Why am I, a cook, always involved in cases?

After taking a bath, Quan Wushuang slowly raised his wine glass, and the wine slowly flowed into his throat, bringing a sense of relaxation.

In recent days, many difficult cases have come one after another, which has made him feel extremely stressed and even put his life in danger at one point.

Recalling the thrilling scene in the morgue, Quan Wushuang secretly handled the affairs of the dietary and pharmaceutical officer, which was just a temporary measure.

While the coffin of the Dietary Medicine Officer was in storage, a coffin merchant came to deliver it, but he insisted that he had never received such an order, which was quite suspicious.

As for the female official in charge of diet and medicine, she is even more full of mysteries.

She has a close relationship with the cook because her adoptive father was once the cook's mentor.

However, this adoptive father adopted her only a few years ago because he appreciated her talent, but her previous life experience was a mystery.

Quan Wushuang knew very well that the road ahead was long and the doubts were still there.

Things in the world are often like this. Before one thing is resolved, new worries arise.

Faced with this situation, Quan Wushuang had no choice but to keep the problem in mind and not forget his original intention.

The crackling sound of charcoal was heard, and Quan Wushuang was shocked to realize that the outside of the window was covered in silver and the cold was pressing.

He put on his clothes, and the clothes on General Zhimou's bed made a slight metallic clinking sound.

The design of this building is quite clever. The sound came from the entrance, and Quan Wushuang could roughly judge the identity of the visitor just by the sound.

Sure enough, the follower Gao Zhongcheng walked into the house with a frown on his face.

"This humble servant has sent Lin Zhiruo back safely."

"Thank you."

Every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Quan Wushuang would ask Gao Zhongcheng to escort Lin Zhiruo back.

Lin Zhiruo was injured a few days ago while protecting Quan Wushuang. If she is not treated in time, it may leave hidden dangers.

In addition to his foot injury, Quan Wushuang also had doubts about the strange general Zhimou who claimed to be Lin Zhiruo's father.

This person is notorious in the palace and does all kinds of evil. Quan Wushuang has to be on guard against him.

It is said that the reason why Lin Zhiruo was able to break into the altar was because of this person's secret help.

The military officer who beat Lin Zhiruo must be suffering terribly from his torture at this moment.

Gao Zhongcheng has been with Quan Wushuang for many years and knows Quan Wushuang's thoughts very well. He does things silently and never says much, which makes Quan Wushuang less worried.

Since Quan Wushuang was weaned, Gao Zhongcheng has become his teacher and has been by his side.

Although he left for a period of time due to work reasons, he is still one of Quan Wushuang's closest people.

What's more, Gao Zhongcheng's wife is Quan Wushuang's wet nurse, and his kindness to Quan Wushuang is beyond words.

"You need to go to the harem tomorrow." Quan Wushuang said.

Gao Zhongcheng responded and brought two silver cups and a pot.

The liquid in this pot has a strange sweet taste and needs to be consumed daily to be effective.

Gao Zhongcheng poured the liquid into the silver cup and drank it himself first.

This was the job that Lin Zhiruo was eager to do, but it had no effect when consumed by a woman.

Gao Zhongcheng frowned, drank the liquid in one gulp, and waited for a while.

"It should be fine, just like usual."

What is meant by "no different from the past" is that the strange smell remains the same.

This liquid is made from exotic potato starch imported from far away and has special effects.

Quan Wushuang and Gao Zhongcheng also need to consume several kinds of food every day.

Quan Wushuang picked up the silver cup, pinched his nose, and drank it all in one gulp.

He wiped the remaining liquid from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and took the cold boiled water handed to him by Henghua.

Although he has been drinking it for five years, he still finds it difficult to get used to the taste.

"It's better for the manager not to pinch his nose in front of others." Henghua reminded softly.

"I know." There was a hint of displeasure in Quan Wushuang's voice.

"This will make the steward look young." Henghua said again.

"I know." Quan Wushuang sat awkwardly on General Zhimou's bed.

He knew very well that as a eunuch, he had to be cautious in his words and actions.

The tone of voice, the way of speaking, the walking posture, and the movements all need to be carefully considered.

Quan Wushuang is 28 years old this year, in the prime of his youth.

He puffed out his chest and tried to assume the posture of a eunuch, but the smell of the medicine lingered for a long time, making his expression a little relaxed.

Seeing this, Gao Zhongcheng frowned again.

"If you don't like it, don't drink it."

"This is the mentality of a eunuch."

It has been more than five years since the harem came into the emperor's possession.

Quan Wushuang also spent a long time wearing this deformed mask.

He drank this potion that made people lose their virility every day, and he remained indifferent even when the emperor gave him women lower than concubines.

Gao Zhongcheng pressed the wrinkles on his brow and said softly:

"If this continues, it will be really difficult to carry out the uprising."

When Quan Wushuang heard this, the cold boiled water in his mouth sprayed out.

He covered his mouth and looked at Gao Zhongcheng with a complaint.

Gao Zhongcheng smiled back, as if to say, "I need to get my shit out of me sometimes."

"What about you?" Quan Wushuang asked back.

"I had a grandson last month."

Gao Zhongcheng's son has grown up, and he feels that he no longer needs to worry about his children and grandchildren.

"How old are you?" Quan Wushuang asked.

"To the chief steward, I am thirty-five years old."

Quan Wushuang remembered that Gao Zhongcheng got married at the age of sixteen and had three sons the following year.

These three children are like brothers to Quan Wushuang, especially the youngest son, who is closest to Quan Wushuang.

When the seaweed poisoning incident occurred a few days ago, the young man who took Lin Zhiruo to the official's house was Gao Zhongcheng's youngest son.

"Which son gave birth to it?"

"Since it is the eldest son's son, I think the other son should also get married."

"He's only twenty-three, isn't he?"

"Exactly. The same age as Your Highness."

Gao Zhongcheng did not call Quan Wushuang "Quan Wushuang", but used a more intimate name.

Although Quan Wushuang is already 28 years old, he became a eunuch five years ago and is still a young junior in the eyes of the world.
