Chapter 22: Bad intentions

King Jing ordered him to leave the scene. Once he was out of the surveillance range, wouldn't he be able to prescribe medicine if he wanted to?

Zhuo Yichen sat still.

Prince Jing showed displeasure.Immediately afterwards, there was a dull slapping sound on the table, and the corner of the table was cracked.

"Zhuo Yichen, do you dare to disobey this king's order? It doesn't matter if you are the emperor or the prince, if you resist the king's order, you will be killed! Step back!"

Zhuo Yichen was silent for a while, then got up suddenly, pushed the chair away and walked outside.

Prince Jing smiled contemptuously. No matter how talented he is, Zhuo Yichen is just a commoner. He doesn't have the capital to disobey orders. Threats and intimidation can always scare people away.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yichen did not leave, but stood in the middle of the lobby.

King Jing Yanyan said, "Why don't you step back soon?"

Zhuo Yichen bent his knees and knelt down straight, his knees hit the cold ground with a heavy muffled sound.

King Jing was shocked by this action, countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, he raised his sword suddenly, and shouted sharply with extreme vigilance: "You, what do you want to do!"

Zhuo Yichen's face was slightly stern, but his tone was calm as usual.

"My lord. This dish was made by Zhuo Yichen. If something goes wrong, I will definitely be responsible for it. But the ingredients themselves are extremely dangerous. I have to watch the lord all the time to enjoy it, otherwise I will lose my mind." Not fulfilling the responsibility of the head chef and violating the conscience of a swordsman. Zhuo Yichen absolutely dare not step down!"

It was just for this...

Prince Jing's complexion was slightly pale, but he was still hostile, even worse.In his eyes, Zhuo Yichen is just a powerless pawn, but he, the majestic Prince Jing, treats him like a formidable enemy. Just now he lost his composure in front of this person at that moment, and even wanted to treat this weak person Move the knife and lose your prestige.

Prince Jing slowly put down the sword in his hand, and took a look at Zhuo Yichen.

Zhuo Yichen returned with an uncompromising and calm gaze.

"You want to monitor the king?"

"I just ensure the safety of the prince."

"You are obviously persecuting the king!"

"Don't dare to go down."

"Hmph, why don't you dare!" King Jing kicked the chair in front of him over, "Before, you contradicted and disobeyed the order again and again, and this king has not punished you, and now you still dare to ask the inspector Every move of this king! How to ensure safety? You simply suspect that this king will poison the soup!"

Zhuo Yichen remained silent, just knelt there upright, motionless.

Prince Jing stared at the man kneeling in the middle of the hall with narrowed eyes, his anger hadn't burned up since the beginning, and it was the same at this moment.He has long been used to various scenes, and a little Zhuo Yichen will not make Wang Wei furious.A thought suddenly popped up in Prince Jing's mind: If this person can be kept in Prince Jing's residence, it might not be a pleasure.

Even though Prince Jing planned this, his face was still majestic and gloomy, "Okay, since you want to monitor, then I will let you watch as much as you want! You should take a good look at whether this king has poisoned you. Zhuo Yichen, give me This king kneels down! Without this king's order, don't move a single cent!"

The ground was icy cold, Zhuo Yichen gritted his teeth and knelt down.

Prince Jing didn't expect that the taciturn and seemingly easy-going Zhuo Yichen would force people into such a situation, and he was the one who threatened him!None of the servants, maids and even Shao Ning in the hall guessed that Zhuo Yichen would do this.

Shao Ningzhong felt a burst of warmth in his heart, but it was sour and astringent, and he couldn't tell what it was like.It was supposed to be him, the dignified minister of Taichang Temple, who was protecting the innocent Zhuo Yichen, but now the situation is reversed.Before, King Jing threatened and threatened, Shao Ningzhong was suppressed and had no power to fight back, Zhuo Yichen silently solved this problem for him.Now, he obviously tried his best to smash Prince Jing's conspiracy, but he still couldn't escape.King Jing deliberately made things difficult, Shao Ningzhong did not help, and it was Zhuo Yichen who knelt down.

Shao Ning's heart became more and more sour, and he could hardly bear to look at the person in the middle of the main hall.

The previous panic and fear gradually disappeared, and Shao Ningzhong finally calmed down.

He first dropped the celadon bowl directly under Prince Jing's gloomy gaze, then walked to Zhuo Yichen's side, carefully helped him up, and knelt down slowly by himself.

He didn't say a word before and after, and his expression was neither humble nor overbearing.

Prince Jing had a sarcastic smile on his face, but his heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Is the master of the Shao Mansion you, the Minister of Taichang Temple, or this ordinary cook? According to this king, Zhuo Yichen seems to be the master of Shao Ning."

Zhuo Yichen wanted to help Shao Ningzhong up, but the other party couldn't get up.

King Jing shouted: "What do you mean by kneeling here and there? I'm really afraid that the king will poison the soup?"

Shao Ningzhong replied: "What is the intention of the lord? I don't want to speculate about it. However, those who are clean are self-clearing. Please respect yourself."

One is coerced and monitored, and the other is cleared.

Prince Jing laughed back in anger.

"So, what do you mean is that you are sure that the king will poison the soup? If that's the case..." Prince Jing thought for a while, and he waved his hand, "Well, since you all doubt the king so much, then keep an eye on it. But You have to take a good look! Is this king doing something wrong?"

Neither Zhuo Yichen nor Shao Ningzhong spoke a word, and they still had an uncompromising attitude.

King Jing sneered, but he picked up the chopsticks that Zhuo Yichen had just used with interest, "This king uses the pair of bamboo chopsticks that Mr. Zhuo used, lest you suspect that this king is tampering with the utensils." King Jing went to fiddle with the pot of soup, completely stirring the puffer meat and muddying the soup, so he put a few pieces into his bowl and scooped up some soup.

"How?" Prince Jing threw down the spoon and turned the celadon bowl in his hand, "I didn't poison you, did I?"

Zhuo Yichen and Shao Ningzhong stared at each other carefully, not even missing the slight flick of Prince Jing's fingertips.

However, they did not feel any signs of poisoning.

Just as Prince Jing was about to taste it, a servant with a knife behind him stepped forward, "My lord, you must not risk your golden body, it's better to let the humble servant taste it first, to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Prince Jing handed him the bowl in his hand.

There was no flaw in the whole process, and there was no chance of poisoning at all.

The servant was about to test the danger for the master, but Zhuo Yichen yelled to stop.

"Wait." He stepped forward, his gaze immediately fixed on the bowl of soup in the servant's hand.

Crimson warning, highly toxic.

Zhuo Yichen's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at the casserole containing soup on the table.

It is still the same, deep red warning, highly poisonous.

How could the soup, which is obviously non-toxic, become extremely poisonous in the blink of an eye when no one noticed it? !

Zhuo Yichen's eyes were slightly cold, "My lord, you can be called a villain if you say such things without faith."

When King Jing was reprimanded, he stared at Zhuo Yichen slyly, his face already quite displeased, "You dare to be so presumptuous because you are sure that this king will not touch you! Earlier, I suspected that this king was poisoned, so this king will let you and Shao Ning fall in love." Look carefully, but before you try it now, you call me a villain again! Zhuo Yichen, do you really think that this king will not kill you? I have seen a lot of people like you! Bluffing, arrogant, no Be aware of current affairs!" Prince Jing ordered the servant to drink down the bowl of soup.

Zhuo Yichen snatched the bowl from the man's hand, "It's a waste of life."

Prince Jing asked gloomyly, "What do you mean by that?"

"The soup is highly poisonous." Zhuo Yichen's tone was cold, he poured the soup back into the casserole without noticing Prince Jing's sly and fierce eyes.

After Zhuo Yichen identified the poison, King Jing's face changed suddenly, and his expression immediately became harsh and fierce, and his eagle-like eyes tightly grasped Zhuo Yichen, "So you know it, it seems that you were just pretending before." stupid!"

King Jing used this insidious trick to murder the crown prince. Except for those who were close to the crown prince in the East Palace who could witness it with their own eyes, no one else knew about it.

Zhuo Yichen didn't pay any attention to this very weird sentence, but Shao Ningzhong could vaguely hear some ominous meaning.Prince Jing seemed to have found out something.Has his identity been exposed? !

Danger!Alarm bells rang out in Shao Ning's heart.

Zhuo Yichen asked back, "All I know is that it was fine just now, why did it become poisonous once it was in your hands? King Jing, how dare you say that you didn't poison yourself?!"

"No! I don't need to lie to you. There is poison here, but it just didn't show up before. Don't you already know the mystery of it." His expression became more subtle and treacherous, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was unpredictable.King Jing suddenly said another inexplicable sentence.

"My king asks you, where is the prince now?"

Zhuo Yichen gave him a cold look, it was unreasonable!

King Jing said again: "This king advises you not to follow the prince. He is too young and arrogant, and his foundation is not stable. If you follow him, you will be wronged. Or, is the emperor behind you? Oh, don't use him as a backer." Because..." Prince Jing's eyes suddenly hardened, "His time is running out..."

Shao Ningzhong's heart ached from the rampant treasonous remarks, but King Jing didn't shy away from it at all, and his words were even more wanton and explicit.

"Zhuo Yichen, I appreciate that you are a talent. How about coming to my Prince Jing's mansion? This king will definitely treat you tens of millions of times better than the prince. At least, I will not be willing to let you out to serve others and do this kind of rough work. This king will definitely How about coaxing you well, making offerings to you, and not letting you suffer any grievances?"

What Prince Jing said was actually a vain attempt to win him over, and anyone who can be won over like this is all slavish!Zhuo Yichen felt a burst of insult and disgust, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Don't forget, who was the one who made me kneel just now?"

Prince Jing was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect this person to be so sarcastic and even question him.

"You talk to this king in such an arrogant tone over and over again, hum! This king just doesn't want to kill you. If you really want to kill you, you have already died several times!"

Zhuo Yichen said coldly, "I would rather die."

"--you!"

It would be a waste of words to continue talking, Zhuo Yichen didn't want to waste any more time with this kind of person, he took the bowl of puffer fish soup which was already highly poisonous, and turned to leave.He must figure out what exactly Prince Jing did in the blink of an eye!

When Zhuo Yichen came to the back kitchen, everyone turned their eyes to him, and the eyes were even expectant, hoping that Zhuo Yichen would succeed, crush Prince Jing's conspiracy, and keep the safety of Shao's family safe.

Zhuo Yichen was speechless and could only bow his head guiltily.

Everyone was uneasy, and someone asked softly: "Boss, how is it? Nothing happened, right?"

Zhuo Yichen shook his head.

The worried cooks breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuo Yichen picked out all the highly poisonous fish in the soup and threw them into the burlap bag he used to hold the vegetable roots.

Everyone thought that he was going to throw away the puffer meat directly, and they were anxious all of a sudden, "Hey, hey, boss, don't rush to throw it away, let the brothers try something new, this is a rare delicacy in the world... ..."

Zhuo Yichen said two words briefly, "Toxic."

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the noisy atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace.

Yang Qi rolled his eyes, and immediately stepped forward and asked: "Chef, do you know where the poison is?"

Zhuo Yichen knew the worries and doubts of others, but he didn't explain it, and he didn't know how to explain it.He himself hadn't figured out how Prince Jing did it.Zhuo Yichen just silently tightened the bag again and again, and then left the back kitchen.

Stepping over the high threshold with his front foot, he was escorted away by Shao Ning's stroke.Zhuo Yichen asked questions, but Shao Ningzhong didn't answer, he just walked all the way anxiously, and took a side road that Zhuo Yichen was not familiar with, it was like fleeing from a disaster!

Shao Ningzhong sent people to the most hidden side door of the Shao Mansion before stopping. Zhuo Yichen looked up and saw that a carriage had already been prepared there.

"Master Zhuo, let's go!"
