It seems that someone is going to be in trouble.
Indeed, someone is going to be in trouble. Three days later, an incident occurred in the Imperial Kitchen, which was neither too serious nor too trivial: the ginseng used to make soup for the Old Emperor was swapped with an old radish!
On a smaller scale, this was a mistake by the Palace Attendants, but on a larger scale, it was a crime of deceiving the Emperor!
Lu Chong, who was in charge of the Imperial Kitchen, immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Then, in the place where Qin Shi stored firewood, they found a few roots of the Hundred-year Ginseng.
Someone immediately recalled the Hundred-year Ginseng used by Qin Shi during the chef competition and started shouting that Qin Shi was the thief!
Qin Shi couldn't defend himself and, in desperation, claimed that the ginseng he used was bestowed by the Second Prince.
But such words were even less believable to people.
The first person who didn't believe it was Bai Jing.
