"No objections!"

After everyone heard this, they shook their heads and directly opened their mouths to express their thoughts.

"Alright, since no one has any more questions, then let's end this third round."

Seeing this, the head storekeeper purposely waited for a moment. After seeing that no one really stood up to voice their doubts, he announced with a smile.

"Then, the fourth round of the competition is about to begin. This round of the competition is very simple. Moreover, I must make a guarantee in advance. There definitely won't be any problems."

Finishing his words, the shopkeeper turned to the veiled women and said, "You may leave first. Take care of the poison in your hands. Remember to get rid of it."

"Yes, shopkeeper."

When the three veiled women heard this, they turned to the shopkeeper and squatted down. Then, one of them took the poison in his hand and slowly walked toward the door.

Seeing that these veiled women had finally left with the poison, the guests present all let out sighs of relief.

He could finally rid himself of the dangerous poison at any time!

"Men, bring out the items from the fourth round."

After the three veiled women left, the shopkeeper instructed the maidservants by his side.

Very quickly, the maidservants received the order and quickly left, bringing the items they had prepared for the fourth round.

When the crowd saw this, they also became curious about what the fourth round was about.

The first round was about distinguishing between the processed herbs, the second round was about treating the wounded, and the third round was about poison.

Soon, the banquet hall's door was opened once again. However, this time, it wasn't a single maid that appeared at the entrance. Instead, it was five or six maids.

These maidservants carried a huge basket in their hands, and they walked slowly, step by step, towards the banquet hall.

Everyone looked at this huge basket and could smell the medicine coming from it. They began to guess if it was filled with herbs.

But because this basket was extremely huge, they couldn't directly look inside the basket while sitting like this. As a result, for the time being, they didn't know what was inside the basket, and what wan chun tang was planning.

When these maids carrying baskets arrived at the center of the banquet hall, they heard a heavy 'dong' sound. They simultaneously released their hands, and then the massive basket was placed on the ground.

From the sound of it hitting the ground, Liu Xinyue deduced that there were a lot of things inside the huge basket.

"Mistress, this basket is so big, what do you think is inside?"

Ya Er couldn't help but be curious. He wanted to get up from his seat many times, but because no one around him had done so yet, he felt a little embarrassed and could only look at this huge basket and ask Liu Xinyue.

"I think it's some medicinal ingredients."

Liu Xinyue thought for a while, then casually said.

Regardless of what was inside the huge basket, the shopkeeper would announce it soon.

"I also think that it's very likely to be medicinal ingredients."

Hearing Liu Xinyue's words, Ya Er also nodded his head, and revealed his guess.

Just like Ya Er, there were a lot of people who were guessing, some of them guessed that the huge basket was filled with medicinal ingredients, and some of them guessed that the basket was filled with food made from medicinal ingredients, etc.

In short, it was all related to the medicinal herbs. After all, he had already smelled the fragrance of the medicinal herbs.

The maidservants who brought the huge baskets over quickly left the banquet hall after putting it down.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he smiled and said to the crowd, "I think everyone must be very curious about what this basket is and what is inside it."

"Why don't we all have a guess?"

"Then I'll go first. I'm guessing that the food here is made from medicinal herbs, just like the one on the table!"

The man stuck out his tongue to lick his lips and said exaggeratedly, "I could smell the fragrance as soon as I came in!"

"Haha, Sun Lao Si, you only know how to eat. If this basket contains food made from medicinal herbs, then why didn't you take it out right from the beginning?"

"And since it's the same as what's on this table, why bother doing anything unnecessary?"

As soon as Sun Ol 'Four finished speaking, someone quickly stood up and retorted with a smile. Sun Ol'fourth was speechless and even felt a bit awkward.

"If I were to guess, I would guess the simplest. These baskets are filled with medicinal herbs, and they have even been specially cooked. Otherwise, how could there be such a strong medicinal fragrance?"

The person who had refuted Fourth Elder Sun later said his opinion.

"I think it might be some rare medicinal herbs!"

"The reason why I have the same idea as Old Sun is to make some food with medicinal herbs!"

With Sun Biao as the starting point, many people expressed their views, and the scene became lively for a while.

"Second royal brother, what do you think of the things in this basket?"

The Third Marquis Xiahou Lian was also very interested in the huge basket. He could not help but interrupt and ask the Second Marquis, Xia Hou Ling, with a smile.

"What is it? The third brother is actually interested in this as well? "

Xia Hou Ling was about to go and drink his wine, but he immediately raised his cup and finished it in one gulp. He then looked at Xiahou Lian and asked coldly.

"I'm just a little curious, I'm not really interested."

Hearing that, Xiahou Lian laughed, and then waved his hand and said.

"If you are interested, you should be. Is there a need to deny it?"

Xia Hou Ling immediately went back to his seat and indifferently looked at Xiahou Lian, then picked up his wine jug and poured wine for himself. As he poured, he casually said, "If royal father finds out that the three imperial siblings are interested in these medicinal ingredients, I'm afraid he would be happy as well."

"After all, if this happens, Royal Father's identity will become another outstanding and capable doctor, right?"

"..." Second Imperial Brother must be joking. "

The smile on Xiahou Lian's face froze because of these words. He did not expect himself to be mocked by Xiahou Ling in such a way.

Obviously, this was just a spur of the moment decision on his part, as he wanted to create a more lively atmosphere.

However, to what Xiahou Ling said about being a doctor, that was impossible. Xiahou Lian's ambition had never been in this place since he was young.

"That's true. For a good son like you, even if you were willing, royal father would still not let you become the student's doctor."

Xia Hou Ling glanced at Xiahou Lian sideways, and immediately said, "But you wouldn't really want to find a doctor here that can wake Ninth Brother up, right?"

"Isn't it a good thing to take credit in front of royal father?"

"..." Second Imperial Brother, don't you want Ninth Brother to wake up? "

Xiahou Lian's smile could not be maintained any longer, he pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and asked: "I think that if royal father knew, he would probably be disappointed in second imperial brother, right?"

If these words were to reach royal father's ears today, he would definitely be disappointed by Xiahou Ling's actions. This way, his position in royal father's family would be even lower.
