Chapter 165 Was Father Emperor killed by overeating?
After giving his orders, the emperor turned to look at Shan Tianxie, whose face was still extremely ferocious.
"Young Master Shan, take your time and tell me slowly. What did you ask Eunuch Cao to give you?"
Cao Zhengchun realized at this point that he needed to assess the situation first.
Then, with a light tap of his toes, he moved like a ghost, his agility no less than Lin Zhennan's.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Shan Tianxie, then grabbed Shan Tianxie's arm and channeled his Heavenly Gang True Qi, which he had cultivated for many years!
It should be noted that his Heavenly Gang Child Skill is known as the most yang and most powerful, and he also has the attribute of being immune to all poisons, so his true energy can also be used to save people!
However, as soon as the true energy entered Shan Tianxie's body, Cao Zhengchun frowned and realized something was wrong!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Young Master Shan's body!
These meridians and this true energy far surpass the realm of the late stage of the Innate Realm.
Just as Cao Zhengchun was thinking this, Shan Tianxie faintly emitted a suction force from his body.
"not good!"
Cao Zhengchun was shocked. The young master of this Paradise Valley actually practiced a martial art that absorbed people's true energy. Could it be the legendary Spirit Fox Moon Worship Technique?
Legend has it that this set of skills is a closely guarded secret of the Bliss Valley, and any defensive mental technique in the world can be absorbed and digested into the Spirit Fox Moon Worship Skill!
Thinking of this, Cao Zhengchun quickly withdrew his internal energy and then looked at Shan Tianxie with surprise and asked.
"Young Master Shan, I am certain that your internal health is perfectly fine, and you do not appear to be poisoned."
Dan Tianxie was speechless. Who said he was poisoned? He was clearly just choking on something too salty.
Who would have thought that the Eight Immortals crossing the sea would be crossing a salt sea? The tender white tofu was completely covered in salt!
What kind of hellish life does this emperor live every day? Isn't this worse than suffering in the eighteen levels of purgatory?
But at this moment he couldn't utter a complete sentence. Well, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help, so he ignored what Eunuch Cao said.
He stood up and downed the wine on the table in one gulp, drinking two jugs in a row before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
"I just asked Eunuch Cao to give me water, and this dish too..."
Dan Tianxie paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, everyone has to bear this together. What's that saying again? It's only good when everyone is doing well!"
Then he changed the subject, a slightly embarrassed expression appearing on his face.
"This dish is so delicious that I almost bit my tongue off for a moment, which made me lose my composure!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shan Tianxie in surprise, after all, none of the people present were fools.
The expression on Shan Tianxie's face just now didn't look like it was going to taste good, but the Imperial Chef's skills shouldn't be that bad, right?
The emperor looked at the dishes with suspicion. The color and aroma were fine; after all, he had come to express his gratitude...
However, they specially invited Zhuge Kongfang, the former chief chef of the late emperor and known as the God of Food in the capital, to cook for them!
Is it really that bad to eat?
However, as the emperor, he would not believe everything anyone said; the only person he could truly trust was himself!
With this thought in mind, the emperor picked up his chopsticks and gently took a small piece of tofu to taste.
The moment the taste entered his mouth, it was so salty that the emperor almost spat it out. "Is this something for humans to eat?"
However, he still managed to swallow the tofu thanks to his strong willpower, though his brows were furrowed into a deep frown!
This is absolutely awful! Did the Emperor appoint a chef with this kind of culinary skill as the God of Cookery in the capital?
To say something a son shouldn't say, Father, have you lost your mind from eating too much salt?
However, having ascended to the throne, the emperor had another possibility in mind: could it be that someone wanted to frame Zhuge Kongfang?
So, they use this to arrange for their own people to control his diet?
The Emperor thought it over and found it increasingly reasonable. He then instructed Cao Zhengchun, "Why hasn't the person arrived yet? Go and fetch someone else. I must see Zhuge Kongfang today!"
"Yes!"
In a short while, a young eunuch led a fat cook in.
"Your humble servant Zhuge Kongfang pays respects to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Princess."
Zhuge Kongfang was filled with unease on his journey, for it was true that the late emperor loved his cooking.
However, this is the first time the emperor has asked him to cook since he ascended the throne. Is this sudden summons auspicious or inauspicious?
Dan Tianxie, standing to the side, chuckled at the image of Zhuge Kongfang.
The hairstyle of the man in front of me, Zhuge Kongfang, is exactly the same as that of Li Dazui.
Big head, thick neck, either a tycoon or a cook, Uncle Benshan is right!
The emperor, however, paid no attention to any of that and simply stared intently at the former head chef, remaining silent.
Kneeling on the ground, Zhuge Kongfang felt the emperor's oppressive gaze and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself that he was doomed and that today would likely not end well.
It's a pity that I haven't found a successor to my culinary skills.
"Zhuge Kongfang?"
"Wei Chen is here!"
"I now order you to cook one of your signature dishes, within half an hour! Can you do it?"
The emperor asked calmly.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongfang breathed a sigh of relief. Cooking was his forte! There shouldn't be any problem!
Immediately, his back pain and leg pain disappeared, and he felt energetic all over!
Then Cao Zhengchun directed the young eunuchs to set up a simple stove in the Wuying Hall.
Zhuge Kongfang held seven eggs in his hand, tossed them into the air, and then caught them with a bowl.
Of the seven eggs, only the yolks remained in the bowl; the shells and egg whites were discarded.
This incredible move stunned everyone.
Even for someone skilled in martial arts, achieving this level of skill is no easy feat, let alone for someone like Zhuge Kongfang who doesn't know martial arts.
The emperor, empress dowager, and their entourage nodded in approval. Look at the skill of our Ming Dynasty's chief imperial chef!
Zhuge Kongfang didn't care what others thought. While cooking, he had already put all his focus into this dish, "Golden Jade Abundance Brings a Happy Marriage"!
Despite its fancy name, it's just ordinary fried rice. As we all know, the simpler the dish, the harder it is to make.
Zhuge Kongfang skillfully stirred the egg yolks and then began cooking. Flames suddenly rose in the pot as he quickly added various seasonings.
From the moment the seasonings are added to every step, no one who sees it would doubt the skill of the head chef!
But it's not until the step of adding salt that things begin!
Zhuge Kongfang then promptly added five and a half spoonfuls of salt, causing everyone to frown.
Good heavens, no wonder the imperial kitchen used up salt so quickly before.
A moment later, a dish of "Golden Jade Abundance for a Happy Marriage" was served.
The emperor looked at the dish before him, hesitating to take a bite. "Minister Zhuge, I just saw you put in five and a half spoonfuls of salt?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Zhuge Kongfang asked blankly. "When I cooked for the late emperor, I was told to add eight spoonfuls of salt!"
Good heavens! I demand an autopsy to see if Father Emperor was suffocated!
