Chapter 51 Toxic
Fengcheng Jue heard a report from his servants, saying that the cook had poisoned the chili pepper he brought back after cutting it. The flesh on the back of his hand was not only red, but also burned with pain.He hurriedly asked his servants to ask the doctor to show the cook a look, and then he went to the kitchen himself.

The cook sat on the round stool in the kitchen, holding her hand that was still burning and painful. Her face was pale and she had already begun to think of what happened behind her.

Aunt Wei, who came after hearing the news, looked at the back of the cook's red hands, then looked at the plate of chopped chili peppers, and cursed angrily: "There must be some evil person with a black heart who wants to poison her." Where is our prince!"

The prince came back from the palace. Needless to say, this chili pepper must have been taken from the palace.It must have been the poisonous woman in the palace who gave this poisonous thing to the prince in the name of a reward, so that he could take it home and eat it, so as to poison their prince.

Although she believed so in her heart, she couldn't say it directly.Even though this is their palace, there are some things that cannot be said.

Fengcheng Jue and Feng Qing arrived in the kitchen, looked at the pale cook, and frowned.Logically speaking, the emperor's sister-in-law had no reason to harm him, so she certainly wouldn't give him poisonous things and asked him to take them back and fry them.

"Does it hurt?" Feng Chengjue looked at the cook and asked.

The cook moved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It doesn't seem to hurt so much anymore?"

It was indeed a burning pain at the beginning, but now the pain has eased a lot.

"Doctor Bai is here."

The doctor of Prince Jue's Mansion carried the medicine box into the kitchen. When he saw Fengcheng Jue was there, he clasped his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Feng Chengjue nodded, looked at Doctor Bai and said, "Hurry up and show it to the cook."

"Yes." Doctor Bai put the medicine box on the long table beside him and asked the cook to stretch out his hand and check her pulse.

After a moment, he took back his hand and said, "The cook is fine. She was not poisoned."

How could it be okay?The cook's eyes widened and she said, "But my hand... it really hurt just now! Isn't this poisoning?"

Doctor Bai looked at the back of her hand and saw that it was indeed a little red, so he asked her what she had touched?
The cook said that she cut the pepper that the prince brought back and that was it. Doctor Bai picked up a cut pepper and smelled it, then tested it with a silver needle.Finally, he said: "This thing is not poisonous, but it is a bit pungent and irritating. Because the skin on the back of the hand is thin, and its juice comes into contact, the skin and flesh will become red and painful, but it is not poisoning."

"You shouldn't be in as much pain now as you were at the beginning, right?" he asked again.

The cook nodded awkwardly, and two red clouds appeared on her originally pale face.She was making a joke today. She was just cutting something and her hands were hurt, but she thought she was poisoned, which made people upset.

Fengcheng Jue smiled and said that the emperor's wife had no reason to harm him and would not give him poisonous food.

"Can this food be eaten?" Nanny Wei looked at Doctor Bai and asked.

Doctor Bai stroked his beard and thought for a while, "This is the first time I have seen this thing, and I don't know if it can be eaten. However, since it is non-toxic, there will be no big problem even if I eat it."

There won't be any big problems, but that doesn't guarantee there won't be problems.Aunt Wei looked at her prince and said, "Your Majesty, the juice in this thing will make your hands uncomfortable if you touch it. If you eat it in your stomach, will your stomach feel better? It's better not to eat it, lest you fall into someone's conspiracy. "

Even if the poisonous woman in the palace didn't want to poison their prince with this substance, she definitely wanted to make him feel uncomfortable and torture their prince.

When Fengcheng Jue heard this, he knew that Nanny Wei had misunderstood and mistakenly thought that the pepper was given by the Queen Mother.

He smiled and said, "Mommy misunderstood. This chili pepper was given to me by a friend of mine. She won't harm me. Since it's not poisonous, let's fry it!"

Seeing that the prince did not listen to her, Aunt Wei frowned and called out: "Your Majesty..."

Even if the thing here was not given by the poisonous woman, it is something that even Doctor Bai has never seen before, so it cannot be fried and eaten casually! "Mr. Bai has never eaten this thing. It's fried. Can I let Mr. Bai try it too?" In addition to being a doctor, Dr. Bai is also a gourmet. He is also full of curiosity about this new thing.

Aunt Wei was so angry that her head hurt. She glanced at Doctor Bai dissatisfiedly. If he didn't try to persuade the prince, why would he join in the fun?
"Okay." Fengcheng Jue agreed with a smile.

There was also a table in the kitchen. Fengcheng Jue was too lazy to run around, so he stayed in the kitchen, planning to eat directly in the kitchen when the meal was ready.

The cook's hands were no longer so uncomfortable. She first cooked three dishes, boiled a soup, and finally stir-fried the peppers and meat.

After frying the chili for a while, a strong and pungent spicy smell spread throughout the kitchen.

"Cough cough..."

The cook covered her mouth and nose with her elbow while stirring the food in the pot with a shovel. Her eyes were so smoked that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Cough cough cough..."

Others in the kitchen were choked by the spicy smell and coughed, and fled out of the kitchen.

"Your Majesty, cough, cough, cough..." Aunt Wei said in a hoarse voice, "This stuff tastes so pungent when fried, I'm afraid I really can't eat it."

Fengcheng Jue coughed twice and said, "The smell is a bit choking, but don't you think it's not only choking, but also very fragrant?"

Aunt Wei: No, I don’t think so at all.

Doctor Bai nodded in agreement and said, "Bai thinks so too."

The smell is a bit pungent, but it also has a spicy smell, which is more fragrant than the spicy smell of dogwood and ginger.

The cook finished frying a plate of chili-fried pork with tears in her eyes.After taking out the vegetables, I added water to the pot, which lessened the spicy taste.

The food is all ready and placed on the long table in the kitchen. Although the spicy smell in the kitchen is not as pungent as when cooking, the smell is still there.

Fengqing brought the filled rice to the prince's hand, and then went to fill up a huge bowl of rice himself.

Doctor Bai had already had dinner. He didn't have any food, but only had an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Feng Chengjue looked at the fried green peppers, picked up the chopsticks, and reached out to pick them up.

Aunt Wei quickly blocked it with her hands and said, "Let Feng Qing eat first."

No one has ever eaten this thing, so naturally the prince cannot be allowed to eat it first.

Fengqing didn't mind becoming the poison tester at all, so he took a chopstick of chili peppers and meat and put it into his mouth.After chewing for two times, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a few bites of rice while holding the big bowl.

"How?" Doctor Bai swallowed and said.

Fengqing couldn't help but nodded and said: "It's very spicy, but also very fragrant. It goes well with rice and is very exciting." As he said that, he took another chopstick and put it into his mouth, and then took a few more bites of rice.
