The next sentence is even more terrifying.
Chi Rong: "I've been thinking about it. If there really is a destined queen who can make the country prosperous, who would stop her?"
Lin Zhiya cooperated and asked: "So is it there or not?"
Chi Rong shook his head strangely, and said with regret and confusion: "Indeed, there is, but he is dead."
Lin Zhiya shuddered all over. She never expected to hear such a result.
The destined queen died, and the State of Zhao was plagued by disasters... Is it really like this?
Lin Zhiya felt that many questions were intertwined. If it was really as Chi Rong said, anyone who became a queen would be killed.
How could there be an option to become a queen in the sign-in system?
She deliberately opened the system and took a look. The option was still lit. As long as she confirmed it, it would be realized.
...
...
Lin Zhiya decided not to listen anymore and leave these mysteries of Chi Rong to Chi Rong himself.
Just as she was about to stand up, Chi Rong's hand tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, his pale face flushed with excitement: "You think I'm lying, right? Do you know the national teacher back then?"
More than ten years ago, stargazing, praying for rain and refining elixirs were popular in Zhao State.
This whole trend was started by this national teacher, and he really has his own way.
When Lin Zhiya was very young, she once squeezed into the crowd and watched him pray for rain. The rain drenched her head as the drums beat.
Chi Rong: "He calculated it. He calculated that there was a queen, and he also calculated that the queen was dead."
Lin Zhiya pried her hands apart, used a little strength, and said firmly: "These are all past events. I don't have the time to listen to this."
Lin Zhiya felt that everything she knew was covered with a layer of white fog, including the sign-in system, Chi Rong, and Zhao Chen.
There is a price to pay for uncovering and seeing the truth.
She walked outside without hesitation and ran into a eunuch who was transporting some things. These were things sent by Chi Xuanye.
Chi Rong shouted from behind: "I know you have a medicine that Yuan Cainu drank to avoid death. If you give it to me, I can leave the palace."
Seeing Lin Zhiya slow down, Chi Rong was delighted and turned the wheelchair to catch up: "It's true that I like the emperor, but I cherish my life more. What do you think?"
If Chi Rong didn't cherish his life, he wouldn't have run away before the engagement.
Lin Zhiya secretly complained, with a look of regret on her face, "There was only one copy, and it's gone."
Chi Rong was not discouraged. He chased after him and said, "Where did you get the medicine from? From southern Xinjiang? I will ask A Ye to find it for me and cure me. Our agreement is still valid."
Lin Zhiya walked out of the yard, and the system sounded a reminder.
"Palace maid Wan will receive a reward for checking in once: 5 sweet waters to satisfy hunger, and the accompanying palace maid will have one attribute randomly improved."
Lin Zhiya took out the sweet water and took a look. She found that it was a strong sweet soup, which was more filling than ordinary water.
She wanted to see what attributes Hemei had added, but unfortunately Hemei had a day off today, so Lin Zhiya allowed her to go out of the palace to shop, actually allowing her to go back secretly to see her parents.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Lin Zhiya returned to Xuanzhu Palace and saw Ding Fugui walking along the path with a proud look on his face.
Why is Ding Fugui here? Wasn’t he sent to the academy to cook?
Lin Zhiya thought something was wrong, this guy must be up to something, so she quickly hid Ding Fugui from the system, but when she looked again, he was gone.
Lin Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, most of the rewards in the system could be taken back.
Unexpectedly, Ding Fugui actually came with Lord Yuan. Lin Zhiya saw Lord Yuan turn around and look for Ding Fugui.
Lin Zhiya went to greet him and said with a smile, "Why did you come alone? Is there anything the academy needs?"
Sir Yuan looked back in confusion and said in disbelief, "Madam, that cook came with me. It's not that I don't know what's good for me, but the students can't get used to his dishes, so I can only send them back to you."
Lord Yuan muttered to himself, "Where is the person? He clearly followed me here, how come he is gone?"
So that's how it is. Lin Zhiya remained calm, "He knows the way, he should have gone back as soon as he entered the palace, there is his small kitchen in the palace."
Lord Yuan was skeptical, "...but he was talking behind me just now."
Lin Zhiya changed the subject: "Chef Ding's cooking skills are unique, and his personality is also a little unique. All masters are like this."
Speaking of his peculiar personality, Yuan agreed, "This cook has a very picky taste. After only two days of cooking, the students spent most of the day going to the toilet."
The two of them walked and talked, and Lin Zhiya soon discovered that the direction they were heading was the imperial study.
Lord Yuan said, "The academy is now completed. I am here to report this to His Majesty."
When they arrived at the imperial study, it was time for Zhao Chen to have his meal. Because the people were in unrest, Zhao Chen reduced the size of his meal and only served a few dishes.
He was about to pick up some food when he vaguely heard Lin Zhiya's voice.
[What? Jade Tofu? Leave this dish alone. The emperor will definitely not like it. Let me make it.]
The corner of Zhao Chen's eye twitched, he looked up but didn't see Lin Zhiya, wondering where she had gone to take advantage of him.
Just after taking two bites, he heard Lord Yuan asking for an audience, so Zhao Chen said, "Let him in."
Lord Yuan wore his official uniform today, but he had acquired a strong scholarly aura after spending many days in the academy. He bowed and said, "I will establish the academy on behalf of Concubine Wan and the Emperor to cultivate talents for the State of Zhao."
Zhao Chen had also heard that Lin Zhiya had paid to build a college, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, which made Lord Yuan shudder.
Lord Yuan: [Ahem, Your Majesty, what are you laughing at? You look so disgusting. I am already old...]
Zhao Chen quickly stopped smiling and looked at Lord Yuan unhappily. After a moment, he said, "My dear, you haven't had your meal yet. I'll add another set of bowls and chopsticks for you."
Lai Xi placed a set of bowls and chopsticks opposite Zhao Chen. Lord Yuan sat down, thinking that he had not enjoyed such treatment for decades.
[I have been doing nothing for decades, and this time I finally did the right thing. ]
Zhao Chen didn't expect that Lord Yuan, who usually had no ambition, had other ideas in his mind.
At this moment, Lord Yuan suddenly took out a tightly packed package of seasonings. Before he opened it, Zhao Chen could already smell the pungent smell in the air.
Zhao Chen frowned and put down his chopsticks. "What did you pick up? It stinks."
I saw that in the seasoning packet that Lord Yuan took out, there were a lot of bright red ingredients, which gave off a pungent and painful smell.
Yuan said curiously, "This is a cook recommended by Concubine Wan. He specially gave me a set of warming condiments. Put it in the soup and drink it to drive away the cold."
Zhao Chen was suspicious and heard Mr. Yuan's inner voice: [Oh, the emperor must be disgusted, this cook is really terrible, the presentation is too bad. ]
[Although the emperor is now in his prime, he still needs to take precautions in advance. If he doesn't take care of himself, his joints will ache when he reaches my age. ]
