After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 310
Dongfeng was a little incoherent. He was afraid. At this time, he was really afraid. He was afraid of being rejected by them and used as a sluggish person.

I regret even more that I didn’t say it earlier.

He originally planned to perform well this time and strive to be the best clerk in Taoyuan Township this year, so that he could give his second brother a chance to study for the imperial examination.

Now because of his taking it for granted and struggling to support it, things have become worse.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" He can't lose his identity as a cook in Taoyuan Township, otherwise a bunch of brothers and sisters in the family will starve to death!
So, he knelt down without hesitation.

Xu Mengxiao rushed forward first, held his hands, and checked his pulse within seconds.

...It is indeed poisoned. It is not that it is acclimatized, but the toxicity is weak and easy to detect.

Lu He took away her hand from Dongfeng's body without looking mean at all.

Everyone, "..."

"Ahem, what's going on? Why do you think so?" Xu Mengxiao became serious.

There is a big difference between poisoning and acclimatization. If they don't figure it out, who knows how they will be framed later!

"I..." Dongfeng endured the discomfort and told them about his fellow villagers who got close to him on the boat, got to know him, and even tried to find out what they wanted to cook for the competition.

"Is your fellow cook also participating this time?"

"No, otherwise I wouldn't be so careless... This fellow is a crew member on the ship. I didn't expect to meet him by chance. He also helped me a lot in the past..."

"I started to feel a little uncomfortable on the boat, but I could bear it. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you..."

"Are you afraid that we will replace someone?" Xu Mengxiao exposed it unceremoniously.

Dongfeng wanted to kneel down again, and now Lin Gui also felt a little resentful, "I told you to be careful, be careful, but I didn't expect you could still make jokes with your fellow countrymen when you are so busy on the ship!"

"No, no, I'm from my hometown... I have a cousin who I can introduce to me..."

"You're confused. If you perform well in this competition, how can you not find a wife in the future?" Lin Gui couldn't help but lamented.

But he knew that even if Dongfeng kept his job as a cook in Taoyuan Township this time, it would be difficult to reuse him. He obviously had such talent!
"Okay, you feel unwell, go back and rest first." Xu Mengxiao said calmly.

Dongfeng's face turned pale, but he still expressed his guess, "I suspect that this fellow is sent by Yipinju, or another opponent on the ship. Master, Master, you must be careful!"

These words sounded a warning to Xu Mengxiao, "Go and ask the doctor to come over and take your pulse, just in case the enemy in the dark has a back-up plan."

On the other side, Yao Yuan, who sent someone to keep an eye on Yipinju, actually received news.

"I saw one of the crew members on the ship interacted with people from Yipinju, and I suspected that they did something while on the ship."

Not to mention, he really got it right. Now Xu Mengxiao was somewhat grateful to Dongfeng for the reminder.

As a result, the doctor came and took a pulse, but none of them found any problems. It was Xu Mengxiao's turn to try it herself...

Damn it, I almost got caught!
I don't know where this poison came from. It had a long incubation period. Dongfeng estimated that it was due to his poor health that he had an early onset of poison, and he noticed something was wrong.

Lin Gui and Zhang Bin might have had an attack during the competition, and it would only affect their cooking. If they lost their manners in front of the emperor, who would dare to come to their Taoyuan Township for dinner in the future?

How dare they in Taoyuan Township risk great disbelief to become bigger and stronger?
"Too vicious!"

"Master?" Lin Gui and the two were still a little confused. "I'm always a little worried. The east wind is blowing up. The doctor also said that he is acclimatized. You'd better take some medicine, just in case."

"Dongfeng's feeling may not be right." Zhang Bin didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but under the power of several people, he had to bite the bullet and drink the most disgusting soup.

Xu Mengxiao was afraid that it wouldn't work, so he added some healing agents, so he felt relieved.

That night, she went to Jia's house to check in and make herself known. When she was about to come back, she suddenly heard a piece of gossip.

One of the three cooks Xi Jiangyue was going to use to participate in the competition also had some problems.

The symptoms were very similar to Dongfeng's, with vomiting and diarrhea, which made Jia Huaian so irritable that he originally wanted to compete well, but now he had to take shortcuts.

"Interesting, this Gong Yue is probably crazy. He dares to do this in front of a group of imperial nobles." He's not afraid of losing his head!
The day before the official start of the Royal Chef Competition, Emperor Daxing and others officially arrived in Huizhou.

At that time, the whole city mobilized, and Xu Mengxiao also joined in the fun.

Just after noon, a huge Chinese chariot was slowly approaching, with two figures sitting upright inside.

It was Emperor Daxing and his beloved concubine Chen Guifei.

In front of them, two princes opened the way. The one with a serious face was the fifth prince, and the one with a gentle smile was the second prince.

Far behind the emperor's driver were the carriages and horses of other officials, such as the left prime minister Sima Jian, as well as some accompanying maids and guards.

The group of people was so large that wherever they passed, a large number of people fell to their knees.

Some people had seen this battle before and were relatively calm, but most people were frightened and did not dare to raise their heads to take another look.

Xu Mengxiao didn't want to kneel down to others, so she booked a teahouse next to the official road early just to watch the excitement.

At this time, she was standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking curiously, when the fifth prince who was not looking sideways suddenly looked towards her.

Xu Mengxiao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the article in which Xie Yan wrote bad things about him.

Among them, it was mentioned that the fifth prince had a shady background, could not rise to the level of elegance, and was not qualified for important responsibilities.

Although the words are cryptic, it can be guessed that the biological mother of the fifth prince is the wife of Emperor Daxing.

In the end, the emperor also wiped out his courtiers who came to seek justice. In order to silence everyone, he also found a fierce maid to be the mother of the fifth prince.

His mother was forced to give birth to him and died of depression. If she had not died, she would have been no good to the fifth prince, otherwise she would not have left a final letter full of hatred for him!
Of course, Xie Yan definitely didn't know these royal secrets. She heard them from Lu He.

Just this morning, this man suddenly and without warning gave her a large amount of information about these powerful relationships, and even about each person's temperament and life story. He did not use his perspective to judge whether these people were good or bad.

Instead, tell her some facts politely and let her make her own judgment, or she can choose what to do after she has the facts.

Instead of being influenced by him, change for him.

This kind of tolerance and magnanimity made Xu Mengxiao realize once again how good this man was.

I'm worried that she won't know and feel unsure, so I tell her everything, but I don't want to pass on my burden and past to her.

But Xu Mengxiao, how could he be a fool!

So when the fifth prince looked over, Xu Mengxiao was stunned for a moment, then she slightly raised her lips and smiled at him!
