There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1084 Yang Zhilan's Discovery
Yang Zhilan returned to her previous position.

That is, the tops of the heads of those two people.

Uncover the tiles and look down.

So that's it... She realized that it turned out that the cooking noise was too loud, covering up the sound of breaking tiles. It seemed that she had to find another way.

Just at this moment, the noise from the bellows stopped, the sound of stir-frying with the spatula also disappeared, and a voice came from below: "Finally the frying is done..."

Yang Zhilan sensed an opportunity and quickly rushed to the eaves. She repeated her old trick and smashed down a tile again.

Snapped!
The sound of breaking tiles was so clear and suspicious in such a quiet night.

Sure enough, after a while, the closed door was pushed open, and the two people walked out cautiously, looking around as if they had almost seen a ghost.

Yang Zhilan saw the right opportunity, jumped off the roof, and landed on the ground silently. The two people were searching around the courtyard, unaware of Yang Zhilan's actions.

The door was not closed, and Yang Zhilan stepped in. From a distance, she saw several plates placed on a stove. The plates contained freshly fried dishes, which were still steaming.

She flew closer, took out a special silver needle, and quickly pierced a plate of food. After a while, she took it out and saw that, as expected, it turned pitch black!
"The food is poisonous!"

Yang Zhilan's expression remained unchanged.

The rest of the dishes were tested and all turned out to be poisonous.

"It's so late, who eats these meals?"

Yang Zhilan guessed in her mind, holding another silver needle between her index finger and thumb, ready to test the ingredients, seasonings and water sources in the kitchen.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the house. Although it was very subtle, it could not escape Yang Zhilan's ears.

Those two are back!

She immediately shrunk, hid under the stove, and slowly backed away, her entire body hidden in the darkness.

"Damn it, you heard the noise just now, but why didn't you find anything?" The two people had already entered the house, and one of them was complaining.

"You said hell, what else do you want to find... Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and deliver the midnight snack to His Majesty, and go back to rest after delivery."

"But I always feel like there's something..."

"Shut up! Amitabha, Jade Emperor..."

After a while of chattering, the kitchen was completely quiet.

The two men had already gone out with their food boxes and walked away.

Yang Zhilan quietly rose from the shadow of the stove, muttering in her heart: "Your Majesty? Are these poisonous late-night snacks given to Emperor Liao?"

She had a keen premonition that there might be something fishy about this matter, so she immediately set off and followed the two people to see if Emperor Liao would eat the poisonous late-night snack!

About a quarter of an hour later.

Miyagi, Imperial Study Room.

Bright lights.

Nalanjie is wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a dragon chair, and is meticulously reviewing the memorials. There are piles of memorials on the dragon table.

On the other side of the dragon table, a tray was placed there with several plates of dishes and a bowl of rice. The food was no longer hot and had obviously been left aside for a long time.

On the left and right sides of the Nalan Festival dragon chair, there is a young eunuch standing on each side.

But neither Nalanjie nor the little eunuch noticed that there was a person hiding on the beam of the imperial study room, watching their every move without blinking an eye.

This person is none other than Yang Zhilan.

There were no super masters in the Liao Palace, so Yang Zhilan encountered no obstacles when she sneaked in.

"Your Majesty, the late night snack is almost cold, and the memorial will never be finished. It's better to rest your stomach first." Suddenly, a young eunuch reminded him.

It's about to start... Yang Zhilan was shocked. She had been monitoring here for a long time, but Emperor Liao didn't eat it at all. Does this mean that Emperor Liao knew that the food was poisonous?
Therefore, the little eunuch urged well.

Let’s see how Emperor Liao responded.

"No hurry, wait until I finish processing the memorial in my hand." Nalan Xiuguang agreed casually without leaving the memorial in his hand, giving people the feeling of "I'm very busy, don't rush me."

Sure enough, he knew that the food was poisonous... Yang Zhilan secretly made a guess.

But soon, doubts arose in her mind. If Emperor Liao knew that the food was poisonous, why would he order a midnight snack?Are you doing it for those two little eunuchs?

Snapped!
Suddenly there was a sound from below.

Yang Zhilan quickly calmed down and looked down. It turned out that Emperor Liao had already finished processing the memorial and threw it on the table.

Immediately afterwards, Nalanjie turned slightly sideways, pulled the tray on the side of the dragon case, placed it in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating...

This... When Yang Zhilan first saw this scene, although she was expressionless on the surface, she was slightly shocked in her heart.

Emperor Liao actually ate it!

Emperor Liao actually ate poisonous late-night snacks!
"These meals may have been swapped, and there is no poison in them at all!" Yang Zhilan secretly made a guess in her mind, and prepared to test the leftovers later.

After a while, Emperor Liao finished eating, pushed away the tray, picked up a memorial and continued to review it.

The little eunuch hurriedly sent the tray outside the study room and handed it to the two royal kitchen clerks.

The two waiters took the trays and left, heading straight to the royal kitchen. Because it was already dark, they planned to go back to rest after putting away the trays.

Yang Zhilan followed quietly.

By the time the two men returned to the kitchen, she had successfully sneaked to the roof, uncovered the tiles, and observed secretly.

"Let's wash all these dishes." A voice came from below.

After hearing this, Yang Zhilan was ready to repeat her old trick and make a little noise... The leftovers could not be cleared away because she was ready to test it again.

"Put it somewhere first. It won't be too late to deal with it tomorrow morning. It's already dark now, so we'd better go back and rest early." Another person stopped.

"Alright."

On the roof, Yang Zhilan immediately gave up her plan to make any noise.

Soon, the two guys walked away quickly.

Yang Zhilan was the only one left in the huge imperial dining room.

She jumped off the eaves and pushed the door open. The dozen or so braziers inside were not extinguished. It seemed that the two guys left in a hurry and forgot to turn off the lights.

Yang Zhilan quickly took out a special silver needle and walked to the sink where the dishes were washed, where the tray and the leftovers were placed.

The silver needle was inserted and taken out after a while. The tip of the needle was black and shiny!
Unexpectedly, she was not transferred... Yang Zhilan put away the silver needle and squatted there for a while, lost in thought. Emperor Liao knew that the food was poisonous, but he still ate it?

This is not reasonable!

unless……

Yang Zhilan didn't think much, and took out several more silver needles, testing the poison in the ingredients, seasonings and drinking water in sequence.

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the ingredients and seasonings.

Water is poisonous!
Yang Zhilan guessed that the water used in the imperial dining room should come from more than ten wells throughout the imperial city, because she found that there were more than ten waterwheels here, and each waterwheel had a number.

For example, "Size A Well", "Size B Well" and so on.

Among these water tankers, there were still three tanks with unused water. Yang Zhilan tested them one by one and found that all of them were poisonous.

These three waterwheels correspond to the three wells "Bing", "Ding" and "Gui" respectively.
