Zhen didn't know whether he was awake or not. Seeing him stand up, she was ready to enter the space to take refuge at any time. "You … what do you want to do?"
"Who are you?" Yan Jintang asked in a low voice. "Zhong Yue's antidote, was it you who gave it to him?"
