Chapter 34: The Conspiracy Behind Juxian Building

"Haha! Don't worry Zhiyao. I know the seriousness of it. I will never publicize it. You can rest assured."

After hearing the old man's answer, Sheng Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "You still don't know the grandpa's surname?"

"My surname is Li, with the single character Yuan. Zhiyao is a few years younger than my granddaughter. You can just call me Grandpa Yuan."

"Grandpa Yuan, you are the imperial chef, why did you go to the Juxian Building?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.

"It's a long story. Let's go to the house and talk."

The old man walked to the room, and Sheng Zhiyao followed him. Along the way, the old man also told Sheng Zhiyao what had happened. It turned out that Grandpa Yuan was the head chef of the imperial dining room, but because he stayed in the imperial dining room for a long time, he was good at cooking.

But he always felt that there was something shortcoming. He began to want to see the outside world, so he asked the emperor to resign. The emperor agreed although he was reluctant.

Three years of wandering around have passed. Grandpa Yuan is now in his fifties, and his health is no longer as good as before. Walking outside is already a bit difficult, so he returned to the capital.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he heard that Juxianlou had changed its boss and dishes. It was said that a royal chef was in charge. This surprised him very much, so he also wanted to try it. As soon as he ate one dish, he discovered that the dish was different.

The taste was wrong, because the dish was originally created by him, so he asked a few people to inquire about it. However, when the waiter found out, he beat him up and slandered him for eating the Overlord meal, and also robbed him of all the silver he had.

"As far as I know, His Majesty the Emperor did not accept the appointment of the Royal Chef after I left, and the person who is the Royal Chef cannot go to work in other restaurants. Isn't this strange? I have tasted the dishes made by the chefs of Juxian Restaurant and I am sure of this.

The chef doesn’t know how to cook at all, and seems to just follow the recipe step by step, but they don’t have some of the ingredients, so the taste is lacking.”

"Are you saying that Juxianlou stole the recipes from the imperial kitchen, and then used the name of the imperial chef to make money in Juxianlou?" Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help but frown after hearing the old man's words. If that's the case, the people of Juxianlou

It's really shameless.

"That's right." Grandpa Yuan nodded affirmatively.

Sheng Zhiyao was extremely angry.

"It's really too much of a lie. Don't they know that the royal family's face is very important? They dare to secretly learn from the royal chef's techniques. It's simply audacious. I'm going to seek justice now."

"Zhiyao, please calm down first and listen to what I have to say." Seeing this, Grandpa Yuan quickly stopped Sheng Zhiyao.

Sheng Zhiyao stopped and looked at Grandpa Yuan, waiting for him to continue.

"How do the people at Juxianlou know about my recipes? They must have some purpose of amassing money like this. If it is for money, then these silver coins are enough, but there are also many Wang Qin and dignitaries who patronize there, so they must not only be for money, but also for money.

It should also be to collect intelligence about the capital."

"You mean there are other forces behind the Juxian Building that are helping them?"

After hearing Grandpa Yuan's explanation, Sheng Zhiyao gradually calmed down.

"good."

Grandpa Yuan nodded, and he continued: "The main reason why they did this is to get some news in the court, so that they can get more benefits from our court. After all, the news in the palace is

The most important thing is that these news are related to the fate of the country."

After listening to Grandpa Yuan's words, Sheng Zhiyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "That means the boss behind Juxianlou must be a high-ranking official or someone from the royal family, or under the instruction of these people, otherwise they would not be able to

Feel confident."

After listening to Sheng Zhiyao's analysis, Grandpa Yuan glanced at her approvingly, and said with a smile: "As expected of the princess, she is really smart."

"Grandpa Yuan, since Juxianlou is so powerful, why don't we join forces and strangle Juxianlou in the cradle? Wouldn't this save us a lot of trouble?" Sheng Zhiyao felt happy when she heard Grandpa Yuan's praise and immediately suggested it.

road.

Grandpa Yuan's eyes flashed. He thought for a while and said: "This is also a way, but there is still some time now, so we can't rush it yet. You don't need to get involved for the time being. I'll find someone to investigate first."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, expressing understanding.

After the two chatted for a while, Grandpa Yuan got up and left. Sheng Zhiyao stood at the door and watched Grandpa Yuan go away, thinking to herself: Grandpa Yuan is right, now is not the time, otherwise we will easily fall into a catastrophic situation.

situation.

Sheng Zhiyao walked back to the Purple Phoenix Palace with the prepared medicinal meal and heard the emperor reprimanding people in the palace.

Doctor Wang fell to his knees, lowered his head, and did not dare to breathe.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."

"Humph, you are guilty? Are you still guilty? Are you worthy of being the head of the Taiyuan Hospital?" the emperor roared angrily.

The emperor's roar made Imperial Physician Wang's ears buzz.

He knew that the emperor was angry, so he didn't dare to raise his head or say a word.

"Tell me, how is that young imperial doctor doing now?"

"Report to your Majesty, the young imperial physician..."

"What's wrong with him? Tell me!"

"Back to the emperor, it has been four days since the young imperial doctor took my tonic medicine after taking the princess's antidote, but... it has no effect at all, and now he can only stay in bed."

"Trash, a bunch of losers." The emperor cursed angrily after hearing this. The emperor was furious. He pointed his finger at Dr. Wang who was kneeling on the ground and continued to yell: "Get out of here, get out of here."

After hearing the emperor's words, Dr. Wang crawled away from the Purple Phoenix Palace. At the door, he saw Sheng Zhiyao holding the medicinal meal. He stared at her with his eyes, wishing to eat her alive, but he didn't want to.

Dare, after all, the emperor is still here. If he really did anything, he might be guilty of killing the nine tribes, so he had to glare at Sheng Zhiyao fiercely, turned around and walked away dejectedly.

After Dr. Wang left, the emperor slammed the table, his fists were clenched, and his face was livid. Fortunately, he didn't ask Dr. Wang to give the queen the soup, otherwise the queen would probably be dead now! Thinking of this, his body

He couldn't help but shudder. He was a little lucky, but his face became even more gloomy.

He picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp, becoming more determined in Zhiyao's previous proposal.

Sheng Zhiyao walked into the palace without saying a word, but silently put down the meals and then left, and went to the queen's bedroom to have dinner with the queen.

Dr. Wang walked back to the Imperial Hospital. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a group of eunuchs gathered around and whispering. A young eunuch suddenly ran up to him and said something to him. Dr. Wang's face was ashen.

Looking at these guys with their heads lowered, looking like they were guilty of committing crimes, Doctor Wang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly walked into the lobby and came to the center of the crowd, with a look of anger on his face.

"What are you doing?" Doctor Wang asked angrily.

Hearing the words of Imperial Physician Wang, everyone trembled with fright, and they all turned their attention to an imperial physician.

This imperial physician was the apprentice of Imperial Physician Wang. When he saw Imperial Physician Wang's appearance, his heart suddenly thumped, and he knew something was wrong.

"Prince Wang, you...what's wrong with you? Who messed with you?" the imperial doctor asked cautiously.

After hearing the words of the imperial physician, Imperial Physician Wang suddenly understood in his heart, and he decided to risk his life.

"Hmph! You losers, how dare you talk behind my back? I'm still the head of the Imperial Hospital, and you dare to talk about me. It's really annoying." Doctor Wang glared at these doctors with a ferocious expression.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Doctor Wang's expression. They all fell to their knees with fear and panic on their faces.

"Isn't she just a yellow-haired girl, how dare she be so arrogant and domineering? Huh! You actually want to replace me, you really don't know the heights of the world." Doctor Wang said viciously.
