Chapter 103 Reason 1

  "I don't know, but I feel like something is off. This flavor has never been tasted before, and these ingredients wouldn't produce such a taste. What's even stranger is that every dish has it." Zhen Xiaoyan said with furrowed brows.

  "Don't eat anymore, there must be something wrong with this food!" Although Lang hadn't noticed anything, he trusted Zhen Xiaoyan and immediately spat out what he had eaten.

  "Lang, what's wrong?" someone nearby asked upon seeing Lang's actions.

  "There's a problem with the food!" Lang said.

  "Don't talk nonsense! This is food from the imperial palace, it's all been carefully checked. How could there be a problem?" Cheng Tian immediately interrupted.

  Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there must be a problem!"

  "How can you be so sure?" Yi asked.

  "Fei Po said there was a strange taste, she's always dealing with this kind of thing, she wouldn't be wrong." Lang said.

  "Fei Po?" Yi didn't know that Fei Po referred to Zhen Xiaoyan until someone explained it to him. Then he directly asked Zhen Xiaoyan, "Can you confirm that there is a problem with the food?"

  "I can confirm that there's a strange taste, but I'm not sure if there's a problem." Zhen Xiaoyan nodded.

  "Strange taste? Maybe something was dropped into it?" Ruan Lian'er said.

  "That doesn't mean we should eat it!" Zhen Xiaoyan said. For her, food with a strange taste was inedible, no matter what other problems it might have.

  "Huh, grandma, why are you here today too?" Lang seemed to have just discovered this question.

  "Stupid grandson, I've been here all along. Did you just notice now?" Ruan Lian'er patted the thick head and said with a smile.

  "Yes, it's really strange. Even Lao Ba and Shu Shu are here, as well as my cousins. Everyone in our family from the Imperial City is here, all gathered together!" Lang said, somewhat dazed.

  The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a purpose!

  "?! "Ying and Cheng Tian, among others, looked at the people on the side after hearing this, and found that, as Lang said, their family was indeed all present today.

  "How did you all come?" Yue looked at those people who were originally dispensable in this trip.

  "It's because everyone said they'd come to give a rain of baskets, anyway we had nothing better to do, so we just came. What's the big deal?" someone replied.

  "Then who started this first?" asked Niu Yi.

  I heard it from Erniang...

  "I am listening to Third Brother..."

  "I am a one and only"

  In the end, no one started it, they all just followed others, and the first person didn't even know who they heard it from.

  Maybe this is just a temporary excitement in casual conversations, if so, it's not a big deal, what I'm most afraid of is that it's not like that.

  "Wave, what are you doing? Why are you still eating!"

  Zhen Xiaoyan's urgent cry interrupted everyone's thoughts, and at a glance, they saw Lang carefully savoring the problematic dish. This made everyone's heart tighten - was he being foolish again? "I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with it..." Lang replied, and then he continued eating.

  "..., are you crazy? If something goes wrong, what if you get food poisoning, won't it all go to waste?" Long Anqi directly pulled Lang over.

  "Ah......" A faint cry.

  "What's wrong? Did you pull it somewhere?" Long Anqi asked worriedly.

  "No, it's not that... It's what's called Seven Day Absolute. This medicine itself is colorless and tasteless. When a person eats it, they won't die immediately, but will only show symptoms after seven days, or when a catalyst is applied. The flavor of the dish might be affected, but only she can detect it. Also, after taking the Seven Day Absolute, absolutely do not use internal energy or magical power, or the medicine's effects will be triggered immediately!" Rong Yu said, as if talking about something insignificant.

  At this time, everyone's face in the room started to change color...

  "Is there an antidote for this medicine?" asked Yi.

  "There is one, but generally speaking, only those who have configured this medicine will have an antidote. This medicine is very special and has many ways of configuration!" Lang said.

  "That's what it means, only the one who poisoned can antidote, right?" Yue asked, but this seemed to be a question that didn't need an answer. What he needed to know now was, who exactly poisoned him?

  The most suspicious one is the emperor himself. This time, the arrangement of walking in the palace was made by him. If he wants to kill his family, the best way is to catch them all at once and not let anyone go.

  Is it said that the current emperor has begun to fear the power of the Jia family?

  Living with you is like living with a tiger! This sentence applies everywhere, and the people at home are also well aware of it. They won't forget this point just because their own foundation is solid.

  They thought that it would take a long, long time for the empire to destroy the house, and now the house is still loyal. Now, getting rid of the house will only hurt the empire without any benefit. What's the point of this? Nobody knew, but they soon understood.

  "That's right, if you don't want to die, I advise you to surrender obediently!" A figure that made everyone unexpected appeared on the city wall that no one could reach. The gaze of the waves was very cold, as if he wanted to eat him up. "What are you talking about, Eighth Princess?" someone asked in doubt, and many people still didn't know that their food was problematic.

  The unexpected figure was not the Emperor, but the Eighth Princess Zhao Ya'er, "the woman known as terrifying, the one who makes everyone cautious." Zhao Ya'er looked at Lang and said, "What's going on? I don't have anything to talk about with you!" Lang looked back at Zhao Ya'er. Her attitude made a black line appear on her forehead, and she hummed, "Good, still like this until death." "You're the one who's going to die, what a crow's cry!" Lang cursed. "Little Lang, don't say anything for now. What do you want to do? Why did you poison us?" Yi stopped Lang, then turned to Zhao Ya'er and asked, "What?! Poisoning?" The scene erupted into chaos as they only just realized they had been poisoned.

  "I wanted to discuss something with you, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I let you drink first. Originally, I was going to wait until you were full and drunk before bringing it up, but I didn't expect you to discover it, and you actually tasted that it's Seven Day Absolute! It surprised me!" Zhao Yaru's eyes never left Lang's face.

  "I've had some before, so I knew," Lang replied. "You've had it?! This is a world-class poison?!" Zhao Yaru's eyes widened in surprise. "It was an accident, I thought it was cold medicine..." Lang scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

  "What do you want to discuss with us?" Yi asked again. "Nothing much, just asking if you're willing to work with me. I can guarantee that your lives will be the same as before," Zhao Yaru asked calmly.

  "Not willing!" Lang exclaimed first. "I didn't ask you, go to the side!" Zhao Yaru said, slightly angry. "Oh..." Lang responded weakly. "What do you think?" Zhao Yaru asked again.

  At this time, Lang spoke up again: "This won't do, you just promised to be the same as before, you should say it's better than before!" At this time, Lang still pretended he hadn't spoken and looked away with his head!

  "Shut up! I'll deal with you later!" Zhao Ya shouted, wondering why she felt so angry whenever she saw this guy. Luckily, after today, she wouldn't have to see him again. "Why should I listen to you? You're not the emperor, nor are you my wife." Lang retorted. "I'm leaving right now!!" Zhao Ya coldly snorted, referring to the front, while behind her...

  However, Lang was different from her and immediately shouted: "Impossible! I'd rather die than marry you!" "Get out! I'd rather die than marry you!" Zhao Ya Jing angrily said. Then why did you say you were leaving right away?! Lang looked at Zhao Ya Jing in surprise. Are you an idiot? "I used to be, but now it seems not!" Lang replied. "He's saying that she wants to become the empress immediately." Long An Qi shook his head helplessly, his beloved daughter still didn't understand the current situation. "Oh, talking about this, scared me to death, I thought she was going to force me to marry her, she's really scary, no, should say terrifying!" Lang seemed to have put his heart at ease.

  Zhao Ya gritted her teeth, now she hated him so much that she wished she could swallow him whole!

  "Huh? No way, you want to be the emperor? Can a woman even be an emperor? And your old man is the current emperor, will he pass the throne down to you?" Lang asked in confusion.

  "Of course a woman can be an emperor, the Empress of the Aila Empire is a female monarch!" Zhao Yaqi replied "And also, my old man... he has already promised to pass on the throne to me!!"

  "Cut it out, who believes you? Call him out!" Lang said disdainfully.

  "Someone, bring the former emperor up here!" Zhao Ya'er clapped her hands and said calmly.

  The former emperor? Could it be...

  No, this is impossible!

  But reality is cruel...

  Only one person was seen carrying a tray to the top of the city wall, and on this tray was placed a bloody human head, which was that of the emperor. The emperor's face still had that look of astonishment and incredulity, as if he did not dare to believe it.

  "Little brother, are you playing a trick on her? This is going too far, quickly take back this fake head." Because of the previous fake head incident, Blue Rain is now suspicious, and many people are also suspecting this, hoping it's just a joke.

  Although it's been played too much, at least it's just for fun!!

  In everyone's heart, they hope Lang and Zhao Yaru are just playing tricks on them, deceiving them. But is that really the case?
