Chapter 412.1: Consequences

With Gong Jiu personally investigating, things naturally wont be that simple anymore. The soup was left alone, but the chicken inside, as well as the various other ingredients were all extracted one by one.

Gong Jiu then had the soup water separated into three portions. All the ingredients were also separated into three. The chicken was broken down even more, the bones into bones, the meat into meat.

Gong Jiu used several different ways to examine. All the things inside all didnt have any problems. Even so, Gong Jiu didnt rashly come to a conclusion. The results of the investigation not having any problems didnt mean that there really werent any problems. Perhaps it was just him not being able to detect, thats all. In this aspect, it just reflected Gong Jius strict and cautious att.i.tude.

Of course, this kind of examination, in Jing Wans eyes, was actually still very shallow. At most, one can only know whether it was harmful or not, and based on the predicted direction, use a few kinds of special methods to examine. Placed in her past life, any component was all able to be a.n.a.lyzed clearly. However, Gong Jius methods were already much more impressive than others.

This chicken has problems. Id watched it go into the pot. In this period of time, its impossible for the chicken to be this tattered. Gong mama whod been following by Jing Wans side suddenly opened her mouth.

Upon hearing this, everyone all unanimously looked towards her.

Gong mama curtsied, When this servant came to the imperial kitchen to prepare the antique soup for w.a.n.gye and w.a.n.gfei, one had inadvertently saw this chicken going into the pot. Originally, one was thinking that this was probably prepared for one of the imperial consorts to use after the evening banquet, but turns out, her Highness Shu Consort didnt eat chicken soup that was stewed for too long. Calculating by the time, even if stewing until now, it would still be far from this.

Hearing Gong mama say this, the people of the imperial kitchen also successively nodded, Right, right, this chicken, from the looks of it, should have been raised for about two years, so it cant break down this easily.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, majority of people would all overlook this situation. However, although Gong Jiu came from the shadow guards, he has never entered the kitchen before. Even in the past when carrying out missions, it was still nothing more than roasting a bit of wild catch, and for the most part, it was just eating before fully cooked. Thats why, it was very normal for him to not know about this.

In this moment, Gong Jiu brought out Eunuch Mus learning spirit, deciding that after going back, have the matters in cooking thoroughly learned, so as to avoid overlooking similar circ.u.mstances in the future.

Already cant get anymore results from this chicken. -Is there another chicken similar to this one in the imperial kitchen? Its best if its still alive. Gong Jiu turned towards the general manager of the imperial kitchen and asked.

Yes, yes, this little one will immediately let someone bring over? With Shu Consort Qin falling to poison, the greatest suspicion precisely fell on the imperial kitchen. At this time, they naturally wished more than anyone for this matter to be investigated clearly, because only by investigating clearly, can they have the chance of surviving. No one wished to die wrongfully for no reason. Only three of the stewards were needed for the investigation, so they had temporarily freedom. The rest of the imperial kitchen had all gotten detained by the Imperial Guards.

What are you wasting your breath for, quickly go. Le Cheng Emperor coldly ordered.

That steward s.h.i.+vered, hurriedly leaving.

Inviting a few imperial guards to help out, he used the cage to have the remaining chickens brought over. There were still a dozen or so chickens.

Gong Jiu used the needle on every chicken, yet he couldnt help but slightly frown. These chickens were all normal, and appeared to also be very lively. Under normal circ.u.mstances, if living creatures were fed poison, and that poison can poison a person to death, then there was no reason for the chicken to still be perfectly fine. What about similar chickens that have already been slaughtered, is there any abnormalities?

The abnormalities being asked about now obviously was asking whether or not there were other cases of the chicken meat falling apart too quickly.

The general manager of the imperial kitchen hurriedly let someone go investigate. Although quite a bit were used, and all the dishes differed to some extent, the chicken head, chicken feet, and such parts were all still present. Aside from Shu Consort Qin, no one else had ordered a whole chicken.

And once Le Cheng Emperor found out that a similarly tattered chicken had actually been served during the evening banquet, his heart turned even colder, even suspecting whether or not hed already taken a trip to the gates of the underworld.

Before Gong Jiu could examine those chicken heads, another steward of the imperial kitchen just tremblingly discovered a problem, G-general M-manager, this chicken, t-theres, theres one too many. The things entering the imperial palace, all needed to be strictly inspected, and all things had a fixed quota. Chickens naturally were also the same.

The following results for the most part can confirm, that extra chicken just happened to be the problematic one. Because they were all pulled out from the chicken coop and directly slaughtered, and moreover, there were several people specifically in charge of butchering, in addition to some imperial chefs disdaining the young eunuchs not handling it well enough, they would even personally set to the task themselves. And the one for Shu Consort Qin was mixed in the previous batch and slaughtered together. After all, it was in the middle of winter. Slightly setting aside wasnt a problem either.

As such, unless someone in the imperial kitchen knew that this chicken was different from other chickens after getting butchered, otherwise with this many people in the imperial kitchen, big chefs and small chefs, dealing with ingredients daily, also knowing that one cant slack on the job in the slightest, being careful and cautious, in addition to a pair of sharp eyes, the differences definitely cant escape their eyes. Anything with the slightest bit of disparity, for the sake of being safe, regardless of whether or not it had problems, all would toss and not use. As such, it was highly likely that Shu Consort Qin was just unlucky.

Then, exactly who was this chicken targeted towards? Or was it that regardless of who, as long as someone collapses, they will have achieved their goal? Or it would be even better if itd just happened to be Le Cheng Emperor falling for the trap? Perhaps there was also a follow-up move? At present, it was first figuring out that chickens origins. However, this matter wasnt within Gong Jius scope of responsibilities.

When butchering, all the chickens were perfectly fine. Towards this bit, Gong Jiu still held suspicion.

Is it possible that this chicken from the start just got fed some medicine, the amount very little, far from the point of where the chicken will die after once or twice, and afterwards, acc.u.mulate little by little over a long period of time. The chicken may appear to have very healthily survived, but in reality, has already become a poisonous chicken? Based on her knowledge of drug resistance from her past life, Jing Wan thought of such a possibility. However, if its poison, it should accelerate the destruction of the body and die even quicker. Did the possibility of producing resistance exist?

Upon hearing this, Gong Jius eyes suddenly lit up, cupping his hands towards Jing Wan, w.a.n.gfei is wise, this little one had a sudden flash of insight.

With Gong Jiu suddenly doing this, Jing Wan really was somewhat caught unprepared, subconsciously yielding, unable to bear.

However, Li Hong Yuan promptly reached out to stop her, and Jing Wan wasnt able to avoid. His own wife was just thin-skinned.

Le Cheng Emperor also laughed in amazement, Old sixs wife, no need to avoid. Your manors manor doctor is right, theres nothing you cant bear.

Jing Wan couldnt follow-up Le Cheng Emperors words, just lowering her head, pretending to be embarra.s.sed.

If w.a.n.gfeis guess is correct, then this kind of chickens quant.i.ty wont be many. In a hundred, to be able to perfectly raise one or two is already not bad. And what theyre fed can only be half-finished poison. Finished poison, even if just a tiny amount like the tip of a needle, the chicken still cant possibly survive. Judging from her Highnesss situation, she was precisely poisoned today, or more accurately tonight. Just dont know whether the other half of the poison came from the food or some other object. Gong Jiu stated.

This is implying that just coming in contact with one of them wont have any problems? At least, wont be as serious as Shu Consorts situation? Jin Qinw.a.n.g, whod been serving as the perfect background board this whole time, finally opened his mouth.

Yes, just coming in contact with half, then coming in contact with the other half after two hours, all wont have any problems.

Its not easy to raise a poisonous chicken. Having meticulously spent a year or two raising, even successfully bringing into the palace, one naturally cant waste it in vain. If it was aimed towards a certain person, then in this matter, there mustve been some slip-up. If it was just for the sake of causing a disturbance, then when unsure whose mouth the poisonous chicken will enter, to want to achieve ones goal, the other half of the poison needs to be scattered broadly, so the possibility of it being in the food is far greater than in a certain object

When Li Hong Yuan said this, Le Cheng Emperors blood froze again, even seemingly feeling a bit unwell, suspecting whether or not hed also been poisoned.
