Chapter 68: Emptying the Imperial Kitchen
What Ye Chutang gave Kong Ru was not the antidote for Duanchangsan.
It is a poison that fights poison with poison.
Poison can temporarily suppress the toxicity of Duanchangsan, but it will not alleviate the symptoms of poisoning.
The drug takes effect quickly and the damage is doubled!
It felt like there was a stick stirring in Kong Ru's stomach and her head was being hit by a hammer.
She rolled off the bed to the ground in so much pain, feeling worse than death.
Ye Chutang ignored him and returned to Ningchuyuan.
Dan'er, who was waiting in the yard, stepped forward immediately.
"My lady, you are back. I will help you take a bath."
"I can do it myself, you go and rest."
Shan Er noticed Ye Chutang's fatigue and said quickly, "My body has recovered, so I can still do this rough work."
"Okay, come on."
Soon the tub was filled with water and sprinkled with flower petals.
Ye Chutang took off the hair accessories on her head and said, "Shan'er, go back and have a rest. I will do the rest myself."
"I'll take my leave."
Before resting, she brought in a bucket of cold water so that Ye Chutang could rinse the bathtub later.
Ye Chutang waited for her to leave, took off his clothes, and soaked in the bathtub.
As the warm water enveloped her whole body, she sighed comfortably.
"Taking a bath is really refreshing."
Jinzhi wanted to help Ye Chutang wash, but she refused.
"Aunt Jin, you should go to bed early. I can do it myself."
The dry hair towel in the space is much better than the cotton cloth in ancient times.
Jinzhi stood behind the screen and did not leave.
"Young lady, what happened in Liuliyuan? You don't look happy."
When Ye Chutang heard this, he leaned over the bathtub and looked at the blurry Jinzhi behind the screen.
Hesitant to tell the truth.
"Aunt Jin."
"I am here. If you want to say anything, just say it directly. I have seen everything in my life."
After hearing this, Ye Chutang decided to tell Jinzhi the truth.
"I'll talk to you after I finish my shower."
"Okay, I'll wait."
After taking a bath, Ye Chutang came out of the bathroom and saw Jinzhi making clothes.
"Auntie Jin, the light is not good at night and it will hurt your eyes."
"Don't worry, young lady. My eyes are fine."
She wanted to make a dress for the little lady, but she had to pretend to be crazy during the day, so she could only work slowly at night.
Ye Chutang stepped forward and took the cloth from Jinzhi's hand.
"Aunt Jin, this fabric is not very good. When you feel better, I will buy you some good fabric to make it."
Jinzhi knew that the young lady said this because she didn't want her to work too hard.
She put away her needlework and asked, "Young lady, what do you want to tell this servant?"
Ye Chutang did not beat around the bush.
"Aunt Jin, my brother was not stillborn, he was smothered to death by Kong Ru, and my mother was not dying, she was poisoned by Kong Ru."
As soon as Jinzhi finished listening, tears welled up in her eyes.
She covered her mouth with one hand and beat her chest with the other, crying heart-wrenchingly.
“Wuwuwu…”
It's all her fault. If she hadn't left for that short while, the young master wouldn't have died!
If she had been more careful, the young lady would not have been poisoned and died early!
Her heart seemed to be pulled by many hands, and the pain made her whole body spasm and she wished she could die.
Ye Chutang hugged Jinzhi, who was about to faint from crying, and gently stroked her back.
"Aunt Jin, don't blame yourself. Kong Ru wanted to hurt people, and you couldn't stop her. Let's avenge our brother and mother together!"
"Young lady, I am useless. I didn't know the truth for so many years. I thought... I thought..."
"It's not your fault. Kong Ru's schemes are too deep. My mother is too kind, so she is naturally no match for her. But I am a bad guy, a wicked person, and she can't beat me!"
Jinzhi gently pushed Ye Chutang away and shook her head.
"No, Miss is the best person in the world, otherwise you wouldn't have saved the young master."
If it were her, she would definitely vent her anger on the innocent young master.
Ye Chutang looked at Jinzhi, whose eyes were swollen from crying and whose lips were bitten.
"Aunt Jin, cheer up, the hunting time has come, I will make Kong Ru lose everything, be deserted by everyone, and die without a complete body!"
Except Ye Anjun, she will not let anyone from the Ye family go!
After hearing this, Jinzhi changed from being depressed and became full of fighting spirit.
"What does the young lady want from me?"
"You need to take care of yourself first, otherwise you can't help me. Go to sleep."
"I understand."
After Jinzhi went to sleep in the outer room, Ye Chutang dried his hair, lay on the bed, and entered the space.
She glanced at the merit points.
Four people were killed today and two were injured, for a total increase of thirty-four points.
"They all deserve to die!"
She went to the rest room and looked at the ice leech and cicada on the dressing table.
"It's time to raise him."
After saying that, she took the two things and left the space.
After lighting a calming incense stick, Ye Chutang planned to escape from the yard underground.
She suddenly remembered that she might be being targeted by Qi Yanzhou's men, so she pried up the floor and walked straight out of the room.
First stop, the palace’s ice cellar.
Cicadas like cold weather, so it is best to keep them in an ice cellar.
Ye Chutang originally planned to go to the vegetable market tomorrow morning to stock up on some vegetables.
But since she came to the palace, she couldn't let go of the imperial kitchen.
It was already past midnight, but the lights in the imperial kitchen were still on and the cooks were busy as always.
Some were preparing food for tomorrow morning, some were stewing tonic for the nobles, and some were making midnight snacks for the palace guards on duty.
They gathered in groups of three or four to chat about gossip.
"The Emperor will send a royal chef to Princess An's birthday. It would be great if I could be chosen."
"Who wouldn't want to be chosen? There's at least a twenty-tael reward!"
"I heard that Prince An held a grand birthday banquet for the princess in order to help Princess Anping choose a husband."
"Isn't the Emperor also urging Prince Chen to choose a princess? They are a perfect match!"
"Bullshit, the princess is not worthy of Prince Chen at all..."
After listening to a few words, Ye Chutang went to the warehouse of the imperial kitchen.
The warehouse is very large and is divided into several areas.
Grain and oil area, dry goods area, fruit and vegetable area, aquatic products area, snack area, poultry area, raw meat area, cooked food area, and ingredient area.
The food in each area is also subdivided and neatly arranged.
Except for the fruit and vegetable section and the raw meat section, where fresh produce is delivered every day, the shelves are almost empty.
Everything else in the area was almost full.
Ye Chutang's eyebrows curved, "A great harvest tonight!"
After saying that, she put all the things in the warehouse into the space intact.
Although the seafood and fish in the aquatic area, as well as the living things in the poultry area will die after entering the space.
But when you take it out and use it, it is still fresh.
Ye Chutang looked at the empty imperial kitchen with satisfaction and prepared to escape underground.
Suddenly, the complaining voice of a pharmacist was heard at the door of the warehouse.
"There is no such thing as a way to achieve immortality in this world. Master Zhang is clearly deceiving the emperor. I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have heard that bird's nest is needed for alchemy!"
"Doctor Kong, please be careful with your words. If this gets spread..."
Before the royal chef could finish his words, he opened the door of the warehouse.
He looked at the empty warehouse and shouted in panic: "Help, the warehouse has been robbed!"
