Chen Jing's friend didn't see the shock in Chen Jing's eyes. He picked up his chopsticks, scooped out a few slices of meat from the pot, and tasted them.

Spit it out and throw it on the table.

"It's still just a little bit off!" After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Jing, he left the hot pot restaurant.

Su Jiaoniang stared at the trash on the table and the pot that had been stirred by chopsticks.

For safety, to avoid getting saliva from eating strange things.

Su Jiaoniang ordered the pot to be taken away and replaced with a new one. She also instructed that the remaining contents of this new pot should not be given to the beggar but should be buried in a pit.

The kitchen staff were somewhat puzzled by Su Jiaoniang's demands.

But the shopkeeper is the soul of the shop.

You can't go wrong by listening to her.

The kitchen staff obediently dug a hole in the yard, poured the leftover food and soup from the pot into it, and also poured in the water used to wash the pot.

Chen Jing looked at Su Jiaoniang and asked cautiously, "Is something wrong?"

I stared at the food my friend had packed for me, wanting to eat a few bites.

Before he could even put the food in his mouth, Su Jiaoniang hit his hand hard with chopsticks several times.

An innocent gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang: "Lady Su, what's wrong?"

"Follow me!" The familiar smell made Su Jiaoniang know what was inside without even trying.

poppy!

It can be used as an anesthetic.

Similarly, it is also addictive!

Carrying these items, followed by Xie Shi and Chen Jing, the three of them headed towards Tianshui Village.

As Chen Jing entered the village, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, his young master was from this village.

The young master simply didn't like being disturbed; they only knew about this village.

I don't know about the others.

As for Miss Xiaoya, they only found out she was the young master's sister when she came to them herself.

Upon seeing the village, Chen Jing suddenly became nervous.

Su Jiaoniang paid little attention to Chen Jing's thoughts and expressions; her mind was filled with nothing but poppies!

This thing is a double-edged sword.

Anesthesia can be used, and just as easily, it can make a person wish they were dead.

Ms. Xie went straight home. She was the only one busy in the kitchen. When she left, the kitchen was empty, but the masters of the house still had to eat in the evening.

Su Jiaoniang led Chen Jing to Doctor Liu's courtyard.

At this moment, Doctor Liu is teaching Su Tong the simplest and most basic pharmacology and herbal formulas.

Dr. Liu's gaze would occasionally sweep over Su Tong's legs.

He had a strong urge to cut open Su Tong's leg bone and piece the bones back together.

...

Su Jiaoniang's eyes hurt a little. Every time she pressed Dr. Liu's button, she would tremble. This man could cure people, but if he wanted to kill someone, probably no one could do it faster than him.

"Why are you here again?" Doctor Liu used his abilities to find the plant from which anesthetics could be extracted.

But there's still no news.

As a doctor who is not young anymore, Dr. Liu felt a little anxious.

He even gets angry whenever he sees Su Jiaoniang.

Su Jiaoniang sighed, "Look at what's mixed in this stuff."

Su Jiaoniang placed the leftover hot pot ingredients on the table.

Doctor Liu took out a piece and was about to put it in his mouth when Su Jiaoniang slapped his hand.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out he wasn't the only one receiving this treatment! His mood instantly brightened.

Doctor Liu stared at the residue, his gaze falling on Su Jiaoniang: "If you don't let me taste it, how will I know what's mixed in here and what its effects are?"

Shennong had to taste hundreds of herbs to achieve his success.

He's not a god.

Su Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief and suggested using white mice for the experiment.

Doctor Liu rolled his eyes at Su Jiaoniang: "White mice aren't available everywhere. They're just causing me trouble." As he said this, he turned to look at the little boy in the courtyard.

The child appeared carrying a cage of white mice.

"We should have results in about seven days. You can go back now!" Doctor Liu waved his hand.

Su Jiaoniang walked outside.

Chen Jing followed behind Su Jiaoniang, feeling as if he had come here to witness a lonely spectacle.

"Is there really something wrong with the Cai family's hotpot?" Chen Jing asked, noticing Su Jiaoniang's serious expression.

Su Jiaoniang nodded: "This is a big problem. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to restrain yourself and your family members. You can't eat those things indiscriminately."

"But there's no evidence right now, so you can't say anything reckless," Su Jiaoniang cautioned.

Chen Jing nodded.

Just as I was about to say something, a familiar voice came from behind me.

"Mother, did you go to Doctor Liu's house?"

Su Jiaoniang turned around and saw Xiao Futu, a faint smile appearing on her face: "Yes, we went to Doctor Liu's house!"

When she was with children, she tried her best to control her emotions.

To be a good mother, you should try your best not to show negative emotions in front of your children.

Chen Jing turned around and saw the pagoda.

Especially considering Futu's obedient demeanor at this moment, it was completely unlike his domineering, arrogant, and ruthless appearance when he was outside.

When Futu saw Chen Jing, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Upon hearing Su Jiaoniang's voice, she immediately displayed her usual obedient demeanor.

"Mother, what happened?" Futu asked.

Su Jiaoniang expressed her doubts about Cai's hotpot restaurant.

When Futu's expression changed drastically upon hearing that the contents might contain materials that could paralyze or control people.

It was as if she remembered something.

The obedient look on his face faded, and he earnestly recalled all the memories in his mind.

He suddenly looked towards the direction of the capital.

In the dream, his master after he grew up, the old emperor, perfectly matched the situation his mother described. The old emperor was very incompetent, sometimes his emotions would run wild, sometimes he would act like a madman, and sometimes he would make decisions that even he found insane.
