Ye Qichi ate the snacks that Xiao Jinxing asked Eunuch Mu to send to him.

I felt more and more that Xiao Jinxing was either a traitor or a thief.

But she couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and ate a lot.

After all, people are iron rice and steel. If you don’t eat a meal, you will be so hungry.

Ye Qichi was cooking nutritional supplements on one side of the palace, while Xiao Jinxing and Xiao Zhanping played chess on the other side.

It's time to have lunch.

This is the first time Ye Qichi has seen it, the so-called emperor's meal.

one person.

Dozens of dishes.

It's really not an exaggeration to write in the TV series.

After each dish is served, Eunuch Mu will first try each dish with a silver needle in front of the emperor. After the test, Eunuch Mu will try it first. Only after the test is done, the emperor will start eating.

Ye Qichi looked at the Emperor's meal procedures calmly.

Naturally, I was also thinking about how Zhao Mengyu could drug Xiao Zhanping under such a strict procedure.

It seems that there is no mention in the book.

Not much has been written about Zhao Mengyu's methods to the emperor.

after all.

There are limited things that can be presented to readers in the book, and many plots are like game copies, and you have to discover them yourself.

It's been a long time.

Xiao Zhanping finally started having a meal.

Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing naturally also had a meal with him.

I was very reserved when I had a meal with the emperor.

Ye Qi said sooner or later that the more noble the ancients, especially the ancient people, their demeanor was, the elegance and noble they were engraved into their bones, and even eating could be pleasing to the eye.

Ye Qichi naturally ate carefully.

Not only should you take care of etiquette.

Also, taste the ingredients that seem to contain medicine in these diets.

Ye Qichi asked the palace maid to help her pick up a piece in a bowl for every dish.

Before eating, it seems natural, put it between your nose and breath and smell it lightly, then put it in your mouth and eat it in small mouthfuls.

When eating, I will also observe what Xiao Zhanping has eaten.

What do you like to eat?

Ye Qichi had eaten more than half of the dishes, so there was no problem.

And she suddenly thought that Zhao Mengyu naturally wanted Xiao Zhanping to eat it every day, which was very likely not to put it in the meal. After all, there were so many dishes, the emperor might not eat every dish. Once he didn't eat one of his dishes, it meant that Zhao Mengyu's medication was a failure.

But someone as cautious as Zhao Mengyu would never make such a mistake.

That is to say.

The meal that Zhao Mengyu prescribes must be eaten every day by Xiao Zhanping.

But Xiao Zhanping, what must he eat every day?!

"Father, you still like drinking lotus seed soup so much." Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke.

Xiao Zhanping was holding a bowl of lotus seed soup and savoring it carefully.

Ye Qichi was stunned.

so.

Xiao Jinxing was reminding her that there was something wrong with the lotus seed soup in Xiao Zhanping's bowl.

This guy.

Is it the roundworm in her belly?!

He knew everything she thought.

"I have developed a habit over the years," said Xiao Zhanping. "Every meal, I have to be accompanied by a bowl of lotus seed soup. It seems like I'm addicted. If I don't eat it, I always feel that I'm missing something. You can also try it. The lotus seed soup in the palace has never tasted delicious anywhere else. I've also gone on a tour in a very short time before. The lotus seed soup in other places is just a little bit worse."

"Then my daughter-in-law must try the lotus seed soup that my father strongly recommended." Ye Qichi picked up the lotus seed soup that she had never moved next to her.

The lotus seed soup is crystal clear.

It really looks very high-level and has a lot of appetite.

But after all, lotus seed soup is a sweet food, and you will get tired of it if you eat too much for a long time.

Xiao Zhanping has to eat every meal every day... It's really doubtful.

Ye Qichi seemed to be elegantly placed the lotus seed soup in his breath and sniffed it.

As soon as he smelled the smell, Ye Qichi's face changed slightly.

Xiao Jinxing naturally discovered it.

Since he came to the palace, although he had been with his father, he had also focused on Ye Qichi.

At this moment, I probably knew that Ye Qichi had discovered something strange.

Ye Qichi did discover the difference between lotus seed soup.

She really didn't expect that Zhao Mengyu would lay poppy for Xiao Zhan.

Not large, but it is enough to make a person addicted.

No wonder Xiao Zhanping had to eat such a cup every meal.

nature.

Poppy is not the fundamental reason why Xiao Zhanping has no idea. Poppy just makes Xiao Zhanping eat lotus seed soup every meal. The lotus seed soup contains a large amount of thunder vine and sophora glutinous rice. These are actually two Chinese herbal medicines. Although it has a bitter taste, if you put enough sugar in the lotus seed soup, you can cover the bitter taste and the person who eats it will not notice it. This medicine is originally used to clear heat and detoxify. Long-term consumption will cause male dysfunction and lead to fatigue and even no interest in men and women.

Ye Qichi actually thought that Zhao Mengyu would not be stupid enough to use the method of prescription. It is too easy to find out that the drug is found, and it can only be replaced by some medicines. In fact, many medicines are not just used to treat diseases. Overtaking some drugs will cause harm to the body. Zhao Mengyu probably has been planning for many years, otherwise she would not have done so seamlessly.

She also had an answer in her heart.

At that moment, Xiao Jinxing also gave him a look.

Xiao Jinxing's eyes moved slightly.

It was a response to him.

"How does it taste?" Xiao Zhanping asked when he saw Ye Qichi taking a bite and said.

"It is the most delicious lotus seed soup I have ever eaten." Ye Qichi praised it with great stinginess.

Naturally, I have to cater to him at this moment.

"I have gained a lot of weight because I fell in love with lotus seed soup over the years." Xiao Zhanping said, looking very gentle.

It's like an ordinary father having dinner with his own children.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi also agreed.

The lunch with the emperor ended.

Xiao Zhanping had the habit of taking a lunch break, so he asked someone to take a nap.

Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing left with excuses.

I spent the whole morning with Xiao Zhanping, and it was almost done.

After all, Xiao Zhanping is not a truly idle emperor. He has to deal with many memorials and is still quite hardworking.

The two returned to the carriage.

Ye Qichi said bluntly, "There is indeed a problem with the lotus seed soup."

Xiao Jinxing nodded.

I guessed it long ago.

Ye Qichi said, "There is a kind of poppy flower inside. Although the flower looks good, in fact, excessive use is a drug."

"Drugs?" Xiao Jinxing frowned, "Why can't the silver needle be tried?"

"Of course this is not a drug like arsenic in your current sense. For you, it may be a flower of appreciation, and it will not die after eating it, so it cannot be called a poison. However, it will become addicted after eating it." Ye Qichi gave Xiao Jinxing popular science, "If the consumption reaches a certain amount, the body will also become dependent on poppy."

Xiao Jinxing listened carefully.

I was still a little surprised that Ye Qichi knew so much.

"But fortunately, Concubine Shu was sensible and did not give your father too much. She just put some and gave it a taste, so that your father just thought about eating something every day, but it was not as strong as he was completely dependent."

"That drug that caused my father's body was not poppy?"

"Of course not." Ye Qichi said, "It is another two other Chinese herbal medicines. In fact, both medicines come with three-point poison, and eating too much will be bad for the body. Concubine Shu mastered this principle and used this method to control your father's body, and would not even be discovered by anyone."
