Chapter 517 Food Tasting Conference

Lin Yuesha felt a chill run down her spine, finding this absurd old story unbelievable. As Luo Wang had said, after Consort Fang ate Lady Qi's son, she not only recovered but also had better skin and was more favored.

This was a palace secret, but it wasn't entirely unnoticed.

Therefore, Yu Zicheng came up with the idea of ​​using an unborn fetus as a medicinal ingredient to treat his lover, a male prostitute.

"Your Highness, was Lord Qi's injustice redressed later?"

Lin Yuesha felt a deep sadness and helplessness, and this empathy made her tremble and choke up involuntarily.

"They were exonerated last year."

The emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne and announced it to the world. But what could be done? The Qi family had long since turned into dust. They had all been thrown into a mass grave back then, and their bodies could not be found.

There's no need to bring up the past. Prince Luo changed the subject, saying, "Your close friend, Physician Yan, cannot leave the prison of the Five Cities Garrison for the time being. I'm informing you of this."

"Why?"

The remaining missing women were found at Young Master Yu's residence, and Young Master Yu's lovers also confessed, which proved that Doctor Yan was innocent. Moreover, the prison of the Five Cities Garrison was too bloody and it was not advisable to stay there for long.

"She asked for it herself."

The King of Luo was helpless. All the corpses were taken to the prison of the Five Cities Military Command. Doctor Yan insisted on giving the dead some dignity, so she asked for silk thread to sew them up one by one.

Of course, this is only one reason. Dr. Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the structure of a woman's body and to study how a person can remain alive while undergoing cesarean section to remove a fetus.

"I see."

Lin Yuesha stood up dejectedly and asked hesitantly, "Has Young Master Yu been caught?"

I wonder if this matter has anything to do with Lord Yu. If Lord Yu is involved, will he still be able to treat my father?

Lin Yuesha knew that her father was being selfish in this situation, but apart from Master Yu, no one else could do anything about her father's illness.

"not yet."

Yu Zicheng had already fled after hearing the news. The officials of the Jingzhao Prefecture, together with the officers of the Five Cities Garrison, searched everywhere for Yu Zicheng.

The pregnant woman was brutally murdered by having her abdomen cut open, and her unborn fetus was used to make soup. This is even more shocking than the heart-ripping case in Beijing a few years ago. In order to appease the public, Yu Zicheng will definitely be executed.

"He's going to die. How can he repay his debts if he doesn't die?"

This was the worst news Lin Yuesha had heard since arriving in the capital, and she was likely right outside the door when Yu Zicheng committed the murder.

Last night, she and the man with the mole waited outside the door for a while and saw Yu Zicheng leave. He never came back, and that's when the pregnant women were killed.

"I didn't want to tell you; it would be too cruel for a little girl like you."

The Prince of Luo personally poured Lin Yuesha a glass of water. This matter had nothing to do with her; she was just a witness who had been dragged into it, and he hoped that she wouldn't be left with any psychological trauma.

Lin Yuesha remained silent and did not speak.

“Cousin, the case has been solved, and those pregnant women have been exonerated. This may be the best outcome.”

Xu Da is very emotional. There is no shortage of evil people in this world. In every dark corner, there are many twisted people like Yu Zicheng.

The difference is that some people only think about it, while others actually take action to do evil.

Those women who died unjustly would probably have continued to suffer injustice and lose their reputation if it weren't for Lin Yuesha providing clues.

"They were kidnapped by Yu Zicheng, does that have to ruin their reputation too?"

Lin Yuesha was furious. As a victim, these were not her own actions, and she had no control over them.

"Yes, some good families have lost their wives and searched everywhere for them. Some couples who often quarrel are falsely accused of eloping with someone else. Some men even come to the government office to file complaints, suspecting that the child in a pregnant woman's belly is not their own."

Only when the case is solved and the truth comes to light can the names of those women who died unjustly be cleared.

Luo Wang and Xu Da comforted her, and Lin Yuesha was very grateful. She calmed herself down and remembered another important matter.

"Lin girl, I have a good job for you, will you take it?"

Before Lin Yuesha could speak, Luo Wang took the initiative to ease the tension.

Because of her cousin's tragic death, her mother was constantly distressed, unable to eat or sleep. So she decided to hold a flower-viewing and boat-riding party at the Prince's Mansion's villa, inviting a group of young ladies and gentlemen from the capital's high-ranking families to enjoy the flowers and boats, hoping to distract her mother.

His mother wanted him to get married soon, so he decided to close his eyes and get married, and listen to his mother's arrangements.

"You mean, you want me to be the head chef and host a food tasting event?"

Lin Yuesha has a lot of skills to put to use; what she can and is capable of doing is not just cakes and cold dishes.

"Yes, are you willing?"

Luo Wang's move was to provide Lin Yuesha with a platform, but without any compensation, only providing ingredients, while Lin Yuesha was responsible for the hard labor.

"willing."

This is the best opportunity. She's willing to accept it even without payment. At the food tasting event, she can introduce herself and now that she has a stable place to stay, she can stay and take on private custom orders in the future.

The price must be high, because only by being expensive can they stand out from the crowd. These high-class families love to compare themselves to others, and the more expensive the better.

"Has a date been set?"

Therefore, Lin Yuesha had to make careful preparations, first determining the ingredients, selecting dishes and types of food, and considering the hot weather, she couldn't make anything too greasy.

"Three days later, at the Prince's villa in the south of the city."

That day happened to be the Ghost Festival, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. The Prince of Luo planned to lead everyone in a sacrificial ceremony to pray for blessings. At night, he would release water lanterns by the river in his villa to avoid them from clashing with the moat of the capital and the people.

Time was tight, so he wasn't sure if Lin Yuesha was fully prepared.

"Yes, no problem."

Lin Yuesha could prepare the dishes in a day, and the rest of the ingredients would be provided by Prince Luo. She would go to the Prince's villa a day in advance to prepare the miscellaneous tasks.

One person's strength is limited, so she needs a few assistants, at least those with solid basic skills such as knife skills.

"There are more than a dozen cooks in the Prince's villa, at your beck and call. Once you have selected the ingredients, we will send someone to the Prince's mansion to deliver the message."

Luo Wang rubbed his aching temples and decided on the matter.

He thought for a moment and decided to remind Lin Yuesha first, "This flower viewing party is not just about admiring flowers, you understand?"

"I understand."

Lin Yuesha had just heard Xu Da say that the Prince's mansion was very large, with pavilions and towers, and there was a river inside where boats could be taken. So, the young masters and ladies could not only enjoy the flowers, but also take a boat ride.

King Luo: ...

Was this little girl doing it on purpose?

"Most of those invited this time are young men and women of marriageable age."

The Prince of Luo was practically making it clear that he was looking for a physiognomist.

Lin Yuesha hadn't overlooked this point, but wasn't it inappropriate to choose the 15th day of the seventh lunar month for the matchmaking event?
