"What exactly happened? Why are Uncle Huang and Mr. Huang, the two old Imperial Chefs, facing unjust accusations?"
Xin Lin vaguely guessed that the matter of the two Imperial Chefs might be related to Chairman Mu and their hurried departure.
But the specifics of the connection weren’t clear to the Huang family either.
"When the old man was brought back, he was already severely injured and could only speak incoherently; I couldn’t understand clearly."
Grand Dowager Huang shook her head.
Everyone else was equally clueless.
"Alright, you all take care of Mr. Huang first, while I find a way to inquire and investigate."
Xin Lin thought that perhaps Shi Pin and Little Xinzhuo might know sothing.
If all else fails, she could still contact Captain Yang to see if he could find out anything.
During the night, Xin Lin made so connections and indeed obtained so news.
After sundown, Captain Yang switched shifts and hurriedly rushed to the Huang Residence.
"I’ve only heard rumors that soone in the palace sent a gift to the Emperor wanting him to cook Spiritual Food. But no one knows what it is, and no one knows how to prepare Spiritual Food with it. The gift can’t be returned, and tomorrow is the banquet, during which that guest is bound to make a fuss. Currently, the Imperial Kitchen is in chaos, and it’s said that several Imperial Chefs have already lost their heads over this."
The news brought by Captain Yang was truly not good news.
Upon hearing this, the Huang family nearly fainted.
"My father..."
Huang Xuerou’s eyes were red from crying.
"Is this the daughter of Imperial Chef Huang? Your father is only being held in the cell, so don’t worry for now. However... if the people from the Imperial Kitchen and the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association haven’t figured out how to prepare that Spiritual Delicacy by tomorrow, then..."
Captain Yang shook his head.
It was truly an unforeseen calamity; a well-organized banquet inviting guests turned into such a huge issue.
At this mont, the Imperial Palace was still in turmoil.
"If I’m not mistaken, that gift should be an Xuan Spirit Beast, right?"
After listening, Xin Lin roughly understood the whole context.
No wonder Chairman Mu and Master Chen were called into the palace.
They were considered the most outstanding among the civilian Spiritual Delicacy Masters.
If even they have no thods, then it’s likely that all the Spiritual Delicacy Masters in Longteng Country are powerless.
"Exactly, it’s said to be a very strange-looking Xuan Spirit Beast. I’ve never seen it myself, but so of the guards from the Imperial Army on duty have seen it and said it’s unheard of and unseen, and several were injured."
Captain Yang shook his head.
At this point, he only hoped the banquet would end soon.
But looking at the current situation, it seems to be quite troubleso.
Especially with the intention of the guest who sent the gift, who knows what they were thinking, gifting such a present.
"The intention is quite clear, evidently wanting to embarrass Longteng Country and do so in front of nurous foreign guests. The banquet has already been thrown into disarray before it even starts, tomorrow it’s bound to be chaotic. If it’s misfortune, it can’t be avoided."
Xin Lin rubbed her chin, deep in thought.
"Then isn’t my father dood?"
Huang Xuerou was both shocked and terrified.
"Unless soone can prepare that Xuan Spirit Beast, otherwise, the Imperial Kitchen and Longteng Country this ti, will both suffer greatly."
Xin Lin said.
It’s such a pity she hasn’t had the chance to see that Xuan Spirit Beast.
If she could see it, she might be able to compare it to the preparation thods in Spiritual Delicacies, use the Dan Wood Furnace, and co up with a leader dish to save the Huang family.
