Chapter 108: All Confessions
Logically speaking, there is no problem telling Xiao Yu, it is just alum, not poison, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
He was just worried that if anyone knew that using alum could purify water, would he learn to do it.
You should know that there are so many people in this world who love to cause trouble.
They don’t know what the sequelae will be if they drink too much alum purifier. Once they learn this method, they will definitely use it on a large scale.
It is said that Chen'an uses pure water to cook tea, which also has the ingredients to show off.
However, he absolutely does not want to harm others, and he must not let others use this method.
The problem is that Xiao Yu is definitely not someone who can easily coax the past.
Chen An weighed the pros and cons, and Xiao Yu's forced force became even heavier.
In the end, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth.
"I can't say it to my subordinates."
"you!"
"There must be something wrong with this potion, don't think I can't see it!"
Chen An changed his words to be subordinates, and Xiao Yu agreed, so he made up his mind and stopped talking.
"I want to report to Your Majesty truthfully!"
After saying this, Xiao Yu left.
The speed was so fast that Chen An didn't react at all. When he chased him out, he didn't even catch the smoke and dust of the carriage.
"Mr. Chen, what should I do?"
"Will you backfire?" Fox Zhi, who laughed at him every day, rarely showed a hesitant look.
"No!" Chen An comforted.
As dusk gradually approached, the street drums began to ring. Seeing that the gate of the cemetery was about to close, Li Zhi was fine. Anyway, the King of Jin was also in Shanhefang.
There is no need to worry about not going out at night.
In order to appease the lost Li Zhi, Chen An decided to cook again.
I have eaten rice, but he has become angry these two days and eats vegetarian food every day. He has no fresh meat reserves at home.
Li Zhi is a distinguished guest, so he always needs to prepare some delicious food.
After thinking about it, it was the thriving water chestnut that inspired him.
Although there are very few people who survive, it is no problem to save someone urgently.
According to his prediction, the water chestnuts in the suburbs have grown almost the same. If he has time in the past two days, he will pick a few more trees and replenish them.
Or just fry the water chestnut, they have never eaten it anyway.
"Is it really okay?" Chen An also gave Lizhi licorice tea. Helplessly, Li Zhi was in a bad mood. The drink that he thought was very delicious in the afternoon became tasteless at this moment.
Thinking of Xiao Yu's expression when he left, Li Zhi was still worried.
Xiao Yu has a very good temper. He knew very well. If he really continued to make trouble, Chen An would probably be in trouble.
"Is that potion really okay?"
Now it can be confirmed that there is no problem with water, it is from the old public well, and the problem is the white potion.
What secret is hidden in the small porcelain bottle?
Chen An washed the water chestnuts, put them on the cutting board, and smiled and said, "It's okay."
“It’s definitely OK.”
"Your Highness King Jin, I can only tell you what you say, it is all the truth, and I hope you don't doubt it."
Li Zhi ran to the stove and stood by, watching him chop vegetables, and looked like he wanted to hear the details.
"That potion is not something toxic, but it's really a bit of a problem."
Li Zhi felt a little nervous. Is there any problem?
Was this handle finally caught by Mr. Xiao?
"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"Can your highness see the elixirs refined by Taoist priests?" Chen An cut a piece of water chestnut, and Li Zhi nodded: "Of course I've seen it."
"There are many medicinal materials in the elixir, and there are several essential ones, such as sulfur and cinnabar, which cannot be said to be beneficial to the human body, right?"
Chen An tried his best to guide him, and he didn't know if he could understand it with Li Zhi's level of knowledge.
Compared with Li Shimin in his later years, although Li Zhi was weak and sick, he was never a superstitious person. Judging from historical records, he did not have any records of taking elixirs.
In this way, he should be able to listen.
"You mean, the materials you use are similar to cinnabar?" Li Zhi leaned against the stove and said thoughtfully.
"It's not that serious. It will definitely not harm people, but drinking it for a long time will still harm the body."
He started stir-frying lamb oil, the smoke steamed, the meat smell became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Li Zhi's saliva was almost flowing out.
"Since it is harmful, why do you still give it to your father for drink?"
"I admit that I was a little selfish at the beginning, because I was really worried about making money when starting a class, and I was afraid that Your Majesty would punish me. So, I wanted to use this thing to get a little better."
"Your Highness clearly understands that I have absolutely no intention of harming Your Majesty."
"real!"
Chen An was so nervous that he could not even hold the knife.
On Li Zhi's red little face, the solemn expression gradually faded away, and Chen An saw hope.
"Mr. Chen, what kind of potion is it? Even I have to keep it confidential?"
"I have been protecting you all the time, but you don't believe me!"
"I'm so disappointed with you!"
Chen An had the heart to commit suicide by biting his tongue. At this time, it would be great if he was a mute. He could not speak or write, and he would not be confused anymore.
Then no one will force him to tell the truth.
Forget it, even if he puts his mouth on the zipper, he may not be able to get over it.
"Actually, it's just alum potion."
"Alum?"
"Alum for alchemy?"
Li Zhi seems to be very knowledgeable.
Chen An nodded: "That's right."
"Can the turbid water be so pure with just that thing?"
If Li Zhi said this from others, he would never believe it, but now Chen An said it, he couldn't help but refuse to believe it.
This person has always had endless ideas.
The alum looked extremely ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be of such use.
Hehe, if you know this method, he will try it another day.
"Your Highness, you want to assure me that you will never try it yourself, nor will you let others try it."
As soon as Li Zhi's little thoughts came out, he heard Chen An's mumbling thoughts.
"Why can't you try?"
"I know that Taoist priests often use elixirs when they are refining alchemy. They may have taken it as well."
"It should be fine, can't you really drink too much?"
Look, I have said this a long time ago, and I can't say it out loud. I don't listen to it one by one and insist on forcing him. Sure enough, everything was as expected and I started to try it out.
Fortunately, he didn't tell him the ratio of the potion, otherwise, this matter would definitely not be over.
"Your Highness, you can't keep your word!"
"I really didn't lie to you. Alum cannot be eaten for a long time, and it is very harmful!"
He couldn't control cooking or something. In any case, he had to extinguish Li Zhi's evil thought in the bud.
He was at full speed and talked a lot. All of what Li Zhi could understand and what he couldn't understand were poured out.
In short, alum water is definitely not suitable for long-term drinking. If you go against the will of heaven, you can only become a pure fool egg.
