The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 922 - 920: The Whereabouts of the Dragon Bait

"Why is it Xin Lin again?"

Empress Feng said in surprise.

Lately, the name Xin Lin has been giving her quite a headache.

The birthday banquet was organized by Empress Feng herself, but in the end, it was Shi Pin and Xin Lin who received the awards.

Long Qingchen was even fined and lost his salary because of the banquet.

Shi Pin, on the other hand, received praise from the Empress Dowager for her recommendations.

Xin Lin was also titled Princess by Emperor Longteng. It seemed all the benefits were taken by Xin Lin and Shi Pin.

This grievance has been stuck in Empress Feng’s throat for a long time.

And now, the Dragon Bait is also related to Xin Lin.

This Xin is practically the nemesis of her and her son.

Empress Feng’s eyes showed anger.

"Empress, Xin Lin is young yet already a Three-star Spirit Chef. The buns she made and that new dish are unprecedented. If she’s not in possession of a special Spiritual Food recipe, then she must have guidance from a master. President Mu of the Spirit Food Association is also backing her. From what I know, Xin Lin has only studied Spiritual Food for a few months, so there must be something wrong."

Yang Su spoke about Xin Lin with great indignation.

Xin Lin’s victory was too bizarre.

Everything was in his favor: timing, surroundings, and circumstances, with no issues in his Spiritual Longevity Peach Bun.

But unexpectedly, first his firewood was wrong, and then the county government suddenly received a report, wherein the firewood he framed Xin Lin with was swapped.

These realizations came to Yang Su only after he was imprisoned.

A mere Xin Lin couldn’t have accomplished so much on her own.

Yang Su had every reason to believe Xin Lin had connections with the Spiritual Cuisine Master holding the Dragon Bait.

"Your suspicions are not unfounded."

Despite her reluctance to acknowledge Xin Lin, Empress Feng tasted Xin Lin’s craft during the banquet.

The Emperor Clam Sashimi she crafted was delicious and almost flawless, better than the palace’s Imperial Chefs.

What’s most unreasonable is that Xin Lin recognized the Emperor Toad, a rare Spiritual Food ingredient.

"Empress, the Dragon Bait can lure the True Dragon. If the Empress can find the True Dragon, it would be a great achievement. Just inform Emperor Longteng, Empress you..."

Yang Su continued.

"The matter of Dragon Bait, I want you to keep it to yourself."

Empress Feng suddenly changed her tone, a sharp glint in her eyes.

Yang Su nodded repeatedly.

"Rest assured, Empress, I will not leak any information about the Dragon Bait."

"You’re teachable. Don’t worry, I will take care of your widow."

Empress Feng said with a laugh.

She must find the Dragon Bait and find a way to draw out the True Dragon.

Yang Su felt stunned, widow?

Before he could react, his breath halted.

A Hidden Guard suddenly appeared.

A red flash passed, Yang Su’s throat had a bloody hole, blood pooled on the ground, Yang Su fell dead, breathless.

"Dispose of Yang Su’s family as well, remember, do not let any news leak."

Empress Feng’s cold eyes flashed.

The wickedest woman, this Yang Su deserved to die; she alone needed to know about the Dragon Bait.

Empress Feng exited the cell, Yang Su’s corpse lay there, eyes open.

"Empress, shall we arrest Xin Lin?"

The Hidden Guard asked.

"No rush. First, go to the Spirit Food Association and investigate Spirit Cuisine Masters nationwide who are Four-star or above. By tomorrow, I need detailed personal information, the more comprehensive, the better."

Though Empress Feng suspected Xin Lin, her cautious nature wouldn’t let her act rashly because of someone else’s words.
