Zhou Rongyun thought about it, and asked someone to take Li Ke to a guest room.
Li Ke took a bath, had a meal, tossed and turned insomnia until early in the morning, only to find that he was grounded when he woke up.
In the book, even if the first sentence he hears when he travels through is not "Your Majesty has finally woken up", at least it is "The young master is alive", and he is surrounded by panicked maids and doctors.
Li Ke looked at the locked door and the shadow of the guards outside, feeling sad in his heart.
It was three days later that he saw Zhou Rongqi again.
Zhou Rongjun pointed to a wooden box placed on the table, and said: "Here are all the mushrooms that look like shiitake mushrooms that they have found from various sources. Look for the toadstool you mentioned."
Li Ke stepped forward and picked slowly for a long time, picked up a piece and looked at the most popular one, hesitantly said: "This seems to be that kind... and it seems to be just a mushroom."
Zhou Rongju didn't talk nonsense, he immediately had a dog caught and stuffed mushrooms into the dog's mouth.
Half a day passed, and the dog was alive and kicking.
"..." Li Ke said, "I remembered it again. The article said that after being fried, the poisonous one smells slightly bitterer than shiitake mushrooms."
Zhou Rongqi said, "Are you delaying time?"
Li Ke said: "No! Really not! I swear!"
[twenty]
Li Ke was sent back to the guest room again.
Zhou Rong ordered someone to bring him a stove, a small pot, and a daily supply of mushrooms, and gave him ten days to find the poisonous mushrooms.
Li Ke looked at the pot.
Li Ke said sadly: "I feel that I have just broken through the lower limit of treatment for people who travel through time."
Zhou Rongyun seemed to think about it after hearing the words.
Zhou Rongyun said slowly, "I'll give you the dog too."
"..."
[twenty one]
Li Ke said: "Mice... just a mouse. Oh, I also want vegetable oil."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Go to the kitchen to get the ingredients yourself, someone will follow you, don't run around anywhere else."
The room has been filled with oily smoke since then.
Three mice were kept in a cage as Rick's experimental subjects. Only a small piece of each mushroom is cut out and put into the pot. After being out of the pot, put it under the nose to smell it, and then feed it to the mice.
Li Ke did not report the good news for a long time, and Zhou Rongqi did not visit the scene to check.
The emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. The whole court was in a state of turmoil, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with His Royal Highness King Yu. Every day Li Ke could see Zhou Rongjun strolling in the courtyard enjoying the flowers from the window, and sometimes he would sit down to read a book and eat snacks, as if he was a wealthy idler who didn't care about anything.
Li Ke couldn't help thinking: Who is he going to kill with such a person putting in so much effort
What kind of person is it that the majestic prince can't be executed directly, but he has to spend so much time to act in secret
The more Li Ke thought about it, the more he felt that he might not live long.
[twenty two]
On the seventh day, Zhou Rongyun happened to pass by the door of the guest room, and smelled the tangy aroma of vegetables.
Zhou Rongyun pushed open the door, and saw Li Ke sitting cross-legged on the ground facing the stove, holding a plate of tempting dishes of shredded pork with shiitake mushrooms, and eating rice wine that was used as a condiment in the kitchen, enjoying himself very comfortably.
Li Ke said: "Come, come, do you want to try it, Your Highness? We also made shiitake mushroom cabbage and shiitake mushroom tofu soup here."
Zhou Rongqi looked down at the mouse in the cage beside him.
The three mice were chubby after being fed, their fur was slick, and they looked half-poisoned.
Li Ke said: "If they are okay after eating them for half a day, I will put the rest in the pot by the way. It's just that I feel a little sick when I smell the mushrooms after eating it."
Zhou Rongyun bent down, took the chopsticks in Li Ke's hand, turned around, and ate a piece of shiitake mushroom with the end of the chopsticks.
Li Kedao: "Have you improved your culinary skills?"
Zhou Rongqi said: "Do you know that you only have three days left?"
Li Ke said: "I know. If I can't kill a mouse within three days, I will die."
Zhou Rongqi said, "Yes."
Li Ke said: "If I poison one of them, I will die too."
Zhou Rongqi said, "Why?"
Li Kedao: "It looks like you're plotting something big. I'm isolated in the room for the experiment, so that it's convenient to silence the incident after it's done."
Zhou Rongyun praised and said, "That's right, you still have some brains."
"..."
Li Ke said: "Thank you."
[twenty-three]
Li Ke said: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have struggled. If you send me to the prison, at least I can live for a few more years."
Zhou Rongyun said: "You came here from another world just to spend the rest of your life in the sky prison? Can you live with a little ambition?"
"..."
Zhou Rongqi said: "You help me make poisonous vegetables, and I will let you live for two months."
"..."
Li Ke said: "Thank you."
[twenty four]
It happened suddenly.
In the evening of the next day, when Li Ke was cutting mushrooms as usual, a mouse in the cage suddenly turned its belly over, foamed at the mouth, kicked its legs, and died with a "squeak".
Li Ke blinked in disbelief, squatted down, and looked at the mouse silently. After a long time, I poured myself a glass of rice wine and said, "Life is impermanent, and there are always good and bad times. Brother Mouse, you take a step first, and the younger brother will arrive in a few days. Come, I will toast you."
When Zhou Rongyun entered the door, he saw Li Ke was pouring half a glass of wine on the floor in front of the dead mouse.
Zhou Rongqi asked, "Where are the mushrooms you feed it?"
Li Ke put down his wine glass, pulled out a plate of mushrooms with a small piece cut off, and said, "It's one of these."
Zhou Rongjun nodded and said, "Cut another piece from each one. Come here, bring some death row prisoners."
A few days later, after scientific screening experiments, the toadstool was finally found.
Li Ke looked at the hideous corpse of the unlucky death row prisoner, and weakly raised his hand to his forehead.
Zhou Rongyun said, "Are you afraid?"
Li Kedao: "I think I was regarded as the god of dark cooking by my relatives and friends, but I never thought that one day I would be able to send people to heaven."
"..."
[twenty five]
Li Ke poured himself another glass of yellow rice wine, and said, "Life is impermanent, and there will be misfortunes and blessings every day. Brother death row, you take a step first, and the younger brother will arrive soon."
Zhou Rongyun suddenly laughed.
Zhou Rongqi raised his hand while laughing, his slender fingers covered his eyes nervously, his shoulders twitched and he bent down.
Li Ke said: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Rongyun said in a low voice, "Laughing is a blessing in disguise."
"..."
Li Kedao: "You are indeed a person who has accomplished great things."
Li Ke said again: "Laughing like you are usually characters who destroy the world."
[Twenty-six]
The people in the palace were able to do things well, using that poisonous mushroom as a standard, they quickly found a batch of identical ones.
Zhou Rongjun retreated again and everyone brought Li Ke into the execution hall to show him a dish. In the center of the extravagant and lustful gold plate, there is a fat carp placed in a precious and precious place.
Zhou Rongyun said: "This is a regular dish in the imperial dining room in the palace, called Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate. It is braised carp, served with shiitake mushrooms, Chinese cabbage heart and winter bamboo shoots. This dish is often served at banquets in the palace."
Li Ke said: "I don't understand."
Zhou Rongqi said: "You are limited to learn this dish within two months, and the appearance and taste must be exactly the same, so that the real ones can be confused with the real ones."
Li Ke said: "I seem to understand a little bit."
Zhou Rongqi said, "Tell me about it."
Li Ke said: "You want me to replace the shiitake mushrooms with those poisonous mushrooms, and mix my cooking into the palace banquet."
Zhou Rongqi said: "Not bad."
Li Kedao: "I heard that every dish in the palace will be tested for poison with silver needles before serving. You want to create a poison that cannot be tested with silver needles. I also heard that there are special people in the palace to taste the food. But toadstools take several hours to take effect, and they don't help if they taste them."
Zhou Rongqi said: "You think a lot."
Li Ke said: "I suddenly thought of another one, do you want to listen?"
Zhou Rongyun said, "Let's listen."
Li Kedao: "Since it's a palace banquet, no matter who is invited to attend, there must be only one person."
[Twenty-seven]
Li Ke knew that he already knew too much, but he was not very afraid.
Zhou Rongjun said that he still has two months to live, and after those two months, it must be the day when the poisonous mushrooms will come in handy.
Two months later it happened to be the New Year's Eve dinner.
Li Ke entered into the intensive practice.
The appearance of poisonous mushrooms is slightly redder than that of shiitake mushrooms, and the taste is slightly bitterer than that of shiitake mushrooms. It takes a lot of effort to cover up their true color and odor.
All of a sudden, there was more oily smoke in the room, and the smell of mushrooms was disgusting.
Li Ke finally couldn't take it anymore.
Li Ke said: "I quit."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Oh, you want to die?"
"..."
[Twenty-eight]
Li Ke said: "Anyway, I'm going to die. There's only more than a month left, and I'm still bored in the room every day, except for frying mushrooms. What's the point of lingering? It's better to die."
Zhou Rongyun understood. Zhou Rongyun sipped his tea and said, "So you want to go out?"
"..."
Li Ke said: "It's hard to come here, at least let me go shopping in the capital."
Zhou Rongyun said: "You know too many secrets, I can't let you out of my sight."
Li Ke said: "So you can go shopping with me."
"..."
Zhou Rong said: "What did you say, say it again."
Li Ke said: "So you can go shopping with me."
[Twenty-nine]
Zhou Rongqi is a man who achieves great things.
People who achieve great things cannot trust anyone on key issues.
So even though there were hidden guards following behind him, he changed into casual clothes himself and stood beside Li Ke.
Li Ke changed into new clothes and went out happily. The four Qu and eight streets in the capital are bustling with people. Zhou Rongyun folded his hands and said, "Where are you going?"
Li Kexin said: Naturally, go to a place where I can escape.
Zhou Rongyun doesn't know martial arts, but his secret guard skills are very good. Li Ke had thought it over for a while. He had to go to the gathering place of the three religions and the nine streams, try to get into the crowd as much as possible, and create some chaos, so as to take the opportunity to escape.
Li Ke said: "Let's go to the brothel."
"..."
Li Ke said: "Let's go to the brothel."
"I heard it."
